I was actually talking to a classmate of mine about The Rise of Darkrai recently. Darkrai’s his favorite mythical. Listen, I love Darkrai and its movie, but its legs in the movie always looked unnatural to me.
I just watched the 3rd pokemon movie, Frankly I think the story could have been wayyyy better. The only thing I enjoyed was when charizard came. Yes I should feel bad for the little girl but she should have known better.
eh I feel like a lot of fans overreacted to it since Pikachu wasn't technically talking. Ash was hallucinating and infers/imagines what Pikachu is saying to show the audience Ash could understand his Pokemon because of bonds he formed with them.
Pokemon The First Movie was a highlight of my childhood. Saw it one day after school and I can remember the whole Burger King toy line and the Pokeball with 'gold' Mew card. Ah the nostalgia.
Lugia would be my choice. It has always been my favourite Pokemon, and Pokemon 2000 gave me chills as a child. I would love one more with more Lugia screentime in it.
@@piotr5261 Only in animation. In terms of story and everything else, DPP was much better. Seriously they had to pull a Deus Ex Machina to pad the series for the next gen.
I would say Pokemon Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was probably the best written of the bunch. I still have soft spots for the first 3 though since I had them all and watched them in theatres growing up.
Lucario & the Mystery of Mew is my favourite Pokémon movie, but that's mostly because it has my favourite Pokémon theme song in it, Unbeatable, and it has the Regis in it.
Who else loved Latios and Latias because of Pokemon Heroes? Seeing Latias disguised as a girl just makes me immobilized by love. If only Latios and Latias can morph into humans in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Imagine how amazing that would be!
I feel like Pokemon 2000 is the best, that movie had more legendaries, higher stakes and a better backdrop compared to the First Movie. Plus it makes the best of its cast of existing characters, with Team Rocket nearly sacrificing their lives to save the world (and Tracey is there).
Brock and Misty appeared in the first two movies with different regions(M01 and M03), May and Max appeared in the first movie of Hoenn, Dawn appeared in the first movie of Sinnoh, Iris and Cilan appeared in the first movie of Unova, Clemont, Bonnie and Serena(in her old look) appeared in the first movie of Kalos, etc.
One of my fondest pokemon moments is seeing The First Movie in theaters. I was so hype, and my mom was snoring asleep in the seat next to me. Will never forget that.
I think my favorite movie of all was Movie 2000, but I also love the Celebi movie and also the Deoxys movie, oh and also Jirachi Wish Maker and Heroes. There is just so much more on the old movies.
I’m glad to see my favorite Pokémon movies on the list!😃😃😃😃 Zoroark: Master of Illusions The Power of Us Lucario and the Mystery of Mew And to see Lucario at #3 is even more amazing!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I still love the modern Pokemon movies. I think they have awesome/emotional moments like Pikachu turning to stone, all the Kalos Pokemon fighting the mega evolved Pokemon, etc.
And rotten tomatoes gave Pokémon: The First Movie; “Mewtwo Strikes Back” 16%. Pfft. 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes on them. Mewtwo was the best thing about the movie. Hands down!
You know, if the critics pan a movie, and people who aren't Pokemon fans pan the movie, and the Pokemon fans are the ONLY group who like the movie, odds are maybe the movie isn't very good and Pokemon fans have rose tinted glasses towards said movie.
The first two Pokémon movies were amazing when I first watched them in theaters. Whether it be the epic battle between Mewtwo and Mew or witnessing the emergence of Lugia. I enjoyed them in theaters where I made new friends among the crowd of fans watching them. Game Boys were out with link cables and fellow fans sporting the merch like T-shirts, plushies, or backpacks. Good times!
Pokémon I choose You is the first time I actually saw Ho-oh I believe. And of course that familiar ground of Ash dying but then eventually reviving. You love to see it
My favourite Pokémon movie is Lucario & the Mystery of Mew, mainly because it has my favourite theme song in it, Unbeatable, and it has the Regis in it with their amazing noises, which is honestly what they should always sound like even in the games.
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew deserves to be in #3 because it's very powerful and tragic and this is in my opinion where the story focuses on Lucario (who's a Pokemon) as the main protagonist He's also my favorite Pokemon 💙
I remember the days ''Pokémon the First Movie'' was in the cinemas, how everyone was crazy for Pokemon from children to adults.... It was a golden age for sure...
