Everything looks so beautiful and updated and it's great to see Kanto this way. I Loved the parts with Ho-oH and seeing all the rainbows and bright sunlight. If you've been a Pokemon Fan since day one, why not give it a watch? I was pretty excited about this project. The thought of experiencing the golden era of Pokemon again but in a visually upgraded format and experiencing some of it's 'greatest hits' was very appealing. But then I watched the movie. I don't mind the changes they made..
I WOULDN'T mind the changes if it meant getting an upgrade story-wise, but the writing was piss-poor and actually seemed really rushed towards the end and sloppy as hell. I wouldn't even mind the fact that they replaced Misty and Brock with some randoms and gave Team Rocket like 2 minutes of screen time if it would contribute to their vision of this installment of Pokemon, but it was just so disappointing.
The only thing that I actually liked about this movie was the visual appeal to it. They did a decent job with that, but pretty much everything else felt off. There were a few nostalgia trips that I kinda liked, but everything was so random and out of place that I just couldn't get into it. This was such a cool idea and had a lot of potential, but they blew it. I was really disappointed with the end result. I'm You might wonder why I'm telling you this, but that is not without significance.
When I was 6 years old I would get up every Sunday morning at One moment you're like: Wow, that's like the old days, and in another: ugh that's not good.
What works: 1st off The movie is a mix of nostalgia and new gen Pokemon's and characters, and they actually made it work. Right off the bat you're taken back to pallet town and you know where this is headed, nostalgia adventures. You get to see some old legendary encounters and some heartfelt moments, which sweetens this roller-coaster ride. We finally gets some closure an in depth story regarding ash an Ho- Oh.
The chapter I waited for so long as a kid is finally here. On a last and more serious note. That would have allowed them to slow it down, focus on story and would have made the heartfelt moments pay off more than they did.
This is my favorite pokemon movie ever!!!!!!!! Very touching and a great story. I would recommend the movie to everyone!!! This movie changes up the original story of ash and pikachu and has them go on a new adventure to meet Ho-Oh.
Very funny at lots of moments and the battle scenes are very cool! I though some of this movie was good but i wanna get the negatives out of the way. This is nothing like Thomas and friends, The adventure begins. This is just a completely seperate movie with little classic episode references. While i am annoyed that aside from the start and the bye bye butterfree moment when even butterfrees moment was not even that acurate!
Not to mention they never showed charizards disobedience or ash catching any more pokemon!!! Yes, it was annoying how brock and misty did not have a major role in the movie, the newer characters were nice enough and had proper character development.
Come to think of it, they are kind of brock and misty done right!!! Overall, if your looking for a movie that is some what close to the adaptation of the original, this is not the one but its very entertaining never the less. When Pokemon the Movie — I Choose You ended, the audience applauded, some held tears and others smiling.
This is a Pokemon movie quite different from any other Pokemon movie before. Be warned as there are heavy spoilers. The main-highlight of this movie is not a legendary Pokemon nor centered on the idea of a chosen one like many Pokemon movies before. The movie does feature Ho-Oh, a legendary Pokemon, and the myth of a Rainbow Hero, however they aren't the focus of this story.
No, the big focus of this movie, that separate this movie from other Pokemon movies, is simply Ash and Pikachu journeying across the Pokemon world forging new friendships and memories together alongside Sorrel and Verity. Speaking of characters, Sorrel and Verity, two friends journeying alongside Ash, are well-developed with strong backstories to them. We can see these goals clearly motivated through his actions, such as respecting Entei's turf and showing great concern over Charmander's health without second thought, quickly doing his job to heal Charmander as best he can shown through details such as his knowledge and usage of medicine.
As the story continues, we learn more about Sorrel such as his motivations and childhood. Verity however doesn't have a clear goal yet invokes a lot of excitement and determination, building a strong friendship with Ash and Sorrel. Later it's revealed why her goal isn't clear. You, the audience, find out Verity has a complicated relationship with her mother, a famous and familiar trainer who expects great things from Verity yet it seems everything Verity does is small compared to her mother's achievements.
Verity is quite the expressive character and the animations and voice-acting really shows it through her facial expressions, thoughts, and tone-of-voice that help strengthen her relationship with her friends and family. Through moments such as Ash and Verity meeting each other through battle, Verity smiling at the many memories she's taken pictures of late at night or playing at the lake with friends really shows her connecting a lot to Ash and Sorrel forging a strong friendship together.
