It's you

Written without feelings of film reviews. (It’s just right to watch it). I

still remember that in 2017 on Weibo, someone PO released a US version of "Pokemon: It's You". This trailer secretly recorded in theaters successfully blew up a hot spot "Pikachu speaks". I looked forward to it for a year, and finally waited for domestic resources. The whole movie is 97 minutes full of emotions, which can be said to be "smile in tears and tears in smile". If the previous TV animations, animated short films, and animated films (the first 19) were for children to watch, then this "Pokemon: It's You" is definitely a gift for old fans.

The film was released in Japan on July 15, 2017. According to the previous similar foreign animation film mainland, the first-trial review process was introduced for one year. It is estimated that the end of 2018, "Pokemon: It’s You," will be available on the mainland. I met everyone in the cinema.

The following paragraph involves spoilers, please read it carefully.


Xiaozhi, who lives in Zhenxin Town, aims to become a top Pokémon trainer. On the day when the trainer journey was about to begin, he did not get the initial elf because he was late. Upon seeing this, Dr. Oki gave a very mischievous Pikachu to the lost young man, who was unwilling to score a poke ball.


Although the two had conflicts, they slowly established a friendship. On the day of their trip, they saw the legendary Pokémon—the Phoenix King soaring in the sky. Xiaozhi and Pikachu took an oath with the rainbow feathers-


As a result, the two of them embarked on a journey of Pokémon.

During the journey, the gap between them gradually broke, and they met their companions, Seiko and Souji, and heard the legend about the Phoenix King.


Under the guidance of Mashaduo, the mysterious Pokémon who sneaked into Xiaozhi's shadow at some unknown time, Xiaozhi and his group went to the habitat of the Phoenix King-Tianqing Mountain under the rainbow. After a arduous battle, Xiaozhi was recognized by the Phoenix King and fulfilled the vow he had made with Pikachu before and fought with the Phoenix King.

The matter came to an end and everyone was separated, and Xiaozhi re-emerged on the road to become a Pokémon master.





The movie is not long, and the plot is not complicated. In 97 minutes, I will tell you a brand new "Mu Yin".

The first "Pokemon: Muji" 21 years ago, I will meet you all.


Xiaozhi Xiaoxia Xiaogang became the hottest anime character at the time. "Catch a Pikachu" also became everyone's best wish at the time. Many people have listened to the rhetoric of the small stalls, buy water-absorbent gel bulbs and soak them in the water for careful feeding, many people buy big bubble gums just for the elf cards in them, and many people hold handheld computers and wait for mom and dad to fall asleep. In my room, I used a quilt to cover my head and brushed Pokémon series games...

These are me, all of me. But I may not be a loyal fairy fan. As I got older, I didn't continue to chase after the first "Mu Yin Pian", and it was not until 2016 that "Pokemon GO" that took the world by storm brought my attention again. When I went to the cinema in 2017, I accidentally saw a familiar yellow figure on the poster on the courtyard wall. "Pokemon: Polkenyon and the Doll Majiyana" is also the first "Pokemon" movie animation to be released in China.


But the result was not satisfactory. There were brand-new elves and brand-new friends...It is no longer the "Pokemon" in my memory.

This "Pokémon: It's Your Decision" is back to the origin of the animation, yes, the Pokémon in my memory is back!

At the beginning of the movie, Xiao Mao Xiaozhuan (forgive me for not knowing who led the Little Fire Dragon...) debut.


The first theme song! The classic theme song in my heart forever! As soon as the prelude sounded, the memories came up instantly.


Farewell to Ba Dahu. When I was young, watching this scene was very sad, but now I can't bear it anymore. It's the difference. In addition, the BGM here is exactly the same as the first one, and it is full of memories.


Skin God speaks! "Because I want to be with you all the time." My straight steel man burst into tears in an instant. Is this why you have been reluctant to score poke balls? I just want to be with Xiaozhi all the time. (Ps: Specifically, Pishen really said that he would have different opinions without speaking. It does not rule out that Xiaozhi was beaten into a trance...)


A scene in which Xiaozhi enters his dream. I personally think that this paragraph can actually be regarded as an official complaint.



"Pokemon" is adapted from the Pokémon series of games. It has been 21 years from 1997 to 2018. More than 900 episodes of 6 TV animations are still being updated, 20 theatrical animation movies, 27 animation short films, and the rest are derived The works are countless. There are many stories in the works but the same mode is always the point that the "Pokémon" series has criticized for everyone. No matter how powerful the protagonist in the previous game is, he will definitely start from scratch in the next one. The female companion of the male mainstream water...but you have to know, this is an anime adapted from the game, this is a juvenile anime. You can't hope that "Pokémon" will be as dark and deep as DC anime. "There are forests, rivers, and mountains in front of the city. If you go further, the same scenery will be repeated again and again, but ah, you won’t know if you don’t go to see it."

Due to the characteristics of "young age ", the Pokémon series works More of them are fans of elementary and junior high school. As he got older, the original elementary school grew up and became a family with his own career, but he no longer indulged in the fantasies of the elf world all day long, and no longer had the desire to "catch a Pikachu". "We used to run together like this, but I can't remember who you are. You are obviously my most important friend."



It is said that this year's M21 will be the last theater version of the "Pokémon" series.

When I have a child, I will accompany him to review my childhood classics. "Look, this is what my father saw when he was a kid, this is Pikachu, this is the little fire dragon, this is the Jenny Turtle, this is the wonderful frog seed..."
