In the Jewel of Life, when Giratina is angry at Dialga and starts a fight, Ash runs up to Giratina. Giratina does stop and looks at Ash remembering the time it spent with Ash. Ash even says "So you remembered us." Thus, Jewel of Life is canon if the the Giratina and the Sky Warrior is canon.
I was thinking the same.
That still doesn't make it canon. Because all it's doing is referencing a past event, which took place in another movie. If the event happened during the anime, it would help it's case, similar to Mewtwo.
@@absollum Yes, but Sky Warrior is considered canon (according to this video anyways) as Ash recognizes Shaymin. The only Shaymin that appeared was in Sky Warrior before the episode featuring Shaymin came out. In that movie Ash also encounters Giratina and even rode on him as Giratina remembers in Jewel of Life. So there is a connection between Sky Warrior and Jewel of Life as the Giratina from Jewel of Life is the exact same Giratina from Sky Warrior. Which is why I was saying that if Sky Warrior is considered canon, Jewel of Life should be as well. So even if the event did take place in another movie as you've said, because there is a clear connection between the two if one is canon the other must be as well.
@@iwanttosleep4506 but just because Sky Warrior is canon doesn't make Jewel of life so. It's like saying since Ash's team is the same as it is in the anime at the time, it makes it canon. Not saying it can't be, but making a reference to things that are canon doesn't make it so.
There is also the fact that the 3 movies are supposed to be connected to each other.
Before watching: I know for a fact that Rise of Darkrai is cannon, because a later episode shows Dawn using the Lunar Wing that she got in the movie
What is this Sentence at the Beginning of the Video?!?
What the heck???
The Movies are generally a whole other Level than the Anime and basically all Great, not counting the the very first ones, when the Franchise was still Young!
Alone the Scenery in some Pokemon Movies, the backgrounds, are just Epic, and the Music is also great.
When i think of Pokemon Movies, i think of Quality, especially regarding Scenery/Backgrounds.
And of course, i think of Legendaries. They, and not the games, are what gives Legendaries and Mythicals their PERSONALITY!
Which is why i have High Expectations of the next one, featuring Zarude!

I read that as “What Pokémon *Moves* are canon”, and was extremely confused.
Same
@I’m here for the memes. Almost all blastoise moves are *canons*
I literally thought the same thing as well, and I kept trying to avoid it every time it popped up on my feed
Me too
Me too.
The problem with Ash not remembering Pokemon is that outside the movies, there have been instances where Ash has forgotten the names of Pokemon even though he had already seen them in past episodes/seasons. Following that logic, wouldn't that mean that past episodes were not canon? So yeah, basing it off of Ash remembering/not remembering is not that reliable, I guess.
the episodes is inconsistent enough like a tom and Jerry episodes everything feels like not connected at all
Do u remember every person u meet? No. Same with ash with Pokemon
A Movie Problem is: Ash don't use his Pokedex, when he meets a new pokemon in the movies
How hard is remember Gengar? XD
EvidLekan how many episodes since he last saw one tell me
"Just don't interrupt the summer camp arc" YES!! I LOVED THAT ARC IT NEEDS MORE ATTENTION!!
That arc was my intro to the Pokemon franchise as a whole, picking up the hardback annual 2010 at a fair. I very much agree that it gets slept on.
I always forget about it but when I rematch it the summer camp arc is always a great arc to remember when it starts, kinda nice tbh cuz it means I get to rewatch it like the first time
Raichu my beloved
Zac - "when gligar evolves into glisgor"

It is quite surprising how many movies are actually canon.
back when pokemon had major continuity
Romanke the new anime seems to have good continuity
Yeah most times with anime movies they're non canon.
They’re pretty much all canon if they aren’t in an alternate universe. I’m so tried of people worrying about canon.
@@originated712 You mean, Black and White and X and Y, right? Because Sun and Moon doesn't really have a continuity with BW and XY.
The rise of Darkrai is one of the best pokemon movie.
The entire Diamond and Pearl saga movies are great minus the Zoroark movie lol but still good. And before you cancel me, they are great to me because it’s almost like a trilogy saga
@@conservativedestroyer4056 i still love how savage and badass that zoroark mom was.
@@conservativedestroyer4056 lmao I'm not canceling nobody. I completely agree with you.
