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. Out of curiosity, how old are protagonists in Pokemon games nowadays? I heard that the the ones in BW were 14 and in B2W2 they were 12.

    As for XY, I predict that Callem and Serena are 16 because I compared my character’s (Callem) height w/ Emma (who is confirmed to be 16) and their heights were practically the same (stupid hat gave me trouble).

  2. An idea for a future game…an underwater shipwreck, that you have to explore…and then at the end of it is an interactable…..Avalugg.

    Genius or what?

  3. Alright, time to finally start Masuda breeding Treecko with the shiny charm. 😀 The past few days, I got 2-3 shiny per day in the wild. Let’s hope the shiny charm works with breeding. (For those who say it won’t affect breeding, it could still a mistranslation since the Japanese text didn’t specify.)

  4. People who say Gen 1 is boring have mental problems… if it were boring then the game wouldn’t be what it is today because no one would have played it, maybe it doesn’t have everything the games after it did but that is to be expected because everything improves over time.
    Saying gen one sucked makes you look Worse than any genwunner, make you look like someone who hasn’t played gen one, yet somehow still have an opinion on it or you just dis it because it sounds like the right thing to do.. either way.. its not the truth and annoying

    • the reason why gen 1 was so suscessful because it was something new something we havnt seen and now where we are it like crap now

    • Gen 1 is boring compared to all of the other games gen 1 was not always boring but i (all of other people ) can agree gen 1 was a boring generation right now.

        • I don’t think that is a valid enough opinion on its own.. that’s all I hear anyone who doesn’t like Gen 1 say… its being recycled… It isn’t the only one with no post game… Tis gen basically had no post game but it doesn’t suck

          Reply
          • I didn’t say it sucked i liked the gen very much it kicked off with pokemon but if you want me to be more exact
            No post game
            Terrible sprites
            The game didn’t have a story that was pleasing to me
            Screeching Cries
            The name Seel
            The glitches
            Overpowered Psychic
            The special Stat
            Physical Type and Special Type
            Those are some the reasons in my opinion it was a not so great region I liked it but i just didn’t like as much, people have their own opinion so i respect yours, you should not say someone else’s opinion is not valid.

    • Many people are biasing their opinions based on the greatness of the current gen games, which when compared to Gen 1…. well they sucked. I see it as 2 extremes always fighting, the nostalgias and the currents. Neither side is right, you’re not a true fan if you hate the history of the game or hate the future of the game.

    • When red/blue came out I was 10. Of course it’s dear to my heart, but most people here weren’t even my age at the time. So they grew up differently. I respect that, and they can hate gen 1 as much as they want, doesn’t bother me. I hate gen 5, and they really shouldn’t be bothered by that either.

      • I think a remake should happen.. add all of the advancements to the game, including new pokemon and post game then see what everyone thinks..

        Reply
        • It’s really the same type of debate in the Zelda series as well. Older fans love A link to the past, while younger ones love the 3D titles. If they make Red/Blue like A Link Between Worlds, where it’s not really a remake but a love letter to both old and new fans, I would love it! But in a way, I do feel that Kalos achieves that to a good extent.

          • Exactly!.. maybe even make a Hoenn Remake.. where you can go to Kanto at the end!
            I’m asking for too much haha

    • It’s not fact… it’s an opinion. Yes, people who say Generation One “sucked” may seem or even interpreted as someone reaching a level of hate one can only desire to not obtain. Although the challenges may be conclusive, one has to think, who made me think of this? Is it my own intention or is it someone else? Blaming your thinking and problems on someone else may seem bad but at the end of the day, SOMEONE either influenced you or you made that kind of judgement/opinion seem as if it were a fact. Either way, genwunners influence us to hate on Generation One just to keep them away. Yes, it is awful but you have to know, influence plays a larger role than evil VS good in terms of opinion.

      • Yeah I ONLY see people say Gen One sucked.. after someone said they Loved it.. but the “Genwunners” rarely say Gen 1 was the best anymore, the just get labeled that after expressing any joy for the first games.. which really upsets me
        Anti “Genwunners” are just as bad as Genwunners themselves but no one seems to understand this

        Reply
        • odd. I see a lot more genwunners saying pokemon has gone downhill/sucks/should give up. Like.. so many… maybe because the other site I hang out in is filled with people trying to be cool and copy what everyone else says.

          However, I know every gen has their greatness somewhere in them..even if I didn’t like gen 4 too much. no gen sucks, it’s all based on opinion c:

        • YOU may think none seem to understand but in reality, we do. Why would the war between Anti-Genwunners and Genwunners even started in the first place? Why are we here stating OPINIONS about it? Because… whether you like it or not, you either oppose something, follow, or lead. That’s human nature. To us, we may seem like our opinions are fact and no-one understands but to other people, they understand. Yes. What you’re saying is true but by pushing thee limits to your word usage, people want to rebel against you. By choosing the right words, you may actually have started quite an interesting debate. It’s about how you use those words…

          Reply
          • No…. I go by what I see, If no one saying they see both sides then they are not… they both have strong opinions and only display one side.. you can’t put words in peoples mouths
            My original post is taking No Side and simply talking up for people who like gen one but aren’t GENWUNNERS
