gotten a lot of comments abt it so I thought I'd explain it here: i didn't miss any pokemon movies. mewtwo returns, legend of thunder, etc. are TV anime specials that were repackaged as "movies" outside of Japan. so while they might be called movies, they aren't on the list of ACTUAL pokemon films. they're just TV specials. youve been lied to your whole life. wake up. hope this clears things up!
The idea that post time travel Oak eventually finds a pikachu being an absolute menace near the lab, and jams it in a box for a few days hoping ash is gonna take it off his hands is great. "It's got to be this one, right? I'm doing the right thing, right? STOP BITING ME YOU LITTLE SH"
The Jirachi movie should have been scored higher solely off of when May told Jirachi to "get rid of the problem" and it just teleported her. PEAK FICTION

It was funny until Temple Of The Sea actually did that to her because they wanted more Ash screentime. As you can tell...I haven't fully gotten over it unless a fan edit exists that has May saving the day instead.

One line. There is one line in the entire movie series that i can remember with my heart and soul. "THIS GARDEN IS EVERYONE'S!" Darkrai literally jumped inbetween two elder gods whose conflict was breaking reality itself, and singlehandedly stopped them, if only for a moment. All because a little girl who liked flowers helped him out one time ages ago.
I spent the entire video going, "Man I am so hyped for someone to finally talk about my my favorite Pokémon movie." That movie is Hoopa and the clash of ages so uhhhh.
Hoopa and the clash of ages shouldn't be watched as a movie, because frankly its not much of one. However, if you watch it with the mindset it's a 70 minute fan service, then it's really fun.
Fair point, the Alola games don't get much representation these days, kinda hope Koko from Secrets of the jungle shows up again at some point, he was cool.
You *could* compile the Necrozma four-parter from Sun & Moon into a movie-length affair, but: 1) it'll be 25% an literal snoozefest on account of all the lethargic energy-drained adults in the first quarter, 2) Ash doesn't really encounter any real mortal danger in those episodes, 3) overlapping exposition scenes The hypothetical ranking for Necrozma if it was rated as a movie would be on the lower end tbh.
The movies could have issues balancing two or three companions (the manga adaptation of Volcanion and Mechanical Marvel doesn’t have any of the three companions and there’s minimal change to the story), trying to do justice to five of Ash’s peers plus Kukui would require giving focus to Ash or two others for three movies.
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is my personal favorite, so I was hyped to see you enjoyed it a lot too! This video was such a treat in general and the loads of effort you put into it did not go unnoticed. If you're up for it I'd love to see you review the mini series too!
"All 24 Movies" looks at Mewtwo Returns forgotten in a corner... Seriously though, mad props for doing this. I really enjoyed watching all your videos.
"There is one trope that I love more than anything in this world: You take two extremely powerful creatures or entities, put them in a big city and let them go at it." I need this guy to watch a Kaiju movie IMMEDIATELY
"They played Darkrai´s favorite Mix Tape and it saved the Day." Why is this so accurate??? My pesonal favorites were the ones i owned as a Child on DVD: Lugia, Latias and the Deoxys Movie. Pure Nostalgia^^ (Movie 3 is basicly Silent Hill for Kids and therefore the Best.)
Team rocket canonically have broken the 4th wall many times. There's even an entire episode of the gen 8 anime where they take the narrator's job, and talk to him, and that episode is fairly plot relevant for the rest of gen 8 so you can't say it's somehow not cannon or something even though it is total filler
16:23 I can’t believe you didn’t mention the heart ripping scene of ash trying to wake up the dead celebi by putting the berries it loved in its open mouth while begging it to wake up
Yeah that broke me. Even as an adult I was surprised they were willing to go that raw and real with a kid's movie, like damn. Anytime a character is in such denial over the death of someone they care about even when they're looking right at them and just start delusionally pretending they aren't dead is absolutely heartwrenching.
