GOTCHA!: Difference between revisions

The video begins on the Pokémon logo, which fades into featureless versions of the four protagonists of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_by_Me_(film) Stand by Me] walking along a railroad, a reference to the film which played on the television in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. It then cuts to images of a young boy growing up with his {{p|Pikachu}}, before waking up to have the Pikachu crawling over his face; similarly, a young girl is shown growing up with her {{p|Eevee}}, waking up in the morning to give it a kiss on the cheek. The boy, his Pikachu on his head, walks out in front of a third person, sleeping in front of a film projector with her {{p|Yamper}}, and the camera zooms into the sky-like setting on his shirt, where the girl is shown skipping while wearing a backpack with her Eevee in it. The boy and girl each walk through their various locales while in the background, all of the [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Trial Captain]]s, [[Island Kahuna]]s, and [[Elite Four]] members from the first seven [[generation]]s watch them, gathered amongst themselves by their common types.

As they continue walking, the boy and the girl lose each of their Pokémon. Separately, the boy and girl find themselves in a modern-looking city, where they see silhouettes of various [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], and [[Ultra Beast]]s, followed by the silhouettes of the main antagonists of the first seven generations of core games. The boy and girl then each find the others' Pokémon. As the boy looks at the girl's Eevee, the various [[player characters]] are shown running happily together in silhouette, with {{ga|Calem}} stopping to look at the audience.

The scene cuts to various moments from the games. The [[Pokémon Champion]]s – [[Lance]] with his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, {{Steven}} with his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, [[Wallace]] with his {{p|Milotic}}, [[Cynthia]] with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, [[Alder]] and [[Iris]] high-fiving each other, and [[Diantha]] with a [[Poké Ball]] – appear for the camera; {{ga|Rosa}} and [[Hugh]] get ready for a battle with {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Barry}}; [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]], and [[Trevor]] smile; {{ga|Hilda}} is shown walking with [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]], before being replaced by {{ga|Nate}} and the older versions of Cheren and Bianca, respectively; {{ga|Serena}} and her {{p|Greninja}} get into a [[battle]] with {{p|Mewtwo}}; {{ga|Elio}} is shown hanging out with [[Hau]] and [[Gladion]]; similarly, {{ga|Selene}} is hanging out with [[Lillie]] and [[Nebby]]; [[N]] with his {{p|Reshiram}} stares at {{ga|Hilbert}} with his {{p|Zekrom}}; {{ga|Lyra}} is shown similarly staring at {{ga|Silver}}; [[Wally]] confronts {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}}; {{ga|Blue}} stands at the gate of the [[Pokémon League]] with all of his Pokémon; and {{ga|Ethan}} is shown in his battle with {{ga|Red}}.

As it begins [[rain]]ing, Red's cap flies off and lands on the boy's Pikachu (who is now being carried around by the girl) as a silhouette of {{p|Kyogre}} goes by; similarly, the boy stares at the girl's Eevee during [[harsh sunlight]] while being silhouetted by {{p|Groudon}}. The sky eventually clears, and the boy and girl continue walking around.

The scene cuts to the various [[Galar]] Gym Leaders and participants in the Champion Cup. As [[Hop]] gets ready for battle, he "transforms" into [[Leon]], who is then shown in his battle with {{ga|Victor}} and {{ga|Gloria}}. After being defeated, Leon throws his cap in the air, which flies through a marquee screen and onto the boy and the Eevee. Looking up, they see the girl and the Pikachu, and they reunite as {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} are shown sleeping together in the marquee screen. As the boy and girl introduce themselves, they are watched over by the various {{pkmn|Professor}}s, and then by all of the [[region]]al [[starter Pokémon]], in the marquee screen. The boy and girl, wearing Red and Leon's hats respectively, then leave with their respective Pokémon, while the {{tc|Subway Boss}}es and {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s appear and pose on two of the billboards. The scene then transitions back to the boys from the beginning. The camera tilts up to show {{p|Mew}} flying overhead; as it stares into the camera, a man waves to the camera and throws a [[Poké Ball]] at it as the title appears. After that, the credits roll on a cinema screen with a sleeping girl and her Yamper sitting in the seats as the only audience members.