The thing I liked about Lucario and the mystery of mew one of the most memorable Scenes in my opinion is when the Regis attacked. I like that they glitched out before they said their name so Regirock busts out of the ground you see him glitch out a bit and then say his name. Sort of the same for regice and then Registeel was attacking the team rocket and he also glitched out while near the cave. It was just awesome
Pokemon The First Movie was the first Pokemon movie I saw as a kid. I still think its the best one, but Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You was really good, too.
“Pokémon 2000” will always be my favorite because of Lugia, the legendary birds and the start of Ash being the Chosen one.😉💜 Destiny Deoxys is also one of my favorites. Always great to see Rayquaza and a unique Pokémon like Deoxys.😊❤️
May and Max had some adorable moments in the movies they were in The friendship between Max and Jirachi was cute and the part where Max falls asleep and May sings the lullaby their mother sang was wholesome I also liked when May helped calm Ash down after his fight with Lucario and when Max offered Lucario a chocolate bar Also the scenes where May was swimming with Manaphy were nice also
Well how about Ash’s Victini? Ash gave her macaroons. Max won in Kalos without Ash realizing that Alain is Max wearing the Wishmaker (Millennium Puzzle), married Serena (Jirachi, the Sky High Dragon) and gave birth to 2 Cosmogs, Clemort (Solgaleo) and Bonnie (Lunala). Max is 37 years old while Ash is still 10.
My favorite pokémon movie is The Raise of Darkrai. Darkrai became my favorite legendary pokémon because of that movie because despite the hate he always got, that was the place where he got love for the first time ever and even if others didn’t like him he'll protect the place that means a lot to him. And Oracion is one of the songs that makes me cry every time I hear it because it makes me remember that movie.
Godamn. You literally put all the ones I liked the most as last ones. Hoopa, Hoen movies....Even Giratina movie. Damn. Manaphy movie was my fav though with Lucario second 😮💨
0:49: 20. Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages (2015) 1:54: 19. Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel (2016) 2:47: 18. Pokémon the Movie: Black - Victini and Reshiram and Pokémon the Movie: Black - Victini and Zekrom (2011) 3:44: 17. Pokémon: Jiraichi - Wish Maker (2003) 4:32: 16. Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of Sea (2006)
I can never decide between Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and Heroes Latias and Latios. Both movies were just magical. Destiny Deoxys and Spell of the Unown are probably my second-favorites.
Personally torn between Pokemon 2000 and The Rise of Darkrai as my favourites. The music in both of them is phenomenal. I cried more watching both of them than I did with any of the others.
My favourite of the bunch is I Choose You, hands down. It was such a beautifully animated ride of nostalgia that it really lets you relive your memories.Of course,there’s also Ho-Oh which’s my favourite Pokemon and I really think no other Pokemon can symbolise the franchise better than Ho-Oh through its iconic cameo in the first episode and the way it stood for Ash and Pikachu’s friendship. My second favourite is Spell of the Unown:Entei because of Entei and Molly’s relationship.And woah,Entei’s my second favourite too and it was the coolest thing here. My third one is Celebi:Voice of the Forest for obvious reasons of the visuals and Suicune,who still is memorable despite its role being half-baked. My fourth is Zoroark:Master of Illusions because finally,Raikou got a movie but it still deserved more.And the beasts were shiny.Celebi returned.The story was quite innovative and interesting. Then it’s Lucario and the Mystery of Mew for its beautiful setting and its interesting premise and for the characters arcs of the featured Pokemon,Lucario and Mew and also Regice,Regirock and Registeel.Obviously I was also excited for Ho-Oh’s small,yet pivotal cameo and it didn’t disappoint. Honourable mention is Jirachi Wish Maker for its memorable tale of friendship and The Power of Us for its wind-related theme and I kinda liked Diance and the Cocoon of Destruction too.
The Power of Us should easily be #1 IMO. It has an amazing artstyle, and amazing story, amazing characters, and literally everything else about it is fantastic.
Yes I am among those, who say the last 2 movies - Power of us and Secrets of the jungle are actually top tier, idk if top 2....but at least top 5, due to their more mature setting and how good Pokemon can be, when you add some slice of life drama to it, similar to the movie with the orphan girl
Needed this nostalgia, Pokémon has some really amazing movies.. I'll never forget crying on Pokémon the first movie. That one song when the clones were fighting hits you right in the feels
1:15 Pokémon & Duel Monsters. That would be a good crossover. 2:00 Ouch. 2:54 Movie 14 became the first ever movie to feature this trait. 7:44 Well, he is a human. 8:32 I really love the setting. 9:00 A Pokémon messiah. Wow. 10:04 Really, boys? 14:14 Humans suck sometimes. 15:05 Actually, we don't know who that was. 15:22 This is my #1. 16:49 There's another crossover. 17:48 Yay. 18:56 How did I know this was going to be #1?
