Pokémon 2000 The Movie: The Power of One
This movie starts with a tiny short called “Pikachu’s Rescue Adventure.” Unlike the short which accompanied Pokémon The First Movie, Pikachu’s Rescue Adventure contains substance as well as cuteness. It focuses, as the name suggests, on Pikachu’s adventure rescuing–Togepi! The short treats the viewer to Pikachu’s intelligence, bravery, and of course, cuteness. Like the first short, it goes out of its plan to present a wide variety of Pokémon, including four recent ones, which I understand are named Hoothoot, Ladyba, Bellossom and Elekid. Elekid, a original electric Pokémon, plays a major role after becoming friends with Pikachu through an exchange of electricity. (Hoothoot and Bellossom now have played indispensable roles in episodes of Pokémon: The Johto Journeys on television as well.) You’ll even finally salvage to seek a Snorlax do something other than eat and sleep!
The Power of One itself seems substantially less dismal than its precursor, yet manages to outdo the First Movie’s fable of MewTwo versus Mew. The Power of One Introduces us to a unusual Pokémon, a much Guardian of the Water named Lugia which is nearly as stout as the three legendary birds–Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno–combined. It’s also nearly as noteworthy as the three combined. I say “nearly” because, according to an venerable prophecy, without the serve of the Chosen One all of its efforts to terminate the three from fighting will near to nothing, “making the world turn to ash.” And who should be the Chosen One? Well, as Misty realizes, the prophecy DOES say that the world will “turn to Ash.”

As an added itsy-bitsy bonus, the movie finally provides first names for Professors Oak and Ivy, and for Mrs. Ketchum, Ash’s mom. It also gives two uproarious, albeit non-speaking cameo appearances by the fresh companion of Ash and Misty–Brock the Rock. Fans of Brock, myself included, may get his small role disappointing. Fans of Tracey, Brock’s replacement, may also be disappointed at his minute role in The Power of One. Moltres fans might be disappointed that he isn’t a good-guy like he was in his one appearance in the TV series, and at the scheme he’s been drawn for the movie. Misty fans, however, will revel in her pivotal role.
Team Rocket fans, perpetually hoping to bag their heroes playing a role other than that of the inept butt of jokes, will obtain their hopes finally realized. Team Rocket too plays a pivotal role in The Power of One, contain it or not, deliberately and through the creativity of Jesse, James and Meowth! Ah Team Rocket, we always knew your tendency to “reflect outside the box” would pay off one day.
In addition to Lugia and Team Rocket’s effectiveness, the movie offers something else new: a modern Pokémon called Slowking. Slowking, the final evolved perform of Slowpoke and Slowbro, resembles a Slowbro, but with the spiral Shellder on its head rather than on its tail. Best of all, the Slowking can reveal. When you hear what he has to say, you’ll be gay he can. Lugia’s no high-tail at communication either–like MewTwo, he fair psychically speaks in Ash’s head. Shapely, huh?

The Power of One offers an incredible spectacle of color and animation. The movie produces vibrant images, color and sound. I found the music friendly too, although I must warn you that as with the first movie, most of the songs on the soundtrack appear only over the closing credits and have diminutive to do with the movie itself. At least more of the songs from the this soundtrack seem at least generally related to Pokémon. You will definitely want to peek the closing credits, however, both to hear “Strange” Al Yankovic’s “Polkamon” song and to recognize the second, hysterically-funny, cameo appearance by Brock. If you like Pokémon you will like this movie; your miniature Pokémaniac (either the one you tuck into bed at night or the one hiding inside you) will like it.
Many people criticized “Mewtwo Strikes Help” when the first Pokemon movie was released in the US, because in comparison with the obliging Japanese version it was a mess, missing out critical things that explained about the characters (such as The Birth Of Mewtwo), and it had sloppy characterization.
However, I’m satisfied to say that this film is generally noteworthy better than the first Pokemon movie. The status involves a Pokemon collector called Laurence III who wants to remove the three Legendary birds Articuno. Zapdos and Moltres – or the Gods of Ice, Lightning and Fire as they’re called here. Unfortunately, this creates a astronomical quandary with Earth’s weather patterns, causing violent storms and snow, and it is left up to Ash to salvage them support, and return things to normal.
There are some runt hints to the possibility of an Ash/Misty romance in this film – when Ash arrives on the island at the beginning of the movie, a girl called Melody kisses Ash on the cheek which makes Misty really jealous, as well as some other cute moments.
Sadly, in spite of an improved set I possess that, as before, the choice of music stands out as the film`s downfall and the producers haven`t learnt from the mistakes they made in the first film. Apart from a few exceptions (“The Record Comes To Life” is a fabulous track), this movie replicates the same pop-styled rubbish passe in the First Movie. The remix of the TV theme song (“Pokemon World” performed by Youngstown & Nobody’s Angel) is absolutely atrocious, with a scratchy beat and synthesized vocals. The campaign to ban vocoders starts here…
Next time round, I would like to eye a better choice of music which is less pop-orientated, but I`m not holding my breath…
Overall though, in spite of the poor soundtrack, this is a major improvement on the First Movie which I believe any Pokemon fan should add to their collection.
