"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Wise words to live by from a very powerful legendary Pokémon.
Fun Fact: Despite Pokémon only saying their name in the anime, Pikachu exclusively says "Pika Pi" when specifically referring to Ash. So while Pikachu was starting to cry, he was saying, "Ash...Ash..." .
Watching the pokemon movies is an experience. Most of the ones from gen 1-4 are widely cherished. Its also nice seeing someone react to pokemon in general, feels like people stray away from it compared to other animes
Pikachu crying is one of the most emotional moments of cinematography, gets me every god damn time xD I recommend you to watch "Lucario and the mystery of Mew" as its probably my favourite of all the other movies and since you love Mew I am sure you would love it too :D
i saw this in theaters when it came out and "we dreamed of creating the world's strongest pokemon and we succeeded" is still one of my all time favorite lines/moments in any movie
Seeing your love for Mew hit me hard in the childhood feels. My favorite Pokémon too! Still have the card I pulled from a fossil booster as a kid. Top tier content homie.
Context on the whole tears bringing ash back to life thing: So when this movie was being dubbed in English they cut a whole part of mewtwos's backstory. It's pretty much the same as the movie u just watched except mewtwo meets a girl name amber. she explains how pokemon's tears bring people back to life. Pretty out there explanation but i gues it works
There are two specials that I *highly* recommend reacting to despite not officially being part of the sequence of movies: The Origin of Mewtwo (prologue to movie 1) Mewtwo Returns (tv special between movies 3 and 4)
This movie used to be even darker but got cut. The scientist who created Mewtwo was acutally trying to clone his dead daughter, if I remember correctly. (one of the writers actually lost his daughter)
You know theres a whole bit cut from the start of this movie, that features mewtwo as a young clone, in a shared dream with a young girl, and the clones of charmander, bulbasaur and squirtle The same cloned pokemon we see later in the movie with the weird spots
When I was around 3 years old I got the VHS tape for this movie. It was the only tape I had for years, I must have seen the movie over 100 times It makes me happy to see others experience it Thank you
I saw this movie in theaters and it was a moment from my childhood I will never forget. It was for a friend’s birthday and then we all went to BK and got the toys (I got the Nidoking keychain). As for what Pokémon I would have from Gen 1. Bulbasaur is my favorite starter, both powerful and viable. For my other favorites; Jolteon, Poliwrath, and Snorlax. Too many to name but those are a few of my favorites. Gen 1 Jolteon was the most busted Electric Type after Zapdos in Red Version.
NOW WE’RE TALKIN, DON 🙌🔥🍻 that’s why Mewtwo is my OG. god, I can remember finding him at the end of the original Pokémon Blue Game Boy game 🤯. edit-Minnesota Vikings are an NFL team
Gold version pokedex entry for alakazam: Closing both its eyes heightens all its other senses. This enables it to use its abilities to their extremes. And he still got stomped. 5:48
The part of the movie that explains why the tears saved ash got cut in the English release of the movie because the English producers didn’t want kids to sympathize with the villain . In the Japanese one I believe, they have a backstory as to why tears were super important in this
Maaaann really?? That doesn't even make any sense given they still kept the beginning which showed humans being assholes which made the villain sympathetic already smh English producers man I swear
It's available in English too, it was put back in with releases of the special "Mewtwo Returns" DVD. It's called, "The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin" and most of the time it's added to all the versions of the original movie you see online. People definitely need to watch it.
8 months late lol but to your point at 9:45, Team Rocket actually did successfully steal other Pokémon off screen. I remember an episode where at the very beginning they crashed a semi truck filled with Pokémon they’d stolen. For some reason they’re looked at as losers but they seemingly pull off some successful heists.
This movie has a prequel and sequel. The former is a short called The birth of Mewtwo. The latter is a special episode called Mewtwo returns. They are pretty good.
You know it's funny I hear two voices from the same actor but yet from two very different shows and now that I put it all together years later. I cannot believe that Brock is also Seto Kiba from original Yugioh series. It's just so funny because there such opposite from each other's true personalities and goals and even in a character.
I looove this movie too! So much so that I have shiny hunted both Mewtwo (in Fire Red version) and Mew (in Pokemon GO). Both are now chilling in Pokemon HOME. :-D I nicknamed my Mewtwo Weapon A, seeing as he was created as a weapon, and I would nickname Mew (if in HOME you could nickname your mons) Blue Moon, since shiny Mew is basicaly available once in a blue moon, as the saying goes.
