- Many Pokemon fans will tell you that the first three movies are among the best the series has ever put out, but did you ever wonder as to why that may be?
Well, it's mainly due to a writer known as Takeshi Shudo, and the stories behind these films may just have you looking at Pokemon in a completely different way.

The real hero was not Ash. It was Takeshi Shudo.
Maaaaan. I'm 22. I still have the old pokemon movies on VHS. It's been years since I watched them, but I remember the characters and the stories clearly. They really hit home for me because they aren't just about a boy trying to become the best pokemon trainer or catch a legendary pokemon. These movies taught me to care about people around me. I was really young, but I felt so much emotion. Especially the 3rd movie because my mom is the closest person to me in my family.
Watching this video really made me sad. Because I remember how much Pokemon used to mean to me when the original creator was still producing the films. I knew there was something about the films after that that didn't keep me as engaged as the old ones. I was older, but it didn't have that emotional impact on me the first 3 did.
Thank you for this video mate.
Oh man... The more I learn about Shudo, the sadder I become about what turn the anime and films have taken..
agreed, the new anime is straight up lazy, and uninspired.
*****
I dunno, from what I've seen from the XY series it's actualy gotten worse than Black and White.
+Ignatius Idio well, I watched the first 10 episodes, and I got bored really quickly. I'm sorry, I really am, but it's so slow to tell it's story, compared to other anime that tell a complete story in only 25 episodes.
*****
The reason I find it worse is because as the seasons count away Ash slowly drifts away from any shred of likeablity. An example of this is the episode where they meet Valerie. I was cringing all throughout the episode where I could watch Black and White and at least be mildly entertained.
I gotta mention that at this point I haven't really liked Ash as a character since Hoenn or so. The writers have assassinated his character and made him soulless and unlikeable. There is no passion left in the writers of the anime and it shows.
@smb85 dkc94 Well, the original Japanese version of Mewtwo Strikes Back offers a glimpse of what Shudo's vision for the Pokemon series always was and what should have been. Something a little more dark, mature, less lighthearted comedy and more heavy themes, but handled with class and sophistication. The Japanese version of Mewtwo Strikes Back, I feel, is the closest we're ever going to get to what Shudo originally envisioned for the series. Because even after Mewtwo Strikes Back, Shudo was forced to make comprimise after comprimise, not only for the series, but for the movies, to where he eventually left after the third movie and sometime in the middle of the Johto storyline. (And you can tell, because the Johto storyline just eventually. . .plummeted and fell off a cliff at some point when Shudo and several other original writers left the series.)
Oh, thank god. I'm not the only one that hated that post-credits scene. Fucking thing undermined the whole point of Molly's character arc.
A local newspaper reviewed the 2nd film as 2/5 stars and the summary "A buncha Pokémon in bad weather". Sure compare it to one of the greatest Disney films and of course there's lack of meaning especially when you haven't followed the show as the adults reviewing it probably hadn't. Still I remember thinking "Woah, it wasn't that bad wtf".
Just saying the "recent" movie that Pokemon released was pretty much just awful... The Hoopa Movie where it showed mostly fighting/running away/exploring caves... Thats it... No like 20% emotional scenes... I feel no connection to Hoopa at the end and didn't care at all what happened because of that...
The first couple of movies before they moved on from Sinnoh was good... Such as the Darkrai movie where it showed that "you can't judge a book by its cover" type. That movie showed a lot of emotional scenes where you feel pity or such. I feel like the Pokemon movies in the past was really good.
( Also I think my comment is really dumb :/ )
It probably had to much water
Watching this and reflecting on Shudo's passing kind of makes me feel a little upset over what he originally envisioned as opposed to what eventually came to be.
I do recall Shudo's original view for the Pokemon anime would have ended with Ash/Satoshi realizing his dream to be a Pokemon master would have been little more than a pipe dream, and the Pokemon eventually rebelling against their trainers in a final climatic all-out battle.
I really would have liked to have seen Shudo's original view been brought to fruition, even in a non-canon film or series with him having had full creative control over the project. But, alas...
Mr. Ben what really? Where did you read that
oh hello there! nice to see you here!
one of his ideas for the ending was to have ash wake up as a old man,misremembering his entire life and pokemon having never of existed. it's a good thing that one got shut down,cause there would have been a riot if the entire series ended up not being canon.
