@timgoed99 I like Pokemon and I like His Pokemon Nostlagic Review
I like the First movie, but the only Part I find it kinda Dumb is when all Pokemon Start Tearing to Revive Ash, ya I know it's sad, but Find it Cliche.
@plants305 I know, I always loved the pokemon games evennow I love them but I always hated the cartoon (it's not an anime because it's not based on a manga) for me, the movie it's not so bad as the critic describe it, the draws and the animations are fantastic, but I agree whit him at 2:54 even as a child I tough that was ridicolous, Pokemon it's based on figthing!!
The first movie is bad when looking back at it. But to a kid who played the shit out of the pokemon games, well, the movie was the shit. I really enjoyed this review since it was about something I am actually nostalgic towards
I'm aware this movie is horrible. That said, this was painful and almost a weak review simply because half of it seemed to consist of him complaining because he clearly didn't do his homework on the subject matter which might not be so bad...if not for the fact he knows what's going on with most of the other stuff he reviews. Here he sounds less like a funny reviewer and more like that old guy saying he doesn't understand kids these days. That and, he didn't make a whole lot of jokes.
@Arc13 I don't want to come across as a fanboy, I like Pokemon, but nowhere near as much as most do(I've played 4 of 5 gens, only really remember 3 of them, only 2 I even played at the proper time/order). I just feel like there were better things to point out. About the best thing he could point out to me was Mew. I always felt Mew was a little retarded(I know they were shooting for playful, but with the expressions, it failed miserably)and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
I used to like Pokemon but really it's kinda Fucked up saying that violence is bad when the whole series is based on violence its like call of duty saying its bad to fight
Hey fans, take it easy. Is just a comedy. I mean, when I saw this movie, I liked pokemon. Now I'm 26 and I don't give a crap about pokemon. This is just funny and I mean, is not like the NC is disrespecting you. Don't take it personal, enjoy the critic or don't watch it.
Part one removed from a copyright complaint from ShoPro? Apparently reviewing a film now counts as copyright infringement. Fucking youtube :P I could see if Nostalgia Critic put in a claim since someone else uploaded it, but the company who distributes the anime for Nintendo? Really? Besides, 4kids held the licensing rights when this movie came out in the US which seems to be the version he's reviewing :P
Even though he is sorta right about the "fighting is wrong is hypocritical" thing, I think there's another way of looking at it. What I think they're trying to get at is that Pokemon shouldn't be fighting for the reasons Mewtwo wants them to fight. It's not going to prove anything and it's not why they fight in the show. In the show, Pokemon fight to both learn about each other and get stronger and it rarely goes as far as trying to destroy each other like in this movie. But that's just my view.
Jic there are some who at a confused as the critic.... In the movie they are talking about the extent of the violence.... In the show they just do it till one of them passes out ( more or less) not till they die.
In the English version, Mew gives a speech about how real strength comes from the heart, whereas in the Japanese version, Mew declares that all unnatural life (ie, clones) are inferior to the originals, and thus should perish. (Okay I will give 4kids that one, that one needed to be changed. What kind of message is that to kids?)
I looked it up and 4Kids completely changed not only the dialogue, but the message the Pokemon Movie had in the Japanese version! The Japanese version instead portrays Mewtwo as a confused being who cannot place himself among other living beings, so his stress of not being able to figure any of that out leads to his destruction of the laboratory on New Island and Team Rocket's new base, and eventually, his plan to get revenge on the world to prove he should be alive. (continued in next post)
Man, I cried too, and years later when I played the DVD of the movie to show my younger siblings (who sadly weren't born in the 90s) how awesome Pokemon was, I cried again X3
obviously this guys a total fuckhead you cant appreciate these films if u watched this show when u were little only be a nostalgia critic to something that is nostalgic to him what a faggot.. fail
Pokemon was never my thing and you probably have to invest in it to enjoy it, but from a technical standpoint Pokemon sums up everything that is wrong about japanese anime.
LOL this made me LOL . But the part where Ash died @3:15 had me bawling when he petrified. LOL that reminds me of Tangled when Rapunzel cried over Eugene's dead body.
The NC really has no right to bash this show. At the beginning of his full review (wherever part 1 is), he claimed he never watched the anime before. The only reason he reviewed this movie is because his fans asked for it. Word of advice: if you've never watched the show version and have nothing good to say, then don't say anything at all.
@MewLuvr43 - Basically he is a MOVIE critic also. Soooo..... he pretty much has the right to bash any movie that doesn't allow any REAL explanations. Usually in movies, you don't need prior knowledge about show itself. Hell even NEWBIES who watched transformers movie! And Optimus pretty much explained "who they really ARE" as the story progresses. For pokemon movie.... well... Doug pretty much summarizes it xD. At first Mew is cool, but guess WHAT! there are THOUSANDS of POKEMON NOW.
@MewLuvr43 No right? Of course he has a right to review this. That's like saying Twilight haters of the movies can't give reviews just because they haven't read the books. Learn some common sense before looking like an idiotic and oblivious fan, please.
i liked this movie, and i know the the NC is just taking parts out of context, but that is what i love about him, i loved this review it made me laugh for hours. and without further adeau

