Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnddddddd I'm back. Do you know what it's like to have your computer to consistently overheat for months, have your parents refuse to bring it in, have your siblings and parents constantly use it anyway, and then have the video card completely fry so you have to get it fixed? Then, Staples screws it up, and you have to bring it in AGAIN to get it fixed, and are not able to go on until today?



Still need to read the reviews though. Will try to get on it.



School starts next week. And I have to go in for ANOTHER surgery. Scar tissue on my knee has flipped, and it's causing pain. So, that'll get worked out.



Yeah, the Pokemon games series take place over only three years.

Actually, the game timeline has the Hoenn series happening at the same time as the Kanto series, so it's clear it's not just that all the other Pokémon weren't discovered until later. :/ It's just a difference between the Pokémon found in individual regions.

Doesn't Sammy see Pokemon that weren't Kanto series based? That itself is a little bit of a paradox on the entire Pokemon timeline. Er,well,to me it is. Seeing on how I follow the broken video game chronology.

The water current thing at the end of P2K is the Beast of the Sea, what Lawrence thought Lugia was. …at least in the dub.

…vanish but not disappear? That should be "reappear". x.x

Well, in the original timeline he was never missing for 40 years - he is Oak, after all, and Oak's been there the whole time in Ash's timeline. That works with the assumption he traveled forward in time and then back just fine; there is no paradox there. The fact Towa believed he'd been missing for forty years, on the other hand, is problematic, because when Sammy returns to his own time, we see her talk to him so she knows he's fine, and she doesn't pick up his sketchbook. If the sketchbook had been left out of it and Towa had, say, seen him vanish but not disappear, it would make sense as an immutable timeline sort of thing, but as it is, it simply can't make sense, even if we took the approach of multiple timelines, because Oak is still present in Ash's timeline and the sketchbook proves that this Oak is the one that went through time.

I know what that wierd water thing was at the end. It was shown at brief moments throughout the movie. It's the ocean current that is all messed up. Apparently it gets magically lifted into the air and gets purified, I guess… :/

All right, I watched the movie. And I'm confused. So Sammy disappeared for 40 years, but at the end when he gets back it doesn't make sense, because that means Ash doesn't meet him in the future because he was never missing for 40 years. This is the time paradox you were talking about, right Butterfree?

I know it's a Pokémon movie, but it still bugs me…

Hey everyone! I was on vacation, but I'm back now :D



In reference to one of the updates which I'm too lazy to check right now, Power of One actually is my favourite Pokémon movie…but not for any good reason :P I think I just like it because of the memories I have of it and not the actual movie. That didn't make sense, but then again, neither do I.



And someone said something a few pages back about the site style changing back to the default one when they viewed the guestbook or something, that used to happen to me, too. But it doesn't anymore.

Yay, thanks for getting me interested in the anime and movies again Butterfree :P (At least the first couple of seasons. I don't mind until Hoenn starts, then I hate it.)

Reading that review while using Celebi style was absolute win.

It can mean that too, but here it means Computer-Generated Imagery.

Doesn't CGI stand for Common Gateway Interface?

This review takes me back to the time when I didn't know what internet was and lived in the middle of a jungle. Then, I barely knew anything about Pokémon, and still found a deep connection when I saw this movie. It only pains me to know I'll never be able to see this movie, or any other Pokémon movie for that matter, ever again.



More relevantly, I find this review quite good. It (the movie) was certainly more different and original than the previous two. I especially liked the way the animation had changed and that how crystals (and other effects) were created. Thanks for the forgotten memories, Butterfree!



P.S. I really liked the Unown. I was pretty sure that they had a motive. They just seemed to have a motive. Just that it was hidden somewhere, lurking behind the shadows.

I adore Team Rocket. They're a riot, tearing down the forth wall simply because they have nothing better to do. And now I have the hankering to go find the version of the movie you watched.

Yet another great review. Also, I think that the lady in the credits was Molly's original mother, confirmed or not. If I remember the scene correctly (and I've seen the movie loads of times), Molly glances up, looks surprised yet happy, and runs over to her, giving her a huge hug. If this lady had been a new mother, she probably had to have reacted differently. If she had seen her before she probably wouldn't have been surprised, and if she hadn't she certainly wouldn't have given her a big hug. That whole scene screamed "meeting someone you love but haven't seen in a long time" to me. I could be wrong, of course, but that's my opinion.

Dragonfree, TV Tropes is ruining your life.



On a somewhat more relevant note, this is really making me want to watch the third movie. For some reason, I never paid much attention to it, and now I wonder what I've been missing.
