While this does not apply to all pokémon and less to the humans this version had a sense of gravitas in some of it’s graphic design. Pokémon eyes feel more alive, where watering eyes in normal anime style are usually a cycle of frames there is more motion to them. Fire has more “heat” to it, water actually feels wet.instead of being a spirally blue beam.

it feels like someone just threw a heavy creature in the sand. smoke animations feel more simulated, dust clouds more calculated. While the animations to fire off an attack can feel clunky, these models have more weight to them. The action also feels a lot nicer in this 3d style. Now I see him much more as a naive kid and I feel much more in tune with his mindset. While I watched the original run I often find myself annoyed at Ash. Misty and Brock are visibly older than Ash which validates his demeanour a lot more. I would love to see a pokémon game in this graphic style someday, and while Ash design is weird, for the first time I believed he was 10.

and for a series that started out as a video game, I actually kinda see a lot of charm in that. There is a level of mechanicalness that conveys something computer game esque. A lot of the clunkier attack animations really reminded me of playing Pokémon Stadium again or the later Coliseum games. Yet to me there is a charm to this clunk. Due to the clunkiness in some motions but the focus on detail it’s flaws really stand out as well. It doesn’t feel right and that feeling is indeed hard to turn off. As a result this definitely is a style we need to get used to. Brock feels a lot more dishevelled, team rocket seems a bit overly moe and way less “mean spirited” and there are some odd choices when it comes to certain pokémon. There is a level of clunk to the motions, the models seem to polished and glossy and Ash his redesign seems odd. While modern animation is increasingly moving towards fluidity in motion and stripping things of non essential elements to increase focus on what is important, this is not what can be seen in Evolution. Let’s start with the negatives as most people out there come in with a negative mindset about this movie, rather than scaring you off by proving your are wrong right away, I will side a bit with the haters first.
#Moemon platinum lumineon movie#
After seeing the entire movie twice now though I must say, I am not opposed to this, I am not in love with it but I think it has some big advantages over the old style on the one hand and comes with a few downsides on the other. Models can feel a bit oily and this doesn’t really match with any pokémon style we have seen so far. Ash looks like a young boy! Also everything looks almost as if we are watching a weird claymation cgi hybrid. It uses a fairly strange CGI look that has gotten a lot of fans scratching their heads. I think it is best to address the elephant in the room first and that is this movies looks. we will have to do with stock google images. Update: I found out I can’t make Netflix Screencaps! So while I actually had an impressive selection of cool screenshots. So is this movie truly an evolution or did I wish the original had it’s everstone equipped? It’s weird animation style caught the eye. Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution is the CGI remake of the first Pokemon movie. This Pokémon Movie has been on Netflix for a good while now and while I originally planned to review all the Pokemon movies leading up to it, I have felt the call call of nostalgia. This is so utterly adorable and charming and since it is on the pokémon official channel I can share it with you! If you want to spend six wholesome minutes please. This six minutes of animation are amongst the best I have seen. The third episode is about Hop’s (your rival) Wooloo. These stories are connected by the fact that they feature a corviknight taxi, hence the name. It’s a seven episode series of 6 minute short episodes, telling self contained stories from the pokémon game universe, opposed to the more liberate anime universe. During the animated series Pokémon Twilight Wings. Which meant I haven’t searched for Beep Beep yet since. so I just got a new controller and Animal Crossing. So I started to shiny hunt for a black one., why do normal types have such awesome shinies anyway?! My Switch controller broke which ended my hunt and I sending them in was a bit difficult for me. I swore not to catch another Wooloo because I loved Beep so dearly that even now that he became kinda ugly, nothing would take his place. I cried a bit when my Wooloo evolved because even though it was still my pokémon some of that appeal had gone. Wooloo quickly became a fan favorite and was turned into a meme.
