When I saw Pikachu crying over Ash in theaters as a kid, I'm pretty sure my ENTIRE theater were bawling their eyes out. Even the parents who came to watch with their kids and didn't know about Pokemon. That scene was traumatic! 😭

Boom’s realization that team rocket was the Vikings literally SENT me 😂

The fact that Boom was tricked by Team Rocket´s disguises was pure gold XDDD All these years Team Rocket manage to fooled Ash and friends with their "disguises" and the ones that actually hide their identitny worked with a real guy hahahah. And same, Ash´s dead scene always hit you with tears by hearing that violin string keep the sad note and then the sad music starts when Pikachu cry. That always hit you, even if you know what to expect, the setting works emotionally ;w;

I LOVE that Boom got duped by Team Rocket lol his reaction to meowth was priceless, I would equally LOVE to see more pokemon movie reactions

Team Rocket being able to trick Boom was hilarious 😂🤣

Fun fact: You see that scene of Mewtwo escaping from Giovanni in the TV series, it confirms the timeline of events in Pokemon the First Movie.

Fun fact: When Pikachu says “Pika Pi” it’s actually saying Ash’s name. Pika Pi = Satoshi; Ash’s name in the Japanese version. It makes it more heartfelt when you know Pikachu is literally crying out for its trainer.

Pokemon being described as "Getting mugged and trying to win the mugging" is so fucking right, though.

I remember begging my mom to take me to this movie as a kid when it came out. Literally at the beginning of the movie she was like "can't believe I am here" and at the end she admitted "wow this was a great movie for kids"

As somebody who's been a Pokemon fan for literally 20 years I want a hundred percent endorse and support more Pokemon content from you guys specifically because this is gold

"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Such an amazingly profound line from Mewtwo.

“Prepare for trouble.” “Make it double.” “To provide the world with fun reactions.” “To make great videos with no distractions.” “To provide our viewers with laughs and smiles.” “To broadcast our channel for miles and miles.” “Ruff!” “Boom!” “Eric!” “Sorta Stupid Crew reacts at the speed of light.” “You’ll watch our videos til’ 11 at night.” “H-Man, that’s right!”

I mean, Ash always introduces himself as “Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town”. By the point in the series the movie came out, he had accomplished a number of noteworthy achievements (such as beating Lt. Surge and getting the best of Sabrina) that would have been talked about, so it makes that trainers like the guy at the beginning of the movie would want to seek him out for a battle. Chronologically in the series, by this movie Ash is only about 5 episodes away from participating in the Kanto League Competition.

Seeing ash actually die was something else, dude. It's like when you see Spongebob and Patrick die in the Spongebob movies. I never these guys would have the balls to kill their protagonist.

Alright. Fun with the localisation changes time! 1: Doctor Fuji wasn't just trying to clone and improve Mew in the original. He was trying to save his terminally ill daughter. She talked to Mewtwo a lot and gave him his world view and tried to teach him the moral that comes out in the end. But she died. 2: Mew didn't say the "true strength comes from the heart" thing. Instead it was something like "Your pokémon are just clones, the originals are just as good if not better." So there was no good guy in the fight between them, they were both kind of jerks, and Ash got them *both* to back down.

Even though Ash doesn’t stay dead, watching this movie again now that he’s no longer in the anime as the main protagonist kinda hurts (but seriously, Liko is doing fantastic so far; she’s hilarious and adorable, she’s being the complete opposite of Ash and it works)

The ho-oh theory isn’t that he’s dead, it’s that ho-oh grants eternal happiness to anyone it flies over, and ash’s happiest as a kid journeying to become a pokemon master, hence how he stayed the same age for so long.

Ngl boom not knowing the Vikings were team rocket is just the most pure thing ever 😂😂😂

I love Miranda in this movie lol Her only purpose was pretty much to foreshadow the magical revival tears 😂

Every conversation about the vikings being Team Rocket and middle dude having no idea absolutely slayed me 😂😂😂

Fun fact in the 3rd movie there is a book about legendary pokemon. 1 page has a bright sun next to a tropical flower field. That pokemon would become Solgaleo in the Alola region 5 generations later. Of course they didn't have it planned at the time, but the inspiration definitely seems to be there.

the fact that a grown man didn't see through team rocket's viking disguise is making me wheeze

While it's occasionally disputed, most fans put this episode between The Pi Kahuna and Make Room for Gloom in the anime. This is because it HAS to be after Poke-Corral where he escapes and before the league starts(which is a narrow period of about 15 episodes). New Island is right next to Sea-Foam Island according to an official anime map, Ash spends two episodes ON Seafoam Island right after Poke-Corral, and then there's a timeskip where we next see him back on Pallet Town and he's never on an island again that season. Given he starts The Movie near the water not far for New Island he HAS to be on Seafoam, which means this is probably a day or two after the surfing Pikachu incident.

