Nov 6, 2017 HidamariSeashore Recommended If we're going to be honest here, Pokémon needs no introduction, especially when it comes to the anime; a boy named Ash Ketchum gets a Pikachu - a yellow mouse - as a partner, leaves his hometown of Pallet Town, and travels the world while catching new Pokémon along the way, all while he remains ten years old. Well, what if we went all the way back to the beginning and started all over? Perhaps I'm the worst person to talk about Pokémon; I was 10 myself when I ended up being pulled along in the Pokémon craze, and by not looking back, I have ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 5, 2017 sovest555 Recommended Okay, so gonna go part by part here... Story I am particularly impressed how the movie not only retells the original kanto journey, but also weaves back in a once-long-abandoned plot point with Ho-Oh. While weaving the new hotness with Marshadow in felt a bit forced in some aspects, the story had nice pacing and even had some tension at the climax that ultimately was resolved not with raw strength, but by the bond between Ash and Pikachu overcoming those odds. Overall, all that occurred worked quite well even if some of the older parts were abridged for the sake of moving the story along. Art First off, Ash's ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 31, 2018 PokeFan2112 Recommended While it may be a nostalgic cash-in, at least it's an enjoyable nostalgic cash-in. The story, which combined elements of season one with a new plot involving Ho-Oh, was pretty thin, but the stuff with Ho-Oh was very interesting and tapped into the "mythical" vibe I so very enjoy when Pokemon does. The rest at least did a decent job convering the bases of season 1. I didn't like Verity, who was bland and had no personality, but his other companion was good, and his voice actor did a great job. There was a lot of good comedy throughout, especially from Pikachu's antics, and there was some ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 6, 2017 Ransomcake Recommended I was lucky enough to get to enjoy this movie on the big screen twice (dubbed) Last time I did that was over 16 years ago with Pokémon 2. This movie is propably, THE Pokémon Movie we as fans have, been waiting for. As both old fans, Poké Maniacs (Myself included) and newcomers can enjoy) Now ill try to keep this review as spoiler free as possible. Story:8 Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 11, 2018 space_duck Recommended In this day and age of mindless gluttonous consumption of anime season after season we have deluded our tongues to only savor the utmost of the gourmet dishes. We adjust our critiquing glasses and analyze the shows as 'deep', 'fast-paced', 'symbolic' and most of all a 'modern commentary'. In our society of high expecting monkeys comes the 20th Pokemon movie flipping off Einstein and taking us back to the end of the millennia. Story - It's basically the same story that kick started your venture into anime with a few new Pokemon added to still keep it original. Art - We can see some stellar artwork that ...

Dec 5, 2017 Kimotokitou Recommended First of all, I would like to say that I had big expectations as it's been a while since we travelled back to the 1st few generations of the pokemon anime. Even more so when it is going to be animated with current amazing anime animations and art. I was all into this movie and might have been slightly disappointed in this endeavor, but all the while making me feel that it was worthwhile that I watched it, as I travelled along with Ash on this nostalgic road. Spoilers will be included in this review as I write it down. Story: 7/10 Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 6, 2018 Moonmapleferret Recommended I’m a big fan of Pokémon and have been for a while now. I loved to watch the Pokémon anime and films with my brother when he still really enjoyed the series. I originally went to see the film during an extra screening in one of the locations the film was being showed at and I went to see the film with my brother (he is younger then me btw) and the film holds a special place in my heart as it brings up memories of playing the games and watching the anime together. While I was exited to see the film, with it being ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 13, 2018 Masquey Recommended After watching the hoopa & genosect movies prior to this my expectations were rather low. However I was pleasantly surprised, it was pretty good. I had been shown a certain semi-controversial scene near the end of the movie before watching it and was apprehensive about it, but it the movie it fit pretty well. It was a bit weird getting used to this being an alternate time line which incorporated events from the original tv series but also putting new things in it and changed events around. If you watched the original series you'll recognize certain big events but not enough to be called a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 14, 2018 Ameonna93 Recommended I don't see why so many people are making a big deal out of the scene when Pikachu speaks. It was a totally harmless scene, and it was indicated to possibly be in Ash's head. Did Team Rocket really need to be "sneaking around" in this film? Don't get me wrong, I like Team Rocket. However, since this is a retelling, and they don't know Ash (yet) or his friends, there's no reason for them not to approach him and say, "Hey, we heard you guys were searching for Ho-Oh. We're looking for him too. Wanna team up?" Sure, Verity (Makoto) had seen a wanted poster ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 6, 2022 Machete-kun Recommended This review will try it's best to be spoiler-free. To anyone curious about this film, it's more or less a "soft-reboot" of the original Pokémon anime. Catered towards a younger generation, giving them some sort of idea what Ash's adventures were when it first aired (all the while giving its own take on the said journey). Any veteran Pokémon fan would somewhat be disappointed by the cast of characters as they're no longer the original familiar faces we grew up with, but take note that this film is for the newer Pokémon fans. It's a fresh take on Ash's journey per se. Story: 6/10 Read more Open Gift Report |
