Anime

Pikachu is shown in a looping sequence across different styles and settings: in an animated style, it smiles with closed eyes and pats its cheeks against a blue sky; in a live-action style, it wears a detective hat and magnifying glass while standing in a dimly lit room; in another animated scene, it is held by a person who is gently squeezing its cheeks, causing it to smile widely. The loop alternates between these three distinct portrayals of Pikachu.