I love this movie, but for me personally, Pokemon2000 and Pokemon4Ever are the best ones. The older movies just touch the heartstrings in a way the newer ones don’t 😅
Yes, that was Gary and his Nidoking and Arcanine. This is in the anime as well, since Ash got to the gym just after Gary did and had to wait. Gary gets wiped by Giovanni's mewtwo, then has to leave, leaving Jessie, James, and Meowth in charge if the gym for Ash's battle. Ash has the badge for a gym Gary couldnt beat.
This is a staple of the classic Pokémon franchise, but I found that a lot of the 4th generation movies (The ones about the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum games/TV seasons) went way harder and were a lot cooler. Still, you can deny this one was great.
It didnt make sense to me as a kid how mewtwo caught ash's pokeballs but as im now older it makes alot more sense. In the pokemon universe we know that pokeballs can be digitized because pokemon are sent to the boxes in pokeballs so mewtwo being a super genius would be more than capable of tweaking the code to allow for capturing the balls themselves
Jessie, James and Meowth do occasionally try to do other things than capture Ash's Pikachu, but they always happen across Ash and Pikachu anyway by sheer chance and can't resist the opportunity, and then they just keep trying again. They think it'll improve their standing with the boss, who largely considers them useless.
This is what happens when people keep pausing the video every 10 seconds "Why did the Pokémon tears heal him?!" When the story was explained before everyone left for the island lmao😂
Gen 1:Red ,blue, green, yellow Gen 2:silver, gold Gen3: ruby, sapphire, emerald Gen 4: diamond, pearl (plus gen 2 remakes) Gen 5: black and white 1 and 2 Gen6: x and y Gen7 : sun, moon, ultra sun, ultra moon, omega ruby, alpha sapphire Gen8 : sword and shield, Gen 9: scarlet and violet
2:38 Alakazam, due to the fact that in Gen 1, due to a bug, Psychic types ARE the best due to somehow being immune to Ghost (Only Lick anyways) and there's NO offensive Bug type moves in gen 1. 22:50 It was Rhydon, so almost.
25:18 ADMIT IT! As a kid this probably was the most shocking moment of the movie, and you know it :v Lets be honest, ash’s charizard was far way harder to beat than the others, the proof of how extremely strong he was even for that moment :3
I love this movie!!!!! Mewtwo is such a BA in a good way. My favorite Pokémon of all time. I actually got to go to collect a con in my hometown I got Jason Paige’s autograph, Along with Eric Stewart and the OG Mario voice actor. I saw Dan Green the voice of mewtwo there but had already spent a lot of money I aim to get his next time if he comes next year
If you want a couple GREAT pokemon fan games- Emerald rogue is a romhack of emerald that turns emerald into a replayable roguelike experience. You basically start fresh every run and try to do a little better every time The other is pokemon infinite fusion. Its a game where you can fuse pokemon together and theres TONS of incredible unique sprites
my favorite Pokèmon is Charizard. after him are either Kingler or Sirfetch'd (the later evolves from a Galarian form of Farfetch'd. introduced last generation starting 2019)
2:14 tbf i got an unpopular opinion with this, Squirtle is my go to, purely because its the one with the least weaknesses, its less weak to grass than charmander is to water and bulbasaur is to fire, and its attacks are more effective against charmander than charmander's are to bulbasaur and bulbasaur's are to squirtle, imo its got the most solid defence and attack of the three when referring to the three main pokemon types
It still drives me crazy that match of mewtwo vs arcanine and nidoking (gary) actually is canon. There's an episode where Ash visits Giovanni's Gym and it's closed, but Ash meets with Gary who tells him that it was impossible to get that gym badge. The gym was probably also closed because of the time that Mewtwo escaped, because Ash never fought Giovanni in that gym, but Team Rocket as a substitute. Gary even used his pokedex and Mewtwo wasn't detected because he's.. human made and ' new ' in the existence of pokemon (back then).
I'm currently working on a Fire Red nuzlock myself. Was playing it while watching your vid. I'm currently working with a Blastoise named Bubba, a Snorlax named Donut, a Hypno name Yo-Yo and a Nidoking named King George. lol
Pokemon the movie 3: Power of the Unown and Pokemon I Choose You those are the two best Pokemon movies (the second one is a retelling of Ash meeting Pikachu with a different canon)
"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Wise words to live by from a very powerful legendary Pokémon.
"mew mew"
-Mew (just vibing)
So much wisdom. It was amazing
Fun Fact: Despite Pokémon only saying their name in the anime, Pikachu exclusively says "Pika Pi" when specifically referring to Ash.
So while Pikachu was starting to cry, he was saying, "Ash...Ash..." .
Oh I don't know that, it's so sad
More like "Satoshi" Pi (Sa) Ka (To) Pi (Shi)
“Doesn’t something happen to Ash in this movie” is a great summary for every Pokémon movie
Fr💀
Wow. I'm glad people are still watching this movie. So nostalgic

