The trailer, which features the song "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, brings the world of Pokemon to life as Tim is featured walking through a forested area that is filled with Pokemon such as Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle.
Tim also goes through a crowded city where Pokemon and humans are living together side by side. Reynolds' Pikachu, meanwhile, is featured giving a Psyduck and hug and comforting Tim about his father.
"Listen kid, I know this much. If your dad was here he would hug you so hard your bones would pop," Pikachu says with watery eyes as Tim sheds a few tears.
