John Wikstrom seems to have a strong future developing fun shorts around video games he loved growing up, or retelling touching stories about gamers from around the net. His first short "Player Two" hit those notes perfectly showcasing emotion and memory to prove that games can be a spiritual experience.
This time he's put his sights on Pokemon and because of those childhood memories we've all been given a treat in the form of his Pokemon: Evolutions short. You can watch it below.
While it does look like it's almost an official Nintendo trailer for the game it was actually produced by fan Wikstrom and his cast of almost 20 supporters to make the short possible. When sending us the short, John said "I went in the opposite direction that Nintendo has been going in -- instead of talking about what's new, I focused on what it was like to grow up with the franchise, and what it felt like when you first played." I don't know about what you guys think, but I think he captured it beautifully.