The idea behind Mew is he was supposedly the world's most powerful pokemon for thousands of years. This is why his character is so playful and disconnected- he views the world benevolently, but subservient, somewhat how a small child views his favorite bear or toy railroad.
hmm... actually that could have made him an absolutely horrifying character, sort of a Zeus meets Willy Wonka. Now THAT would have been a good movie!
I thought Troll in Central Park had the worst life lesson, but no this "Crying to bring people back to life?" Hands down that is just . . . . . . . .crazy . . . . . stupid . . and . . . really childish.
Fighting is not bad, it depends on the reason for which you are fighting. the lesson was total baloney and so was this movie. I love how the bad guys are not really bad guys lol.
I liked the show when I was young,but it got old and too repetitive for my liking. The games were fun back in the day but this movie and Ashes stupidity turned me off form pokemon the show.
Pokémon was awesome! Probably still is, though now there are more episodes than I care to watch.
Half the charm with this movie was that mewtwo had his appearance/appearances earlier in the TV-series and we got to see him in Giovanni's care etc, so it was kind of a hype built up around him. That and he was the coolest Pokémon you could get in the blue/red gameboy games (except for possibly the original mew, #151, but he wasn't obtainable by normal means)
A lot of these points I can agree with, but it kind of makes me sad knowing that this is the kind of stuff I grew up with. Watching this review made me tempted to watch the whole movie over and I did. And you know what? I liked it. Even though it was bad, I still enjoyed it. It's probably just because I grew up with it. Seriously though was it that bad?
Guys, the reason that the NC didn't like the movie was because he didn't grow up with pokemon and the movie didn't really do a good job of explaining what was going on for the uninitiated. And the movie did get a little overly preachy.
@Blaaz101 Die off? Pokemon Black and White sold more than any other Nintendo game ever made. Second only to the original super mario bros. Another fun fact that pokemon in Japan is just as popular as it was in the 90's here. Pokemon still has all their movies still put into theaters there. Think it even has its own channel. Pokemon isn't dying anytime soon.
Okay, maybe not in Japan, but you have to admit that here in the US it's nowhere near as popular as it used to be. There are a number of nintendo video game series that are popular in Japan and have had little impact outside of Japan. Pokemon was originally one of those series, before it exploded into other countries, and it could become one of those series again someday. But, I guess technically it's in no danger of dying out, so I apologize for my incorrect assertion.
@Blaaz101 Yeah, and if you observe, you'll see that new generations grow into pokemon. Earlier this month the U.S put the latest poekmon in select theaters and alot of people came. So pokemon is still very strong in this country, even though it's not booming like it did in the 90's.
True. And I guess that, even though they've been sticking to the same formula, they have added new content. I actually thought that they had run out of ideas after Diamond and Pearl, but Black and White proved me wrong. I'd still like them to change it up a little, but the games are still good and still reasonably popular, so I guess you're right.
I am PROUD to say that I still love Pokemon! (the old version, the new version sucks) When my friends played with stuffed animals and tea sets I was collecting Pokemon cards! The movie came to theaters when I was 4 and when Ash turned to stone, I was crying and begging my mom to take me home XD
While Nostalgia Critic bashes all of my favorite movies from the 90s, I do see his point a lot of the time. (Fans of the Doug Cartoon, steer clear of NC's "Doug's 1st Movie" review!)
@CaitlynBarone I'm a fan of a LOT of stuff he bashes, or at least I'm a fan of what I remember, and I have never been pissed at his verdict. For instance, Inspector Gadget was the shit to me growing up, and his view was hilarious. The secret is to not take everyone's opinions, particularly one's own, too seriously.
The reason why Pokemon the Movie sucked for many (it did sucked for me)...4 Kids and the rewriting of the script, because in the original version Ash stayed dead and in fact Mewtwo even tried to bring the daughter of one of the cientist that created him (as explained that he loved ehr as a sister or something like that in a removed scene) by cloning her, adn Misty was supposed to raise her after Ash death.
Actually to be honest pokemon does not have any sense at all.
I was mostly raised on marvel comics super heroes and I'm very proud of that.Nice patriotism from Cap America, cool ideas from Iron Man, great jekyll and mr hyde story in a shape of incredible Hulk and of course great lessons from Spider-Man, not mentioning acceptation issuses between men vs mutants in x-men, and a bit of mythology in Thor.,,and so on.
What pokcket monsters gave us ? Just empty pockets.
