I haven't yet seen a Pokemon movie I didn't like, actually. But anyway, let's discuss them. What Pokemon movies do you not like and why? Which one had your least favorite Legendary Pokemon? Which one had your least favorite villain? Which one had your least favorite soundtrack?

Let's hear it.
 
Well let's see my friend - I am happy to be the first one answer you here

1- First movie was great. I like mewtwo story and how he became anger of the world. I love the fighting between mew and mewtwo. Mewtwo is the best then mew in my opinion. (I hate one thing and that is why they always not gave us a detailes about mew? Why they always not gave us any movie or atleast episodes that talk about mew; because to me mew is suppose to be the most mistyrous pokemon around the world? ) I always want to know why they thought that mew is the strongest pokemon before creating mewtwo.

2- I think the second movie is likely; because I love the girl who kissed ash, who tried her best to make ash happy. I hate that misty was anger. Why Mistry? What the matter with you? did Ash told you one day that he love you or like you style? Just one day he impressed from Misty who suppose to be boyish wear bikini and one day impressed from your face who you wear kimono but all the time you anger for face for no reason and I hope that he slap you in your face. I think the fighting between the three legedary pokemon and lugia was fine.

3- I love the girl in the third movie, so I saw the movie not because the story.

4- The fourth movie was fine, I love the boy, the characters in the movie however I hoped that they kill the rocket member.

5- The movie number that talking about latios and latias, I love it because latias love Ash and Bianca too much. I love the story and love Bianca too much. I love her kiss and want to know the the one who kiss Ash, Bianca or Latias. I love the grand pa and the latios.

6- The movie about Jirachi was fine not rememberable However I love the flygon not because he is a dragon no (I hate dragon type more than anything) but I love flygon because it is flygon and ground (ground One of best type that I never seen)

7- I love the boy in the movie number seven that talk about deoxys so I see this movie however this movie not a remeberable too much

8- I don't love the movie number 8 that talk about locario. I just love Mew however How can they do a movie for locario who suppose to be a normal pokemon and giving a mew who suppose to be the most mystrious pokemon a litle events.

9- I don't like the movie number 9, however I love the relaionship between May and the pokemon who love may, I also love the relationship between may and ash.

10- The movie Number 10 was likely, I love it and love the charcters except the lickylicky man - I love the fighting between Dialga and palkia.

11- the movies number 11 and 12 aren't great too much. I love that they show us the infromation about Giratina and Arcues however they not a remembable movie to me

12- I love Zorua too much So I see the movie number 13 however it is not that great.

13- the movies 14 part 1 and part 2 are great however I love victini and zekrom more than victini and reshiram. I just want to see Iris go out of the team and out of the movie. I love Manes, the girl who with Ash and mother and the boy and girl in the movie. I love Cilan and the story. I love victini too much and love the relationship between him and ash. I love this movie because I fell it is not like the episodes. I love the opening song of the movie in English dub and love the Ending song of the movie in Japanese Dub.

14- I love the movie about kyurem and sword of justice because it is not fighting too save the world no this movie for challeging for joining the sword of justice. I love how they show us the power of Kyurem ( I love Kyurem not becuase he is a dragon no, because he is the one of the most special pokemon) I love it because he is too poweful too scary too freezing pokemon - I love it because he is Ice my best type and the strongest Ice too. I hate Iris, her pokemon and how they make Kyurem like a bad pokemon even if it isn't bad .

15- Movie 16 and 17 are likely. the characters are fine however the movie is not remembable too much

16- I am waiting Ringu no chou majin too much. I have hopes for this movie. I love the charcters and love that this movie have a lot of legendary pokemon, however the most misterous pokemon mew not there why I don't know.

Actually, that should go here. This thread is for discussion of the movies you did not like.
 
Keldeo movie, Deoxys movie and Genesect movie, no particular order. These movies just sucks in all aspect.

Deoxys movie's JP ending song isn't bad, but does it fit the movie? No? No!

And did they even thought through the story? I was pondering what I have wasted an hour of my life on after watching these three. The story is just so bland. So damn bland that I don't care about any of the characters. Like really don't care. (Zorue movie is a great one, as I care for both Zorua and Zoroark, although the story is kinda overused and bland, I can still feel the characters and especially, the family love between Zorua and Zoroark)

I haven't watched the Hoopa movie yet, so I can't say if it deserved a spot on the list or not yet.
 
I was underwhelmed with the Genesect movie, it seemed like most of it was Pokemon pewpewing at each other with the human characters in the background most of the time. I would have loved to see more of Not New York, but no dice.
 
Sorry I post to make sure that no one will answer before me
And now I complete it

so if you will ask me about least favourite movies, then I will say 3,4,6,7,8,9,11,12,
 
Movies 10, 13, 17, and 18.