The amount of nostalgia this movie gives me is crazy. Im 28 now but this set me back when i was a kid discovering pokemon for the first time. Damn early 2000s was the best time to grow up as a kid ngl.

What this movie didn’t tell us in the past is the entire origin of Mewtwo. It’s past is very interesting as we get a deeper understanding of Mewtwo and Dr. Fuji, the old scientist. If you haven’t seen that portion of the movie, I definitely recommend it.

HE FELL FOR THE TEAM ROCKET DISGUISE! OMFG! XD

I lost it at : "They made Ash cherry flavored" 🤣

If you get to it the 3rd movie is honestly my FAVORITE one...especially when you realize in context just how DARK it is.

You know what’s funny…the original version came out with a mini backstory as to why Mewtwo was created. The scientist who created Mewtwo was actually trying to clone his deceased daughter and when Mewtwo was little he psychically linked with the scientist daughter along with the cloned versions of Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. They traveled around and laughed and was told of the legend that supposedly tears had the power to make miracles. Sadly the girls link broke and the scientist wasn’t able to clone his daughter and Mewtwo was left alone until he broke out of the cage. Apparently the US didn’t like the whole miracles with tears thing and decided to scrap it all together and put it as a deleted scene in DVD’s as “Mewtwo’s Origins.”

This movie is pure nostalgia and childhood for me. I've seen it for so many times by now and I can't stop watching it.

Cant believe yall didnt watch pikachus vacation. Its an essential part of the experience. When we went to watch this in the theatre, my mom was trying to tell my dad that the show is actually pretty good, and then that short started up and he literally left in disgust. 😭

47:15 Honestly all of them would be an interesting reaction 2000 and Unknown are probably the best but all Pokemon movies would be an interesting reaction as these movies are when the legendaries truly get involved They also always feel grandiose and fun

Oh man, I saw this in theaters as a kid. My dad loved it too.

I would actually like to see Boom attempt a Pokémon play through, for really just his whole fresh eyes take on some of the strange Pokémon that came after the initial 151

Also yeah the anime and manga essentially have two entirely different canons. The anime is basically Ash going to a region, dragging the first two people to folllow his journey in that region, beating the gyms, defeat the bad team, and then go to the pokemon league tournament to become champion. Usually he ends up at the end parting ways and meeting up with his mother along with meeting with old friends. The manga has multiple protagonists and is based on the events of the games, so the first set of volumes in the manga are based on Pokemon Red/Blue with the charcter Red as the main protagonist for that region. After they finish with Red becoming champion, the next volume turns to Pokemon Yellow with that storyline with Yellow as the protagonsist. This goes on and on, also all the stories are interconnected, so there are portions in canon of characters like Gold and Red meeting as well as events that are completely original to the manga like with the character Wally having a more important role in the manga even though the video games only have you fight and talk to him like three times. So some characters do have very dark moments, but it also presents a much more serious tone to allow for more tension in the scene. The overall plot of the manga though does follow the same objectives as Ash with one of the main characters going to becoming the champoin, but most of the time they also have other main characters embrace a lot of the gimmicks and things unique to that specific region. In addition to that they tend to flesh out the characters a lot better. If you read the manga you are immediantely able to tell the easy ones like Red is an energetic competitive character, but is quite lenient with how he does things. His rival Blue is more patient yet also competitive, although he is very strict with whatever he does. They have a sort of Goku and Vegeta, or Superman and Batman dynamic. In addition to that just about every battle presented is important to either character development or to the plot.

I remember watching this for the first time with my father as a kid and crying when seeing Ash sacrifice himself for the Pokémon, and ever time I rewatch it now. I still tear up. It’s such a powerful moment.

Ah yes, Ashes first death. First of many....