@maxtull21 Even if you are all grown, pokemon hold a special place in your heart. Besides, the movie was only hypocritical because the americans had to change the plot. The japanese version had a more graphic and cruel storyline for American children. Japanese kids are more mature than American kids. In the jap version, the moral of the story and motives of the characters were much different. Besides, pokemon always had a plot. Catch as many pokemon as u can, train them and compete wit the best
@maxtull21 It's not hypocritical, not the original version. Besides you ass, in this version, they never said that battling as a sport was wrong. They were talking about simply trying to kill eachother. Mewtwo blocked away their special powers, so they were basically fist fighting to the death. Pokemon isn't bullshit, you just can't have fun. It's your fault. And there's always going to be more pokemon, because it's one of the top selling game series.
well you claim that these battles stopped being a sport and became sensless violence when all they're explosive magical abilities were blocked, effectively rendering them all fighting/normal types. So by that logic, fighting/normal battles should be banned.
Also it was definitely a pretty harsh sport in the original games, and certainly used for combat on occasion. Surge used pokemon in war. Team rocket uses them for crime.
@waldoman7 For one, they're not magic and it would be best if you stop trying to simplify it. It's just a show based off a video game. In the Japanese version, the moral wasn't even about the fact that fighting was wrong. The Americans have their own version of the movie because the original version was too mature for American children.
don't simplify it. keep it complicated so that we might get the wrong idea about things.
...yeah no thanks. it's a simple and clear case of utter nonsense, and yes it's clear that it's largely American brand nonsense. were it japanese they'd be babbling about friendship.
I agree with your comment. However, I have to be honest, I never really liked the movies or the shows. The first movie is good, but after that...meh. And the video games, while all of them are good, I feel that lately they're getting a little stale. Some series like zelda or mario have evolved quite a bit over the years, but pokemon has kept to the exact same formula. They really need to add something new to the games, or it will eventually die off.
So basicly what you are trying to say is, fighting with powers is ok while fist fight is not?
Quite agreeable... fist fight is boring man ... we wants to see pokemon get electrocuted, burned alive and get crush by giant rocks... more pain!!
100% agree with Nostalgia Critic, the dumbass pokemon creators wanted to teach kids moral value on the negativity of violence and fighting.. but the whole series is made of violence and fighting.
@holypredator For the last freaking time, the creators didn't try and teach kids the moral of non-violence. The Japanese made this movie, and their plot of the movie were seen to be too graphic for American children. Japan has a different metric system, The American company 4kids change the script entirely in the American dub. Now pokemon is a series based on a game. It doesn't need to be that complicated, sheesh! Only the kids understand why they love it. Adults can't. That's fine
I used to loved playing the pokemon games .. Red/Blue and Yellow version... Ive spend too much money on the trading card games which i regreted now... and i would watch the series every week on TV...
Pokemon was awesome back then... yet.. i never liked the movie... i was 11 years old back then and i think it's gay and cheesy as hell..
@Dattebayo04 actually they say that the 5th generation(black and white) will be the last generation and after thats over there will be no more pokemon *tear*
@TheEastunder various websites but i read it about the time when pokemon black and white came out i could be wrong and i hope i am since how great black and white were but it would make sense since it's gone on for over 15 years and the latest pokemon designs haven't been that great(a living trashbag)
first off i respect NC but i will call him out here. pokemon DOES make sense. the movie was made for the fans. even if you never seen pokemon everyone knew the basics. shit even my parents knew and they couldnt even prenounce pokemon. this movie and pokemon 2000 were great. yes i see now that it was ironic tht pokemon taught you fighting was bad but still. as for the tears thing it was cliche but when your 10 you dont give a shit.
@runeboyz7 I've used to love Pokemon when I was a kid, but now that I'm grown up I find it very annoying and stupid because there is no plot and the series went way downhill and Nostalgia Critic's right Pokemon the First Movie is being hypocritical because it's a show that shows pokemon fighting and now it tells them that fighting is bad, BULLSHIT!!!!
This movie is bad ass. It's also corny and hypocritical to a painful degree. That we enjoyed it does not remove it's flaws. tears bringing people back to life is so absurd and cleche that even at 10 you had to really roll your eyes at how bad it was, but you watched it anyway because dammit that's friggin Mewtwo.
I just saw him do The Cell, And i got a headache, I felt confused, And my stomach hurt, Like his ending to that, And the film itself, Made NO sense! And now i feel sick!
I loved this movie as a child, and after this review (which made me laugh so hard) I still love it, because now I can laugh at all things NC pointed out and still feel nostalgic.
This was not funny at all, just a tragic made up joke...