> Arceus > Supposed "creator of the pokemon world" > gets defeated by a few hundreds mons > almost dies from a meteor Jewel of Life was a new low for the movies
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 The voice was completely unfitting. Nothing divine about it, he almost sounded like some bitter alcoholic and yeah, there was not acknowledgment about the significance of meeting "the creator" by anyone.
The best explanation for why Jirachi features so much May singing is because May’s Japanese VA is/was a singer. Veronica Taylor…….. is not. (The original Japanese song from the movie is very nice too, one of my favorites from the franchise.)
In terms of the general aesthetic.... it's my favourite of them all. It's a beautiful place to be. Make the next Legends game where that film is set please Game Freak.
@@michaelredford5389 pokemon legends: distortion or giratina sounds cool but i doubt them going back to gen4 since the first legends was gen 4 already and this hypothetical game would be the third legends game
@@DrRachi1 true. The anime makes up lots of cool destinations that are technically in the regions without being in the games which is nice. The S/V dlc did something similar but I don't like how they implemented it. That city from Power of Us, for example.
Probably the movie that got me really attached to Regigigas so 10/10, the bit where it wakes up and decides to pull up with a herd of mamoswine to stop a speeding sheet of ice the size of large icebergs with the full length of who knows how long that river is.
“If I learned anything from this movie, it’s that inside you there are two dragons, one is gay and the other one is gay and that’s just beautiful” I absolutely love this quote! 😂
The Victini and I Choose You mean so much to me because I remember hyping myself up to watch them in the theaters. I mean, yeah, I watched the first 4 movies in theaters, too, but I don't remember that. Detective Pikachu is also close to me because, during the fighting scene with Ryanchu and Charizard, the cheering that is heard...I was a part of that. They recorded the cheering at the Worlds 2018 in Nashville. And I just so happen to have gone to that Worlds. It was great.
The main reason why Raikou, Entei and Suicune are shiny in Zoroark: Master of Illusions is because they were meant to be the real trio to differentiate themselves from Zoroark's transformation of the trio, also because they are known as the protectors of Crown City in that movie what I like about the Victini and Zekrom/Reshiram films is that while they are the same movie, the only differences here are the titular box legendaries having their roles swapped, the Golurk and Hydreigon are also shiny tho, only one of them is in either film Oracion is one of the most beautiful songs in the Rise of Darkrai, props to Shinji Miyazaki for all of the incredible background music
Gingy Dave is also a small RUclipsr who likes spell of the unown he is currently ranking every movie one at a time at the pace of 1 movie per month he gave entei its own tier and he is currently on Pokémon movie 4ever/ the celebi movie
I'm so glad someone finally appreciates the peak that is The Power of Us (I'm extremely biased for anything Zeraora related, so that's a big part of it for me but whatever it's good)
I am incredibly nostalgic over the Manaphy, Lucario, Giratina and Darkrai Movie, i remember how i watched them a lot every time i was bored as a kid. Even now that i watched every single movie, those three are high in the list of my favorite movie, specially Darkrai and Lucario! Special mention about the Jirachi movie, i got it in a DVD box with Deoxys and another pokemon movie that i don't quite remember, it make me obsess over Jirachi for a few years and the Fake Groudon traumatized me like crazy, who got the idea to create this things? they need a raise :')
22:21 "Rayquaza learns to stop being racist." 😂 For real, this Movie litteraly only happens because Ray has zero chill. Like, Deoxys came here by accident and would've returned right away if it wasn't for Ray.
41:16 funniest part, this is probably the only piece of media where Mewtwo is relatively happy, cant belive all she needed was to transition lmao congrats for her
The first Pokémon movie i ever watched was latias and latios. I watched at a friend's house on one of those gigantic TVs, we basically ate junk food and soda and just watched that movie. We also watched the 1st Pokémon as well, we were kinda on a Pokémon marathon, and we're even watching old episodes. Sadly, I'm no longer close to that friend, but I do say hi to him whenever I see him around town
I think "I choose You" was the closest any pokemon movie ever got to dethroning "Spell of the Unown" in my book. A lot of people at the time complained about Pikachu talking in English but I always saw it as the first time Ash truly understood what Pikachu was saying instead of actually speaking the same language.
