what was so bad about it?
never saw.
It was just boring, the Pokemon and characters were not memorable.
It's not even a terrible movie by Ashnime movie standards, as it's definitely not worse than the Gen 5 or Gen 6 movies. I wouldn't even put in on the top 5 worst. So the impact of Covid must have had it tank very hard.
its literally just tarzan
they already did unga bunga kid raised by pokemon in season 1
It wasn’t any worse than the last few.
It didn’t get a theatrical release since it was set to come out during the middle of 2020 and got cucked by the COVID 19 pandemic.
They put it directly to Netflix instead without any DVD home release or television airings with no marketing whatsoever and unsurprisingly nobody watched it.
The movie itself is a ripoff of Avatar with a little bit of Tarzan thrown in but the father/son dynamic was pretty good.
I’m not kidding, the entire climax is the militarized scientists blowing up a giant sacred home tree for its expensive resources and the main human kid getting disowned for “not being one of us” by the Zarude. It’s lazy as frick
It did get a theatrical release, just half a year after its originally scheduled one.
Unless you mean in burgerstan, but 99% of theatrical anime movies never get theatrical releases there, including most Pokemon movies, so who cares.
>and the main human kid getting disowned for “not being one of us” by the Zarude.
The crazy thing is that they had the balls to depict Koko using Jungle Healing, after multiple statements that "humans can't use Pokemon moves" and we'll NEVER get to figure out what the frick was up with that.
Don't worry anon. TrAshnime will never be canon
It’s ash slop that has no bearing on anything and yet people think these movies matter at all
It was derivative and not for everyone. Imagine Tarzan, but with Pokemon, and Ash takes the role of Jane.
I can see why people wouldn't like it but I liked it cause Tarzan was my favourite movie as a kid.
nope
COVID halted the films
Ash's death killed them
I'd rather they make more nostalgiagay movies
Like the zeraora movie that mostly had old pokemon
genuinely fricked me up when Dada said he can't be Al's father because he's never had parents himself
Ash is also a boring character to watch
bump
They should've just started making movies about the games, starring the game protagonists and other side characters from there.
They had the chance with Ash out of the frame, but still didn't do it.
It's so funny how they keep pretending they don't know what fans want, when all the games-inspired shorts they release on YouTube do great in engagement.
Doraemon make great movies. Detective Conan have absolutely schizophrenic fanbase. Pokemon movies stopped being good since israeliteel of Life. Simple facts.
>Pokemon movies stopped being good since israeliteel of Life
But Power of us is the best Pokemon movie.
It is? Well no one cares because a long string of bad movies will cause people to overlook a single good movie in between them anyway.
It has actuall narration and Ash is used as voice of the reason not asa hero. Which is best for ash.
Ash? Voice of reason? lmao we are talking about Ash Ketchum right?
Yes Ash works as experienced trainer. This movie shows that.
I thought it was boring. Definitely the best animated though
>Doraemon make great movies
Sure, if you are 5 years old.
>Jewel of Life
what the hell is that?
Arceus
The Keldeo Kyurem movie is way better.
NTA but I just find it funny how Kyurem is portrayed in that movie vs the games.
>I am a mere empty shell, my only reprieve is forcibly absorbing my other halves to temporarily gain my former power
>OI, MLP c**t. FINISH THE SPAR YOU STARTED YOU c**t *transforms at will*
>Jewel of Life
vs the whiny horse
>>>good

It wasn't bad. Zarude was great, it had touching moments and great songs.
I really hope we will see Coco sometime. It was a promising character.
The I Choose You movie was decent though.
ICY was probably the most disappointing. A reboot of the original anime with a higher animation budget is something a lot of us wanted. Instead it was just a lazy greatest hits of Kanto without much of stuff that made the first series memorable.
It was a good movie. It was Covid that killed them, not your dumb bait.
It's kind of mind boggling that the second movie is the only one where Team Rocket feels like an active part of the story and isn't just there for comedic relief or one single scene where they kinda do something of relevance.
If Koko was a girl I bet she would have made better money
>Reduces Ash's role to a damsel in distress
>Buff jungle e-girl with zero human interaction
>Create small moments with good chemistry between them
>Give it a bittersweet/ambiguous ending
>Let people make their own mental conclusions
Honestly this would have worked
This is genuinely my favorite Pokemon movie and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
Sure, if you were an orphan or raised by ape-like parents
So third world gays like me?
I watched it for the first time like a month ago and I liked it quite a bit myself.
I need to see it. I liked the AU movie, I think Power pf Us is one of all time favorite Pokemon movies.
*one my my all time favorites
Honestly, the rebooted movies were pretty good. I liked them more than most of the old canon ones.
>What if we combined Tarzan with Jungle Book
>Unlike Tarzan(Kerchak/Kala) and Mowgli(Baloo/Raksha) who has both Fatherly and Motherly Figures instead just make all of the Monkeys boys
>Give the boy girly pigtails and give him a girly name
>Ash has gay romance with pigtail jungle boy
No wonder it flopped...
You guys are gays.
>Tarzan with The Jungle Book
Throw in some James Cameron’s Avatar in there. The “life-giving water” the evil humans want is just unobtainium
The kid should have been a girl
I remember the Zoroark movie being brutal as frick.
The only part that was sort of brutal was the flashback of Snubbul getting consumed by fire.
zoroark getting electrocuted repeatably is really intense by standards of these movies yeah
she fricking dies from it even
>fricking dies, super edgy
She’s alive by the end? There’s a scene of Zorua getting decked and that’s the most violent scene you can think of?
you're an idiot
Demon Slayer Fricked Ash and shitty movies right in the ass, so bad they said frick it kek
