    The thing I liked about Lucario and the mystery of mew one of the most memorable Scenes in my opinion is when the Regis attacked. I like that they glitched out before they said their name so Regirock busts out of the ground you see him glitch out a bit and then say his name. Sort of the same for regice and then Registeel was attacking the team rocket and he also glitched out while near the cave. It was just awesome

    My favourite of the bunch is I Choose You, hands down. It was such a beautifully animated ride of nostalgia that it really lets you relive your memories.Of course,there’s also Ho-Oh which’s my favourite Pokemon and I really think no other Pokemon can symbolise the franchise better than Ho-Oh through its iconic cameo in the first episode and the way it stood for Ash and Pikachu’s friendship.
    My second favourite is Spell of the Unown:Entei because of Entei and Molly’s relationship.And woah,Entei’s my second favourite too and it was the coolest thing here.
    My third one is Celebi:Voice of the Forest for obvious reasons of the visuals and Suicune,who still is memorable despite its role being half-baked.
    My fourth is Zoroark:Master of Illusions because finally,Raikou got a movie but it still deserved more.And the beasts were shiny.Celebi returned.The story was quite innovative and interesting.
    Then it’s Lucario and the Mystery of Mew for its beautiful setting and its interesting premise and for the characters arcs of the featured Pokemon,Lucario and Mew and also Regice,Regirock and Registeel.Obviously I was also excited for Ho-Oh’s small,yet pivotal cameo and it didn’t disappoint.
    Honourable mention is Jirachi Wish Maker for its memorable tale of friendship and The Power of Us for its wind-related theme and I kinda liked Diance and the Cocoon of Destruction too.

And Oracion is one of the songs that makes me cry every time I hear it because it makes me remember that movie.

    Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was one of my favs, along with I choose You.

    Because I feel like how they showed her with her weaviles seem like she's a villain, which I woulda loved to see. I was even getting my hopes up when she joined Ash help Lucario. But... nevermind, she's just there to actually help. Aaaaah.
    My other problem is that Lucario senses... rocks? Uhh... what? Rocks don't have auras. If it sensed pokemon within those rocks and Lucario knew he was running into an object filled with pokemon and avoids it, that would be more realistic with his powers and even a great small detail.
    They did add ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN, so it's really great

