Polls like these are better at generating discussion than any sort of authoritative list, but I figured I’d include a link to this poll by @cinsoundradio.bsky.social : www.cinematicsound.net/100-greatest... do you have a favorite tv, movie, or video game score?

Not as interesting to talk about as the first movie, but I think it’s the better film. Definitely more even.

Most of the modern releases don’t include the shorts, for whatever reason.

There are of course, many great sports movies out there, but in recent years they have tried to show Pokemon as more of a functional world. If I were asked to pitch something, I would try to include elements like that, even if the main character is a Gym Leader or such.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
As far as not doing a mainline adaptation, in the 2010s they had already done Origins and I Choose You, so a third such project may have been something they wanted to avoid anyway. Going with Detective Pikachu also allows the movie to fit into an established genre outside of “sports”.

Well, technically the information we have comes partially through materials that were obtained…dubiously, so consider that how you will.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Sequel has been stuck in rewrites, FWIW. Personally, I wanted/expected them to do stories based on Gym Leaders, Champions, evil teams, etc., but clearly that’s not the direction they’ve taken.

Most folks’ ideal version of this film is a mix and match between the Japanese and Western versions, with some other changes possibly thrown in.
001
pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
It was released in 2000 in the US. Interestingly, because the First Movie was released in early 2000 in some territories, they ended up calling it Pokemon 2. Or were you referring to “The Power of One”.

Was fine. Not a huge reaction-but apparently the crowd was smaller than usual.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

It’s a nice arrangement of the route theme, a little short, though.
010
pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Looks like they chose route 3 & 4 for the music of the Pokémon Sleep Mewtwo event. “Tears of Life” would have been nice, but I can see that being difficult to implement given it’s from a localization of the anime. Technically, Cerulean Cave is on/near route 4, so it kind of works.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I figured they’d do something eventually, though the “2027 and beyond” suggests it’s being released more as a series than a standard movie.
010
pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
The only thing keeping it out of the top spot for me is the music isn’t that interesting outside of the opening scene and credits. Still a strong recommendation.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Otherwise, I think this is a pretty good overview. It’s clear that there are some things to improve (even if next year isn’t the full XP slate of events), and I hope Pokemon continues to do so. Having these things live-streamed and discussed is a huge benefit and I hope to see more.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Expectation that you will have to make decisions about what you can/will attend based on your priorities. It may be possible to improve the scheduling, but I don’t think significantly reducing the number of panels (they would have to do that) is the correct approach.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Admittedly, I am someone who goes to these events more for the social aspect than the competitive one, so I’m not as interested in watching the finals anyway (again, all due respect to the players). That said, this event was marketed and run as a convention, and I think that should come with the

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
During the single day I was able to be at the event proper. While I’m sure there’s folks that wanted to observe both, I think removing the decision does more harm than good, and being able to stream the other side helps make up for the schedule conflict.
100
pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I have to strongly disagree with your idea that panels should be minimized or eliminated on the final day in favor of watching the finals. With all due respect to the talented competitors, as someone with only a Sunday pass, it would have been extremely disappointing not to attend any panels

I only need a few of the movies on Blu-ray at this point (8 & 9, I think), so I won’t be picking it up.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Looks like a 24-movie blu-ray collection of Pokémon films was announced. May explain why we haven’t gotten any theatrical events for the 30th anniversary.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
It’ll be interesting to see what if anything they do for the Mewtwo event. It’s more complicated due to the localization and the remake, of course. “Tears of Life” would be neat, though.

US regulations would likely have required it to be changed, much like how art was changed in Yu-Gi-Oh.

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Also, does this mean the Pokémon TCG exists within the Pokémon world itself?

pokepress.bsky.social @pokepress.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Technically, Path to the Peak exists and this seems like a darker version of that. I don’t want to judge it too much based on what little we know, but it still puzzles me that there haven’t been movies centered around some of the existing human characters and their Pokemon.

2027 and beyond seems to imply this is more of an episodic series rather than a movie.

Seems like my Worlds scavenger hunt tasks only showed up in Pokémon Go today. While that makes some sense since my spectator pass was for today, in prior years you could work on it for the entire weekend, despite having a one-day pass. #pokemonxp

On the flip side, all due respect to the talented competitors, but I had a great time spending my single day at XP. It’s nice that Pokémon is treating this like a convention, like a lot of folks have for 10-15 years.

They did have Liko and Roy’s VA’s demonstrate a dubbing workflow, which you could try for yourself at one of the booths. Overall it had less background information than the panel I went to at Honolulu in 2024, but I still liked it.
