Pokemon: I Choose You! PKMN 20th Movie Discussion

I thought it was going to be a retelling too! I was like 'Okay...grumpy Pikachu...Ho-Oh...Ash...nice-OH MY GOD WHAT THE HECK?!' I'm really exited to see Marshadow in the movie, and I'm really stoked for the 20th movie! I mean, perfect. It better be good! I'm guessing Lillie and Gladion (yay!) will have a part to play (in Gira speak: they BETTER be in the movie or angry letters will start), because it's about Alola, and maybe they'll tie into the whole Aether storyline? That would be pretty cool. Never going to happen, but maybe Marshadow will give us info on Mohn's past.
Yes, even in an innocent movie trailer review, I'm bringing it back to my insane conspiracy theories...

This is not what I expected and does disappoint me. I liked the idea and when I saw piplup I thought Dawn would be returning but afraid not. I just don't understand what is going on really with it, like the companions are weird and who is that old guy?! At first, I thought it was old ash but it can't be, can it? This is looking weird and almost sloppy like with the story telling especially with Pikachu disobeying Ash again.

 

I'm super excited for this! I agree with cad though, I wanted a return for Dawn!! Or even brock... I think the old dude is actually a older ash..How that will work? I have no clue!I also think its cool that there will be Pokémon from other generations in it!! I'm hyped to say the least haha.

 

I actually do like this retelling. I like that they are bringing new things to the table for their 20th anniversary. I was so excited when they decided to bring Pokémon from other regions into this movie. Honestly I can't wait to see this movie...they changed so many things around it makes me wonder how this movie is going to go.

 

Wait, so this is not the beginning of Ash's journey? Dang, I was really hoping that we would see Misty. but I guess I had my hopes up and I shouldn't have...

 

I honestly thought the old guy was a Herdier with a hat....

Anyway moving on, I like the idea with this movie, as movies are never canon with the series I've always wanted them to experiment more with the movies and it looks like they're going to do it by combining all the different gens. Plus Ho-oh coming to Ash's aid, is this a trick by making it appear when Incineroar attacked or will it actually come to his aid during that battle? Perhap's we'll see Ash work with a legendary in battle like he did with Lugia?

My biggest question though is how this'll impact the rest of the movies later down the line, will this be a one-off special with all these different characters or will the movies become a longer separate story from the anime like the games. Kinda' excited for the movie now which I wasn't before.