I agreed with a lot of these takes, just a couple things I took issue with however: 1. The Regis make funny noises when attacking so the battles are 5/5, making the Lucario movie 21/20 2. Zekrom >>>>> Reshiram (this is a joke as I love Resh too, but Zek is better)
There is Pokemon the Movie Black Victini and Reshiram, and there is another version Pokemon the Movie White Victini and Zekrom. They're both the same movie, but there are several differences between them.
It was really fun remembering all the movies as you reviewed them and it finally got me to watch Secrets of the Jungle which I put off for no reason at all and man it was so good. I cried like a baby
I will always have a soft spot for Pokemon Ranger And The Temple Of The Sea. I'm a huge fan of tha ranger spinoffs so any time I see them in movies or anime I get so excited. I've always been much more fascinated with the bonds rangers make with pokemon. That and watching the movie reminds me of when I played shadows of almia. I just can't get over how happy it makes me to have a pokemon ranger movie, to show people how cool rangers could be. (I would really love for pokemon to acknowledge the rangers again, any piece of media involving the rangers is so precious and nostalgic to me.) Zoroark Master Of Illusions is another top fav due to everything with Zorua (I love zoruas) I haven't really watched many of the movies but others I have I also like are Pokemon Heroes and Pokemon Destiny Deoyxs.
i remember thinking that the big plant mech suit thing from the celebi movie looked absolutely awesome as a kid. Watching this, I am shocked at how bad the CGI actually was.
im in shock that im not the only one that loved secrets of the jungle, i love the message at the end and its thx to this movie that zarude its my favorite pokemon of all time
He is not overstating how weird super sayan ash was. I enjoyed the whole movie, then got to that point and had to stop and just stew in how baffled I was that they would do this and the implications that ash is just simply this ultra powerful being for no reason, and they never mentioned a point when it stops so presumably he's just got that power in his back pocket for the entire rest of the time he's protagonist
@@xRaiofSunshineI like the Jewel of Life movie because it has Arceus saying "PREPARE FOR JUSTICE", which is now my favorite quote from the Pokemon series. Also, why do people hate Arceus's voice? Personally, I find the voice to be quite enjoyably funny and menacing. Whenever Arceus is enraged, I was a bit unsettled by his voice because of how angry he sounded. In my personal opinion, Arceus truly carried this movie, imo. I'll say it with my chest: Arceus and the Jewel of Life is GOATED.
Watched all of it, subbed immediately. Peak funny, good review on most of the films, and honestly it was refreshing to hear “just enjoy it if you enjoy it” as the main takeaway. I haven’t watched any of these in years, but I remember the Celebi movie more fondly than it probably deserved haha.
Listening to the opening bars of the original pokemon intro on repeat without it ever resolving is a war crime, for which you must serve two hours community service.
An important part of Zoroark: Master of Illusion that you missed is that Kodai has the ability to see the future because he looked into a time rift, but it’s diminished over time so he wants to capture Celebi to make it reopen the time rift so he can restore his future vision
> "this villain who collects all 3 legendary birds to summon Lugia to capture it" But isn't it what we do as playeable character when play the game? So we are actually a villain in game? 😄
It’s interesting that for a movie set in Kanto and showcasing a Gen 4 Pokémon (I was before the whole legendary/mythical split so I call them legendary regardless), Temple of the Sea would have worked fantastically in Hoenn because the plot is at least half the run time in or around water and Hoenn is half water. Between Jack Walker and the People of the Water there could have been a really good spin-off where the former gets to interact more with the latter. The People of the Water just feel so well suited to Hoenn anyway, and could have tied into some Kyogre lore.