10 marked a time period when all the films began becoming bland and repetitive to me, and Tonio and Alice I swear did more than Brock or TR the entire film.

13 was just so damn boring, and the "meema" thing got annoying very quickly.

17...they went shopping...and badly rehashed the whole crying scene from Movie 1, but switch Ash with Pikachu.

18...well, let my review speak for itself.

Least favorite villain? Probably the one in Movie 17.

Least favorite soundtrack? Movies 17-18 dubbed.

The only Pokemon movie I can say I dislike is movie 9. It's cute and all, but it really bothers me how May is built up as super important, only for Ash to swoop in and save the day in the end. It feels like a cop-out.
 
Pokemon movie 3 because Entei wasn't even real. The Unown weren't interesting and far more powerful than they are in the games which made no sense.
 
Hm?

M01 is truly unforgettable, but only in Japanese. The English version changes Mewtwo from a tragic villain to a cliché villain wanting to take over the world, and replaced lovely music with garbage American pop culture.

Same goes with M05, since the backstory is changed, and the villains were made Team Rocket members with the clichéd goal of taking over the world (rather than the city like in the Japanese version). Including a story on an evil trainer can only be enjoyed by young boys who love superhero movies.

Both versions of M14... can they really be called "Pokémon" movies. It's quite obvious that the plot with Damon wasn't going to be a Pokémon film at all, since 70% of the focus is on him or Ash, with the plots with the two Dragons and Victini appearing as an afterthought. Damon's story would look better for the plot of "San Fransokyo" in Kingdom Hearts III.

M16 has to be the worst film done, because of how continuity was ignored. The film's Mewtwo could've been a popular character in her own right had she got a backstory that didn't copy the one belonging to the more popular Mewtwo.

In contrast, I quite enjoyed M12, M15, and M17, but all three have their bad writing moments. M12 could've been better if they didn't cut back to the present every now and then, and had a better Pokémon to serve as Damos' partner. M15 was just far too short. M17 should've given a bit of foreshadowing for Diancie's Mega Evolution, and had the conflict between Xerneas and Yveltal last a bit longer (and show further that Yveltal wasn't in it's right mind during the rampage).
 
Okay, I've made my mind up.

M04 is my least favorite movie. Too much focus on Celebi being adorable, a very flat villain (Vicious was so zero-note), no subtlety (in the case of the dub), too subtle (in the case of the original), terrible CGI integration, and a very lackluster BGM score.

Least favorite soundtrack = M17 Japanese.

Least favorite Legendary = Genesect.
 
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is my least favorite movie. The plot seemed very rushed, and Kidd was acting so much like a villain in the first few minutes while she was hunting down Mew that I spent the entire movie waiting for her dramatic reveal and was very disappointed when it never came. Also, what are the Regis even doing in this movie? What purpose did they even serve? Why were they there? The greatness of a Pokémon movie does NOT correspond to the number of legendary Pokémon featured. There are other movies with fewer legendaries that are much better.

Not to disregard your opinion, but to contrast, I thought M01's dub was OK disregarding the rewrites, and I thought "Brother My Brother" was okay enough (if cheesy), despite what many here seem to feel, mainly because I find the voice acting and dub music in that to be much better than what we have now.

I thought M05's dub was good, too, Latios still ended up dying, and only a few scenes were cut out/rewritten, aside from that the film still felt relatively the same to me (not to mention it did keep its Japanese OST).
 
Movie 3. The girl was such a brat and unlikeable. And it was so boring. The only good part was Charizard seeing Ash on the TV and dashing to his rescue
 
Japanese: None
English: Mewtwo, Celebi, Lati@s and everything from Darkrai on (because you know, TPCi dub)
Both languages: The trilogy of Darkrai, Giratina & Arceus
 
Movies: "Giratina and the Sky Warrior", "Genesect and the Legend Awakened" (Sorry about the links, I got them off of Wikipedia.)
I like Giratina, but I hate (that particular) Shaymin. He was annoying! As for the Genesect, I hate the new Mewtwo they have. I don't understand why there are multiple Mewtwos.
(I know they were produced in different laboratories, and in fact in the manga there's actually a third Mewtwo made in yet another laboratory, but, to me, it still doesn't make sense to make a second Mewtwo when we already have that people would LOVE to see him again!)

Was that the one with rescuing Ash's mom from Entei, or the Mewtwo Returns?
But, regardless, I often find that most little girls are annoying in movies. Personally, I didn't like her, but I liked her father, and at the very least the father rounded out her character, at the end when he turned back into a human.
 
The Genesect movie was so awful I only managed to watch half an hour of it. I could at least finish the others even if they bored me to death like the Jirachi or victini ones.