11:50 one of the few instances where 4kids made an improvement in the dub they state Molly's mother disappeared one day researching the unown
+Kyle Campbell-Yeah, I've found that 4Kids often operates under "opposite land" to where surprisingly, they will often make improvements on something the original dropped the ball on. For instance, in the first Pokemon movie, in the Japanese version, there was no mention of the legend where a storm wiped out only a few Pokemon and their tears resurrected all life on the planet-that was something 4Kids included to better explain the randomness of the Pokemon tears "resurrecting" Ash from stone and in a way, it's a pretty poetic inclusion. Likewise, there was no mention of what happened to Molly's mother in the Japanese version (although it's pretty clear now that she was supposed to be dead, and given that Molly didn't seem to remember her too much outside that she used to have a mother, indicating her mother died early enough in her life to where her father was the only parent in her life, it was always supposed to be that way that the mother had died at some point)-but given the ending and it dovetailed quite nicely into 4Kid's usual business of censoring unpleasant "death" (or absence in this case ????), they had to where Molly's mother had disappeared with the Unown as well and part of Hale's obsession with the Unown was to bring Molly's mother back.
Fera Flauna 4Kids often gets a lot of hate when its not due. Don't get me wrong. 4Kids does do a LOT of unnecessary censorship, like the jelly donuts. But they DID do a lot more good work than people give them credit for. Just as long as we don't get their dub of One Piece and the completely butchered 4Kids censored version of DBZ Kai, I'm fine with them.
+Trunks1stApprentice-I'm actually a lot nicer to 4Kids than most of my friends are, I'm willing to acknowledge when they did something right, easily, I have no problem with that, and aside from a few censorship problems, the Pokemon dub was actually very good, far more than people give it credit because of those stupid censorship decisions, the Pokemon dub remains one of the best things 4Kids has ever done, I even continue to argue the movie soundtracks in the 4Kids versions and especially the Yugioh English version are usually far superior to their Japanese counterparts, and that's not nostalgia talking either, it's a preference of taste, and to me, the Japanese composers are just simply not that good, "sacrilegious" as that is to say.
But just because I'm willing to accept and acknowledge all the good 4Kids did do, doesn't excuse all the bad they did, and they did a lot of awful, wretched, despicable things, Yugioh was a prime example of that-4Kids just took that show, mutilated into pieces and reassembled it into something that didn't resemble itself, and it only got worst from there. I have a lot of fondness for 4Kids left, particularly for Pokemon, but I also don't have a lot of love for them either. In a way, 4Kids is a lot like an alcoholic uncle-when they're "on the bottle," you despise them and hate what they do but you also have a lot of love left for when they got "off the bottle" as well.
Fera Flauna A lot of people I talk to at least like the original Yu-Gi-Oh! dub. Invisible guns aside, of course. They like the idea of being trapped in the Shadow Realm as an alternative to playing a card game somehow bringing you back from Hell, if nothing else.
Mei's mother came back at the end of the Japanese movie in the credits too...And Satoshi was not turned to stone, he actually died.
fucking thank you for actually respecting Takeshi Shudo's and many others work by looking into the original movies and NOT the dubs. the dubs are fun..... i guess, but can't hold a candle to the Japanese versions. it's a shame the first 3 films got really fucked over by the dubs. i also feel really bad for Shudo after that whole 3rd movie script rejection, he worked long with what he was given and in the end was turned down... it was an interesting idea too, as animals in the Pokémon world is often the focus of theories. great video btw
Well the dude raised a good point about Molly's mom. Now I'm wishing for legal subs.
If you don't want to see that part just don't watch the credits
+ericbazinga true but I sympathize with the whole vision thing.
So it was Takeshi Shudo who saved my life - because the stories about Mewtwo were the one thing that saved me when I was younger; I wanted to die at the age of 11, but seeing Mewtwo in the cinema and how he made it into freedom, striving for his purpose all the way, it inspired me to live on. I have been wondering who the person was behind the script... and thanks to this video, I now know. I know that Takeshi Shudo will never read this, but thank you. Thanks to you, I am still alive. The idea of Mewtwo and his story have inspired someone to live on when all they wanted was to give up.