Yes that was Gary. That was from the scene where Gary lost his first gym battle and Ash step in but instead of that mob boss guy, it was Team Rocket.
Sorry, Jessie and James.
Seeing you just go all soft for Mew Made my entire Week! Mew is just the most adorable Pokémon I have ever seen in my 29 year old life 🥹
i saw this in theaters when it came out and "we dreamed of creating the world's strongest pokemon and we succeeded" is still one of my all time favorite lines/moments in any movie
Admittedly, this is the only time I saw Ash as a legit badass. Dude was gonna punch Mewtwo in the face. That takes balls.

“They mostly live in Minnesota” that’s a Minnesota Vikings joke, an American football team.
There are two specials that I *highly* recommend reacting to despite not officially being part of the sequence of movies:
The Origin of Mewtwo (prologue to movie 1)
Mewtwo Returns (tv special between movies 3 and 4)
A starter Pokemon from all of the non legendaries is a hard ask, there's so many to choose from
DON PLEASE WATCH THEM ALL I WANT TO SEE YOUR REACTION SO BAAAD
He needs to react to the anime itself
GOTTA WATCH THEM ALL!
4:28 You have a son AND you're going to show him this movie!?
Good man
Such a good film, the emotions, the nostalgia
I love how Mewtwo get inspired by HR Giger for the new design of the island’s building.
This movie used to be even darker but got cut. The scientist who created Mewtwo was acutally trying to clone his dead daughter, if I remember correctly. (one of the writers actually lost his daughter)
This film is unironically better than it had any right to be. The soundtrack is absolutely _unbelievable_ and there's a great story and lesson here.
You know theres a whole bit cut from the start of this movie, that features mewtwo as a young clone, in a shared dream with a young girl, and the clones of charmander, bulbasaur and squirtle
The same cloned pokemon we see later in the movie with the weird spots
Jesse and james having a good disguise that not even don realised it was at first

It makes me happy to see others experience it

As for what Pokémon I would have from Gen 1. Bulbasaur is my favorite starter, both powerful and viable. For my other favorites; Jolteon, Poliwrath, and Snorlax. Too many to name but those are a few of my favorites. Gen 1 Jolteon was the most busted Electric Type after Zapdos in Red Version.
I like how mew literally laughs in mewtwos face while fighting lol
NOW WE’RE TALKIN, DON 🙌🔥🍻 that’s why Mewtwo is my OG. god, I can remember finding him at the end of the original Pokémon Blue Game Boy game 🤯. edit-Minnesota Vikings are an NFL team
Gold version pokedex entry for alakazam: Closing both its eyes heightens all its other senses. This enables it to use its abilities to their extremes.
And he still got stomped. 5:48
"They mostly live in Minnesota" is a joke about the American Football team the Minessota Vikings
Movies that you could react to :
-Monsterverse (Godzilla 2014 to Godzilla vs Kong)
-Detective Pikachu
-The Super Mario Bros Movie
13:48 IMO the best one liner the show ever did.
At the time, the "Vikings" NFL franchise played out of Minnesota.
No matter what season or movie you can depend on ash to risk his life for pikachu, that’s his main man right there
most people say pokemon 2000 is the next movie but for some reason nobody remembers pokemon mewtwo returns. its a direct continue of the first movie.
The part of the movie that explains why the tears saved ash got cut in the English release of the movie because the English producers didn’t want kids to sympathize with the villain . In the Japanese one I believe, they have a backstory as to why tears were super important in this
Maaaann really?? That doesn't even make any sense given they still kept the beginning which showed humans being assholes which made the villain sympathetic already smh English producers man I swear
It has nothing to do with the English producers. The cinema's didn't want to show the beghining.
Also instead of Mew being a hero, it was just a turbo racist that basically said the clones had 0 rights to life.
It's available in English too, it was put back in with releases of the special "Mewtwo Returns" DVD.
It's called, "The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin" and most of the time it's added to all the versions of the original movie you see online. People definitely need to watch it.

