Ranking the Pokemon Movies From WORST to BEST - Part 2 | What is the BEST Pokemon Movie of ALL TIME?

[@emsomnia6764]

Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai is my favorite Pokemon film of all time, so it made me very happy to see how high up on your list it was! From Darkrai's past to the movie feeling like an actual clash between gods, it just brings me soooo much serotonin. I'm really glad there was no human enemy in that movie. And I can listen to Oracion and Darkrai's theme on repeat for ages.

It’s sad that Brock never got his own movie despite being in 4 generations

[@dannyfernandez7357]

True

Be a different kind of movie if brock had his way

17:45 No, we see Molly unexplicably appearing on the back of Entei and then morphing into an older version of herself, as Entei rushes to take care of Ash and Co. I too was confused as I didn't at first catch on that grown up Molly was just an illusion while the younger real version had been left in the bedroom all along, but it IS in fact shown, and Misty too comments that Professor Hale's daughter is much younger and that the real one must therefore be somewhere else.

[@PikaLink91]

8:30 Call me crazy but with the theme of Ryme City I kinda think of a reverse version of the Excorsist theme.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Brilliant list. I forgotten how much I loved Destiny Deoxys in particular. It was one of the few Pokemon films I still enjoyed as a teenager with the attitude that Pokemon was just for kids. The only changes I would probably have made if it was my list, would be to have Spell of the Unown in the Top 5, same with Destiny Deoxys. That's about it and even the choices I disagree with, you articulate your points very well and I can respect where you're coming from with some of these. Excellent two part videos.

[@wtpproductions7533]

Thanks for the kind words! I was blown away by how much I enjoyed Destiny Deoxys. I had no nostalgia attached to it and Gen 3 is one of my least favourite gens usually, so I was shocked. Honestly, most of the films from 11-5 could switch positions on any given day. I think the quality is pretty even across that range, with 3-1 being the clear standouts in the franchise.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

About Gen 3. Growing up, I loved the Gen 3 anime, but I didn't like the Gen 3 games all that much. I dunno, something about them didn't grab me (I remember liking Colosseum and XD though). In recent years, i do prefer 3 to 1 and 2, but I still have some issues.

Fun fact about Master of Illusions - This movie was promoted with 4 different gamestop wifi events in HeartGold and SoulSilver (back when those were a thing), 3 of which being the shiny Raikou, Entei and Suicune that appear in the film. That's pretty cool on its own, but later on there was a Celebi event. This event unlocked a small mini-sidequest in Ilex Forest that I won't spoil if you haven't seen it, its really cool. HOWEVER - these 4 events triggered even more events in Black and White. Taking the 3 shiny legendary dogs (cats? idk they look more catlike to me) to a certain area will allow you to battle and catch Zoroark. Taking the Celebi to another area in Castelia City gives you a cute lil cutscene where a Zorua in disguise recognizes the Celebi and joins your team. All in all, some of the most well thought out and eventful (heh) series of pokemon events we've ever had.

[@justinarney3050]

8:11 Actually there is a decent amount of evidence that it could Bianca. We got shown on purpose that Bianca left her hat behind when she had been wearing it the entire movie so shes got to have a good reason to take it off right. 2)the girl was visibly tired for a second after running to catch to up to Ash which is something that latias never showed previously while being chased. 3)Lastly the song before the kiss is called Canon(music) which is similar and pronounced the same as Bianca's Japanese name of Kanon(sound of flower) Also for those who say Bianca showed no interest should note that it doesn't take much for girls to fall for Ash especially if he saves them. Case 1 Macy who went from not liking Ash when they first meet to suddenly wanting plan their future together after Ash saves her and her Pokemon.

[@derekbackofen6]

My favorite Pokémon movie is rise of darkrai loved every second of it

[@pastel5665]

I actually was very harsh to Power of Us at first- I thought some the characters, especially the little girl, were annoying and found it difficult to enjoy the film. But looking at it again, I do see why it's so beloved. The character development is great, the pacing isn't nearly as bad as I first thought it was, and I actually find myself empathizing with every character (yes, including the little girl) looking back. Perhaps my issue is with the dub, because I find when English dubs try to do a "kid" voice it's just grating, but my opinions on it have definitely softened. Also, the scene that got me in I Choose You was when the kid with the Lucario (forgot his name) was remembering his Luxray. The flashback where the Luxray sacrificed itself to save him, with a comforting smile on its face as if knowing this was its fate but knew the boy could go on... I couldn't help but cry. It really hit me hard for some reason, harder than the end with Pikachu and Ash. Anyways, this was a great list! You definitely explained your reasoning well and while I disagree with a few picks, I can see where you're coming from with each pick. I know this vid is almost a year old, but I hope you see this and know your content is great and well-written!

Pokémon heroes was my childhood man. It was literally my introduction to the Pokémon series! I just love it so much! It will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@PikaLink91]

9:25 Uhh, no? It doesn't? I mean sure Pokémon looking dirty and horrifying IS a stark contrast to the animated series, but what else would you expect from a movie that tries to bring these creatures into the real world? In the real world these creatures WOULD look like this. I recently showed the trailer to a bunch of 5 year old kindergarten kids, and when they saw the scaly creature that was Charizard they ofcourse remarked that it looked scary. And I'm like no SHIT does live-action Charizard look scary! It's a mofo FIRE DRAGON, of COURSE it would look scary being brought into the real world. Detective Pikachu didn't just want to make cartoony models of the Pokémon and put them in the real world, it wanted to show what they would actually realistically look like. That was what I expected going into the movie, it was what I got, and I wasn't disappointed.

[@nobodysixty96]

37:26 think you are forgetting about lugias song and you placed that movie at number 17

[@thedoctor1325]

Agreed on a few points like Movie 3 being the best of the original 3 and I hope there will be more films like Power of Us, because it was amazing.