And not just Mewtwo... I loved the third movie as well, because I strongly identified with the dream world theme, and living in an illusionary world like Molly. And like her, wishing for more intimacy and having someone to love and be loved by.
I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything for the next statement. The movie helped you make a choice, not made you. It was you who made the choice to continue living, not the movie. You can be influenced by outside materiel, but it is you who makes the choice. The main thing to get out of this reply is that you stopped your own self-loathing and almost death, so you have the power to choose the life you have. A single person cause spark peace, war, or anything in between. Be the person that makes fate bend to your will, not the one who bends to fate.
Stand strong.
I hope you're doing okay now. Anyone that's having trouble should call 1-800-273-TALK.
You must always remember
Life can be a challenge
Life can seem impossible
It's never easy when so much is on the line
But you can make a difference
With courage you can set things right
The gift to dream and make dreams real
Is yours and mine
The power of one
Begins with believing
It starts in the heart
Then flows through the soul
And changes the world
Imagine how life will be
When we stand in unity
Each of us holds the key
To the power of one
Each of us is chosen
There's a mission just for you
Just look inside you'll be surprised
What you can do
The power of one
Begins with believing
It starts in the heart
Then flows through the soul
And changes the world
Imagine how life will be
When we stand in unity
Each of us holds the key
To the power of one
And one by one
We can make the world a much better place
The power of one
Begins with believing
It starts in the heart
Then flows through the soul
And changes the world
Imagine how life will be
When we stand in unity
Each of us holds the key
It's inside of you and me
Each of us holds the key
To the power of one
(This was an inspiring story in it's own right. Stay strong and keep holding on. [czcams.com/video/mxYqyWgYNyE/video.html ])
@@jackloxtile2764 true dat!
Wow... that explains why I remembered those three more than the rest. Not to say they were bad, just not as memorable. You have clearly put a lot of effort, time, and hard work into this one. I don't mind seeing a video like this delayed if it's at a quality of this stature. Keep up the amazing work, it doesn't go unappreciated.
Because the scene with the mother at the end was never explained I always thought that she was the first victim of the Unown and that was why the dad was so obsessed with researching it to the neglect of his daughter. Then when the dad came back from that dimension he found the mum shortly after. That's been my head canon since watching it for the first time anyway.
Siddif That's what 4Kids intended.
@@Trunks1stApprentice That is what 4Kids intended, and they actually handled it far better than the original Japanese version. Because Shudo always intended for Mi/Molly's mother to be dead. That explains why Mi is so close to her father and why she seems to have little memory of what her true mother is like to where she wants to "adopt" Ash's mom as her new mother. Even in the 4Kids version, there are implications that Molly's mother is dead and with Snowden/Hale gone and her mother too, with the Unown, Molly wants to bring back her entire family in some way. . .So when Mi's mother reappears at the end of the Japanese version, it's actually pretty damn bewildering. Because by all accounts even in the movie, she's supposed to be dead. (Sonada, the co-writer of the movie, actually defied Shudo's wishes that Mi's mother remain dead.) So when 4Kids was handled the movie for localization, they actually did. . .actual effort to try and correct that enormous plot hole. 4Kids tends to operate in "opposite land." They'll drop the ball where the original excels. . .BUT when the original actually drops the ball, 4Kids often picks it up and makes it better. . .
They even did this for Mewtwo Strikes Back. In the original, there's absolutely no reason established why the Pokemon's tears resurrected Ash from his stone "death." In the 4Kids dub, they attempted to explain this by adding a legend how long ago, when the world was consumed by a storm that wiped out all life but a few Pokemon, those Pokemon's tears resurrected the lost life of the land. So it wasn't a bad addition on 4Kids' part for that one. Even in Pokemon 2000, Giarden/Lawrence the III only glimpses at the Mew card at the end of the original. In the dub, 4Kids attempts to add a glimpse at Lawrence the III's past by having him say he started his collection with a Mew card. . .
"As for the T-Rex script it was apparently auctioned off for 1 billion to some random guy in his 30s"
Well that I didn't expect, haha. Great video, man! It's not something I would seek to research myself but it's an interesting story worth hearing and you presented it well.
Thanks very much, man! Glad ya liked it!
1. Ai's story gets me every time. While I do dislike the 4Kids version eliminating the more complex story, I can see it peeking through just enough to make it out. But you made it even more amazing that I knew it before.
