Newer how so? Or rather, at what point do the "new" movies start for you? In my case, I think we started to _really_ get some lackluster movies in Gen 5. I'm curious to see when you think it started to go bad.

Chaotix although I admittedly have not seen all the movies, for me they started to drop in quality at Arceus and the Jewel of Life. It's not the worst thing ever or anything, tho.

Chaotix Pokemon 2000 is shit, tho.

Nah men, agter the return of mewtwo everything was shit, only pokemon mewtwo, pokemon 2000, the unknown and the return of mewtwo were real movies

Tord Markus Birkeland Jakobsen It's meant for kids. I remember very clearly that none of the kids in the cinema thought it was shit and that's what matters.

Hawk Talon Hauntingly beautiful.

Hawk Talon yes

So weird for a pokemon movie though

I still don't get why everything turned to crystal. But it was soooooo coooool. I wanted to reach into the screen and take a piece of it.

​@@RedMoonbow4921I'm assuming it was what molly imagined

I'm sobbing thanks

Even as an adult man, I have always found Molly Hale to be one of the most relatable fictional characters of all. Walking around in a massive glass prison, knowing that the people you love are out there somewhere, but never knowing exactly where, or how they feel, or even if they would recognize your face when they see you. Knowing that there are so many people in your vicinity who are surrounded by love's embrace every day, and feeling the powerlessness of not having it yourself. This character is a lot deeper and darker than one would immediately realize from a first impression.

Hi, 5 years late, I don't care. What on earth made you think she was abandoned? Her mom went missing, and Spencer spent his work looking for clues to her disappearance. Then he was gone and all Molly wanted wasn't to escape, but to have her family back. The world the Unown made wasn't so she could get away, it was a little girl's fanciful dreamland, the only place the parents she imagined could exist.

@@selenopheria in the original Japanese version Molly's mom actually left her dad because he had become to obsessed with the unown.

@@fungi265 Ew. At least she came back.

Man old pokemon movies really were great... I can't recall any of the modern pokemon movies tackling any deep themes and yes that's not a requirement by any means. But I can feel the passion and creativity in these movies unlike any other, they're more than just pokemon movies. And much more than the "just another pokemon movies" of today.

Oh, I didn't know that! Where do they mention this? Do you have a link or something?

I don't want to believe anything, I want to see the movie as I remebember it.

Dude can I friend you just for your name?

awww, that's such a touching story!

This is still my favorite pokemon movie because the story was so emotionally charged, everyone had something to lose if the other gained, but ultimately, Molly made the biggest sacrifice by allowing Entei to go away and she was essentially saying good bye to the father she thought she lost, sure in the credits the father is back and she eventually gets her own tediursa pokemon and possibly a new stepmom, because we wanted her to have a happy ending she deserved it, if she didn't she would have been the most tragic character in pokemon to date...

I agree

I wish they were still like this in modern.

Pokémon 2000 and The First movie we’re better

Not everything has to be the BEST. Just say you like it omg

ti be honest is one of those pokemon movies that actually feels like a movie and not a 1 hour and 20 minutes long episode

That's for sure.

Believe me man i feel the same :D

Hitomi miju EXACTLY!! The movies don't really feel like movies anymore. More like specials, like you say. I really think the movies have lacked plot since the DP saga.

MunlaxMaster they should take their precious time to make the movies and rush them

+Maya Patel Not at all true, the most recent movie in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages captures the internal struggle quite well. However, I do agree that the more recent movies have not been able to match the quality of the originals.

Except the one with Manaphy. God.... That one...

i love every pokemon movie from mewtwo to darkrai everything after that just doesnt do it for mr especially the one with keldeo i hated that movie

+otis cunningham hey, kyurem was pretty cool in that movie xD

The fights were cool the story wasnt

That makes her coming back in the credits make more sense.

very simlar who what happened to Dr Fuji,mewtwo's creator,in the fisrt movie.Her wife left him because he couldnt move on after their daughter Amber's death

Yeah, I want to go back to those times. Being an adult sucks but we get to relive these what do the kids of today relive

Aw that’s sad 😢

What the movie was about its about a little girl named Molly when her father told her she was gonna come back to do some discovering and figuring of how her wife went missing then he disappeared and Molly started crying cuz she didn't have any parents and she felt lonely and if I was her I would feel the same way cuz I love my parents then she spelled the letters of the unknown the puzzle then the legendary Pokemon antei appeared making her wish come true from her dreams

bryan benitez gasss

This comment’s amazing

Don't forget the unown.