I loved this movie as a kid and still do as an adult. A few years back, for the 20th anniversary I believe, they re-aired this movie in select theaters and I 100% went to watch it. The theater was almost exclusively filled with 20 and 30-something adults who also adored the movie and we were all crying near the end. Also I think there was a 3D remake of this movie? I haven’t seen it but when the remake came out, they actually added the clone Charizard, clone Venusaur, and clone Blastoise to the Pokémon Go mobile game for a limited time (as well as a redesign of Armored Mewtwo) Also in the vein of stealing other people’s Pokémon: there actually were two Pokémon games on the GameCube (Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness) in which your character steals Pokémon from other trainers. Those games were much darker and had a more mature tone to the story. They do have some of the issues of older adventure-style games with occasional unclear flows for progression so a game guide might feel necessary at some parts but, even so, I highly recommend trying those out! I’ve been hoping that they might remake them or surprise us with a 3rd game for years (as the stories between the games were also linked) 🙏 The Pokémon movies are so good, I’d love to see you guys react to more! The dvd release for this movie actually also came with a bonus short called Mewtwo’s Origin that relates to the start of the movie, which I recommend checking out! I haven’t seen all of the movies but, of the ones I’ve seen, they’re all pretty great. The next several that I remember and would love to see reactions for are 2000, the Third movie, 4Ever, Heroes, Jirachi Wish Maker, Destiny Deoxys, and Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Also! A few of these movies actually originally aired in theaters with fun unrelated Pokémon Shorts at the start, so a few of those might be fun to check out (albeit the shorts are much more silly and most of them don’t have much dialogue, as it’s usually just groups of Pokémon interacting without their trainers)

The start of the movie where mewtwo freaking killed the scientists still gives me chills till this day. As a kid, it made me feel scared of mewtwo and i was worried in what he would do to ash and his friends when i first saw this movie 😨 Also at 10:02 can we talk about the fact that the random trainer guy freaking decided to use 3 pokemon at the same time???? Like geez, that guy really hates losing that he went so desperate and decided to cheat by using three against on one. Glad ash mopped the floor with that guy 😂 Also i freaking love mew! It has been my most favorite legendary ever since i saw this movie as a kid. And the very cute yet funny thing about mew is that despite being a legendary, it has the mentality of a playful child 🥺

One of my favorite Childhood movies. It definitely left a good impression on my view of the franchise on how it could bring certain emotions out of you. Nowadays, the movies are hit and miss, but this one has a special place in most fans hearts. ❤️🔥

This is one of the best movies of all pokemon. The english dub kind of strays in a weird direction with the motivation and ending, the japanese version had a different direction. Either way the move is really good for the time, especially being the first of its kind.

I was expecting another Scooby Doo movie but no we're getting a pokemon movie reaction holy shit my expectations skyrocketed today lol.

there was a scene they cut for the American release (which was later included after Mewtwo's second movie outing) where a younger Mewtwo was in a virtual reality dreamscape where he would interact with the daughter of one of the scientists (who was being cloned to save her life from an incurable disease). While there, she mentions how her mother told her about the tears of Pokemon being able to restore life in some capacity, thus giving context to that scene in the movie. If I recall correctly, there were clones of the Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle that would later evolve into his 3 starters present in the dreamscape too.

Oh man I've never watched you guys before I just was drawn in by the title but I am CRYING laughing at you guys omg. Dude in the middle definitely hasn't seen Pokemon if he doesn't know every conveniently timed appearance of a random helpful duo is almost always Team Rocket 😂😂. Love his first reactions to random pokemon just like "woah look at that" 😂

Besides the remaining Pokémonmovies 2, 3, 4 etc. there's a fully sequel Movie for the first Movie named "Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns" from the year 2000. Mewtwo erased all the memories, besides of Giovannis, who is still searching for mewtwo, who seems now nice, but Giovannis isn't. And Ash and the others meet, but don't remember mewtwo in this one. Maybe you should check out "Mewtwo Returns"! And there's an CGI Remake from the first movie named "Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution" (2019).

I will literally watch every pokemon movie reaction 🤩🎉 I really hope you guys keep going! "Pokemon: Lucario and the mystery of mew" is my FAVORITE

Never seen a movie torn apart with such love. You gotta keep reacting to 90s and 2000s kids films. It's hilarious.

Fun Fact: in the Japanese version of the movie Mew is much more malicious as he see's the copied pokemon and by extension, Mewtwo, as abominations. His goal was to wipe them out completely as he felt that only the original pokemon were real living beings while the clones didn't deserve to exist.