  • @kcsupersonic1
    @kcsupersonic1 2 роки тому +4

    The easiest way to go over my Top 20 films is to break them down in sections of 5 films each. Starting with 20-16 we have films where largely their only redeeming features are that they are fun to a certain extent. Evolution kind of just plays on nostalgia and the music quality is noticeably poorer than the original film. It even changes some of the most iconic and poignant lines from the original. The Victini films have the novelty of having two different version so it can be fun to play spot the differences, but otherwise the movies are pretty forgettable. They can be summed up by the sentence; a misguided idealist wants to use legendary Pokemon to reunite his people's former homeland and shenanigans ensue when he gets more than he bargained for. The Black and White cast suffers from poor chemistry and the character motivations are not very compelling. Destiny Deoxys has really good action, an interesting setting, and an interesting story but is really sunk by its supporting characters. Tory is quite possibly the single most annoying character in any Pokemon Movie to the point where he is unlikable and unsympathetic: two characteristics that shoot you in the foot when him getting over his fear of Pokemon is a major plot point. I Choose You just feels like an inferior re-imagining of the first Anime. It relies heavily on people knowing the beats of the original Anime so you can compare what has and has not changed about this version of Ash and Pikachu's story. Celebi: Voice of the Forest is really held back by sloppy CG, a one note villain, and lackluster action scenes. It has a passably simple story and is the first film in the Top 20 I would say isn't a straight up bad movie. The one interesting thing it does is give characterization to Professor Oak and show why he and Ash have such a strong relationship.
    15-11 are all films I would consider flawed but enjoyable to varying degrees. They all have elements that make them slightly more compelling whether that be characters, story, messages, or animation that help carry them to a more enjoyable level. The Power of Us has a pretty weak overall plot, but it makes up for it with an abundance of characters who throughout the story actually have simple and understandable story arcs. You have the lady who was traumatized by a Pokemon death and now drives Pokemon away, the good guy who can't stop himself from lying, the girl who is trying to catch a Pokemon for her brother, and all of them have moderately interesting character arcs. Nothing is groundbreaking, but the idea of coming together to do something greater than one person alone is a solid theme. Giratina and the Sky Warrior has a so-so plot and an annoying mascot Pokemon in Shaymin, but is propped up by its solid action, Ash's relationship with Giratina, and the battles in the Distortion World. The villain is pretty weak overall but the Sinnoh crew has great chemistry with each other which helps move the film along. Secrets of the Jungle is the best of the alternate timeline films but ultimately just boils down to a fusion of Tarzan and Ferngully The Last Rainforest that really isn't as good as either of them. The film is pretty consistent with its environmental message and the obvious villain does do a pretty solid heel turn. Overall the movie is fine but does nothing you haven't seen done better in other films with similar themes. Heroes is not a bad film and has some great action scenes, but is overall just not an extremely compelling film. The villains are pretty poor overall and the film's supporting characters are kind of just there and do not add anything to the story. Latios and Latias are two of the better feature legendaries and arguably have the best character moments in the film. It does not have a ton of huge problems but also does not do anything extraordinary either. Arceus and the Jewel of Life's biggest assets are in its scale and story. The time travel plot is interesting and Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina vs Arceus was never not going to be a ton of fun to watch. I think its message that we must take care to cultivate the gifts of the earth that we are given is also fairly solid. The problems with this movie lie in its major plot holes, the fact that you must suspend disbelief that the literal god of the Pokemon world could be brought near to death by humans, and the fact that you are left wishing that the battle between Pokemon gods could have gotten more focus.
    Entries 10-6 are all what I would call good Pokemon movies. They may fall a bit short of being legitimately good movies without any sort of caveat but for Pokemon movies, they all tell solid stories and have a bare minimum decent supporting characters beyond the main cast. Jirachi Wishmaker has a simple message that it sticks to; real friendships cannot be separated or torn apart by distance, time, or space. Max gets a genuinely well done character arc. I actually like May's song and it becomes a really solid musical motif representing our groups friendship with Jirachi. Jirachi never crossed the border into annoying for me and actually ended up being a pretty emotionally intelligent Pokemon. The Villain is also not just evil for evil's sake as he has an understandable backstory, makes a mistake, and tries to fix it. The major problem that keeps it at 10 is that it simply isn't as fun to watch as some of the others. The action is only so-so and the fake Groudon is not a super compelling major threat. Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction is similar to Jirachi Wishmaker in that it has a strong main Pokemon lead, a fun story which develops the main character, and has a strong theme about growth and personal responsibility. It unfortunately shares a similar problem in that its action is not amazing. It has some great climactic moments and Pikachu being turned to stone thematically mirrors Mewtwo Strikes Back but definitely does not have a ton of wow moments. The Power of One mainly makes it this high because its production value is so high. The animation and action is great, the music is great, the side characters are solid and actually have interesting interactions with our main cast, and the villain is actually pretty fun and not just evil. Its biggest problem is the actual story which is cliche, overly idealistic, and does not communicate its true theme very well: that being, "The Chosen One," simply means you are willing to put yourself out there and be that one person who tries to make a difference. It's an extremely entertaining watch, but it is not what I would call an excellent film on its own. Zoroark: Master of Illusions is in my opinion the only Pokemon film that does an evil villain, completely right. He is cunning, well prepared, has understandable motivations, lacks empathy, and is genuinely intelligent. Kodai actually feels like a serious threat and is ruthless enough to kill those who get in his way. It is also really satisfying to see his ultimate downfall because you know it took work and planning to get there. The knock on Zoroark is that it is not super action heavy and therefore lacks in climactic moments. Temple of the Sea is a fun and thrilling adventure that almost feels like Pokemon doing Indiana Jones. The character arc for May and Manaphy is actually really well done with May becoming a "mother," figure to Manaphy but knowing eventually she will have to let it go. It has great themes about responsibility, doing what you have to do vs what you want to do, and environmental responsibility. This film just misses Top 5 because Phantom, the main villain is pretty goofy and never feels like a real threat.