2. As a Catholic, I find Shudo's theory on coexistence to be both enlightening and very much in line with my personal beliefs. We all share this wonderful planet and should live how we see fit, but we are not alone and depend on others. This is why people like Giovanni, Ghetsis, and all the other Pokemon villains fail. They only trust and rely on themselves, and are doomed to fail.
3.I'd drown my sorrows too if I had my amazing artistic work shot down like that. And he is best father of the decade. and screw the execs. They don't respect art at all. Like Don Bluth said: "Kids can take anything at all, as long as you make a happy ending."
But all in all, thank you for making this great video and bolstering my feelings towards a truly great artist that will forever be remembered in the Pokemon community.
Rest in Peace, Master Shudo.
+Francis Jeremy Xavyer-Actually, 4Kids kept Ai/Amber's story pretty well in tact, considering. (If you can find the 4Kids dub for that part of the movie, it was excised from original release and may only have been released along with the Mewtwo Returns DVD, NOT the original VHS either. .. ). The only real weird things they did that veered off from the original was that 1. rather than Ai/Amber (II) knowing she was a clone of the original, 4Kids hamfisted that it was somehow Amber's original consciousness still in there and Fuji was only trying to give Amber a new body (although Amber still wound up dying anyway. . .). Like I said, pretty weird. (If you look at the sub, it is clear that Ai (II) is a clone of the original Ai). 2. In the sub, they only administered a sedative of Mewtwo after Ai's death to calm him down. And as he grew, he eventually forgot about Ai as a hazy dream. . .In the dub, the sedative was the thing that caused Mewtwo to forget about Amber. But overall, both Ai/Amber's death in the sub/dub are pretty damn sad and gut-wrenching. I still don't know why 4Kids bothered to go through the effort of dubbing the section. . .only to finally cut it out completely anyway. . .
2. Shudo's co-existence theory with Pokemon dovetails far better with the games, as you said. Especially because in the original Japanese movies and the games, legendary Pokemon are revered and worshiped as Gods. Legendaries are more akin to the nature/creature deities in Japanese folklore. So regular Pokemon are basically "descendants" of gods living alongside humans. In the games, Pokemon and humans both need each other. Without either, the balance of their existence is entirely destroyed. Giovanni, Cyrus, and Ghetsis fail because they are selfish, arrogant individuals who feel they don't NEED anyone or anything else. Cyrus even views himself as a living God. Even Team Magma and Team Aqua, despite their somewhat better intentions to "balance out the world" seek to disrupt the balance of nature itself in order to do so and unwittingly, wind up nearly destroying the entire world because of it.
3. I've always found Pokemon 3. . .a frustrating ordeal. A lot of it is very, very good. However, since Shudo was forced to hand the movie off to co-writer Hideki Sonoda, who is a lesser writer than Shudo, it has Sonoda's classic pacing problems, as well as a lack of a cohesive focus that Shudo tended to bring. So as good as Pokemon 3 still is, despite those enormous issues, I have to wonder how much better it would've been had Shudo been given full control with writing the movie. (And I did watch both sub and dub, for the record. The sub is MUCH BETTER, but it still has the same pacing and cohesion problems.) Not to mention, Sonoda defied Shudo's wishes to establish that Mi/Molly's mother was dead, which was pretty dickish on Sonoda's part.
@@dwainsimmons3447 it needed to die off 30 years ago.
@Dwain Simmons Brother my Brother tied into the theme, imma be honest. And somber music over sad fight scenes work.
This was a great video. Also really good use of the Pokemon XD music for some parts.
I love the XD soundtrack. It's almost too good for the game itself.
I had the third movie on vhs and watched it over and over.
Here from DYKG. Nice video!
Thanks, man!
very dense stream of information... I liked the video but I could never even attempt to watch 2 in a row of your videos... maybe consider having more pauses between words or speaking slower...
these movies had DAMN GOOD MUSIC
@9:01 Shudo often drank, to loosen up & get into his characters’ minds, or to get into other people’s minds when he met them.
This probably contributed to his declining health & eventual death.
These were the three best Pokemon movies. My first movie I ever saw in theaters was Mewtwo Strikes Back. I was five years old when I saw it. My mom took me, my brother, and three of his friends to see the movie and we got a Mew card. It was great.
