      Thank you my pokemon!

      "It's up to you!"

      To say that the thing that I have persisted for the longest is the love for Pokemon; after watching this drama version in the company, I, a person who never shed tears in front of outsiders, actually burst into tears in the company's eyes. Because this theatrical version is the gold version of my first contact with pokemon 18 years ago! The plot passed frame by frame, and the memories of childhood flashed in my mind. The childhood that was out of reach, because this...

      When Pishen speaks human words, he decides to give five stars!

      When I only had VCD in elementary school, I bought a pirated version (it was still called Pokemon at the time). I watched it every day during the summer vacation. Maybe it was too much depression in reality (joking) My TV version only saw Orange League , but from the first episode I saw Orange League and watched it nearly five times (are you sure you can't afford a plate because you are poor?) I didn't know why I liked it very much at the time. I watched it every summer vacation, and then I...

      It's too careless to sell feelings

      In terms of story integrity and plot tension, it really is. . . It's very bad. In the first few episodes, I used it to cheat money. I used my feelings to make money, but I was willing to pay for it at that time.

      The real protagonist, Team Rocket, silently turned into a meteor in the sky without even saying a single word of the iconic lines. Even the fire-breathing dragon's mother doesn't even recognize it, and being so good makes me wonder if it's still the fire-breathing dragon....

      The nostalgic 20th anniversary work makes me feel a little embarrassed

      People who like this work very much may think that I am black, so they may not need to read further. But if you feel a little bit in the same mood as me, please read on.

             Let’s start with the conclusion. My biggest feeling when I watch this work is that it’s embarrassing. Wave after wave of embarrassment, I did not expect the climax of the plot, and the embarrassment also reached a climax.

             My background: As an ordinary Pokémon fan, I bought a 3DS to play XY/Sun...

      Tucao caused by insomnia

      (Can't sleep and complain) (Spoiler alert) Although I posted my thoughts once before, but the more I think about it, the more I get angry, and I still don't feel unhappy. As someone who has watched the original work, the 20th anniversary this time is a fraud. . I think many people have seen many scenes similar to the first generation in the trailer, wondering if they can relive those touching plots before, and go to the theater with anticipation, but the fact is that in addition to the...

      Looking at Pikachu now, I realize that it is not a cat that can generate electricity?...

      The 20th theatrical version of Pokémon is also the first theatrical version that does not follow TV. It may be a film like this to commemorate the 20th anniversary, but if you make a better film to commemorate it, since it’s not good Just shoot the beasts in the sun and the moon...

      Watching the Pokemon (I still only recognize this name) cartoon after 20 years, the first half of the original remake feels very familiar, but Pikachu actually spoke (shocked face.jpg)! My childhood took a hundred...
