Finally some Gen 1 hype I can get on board with!

I wish I was able to foretell how good a movie was with a 30 second clip that only showed images and no action.The title of this movie speaks for itself. Pokemon movies should not be reboots of anything in my opinion. For me, this is the worst pokemon movie to ever be made. No need to watch it because it is basically the same as the episode but longer.
It is not that hard to see how bad this movie would be. It is basically episode one of the anime that has been turned into a movie. Obviously they are doing this for anniversary but still no excuse.Looks like you'll be saving money then, eh?

This is the first time in about 10 years that the anime has done anything noteworthy with Kanto rather than just Pikachu, Charizard and (to a much lesser extent) Mewtwo.And this is why Kanto should never come back for games. Both the anime and GF are focusing too much on gen 1. Can we move on from it please?

What is so great about putting episode 1 of the anime as a movie? I am not bias but Kanto has been thrown down my throat more times than I can count.This is the first time in about 10 years that the anime has done anything noteworthy with Kanto rather than just Pikachu, Charizard (and to a much lesser extent) Mewtwo.
As usual, your bias is showing.
1. The possibilities of a reboot and taking Ash's storyline in a different direction.What is so great about putting episode 1 of the anime as a movie?
It wouldn't work and neither the movie title nor trailer hint at it.kantoskies said:unless they did a Generations-type thing but I'm not sure how that would work as a feature-length film.
Ash would do no better in a reboot then he did in the current anime. A reboot wouldn't save the anime which going down hill. They could off just aired the first episode again instead of doing a movie that is basically the same thing.1. The possibilities of a reboot and taking Ash's storyline in a different direction.
2. They no doubt want fans of the original series to watch the movie. Since we're talking about people in their late 20s or older, the writing should be more mature, while still appealing to kids.

Have you been in a board meeting with the producers to know that?It is not that hard to see how bad this movie would be. It is basically episode one of the anime that has been turned into a movie. Obviously they are doing this for anniversary but still no excuse.
Says who? The reboot series could have a definite end without affecting the main anime, which seems to be a never-ending story.Ash would do no better in a reboot then he did in the current anime.
The title wouldn't be identical to that of the first episode if this were an untold story from the original continuity.martianmister said:Is it confirmed as a retelling? Couldn't that be an original story that take place during past seasons?
Just hearing about makes it sound terrible in my opinion.Have you been in a board meeting with the producers to know that?
Pokemon has been known to drop gems like this and yet have nothing to do with the actual movie. The first Japanese trailer for the first movie was: YouTube

No. I am not watching a movie that is clearly ripping off episode one. This movie is a serious bad joke in my opinion.But we don't know exactly what kind of story it's going to tell yet. There's no way of knowing at this point that it's 100% an expanded retelling of episode 1. All we can do is speculate off of a short teaser and the title.
Why can you not seem to handle anything even remotely different from established formulas? Could you maybe try to approach the film with at least a bit of cautious optimism?
