I just got around to watching this movie earlier today -- I kinda dropped off the Pokemon movie train some time ago, so it took me a while to catch on that the remake movies existed -- and it was so good.



I mean, some points were more than a bit confusing and not explained all that well -- like the bit where Ash died but didn't really and the one with Marshadow suddenly turning evil -- and Team Rocket felt very... tacked on, but it was a very fun movie otherwise! I loved seeing lore and Pokemon from so many generations tied together like that, the new characters were all delightful, and I always love seeing remakes alter and reinvent stories and worldbuilding from their previous iterations. I very much look forward to seeing the sequel when I will be able to, and I really hope that Verity and Sorrel will appear in some future installment again!



Heh. Sorry for the gush dump, but I'm still coming off the high I get when I finish enjoying a work I really like.