A lot of these points I can agree with, but it kind of makes me sad knowing that this is the kind of stuff I grew up with. Watching this review made me tempted to watch the whole movie over and I did. And you know what? I liked it. Even though it was bad, I still enjoyed it. It's probably just because I grew up with it. Seriously though was it that bad?

Guys, the reason that the NC didn't like the movie was because he didn't grow up with pokemon and the movie didn't really do a good job of explaining what was going on for the uninitiated. And the movie did get a little overly preachy.

@Blaaz101 Die off? Pokemon Black and White sold more than any other Nintendo game ever made. Second only to the original super mario bros. Another fun fact that pokemon in Japan is just as popular as it was in the 90's here. Pokemon still has all their movies still put into theaters there. Think it even has its own channel. Pokemon isn't dying anytime soon.

@Dattebayo04
Okay, maybe not in Japan, but you have to admit that here in the US it's nowhere near as popular as it used to be. There are a number of nintendo video game series that are popular in Japan and have had little impact outside of Japan. Pokemon was originally one of those series, before it exploded into other countries, and it could become one of those series again someday. But, I guess technically it's in no danger of dying out, so I apologize for my incorrect assertion.
Blaaz101 2 months ago
@Blaaz101 Yeah, and if you observe, you'll see that new generations grow into pokemon. Earlier this month the U.S put the latest poekmon in select theaters and alot of people came. So pokemon is still very strong in this country, even though it's not booming like it did in the 90's.

@Dattebayo04
True. And I guess that, even though they've been sticking to the same formula, they have added new content. I actually thought that they had run out of ideas after Diamond and Pearl, but Black and White proved me wrong. I'd still like them to change it up a little, but the games are still good and still reasonably popular, so I guess you're right.
Blaaz101 2 months ago
I am PROUD to say that I still love Pokemon! (the old version, the new version sucks) When my friends played with stuffed animals and tea sets I was collecting Pokemon cards! The movie came to theaters when I was 4 and when Ash turned to stone, I was crying and begging my mom to take me home XD
While Nostalgia Critic bashes all of my favorite movies from the 90s, I do see his point a lot of the time. (Fans of the Doug Cartoon, steer clear of NC's "Doug's 1st Movie" review!)

@CaitlynBarone I'm a fan of a LOT of stuff he bashes, or at least I'm a fan of what I remember, and I have never been pissed at his verdict. For instance, Inspector Gadget was the shit to me growing up, and his view was hilarious. The secret is to not take everyone's opinions, particularly one's own, too seriously.

The reason why Pokemon the Movie sucked for many (it did sucked for me)...4 Kids and the rewriting of the script, because in the original version Ash stayed dead and in fact Mewtwo even tried to bring the daughter of one of the cientist that created him (as explained that he loved ehr as a sister or something like that in a removed scene) by cloning her, adn Misty was supposed to raise her after Ash death.

