Memories of 2001

I clearly remember that I watched this film in 2001, the school’s audio-visual center. I was quite surprised to see it when I flipped through the large catalogue, which was different from the excitement when I saw SouthPark. In retrospect, I have only watched "Winnie the Pooh: Tigger Story", "Mikado" and "Sushi of Shouta" in the audiovisual center. SouthPark can't read it out, but X File is a bit distracted by watching the opening screen. Shock arrived and didn't dare to look any further. It’s very interesting that I watched these two animations-Tigger and Pokemon, and they both got into crying.
The market seems to be flooded with the American version of this one, including the one I got on BT. As PM's first touchstone in the US market, this film is undoubtedly a success. It is said that the Pikachu series of films released since then have never received such a good box office, and to this day, M2M's "Don't Say You Love Me" as its theme song seems to have become a classic. I have watched several theatrical versions of PM, including "Lukya Burst", "The King of the Crystal Tower" and "The Wishing Star of Seven Nights". But only "Super" made me feel that the theme is the most solemn, and I still feel breathless even when I rewatch it. In contrast, Xiaoxia’s ambiguous feelings for Xiaozhi in "The Road" seem to be too far-fetched. In "Knot" I only remember those vividly painted mysterious symbols and the majestic Yandi. "Seven" is about the production technology. Up to a new height, those detailed scene textures are breathtaking.
Compared to Mengmeng, Chaomeng can be said to have been crowned with a tragic fate from the very beginning, with cold eyes and low voice, it is really a bit chilling to kill those scientists. But what's the use of power alone? Looking at it, it really makes people feel that "there is nothing more beautiful than natural birth". = = Compared with the Japanese version of the funny, the Rockets boss in this movie looks much more evil and more powerful. Although I don’t like this very much, I really can’t find Pikachu’s worldview worse than him. People...
Chaomeng and other copied Pokemon's standpoints are a bit weak compared to the naturally-born PMs such as Mengmeng. The climax of the story inevitably fell on their conflict, Pikachu vs. Pikachu, Water Arrow Turtle vs. Water Arrow Turtle, Fire-breathing Dragon vs. Fire-breathing Dragon... But Xiaozhi’s Pikachu never fought back and looked sadly with himself. Pikachu with no different eyes but very angry.
Then Xiaozhi rushed between Chaomeng and Mengmeng, and was turned into stone by the two shocking forces. Pikachu ran over and kept calling Xiaozhi, and kept calling him, wanting him to recover. It's really sensational, I feel really excited. The vivid personality of Pikachu and the human touch in it may have conquered American children at this moment.
Chaomeng took his friends to find another paradise. They appeared in the TV special edition again, but it is a pity that Xiaozhi and the others have been erased from that time. :( That Pikachu is still very fierce.
