I Watched All 24 Pokémon Movies So Let's Rank Them

Another thing that makes the power of us better; in Japanese, sudowoodo is called usokkie, which means the sound it makes is ‘uso!’ Which basically means ‘that’s not true’, so sudowoodo is following him around immediately calling him out for his lies, which is why he’s usually angry at him.

Fun fact about the twist ending in 4Ever: the Japanese version didn’t spell-out that Sam was a young Prof Oak. The only clue is Tracy finding Sam’s sketchbook during the credits. The dub commissioned some new animations to make the connection clearer for the English-speaking audience (as well as some more scenes of Team Rocket).

I always loved the Darkrai/Giratina/Arceus trilogy. It really went into the worldbuilding and has literal GODS

Personally, The Secret of the Unown holds a high place and a lot of fond feelings for me simply because it came out when my dad passed away and seeing Molly's struggle in the movie resonates with me

Starts video "Oh this'll be fun." Sees Spell of the unknown at 23 "Oh this isn't going to be fun...

I really love pokemon 3. It just, felt like an unironically good movie. Most movies I am like: "Its a good pokemon movie" but pkmn 3 I am like: "It's a good movie" I could write a whole long page about this but tbh... i feel like there are others who can explain my stance better.

so Molly's mom was trapped with the unown too, that's why his father started investigating them in the first place. So when his father was released, so was her mom. I honestly love this movie; COME ON, CHARIZARD COMES BACK.

I thought it was heavily implied in Pokemon 3 that Molly's mom disappeared because of the unknown and that's why her dad was studying them, right? So in a world where time and space can be easily reset, it's not crazy to think Molly's mom was returned when her dad was too. Although I agree it's a weird plot point to include at all.

How is Pokémon 3 the worst? The struggle of Ash trying to get back his mom is relatable, the main villain being a little girl that is being manipulated by the unknown is brilliant

Rise of Darkrai has got to be my favourite. It's so emotional and it tries to prove that just because a Pokemon looks evil doesn't mean it necessarily is. I got it on disc from Woolworths during its closing down sale in the last month before it closed here in the UK and I watched it with my friends when I was in primary school. It's been a while since i've watched it but I've definitely watched it at least three times! There's something about it that is so good that everyone else seems to have missed! Nostalgic at least now!

Power of Us is legitimately one of my favourite movies of all time. It follows the stories of a handful of characters that have no connection to each other wandering around a big city which occasionally share an interaction between one another another that all come together in the end to solve a problem using their assets or skills they were too afraid to show during the story. I mean the movie doesn’t even follow one specific goal or storyline. It’s just some people trying to have a peaceful vacation at a festival and it turns out incredible

I'm so glad Heroes made top 3. It's one of my favorite movies, and all of the Ash and Latios moments are absolutely adorable. The ending crushed me when I first watched it, and the movie was very well paced. (Also, the girl at the end was definitely Latias.)

I still remember the line from Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. James: Diamonds... Pearls Meowth: Let's finish the season first.

Something I didn't notice in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew until recently is that the "immune system" for the Tree of Beginning takes forms of prehistoric and fossil Pokémon, sort of a nod that the Tree of Beginning existed in the prehistoric era of the Pokémon world, since "the beginning".

I can't believe you didn't mention Munchlax in Destiny Deoxys, Munchlax gives me life

Molly finally getting out of her delusion and yell "You can do it Entei" instead of father and Entei still carrying out his fatherly will showing that the unown can't control such emotions even if they created it.

Im a bit younger then most people who have nostalgia for old pokemon movies but i still have alot of nostalgia for 2000. I remember when i watche i was really sick and overall was having a misearable day when suddenly i saw that pokemon the movie was playing and was like “i dont have anythin better to do” ended up loving it besides its flaws and the dutch dub was actually pretty solid suprisingly

Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was always my favorite as a kid. It was why Lucario was and remains my favorite pokemon. I definitely stopped watching after the Gen 4 movies, but these reviews make me want to watch the most recent movies, particularly the Power of Us. Thanks for the movie marathon review!

Lucario and the mystery of mew is definitely the one that brings me nostalgia. I remember as a kid I had gotten into pokemon. While looking at movies I found the pokemon movies and was excited! My parents let me choose a few movies to rent, and although I don't remember all of the ones we rented, Lucario was the one I remembered the most and rewatched so many times!

Since you placed Darkrai and Hoopa back to back, I’m surprised you failed to acknowledge that using Pokemon attacks to stop space disintegration worked before, as it was how the citizens of Alamos Town stalled for time. On that topic, Darkrai will always be my number 1. I found the Dialga/Palkia fight scenes to just be so epic, and it has by far the best sound design and film scoring of any of the movies.The alternate rendition of “We Will Be Heroes” was banger, and I wish they would have done those types of movie-exclusive theme songs more often.