Nice
*Slaps* It's a lie
The Power of us is a much better movie
For as long as the Pokémon Legends: Arceus promotion episodes from Pokémon Journeys can be considered canon, then Arceus and the Jewel of Life is canon since Brock, Ash and Dawn tell Goh that they have met Arceus before, which is why they are calm while Goh is freaking out.
But is Hoopa and the clash og ages too
@@falketv8798 I looks to be more likely. What I want to know is if the Keldeo movie is cannon, now that Virizion is in the anime.
@@ezrabaker974 I hope not, because that means the Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion trio was broken just because a group of fools wanted to prove they are good to go..
The funny thing about mewtwo's return is that it was recently confirmed as canon with pokemon journeys where ash and goh face off against the same mewtwo that appeared in the first movie and mewtwo's return.
Ash didn't recognise Mewtwo 😣
@@dr.dishonored.15yearsago.57 Ash did recognise mewtwo , he say "mewtwo" before mewtwo says anything .
@@renzowesz absolutely. Although I’ve not seen the full episode, but if I remember what I did see doesn’t Mewtwo also recognize Ash?
@@renzowesz After watching his review of the episode it seems that I misremembered Mewtwo’s memories of Ash
@@renzowesz He’s even a bit nonchalant about it; while Go is completely freaking out at meeting this unknown super powerful Pokémon for the first time, Ash is all “oh, Mewtwo.”
About Arceus... in the Hoopa movie Ash does recognize Arceus' ring symbol when talking about the Baraz's necklace.
That is a maybe-canon movie.
@@ederlabarrera8143 yea we saw many legendaries in that movie and ash wasnt confused about who was who so yea it's in the maybe canon atm but who knows maybe in journies somehow hoopa might get referenced
To be honest. I find both canon. (But that’s just my opinion)
Hi
@@onepieceking1770 sadly, that movie wasted the opportunity to bring back previous movie legendaries that remembered Ash. It would’ve been amazing seeing Movie 2 Lugia back for 1 more time.
Gotta respect the research he has done must have taken a lot of time
Well, probably. But it just quite simple. Search the major appearances of all feratued pokemon from movies and watch those episodes.
Me: Alexa how many pokemon movies are canon
My drug dealer Alexa: Wtf
@MLGMence 97 Creep.
Well people who make a yt videos for a living ain't that hard
Does anyone know where you can watch every single episode of the anime because I want to watch all the episodes but Pokemon tv doesn’t have it
it's interesting to see how DP did a Trilogy and not stand alone stories and SM did an AU.
It makes me wonder what direction would the anime had taken if they followed the GS Ball arc in the main series and left the 4th movie to something like Ho-Oh's story, or the BW taking the original Team Rocket vs Team Plasma ideas.
The movies and the anime are separte, even when they are somehow canon to EACH OTHER, as in the DP ones, they are not canon to the series. This goes for all Pokemon movies period. The only thing is the SM ones make it more obvious they are an alternate universe, but the earlier ones also are. There is a direct to DVD/VHS whatever movie that is a relation to the first one, so those are canon to one another, but not to any other movies OR the anime series.
@@poisonedyoyo did you not watch the video?
@@shadowbladesabre1945
No, they didn't watch the video. They say as much in another reply thread.
Yes! Rise of Darkrai is canon! Loved that movie, especially the music.
I know, right!? I remember when Black and White had that special Darkrai event, you could watch the Rise of Darkrai movie on the Pokémon website. I must’ve watched it at least 5 times. Easily my favorite movie, tied with Heroes.
Isnt cannon
@NotSoNormal isnt cannon and no, due dont have get there the lunar wing
@NotSoNormal nobody of that movies are cannon

That moment when you realize there was a pokemon trilogy
Er uh Umm
Um I already know that
You didn't know before this video? There's a few you could consider trilogies but 10, 11 and 12 for sure are a trilogy.
@@dbilly121 nope I just thought there was always like 12 movies
@@mario-oc2if Lol sadly sooo many more
Ash be like, I just saved the world let's not mention ever
In line with this character he don't need to brag about it kinda reminds me of luffy but in his case he don't talk about his personal stuff
Lucario and the mystery of Mew I think is further Canonised in Pokemon Journeys as Ash and his Riolu/lucario see to share a deep connection through their aura
Just to comment a few things Lumiose
11:14 For The Mastermind Of Mirage Mewtwo episode, there’s 2 key moments you forgot to tackle into. When Dr. Yung captured Pikachu to take data out of his memories, *actual flashbacks* from earlier movies are seen. We see Flashbacks from at least Pokémon 4Ever, Spell of the Unknown, Heroes, and 2000 when Dr. Yung was taking data on Celebi, Entei, Latias, Latios and Lugia
The first Pokémon movie is also acknowledged here too as when Dr. Yung creates his Mirage Mewtwo, he specifically says to Ash and his friends that *”This is not the same Mewtwo that you are all familiar with”* . That implies that Dr. Yung became aware of the Mewtwo Ash, Brock and Misty met in the first movie and in Mewtwo Returns.