My top movie list 1. The rise of Darkrai 2. Lucario and the mystery of Mew 3. Pokemon ranger and the temple of the sea 4. Pokemon heroes 5. Diancie and the cocoon of destruction I can't believe Diancie is a honourable mention👀
Top 2 are the only ones I've ever seen and that was back when I was barely starting high school back in 98. Cant believe so many films have followed since then. Glad generations get to enjoy this franchise.
"May's singing is a terror for your ears" Actually, the singing voice of May in the movie is KAORI, May's Japanese VA. They kept the voice track from the original Japanese and put it into the dub.
My favorite Pokemon movies are Pokemon Jirachi-Wish Maker (Jirachi’s so cute!-Also I have a Jirachi plush!), Kyreum vs. The Swords of Justice-Keldeo’s is one of my favorite mythical Pokémon (although I do have a lot of other favorites and I love how its a movie about being brave) and The Power Of Us (I love the friendship between Margo and Zeraora!)
Pokemon 2000 was great and is still rated highly in my list as, not only the better of Ash's first movies, but also capped off the Orange Island Season, which is still my favourite season of Pokemon to date. Seriously, I just marathoned the first five seasons of Pokemon, and Orange Islands, despite being filler, really holds up.
(10:55) I guess Philip Bartlett couldn’t reprise the role as Mewtwo in the sequel film. Instead, we got Yugi himself and that made him sound more wicked!
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was one of my favs, along with I choose You. But the one thing in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is the extra character- the girl who breaks world records. Because I feel like how they showed her with her weaviles seem like she's a villain, which I woulda loved to see. I was even getting my hopes up when she joined Ash help Lucario. But... nevermind, she's just there to actually help. Aaaaah. My other problem is that Lucario senses... rocks? Uhh... what? Rocks don't have auras. If it sensed pokemon within those rocks and Lucario knew he was running into an object filled with pokemon and avoids it, that would be more realistic with his powers and even a great small detail. They did add ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN, so it's really great
The Power of Us is one of the very few Pokemon movies that is just a good movie on its own. It was also the first very good one after a long period of meh Pokemon movies.
I should point out that I haven't seen all Pokemon movies the ones that I can remember that I've seen were the first movie, Lucario and the mystery of mew, I choose You, the one with Palkia and dialga and Darkrai and of course the one with Rayquaza and deoxys. Those are from the top of my head I'll let you know if I've seen others
I still don't know why he Sent cyndaquil to go fight Entei you going to fight a fire type with a fire type really? I guess he took the phrase fighting fire with fire literally

As a Pokémon fan and watcher since the beginning i can honestly say that the first three movies out of nostalgia but also the story telling and the graphics at that time are way above the rest. 1. Pokémon 2000 2. Pokémon 3 (with the unknown) 3. Pokémon first movie 4. Lucario and the legend of Mew. 5. Darkrai movie 6. Destiny Deoxys 7. Giratina movie 8. Mewto strikes back 9. Latios and Latias 10. Pokémon jewel of Life 11. Pokémon I choose you 12. Pokémon with the sea temple 13. Pokémon Jirachi 14. Pokémon jungle book/meets Avatar 15. After this it all even for me Let me know what is your list :)
In my honest opinion, Hoop and the Clash of Ages shouldn't've been at 20. It should've been at 4 or maybe 5. That was the one film that got me interested in the Pokemon films, and made Hoopa one of my favourite Mythical Pokemon! 😁
He did get a special in chronicles but while it is something, raikou did desive its own movie like the other 2,or at least share one with another legendary like suicune and celerby
i still say pokemon 3 was number 1. true ash did somewhat die in the first film. but molly being younger lost both her parents in the sense they went missing. having to fill that void was Entei. till the very end he was a loving father who ended up giving his life to stop the unown to save his daughter. truly sad when you realize the unown created him but he still chose to love molly above even his creators. the last line "just keep me close in your dreams" before he vanished really is a touching farewell, even for our kids. the music was amazing the aesthetics. molly really went through alot wanting simply a mother and father. the best shot was when she saw Entei in the clouds for the last time. honestly pokemon 3 is number 1 for me then pokemon the first movie and then pokemon 2000. long live the greatest pokemon/father Entei
Pokémon 2000 will always be the best. It was a good pokemon movie, but it was also a good movie, with great music. Having become a studio Ghibli fan in my adulthood, I think pokemon 2000 has genuine quality as an anime.
