...of a very rare, unique Pokemon was used to clone and improve a whole new Pokemon all together. Unfortunately this is where there is some confusion as to there overall story of the movie, as in the English versions where is a huge chunk of the plot is cut-out, this absent part being an important part as well as strengthening the story, defining some of the key motives behind the characters aggressions and actions which where removed due to the adult-themed ...

Review of Pokemon The First Movie (Animated) (DVD)

...I don’t understand the whole Pokemon thing but I do know a good DVD when see one. My kids have gone for the region 1 'Standard Screen' version and despite the horrible 'Snapper-case' it is a very fine package. With the exception of Stuart Little, children’s DVDs have in the past been neglected in terms of the final transfer to disc and the lack of special features included. The Pokemon DVD has the same relatively basic animation associated with ...
...value of the disc. Indeed, the kids spent the first day going through the extras (with the exception of the commentary) and watched the film on a second sitting. Kids seem to understand Pokemon and this DVD is one of the better Pokemon gifts you could give them. Shaun (Oatmeal) ...

Review of Pokemon The First Movie (Animated) (DVD)

Pokémon the First Movie had a lot of hype when it came out. Mainly because it is based around one of the most popular, if not THE most popular Childrens TV Show and Game Series available at the moment. However, this movie has to be one of the most boring and pointless movies ever made. It has no interesting storyline and is totally unrelated to the games, which i think have amazing gameplay. But I am speaking from the view of a young adult. Many ...
...the characters and love all of the characteristics and idiosyncracies that the 150 (currently, there will be more) Pokémon have. So for kids, it's an excellent movie. It keeps them engaged and they love it. And the DVD is not too bad, a few extra features but nothing too amazing. But for adults, think again. Please. This movie is something that I would recommend to anyone with an age of 12 or under, but certainly no more than that, even if they ...

...defeat the psychic (and misunderstood) Pokemon Mewtwo (a clone of the ancient Pokemon Mew). If you managed to follow that synopsis, you will love the film. If not, still give it a go, it is entertaining, and malevolently dark in some places. The story is one of hope and the belief that differences should be left aside, a powerful story captured for a young audience. The animation is slightly better than the TV series, though you do get the feeling ...
...also how Ash became a Pokemon Master Wannabe. It has DVD ROM features, including virtual trading cards, essays on the Pokemon genre and other stuff. All in all, its a damned good disc, presented in well and the ideal thing to keep your kids entertained. The picture looks good, the audio is exceptional. Oh, and the rendition of the Pokemon theme is one of the best I have ever heard. The guy who sings it just sounds so energetic. ...