20:20 And about Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, there is another important point you missed. *Ash remembers Arceus* in the movie
When Barza and Mary explain about their grandfather and families background, they show Ash their Arceus Necklaces (since they come from a clan associated with Arceus). Ash specifically says *”Hey, that shape, is it....?”* followed by Serena asking Ash if he’s seen it already and Ash responds with. *”Yeah I’m sure I’ve seen it before...”* .Then, when Clemont confirms they were talking about Arceus, Ash completely remembers it after a bit of thinking
The English dub version explicitly cut that part out for unknown reasons when streaming it on Cartoon Network.
Dedication and Facts: 100
I came here to make this same comment. Mirage Mastermind may be a Western special, but it is CLEARLY canon because Pikachu's memory brings up legendary Pokémon from the first four movies. It seems like the guy who made this video is just biased because he didn't like the movie
SammySimplicity Probably but Lumioise is still a chill guy. He could’ve just forgotten those scenes existed since he didn’t like the special, or like you said, is possibly biased
@@sammo2005 No that does not. A *movie* bringing up something that happened in a previous movie doesn't make it canon, the tv show referencing something that happened in the movie does. By saying that Mirage bringing up the previous movies makes it canon, that would mean GT is canon to Dragonball.
Leonidasatom That’s a false comparison to this when GT isn’t canon not because it makes references to Z, but because it isn’t written by Akira himself, who had next to nothing to do with it.
That, and Super was established as the true canonical continuation of the Z series anyway.
Lucario & The Mystery of Mew, because, predicted Ash's Riolu so is canon
That could make sense
Kuruma Faasuto Yeah.. totally not also cause it made out Ash as an Aura user waaaaay before it became the reason Ash got Riolu.
@@Eithans12367 it was confirmed canon mate and lines up a lot with the sinnoh anime
Do u mean so it’s cannon im not trying to insult u just trying to tell u to edit it
@@Eithans12367 he didn't catch it in that movie and he recognizes a lucario and he has aura so sorry to tell you but lucario and the mystery of mew IS CANON
Rise of Darkrai was definitely my favorite movie as a kid and now, but an honorable mention is Lucario and the mystery of mew, seeing Sir Aaron use his aura to sacrifice himself gave me goosebumps and was an epic moment
Detective Pikachu might actually be considered canon, besides it being live action. In the movie, a scientist references about how Mewtwo escaped from the Kanto region a couple of years ago. A direct reference to Pokémon: The first movie.
* twenty years ago.
it probably has its own canon
Late comment so you might already know but there was an article I read that confirmed Detective Pikachu does take place within the same universe as Ash and his Pikachu. My memory is a little foggy on this bit but I vaguely remember something being said about plans to some how having Tim and his Pikachu linking up with Ash and his
The first movie isn't canon so that puts a shaft through your theory, but even beyond that, Pokemon help humans all over PokeEarth, the only thing Rime City has that cou,dl attemst to it being part of the Pokemon world we know is banning battles, and that doesn't seem like enough. (Maybe) the factthat wild Pokemon roam the city like it's nobody's business but that doesn't feel like it does either.
@@poisonedyoyo We can see Mewtwo in the anime tho.
If you're wondering why there's a second Mewtwo, it's because there was a weird legal issue with Takeshi Shudo's estate that legally stopped them from doing it. An interview confirmed that was the case
One Mewtwo for Mega Mewtwo X, the other for Mega Mewtwo Y.
Water Me Loan 64 I don’t think that’s how it works. You just have two mega stones, even though Mewtwo didn’t use a mega stone in the movie.
They could've created a second Mewtwo. If you look at the Pokedex entry for Type: Null in Sword it says that a new one was created in Galar after someone stole research notes from the Aether Foundation, and that the person with it either is or was an employee of Macro Cosmos
The Two Mewtwo Recreate The Iconic 1960s Spider-Man Meme.
@That One
I just assumed that one of the surviving scientists from the first movie snatched a bit of Mewtwo's DNA and fled to a different region before continuing the cloning procedure.