@@williamolsen8464 the gimmick with the new season is that they're bringing a little bit of everything back. Ash is not only exploring parts of Galar but going back to other regions as well
@@williamolsen8464 Yes He is. Although, I’m a little upset that it isn’t one of his old ones, but as long as Ash gets a Mega Evolution, then I don’t care who it is!
You think it was good they stopped airing the Pokemon movies to theaters following 4Ever? Because you got to admit when the movies aired in theaters it always followed up with a soundtrack release featuring good music for the movie and original ones added to it. Though looking at the Pokemon movies in the last couple of years could you imagine pop songs and others to be made for them?
This probably should have been condensed into a Top 10 list. Using this makes sure that only three or four films miss out on a ranking. If you were eager to do a list like this, you should have included all of them and ranked to from worst to best. But I guess you're really desperate for those clicks, huh?
The best part about the First Movie is how it ties in with the series unlike the other movies which always chronologically falls after a random "movie related episode" like a fever dream.

I loved hoopa clash of ages
I think there should be ultra beasts vs sinnoh legendary movie
Probably Zamazenta and Zacian
Tears for Ash is still one of the saddest scenes in all of Pokémon
Pokemon idea list is best shorts
Stuff like what you find on yt channel “Pokemon Kids TV Japan” PokeToons
It’s everything the anime should be imo
In my opinion the early 2000's were a golden age for Pokemon movies!!!
Warner Bros. did the rights for the original 'Mewtwo Strikes Back(M01)'?
Indeed they were.
I couldn't agree more! :)
Undeniably that was the era for Pokémon here in the USA!
I hate the newer Pokémon movies and series so much
Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai is my favorite Pokémon movie, and I’m glad that it’s really high on this list.
The first movie after M01, M03 & M06?
Ltrly I wish pokemon could turn back to being like that, new pokemon are trashy and movies ain't satisfying 🥲
If we don’t get to hunt darkrai in brilliant diamond and shining pearl I’ll be mad
@@ig7742 What about Mewtwo?

I was actually talking to a classmate of mine about The Rise of Darkrai recently. Darkrai’s his favorite mythical. Listen, I love Darkrai and its movie, but its legs in the movie always looked unnatural to me.
It looks like he's wearing a skirt and stockings.....
Not gonna lie, I really wish Darkrai would use its legs in the main games.
"HIS" not "it's"!!!
@@ZeldaSam1 It's gender is neutral according to the PokeTab....
@@ZeldaSam1 Darkrai in the games and anime is genderless, even though it has a male voice.
Pokemon 3 should be higher tbh. The animation is so good and we will never get to see such a dark storyline again
The way charizard made it’s entry was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
#7 was disrespectful
I just watched the 3rd pokemon movie, Frankly I think the story could have been wayyyy better. The only thing I enjoyed was when charizard came. Yes I should feel bad for the little girl but she should have known better.
Spell of the Unown was the 2nd best imo
@@Little_Duckling18 "She should've known better" - she was like 4 or 5 years old. You really expect a little child to know better?
Pikachu speaking English was unforgivable honestly
Hello random vertified person who I don't know who you are
I am not surprised Americans even made godzilla speak English even though Japanese aka original movie only used speech bubbles
@@user-ge2ex7pt3r hello :)

Pokemon The First Movie was a highlight of my childhood. Saw it one day after school and I can remember the whole Burger King toy line and the Pokeball with 'gold' Mew card. Ah the nostalgia.
Don't you've just missed the 1990s?
I can vividly remember when i've seen the movie. One of the first movies i've seen in VCD. I really love that movie. So nostalgic.
But Mewtwo returns WAS the better movie
There was more than the gold plated mew card! I have them all, my dad likes Pokémon too so he grabbed them all when they released haha
Lugia would be my choice. It has always been my favourite Pokemon, and Pokemon 2000 gave me chills as a child. I would love one more with more Lugia screentime in it.
What about Mewtwo and Entei?
Sadly after watching it again years later, it does not do my memory of it justice. Did not age well
It's too bad that after the XY series, they stopped showing Ash's traveling companions in it
couse nobody liked ash's new desing, it was not suitable for movies anymore
I agree it makes no sense
I like to think the series ended after Diamond and Pearl. The series went completely downhill after Sinnoh.
@@fogrepairshipakashi5834 XYZ was better than DPP
@@piotr5261 Only in animation. In terms of story and everything else, DPP was much better. Seriously they had to pull a Deus Ex Machina to pad the series for the next gen.