While hitting the like button for this awesome review, I gotta say: As someone who's been listening to Alf's video game music playlists several dozen times a week to get through my work grind, hearing you use his banger dj mix in the background triggered an extra bit of enjoyment out of me with this
This was such a wonderful video, and a rollercoaster, you've had me laughing, complaining about your Jirachi wishmaker score (as a joke) and crying. A LOT of crying. Oh and vibing too! Truly a wonderful video, I've enjoyed it so so much!
Pokémon 4Ever was actually a movie that surprised me a year ago when I saw it last, cuz when Ash was trying to feed Celebi berries when it was dying, and so it wouldn't eat...damn, man, I just starting weeping. I just felt so upset that Celebi was dying; this movie somehow managed to reach my cold, black heart.
Hoopa's movie was one of my favorites and made me really like it as a pokémon so I took your advice and skipped that section, I don't think I could have handled it LOL. But other than that- Really entertaining video! I'll definitely be looking out for a video on the miniseries if you end up doing it.
Bro LOVES Jungle Book 💀 Nah jk, good video. The Hoopa movie is also actually a perfect movie because Regigigas goes "hedaheda heyhuw ahahahahahhahaha" and that soundclip plays randomly in my brain at least 3 times a week.
9:41 charizard pulled the same move piccolo does in all the DBZ movies to save gohan, man i loved this scene! I wish charizard had more badass moments like this in the Anime
This man understands darkrai take his word as gospel 😂 really solid video personally my favorite movie is the one with Lucario and Mew but I have fond memories of all the older ones even 4ever
OTHER PEOPLE LIKE SECRETS OF THE JUNGLE AND IM NOT FUCKING CRAZY???? THANK FUCKING GOD Also not a movie but shout outs to the special during Ash's final episodes. Legit one of the many time this series made me cry lmao
You did an amazing job with this video, thanks for the trip down Pokémon lane ❤ thanks for your hard work on this video!!! Really good watch keep up the good work ✌️

We also watched the 1st Pokémon as well, we were kinda on a Pokémon marathon, and we're even watching old episodes. Sadly, I'm no longer close to that friend, but I do say hi to him whenever I see him around town
I think "I choose You" was the closest any pokemon movie ever got to dethroning "Spell of the Unown" in my book.
A lot of people at the time complained about Pikachu talking in English but I always saw it as the first time Ash truly understood what Pikachu was saying instead of actually speaking the same language.
that being Said "Detective Pikachu" is also a solid contender for "Pokemon Movies that could have Dethroned Spell of the Unown"
Spell of the Unown is, by far, my favorite Pokémon movie. Peak cinema. Magnificent. 10/10
I hope Gen 11 takes us to PokéVenice so we can jet ski down the canals
I agreed with a lot of these takes, just a couple things I took issue with however:
1. The Regis make funny noises when attacking so the battles are 5/5, making the Lucario movie 21/20
2. Zekrom >>>>> Reshiram (this is a joke as I love Resh too, but Zek is better)
There is Pokemon the Movie Black Victini and Reshiram, and there is another version Pokemon the Movie White Victini and Zekrom. They're both the same movie, but there are several differences between them.
How did Rise of Darkrai not get a bonus point for the theme song? It's peak
It was really fun remembering all the movies as you reviewed them and it finally got me to watch Secrets of the Jungle which I put off for no reason at all and man it was so good. I cried like a baby
Genesect and Mewtwo was one of my favorite pkmn movies, apart from Giratina's. I would rewatch it so much x,)
I will always have a soft spot for Pokemon Ranger And The Temple Of The Sea. I'm a huge fan of tha ranger spinoffs so any time I see them in movies or anime I get so excited. I've always been much more fascinated with the bonds rangers make with pokemon. That and watching the movie reminds me of when I played shadows of almia. I just can't get over how happy it makes me to have a pokemon ranger movie, to show people how cool rangers could be. (I would really love for pokemon to acknowledge the rangers again, any piece of media involving the rangers is so precious and nostalgic to me.)
