As a child of the 90s, it’s difficult to think of an animated film that excited me more than Pokémon: The First Movie. The stellar followup Pokémon: The Movie 2000 soon became my personal favorite, and though subsequent entries were pretty enjoyable for what they were, those two earned and cemented their place in my heart nostalgia-wise and will likely never be replaced.
I tend to be a critic of nostalgia-bias when it comes to serious cinema critique, but let’s be honest – these films are designed to have this effect. It’s part of their charm! Each new Pokémon film is the equivalent of Pokémon: The First Movie for a young new generation of trainers, which is why I always try and give the films a watch or two if I get the chance. Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened will undoubtedly be no different.