Lucario & the Mystery of Mew is my favourite Pokémon movie, but that's mostly because it has my favourite Pokémon theme song in it, Unbeatable, and it has the Regis in it.
same love this movie. Its also unique in that it doesn't have a villain like most other Pokemon movies
It is the final film dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment. Granted, the 4Kids dub is not perfect it definitely went out with a bang thanks to that movie.
Yeah agreed. Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is my #1 pick
That's my third favorite! after rise of darkrai and the mewtwo. Although l like the arcus and the jewel of life too!
I've watched these movies as far as I can remember and god I seriously need to rewatch some of them and have a nostalgia trip
Don't you've missed the 1990s?

I feel like Pokemon 2000 is the best, that movie had more legendaries, higher stakes and a better backdrop compared to the First Movie. Plus it makes the best of its cast of existing characters, with Team Rocket nearly sacrificing their lives to save the world (and Tracey is there).

Not to mention its epic theme song

I enjoyed them in theaters where I made new friends among the crowd of fans watching them. Game Boys were out with link cables and fellow fans sporting the merch like T-shirts, plushies, or backpacks. Good times!

Lucario and the Mystery of Mew will always be one of my faves. Everything about it is sooo good. :D
Pokémon I choose You is the first time I actually saw Ho-oh I believe. And of course that familiar ground of Ash dying but then eventually reviving. You love to see it

4Kids did the rights for all eight movies, right?
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew deserves to be in #3 because it's very powerful and tragic and this is in my opinion where the story focuses on Lucario (who's a Pokemon) as the main protagonist

The thing I liked about Lucario and the mystery of mew one of the most memorable Scenes in my opinion is when the Regis attacked. I like that they glitched out before they said their name so Regirock busts out of the ground you see him glitch out a bit and then say his name. Sort of the same for regice and then Registeel was attacking the team rocket and he also glitched out while near the cave. It was just awesome
Feels amazing to see Pokemon Lucario Movie 8 at the third place. Best Pokemon movie I've ever seen!!
Fun Fact:The Lucario from Movie 8 was voiced by Sean Shammel (The english dub voice of Goku from Dragon Ball).
@@jeuryrabassa4724 well here in brasil sir aaron was voiced by wendel bezerra the brasilian portuguese dub voice of goku
Regardless of which movie is the best, I am just happy that I can share my love of Pokemon with younger generations to come.
definitely
@12:14 lmao!! Wasn't expecting to hear "gets his ass killed" in a video like this lol 😂😅
Lucario and the Mystery Of Mew, Rise Of Darkrai and the first movie will always be my favorites
Same here
Same
Pokemon The First Movie was the first Pokemon movie I saw as a kid. I still think its the best one, but Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You was really good, too.
The first is way better.
“Pokémon 2000” will always be my favorite because of Lugia, the legendary birds and the start of Ash being the Chosen one.😉💜
Destiny Deoxys is also one of my favorites. Always great to see Rayquaza and a unique Pokémon like Deoxys.😊❤️
What about Mewtwo, Entei and Jirachi?
@@brianodonnell4496 They’re also pretty amazing.😊 My basement’s VHS/DVD collection is a testament of my Pokémon obsession growing up.😉
@@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954 Wow.
4Kids, Kids' WB/Warner Bros. and Miramax did the rights?
@@brianodonnell4496 I think so. That’s what always popped up at the beginning of the videos. Heck, I remember when WB kids would air new episodes.
@@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954 Kids' WB, you mean about?
May and Max had some adorable moments in the movies they were in
The friendship between Max and Jirachi was cute and the part where Max falls asleep and May sings the lullaby their mother sang was wholesome
I also liked when May helped calm Ash down after his fight with Lucario and when Max offered Lucario a chocolate bar
Also the scenes where May was swimming with Manaphy were nice also
What about M07?
Don’t forget all the advanced shipping in those movies a lot to love there
@@WolfofCannae Seasons 6-8 were okay and season 9 was garbage.
Especially the one where May becomes a parent.
Well how about Ash’s Victini?
Ash gave her macaroons.
Max won in Kalos without Ash realizing that Alain is Max wearing the Wishmaker (Millennium Puzzle), married Serena (Jirachi, the Sky High Dragon) and gave birth to 2 Cosmogs, Clemort (Solgaleo) and Bonnie (Lunala).
Max is 37 years old while Ash is still 10.