35:03 In XD Gale of darkness (via either GameCube or Emulator) you can basically steal the evil team’s shadow Pokémon with snag balls which is basically like these pokeballs

Wow! Never would have expected this reaction but Im all here for it! Good luck on avoiding copyright.

there is actually a prologue part of this movie that talks about how Pokémon tears bring life and showed when mewtwo was first created

That whole Pokemon clone brawl is sorta poetic in a way. There's so much going on, Ash is climbing down, the clones are fighting the originals, Mew vs Mewtwo and everyone is a little confused. Then all of a sudden the hat drops when Ash gets taken out and everything fall quiet. The fighting only stops when a line is crossed and Ash had to be the line. Some weird light music, then epic fight, then BAM, child death (or petrification whatever, but they treated it like he was dead)

An absolute banger of a movie, a true classic. I remember watching this back when it got released. I'd recommend watching Destiny Deoxys or Jirachi Wish Maker next, those are my personal fav.

I will never not tear up from this movie.

I have never seen your channel before and I just wandered in here, but vicariously seeing this ridiculous, wonderful movie with fresh eyes was an absolute delight. I'd be really into seeing more Pokemon reactions from you. There is so much weird lore to get into.

I watched this in the theatre when it came out, I was 9 years old at the time and like every other child in that movie theatre, I bawled my eyes out when Ash was turned to stone and Pikachu was desperately trying to wake him up with their electricity. Especially since it was always used for comedic scenes in the anime, I'm 34 years old now; I still tear up and cry like I'm that 9 year old boy any time I see that scene.

They actually did a 10 minute short of Mewtwo's origins that's a companion piece to this movie. And an hour long TV special sequel. They even did a shot-for-shot 3D animated remake that has just a little bit more dialogue Speaking of dialogue, the magic tears were mentioned at the beginning when that woman talked about the storm. IMO, out of all the Pokemon movies, the second one is the best.

idk if anyone has mentioned this but, one of Ash's better but detrimental features is that he'll do whatever it takes to help a Pokémon to the point that he's almost seriously hurt or dies (in movies). Like that one scene here where he dives after his Pikachu he does this without hesitation multiple times in the series for either his or other pokemon.

The moment the song "Brother, my brother.." starts playing, i ALWAYS start crying! Its my crying trigger for this movie ALL THE TIME!😢😢😢

"you're trying to win the mugging" is the best description of a pokemon game I've ever heard XD

This was such an amazing beginning for a whole franchise of movies. My favorite has and always will be Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

This was quite a fun react and had me cracking up so much. Can't wait for the eventual Pokemon 2000 movie reaction. 😊

Brock's actor is also Seto Kiba from Yugioh which is kind of funny that two characters. Kiba is a serious person and obsessed with being the best duelist, yet Brock just wants to chase girls but yet knowledgeable on Pokémon.

I think that's the first time I witnessed someone other than the Protagonists to fall for the Disguises of Team Rocket. 😱

This was my childhood, I still have the novelisation.

8:47 The pokémon the challenger uses here is a pokémon that is ahead of its time. Because the first season falls under the first generation of pokémon, the original 151 pokémon, that elephant-like pokémon is called donphan, and is a second generation pokémon. But when the movie was made the second generation of pokémon was out already, I guess.

The first movie and the Darkrai one are abslutely my favorites, love to see y'all check that one out. The Oracion tune from it is beautiful and I use it for my various alarms/ringtones/etc

Fun fact: The robot arms from the cloning machine that grabbed Ash in Mewtwo's "lab" where the bones from all the humans that dies in the original lab where mewtwo was created!

I rented this movie so much as a kid the owner gave me a copy on the house

This is one of the funniest reactions I’ve seen on this channel for the sole reason that boom experiencing Pokémon for the first time was funny as hell! I’ve been I fan since the first generation and I think this is my first time watching someone so blind to the series yet enjoying it a lot has done my soul some real good. I hope you guys continue watching these movies cause I think the first five are great. Also, you should watch the shorts that came with the movies cause those are just fun watches if you wanna see what Pokémon do without their trainers

I’m a sucker for videos of people watching things I love for the first time and them loving it too. Loved this!

I remember being a kid living in Minnesota and them mentioning us we all cheered briefly

There was also a Haunter that could talk through Meowth by controlling him. So ghost Pokemon can communicate as long as they have some Human/Pokemon to speak through. Lots of Pokemon seem to understand human speech but most lack the ability to speak the human language themselves probably.