Morale of the story: Always watch the sub version.
At least if 4kids was behind the production.
sorry but US is known to fuck up any show from any country, exceptions exist but they are too rare
It is always funny to compare the different language versions on the DVD/Blu-ray disk. For example in the first Pokémon movie all language versions told different place where the vikings live (Team Rocket were disguised as vikings) . If I remember correct, in the Swedish dub the vikings live in Norway, in Norwegian dup the vikings live in Sweden, in Finnish dub the vikings live in the 'archipelago of Sipoo' (probably an inside joke amongst the translation team), etc...
I agree I only watched Subbed
Dub*
Hey everybody! Sorry this video took a bit longer to come out than anticipated; real-life things came up and I didn't want to rush anything when it came to research and whatnot. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
The Birth Of Mewtwo is a really good radio drama. It's well-written, has an amazing story, and even uses music from the anime (at all the correct times)! You can find it here on CZcams if you're interested!
Yup, that's where I found it!
+TheCartoonGamer8000 I had to go listen to it again after you mentioned it. :-)
I wish they did an English dub or at least a fandub...
What about Stadium?
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew will always be my favorite, because I (especially now as an adult) really related with Lucario and how lost he felt when Aaron, his trainer, just disappeared, leaving him all alone to figure out the world around him.
This alongside the previous Takeshi Shudo video are among some of my favorites on your channel. I may not particularly care about the anime, but I think everything in both these videos are very interesting to learn about. Thanks for spreading the information across the internet and thanks for making the entertaining content you do.
Thanks for the kind words. :)
Yo man, this was phenomenal. I hadn't seen most of these movies since I was a kid, and I feel like you nailed all the special stuff behind 'em. Great stuff!
Thanks, man! Glad you enjoyed!
Pokémon 3 was my fist dvd movie
One big trait that the first three movies had Fat Pikachu.
Dang... Pokémon had such good media back then.
Shudo is my favorite writer for the movies but the fact that you mentioned his death which I haven't known about made me feel upset, I had no idea man.
This was some awesome analysis! I need to rewatch these movies with this context now.
The music from the GameCube Pokemon games were a perfect fit for the video. Yet another amazing video from one of my all time favourites.
This was incredibly interesting, awesome video man.
Out of these three movies, the third one is the one I remembered seeing all those years ago. It was my first. I wasn't even born yet when the first two came out. So, it holds a very special place in my heart.
waves of nostalgia for these movies and the fourth. Lugia's song is enough to make me teary-eyed.
That backstory of Fuji creating Mewtwo sounds awfully similar to Astro Boy (even his design is the same as Dr Tenma)
WOW! That was amazing, great video!
Thanks for reminding me why I loved this series so much growing up.
the first movie is the best great soundtrack too!
Thank you so much for this~
You filled my eyes with tears. Thanks
5:32 wait wait wait wait wait. Is That a Tapu Costume?
i can't remember if they openly say it,but judging by the context i'd say it's supposed to be zapdos.
This is really inspiring stuff. I love how Shudo wanted to tell a great story even if it was admittedly for a production to promote the games. Because let's face it, that's ultimately what the movie and anime series are. I aspire to be a writer like him, who wants to have their work have something to say. It is also devastating to see how they fumbled the ending for the 3rd movie. I feel the rest of the Pokemon films would've benefited tremendously from him. To me they just became excuses to fight a new legendary for the next game. I felt that the inspiration from Shudo was always missing in them.
My gosh this is super well done! Seriously. Good job!
Literally in my mid twenties and that pokemon tear scene from the first movie still chokes me up.
I loved the presentation of this video! Keep it up, do what you love.
Damn, CZcams feed made me lose this video. Great as always though, growing up I noticed a lot of cool things in the first three movies, such as a pretty surprising theme of eugenics in the first movie, both with the creation of Mewtwo and his initial following of the idea of the perfect pokémon, summoning strong trainers and cloning their pokémon to create new, pure pokémon to create a new world with. Plus, here in Italy Mewtwo was voiced by Mario Zucca, and if you look for some clips from the movie you can really tell how awesome his powerful voice sounds on Mewtwo. It also had stunning visuals, I'm pretty sure some of them would look cool as paintings. But once again, the Hoenn movies proved to be great too, and I'm particularly fond of Jirachi Wish Maker and the ending song of that movie.
