It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Honestly this is now my favourite Pokemon series I might have grew up with Pokemon Diamond and pearl but I actually think it is good for a change that Ash is not the protagonist.This show even got me back into Pokemon although I am still a Yo Kai Watch fan but still. Its nice to actually see a pokemon dub which is not by new york/4kids and instead LA voice actors. Although I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Dee Bradley Baker or Frank Welker voice in Pokemon one day.Even though the story is familiar with the other Pokemon cartoons instead we have Red as the protagonist competing against Blue and instead of Pikatu as the main pokemon we have Charazon (I think). But we do see characters like Brock and Misty make cameos in the series.If you enjoy Pokemon and you want something different then I would recommend this.

I actually didn't know about origins until I saw it lately, When I watched it, it was amazing. To me, they should have made this a full anime, and stopped the other main series anime (that anime isn't the best, for those of you out there). Anyways, I still believe this anime deserved it's rating. Because its really, really good. For starters, the animation looks gorgeous, and the way they added in the modern use of mega evolution sealed it. It makes this anime great, just how true it is to the original games. Sure, they made obvious changes, but other than that, it stay pretty true. So, to recap, this short anime was great and true to its roots. I give this movie, a 10.10.

Pokemon Origins was a really interesting shift from the normal anime as it followed closely to the original game "Pokemon: Red Version", unlike the normal anime which follows Ash Ketchum as he explores each of the worlds featured in each of the games.However there are many issues which can not be ignored; like why does the show have to ignore sections of the storyline featured in the game such as the gym leader battles. I mean some people (including me) may have had there most memorable experiences with those gym leaders.Another bad point would be that the lack of relation to in game battles, now I don't necessarily mean turn-based because who wants to watch that, but more realistic battles. Like when Red and Giovanni battled how did both Pokemon get knocked out...Finally it's got to be "Mega Charizard", firstly why? I haven't played the later games yet, however that shouldn't matter considering the series is based on the original game, right?The redeeming qualities however were the nice nostalgic hints such as the sound effects which mimicked that of the games and the music which was of a nice homage to the original music. The animation was quite nice too, it was a revamped version of the anime, much like the Pokemon movies.Overall I quite enjoyed the show, It got on my nerves from time to time, but overall pretty solid. 7/10

I'd like to think of myself as an Animation connoisseur, and this is definitely a work of art. I've loved the game ever since I was a kid, but that being aside the animation in this series is astounding. Let's be honest, the regular Pokémon show is a lot of things, but animation is not a strong point. The characters are static and choppy. And even in the intense scenes they don't quite give you the level of excitement it should deserve. But this show is different. The camera moves with the Pokémon in battle. The Pokémon have weight, they move around believably. They move, bend, stretch, you can see tension in their muscles. I found myself being really drawn in. You just got excited! It made Pokémon so much more real to me, which in any animation is a good thing. Seeing Charizard like that makes me fall in love with Pokémon all over again. Here's a spoiler: look forward to that last scene with Mewtwo. It's AMAZING!I also loved the little changes they made, like giving Pokemon real animal sounding cries instead of just saying their name. The only thing stopping me from putting a 10 on it was story. I loved the story, but it still felt like a regular Pokémon story sometimes. I loved how they kept it with the game though!They gotta make more like this!
