Thought I'd make a thread about the Pokemon movies, since I was just discussing some of them with friends.
So how many of you guys are old enough to remember ACTUALLY going to the cinema to watch the first Pokemon movie?
I was just talking with my friend about how I went there with my parents and brothers back in 1999/2000 or so. My parents had to basically sit there and watch the movie with us bored out of their minds while we were all enjoying the hell out of it. My mum still asks me to this day if the girl with psyduck is the show anymore, and funnily enough next time she asks I can tell her "yeah, she came back in the newest season".
I still find it quite funny that critics panned the films for literally being a children's film. Saying "it's bad because if you're an adult you're going to hate it" and gave it low 10% scores, even though it was a box office hit.
I'd say my favourite Pokémon movie was the Deoxys one just because it had some really interesting characters and the situation where the city was on lockdown and Pokéballs stopped working and they were in literal survival mode, having to sneak around to get food and such. Plus that kid who was afraid of Pokémon was actually a unique character in that universe which made the film even more interesting since you were always wondering if he'd turn his opinion on Pokémon around.
The last Pokémon film I watched was the Zoroark one when it came out in 2010 or so. I'm around 7 movies behind at this point. I was considered rewatching them all since I haven't seen them in years. How about you guys, what films did you enjoy and watched?