Zoroark Master Of Illusions is another top fav due to everything with Zorua (I love zoruas)
I haven't really watched many of the movies but others I have I also like are Pokemon Heroes and Pokemon Destiny Deoyxs.
As someone who grew up watching the anime and now has a Gecko named Treecko, I somehow haven’t seen all the movies. I need to fix that.
Dudee I always lose it that they buried Arceus in literal CONCRETE in Jewel of Life LIKE HELLO?? oh my GOD
But I love your ending message :D
26:53 im also surprised you didnt mention how adorable manaphy is and how it says "baby" its so cute
“Mewtwo is a woman now - congratulations”
IKTR
i remember thinking that the big plant mech suit thing from the celebi movie looked absolutely awesome as a kid. Watching this, I am shocked at how bad the CGI actually was.
im in shock that im not the only one that loved secrets of the jungle, i love the message at the end and its thx to this movie that zarude its my favorite pokemon of all time
I read the tiltle as "Pokemon Move" not "Movie" and expected you to watch battle animations for an hour
i will defend hoopa and the legendary battles till the day i die (im full of nostalgic bias).
SHINY MEGA RAY MAKES IT PEAK!
The thought of anyone having nostalgia for Hoopa sent me into a state of shock, I'm sorry
@MxPokirby Same The XY movies were lowkey bad 😭
I have watched all of these, but the last one was so long ago. I remember most of them being bangers
He is not overstating how weird super sayan ash was. I enjoyed the whole movie, then got to that point and had to stop and just stew in how baffled I was that they would do this and the implications that ash is just simply this ultra powerful being for no reason, and they never mentioned a point when it stops so presumably he's just got that power in his back pocket for the entire rest of the time he's protagonist
41:49 bro I shipped Genesect and Mewtwo from this movie so hard
I looooooved Heroes, Jirachi, Lucario, and Deoxys as a kid, they’re soo much fun 😊
DARKRAI TOO OMG
The Manaphy movie made me soooo hecking thirsty as a kid too 😮
@@xRaiofSunshineI like the Jewel of Life movie because it has Arceus saying "PREPARE FOR JUSTICE", which is now my favorite quote from the Pokemon series. Also, why do people hate Arceus's voice? Personally, I find the voice to be quite enjoyably funny and menacing. Whenever Arceus is enraged, I was a bit unsettled by his voice because of how angry he sounded. In my personal opinion, Arceus truly carried this movie, imo. I'll say it with my chest: Arceus and the Jewel of Life is GOATED.
You're channel is a hidden gem man keep the vids coming
25:00 how could you not mention that lucario and the mystery of mew reveals that ash has psychic aura guardian powers
Gosh that butterfree scene in I choose you actually makes me tear up every time😭
Watched all of it, subbed immediately.
Peak funny, good review on most of the films, and honestly it was refreshing to hear “just enjoy it if you enjoy it” as the main takeaway.
I haven’t watched any of these in years, but I remember the Celebi movie more fondly than it probably deserved haha.
Listening to the opening bars of the original pokemon intro on repeat without it ever resolving is a war crime, for which you must serve two hours community service.
pokemon heroes is my favorite, its what made Latias become one of my favorite pokemon. the soundtrack for that movie is amazing too
An important part of Zoroark: Master of Illusion that you missed is that Kodai has the ability to see the future because he looked into a time rift, but it’s diminished over time so he wants to capture Celebi to make it reopen the time rift so he can restore his future vision
> "this villain who collects all 3 legendary birds to summon Lugia to capture it"
But isn't it what we do as playeable character when play the game?
So we are actually a villain in game? 😄
Gen V: "Yes....?"
It’s interesting that for a movie set in Kanto and showcasing a Gen 4 Pokémon (I was before the whole legendary/mythical split so I call them legendary regardless), Temple of the Sea would have worked fantastically in Hoenn because the plot is at least half the run time in or around water and Hoenn is half water. Between Jack Walker and the People of the Water there could have been a really good spin-off where the former gets to interact more with the latter. The People of the Water just feel so well suited to Hoenn anyway, and could have tied into some Kyogre lore.