Easy: The first movie and Lucario and the mystery of mew.
Same
David Anthony Mercado I agree ☝️ with you 100 percent .Since the Lucario movie was the beginning of Ash using Aura
and the best
You forgot the Darkrai movie where Dawn is getting that item she uses lateron in the anime!
And the second movie
Even though the 1st movie isn't exactly my favourite, I do love how it was built up to in the actual show as opposed to being effectively an extended filler like most movies are (didn't know the genesect movie did this too, so that's pretty cool). It makes the first movie feel like much more of an event than the other ones do.
5:10 both Brock and Giovanni are gym leaders, it wouldn’t be too surprising if they’ve met before.
Im weirdly happy that pretty much all of the movies are canon, or at the very least "maybes". And even the au movies have their possible placements in the timeline
Fun fact: according to bulbapedia, Magearna from Sun and Moon is shiny
Technically, it's not a shiny Pokémon as it's the only one in existence.
Sup Bro, there’s 2 Magearnas now.
It sucks that magearna isnt canon or at least the movie of it isnt cus ffs there was the magearna that the scientist created! Right there!
@@MaximumRK No, there aren't. The movie isn't canon since Ash doesn't recognise it.
@@supbro6505 so Lillie doesn’t only owns a Mythical, she owns a shiny Mythical?
I always thought the Jirachi movie took place during the two weeks before the Slateport contest, where they all took a break from May's training to visit the nearby circus. I guess placing it after AG36 makes a bit more sense though, since the movie's internal timeline doesn't leave much room for May's contest training lol.
I really appreciate how much effort went into this. You could've just looked up where each movie roughly takes place and relayed that information, but I can tell that you actually watched all of the episodes and logic-ed them out yourself base don characters recognizing Pokemon and even geographical similarities to anime and movie locations. Great video.
Until the BW anime I feel like pretty much every movie was canon. BW onwards they didn’t really care to keep the movies in continuity though.
I remember when N mentioned something about a Genesect army in the anime.
To be fair BW anime sucked
I personally just think BW as non cannon and alohla a side story
TheBraveGallade the hell?
Denil Ramos yeah the Genesect movie is probably the only BW movie that’s canon since it’s referenced in the anime. I don’t know about the Keldeo one though.
@@thebravegallade731 alola and bw is a main story whether you like it or not.
"Movie 5 this is another movie that is Canon"
THANK GOD
Which means latias still kissed Ash.
@@HuntertheWraithDragon NANI
@@megalovaniayearsago man haven't you seen the movie
@@HuntertheWraithDragon 😂😂😂
Damn. A Pokémon kissed Ash.
I would recommend watching the Lucario movie after AG145, the teams between these two aren't different at all if i remember correctly.
My reason is that both are the final episode and final movie voiced by 4kids and watching the movie last feels like the better way to conclude the 4kids dub era.
Yeah. You want them to go out with a bang, not a wimper.
In the Hoopa movie, Ash is seen to have recognize the legendaries that normal Hoopa summoned(Lugia, the Lati twins, and Rayquaza) as allies. I feel like it should lean it a bit towards canon, though the inclusion of Kyurem does kind of complicate the argument a bit more.
Wait I'm pretty sure the 17th movie is Canon because the trainer ash fights in that film is Asteid with Mega Absol but she appears in the Kalos league.
They showed Mega Absol vs. Hawlucha in the opening of the movie and the kalos league (rushed -_-)
My thoughts exactly. In the movie, Hawlucha gets defeated by mega Absol, but later in the Kalos league, we could've seen Hawlucha's training to defeat that same Pokemon. It was disappointing to see the makers not show us that redemption moment :(
Also, We don’t know if Ash knows or remembers Astrid
Lucario Knight ????
They not talked before the league battle, so no one knows. That would have been their first battle in canon.
I just realized that all the movies are in they’re respective region but Alola does not have one.
and we wont get any more now either since they are doing AU movies now
yeah right..whyy.. :(
@@user-rl9ql2fu4y cause they dont wanna do movies in relation to main anime anymore they wanna go AU
@@anishsingh2848 HMM.. :( HOPE NOT..
@@anishsingh2848 whats AU?
12:19 Movie 10 is also Canon because in the episode with the adamant orb the one where team galactic made their debut at the end of said episode they showed a model City Alamos Town so yeah movie 10 is canon not doubt about it
Wait they did??? What episode did this happen in?