Okay so going through and doing every single pokemon movie would be insane, but you should definitely check out the ones with Entei and Darkrai. Cosmic horror for children

I cannot stop laughing with every comment and quip Boom makes, this is hilarious and nostalgic. More Pokemon series or movie reactions would be amazing! 💗

I'm at the staryu part and I'm already in tears laughing so hard. I just found you guys today. You guys are awesome.

Guys, now you MUST watch the other pokemon movies! Seriously, there are many movies but the stories are fun and funny, and the legendary pokemons are always interesting, please watch more!!

Can't wait for you guys to watch Pokemon 2,000. That one is my favorite. This one was pretty great too. 18:00 Especially this part, so out of left field but yet its fucking hilarious and I live in that state.

The music in this movie is epic weirdly enough 😂

19:32 “Wait, oh it was them?!” Me: Hold on, Team Rocket’s goofy disguises would actually work! 🤣

Damn, after seeing you guys reacting to the Scarlet and Violet DLC trailer, I learned that you were at least familiar with Pokémon. But you guys reacting to the first movie was definitely something I never would’ve expected! And congrats on Boom for taking your first steps into a larger world. The world of Pokémon! Reacting to all the other 19 films would definitely be awesome though if y’all were legit serious about it.

You guys need to force Boom to watch the Sabrina Gym arc from the Kanto region. That arc was one of the best of pokemon. You can hop into it without watching the earlier episodes and it is amazing. His reaction to all the creepy stuff in it will be fantastic.

boom’s inexperience with pokémon made this a JOY to watch with you guys!!!! i laughed til i cried, and then i just straight cried. probably the greatest time i’ve had watching you, and i LOVE your channel

dude... boom not knowing ANYTHING about Pokemon made this a *LEGENDARY* reaction lmao

The Power of One, Pokémon 4 Ever, Jirachi Wish Maker, Lucario & the Mystery of Mew, Pokémon Ranger & the Temple of the Sea, & Rise of Darkrai all made me cry, I really hope y'all react to all the movies!

Well this was a surpise but a welcomed one. Please do Pokemon 2000 and Pokemon 3 as well, they were my childhood movies ❤‍🔥

51:00 Boom’s reaction to things new or semi new to him almost never disappoint 👌🤣😂

I'm a huge Pokemon-Fan since day 1, I freakin' couldn't stop laughing while watching you react to it!! 😂😂😂

Fun fact. In the Japanese version. Mew was actually REALLY cruel. Childlike, but cruel. They made him more cute for the english version.

I believe there is 3 known Pokémon who can talk, Mewtwo, Meowth, and Lucario!

I watched every pokemon movie up through Darkrai, and they managed to get me crying every freaking time. They’re well worth the watch, I’d love to see you guys react to more!

Dragonite is probably inspired off of a Korean Myth of a creature called an Imugi. The Imugi spends 1000 years as a humble little water serpent and waits for a jewel to drop to it from Heaven which if it catches the jewel as it falls then they will transform into a true Dragon. It's very similar to the Chinese myth of the Carp scaling a Waterfall to turn into a Dragon

The Japanese version has an entire extra scene at the start that shows more of Mewtwo's backstory. I think you should be able to find it on KZfaq, if so I'd really recommend checking it out. Also if you're doing Pokémon, any chance of Digimon? The latest series Ghost Game is pretty awesome and could do with more love XD

I would love to see you guys react to the Pokémon xy anime because it is actually really good and I think yall would enjoy it (plus you don't need any prior knowledge of the anime to watch it you can just get into it)

Man I really would love to see you guys go through the movies in order. I think boom will die of laughter from some of the absurdity of them!

Wow! As a kid I never realized how dark the Mewtwo lab scene was. He literally killed those scientists! And if you listen closely @28:50 you can actually hear the scientist dying screams in the recording! 💀

This is so hilarious I hope you guys go throw all the movies. It's going through my childhood year by year.

In one episode of the first season, our favorite trio, Team Rocket, goes back to the HQ, and they manage to see Mewtwo escaping, they hurry and see Giovanni on the ground, but he gives no mind of Mewtwo escaping. And in the previous episode, Gary arrives to the pokémon gym Giovanni runs and it happens like in the movie, he beats all of Giovanni's pokémon until he brings out Mewtwo in his armor and he gets destroyed.

The film that gives up on itself. Huge revelations about how fighting is bad and we should live together in peace and happiness. Immediately after there's a memory wipe so everyone forgets the message and can go on fighting for money or whatever.

Still such an emotional movie. This was a very engaging video! Thank you!