My fav is The Rise of Darkrai 🤩
Same dude, all of the sinnoh movies are great😁
@@angelicaph483 Facts
Love it, I wouldn't change the top two for anything, both fantastic films and somehow I knew they'd go 2 and 1 respectivly lol
never gonna forget renting the first pokemon movie on vhs, good times
Never gonna forget wondering why mewtwo was blue on the box
hells yes it was so cool and exciting
My favorite pokémon movie is The Raise of Darkrai. Darkrai became my favorite legendary pokémon because of that movie because despite the hate he always got, that was the place where he got love for the first time ever and even if others didn’t like him he'll protect the place that means a lot to him. And Oracion is one of the songs that makes me cry every time I hear it because it makes me remember that movie.
Wow. What's amazing is that there are now enough Pokemon movies to create a top 20 list. And here I am just having watched the first one.
Godamn. You literally put all the ones I liked the most as last ones. Hoopa, Hoen movies....Even Giratina movie. Damn.
Manaphy movie was my fav though with Lucario second 😮💨
0:49: 20. Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages (2015)
1:54: 19. Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel (2016)
2:47: 18. Pokémon the Movie: Black - Victini and Reshiram and Pokémon the Movie: Black - Victini and Zekrom (2011)
3:44: 17. Pokémon: Jiraichi - Wish Maker (2003)
4:32: 16. Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of Sea (2006)
Where's the rest of the list?
@@Jessica-el3dche stopped watching the vid lmao
I can never decide between Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and Heroes Latias and Latios. Both movies were just magical.
Destiny Deoxys and Spell of the Unown are probably my second-favorites.
Lucario & the Mystery of Mew for my top Pokémon movie, mostly for it having my favourite theme song in it, Unbeatable, and for having the Regis in it.
Still never got into Pokémon but it’s such a Legend of my childhood
Maybe it’s time you do
Personally torn between Pokemon 2000 and The Rise of Darkrai as my favourites.
The music in both of them is phenomenal. I cried more watching both of them than I did with any of the others.
Oracion and Lugia's song are the best pokemon songs and those are the 2 best movies from the franchise imo
My favourite of the bunch is I Choose You, hands down. It was such a beautifully animated ride of nostalgia that it really lets you relive your memories.Of course,there’s also Ho-Oh which’s my favourite Pokemon and I really think no other Pokemon can symbolise the franchise better than Ho-Oh through its iconic cameo in the first episode and the way it stood for Ash and Pikachu’s friendship.
My second favourite is Spell of the Unown:Entei because of Entei and Molly’s relationship.And woah,Entei’s my second favourite too and it was the coolest thing here.
My third one is Celebi:Voice of the Forest for obvious reasons of the visuals and Suicune,who still is memorable despite its role being half-baked.
My fourth is Zoroark:Master of Illusions because finally,Raikou got a movie but it still deserved more.And the beasts were shiny.Celebi returned.The story was quite innovative and interesting.
Then it’s Lucario and the Mystery of Mew for its beautiful setting and its interesting premise and for the characters arcs of the featured Pokemon,Lucario and Mew and also Regice,Regirock and Registeel.Obviously I was also excited for Ho-Oh’s small,yet pivotal cameo and it didn’t disappoint.
Honourable mention is Jirachi Wish Maker for its memorable tale of friendship and The Power of Us for its wind-related theme and I kinda liked Diance and the Cocoon of Destruction too.
They are all heartwarming and wonderful and charming and unique in their own way
The Power of Us should easily be #1 IMO. It has an amazing artstyle, and amazing story, amazing characters, and literally everything else about it is fantastic.
Yes I am among those, who say the last 2 movies - Power of us and Secrets of the jungle are actually top tier, idk if top 2....but at least top 5, due to their more mature setting and how good Pokemon can be, when you add some slice of life drama to it, similar to the movie with the orphan girl
Needed this nostalgia, Pokémon has some really amazing movies.. I'll never forget crying on Pokémon the first movie. That one song when the clones were fighting hits you right in the feels
The original looks way better than the remake by Netflix.
1:15 Pokémon & Duel Monsters. That would be a good crossover.
2:00 Ouch.
2:54 Movie 14 became the first ever movie to feature this trait.
7:44 Well, he is a human.
8:32 I really love the setting.
9:00 A Pokémon messiah. Wow.
10:04 Really, boys?
14:14 Humans suck sometimes.
15:05 Actually, we don't know who that was.
15:22 This is my #1.
16:49 There's another crossover.
17:48 Yay.
18:56 How did I know this was going to be #1?
Rise of the darkrai is my favourite one too
I still remember watching it when it came out
Darkrai is my favourite pokemon too
The early 00’s still hold up so well.
I do think that the first Pokémon movie should have been #3
Either "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" or "The Power of Us" for me. I haven't seen the newest one yet, but I think the new movies have been great!