I remember that episode 😃👍🏻
This was actually a very well done video! Like impressed with you finding good spots for the movies to fit and explaining to people that most movies are indeed canon to the main anime. And even fitting the recent movies as bridges between gen six and seven, then seven and eight. Well done!
With ash sensing lucarios aura in episode 25 mystery of mew is technically canon
Just looked back at the episode and ash staight up said "i sensed lucario's aura" further confirmation of the lucario movie
Zac: Ash maybe can still catch Latias. Nah, I doubt it.
Hell, if Ash was able to win a League, then catch Dragonite, Gengar, and Riolu in a matter of episodes, I can believe anything at this point!
He wasn't an actual league yet.
@@DragonForceGaming525 The Alola League is an actual league, soooo
@@DragonForceGaming525 Stop being in denial. The Alola League was a real league(Kukui had a better team than Alan, it definitely was a deserved win)
@@thatsprettyfarfetchd9888 And Ash had really op pokemons back then, like naganadel
It's possible there might be a cameo but I doubt a catch.
I find it funny that Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is now even more canon since Ash has a Lucario and it literally talked to him via aura.
is there a place i can watch all movies?
update on movie 15. Ash in the newest special episode 4 regarding a powerful Beatric notes that its ability to create ice spikes just by breathing would impress even Kyurem. this suggests Ash remembers Kyurem and how powerful it was. so, this might make movie 15 canon.
damn nice
Short answer: all of them except the ones w/AU Ash and the Mewtwo Strikes Back remake are canon.
Edit: Okay, watching the vid, there is more nuance to it than I originally thought.

@@samuelgarza2466 Hi.
I found this channel while i was gathering
people for a good Cause, so i thought "Well, this
place is as good as anywhere else + Pokemon fans
should know right from wrong, i guess?"
So? Anyone has interest in making youtube, a famously
broken Plattform, better?
We try to fix some issues by
gathering Links and reporting for example Racists,
Sexists, Mobbers, and those who are all of that at once.
I do this for a long time now, so i totally got a lot of
such Links; just ask if you want some!
So, random as can be, but: Interest?
For the Darkrai movie, there's something else I wanna bring up that wasn't mentioned. In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Episode 36 "A Secret Sphere of Influence!" at 8:20, a small model of the Space-Time towers from the movie appears in a display in the background!
I like the beginning part of the Hoopa Movie, since it showed that, yes, Ash did grow closer to his Pokémon since Kanto, as he knows which Pikachu is his w/o hesitation.
21:13 the Zygarde point can very well be countered. Zygarde was only in its 100% form for only like a minute in the movie because it was by itself and didn't have all the cores and the other Zygarde while it was longer in the anime because it had those. it was on a very short timer when it went into its 100% form by itself but it's able to stay in 100% at will if it has the other Zygarde along with the cores.
For his next point about Magearna Ash also never explicitly acts completely clueless around Magearna saying something like “who is that Pokémon?” He asks Lillie if he could touch Magearna. In the movie when he first meets Magearna Volcanion is protective of Magearna from Ash and the Kalos gang so Ash’s reaction could be a response to that. With all the other hints this movie feels more like a maybe but I might just be biased because this is my second favorite Pokémon movie.
Title: Which Pokémon movies are canon
Me: Well well well let's find out
17:20 it is canon know since Kyurem was refrenced in aim to be a pokemon master.
Yes. There's absolutely no doubt that the Sinnoh Trilogy is canon. And I specifically remember Dawn showing us her Lunar Wing within Battle Dimension. And the four-part special about Arceus that's soon to come to Pokémon Journeys will likely prove that Arceus and the Jewel of Life is canon. Also, The Rise of Darkrai is the one Pokémon movie that made me cry because of Darkrai's death and of Oracion.
Arceus and the Jewel of Life is canon because Giratina remembers Ash from before and so do Ash, Brock and Dawn
That movie is cannon to the shay in movie. Cos its a sequel. But you can't tell if its cannon to the anime. Giritina remembering Ash means it's cannon to the shaymin movie but not the anime
Oh! Thanks for correcting me.
@@majesticmo5048 Yes but if Sky Warrior is considered 'Canon' then there's no reason for Jewel of Life to not be as well. I mean, if they can realise a Shaymin outside of a movie, and that movie is canon, that means the Giratina in Sky Warrior is also canon. And THAT Giratina recognizes Ash meaning Jewel of Life is canon as well.
