Quand j'étais plus jeune, j'étais un grand fan de pokémon. Ce film ne m'a pas déçu, parce que lorsque j'avais visionné pokémon the first strike, il y avait énormément d'émotions transmises à travers le film. Ce film est à regarder si vous voulez voir un bon film de pokémon et si vous êtes vous même fan de pokémon depuis des années. Bien évidemment la prestation de Ôtani Ikue reste toujours aussi impressionante.

I love this movie. Its Re-telling of the classic first episode of Pokemon is superb and than it builds on it. One scene towards the has become divisive among **** I only saw it as beautiful and Heartwarming. It made my girlfriend and I cry buckets for an hour. I just can't see what the fuss was about. LOVED IT !!! 10/10

I was incredibly disappointed by this movie and I wasn't expecting much to begin with. Unless you're 5 years old I can't imagine you would enjoy this movie. Being someone who has grown up with Pokemon, I did not find much to like here if anything. For a good portion of the movie I was struggling to figure out what the point was as we jumped from scene to scene seemingly at random. It doesn't seem like they knew what they wanted this movie to be, and it shows, as they try to cram in a reboot of Ash's journey, new Pokemon that didn't exist back in the day, some ineffective drama, and a surprisingly little amount of nostalgia. In some instances the change of scenes are down right jarring. The movie is simply trying to do too much and it truly suffers for it. I will give credit to the animators as they've done a beautiful job, but, I did not like the muted colour palette they used for Ash's clothing. Originally his hat was a very bright red, but, now it is practically maroon. I also can't stand the new symbol on Ash's hat. Why did they even need to change it? This may sound trivial, but, this is the main character we're talking about so I had to look at this ugly redesign in almost every frame of the movie. To sum up, this is a children's movie and there's nothing wrong with that, but, when your fans have had 20 years to grow up and since this movie is a celebration of the anime's beginning, maybe it should be enjoyable to those of us who actually watched those episodes. Kids these days will not be able to appreciate this the same way a long time fan such as myself would and now we cannot even do this.

If you want nostalgia, you'd be much better off rewatching the original series.
The story is choppy, jumping from random event to random event, and by the end I'm still not sure what the goal is. Dialog is cringy throughout. There are characters and Pokémon who get screen time but have no role in developing the plot, as if the writers got sidetracked or forgot to tie it all together.
Worst of all, they broke several rules no Pokémon fan would ever want broken. Watch it and you'll see what I mean - or don't. Actually, really don't. You're not missing out.
