It's sad to see the pokemon movies get fewer and fewer reviews, showing how the show has gotten less popular over the years. Now, I know I probably shouldn't be liking this movie because it is pretty cliché and it doesn't really set any new ground for the series, but I still enjoyed it. It's probably because of the characters. It was great to see Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont in probably the best film in the XY series. We still didn't get any shippy hints with Ash and Serena! I really do praise this film for how good the animation is. Another big highlight was Team Rocket. They really did serve a purpose in this movie.
They appear and actually do briefly work for the main villain. After the main villain no longer needs them, they do go after him and as Meowth is held hostage, they save him. Okay, so they weren't that useful, but dang it, I just love those guys so much! I love being introduced to all these new pokemon with their unique designs. Even Volcanion is a pretty cool guest pokemon. You'd think Ash would be used to pokemon using telepathy by now. How'd he change clothes while still being attached to the belt? It has a pretty heartwarming ending and while goofy, I do like the idea of them becoming honorary pokemon. ***