Dialga trusted ash and company to fix a wrong that happened thousands of years ago and sent them back in time, and the creation trio even went out of their way to stop arceus when back then they only cared about themselves. The creation trio trilogy is definitely canon
They also said that the clash between palkia and dialga only happened because arceus woke up causing them to come into contact and fight each other.
Latias is easily my favorite legendary Pokémon. At the pace that Ash is heading with catching Dragonite, Gangar, Lucario and Slowpoke, catching Latias would be absolutely epic
Slowpoke?
@@diegonals Next episode features a bunch of Slowpoke, but he ain't getting one.
D. Sánchez Barreras I forgot to write “possibly” please forgive me
Cause nothings says pacing like Slowpoke
Isn't it slowking which he will get trouble from ?
I first became aware that some of the movies are canon in the Johto Series when Ash mentions having met a Lugia on the Orange Islands.
I consider the Sinnoh quartet to be canon, because it doesn’t make sense for the first one of them to be canon and the others which are sequels to it talking about the first not being canon. especially since they’re all tied together with an overall storyline.
oh yeah I remember the mastermind movie especially the part who ash left misty dying over there just to go save his pikachu (may saved her later)
well pikachu is also sapient
I was really expecting the vast majority to be non canon, much like most other anime (One Piece, Dragonball, Naruto, etc.)
This is a nice surprise. If I ever end up rewatching the whole series I'll probably pop the movies in there too, so thanks for the watch guide!
The japanese view most of the movies as canon they rarely bother with the continuing and stuff atleast from what I've seen
This helped me a lot for the plans on my Pokémon fanfic series. Thank you for making the video! 😄🙏
19:38 Objection! Somebody did recognize Carbink, it was Meowth. So therefore, it is possibly canon.

If you notice a mistake please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks.
Bless this post!
Curious as to how the Japanese numbering would be slightly different as I plan to rewatch the show in the original language and am not sure what the episode difference is. Like for DBZ it was a 14 episode difference but idk if it’s that significant the episode discrepancy for Pokemon
@@tanishyadav5073 thanks this took quite a bit longer to make than I originally thought but I pulled through so some people wouldn't have to do this also :).
Thx so much! Its "canon" tho, cannon is something different :P.
Hey, I think I found prove for movie 12th being canon. Remember season 12 episode 39?
At the Jotho festival Dawn recognizes Totodile. Before all three of them get introduced. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, that is the first time in the anime in which Dawn meets Totodile and the only other time before that was movie 12.
Zac: the first non cannon is the bw movies.
Me: what about the spec-
Zac: Shut
im gonna be honest.the zekrom and victini movie has my favorite opening.the "black and white" opening song is great.
the battle animations were pretty cool,with the fully evolved unova starters and all.shame its not canon
Really impressed with your knowledge. Keep up the good work!

Hi.
I found this channel while i was gathering
people for a good Cause, so i thought "Well, this
place is as good as anywhere else + Pokemon fans
should know right from wrong, i guess?"
So? Anyone has interest in making youtube, a famously
broken Plattform, better?
We try to fix some issues by
gathering Links and reporting for example Racists,
Sexists, Mobbers, and those who are all of that at once.
I do this for a long time now, so i totally got a lot of

So, random as can be, but: Interest?
Don’t insult him like that. Hoops is arguably the most annoying one off Pokémon in a movie

"Episode 69"
*Heh heh*
This was an awesome video! Didn’t expect so many movies to be deemed canon, but I’ve always loved when movies are connected to the main series for any show. I’m a new subscriber but this quality content.
I think the jewel of life It’s canon because in the journey special Ash and Dawn remember Arceus but Goh didn’t recognize it
Ok
This was like 2 years before the special was aired
I have been trying to make a perfect Pokémon timeline for my binge of it, and while I still need to figure out the placement of smaller things one off thing such as the Pichu Bros and the Pikachu specials this was really helpful for the movies.
Did you do it?
The thing that makes me wonder for movie 21 if it’s canon or not. I know I you covered it, but another good point would be if Ash recognized Zeraora from the movie in SM. I can’t remember so it would be good for you to clarify
That's impossible because Movie 21 take place in different universe.
The first movie is canon i guess ash and misty is going to end 😱😱😱😱😱
Inamdar Yasin did u watch the video there is a chance it could’ve happened after xyz and before sun and moon
@@Haiden.Ambrose there is literally nothing to prove that, also that was 2nd movie during SM, creators probably didn't even thought of this before they SM series even started, Ash didn't even know about Lugia.
