The First Movie betrays its emotional themes with its own world, really. It’s a far cry from an Ash who, just minutes before, was willing to pit his pokemon against Mewtwo. His base love for his pokemon is exaggerated into a love for everything and grand declarations of peace. With no real personality of his own, Ash instead becomes a moral mouthpiece. Along with introducing seemingly important ancillary characters (like the kidnapped Nurse Joy or the random lady who knows storms or something) only to serve no purpose, The First Movie fails to turn Ash into a compelling protagonist.

Their usual schtick of wandering into a plot in motion may work for a TV series needing a fresh story every week, but it falls flat here. Since the film assumes the audience has working knowledge of the Pokémon TV series, and it’s a fair assumption given the branding, Ash and his friends (along with Team Rocket, introduced into the plot in a Rosencrantz/Gildenstern, outsider looking in fashion) don’t really have a reason to be involved.

Mewtwo themself is well defined with a clear existential crisis (as they try to clear the clouds of their mind, not so subtly represented by the storm they whip up with their powers), and it’s a greater deal of characterization than anyone else gets in the film. Choosing not to overstay its welcome (if you don’t include the Pikachu’s Island Adventure short), it instead tightly focuses on developing its central antagonist. Ash Ketchum (Veronica Taylor), together with his friends Misty (Rachael Lillis), Brock (Eric Stuart), and Pikachu, meet Mewtwo’s challenge and soon figure out there’s more to this pokemon than they realized.įirst things first, The First Movie is incredibly brisk. The super clone, Mewtwo (Philip Bartlett), now in search of a purpose, invites the strongest pokemon trainers to a mysterious island to battle him. When a group of scientists sucessfully clone an ancient pokemon known as Mew, the resulting super pokemon breaks loose and wreaks havoc.
