After last episode's disaster of having to listen to the Mr. Mime
episode twice, we've uncrossed all our wires and bring you _Da da da
DAAAA!_ Pokemon: The First Movie!
I'm so happy to have made it here! Thanks to all the listeners for supporting me! Hopefully, you enjoy the special movie episode, and I can entertain you for
well over an hour. There will be laughs, there will be sap, there will be meta rants, all the usual, just much more of it!
Click here! Tune in to listen as MewTwo gets both violent and existential, while Ash just wants to go to the "cool kids" party.
I cry very very rarely, but when i remembered the scene with pikachu try to wake ash up I remembert how sad it fellt as a kid wtching this.
ReplyDeleteWell I have have catched my last mewto (20119 with a Friend Ball in Soul Silver It's name is Omega!
Good job on this extra-long episode-you managed to stay well-organized and on topic.
ReplyDeleteI always thought The First Movie was supposed to be after the Indigo League because a couple of the trainers had medals (or something) and I thought that was where they got them (if I recall correctly, the Indigo League champion's faces are never shown-instead they're silhouettes).
By the way, if you really want to know more about how "Brother My Brother" got made and the like, you can take a look at my interviews with Eliot Sloan (of Blessid Union of Souls) and my first/second movie soundtrack interview with John Loeffler from March.
Just wondering do you believe the giovanni theory for red and blue
ReplyDeleteAfter the whole mewtwo incident Giovanni wanted to get fossils to resurect the ancient pokemon because if a pokemon present can't beat mewtwo maybe an ancient pokemon can. He got the silph scope because ghost pokemon were the only type to counter psychic types and to see ghost types you need the silph scope. And to get the Master ball from the Silph Co. President as a last resort against mewtwo if the other plans fail.
Also I liked how you explained everything and Yes I want to see mini mewtwo be made into a pokemon in a later gen
Well this is maybe (or surly )of topic but how is your Meloetta dance challenge going?

Hi there. One of my listeners hipped me to you and I am blown away. This is quite possibly one of the best Pokémon podcasts on the 'net that I've heard. I would love to talk to you about guesting on Bouncing Wailord at some point. Hit me with an email at eSeamus@bouncingwailord.com. Keep up the good work and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteOh Pokemon. As I'm pretty sure I've said in previous comments, I love Pokemon so much because it IS about so much more than Pokemon. It's about a world that has problems, but they can admit it, and they can work past them together. It's even a pretty good psychology lesson, because the relations between characters are phenomenal. It's almost like it's the most perfect world that could ever happen. The main character being a naive, sometimes arrogant young 10 year old makes a lot of the outlooks on the show very positive, because kids are just...good. Pure. And Team Rocket symbolizes all of that evil that we all try to overcome. I cried during this movie. It's honestly just the best show of everything that we in the real world can accomplish once we work together. It tries to teach us that if we all work together and overcome our problems TOGETHER, then we can live in that "Perfect" world.
ReplyDeleteI know, this show is fantastic. For something that basically exists to get us to buy things, they really stepped up to make something wonderful in it's own right.

ReplyDeletethis was a great ep and i would love if you did all the movies
ReplyDeleteI think my brother caught a MewTwo with a ultra ball
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why Ash's Pidgeotto didn't make an apparence on this movie? Besides that, why does he/she also doesn't appear in specials such as Pikachu's Winter Vacation?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it should've been Staryu's job to take care of Togepi. But Starmie couldn't have done that, because it was left with Misty's sisters at Cerulean's Gym, in the "The Misty Mermaid" episode
ReplyDeleteJust finished the episode and it's fantastic. Your best program so far.
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of your comments about the good and the bad things about the dub and the original. But, in one scene in particular, I think that the dub should've been done with a little more care. The scene that I'm referring to is the one that shows the Ash vs Diantha fight, in Pokémon XY&Z Series. The japanese version, thanks to the soundtrack, was spectacular. The enligsh one, on the other hand, because of the lack of a good background music, didn't quite made me as hyped as when I saw the original one.
ReplyDeleteTo make my point more clear, I'm gonna post a video that shows a comparison between both versions:

Fun fact:
ReplyDelete"In the dub, three Pokémon are referred to by the wrong name. Pidgeot was called Pidgeotto, Scyther was called Alakazam, and Sandslash was called Sandshrew. In the audio commentary, 4Kids stated that they decided to leave the Alakazam error as something for the children watching to notice and because they felt it was plausible that Team Rocket could make a mistake. This was cut out for the dub of the remastered version when it was aired on Cartoon Network, but restored when it was re-released on Pokémon TV."

Takeshi Shudo's thoughts about Ash's death:
ReplyDelete"According to Takeshi Shudo's notes on the movie, Ash was not killed when Mewtwo and Mew's psychic blasts collided with him, nor did the tears actually bring him back to life. Instead, the blasts caused him to become petrified, and the tears restored him."

I hate to disagree with the man, but I'm going to count being petrified as dead ;) His ghost can fight me over it.
DeleteLOL. ;)