Inamdar Yasin I know that’s why the person above asked if there was something to prove it
Believe it or not, I awaited that someone does this subject of video as seriously as you did since a long time. Pokemon movies' canonicity always intrigued me.
Sometimes i imagine me & My cousin as Ash & Red in one universe & for the movies like this
M1 : The Rise of Mewtwo
M2 : The Silver Power
M3 : An Unown Mystery
M4 : Celebi & the Crystal hero
M5 : Two Heroes
M6 : The Wish Maker
M7 : The DNA Destiny
M8 : The origin of Lucario
M9 : Manaphy & the Ocean temple
M10 : Control Time, Control Everything
M11 : Giratina & The Sky Warrior
M12 : The Jewel of Life
M13 : Mirage Master Zoroark
M14 : The Shadow of Zekrom
M15 : Keldeo & The Blizzard Dragon
M16 : Beyond Legends & Myths
M17 : Between Life & Death
M18 : The Clash of Legends
M19 : Volcanion & The Rising Gear
M20 : Pokkén Tournament DX
M21 : Everyone's Power
M22 : The Rise of Mewtwo Evolution
M23 : Koko
M24 : Pokémon Master League GX
This video is great and well researched man! When I rewatched AG I was so surprised to actually hear Professor Lund and LaRousse mentioned in the main city.
Okay but regarding the diance movie, ash gets a rematch battle with Astrid during the Kalos league who he fought in that movie it’s even mega absol vs hawlucha again. Yeah the not remembering Pokémon thing is concerning but I think the Astrid rematch during xyz should at least push it into a maybe
That's also what I think
I have to agree. The fact Astrid returned also makes me think it is canon or a maybe as you said. The carbink in the movie looked different than those they seen in the wild, which might be a big reason. This has happened multiple times within the anime.
I don't remember if Ash mentioned whether or not it was a rematch. I don't think they did, but I haven't seen the battle since it came out.
Did Astrid or Ash say something about their last battle? if not then the Diancie battle falls in the same category as Alain an Korrina, movie exclusive
@@FranciscoRamirez-nb4uu true but the Volcanian movie could have taken place after the Kalos league and before Greninja ran off with Squishy. Possibly when they were returning from taking Goodra.
The Absol Haulucha match was the last match as well so there's a chance Ash and that other trainer greeted each other before the match.
Although it's all speculation but I personally wanted Volcanian to be an actual encounter for Ash.
Just wanna say that movies 10, 11 and 12 (Rise of Darkrai, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Arceus and the Jewel of Life) WERE SO THOROUGHLY PLANNED OUT!! All three are connected in the sense that Palkia and Dialga's space and time dimensions collided due to the reawakening of Arceus (as mentioned in movie 12) and each thought they were invading each other's territory, hence fighting. Their fight caused massive destruction which was reflected in the Reverse World/Distortion World, prompting Giratina to be very angry at the damage dealt to its world, and hence dragging poor Dialga into its world in Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Shaymin was unintentionally caught in the cross-fire and used Seed Flare to open a portal. Dialga escaped and put Giratina in a time loop and the events unfolded. In Arceus and the Jewel of Life, all three rose up to stop their creator on a rampage after finally awakening, with Dialga sending the "twerps" back in time and Palkia trapping Arceus in space. I love the attention to details and how all three plots were interlinked!
Excellent breakdown! This definitely earned you a massive SUBSCRIBE!
I needed this video for real! Gave me a greater insight for sure on how some movies I believed were canon, aren’t. Outstanding job bro 🏆
"Most of them kinda suck"
Hahaha! 😂
Sun and moon sucked cause there was no movie
@@reese4320 yes they was idiot
@@reese4320 yes they was idiot
@@princedeep42 what was the movie called
@@princedeep42 if u say power of us it ain't it
actually, brock sees giovanni atleast one other time besides the mewtwo returns special: in the 41st episode of season 3, "the fortune hunters", ash, brock and misty see cassidy and butch have a video call with giovanni.
I mean, it's still probably canon, but you know, that one point doesn't stand as strong.
Mewtwo returns has to be canon tho since otherwise how else would ash recognize mewtwo in the genesect movie? His memory was erased at the end of the first movie meaning ash wouldnt know who mewtwo was unless he saw it again after that movie. Only time that happens is mewtwo returns
@@MadCrafter360 I never said it wasn't canon, in fact, I said it probably is, I just said the one point of brock recognising giovanni doesn't work as well.
