The Pokémon franchise has never been anything short of ambitious. Starting as a Gameboy title set across two versions, featuring 150 Pokémon in total, the series now boasts over 30 titles, an incredibly popular trading card game, and a long running anime series, and now 649 Pokémon for players to collect. Back in the late 90′s, Pokémon absolutely EXPLODED, and was even popular enough to have a handful of its movies released in American theaters. This week on Gaming On Film, PixelJumpers takes a look back at the first theatrically released Pokémon movie, fittingly dubbed Pokémon: The First Movie.
In honor of the franchises 20th anniversary and a resent surge in its popularity, Pokémon: The First Movie will be returning to theaters for a limited time.
In February, the first three Pokemon films will be released on Blu-Ray. This is the first time North Americans can get this film on Blu-Ray. -Twinfinite
Pikachu!
I loved this movie!
The part where Ash became petrified made me cry :)
I'm glad I was lucky enough to be apart of the pokemon craze when I was a kid.
