Topic: Pokemon the Movie:The Archdjinni of the Rings: Hoopa

You can talk about the new movie. Also with most of the legendary Pokemon confirmed it looks like it be one of the best movies in a long time.

Got a Trailer?

Legendary Pokemon are fighting each other!!!! This needs to be a game!!!!!

Will this be one of the best or one of the worst?

I can't make critical assumptions yet as, for one, I haven't see it for obvious reasons.. but the mentality I'm getting at is if the whole "every legend" thing in the movie will make it seem epic, or really dumb. To me this movie sounds like, "Hey! Just throw every legendary in the movie, have them clash, let's not think it out it all and just make a random pokemon spawn them all, done!"

It's difficult to explain where I'm getting that vibe.. just it seems kinda like an unoriginal idea in my eyes. To the point where arceus of all pokemon is just thrown in the movie, even the latis are not considured legendary pokemon in the anime, they're just rare like zoroark. (You see trainers using latios and latias in the anime casually.) Just seems like a really predictable and odd movie.

That being said.. it can also turn to be one of the best if they make the battle epic, and make the plot/story connectable and well detailed. One thing pokemon did successfully with movies like heroes, genesect, jewel of life, etc is that they had very nice background stories and touching scenes that connected with the viewer either through sorrow or even a sense of atmosphere. So far what I'm seeing isn't connectable, it's going to be more of a battle at the start, battle til the end, and may or may not get repetive. However they constantly change trailers and movies.. In cocoon of destruction, the trailers revealed that all x/y mega evolutions would make an appearence, yveltal would appear in a canyon, and it would have an epic battle with xerneas.. no, instead no megas were seen other than minor cameos, yveltal appeared in a pool of death, and xerneas basicly just stared at yveltal and it flew away to who knows where.

For all we know maybe the battle will be castrophic like the rise of darkrai and epic, with plenty of scenes regarding story and atmosphere inbetween the battling like rise of darkrai and jewel of life.

Ah well, I know I'm quick to judge but truth is we can only wait to see the movie ourselves. It really just depends how they go about the all legends, there's a right way and a wrong way.. and both way are very difficult to describe how to achieve with such a large theme like this.

Maybe there will be a plot twist with zygarde, considuring this is all undoubtfully screwing up the environment with these pokemon battling.

How do you even pronounce Archdjinni?

Have to agree with you, @MegaBeedrill . Throwing everything but the kitchen sink into one movie is usually a recipe for disaster, they're going to have to approach this carefully so it isn't just a mediocre spectacle film.

lol @ Sarena's outfit. If that look really is for XZYZ, it's going to be painful walking around in that before I save up enough money for a new outfit. Hope for the guys' sakes that Calem's new look isn't half as atrocious looking.

Me too but I have a feeling that they going to change it before it is released I mean who in the right mind will release the game with Serena looking like that but knowing Nintendo it won't be changed.

Last I checked serena's hair style was changeable in x/y.