@@Pascll ah, ok
3:50 in a different episode of the Johto anime there talking about articuno and ash says it would be cool if they were real or something like that so the Pokémon anime makes no sense... the again they did call rice ball a jelly filled donut so I don’t think it ever made sense.
the last one was dub error
I'm sad that the Magearna movie isn't canon. I've felt the Pokemon movies have grown more and more stale, but I found this moving quite touching actually. It also has a beautiful song in the international versions.
I'd alternate Movie 20's watch period to After the Indigo League instead of before the series starts. That way you don't spoiler Charmander's introduction and you can fully compare his original journey to his alternate journey through Kanto. Plus it let's you end your rewatch of the original series by learning what the Pokemon Ash saw at the start of his journey instead of waiting until right before his fourth gym battle in Johto. Plus it's a pretty clean break, since Friends to the End ends with a freeze frame of Ash running towards the friends he made on that journey so it works better as a transition into an alternate take.
There’s also the fact that in episodes of Pokémon Journeys they have begun directly referencing several movies with Ash having reunions with the versions of the Pokémon from the films specially
Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back takes place sometime after Showdown at the Po-ke Corral, where Mewtwo is seen escaping from Team Rocket HQ. This mismatch was caused by the Pokémon Shock incident causing the anime to be put on hiatus for several months.
The power of us or movie 21 as he call it is amazing, especially the first two acts, it just showed people living their lives in a world that happened to be full of Pokémon and it was so sweet and beautiful. Ash and the ending are probably the lowest parts and it would’ve been improved if Ash was not included but it’s still my favorite Pokémon movie that I’ve watched in a long while
answer all except the newer recent ones as they have their own story just with the same protagonists. Its like those dbz movies like android 13 or bio broly. Just stuff to enjoy and not to take continuity as a factor.
The DBZ films aren't canon besides the last 3.
@@sirmel11 yeah ik hats what i meant. The recent pokemon movies are like the dbz movies
16:25 the twin Black & White movies are Parallel timelines in my opinion. the Truth & Ideals spiel that happens in both proves this. all you'd have to do is swap the two words from one movie and bam, you have its twin.
I never understood why they keep using ash for AU scenarios when they could use any of the game protagonists
Probably because he's still more recognizable than most of the game characters, therefore more marketable.
I think it would be a good idea to have the anime be ash, and the movies be game characters. I really want to see all of the game protagonists. One problem is that they would barely have time to detail the story, as it does have to show the one characters whole journey. That’s probably why they stuck with ash.
Some of the video game protagonists make brief cameos in the movies intros in one of the films we see Brendan with a swampert in one of the intros and in another movie with a agron
Or more original plots and characters, au ash without the nostalgia bait is boring af
Brock might just reckognize Giovanni from the 8th gym or the news tbh.
A little fact from Pokemon 2019 series, they somewhat remember movie 8 and Ash’s aura sensing so well, he was able to sense a Riolu’s aura while it was still in an egg and hatch it and meet Korina when he and Go stopped in Kalos by having him and his new Riolu recognize the aura of a Lucario
The aura thing was also how he evolved Greninja
In the movie "Hoopa And The Clash Of Ages",ash recognises the Arceus pendent shown by the siblings..
Which makes "Arceus and Jewel Of Life" cannon...
True, but that does exactly proof the Hoopa movie is canon
You really did a lot of research man.... Hats off 👏👏👏
Great video i have huge respect for the research you did to find out where the movies go and if they are cannon. Cant wait to see more man glad this showed up in my recommend
Thank you. This video probably took a very long time to make, and a ton of effort. I learned a lot through watching this video, and I thank you for your hard work on not just this video, but all the others as well. I loved this video, and I hope that you keep up the hard work. Have a good day. 👍
I can't remember the episode, but there is an episode of the Orange Islands where they get on the same boat that they're on at the start of the 2nd movie. The next episode shows them getting off that boat, so the movie takes place between those episodes
Movie 17 should be canon because astrid faced off against ash in the movie as well as in the kalos leauge
YES FINALY something that tells me where the movies take place (or is it when?) thank you so much this will be so helpful in my rewatch
I’ve been planning a whole pokemon rewatch for months now, but always had trouble placing the movies. This video is a life saver 😂
The thing i like the most about the movies is the theme song at both the begining and the end of the movie, it always brings a smile to my face
Thank you for the video it was very informative.
