Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

You won't be disappointed!

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Onto movie two of the Pokemon marathon! If you need backstory, read my review of the first movie.The Good: Might be a little odd to mention, since I didn't mention it in the first movie, but I liked the soundtrack pretty decently. However this should go without saying for that one.We also get to see the series' main antagonists, which in nearly all the movies are pushed aside to PURE humor, show their good side in this movie to the point where they actually help the Protagonist multiple times in a selfless way. This leads to a nice little scene at the end where the pokemon Slowking breaks the fourth wall a little bit.The Bad: The antagonist wasn't explained that well and wasn't that intimidating. This is a theme that seems to happen after the first movie, which did so very well with the antagonist. I can't remember the guy's name (He was that forgettable) but as with all Human antagonists in Pokemon he relies heavily on technology to deal with his evil deeds. His plane, ship, thing was the only thing making him a threat. What happens to it? Lugia, a Water-Psycic Legendary Bird, takes the whatever it was down in one Hyper Beam.The Ugly: Once again nothing bad enough to be ugly. Maybe to add detail what classifies as ugly is something that gets repetitive or a character is actually annoying.So overall this is another must watch for Pokemon fans of all ages!

Pokemon 2000 is the second installment in the Pokemon film series, and is very probably the best. The writing, storyline, and animation are all markedly improved from The First Movie, and it really does feel like a cinematic experience. The only thing wrong with it at all is that the Pikachu short film seemed like an excuse to show off some new Pokemon, without having much of a real reason (it's still good, though). Now, if you haven't read countless summaries already, here's the plot in a nutshell...Wiiiieeeerd stuff is happening all over the world. Climates and temperatures are changing at an alarmingly rapid pace, sometimes going from summer heat to snow in under a minute! The cause of this is a Pokemon collector who is trying to capture the four elemental Pokemon: Zapdos, Articuno, Motres, and ultimately Lugia. His wicked misdeeds are causing nature to go completely out of whack, and it's up to Ash, Misty, Tracey, and Pikachu to find the Elephant In The Room and set things right again.Even from a summary, it's apparent that Pokemon 2000 is more than an extended episode of the show. In fact, even without the short, it's still easily feature length, and that's more than can be said for The First Movie (which had a runtime of 74 minutes). It may not be an edge-of-your-seat, unpredictable story in the vein of Inception, but it's a satisfying and entertaining one. This is helped along by the dialogue, which is some of the sharpest I've yet seen in Pokemon. There are many memorable bits in here, not few of which involve Team Rocket.In conclusion, I recommend watching it, even if you're not a die-hard fan of the series. Unless Pokemon Heroes knocks my socks off, I think it's safe to say that 2000 is the best of the bunch. (Oh, and before I finish this review, I want to whine about something. Once again, there is either no widescreen version available on video, or it's very hard to find. Boo, Warner Bros, BOO.)

I recently watched this again and there's another version which is shorter 1999. I get the feeling they are the same movie but I would like to know the difference.One is Japanese and no pikachu short is all I can come up with. Ohtherwise why vote for the same movie twice?? Prof Ivy was rather boring. She sounded as if she was almost asleep, no expression at all with the few lines she had.This was enjoyable enough but there wasn't much to it at all. A collector (whos after Lugia, he has no plan to destroy the world) and the usual characters who try to stop him because trying to capture Lugia causes a lot of destruction.The pokemon movies that follow are slightly better, deoxys (poke 7) is great, with no. 8 almost here.

People should Stop Talking trash about this excellent movie. There is adventure and action, comic situations, good morals, adorable characters (PIKACHU & TOGEPI), beautiful animation, super script, suspenseful events, and everything you can think of that makes an all around great movie, even better. It is also a great way to inspire children that they can make a difference, no matter when times are hard. It Also influences kids That friends are the most powerful tool of all, and can help you when you are down, and out. Very, very cool, and Very, Very Exciting. To simply sum up my point, BOTH KIDS AND PARENTS WILL BOTH ENJOY THIS MOVIE!!!!
