Gameplay[]
Unlike the previous game, the player can choose to play as either Pikachu or Tim, some places only being able to get accessed by either one of them, the player having to switch between the two to solve puzzles. The rest of the game plays as the original, Tim and Pikachu solving crimes by looking for clues and collecting evidence.
In two-player, one player controls Tim and the other controls Pikachu.
