An expansive library of Pokemon Movies [3+4]

The world of Pokemon is full of fantastic beasts and adorable animals in every shape, size, species and ability known to man! Within this amazing planet is also a plethora of theatrical movies based off the anime based off the video game. Over the years I've noticed a change in these movies which I wish to talk about.

[Released in 2000 and based primarily on the second generation of Pokemon games, Gold and Silver released in 1999]

This one isn't as much philosophical undertoned movie or an adventure movie but a story.

A story about the daughter of an who became orphaned when the archaeologist went missing searching through a ruin to do with the Pokemon. Without a father and a mother (who probably died prior to this movie. Not clearly explained) she comes across a box from the ruin filled with Unown scrabble pieces and through the also not clearly explained powers of the Unown Pokemon, the legendary beast Entei is summoned as an illusion under the wishes of the daughter to have her father back.

Unwanting the moment to end, the Unown continue generating the girls wishes and her home to isolate them.

The main character, Ash's attention is caught when the girl wishes for a mother and Entei, by her order, kidnaps Ash's mother.

The most fairytale style story out of all the Pokemon movies

It's exactly the kind of movie style I would expect from any Pokemon movie. Some thing reflects the Pokemon that could be found in forest like folklore and have mystical abilities. Not to mention the numerous Pokemon that are based off myths and legends already!

It's a good movie but with a story that doesn't hold a large amount of weight on the canon. What I mean is it doesn't seem like a learning experience or a thrill. It's like a Grimm fairytale that's only there to tell of a world and a narrative of wonder with innocent intentions. Like a dream.

[Released in late 2000 and based primarily on the second generation of Pokemon games, Gold and Silver in 1999 as a sequel to 'Pokemon: The first movie', released in 1998 and based primarily on the first generation of Pokemon, Red and Blue released in 1996]

I think this was somewhat of a necessary sequel. The story makes it a possible and sensical existence despite not being able to offer a huge amount.

MewTwo's creator, Giovanni has returned to recapture MewTwo and make sure he obeys him this time. Meanwhile MewTwo is having yet another philosophical dispute about where clones truly belong on this earth.

Ash and the gang are just doing what they usually do in this one which makes it feel more like an extended episode of Pokemon rather than a dedicated Pokemon movie.

I still really enjoyed seeing MewTwo again!
