Digitally Remastered ‘Pokémon: The First Movie’ to Air

The very first Pokémon is set to air in North America on Cartoon Network on January 4th at 8:30 am (confirm with your local listings). The movie has been digitally remastered and should be a real treat for older fans of the series who may have seen the movie when they were younger.

Movie Synopsis

Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, had ambitious plans to take over the world, involving his latest experiment, a powerful clone of Mew—Mewtwo. Mewtwo is very powerful, and also very smart—smart enough to not want to be controlled by Giovanni. It escaped from the lab, and now Mewtwo begins to concoct its own scheme, clandestinely inviting a number of Pokémon Trainers to the ultimate test. Of course, if it’s an event for talented Trainers, Ash Ketchum will be right in the front row!

Ash’s excitement turns to fear and anger when Mewtwo reveals its plan for domination, creating powerful clones of all of the kids’ Pokémon so it can even the “imbalance” between Pokémon and their Trainers. Despite Ash’s protests, Mewtwo refuses to believe that Pokémon and people can be friends. But faced with the determination of a young Trainer and the love of his Pokémon, Mewtwo just might have to reconsider, especially when pitted against the power of the mysterious Mew! — Official Site

Enjoy!

  1. @MayorSkiddo:disqus I added the dex entry for it on the Starter Submissions page. I want to get the results in ASAP so we can start designing Grass starters. Can you draw or get someone to design it for you?

  2. Since ShinyNoivern didn’t do it today. I guess I’ll do my own:

    Pokemon Theory Of The Day:

    – Is N Zoroark? –

    Someone on Youtube by the username DataDrain posted this and I absolutely loved it:

    “First off. There’s the Backpacker NPC in B2/W2’s Lostlorn Forest. Who gives you the TM for Snarl… He seemed somewhat normal. Telling you about a “rumor” of a Zoroark being in the forest 2 years ago… Warning you about how Zoroark might trick you…
    And then he turned out to be a Zoroark himself. So some Zoroark at least can mimic humans pretty well… While others like the event Zoroark don’t.

    The memory link with N’s memories are triggered by a Zoroark being in the building where the reformed Plasma grunts are.

    And apparently according to Masuda himself… “N believes he was born from Pokémon; the parents are unknown.”

    And now for some tinfoil hat kinda stuff.

    The letter N side ways is a Z! Red and Black are opposite colors to Green and White! LIKE POKEMON VERSIONS!!! Shot

    But there are also things that kinda contradict this. Why would a Zoroark be able to fool people for THAT many years? Wouldn’t Ghetsis, or some other Plasma grunts have caught on? Can a Zoroark fool so many people for that long, with the exact same illusion?

    Ahem Who knows. Until they actually come out and say one way or the other. We’ll just continue speculating. The theory is likely not true. But still. It is interesting to speculate on.”

  3. Would you guys be interested if PJN had Pokemon Daily Theories or Facts? I mean Daily Facts can be on the home page next to the poll. What do you guys think?

  4. Daely Snack- Speculating on Pokemon theories.
    Daely Fact- Pokemon Fact of the day.

    I was thinking the Daely Snack could just be a huge article dedicated to the speculation of Pokemon theories. Come on, we all like it and speculating would be really fun. Especially with adapt and smart people who know quite a lot about Pokemon.
