      Storyline

      Edit

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        This was the final Pokémon film to be dubbed into English by 4Kids Entertainment. The company later went bankrupt in the early 2010s due to an infamous Yu-Gi-Oh! lawsuit. Beginning with the next film, The Pokémon Company International would take over and most of the voice actors would be replaced, much to the disappointment of the fans.
      • Goofs
        Though Erica Schroeder was credited by her "Bella Hudson" alias like the rest of her Pokémon work during the 4Kids era, she is listed in the "Featuring" section of the cast credits (sorted alphabetically by last name) between Sean Schemmel and Rebecca Soler.
      • Quotes

        Ash: [after being headlocked by Lucario] Why did you do that?

        Lucario: You snuck up behind me; that is always a mistake.

        Ash: Hey Lucario, I'm really glad you're coming along to help me find Pikachu.

        Lucario: This Pikachu, are you its master?

        Ash: Master? Are you kidding? No Pikachu and I are best friends.

        Lucario: Friends?

        Ash: If one of your friends was lost, you'd wanna bring 'em too, wouldn't ya?

        Lucario: I don't have any friends and I don't want any.

        [leaves the room]

        Ash: [sarcastically] Nice attitude.

      • Crazy credits
        During the end credits, various scenes depict the following: 1) Ash and company arriving back at the palace, and seeing the picture of Sir Aaron--only now it also depicts Lucario at his side. 2) Them leaving to continue on their journey. 3) Them saying good-bye to Kidd, and Brock crying helplessly. 4) Kidd meeting up with somebody to examine a rare find. 5) Team Rocket following the gang in a river-side city. 6) Sir Aaron and Lucario sharing a chocolate bar (more than likely in the afterlife). 7) Ash, Pikachu, May, Brock and Max continuing on their travels.

      Best Pokemon Movie Yet

      I was a little hesitant to watch this movie, after seeing the other Advanced Generation movies (Jirachi, Deoxys). But I'm glad I did. The opening was one of the best introductions I've ever seen to any movie, and the title was just as impressive. I was a little curious as to why the main theme (I'm Unbeatable) was postponed until twenty minutes into the movie, but it went well with that particular scene. And the plot was fascinating, albeit with holes in places. At places, the movie even made me cry--something that hasn't been done since Pokemon Heroes.

      Overall, an enjoyable film. Highly recommended, even to non-Pokemon fans.
