Hi
In this topic, I am going to rate all of the pokemon movies and will tell why I have liked (or disliked) it.
First note that these are my views and they (may) differ from person to person.
These are my views after viewing all of pokemon movies.

Pokemon Movie 1:
'Pokémon the First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back'
Location: Fine and mystic Faraway Island
Good Features : Atempt as a first pokemon movie. Good explanation of emotions between the original one and the cloned one.
Bad Things: Focus on only powerful pokemons and the twerps forget the plot. And the mewtwo is too easily convinced.
Overall: Good attempt as a first movie.
My Rating: 6/10

Pokemon Movie 2:
'Pokémon the Movie 2000 - The Power of One'
Location: old good Orange Archipelago
Good Features: Ash's role is very much important. Good soundtrack. Starring of 4 legendary pokemons at a time. (Misty is Jealous )
Bad Things: The plot is easily guessable as the villain is introduced at a very early stage.
Overall: Ok. Fine attempt but fails to grab the viewers full attention.
My Rating: 5.5/10

Pokemon Movie 3:
'Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown'
Location: Beautiful and pleasent Greenfield
Good Features: Introduction to unown's world. Good description of emotions of Delia as the mother of other child.
Bad Things: Bulky and loose story. Some things are not well explained at the end.

My Rating: 4.5/10

Pokemon Movie 4:
'Pokémon 4Ever - Celebi: Voice of the Forest'
Location: Unmentioned Forest

My Rating: 7.5/10

Pokemon Movie 5:
'Pokémon Heroes'
Location: Mind blowing Alto Mare(based on Venice, Italy)
Good Features: Full of complex emotions. Nice graphics, nice story. Good songs. First ever movie based on real life location. Gives you an idea how Advanced Generation is going to be.

My Rating: 8.5/10

Pokemon Movie 6:

Location: Alamos Town (based on Barcelona, Spain)

Now I have reviewed all of them. Now post your opinions.

O_O
You have watched these movies recently haven't you?
You ratings have two major errors:
First is that since you have watched the movies recently you compare the graphics and soundtracks and plotting according to the Current technology. You forget that it is impossible to use the Graphics of Movie 12 in Movie 3. Moreover you fail to see that at that time we hade much less deeper plots, fewer Pokémon and Moves.
Second you are rating it from the view of someone who has a higher knowledge of Pokémon and not someone in 2000.

Thats all I guess.

Bad Points: Nope!

wtf?

So what is your objection?
And I dont get this: 'Second you are rating it from the view of someone who has a higher knowledge of Pokémon and not someone in 2000.'?
Sorry if I have made any mistakes.

You know the older movies may not look appealing to you but when they were launched they were as much of a senstation as their current counterparts.

Yes thats for sure.
I said I liked the celbi movie but I didnt like some of them.
And off course any Pokemon Movie is a hit and I like them all, but its a lil bit here and there.

You don't get my point...

I got it.
U want to say that at the time of older movies, there was no advance tech available so their graphix were poorer but stories were better as they used to concentrate on fewer pokemon.
Now they loose focus sometimes, but graphics are better.
But in all pokemon rocks!!

Yep thats what I mean.

I'm wondering how the 13th movie will be. Good reviews, not much of a movie critic myself since I cant see bad parts for animation movies for some reason lol.

Yes, bad points was the hardest job for pokemon movies' review.
And, am I a movie critic? No. I just wrote my opinion.
But I wrote the obvious good and bad points for the movies. Actually all of them are great. But this is slightly here and there.
Some (like you) might agree with my viewpoint, while some (like prongs) might disagree. It depends upon each one's viewpoint.
Thanks for the complement though.

Oh, no problem, I strive to encourage people I like and occasionally discourage the ones I dont like. But I like all of you guys, like Nish says, we're all family on DPF. And yes, your some sort of a movie critic event though it isnt hyper or anything lol.

Thanks.
As Nish says we are happy DPf family.