I do like in Destiny Deoxys that despite his fear of Pokemon, Tory still helped Minun when it was stuck in the trash can.
While hitting the like button for this awesome review, I gotta say: As someone who's been listening to Alf's video game music playlists several dozen times a week to get through my work grind, hearing you use his banger dj mix in the background triggered an extra bit of enjoyment out of me with this
This was such a wonderful video, and a rollercoaster, you've had me laughing, complaining about your Jirachi wishmaker score (as a joke) and crying. A LOT of crying. Oh and vibing too! Truly a wonderful video, I've enjoyed it so so much!
Your comment is so positive and boring. You proved how bad his content is.
@@mihaimercenarul7467 if you think his content is boring, you don't have to watch it, hope this helps ❤
Pokémon 4Ever was actually a movie that surprised me a year ago when I saw it last, cuz when Ash was trying to feed Celebi berries when it was dying, and so it wouldn't eat...damn, man, I just starting weeping. I just felt so upset that Celebi was dying; this movie somehow managed to reach my cold, black heart.
9:38 you think ash is saved, but as with all superman catch falling people, ash is dead from the sudden deceleration. him surviving is an illusion.
I was just rewatching the Ted barbie video the other day, guess it's time to rewatch this too 😂
Hell yeah, I can't wait to see what you say about my favorite one, Pokemon: The Movie 2000!
...oh...
2:10 "Im glad you can find enjoyment in things that I can’t.” Wow, words to live by
Hoopa's movie was one of my favorites and made me really like it as a pokémon so I took your advice and skipped that section, I don't think I could have handled it LOL. But other than that- Really entertaining video! I'll definitely be looking out for a video on the miniseries if you end up doing it.
I watched this whole thing... and what i learned is I'M NEVER WATCHING THE POWER OF US OMG??? WHY WAS I CRYING JUST FROM YOUR EXPLANATION LMAOO
"Breaking and Entering can go into your permanent record"
Ain't that the core gameplay of Pokémon?
One thing that i love about the Gen 4 movies is that they are all connected and Canon, since Ash remembers meeting Arceus in Journeys.
imagine just going with your day, and suddenly an entei kidnaps your mom
The Sinnoh trilogy has always been and will be my favorite three Pokemon movies
Also thank you for pronouncing Arceus correctly 😀
Aww this was a ton of fun to watch! Looking forward to seeing more from you :)
Bro LOVES Jungle Book 💀
Nah jk, good video. The Hoopa movie is also actually a perfect movie because Regigigas goes "hedaheda heyhuw ahahahahahhahaha" and that soundclip plays randomly in my brain at least 3 times a week.
9:41 charizard pulled the same move piccolo does in all the DBZ movies to save gohan, man i loved this scene! I wish charizard had more badass moments like this in the Anime
This man understands darkrai take his word as gospel 😂 really solid video personally my favorite movie is the one with Lucario and Mew but I have fond memories of all the older ones even 4ever
I like this guy, he has a chill vibe. Subscribed
Meowth breaking the fourth wall is just hilarious
OTHER PEOPLE LIKE SECRETS OF THE JUNGLE AND IM NOT FUCKING CRAZY???? THANK FUCKING GOD
Also not a movie but shout outs to the special during Ash's final episodes. Legit one of the many time this series made me cry lmao
I LOVE THE JUNJLE !!!!!
You did an amazing job with this video, thanks for the trip down Pokémon lane ❤ thanks for your hard work on this video!!! Really good watch keep up the good work ✌️
The bad guy has a R on his chest he works for team Rocket so team Rocket made the Dark pokeballs
Imo, Power of Us is the best Pokémon movie.
Also hoping for some movies with Liko, Roy, and Dot
I had no idea I had watched so many pokemon movies, core memory unlocked
