Give me good reasons why I shouldn't order this right this moment
it's overpriced for one but I need more
I kinda would like it to be across the games themselves. However, Pokemon Online may make it easier to setup. People would have to create teams which take time though.
So they both have their pros and cons.
Professor Oak in HD. I cannot tell you to not get it, my apologies.

Why did you bring this to my attention? must resist, remembering that the latios and latias one was pretty weak to cancel out the urge.

I don't have a BluRay player, and you should feel sufficiently sympathetic that you shouldn't purchase it.
The Zoroark movie exists.
I've only seen Heroes once about 8 years ago. I have very little memory of it. It'll probably be the next stop on my list of DVDs to pick up.

Which is the best Pokemon movie?

use the ps3 you play nier on
Because both of them are terrible Pokemon movies.

Good enough for me. I would also have accepted "no Movie 3".
The Johto series is my "Transformers" though. I loved it. And those movies were part of that love.

Lucario movie, followed by Lugia, first Celebi and Giratina movies.
This set has the Celebi movie in it. Nuh uh.
Mewtwo Returns. Not that many people have watched it since it was like the first Pokemon movie to not be in theaters. I only saw it a few years ago.

BRO-FIST. It's seriously good. Having Team Rocket be an actual threat really makes the film.
The best actual movie is 2000

I thought Mewtwo returns was pretty underwhelming, I just remember Mewtwo looking far too weak since Giovanni managed to one up him for a good portion of the movie with some kind of gadget, or maybe Giovanni was just that awesome.
Never seen 2000, Movie 3 and any beyond the Darkrai one.
I can easily say that Jirachi wishmaker was the worst.

Eh. It's underrated, and is probably better than Mewtwo Strikes Back, but it's got a MUCH smaller budget, and it shows (it was just a TV special in Japan, IIRC). Also, Giovanni was horrifically squandered.

Most people say either 3, 2000 or Arceus; but I personally like Giratina and Deoxys for no specific reason.
The worst ones are probably Heroes and Jirachi IMO. Both just felt so much weaker for one reason or another (although Jirachi had my favourite minimovie, so there's that I guess).

I say Movie 3 in the cinema, which was nice. I have a special like for it because of that, I never saw any other Pokemon film in the cinema besides that one.
And the wait for 4Ever to come out on DVD in the UK was excruciating.

The third movie is the best.

If it is the best, it's because one thing pushes it over the top.
You know what I'm talking about.
Ditto for both. My parents got me a 2000 DVD before it came out here in cinemas, though.
It was a real thrill to be able to finally buy the Deoxys DVD earlier this year. I finally fulfilled the wishes of me when I was 10 years old.

3 has Unown as the antagonists. Fuck your legendary shit.

I have fond memories of Destiny Deoxys, yet all I actually remember is Metagross hover form.

That movie really works well... Until the last big action scene, where the movie completely and utterly flips its shit. It's kind of charming exactly how far it outreaches its ambitions with CGI and staging, though, and that sequence is probably my favourite bit of the movie.

I stopped liking the show once Advanced started, so yeah. Actually, Advanced started, and that's when I stopped watching it and started watching the repeats of JJ/JLC/Master Quest on Sky1 because I'd missed a whole lot.
By time they'd shown the Silver League, I'd had my socks rocked off, plus I had 4Ever and Heroes. And then I was old enough to finally decide that yeah, I'm done with this. :lol I bought Chronicles Vol 1 on DVB in the process though, seeing as I couldn't get Cartoon Network. The Raikou TV movie is pretty cool.
I've since given away all my Pokemon DVD/videos to some kids down the road. I think Chronicles blew their minds.

Advanced is the worst cycle of the anime, though.
Diamond and Pearl > Kanto = Black and White > Orange Islands > Johto > Advanced

I actually missed most of Johto the first time around, jumped back in around Master Quest, slogged through Advanced and bowed out after the Battle Frontier stuff. The Gen 3 series were mostly dreck, though I oddly enjoyed May's contest stuff and the creepy guy dressed like a Cacturne.
Shame they don't release or air the older series over here, the old movies are all we have left, though right this second I have the option of watching Sinnoh league victors, yay?

But Master Quest is the best series.
MASTER QUEST IS THE BEST SERIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
And Advanced Challenge I always thought had an OK theme song. Kinda.

This Sinnoh episode i'm half watching has some sort of angry martial artist Mister Mime, what madness is this?
Orange Islands is my favorite.
Snorlax episode + Pinkan Island are great episodes, and there's a lot more.

I used to have a novelisation of the Pinkin Island episode.

Billiechu, you're essentially backing yourself into a corner where eventually your complete lack of interest in Pokemon is going to get you kicked out the Pokemon |OT|

It's weird, because the first few episodes of Battle Frontier suck...boring fillers using old Pokemon. But then, after Greta, it kicks into gear as you get evolutions, captures, Frontier Brains, or Contests every episode basically.
I love that episode.