For some reason they’re looked at as losers but they seemingly pull off some successful heists.
“Which starter Pokemon would you pick except legendaries, pseudo legendaries or mythicals?”
Gardevoir. No question.
The One who sang the theme song in this movie is a Filipino, Billy Crawford
The Minnesota thing was a reference to the sports team, the Minnesota Vikings. It took me ages to get that one too.
This movie has a prequel and sequel. The former is a short called The birth of Mewtwo. The latter is a special episode called Mewtwo returns. They are pretty good.
''Pika-Pi'' is how Pikachu says Ash's name, so when Ash turned into stone, Pikachu was just saying his name
this movie is set towards the end of the "Indigo Arc" back when Chariizard didn't listen to Ash
You know it's funny I hear two voices from the same actor but yet from two very different shows and now that I put it all together years later. I cannot believe that Brock is also Seto Kiba from original Yugioh series. It's just so funny because there such opposite from each other's true personalities and goals and even in a character.
This is a pleasant suprise defo need to drop a like for this gem of a movie🎉
I looove this movie too! So much so that I have shiny hunted both Mewtwo (in Fire Red version) and Mew (in Pokemon GO). Both are now chilling in Pokemon HOME. :-D
I nicknamed my Mewtwo Weapon A, seeing as he was created as a weapon, and I would nickname Mew (if in HOME you could nickname your mons) Blue Moon, since shiny Mew is basicaly available once in a blue moon, as the saying goes.
The pikachu crying is one of the saddest things i've ever seen ever
Go thru all of the Pokémon movies don!
Detective Pikachu with Ryan Reynolds is great
You are partially right. Ryhorn aas not the first Pokémon that Ken Sugimori drew; it was its evolution, *Rhydon.*
I love this movie, but for me personally, Pokemon2000 and Pokemon4Ever are the best ones. The older movies just touch the heartstrings in a way the newer ones don’t 😅
Yes, that was Gary and his Nidoking and Arcanine. This is in the anime as well, since Ash got to the gym just after Gary did and had to wait. Gary gets wiped by Giovanni's mewtwo, then has to leave, leaving Jessie, James, and Meowth in charge if the gym for Ash's battle.
Ash has the badge for a gym Gary couldnt beat.
Y’all, we need that nuzlocke
I forgot that TPC retconned mewtwo’s voice from male to female in the later movies. More Pokémon movie reactions please!
They didn’t retcon anything. That was another mewtwo. The mewtwo from this movie appeared again in Journeys at one point, eith the male voice
12:20 there’s a move called ‘rain dance’ in the games that summons rain
The nostalgia man, cried as a kid when Ash turned to stone and all the Pokémon started crying
Just watched the reaction and cried to it again fuck sake
2:34
Pokemon: exist
Don: CRIME!
Pokémon 2000 was by far my favorite next to this one
the emotions HIT with this one
i need to see xyz reactionsss
No joke...Mewtwo is one of the best villains ever written
This is a staple of the classic Pokémon franchise, but I found that a lot of the 4th generation movies (The ones about the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum games/TV seasons) went way harder and were a lot cooler.
Still, you can deny this one was great.
Mewtwo made the robot arms out of the scientists bones
It didnt make sense to me as a kid how mewtwo caught ash's pokeballs but as im now older it makes alot more sense.

