I'm actually a little surprised it's getting a limited release. I definitely won't pay to see it but nice for the people who wanted to watch it in a theater. The dub logo is absolutely atrocious. The movie logos are usually pretty cool...this is really the best they could do for an anniversary...

It kind of was, though. I remember seeing that in quite a few shows as a kid. A majority of the slapping and hitting was edited out in the dub anyways, so I'm not even directly thinking of Pokemon (I had no idea Misty slapped Ash in the first episode until I was much older). But times changed...

"Abusive stuff" is kind of a gross way to put it. I understand what that quote is trying to convey, but abusive is a very poor choice of words. OS Ash did act like a 10 year old, which includes the frustration and the rashness and all of that. But being "abusive" was never part of Ash's...

Wow, those comments were a real punch in the gut. My dream was to have a movie with an "all star cast" as they put it. And speaking solely from a writing perspective (I know there would have been some logistical issues that would've had to be addressed) it should be possible. I've read plenty of...

The movie sounds incredibly sloppy and underwhelming, which I was pretty much expecting (although I was hoping they could pull it together). The only positive is it sounds like the movie exclusive characters' scenes can be fast forwarded through or not paid attention to without missing much of...

I honestly think the whole "rainbow connection" thing (heh...see what I did there?) is giving them too much credit. It seems almost like a reach at this point. I just think this movie is starting to have way too much going on in it. It's almost like the writers try to do the most and it backfires.

I'm really disappointed that the legendary beasts appear to be in this movie. I actually love the legendary beasts, but I was looking forward to Ho-Oh finally getting some focus. Adding Marshadow in was bad enough. I feel like this always happens: too much gets crammed into one movie and as a...

Which is why I said a major reason. Not the only reason. The movies have been awful for reasons outside of the CotMs. But to me, they are a part of what stands out as being notably bad. Really just my feelings on the matter, so I'll leave it at that.

Then that's why I don't see the point of the whole thing. If these characters were created as the usual CotM, yet they are traveling within the movie with Ash, then I just don't get it. What was the point? The CotM have been awful, and they're a major reason I haven't actually enjoyed a Pokémon...

Because they weren't traveling with Ash. Everyone knew they were the one off movie characters. If these brand new characters are simply one offs like all of the movie characters of the past, then you're right, I don't need to know that much about them, and they'll end up carrying on what I...

Except that's hard when I know nothing about them. These are brand new characters, being introduced solely for a movie. For me at least, it's very difficult to have interest in a character when I barely know anything about them. Like I said, I can be more forgiving towards the show because it's...

I also don't think it's fair to compare the SM characters to these characters. SM is a show, with a new episode almost every week. There is more time for us to learn more about the characters, and for them to be developed. This is a movie. I think it's important to know a little bit more about...

I suppose, but I feel like at this point, it may be backfiring on them. I know for me it is. I want to know why I should care about these characters, or why I should be excited for the plot. Right now, I don't have any. This whole "secret" thing is about it right now, and truthfully, chances are...

What I don't understand is why people are now getting annoyed about speculation about the movie. We barely know anything about it (still! At 2 months out!) so obviously the most miniscule new information we get is going to be speculated about. I don't see anyone begging and pleading for this...

No, I'm definitely annoyed. I don't care so much that they're appealing to the younger audience, since that is the anime's main demographic. It just seems like a hype crusher to keep everything so close to the vest. I understand they don't want to spell out the entire movie, which is fine, but I...

It's really not a bad thought. Honestly, I might be more interested in her if she actually turns out to be a villain. These characters still sound dull as hell, and I don't have much faith in this girl's "secret." If she did turn out to be an antagonist, though, that'd be kind of neat.

Could you imagine if this chick ended up being the real "Hero of the Rainbow"? Like after all this hype with Ash finally tracking down Ho-Oh it's actually destined to be this random girl? I wouldn't even put it past them at this point, tbh.

THIS. Movie specific characters, especially lately, have been just awful. The CotDs within the show were getting on my nerves too, but nowhere near the extreme annoyance CotMs have been. There actually used to be some very good movie specific characters (Molly Hale is a big reason why M3 is...

But it is the 20th anniversary movie, and the entire franchise started with Kanto. So regardless of whether people love it or hate it, that is where this whole thing started. And as far as the anime is concerned, characters like Misty and Brock and Gary were major players. Now, regardless, this...
