The central mystery of the game revolves around finding Tim's dad and Pikachu's missing human partner, Harry.

The game fails to surprise players with any big reveals, as many of the mysteries and plot points are already covered in the 2019 movie.

The game introduces new twists to the story, such as Charles Merloch's experiments and the fusion of Deoxys, but ultimately the conclusions are the same as the movie.

The game makes a joke about how the movie and game versions of the story are different, leading players to believe that the game will take a different path. However, this turns out to be false, as the game follows almost the exact same storyline as the movie.

The game may feel like a letdown for fans who have already seen the movie, as the mysteries are not really mysteries to them.

The game encourages players to throw away preconceived ideas about the previous story, only to sell it back to them, which can make the adventure feel pointless.
