'''Frank''' (Japanese: '''フランク''' ''Frank'') is a [[character of the day]] from ''[[SS033|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]''. He is a movie director and the self-proclaimed "biggest {{p|Pikachu}} fan in the world".

As a child, Frank grew up surrounded by Pikachu. He was a sick and frail child, but the Pikachu always cheered him up. When he was old enough, Frank started going on a journey together with a Pikachu. Later in his life, Frank married and started a family. At a certain moment, his wife would pass away, but the Pikachu were on his side again to show support. Driven by this, Frank decided he wanted to deliver the same smiles he got from the Pikachu to children all over the world by making movies.

In the present day, Frank was shooting a film at [[Pikachu Land]] called ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Lightning Fast! Brave and Strong! Super-Pikachu!}}'' with his granddaughter [[Jean]], when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} passed. [[Ash's Pikachu]] started playing with Frank's Pikachu, and Frank immediately saw potential in Ash's Pikachu. He showed himself to Ash and his friends and offered Ash's Pikachu the leading role in his movie, which Ash and Pikachu accepted. He then took them to his mansion, the [[Pikachu Palace]], and introduced the other stars of his movie to them, all the [[Cosplay Pikachu]] varieties. He revealed to the group that while he did have an idea for the script of the movie, he had not written it down on paper yet. As such, Clemont offered to help Frank with writing the script.