When I re watched these 3 movies during the Pokemon Day celebration stream, I was definitely thinking about the aspects and themes. Its amazing how my view of these films has changed over the course of 20 years, and I still find myself coming back to them every now and again. Great video!
Thanks man! I feel the same way (well, clearly)!
Great video and great research!
Awesome video!
Pokémon 3 the movie will always hold dear to my heart.
Thank you for making these. These are very interesting. I always wondered if these movies were directed differently or was it just me.
I want these to get seen more which is why I share vids like this on social media. I don't think anyone talks about this writer. Not even the biggest Poketubers.
never stop making videos man!!!!
This is fantastic. Wonderful analysis of the plot in each of the movies and great background info as well.
p.s. Have any of you seen these movies' scores on Rotten Tomatoes? They're baffling.
This was awesome and well-done. :)
Mewtwo's back story is giving me a Sonic Adventure 2 vibe with Shadow's back story.
Great video, I can tell a lot of time and effort when into this :D
Having the original Mewtwo fighting the Genesect Army would have nicely brought its story-arc full circle, as the plot not only would have given it a purpose in life, but also confront an enemy that mirrored what it tried to do in the first Pokémon film. Of course, all of those things more or less already occurred in Mewtwo Returns, but would you pass such a story up? Instead they botch the entire thing up by making an unnecessary second Mewtwo.
Takeshi Shudo would have been happy with The Power of Us film, I think there was allot of his spirit within the storyline of the most recent Pokemon film.
Pokémon 2000 is my all-time favorite of all the Pokémon movies. And it's not just the nostalgia speaking, here. Yes, I did watch it in the theater when it came out but I still watch it again every now and then and I still like it now as much as I did back in the day.
I love watching your videos. You're such a joy to watch.
Didnt know a lot of this stuff, GOOD JOB!
As soon as I saw the three movies on BD, I had to buy them. All this information on their meaning is just beautiful.
Great Job!
thank you Takeshi Shudo with your movies.
man, when you announced a new shudo video - i was so hyped! high hopes for another great informative video
and it totally was :cool: just like the last one. i feel so educated (doesn't happen very often with poketubers btw)
Ooo, I really enjoyed this. Super interesting.
this is amazing!!! Great video!!
Thanks very much!
No problem. Like I said, this is great! Everything was super interesting! It would be awesome if you could do something like this for some of the other movies too, even if it's not this in depth!!
Peekz 1025 Maybe someday. There's not as much written about the other films as far as I know, but never rule anything out!
I was wanting to rewatch this recently and wow!... This video is already 5 years old
Time sure flies!
I loved the first film, I saw it in theatres when I was a kid and I'm glad to know the japanese version is a lot better than the one we got. I didn't care much for the second one, it was alright, but I dunno, I guess I was on my Pokémon phase out by the time I got to watch it, again, I'm glad the japanese version is much better.
But the third film in particular is a bit more special, I saw it for the first time like 4 or 5 years ago, so no nostalgia attatched to it whatsoever and I really liked it! I loved it exactly because there was no villain, just good people caught in bad circumstances. It's just a shame about that post-credits scene though.
Thanks a lot for this vid, very informative and it made me appretiate the first 3 films a lot more and the first few seasons of the anime as well, I knew there was something that made them special and now I know it was because of Mr. Takeshi.
Cheers mate! =)
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed learning about the films, and also that you've got a newfound appreciation for them. :)
Awesome video
facinating documentary
Deep down, i knew the message of the first movie was something different then the message we got from the US dub!
Was intrigued when seeing this from did you know gaming. Cool video man, really well done. Definitely checking out some more videos
Thanks! Hope you like what you see!
I GET SO NOSTALGIC WHEN I WATCH THIS
“We dreamed of creating the world’s strongest Pokemon, and we succeeded.”
Damn dude I missed your stuff lol nice job.
Just watched the Japanese version of mewtow strikes back. It was WAY more intense and mewtwo was more complex.
@@dwainsimmons3447 oh facts! In just about every way! Even the music is way better! Don't even get me started on the acting and the emotions!