In fact friendship is another main-highlight of this movie thriving through many touching moments, big and small. For a movie that's only 98 minutes long, Ash, Sorrel, and Verity actually encounter quite a lot of adventures awaiting them in the Kanto region such as trying to take on the fierce Entei towering over Ash Ketchum up-close leaving many audience member surprised and shocked at Entei's real and intimidating size to the three friends sending their emotional goodbyes to Butterfree leaving some teary-eyed to smaller moments such as hanging around the campfire as there Pokemon refuse to leave them in the cold to enjoying a ride on Lapras across the river as the morning sun rises.
However 'I Choose You' has flaws. For example, the beginning is quite rushed. However when the Pokemon theme song arrives, the narrative starts to blossom into quite the journey and despite defying some mechanics of the games, the immersion of the Pokemon world portrayed here isn't broken. Through the exploration of Kanto's natural environment, do we truly see an amazing side of the Kanto region that fans have never seen before. It is truly a spectacle that very few animated works can capture.
As the story continues, the group encounters Cross who serves as the story's antagonist. He is a simple character that feels might makes right and this character works for the most part. He's not an evil lunatic, he's simply a regular human being who is against Ash's beliefs.
The story stays strong until the third act. In the third act, Cross is transformed from a simple rival to a generic villain. Another problem is Marshadow, an interesting addition to the movie, corrupting Ash's thoughts leaving the audience guessing what his mysterious role is only to be revealed to have quite a confusing background.
If that wasn't enough, Pikachu talking to Ash, what is supposed to be serious instead has the audience laughing. As the story progresses, Ash dies an odd death and is brought back to life through what appears to be Ash's bond with Pikachu, once again leaving the audience clueless. After all this, Ash finally battles Ho-Oh only for this supposedly amazing battle to go off-screen away from viewers eyes.
After the third act ends, the three friends part ways. Despite the third act, many in the audience could still feel the many memories and adventures these three friends had together as they departed.
Some of the audience members during this scene smiled and others even had a few tears under their eyes. To some fans, it's a reminder of the day Ash sadly parted ways with Brock and Misty. Whereas many other Pokemon movies were fanservice featuring legendaries and beautiful but smaller locations not part of the games, Pokemon the Movie - I Choose You separates itself by focusing on a plot not necessarily on Ho-Oh or the Rainbow Hero but Ash and Pikachu's journey across the Kanto Region.
It is such a shame that by the third act, the story falls apart as the story was quite the memorable adventure. However perhaps some fans who claim the movie is awful are right and this entire review is wrong however their opinions are a stark contrast to the audience I've seen and heard, happily applauding the movie, some having a few tears in their eyes, smiling at the many adventures told, big or small.
I am a huge Pokemon fan but I have to admit that most Pokemon movies are actually really bad in the story department. The beginning is a bit rushed and there are plenty of unnecessary cameos of Team Rocket but ultimately it settles into Ash's journey alongside with his best buddy, Pikachu, across the Kanto region. It's not a story about Ash trying to save the world nor is it a story about Ash trying to stop some villain or legendary Pokemon going on a rampage.
It's really a simple story of Ash and Pikachu's journey across the region and that's what I love about it. The two characters, Sorrel and Verity, who travel with Ash are great, in some ways better than Brock and Misty from the anime.
Sorrel and Verity are well developed characters with good back stories, personality, and have there moments that you can relate to, especially Verity. Honestly I'm surprised how well done it was to develop these character in such short time compared to the much longer anime series. Ash, Sorrel, and Verity traveling on the road together feels like they've been on a long exciting journey forging new and precious memories together.
As the story continues, they feel like best friends that known each other for a long time. Also if you are a huge fan of the games and it's lore, you will enjoy a surprising reveal around Verity's backstory.
I have to say the journey of Ash and Pikachu traveling across the region, battling new trainers and making new friends has been great. As a Pokemon fan, it reminded me in some ways of Red from the video games, not Ash from the anime.
Despite a few flaws, the story is pretty great until the 3rd act. The 3rd act is filled with so many problems that plague previous Pokemon movies that will even leave hardcore Pokemon fans clueless on what is happening.
The 3rd act has so many 'jump the shark' or 'deus ex machina' moments out of nowhere. How bad is the third act? Well unlike the other Pokemon movies, at least for me, 'I Choose You' has such a charming well-developed plot with great moments that it makes it even worst when the 3rd act arrives, ruining the entire journey with such a horrible way to wrap things up with bad, sometimes laughably ridiculous, moments. For example, there is this one unexpected scene around Pikachu that is supposed to be dramatic but instead the audience couldn't help but laugh.
