Pokémon: The Movie 2000: Difference between revisions

Line 45:

* [[Deconstruction]]: Similar to the [[Pokémon the First Movie (Anime)|previous film]], the movie breaks down one of Pokémon's core tenets. This time, it's "[[Gotta Catch Them All]]"; and boy does he ''[[Nightmare Fuel|gotta]].''

* [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]]: Sort of. Professor Oak had an extra line theorizing that lightning striking volcanic seawater began a chemical reaction that created life on Earth. And in the scene on Lawrence's ship, Tracey had a line that went something like this:

{{quote| '''Tracey:''' Electricity plus fire plus water...electricity separates water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is then recombined using fire which means - [[Explain Explain Oh Crap|EVERYBODY GET DOWN]]!}}

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Lugia and Slowking appear here before the release of the ''[[Anime/Pokemon Gold And Silver|Pokemon Gold And Silver]]'' video games. ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'' had appearances by Elekid, Hoothoot, and Ledyba as well.

* [[Enemy Mine]]: The Team Rocket trio assists Ash when he attempts to grab Articuno's sphere, claiming that if the world were to come to an end, there'd be "no one left to steal from". However, it becomes clear that they've got more noble motives when they [[Heroic Sacrifice|sacrifice]] themselves to help Lugia and Ash escape later, because it also makes it really hard to steal if you're dead. Luckily, though, the three survive the plunge.

* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Obviously.

Line 56:

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|The Team Rocket trio. They get better.}}

* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|He's Not My Boyfriend]]: Misty about Ash throughout the movie. At one point Jessie and James about each other.

* [[Hey It's That Voice]]: In the original Japanese version, Lawrence III is voiced by [[Iron Chef|Takeshi Kaga]] and Lugia's voiced by [[Koichi Yamadera]].

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the original Japanese version, Lawrence III is voiced by [[Iron Chef|Takeshi Kaga]] and Lugia's voiced by [[Koichi Yamadera]].

* [[It's Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans]]

* [[List Song]]: "[[Weird Al Yankovic|Polkamon]]" in the end credits.

Line 84:

'''Meowth''': Youse two don't need the opposite sex cause youse got each otta. *laughs like a maniac* }}

** Oddly (considering that the Team Rocket trio's lines get re-written most of the time), these lines are fairly similar to the Japanese dialogue, with Meowth originally saying "Whatever you say. You guys get love-love all the time!".

* [[Shout Out]]: The concept of misaligning three divine beings (or in this particular case, legendary Pokémon) and it causing a major calamity as a result is extremely similar to ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'', the two major differences are that the main villain in that game, unlike here, is fully aware that his actions would cause the world to be ravaged, and yet did it anyways simply because he could, and that unlike in the game, here the destruction of the world was actually averted, although just barely.

* [[Soft Water]]: {{spoiler|When Team Rocket lets go of Lugia, they fall through a hole in the ice. They're stunned momentarily, but swim right back to the surface}}.

** [[Made of Iron|Not that this is unusual for them, though]].