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was the movie the cemented Lucario as my all time favorite Pokémon.
Watching XYZ and Sun & Moon subbed really made me appreciate the Kyurem vs the Swords of Justice's music. Movie 15 gets my vote
The Top 10 on this list are great.
My favorite movie is 3rd place… I can live with that.
Amazing video of the great Pokémon movies out there watch mojo and I saw some of those movies love it.
My favorites are Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Destiny Deoxys, and The Spell of the Unknown (the first movie is a no brainer as well) 🖤
What about Mewtwo and Jirachi?
OMG....THIS WAS A PART OF MY CHILDHOOD!!!
Totally agreed with first 2 movies and the soundtrack is amazing too!!
I still have those soundtracks downloaded
@@TrippleBPlays The first had all of the soundtracks.
@@brianodonnell4496 I agree.
@@TrippleBPlays That was even better than the other films and the remake(especially, the first ones).
My top movie list
1. The rise of Darkrai
2. Lucario and the mystery of Mew
3. Pokemon ranger and the temple of the sea
4. Pokemon heroes
5. Diancie and the cocoon of destruction
I can't believe Diancie is a honourable mention👀
Pokemon: the First Movie (1998) will always be the best Pokemon Movie of all time!
Could be better with Veronica Taylor?
Your top 3 is my top 3. Go figure. 😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Pokémon the First Movie, Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns, and Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution are my most favorites.
The first movie of Mewtwo was way better.
Top 2 are the only ones I've ever seen and that was back when I was barely starting high school back in 98. Cant believe so many films have followed since then. Glad generations get to enjoy this franchise.
First generation was way better.
"May's singing is a terror for your ears"
Actually, the singing voice of May in the movie is KAORI, May's Japanese VA. They kept the voice track from the original Japanese and put it into the dub.
Her original American voice-actor was way better.
My teacher: What are you thinking about?
Me: Nothing
My brain: Detective Mimikyu
My favorite Pokemon movies are Pokemon Jirachi-Wish Maker (Jirachi’s so cute!-Also I have a Jirachi plush!), Kyreum vs. The Swords of Justice-Keldeo’s is one of my favorite mythical Pokémon (although I do have a lot of other favorites and I love how its a movie about being brave) and The Power Of Us (I love the friendship between Margo and Zeraora!)
Miramax?
Pokémon Heroes is my all time favorite! I saw it in Chinese and the title of the movie was “the guardians of the water town”. Very poetic
The rise of the dark rai was my favourite Pokémon movie of all time
Yh I loved the music tower
Pokémon 4ever made me cry as a kid. And when Celebi began to literally wither and die I got so scared. I’m in my mid 20s now and it still gets me.
You really had to be there when the 1st movie was released.
Pokemon was at its peak
it was super epic hype!
Great job!! Now could you do a top 10 on Water-Type Pokemon?
Yeah there are many pokemon water type
Wait...there's more than one Pokémon movie?!?!?!?!
Pokemon 2000 was great and is still rated highly in my list as, not only the better of Ash's first movies, but also capped off the Orange Island Season, which is still my favourite season of Pokemon to date. Seriously, I just marathoned the first five seasons of Pokemon, and Orange Islands, despite being filler, really holds up.
(10:55) I guess Philip Bartlett couldn’t reprise the role as Mewtwo in the sequel film. Instead, we got Yugi himself and that made him sound more wicked!
Philip Bartlett was way better for Mewtwo.
Pokemon 2000 is my fav cuz it's the reason Lugia exists alongside the Darkrai movie just cuz of how much i love Darkrai's character
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was one of my favs, along with I choose You.
But the one thing in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is the extra character- the girl who breaks world records.
Because I feel like how they showed her with her weaviles seem like she's a villain, which I woulda loved to see. I was even getting my hopes up when she joined Ash help Lucario. But... nevermind, she's just there to actually help. Aaaaah.
My other problem is that Lucario senses... rocks? Uhh... what? Rocks don't have auras. If it sensed pokemon within those rocks and Lucario knew he was running into an object filled with pokemon and avoids it, that would be more realistic with his powers and even a great small detail.
They did add ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN ÜN, so it's really great
4Kids did the rights with all eight movies.
The Power of Us is one of the very few Pokemon movies that is just a good movie on its own. It was also the first very good one after a long period of meh Pokemon movies.
