"The First Movie"?? "THE FIRST MOVIE!?!?" What the hell??
Okay, let me start from the beginning. It took me a while to find this movie, not because it's rare, but because there are so MANY ****ING SEQUELS IT'S NOT EAST TO FIND THE FIRST ONE. After about half-an-hour o searching, I found the first movie, which is LITERALLY called "Pokemon: THE FIRST MOVIE".
What the hell is THAT? That's like if they called the first ord of the rings "Lord of the Rings: don't worry we're going to have a SH*T LOAD OF SEQUELS!"
it's BULLSH*T! Now, to be honest, I wasn't much a Pokemon guy when I was growing up.
I as more into the video game (SEGA) category. I have some decent knowledge of what the whole deal behind Pokemon is, so don't worry, I'm not writing blind.

THIS IS THE WORST ***KING MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
It sucks @$$, it sucks balls, it just... SUCKS!
Okay... fr those of you unaware of the "genius" plot of Pokemon, here's the general story. (I don't know the exact story, so here's my generalization)
Pokemon are basically creatures that you capture in some strange balls and you make fight eachother. But the balls turn big when you catch one, and small so they can fit in your pocket. So why didn't they just call them Pocket monsters? It would make a lot more... wait a second
Pokemon = Pocket Monster
You've GOT to be kidding.
Ok,ok back to the review. So there are these scientists looking for the ultimate pokemon (mew, who we will get to later). And other scientists are making a CLONE of Mew. What do they call it? Mewtwo...
Nevermind, so it goes to our main characters, Ash, Misty, and Brock. Typical anime characters in my opinion. Anyway, they get an invetation to a tournament (psst, it's a trap), but unfotunantly can't go due to an extremely unrelated scene of a hurrican that randomly pops up. WTF... So Jessy, James, and Meowth (our gay badguys)
dress up as, um, vikings...
to sail them across. They of course make it in a really bad scene where the boat tips over and they have to use pokemon to swim across, again, IN A HURRICANE.
They get to the tournament and, like i said, it's a trap. Mewtwo captures the pokemon, makes clones of them, and uses them for some sh*t like, you guessed it, destoying the world because he's to emo to realize what we will talk about later.
Ash saves the pokemon (the originals) and the Pokemon/Pokemon clones fight to the death. B*tch slapping, tackling, and punching. you know, FOR KIDS. During all this madness, Ash makes a STUNNING realization.
"Fighting must be... bad"
Bravo Ash, you finally conjured up the brains to figure it out.
They keep saying sh*t like "fighting is BAD" "DON'T FIGHT" yadayadayada blahblahblah. They keep going on, and on for about an hour until Mew shows up. But here's the thing, Mew is mentally retarded, and NOT in the good way. They are of course, equal and Ash (being the SMART one that he is) jumps right in the middle of two beams. Unfortunatly, he didn't die, he just got turned into a statue. :(
All the Pokemon cry and... oh god, don't tell me. They ARE, they're using their tears of unfathomable sadness to bring him back to life...
WHAT A LOAD! is that what you want to teach your kid!? That if a loved one dies, you just have to cry hard enough to bring him back!? What if they did that in the Lion King? They would have ONE MOVIE. Well, he get's up and Mewtwo stops being Emo, takes his clones and get's the hell out. WHAT AN ENDING.
Ugh, I'm F*cking done watching this movie
I'm the CinemaCritic, I review it so YOU don't have to watch it