@@dwainsimmons3447 That's true, I personally prefer the Japanese actors and music though, especially when it comes to Mewtwo himself
I'll always say tbis till the day i die but imo the biggest pokemon fans are the ones that grew up when the show was at its biggest. So if youre older than like 23-22 hahaha
I Missed your videos. For such a low subscriber count you put so much work into your videos.
yay new video :D
5:31 is that Tapu Koko teased in 2000??? Damn they are good at building Sun and Moon hype
WHY. DOESN'T. THIS. HAVE. MORE. VIEWS.
I did not know about that last change in the pokemon 3 movie. dang, that sucks. Wish he got what he wanted for his last works.
Great video! Thanks for the insight. Wish we had gotten more Shudo movies. I always wondered why we had weird Pokemon combos in the movies. Entei and Unown? That didn't make any sense to me. I get it now. -Stevie
I'm just happy we managed to get a full-blown trilogy. Glad you liked it, Stevie!
The 3rd movie is my favorite of the lot.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the fact the whole "tears of life" thing the movie said and that's why Ash was brought back, maybe you did and I wasn't fully listening.
Really good video though!! I love these 3 movies, no matter how old I get.
Here from the DYKG vid, and I am impressed. Insta-sub.
Cool!
Fun fact of Pokémon 2000 the voice actresses of Sailor Moon Sailor Mercury Luna and one of the villains in the Black Moon Arc do characters in the movie. Though for Luna's voice actress she did Professor Ivy in the show too.
Professor Ivy was voiced by Kayzie Rogers, not Jill Frappier (Luna) or any of her other voices. The only VA that I know of attached to Sailor Moon is Veronica Taylor.
I mean in the Japanese version of it.
Whoops.
Ai can techincally be a double pun of not only " I " but also A.I because she would technically end up as an experiment for artificial intelligent.
One of my most loved scenes of the first movie is the one with Meowth and his clone =3
Also: I want to join you with your last words there: Thank you, Mr. Shudo.
And you, CartoonGamer, thank you for this video =)
nice video
I didn't even remember that last scene on the third movie and it was by far the most rewatched movie.
I guess I rejected the scene back then since it gives a big fuck you to the whole movie.
I loved all the research ya done here, I always wondered why the movies after Pokemon 3 wasn't as good on writing quality, now I know why. OoO
Damn, his message just gotten totally messed up there, and I can imagine it was a slap in the face of him hence why he walked out. But regardless, at least he did come out on one last beautiful story before his passing. ;3;
You shall always live on our hearts and our childhoods Mr. Takeshi Shudo, alongside dear Mr. Iwata, Godspeed! ;u;
PS.. For next years Poke-Month, ya must review the new Pikachu I Choose You movie; seems that the internet is split on either loving or hating it. I thought it was good myself, but who knows how it will last. ^-^
The post-credit bit for Pokemon 3 kinda makes me angry.
I was an only child with a single parent at the time this movie came out, and I interpreted the end scene as Molly's father getting re-married after the death of his wife and Molly living out the rest of her life with a complete family again. It gave me hope as a kid that things may still work out.
Knowing that it's just her real mother joining the family again just ruins it for me. Stuff like that doesn't happen in the real world.
I suppose for the 3rd Movie Shudo might prefer the Dub version's explanation about Molly's mother.
Perhaps. It's hard to say. Shudo's original intention, and most of the movie, both sub and dub, hammer the implication that Mi/Molly's mother is supposed to be dead. So when Snowden/Hale is swallowed up by the Unown to their dimension, Molly has lost both her mother and father in such a short amount of time in her life. Since the original didn't provide an explanation over why Mi's mother returned at the end of the movie, 4Kids attempted to correct it by explaining that Molly's mother had disappeared, possibly kidnapped by the Unown as well. So when Hale returns home to Molly at the end of the movie with the mother, in 4Kids' version, it's because the Unown returned both of them and Hale was able to find her after all this time. The implication being that Hale's obsession with the Unown was in part because he was trying to find the wife they kidnapped. .. .That 4Kids addition is actually not that shabby to be fair. . .
I love the first three movies and turn learn that Shudo is the one who wrote those films made sense. the first three films seem like they could fit into the tv show. The first three were the only ones to be produced by WB right??
My mind is blown...
" _It just wasn't worth killing himself over anymore._ "
Hehehe.
The only Pokemon movie I've watched is the first one, as MewTwo is my favorite PKMN of all times.
Though now, I might consider 2 and 3.
Good