Also on a side note, the art-style and animation is just gorgeous. To the Pokemon fans, it really shows another side of Kanto. To ordinary folks who never gotten into Pokemon, the art-style and animation is breathtaking.
In fact, unlike other Pokemon movies, this doesn't take place in one centralized location. In fact, cities and towns are barely present in this movie. Much of it is focused on the more nature-oriented side of Kanto from woods reaching the skies, to massive rivers flowing past the horizon, to vast valleys filled with roaming Pokemon, to towering mountains that go past the clouds.
It really is a beautiful treat for those eyeing for detail or quality animation. Other than that, if I had to choose my favorite moment Spoiler Alert , the movie shows a literal, deep and honestly somewhat depressing comparison between the charming and fun world of Pokemon where at the age of 10 you can freely explore the world with a magical creature by your side and the real world yes, the REAL WORLD where many ordinary people feel stuck in boring everyday lives, dreaming what's out there in the world, thinking to themselves that you'll never really know what's out there unless you go there.
Never expected, in the history of the Pokemon series, that they ever went there, making a comparison to the Pokemon world and the real world. It truly leaves you wondering about how magical the Pokemon world really is. With all this being said, I recommend people see it, whether your just not into the Pokemon series or a hardcore fan of the Pokemon games or anime.
If they fixed the third act, I might even dare say that this movie could even be one of the best animated films ever made. Other than that, the plot, characters and animation are excellently developed in the first two acts and really brings out a sense of adventure, freedom, friendship, charm, awe and wonder to me that honestly I can't really find in many other major films. And omfg!! I haven't watched the anime series for a few years and I've missed a few movies I plan to watch them soon but this new movie..
I remember watching the Pokemon films way back since the first one came out to the west back in At that time, Pokemon was a huge worldwide phenomenon and I believe the closet thing for it to have a second coming was Pokemon Go back in Yes Pokemon had been around for years but its popularity, from my point of view was sort of fizzling around the early 's.
Maybe that was around the time I grew out of it before getting back into it around when I went on a nostalgia trip with it.
When this movie was announced, I was hyped and I was never hyped for a Pokemon film ever since I was a kid. When the trailer came out revealing the characters and all, I was one of those fans that were disappointed that Misty and Brock were replaced by two different characters who would have not much importance to the series anyway. I'll get to those two later. After seeing this movie, I will say that the movie is definitely refreshing compare to the other previous films that were released in the past.
In fact I think they were weakest films out of the Pokemon franchise. So it's nice to see a retelling of the original series that was more like a story. But a good movie does have flaws. I think the two new characters that Ash encounters with were OK but flat. The story goes from here and doesn't have much of a direct plot except that the follow of Ash on his Journey in kanto. We meet Charmander and he's been left behind by a shitty trainer like before. This guy named Cross.
In my opinion, this guy is the typical villain trainer who thinks strength is more important than friendship blah blah blah. Ash takes Charmander under his wing, He evolves and proves the Trainer wrong. I found a lot of the things that were brought from the original anime felt noticeably rushed. Like when Caterpie evolved into Butterfree and then meets his mate and then leaves for mating season.
I found it funny at one point when the Primeape were attacking them, Sorrel recommends metapod clip Yeah. Another thing featured in this film was Marshadow following ash through his shadow.
He gives Ash a glimpse of how important it was to be a good Trainer and the destruction it can cause if you were like Cross. Team Rocket even makes a few appearances throughout but in my opinion they didn't even need an appearance.
Haven't we had enough of Team Rocket throughout the series? Please just be off. Also one thing that sort of ruined it for me, was Prof. Oak's voice. Yeah no I know he wasn't featured for very long So The story at times seems very Lazy and they just threw in little parts to give us all Nostalgia. But wasn't that the whole purpose of the film? It was released on the 20th anniversary of Pokemon and the writers probably felt free to throw in whatever they wanted to fit.
I enjoyed it for what it was but it was no grand achievement. The little throwbacks here and there are what makes it so enjoyable for me. If you didn't watch Pokemon when you were young, you probably won't get a kick out of it. My Favorite parts were the battle between Charizard and Incineroar and the moment when Charizard saves Cross and the Explanation was that "charizard hasn't forgotten you were once its Trainer.
This was absolutely my favorite thing. Everything looks so beautiful and updated and it's great to see Kanto this way.
I Loved the parts with Ho-oH and seeing all the rainbows and bright sunlight. If you've been a Pokemon Fan since day one, why not give it a watch? Details Edit. Release date November 5, United States. Japan United States.
