i figure that it about time i let this one out . pokémon fan be suffer in america these day . why . because we rely on kid wb and 4kids entertainment to provide u with our beloved series and movie . as far a the series go and they do a pretty good job in bring the fun and magic of the japanese version to television . so what be their problem when it come to the movie . honestly now and i have see all three pokémon movie in japanese and i will definitely be see the fourth one . they be excellent movie . they be all enjoyable and fun to watch . and and after see pokémon 2000 in theater and i can not help but wonder how these american producer read the japanese script . the way it appear and it seem that they read and see something that say ` insert empty moral here in big bold face letter . it definitely appear that way a they use the same wonderful dub method they use on msb ( extreme sarcasm there ) and create this crap . possible spoiler from here onwell and i guess i should first talk about pikachu rescue adventure . my first gripe with this come with no narration . i guess they get enough bad comment on the pokédex narration that plague pikachu vacation and and and instead of go with a caring and gentle woman voice a appear in pikachu no natsu yasumi and pikachu tankentai and they just cut the narration all together . this wouldn not have be a problem and except for one thing . do anyone really understand why the exeggcute do not let togepi go until the end . possibly the fan and but i be sure not the parent . then and there the theme song . i couldn not help but roll my eye at this one . the japanese theme song be ` tankentai wo tsukurou and be sing by japanese child . it be fun and enjoyable . this one represent nauseating . now and one of my favorite part of the short be the dancing kireihana . nice music and fun to watch . that change with the bellossom . the music suck for one and but on top of that and they have all the pokémon talk during the music and which turn out to be jumpy and annoying and and just unnecessary . oh and and then there the poliwhirl who think he a poliwrath . you would think that guy that work with these character constantly would at least learn what they be . basically and not much could save this little ill fat dub and which be very unfortunate consider it potential . but and i haven not touch on the bad of it yet . you would think that the warning sign would have be apparent to me when i receive my issue of nintendo power . for some unfathomable reason and i have be place some faith in 4kids and the wb . my thought be ` well and they screw up on the first movie and but the second be different as far a the theme go and so they should do well . that in mind and i just do not pay attention to the warning sign i encounter in the theater when the trailer say and ` you will believe that one person can make all the difference . with the way they say that at every turn and i be hop that this would not turn into a moral fest like msb do at the end of the english version . then come nintendo power and in which i see all my fear realize in the word ` the main feature the power of one . at that point and i become a bit more uneasy . ` the power of one . not a good sign . however and i still keep some of my false faith . big mistake . sit in the theater and i be literally get stomach cramp watch another movie which i love in japanese be turn into complete and utter junk . i hear comment that say it be well because the moral be more subtle . i can see a point in that since they do not pander this thing and repeat it over and over like in msb . however and it do more damage than anything else in this movie . first of all and the legend that be read throughout be change a bit to read ` the world turn to ash . ah hah . so and ash be the chosen one . whatever . in the japanese version and the inhabitant of arshia need a pokémon trainer to carry out their traditional ceremony . this time and he the chosen one . a great way that this do damage be to lugia . lugia be one of the cool character in a pokémon movie . when the movie be about lugia . in this one and lugia be force to take a back seat to ash . in the scene where theyre fly back to the main island and lugia and ash be discuss the condition of lugia existence and not that ash be go to make all the difference . overall in this category and ash wasn not really the ` one person that would make the difference and since he be help by many along the way . a lot of the other stuff be kind of nit picking . furura flute song wasn not nearly a sweet and enjoyable a the japanese one . jirarudan speech to them say his collection tarted with a mew card . ugh . even bad and misty outrage originally concern the way moltres and zapdos be be hold . ` why do not you put them in pokéballs when you catch them . this be like cage them to be display . much different from whine about him think pokémon be thing to be collect like stamp . if there be any real redeeming value in this and they come from team rocket . some pretty funny line . not really to make me laugh out loud and but more to make me giggle and slightly ease the pain in my stomach . well and that be officially the last american pokémon movie i be go to see . i have import the third one and find it very enjoyable . i would rather not see another japanese movie be ruin in the same fashion a the first two . i will be import the fourth one as well . forget you and kid wb and 4kids . you have forsake me for the last time .