+Gera WallStar well a antogonist doesnt have to be a villian, it just has to be someone who uposes the proganist. Molly is prob somewhat of a anti-villian at most.

Well the Unown wasn't really an antagonist either. They just automatically work in the way that they make dreams into an alternate reality, and with all of Molly's emotions going into her dreams, the Unown lost control over their own power.

Gera WallStar *the spell of the unown*

An antagonist is someone who opposes the protagonist. They’re not always evil. Molly wanted a mom so she took the closest mother figure she could find, and that would be Ash’s mom. Ash didn’t want his mom taken away, and Molly didn’t want her only mother figure to be taken away either. They basically opposed each other.

Oh my god yes

@@StarfireVR Sun face

Concuerdo contigo, Mi infancia esta en esas 3 películas. Las mejores de todo Pokemon!! :,)

Mine are mostly the same. My top 3 favorites are from third to first: Destiny Deoxys, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and Spell of the Unown. So many powerfull and sad moments, especially in Spell of the Unown. I remember seeing it in theaters with my dad when it came out. I don't think I was able to completely understand it back then (I was 5 in 2001 after all), but it has always been my favorite since that day. :3

I don’t think anyone else could have done a better Father and Entei for Molly than him. He sounds fatherly towards in a loving way towards her as the professor and keeps that tone with some protectiveness as Entei

​@@Rosegirl398 I agree

I hope things get better. Just stick ur chin up wen everyone tells u to look down. U r stronger than anything those bastards can throw

I am so sorry for your loss and I know these mere words cannot change the past, but I hope in the present you are doing well and life has dealt you some better cards as it were, your words here make me sad, but to you let this post from the past be that the past, and your future is looking bright. Loosing a loved one is so hard, and though time heals all wounds they leave scars in their place as a gentle reminder that you have gone through so much, but through it all you come out stronger if not a little worse for wear. I hope this message reaches you and may this song of the past bring you comfort when you are feeling down or when you are in need of it.

Hello. I'm sorry for your losses. I hope you are doing well.

gone with the jewel of life

Solar Motion Studios True, many pokemon movies don't have the emotional magic like this movie and mewtwo strikes back does

Yukito Aoi Solar Motion Studios Right. I feel like all the pokemon movies after sinnoh's one became bad as fuck.

Solar Motion Studios They don't hold the emotional attachment anymore, look at this song for example, it is serene, beautiful, there is a hint of child like wonder. yet all this is foreshadowed by sadness and loss. Pokemon in the day told real life stories but hid them in a colourful wrapper. After all loss of family though many of us would hate to think about it happening at such a young age like Molly's it does happen. The lost of friendship in Pokemon the movie and the threat of the world as we know it, in Pokemon 2000. All the way up to Pokemon Genesect, possibly earlier I don't know have lost that magical, beautiful and most importantly emotional power that old movies had. Probably due to crappy new views. "Oh we can't harm the little ones, we should protect them" type of thoughts where as we had Life is Shit deal with it

;_;

I really like this idea towards Pokemon of yours. It's like the pokemons and their behaviors are more like different natures we never seen before, not some edgy war of monsters and only meant for fighting.

i love my friend 😃😃😃😃😃

happy 😃♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

relax😃😃😃😃😃💋💋💋💋

present ♥️♥️♥️

Molly: the original Elsa.

But yet, it all happened so suddenly and she's still a child... What can you expect a child to react during such a sudden situation?

@@TheWillikids I was making a Frozen joke dude.

Shayminthedoctor The manaphy and Lucario movie were good after 5 if you watched. May forms a motherly bond with Manaphy and has to learn to let it go free as a kid you don't get it. It is more impactful as an adult. Meanwhile you see Lucario getting over trust issues and the death of a loved one. I do agree though. Rest of movies are a bit meh.

When Ash meet the Entei in newer movies and doesn't remember at all I was like ？@*#s@！？

Molly was a very lonely girl so you may wanna keep an eye on that if she reminds you of your sister

+mekuro12 I said classmate, not sister, but it doesn't matter anymore, she is out of my life.
