Responsible for celebrating the 20th anniversary of a globally popular anime franchise, the 20th movie Pokémon: I Choose You (Pokémon: I Choose You) is packed with many valuable details that only true fans will know.
1. Talking Pikachu
In episode 17 of the first long-running anime series, about 20 years ago, the creators of Pokémon gave Pikachu the opportunity to express its thoughts in the typical language `pika pika` and run subtitles.
According to the main content of the movie, Satoshi and Pikachu’s first meeting was not harmonious.
That will definitely be the sentence that makes you burst into tears and is the most important line that confirms the friendship of this couple we have loved throughout our youth.
2. Satoshi and things you don’t know
In an interview, female editor Kunihiko Yuyama revealed that Pokémon: I Choose You is a parallel world to the main storyline of the Pokémon world over the past 20 years.
Satoshi’s appearance has also been restored in a new style.
Ms. Kunihiko also said that over the past two centuries, the character Satoshi has never aged, he is still a 10 year old boy with an endless passion to travel and capture Pokémon all over the world.
3. Landing of the 2nd generation `rare` Pokémon
In the 20th movie, you have the opportunity to meet almost all the legendary Pokémon of the 2nd generation such as Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Celebi… Of course, except for Ho Ou who appears as the lead character.
4. `Honorary cameos`
These are inherently super supporting characters in the series, but play an indispensable role in the life of main character Satoshi.
Another interesting information: It’s been 9 years since we last saw Satoshi’s mother on the big screen since her appearance in the 11th Pokémon movie. As for Professor Okido, you’ll miss him.
5. Pokémon are released
During the anime’s journey, there are many cases of Pokémon being captured by trainers but then released back into the wild.
However, for the first time in a movie, Satoshi proactively freed Butterfree, the butterfly-shaped Pokémon that had been on his team since he was in his original Caterpie form.
6. Don’t miss after credits!
Once you step into the theater, you will realize that every minute from the moment the curtain lights up is worthwhile and well-invested.
There’s nothing more interesting than when you discover how hard the crew worked to ensure the promise of blending both the past and future of the Pokémon world into this 20-year tribute movie.
7. The most elaborate movie
Not only changing the character designs and investing in improving drawings, Pokémon: I Choose You is the first movie in the Pokémon world produced with 4K image quality.
8. The most pitiful Pokémon
Rentorar is officially the most pitiful Pokémon of the series because it cannot be revived after death.
If other Pokémon over the past 20 years will be reborn in many different forms, this movie has left a silence by accepting Sentorar’s death and turning it into a sad memory to create character.
9. Satoshi `died`
Do you believe in that?
This year, in the 20th anniversary movie, the filmmakers once again put the boy’s life to the test in Pokémon: I Choose You!