Actually to be honest pokemon does not have any sense at all.
I was mostly raised on marvel comics super heroes and I'm very proud of that.Nice patriotism from Cap America, cool ideas from Iron Man, great jekyll and mr hyde story in a shape of incredible Hulk and of course great lessons from Spider-Man, not mentioning acceptation issuses between men vs mutants in x-men, and a bit of mythology in Thor.,,and so on.
What pokcket monsters gave us ? Just empty pockets.

maxtull21 3 months ago
@maxtull21 Even if you are all grown, pokemon hold a special place in your heart. Besides, the movie was only hypocritical because the americans had to change the plot. The japanese version had a more graphic and cruel storyline for American children. Japanese kids are more mature than American kids. In the jap version, the moral of the story and motives of the characters were much different. Besides, pokemon always had a plot. Catch as many pokemon as u can, train them and compete wit the best

maxtull21 2 months ago
@maxtull21 It's not hypocritical, not the original version. Besides you ass, in this version, they never said that battling as a sport was wrong. They were talking about simply trying to kill eachother. Mewtwo blocked away their special powers, so they were basically fist fighting to the death. Pokemon isn't bullshit, you just can't have fun. It's your fault. And there's always going to be more pokemon, because it's one of the top selling game series.

Dattebayo04 2 months ago
@Dattebayo04
well you claim that these battles stopped being a sport and became sensless violence when all they're explosive magical abilities were blocked, effectively rendering them all fighting/normal types. So by that logic, fighting/normal battles should be banned.
Also it was definitely a pretty harsh sport in the original games, and certainly used for combat on occasion. Surge used pokemon in war. Team rocket uses them for crime.
waldoman7 2 months ago
@waldoman7 For one, they're not magic and it would be best if you stop trying to simplify it. It's just a show based off a video game. In the Japanese version, the moral wasn't even about the fact that fighting was wrong. The Americans have their own version of the movie because the original version was too mature for American children.
Dattebayo04 2 months ago
@Dattebayo04
don't simplify it. keep it complicated so that we might get the wrong idea about things.
...yeah no thanks. it's a simple and clear case of utter nonsense, and yes it's clear that it's largely American brand nonsense. were it japanese they'd be babbling about friendship.

Dattebayo04 2 months ago
@Dattebayo04
I agree with your comment. However, I have to be honest, I never really liked the movies or the shows. The first movie is good, but after that...meh. And the video games, while all of them are good, I feel that lately they're getting a little stale. Some series like zelda or mario have evolved quite a bit over the years, but pokemon has kept to the exact same formula. They really need to add something new to the games, or it will eventually die off.
Blaaz101 2 months ago
@Dattebayo04
So basicly what you are trying to say is, fighting with powers is ok while fist fight is not?
Quite agreeable... fist fight is boring man ... we wants to see pokemon get electrocuted, burned alive and get crush by giant rocks... more pain!!
100% agree with Nostalgia Critic, the dumbass pokemon creators wanted to teach kids moral value on the negativity of violence and fighting.. but the whole series is made of violence and fighting.
holypredator 1 month ago
@holypredator For the last freaking time, the creators didn't try and teach kids the moral of non-violence. The Japanese made this movie, and their plot of the movie were seen to be too graphic for American children. Japan has a different metric system, The American company 4kids change the script entirely in the American dub. Now pokemon is a series based on a game. It doesn't need to be that complicated, sheesh! Only the kids understand why they love it. Adults can't. That's fine

Pokemon was awesome back then... yet.. i never liked the movie... i was 11 years old back then and i think it's gay and cheesy as hell..

ok im about to rage. here we go
first off i respect NC but i will call him out here. pokemon DOES make sense. the movie was made for the fans. even if you never seen pokemon everyone knew the basics. shit even my parents knew and they couldnt even prenounce pokemon. this movie and pokemon 2000 were great. yes i see now that it was ironic tht pokemon taught you fighting was bad but still. as for the tears thing it was cliche but when your 10 you dont give a shit.

This movie is bad ass. It's also corny and hypocritical to a painful degree.