I should point out that I haven't seen all Pokemon movies the ones that I can remember that I've seen were the first movie, Lucario and the mystery of mew, I choose You, the one with Palkia and dialga and Darkrai and of course the one with Rayquaza and deoxys. Those are from the top of my head I'll let you know if I've seen others
Spell of the Unown & especially Lucario & The Mystery Of Mew was really good & especially Kurem VS The Swords Of Justice
I still don't know why he Sent cyndaquil to go fight Entei you going to fight a fire type with a fire type really? I guess he took the phrase fighting fire with fire literally
I mean Totodile already got knocked out so what did you want him to do?
I'm 28, and not ashamed to say the first movie still make a grown man well up at the end. I'm not crying you are 😭😭😭

As a Pokémon fan and watcher since the beginning i can honestly say that the first three movies out of nostalgia but also the story telling and the graphics at that time are way above the rest.
1. Pokémon 2000
2. Pokémon 3 (with the unknown)
3. Pokémon first movie
4. Lucario and the legend of Mew.
5. Darkrai movie
6. Destiny Deoxys
7. Giratina movie
8. Mewto strikes back
9. Latios and Latias
10. Pokémon jewel of Life
11. Pokémon I choose you
12. Pokémon with the sea temple
13. Pokémon Jirachi
14. Pokémon jungle book/meets Avatar
15. After this it all even for me
Let me know what is your list :)
Warner Bros. did the rights.
In my honest opinion, Hoop and the Clash of Ages shouldn't've been at 20. It should've been at 4 or maybe 5. That was the one film that got me interested in the Pokemon films, and made Hoopa one of my favourite Mythical Pokemon! 😁
In The Netherlands they would play pokemon movies every morning of the school vacations. Those were the days!
The first movie is awesome amazing incredible and enjoyable to watch
I’m 28 and the the first Pokémon movie made me cry back then and still does. One of my top 3 movies of all time
Honestly, Raikou got ROBBED! It deserved its own movie, but never got one!
Also, I'm gonna say it. The first Pokemon movie is overrated
He did get a special in chronicles but while it is something, raikou did desive its own movie like the other 2,or at least share one with another legendary like suicune and celerby
Must suck being wrong.
You must be 9 year olds or something Lmaoo
@@TheGeekyChef1190 who me? Why am I wrong?
@@cjgonzales7137 you talking to me? Or one of the other 2?
i still say pokemon 3 was number 1. true ash did somewhat die in the first film. but molly being younger lost both her parents in the sense they went missing. having to fill that void was Entei. till the very end he was a loving father who ended up giving his life to stop the unown to save his daughter. truly sad when you realize the unown created him but he still chose to love molly above even his creators. the last line "just keep me close in your dreams" before he vanished really is a touching farewell, even for our kids. the music was amazing the aesthetics. molly really went through alot wanting simply a mother and father. the best shot was when she saw Entei in the clouds for the last time. honestly pokemon 3 is number 1 for me then pokemon the first movie and then pokemon 2000. long live the greatest pokemon/father Entei
Warner Bros. did the rights with it.
Definitely Giratina and the Sky warriors
Pokémon 2000 will always be the best. It was a good pokemon movie, but it was also a good movie, with great music. Having become a studio Ghibli fan in my adulthood, I think pokemon 2000 has genuine quality as an anime.
and now people (including me) are losing their collective shit cuz Ash has his own Lucario that's about to get a Mega Evolution XD
You know people are saying that since both Sir Aaron and Ash can use Aura, that Aaron might be related to Ash in some way.
Wait, what? Why's he getting a mega now? That's the gen 6 gimmick. I haven't watched the anime since like dp, I still keep up with the games tho
@@williamolsen8464 the gimmick with the new season is that they're bringing a little bit of everything back. Ash is not only exploring parts of Galar but going back to other regions as well
@@williamolsen8464 Yes He is. Although, I’m a little upset that it isn’t one of his old ones, but as long as Ash gets a Mega Evolution, then I don’t care who it is!
You think it was good they stopped airing the Pokemon movies to theaters following 4Ever? Because you got to admit when the movies aired in theaters it always followed up with a soundtrack release featuring good music for the movie and original ones added to it. Though looking at the Pokemon movies in the last couple of years could you imagine pop songs and others to be made for them?
That’s from the dub versions.
This probably should have been condensed into a Top 10 list. Using this makes sure that only three or four films miss out on a ranking. If you were eager to do a list like this, you should have included all of them and ranked to from worst to best. But I guess you're really desperate for those clicks, huh?
pretty good list overall!
Top 10 erza scarlet armors
Examples:
Heart kreuz armor

Armadura fairy

The best part about the First Movie is how it ties in with the series unlike the other movies which always chronologically falls after a random "movie related episode" like a fever dream.