the offkey singing killed me xD
Each movie did a remix of the opening at that point in the show it was so fire
One of my all time favorite movies!
Big nostalgia for me with this one
Gen 1:Red ,blue, green, yellow
Gen 2:silver, gold
Gen3: ruby, sapphire, emerald
Gen 4: diamond, pearl (plus gen 2 remakes)
Gen 5: black and white 1 and 2
Gen6: x and y
Gen7 : sun, moon, ultra sun, ultra moon, omega ruby, alpha sapphire
Gen8 : sword and shield,
Gen 9: scarlet and violet
I think there is an extended version where you get a little more of mewtwo's background before the beginning of the movie
2:38 Alakazam, due to the fact that in Gen 1, due to a bug, Psychic types ARE the best due to somehow being immune to Ghost (Only Lick anyways) and there's NO offensive Bug type moves in gen 1. 22:50 It was Rhydon, so almost.
Rlly happy you watched this one Townsend
the netflix one does grow on u the more u watch it btw. my fav pokemon movie is the hoopa one from xy btw
25:18 ADMIT IT!
As a kid this probably was the most shocking moment of the movie, and you know it :v
Lets be honest, ash’s charizard was far way harder to beat than the others, the proof of how extremely strong he was even for that moment :3
This movie was supposed to end the series, but because it made so much money they didn’t end it and made more stuff
Yes more Pokemon movies!
Also, you should do at least Pokemon Emerald playthrough! You can also do Fire Red one but at least Emerald from gen 3!!
13:46 😂 I totally forgot this NFL team reference. I wonder what that line is in the Japanese version
Rhydon was the first Pokemon that was programmed into the game
I love this movie!!!!! Mewtwo is such a BA in a good way. My favorite Pokémon of all time. I actually got to go to collect a con in my hometown I got Jason Paige’s autograph, Along with Eric Stewart and the OG Mario voice actor. I saw Dan Green the voice of mewtwo there but had already spent a lot of money I aim to get his next time if he comes next year
Id be happy with a growlithe and fire stone

Emerald rogue is a romhack of emerald that turns emerald into a replayable roguelike experience. You basically start fresh every run and try to do a little better every time

Pokémon = Childhood
The simplest math. Ever.
ngl the nuzlocke idea sounds fye
my favorite Pokèmon is Charizard.
after him are either Kingler or Sirfetch'd (the later evolves from a Galarian form of Farfetch'd. introduced last generation starting 2019)
Mewtwo didn’t turn back time but he erased everyone’s memory
This is a childhood movie of mine as well, glad to see rewatch this with you 😢
We genuinely need a fire red nuzlocke from bro, and if he's watching pokemon movies he's gotta watch I choose you. Absolute ⛽‼️
All the movies actually go together.
Don, we need to see more Pokémon!!!!!
The movies definitely holds up , btw can you see pokemon generations its really good and its on youtube
2:14 tbf i got an unpopular opinion with this, Squirtle is my go to, purely because its the one with the least weaknesses, its less weak to grass than charmander is to water and bulbasaur is to fire, and its attacks are more effective against charmander than charmander's are to bulbasaur and bulbasaur's are to squirtle, imo its got the most solid defence and attack of the three when referring to the three main pokemon types
Gengar. He's my favorite he looks neat and he strong
I'd like to see more Pokemon movie reactions. Especially "Secrets of the Jungle" and "I Choose You"
Also the first mon was Rhydon
It still drives me crazy that match of mewtwo vs arcanine and nidoking (gary) actually is canon. There's an episode where Ash visits Giovanni's Gym and it's closed, but Ash meets with Gary who tells him that it was impossible to get that gym badge.

2:44 the most powerful Pokémon until Gen 3
Pokemon the movie 3: Power of the Unown
and
Pokemon I Choose You
those are the two best Pokemon movies (the second one is a retelling of Ash meeting Pikachu with a different canon)
We NEED more Pokémon
Was not expecting this movie but enjoyed every second of this reaction. Definetly react to the next movies too!
