Synopsis

The homeland of the Genesect exists no more. After three hundred million years, the snowy mountains where the Paleozoic Pokémon once lived are no longer habitable—but not all of the race are actually extinct. Several specimens are still alive and desperate to find a new place to call home. Led by a Shiny Genesect and accompanied by the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, the vagabond creatures arrive in New Tork City.

Perceiving the city skyline as similar to their initial habitat, the Genesect take over the city center, driving out other Pokémon and threatening the existence of the local populace. On top of that, the Genesect leader confronts Mewtwo in a cunning, fast-paced duel that is bound to destroy the entire city—and it's up to Satoshi and his companions to save the city and reconcile the feuding Pokémon.

Ive been watching Pokemon movies from movie 1, and I know that Ash and Mewtwo have a lot of connection going on. When I first saw the trailer, I was anticipating a sort of reunion for those two, but this movie did not even do that. Mewtwo and Ash have absolutely no memory of meeting each other, so I was very disappointed in that aspect.

As a old Pokemon fan, this movie was not that great compared to the other movies back then. I would also like to add in that the drawing for Mewtwo is very disappointing compared to his original look back in movie ...

Mixed Feelings
I grew up watching Pokemon during it's 2nd gen. and even this movie hurts to watch sometimes.
This movie is much like other pokemon movies. The storyline is simple enough to for anyone to follow, has decent morals for younger audiences, and the art style is a noticeably better than how it would usually look in the it's TV counterpart.
Anyone who's watched both the TV show and the movies would know that there is little to no continuity between them, other than the TV show with Mewtwo (in the 1st gen.) and the 1st 3 movies within the 3rd gen. (Diamond and Pearl).
However, this ...

Genesect and the Legend Awakened is the worst thing that happened to Pokemon since the Porygon scene in first season of the show. I usually structure my reviews, but I just want to get this one over with.

Why does Mewtwo look deformed most of the time? His muzzle looks like a Lucario ripoff. He's a female now. A different personality, a different voice actor, a different role. First film has apparently been retconned.

Genesect are the most unlikable bunch of antagonists in any Pokemon film. Except for maybe Marauder in Celebi. Cold blooded killers and stupid savages, there's no reason to care for them or what ...