[@roi_k]

Whats funny is the only pokemon movie i’ve ever seen which was today was the power of us and now my standards are so high if I watch the others they probably wont be as good

[@UmbralKitten]

I'm pleasantly surprised to see the top 3 are all the same as my own :)

Where were Brock and Misty in I choose you?

[@loginyes3745]

How are the three films i own are mewtwo strikes back, destiny deoxys and jirachi wish maker.

[@Drakonzo]

Definitely some subtle waifu-nerd energy in your overall picks and your constant gushing about certain gens but as someone that stopped watching the films after Deoxys, this was very informative and has helped me gauge my expectations of each film quite a bit.

[@mispinchergamings3470]

Love your pick

[@yolohernadez2991]

I like the giratina film ranking. Shaymin sky form was good but that stupid land form was bad. Zero was meh but I don't think he is terrible. The animation was great tho and I do like some of the small scenes like the train scene.

[@Edgelordess]

The only pokemon films I saw as an adult were Detective Pikachu and Power of Us. (I've seen others but those aren't fresh in my memory bank) I honestly didn't like Power of Us because I felt that it was lacking a central plot and there was just too much going on. I really loved Detective Pikachu though.

[@PikaLink91]

I'm not saying Power of Us is bad, but I lost interest in the plot halfway through, actively paused the movie and didn't pick it back up until weeks later, at which point it felt more like a commitment. The title felt like a reverse spit in the face to Power of One, and the conflict being caused by something as mundane as Team Rocket doing an oopsie and not having an actual real villain, really hurt the movie for me. That, and I hate the new design for Ash, not to mention the fact that the movies (after I Choose You which was a wreck as well) do no longer follow the anime but have their own continuity as well. The movies always followed the anime, it was tradition, like how the games always came in two versions with a third definitive version to follow which Sun and Moon shot in the arse. The movies were an extension of Ash's adventures in the anime, not their own seperate entities. Is nothing sacred anymore?

[@AlfredoPuente8]

Rise of Darkrai town is very Barcelona like.

[@giannidipietro7037]

u missed the temple of the sea

[@dagaming3553]

It was in the first part

[@NANA-kf1cs]

Please avoid mentioing spoilers like Latios dying.

[@PikaLink91]

Uhh, Shaymin is a little arshole in both forms. In land form it is an ungrateful little shit. In skyform it is an arrogant little shit. Both stark contrasts to it being a Pokémon that represents gratitude.

[@xedustie9258]

Heroes was the best in my opinion!

[@RandomComixco.]

yes

[@rokmare]

I actually prefer the older movies to the new ones so my top three would be 1. destiny deoxies 2. Rise of darkrai and 3. Pokemon 2000 they all have ironic moments like Lugia's theme and Oracion and the deoxies vs rayquaza battle is probably the most intense from all the movies IMO.

[@woris1801]

The lucario movie

[@FR3SH180]

power of us and secrets of the jungle are both underrated.

[@TXScherzer23]

The Megarig is GAY from Pokémon Sky Warrior

[@kurvos]

... you put I Choose You above Spell of the Unown? Seriously? I Choose You is BY FAR the worst Pokemon movie I have ever watched. Also, your criticism of Spell of the Unown is just absurd. The girl isn't trying to stop them, the girl is trying to play as a Pokemon trainer. And she is very young and naive, so she probably doesn't think that far.

[@mogensschmidt2498]

1.come on the pokemons in detective pikatju dosent look that bad come on could have been worse 2.yeah sheman was kinda anojing i agree and they turned giratina into a hero at the end i think 3.classic pokemon films should have been highger

Lost me when you said that 3 was better than the first movie.

[@nobodysixty96]

same spell of the unknown higher than mewtwo and the movie 2000?Cmon man He also put Plot armour the movie (keldeo movie) higher than both of them

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Sorry but objectively speaking, 3 is a lot better than 1 and 2. Unlike those two films, it has a legit story about a person. The other two had uninspired narratives and mostly poor usage of good ideas. Pokemon 2000 in particular is essentially if Michael Bay directed a Pokemon film. Did we really need to watch what feels like 5 minutes of three birds going at each other? You can have some action to break up the slower parts, but the direction is clueless in execution.

[@nobodysixty96]

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 while i do agree with you on some points, the main story of the spell of thee unknown feels way too forced for me to enjoy. Like seriously, out of all of the 3 billion moms in pokemon somehow ashes mom gets kidnapped and whatever the fuck happened with unknown ever summoning entei is never explained

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

@@nobodysixty96 'out of all of the 3 billion moms in pokemon somehow ashes mom gets kidnapped' Okay, where were the other 2.999.999 mums in the anime? Also, you're taking a scene out of context. Molly and Entei clearly see Ash and his mum on the laptop screen. 'Papa, I want a mama too' says Molly, and that's all you need. 'and whatever the fuck happened with unknown ever summoning entei is never explained' Oh I don't know. I mean I see Molly putting together the Unown letters spelling 'papa, mama, and me' as well as thinking the words her father said when showing her a book about legendary pokemon 'I'm like Entei huh, well then I am Entei, roar' but no no no, that's NOT enough. Don't give me subtle visual storytelling that I can figure out on my own with little effort, I want Peppa Pig levels of patronising expedition just to make sure I'm following the movie perfectly with no opportunities to think afterwards. Seriously, you're trying way too hard. Like, how is this more 'forced' than the uninspired and ham-fisted 'chosen one' narrative of 2000? You need writing classes desperately.

[@glitterfish2]

@@nobodysixty96 I honestly think that the 3rd movie is one of the LEAST "forced" narratives in a Pokemon movie.
