The reason Hoopa sucked so much is because the executives ruined it. It was supposed to be a comfy movie about Hoopa finding its way in the world and being taught how to fit in by its caretakers, but then some executives came along and they said, "we've got these games called Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire coming out and you can catch all these legendaries in them, so we're going to need you to go ahead and put a Legendary Pokemon kaiju battle in your movie to make kids buy our games." That's why the kaijus just stop the movie dead, they're a plot tumor of the worst kind. The sad part is that the movie they wanted to make would probably have been good, but no, we've got to have money, so we get the worst one instead. Volcanion had so little meddling that it makes me think even the executives realize how badly they destroyed the Hoopa movie with their crap.

For the former, Ash, at least according to the review, _did_ freeze to death, but got revived momentarily afterwards. While Ash _almost_ got erased from existance in the latter case, but didn't fully (he was still moving and conscious when the un-erasing happened). So the difference between him being dead for any length of time and him _not_ being dead for any length of time is the difference between a 5/5 and a 4/5 on the mortality scale regardless of the scope of the danger.

The dragon force is from the dragon vein concept in taoism/onmyou/feng shui. So it's very in theme with how the zekrom and reshiram represented the duality in yin and yang. And in taoism and friends there's this concept of everything being composed of 5 elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. And the elements interact with eachother in two? different ways, one being reinforcing and the other being reactive. So probably what happens is that the ancient battle between the two dragons caused probably 2 of the elements in the dragon force to become overactive and break the balance of the five elements flowing through the dragon force so that they flow in the reactive way, causing destruction to the land. and the castle acts sort of like some kind of massive sword shaped acupuncture needle that acupunctures the pressure point of the land to rebalance it or something. Like the basics of fengshui is to get the 5 elements balanced and flowing properly which causes them to reinforce eachother and be like an infinite good vibes generator or whatever.

The location is beautiful, the soundtrack is godly (the Darkrai theme has me ascend to godhood), the setpieces and scale are otherworldly, the action is epic, the emotion is impeccable. I could write a whole ass essay on why I think this movie is an amazing work of art...I won't but TLDR my favourite of the pokemon movies. And yea 800% of that is nostalgia and bias Giratina and the Sky Warrior -8/10- This featuring my favourite pokemon, Giratina and portraying it as a menace to society, earns it a bonus point. Also the title is awesome. Doesn't possess the same epic scale as the last one but it's rally damn enjoyable. Love how sassy Shaymin is in its base form and that dynamic with Ash, Giratina is awesome and as flat as Zero is, he is a delightfully evil character. Good pacing, good action and surprisingly funny. Love how Team Rocket end up being that guy's right hand man. Yes this is nostalgia again Jewel of Life- 7/10- What if Ash went back in time to meet Yugi Muto to stop god destroying the world. I appreciate how they made this one a trilogy, it does feel a bit off with the way the previous stories tie into this one but it's really cool they bothered at all. The kaiju fights at the beginning are cool but the later ones are relegated to off-screen. Arceus is less of a god and more of an angy space llama. But the twist is fun and the end where god dies and our protagonists get erased from time is really dark. In general I love the dire stakes here. It's fun, if a bit cliche. And I promise this is the last one where nostalgia plays a major role, I'm really attached to this trilogy Master of Illusions- 7/10 - Idk if this is a hot take but I really like a lot of stuff in this movie, as in best of the franchise material. First off, Pokemon Boccer is awesome and I'm upset this is the only place we see it, it looks so damn fun. Second, the villain, I adore him. His concept is so cool, a guy who becomes an unstoppable tycoon through stealing time powers to peer into the future and constantly goes to siphon more like a drug. Love the role his visions play in setting up events in the story and the manner in which he handles Celebi is monstrous. Feels way more horrible than in 4ever, it's great. Finally the relationship between Zoroark and Zorua is really cute and sweet, mumma Z's gotta protect her pups. Outside of that and some fun action and set-pieces with the illusions the rest is pretty okay. But with some tweaking this could be one of the best, defo one of the more looked over movies. Black/White - 10/10 - Speaking of over-looked, I think this one is stupidly underrated. I don't like the BW anime in general and am not the fondest of this generation of movies, so understand when I say this is Spell of the Unown levels of awesome. Like that film it feels like the concept for aa Ghibli film, it's outstanding. What I love most is how it distills BW's themes into something original yet fitting. The legend of the dragons and the princes/heroes, the use of Victini being trapped away, the dragonforce representing nature and harmony and especially the version differences between the movies, which they did not at all have to do but did. Victini's stoy is tragic and I fell so madly in love with the lil' guy. Also Damon is a fantastic protagonist and my hot-take is that he makes a better villain than Ghetsis in gen 5 because he's actually interesting and fits the theme of truth vs ideals far better, but that's just me. All in all, this one i a highly recomended watch for those that haven't Kyurem and the Swords of Justice - 5.5/10 As inoffensive as a pokemon movie can be. There's some decent action and the last fight is awesome but it does feel like this is Keldeo's movie featuring Ash and co, they don't do much that matters too much. And the pacing of this film is a nightmare we move between scenes so very quickly, nothing really has time to breathe and you're not really given time to endear yourself to Keldeo outside of flashbacks. I do like how Kyurem is a ruthless mfer who rolls up and destroys shit because Keldeo didn't surrender, I do like badass legendries tearing up shop. But there isn;t much ti say about this one, it is one of the pokemon movies of all time Genesect and the Legend Awakened - 4/10- I don't remember liking this one but I also generally don't remember it more than the others. I just remember finding it very boring and lacking any defining moments but I think I was on an XY hating phase. Given the review in this video I might want to rewatch it to see if my opinion on it has changed Diance and the Cocoon of Destruction - 6.5/10- A better Kyurem and the Swords of Justice having the same breakneck pace. But the side character designs are so insanely cool and there are nice character interactions, if a bit less memorable. But the highlight for me is Yveltal waking up and basically killing everyone, giant birb shoots giant laser ray is a lot of fun, especially when it took down that weaponised aircraft. And the scene where Diance mega evolves is awesome Hoopa and teh Clash of Ages - 3/10- More like dear Arceus this movie takes ages. The worst pokemon movie for being a slow, boring mess of a film. Okay it's not horrendous but considering how much marketing and hype they put behind this film it's not very good. Hoopa is so annoying repeating the same lines over and over, the characters are hella plain and the kaiju battles are extremely boring with them essentially being a largely drawn out chase sequence where not much happens. Only part I like are the flashbacks, Hoopa's backstory is fun and cool and them being taught to appreciate life is sweet. But to sit through this whole movie for these moments? No thank you. Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel - 7/10 - Just very fun and sweet. I love Volcanion as a character and having him be bound to Ash leads to fun situations, Megearna is adorably sweet and I adore the steampunk aesthetic. Also there's some amazing action, this to Mega Evolution is what Hoopa to legendaries should have been. I do feel there aren't as many stand-out moments that stick out in my mind but it's a pleasant watch.

Zoroark Master of Illusions and the gen 5 anime are the very reason why I am a Pokemon fan today. It also cemented Zorua/Zoruark as my favorite Pokemon of all time. Peak movie.

2:58 I vibe so hard with this. I unironically still call my remote server for hosting apps "Infi" after the character in the Giratina Shaymin movie.

I was so excited for the hoopa movie as a kid, Target demographic, perfect age range for the concept of bringing back all of these legendary pokémon and making them fight, and even I remember being disappointed at that age, when I didn't really dislike very many movies at all because critical thinking hadn't developed yet. Childhood me knew what was up.
