Meh, if I were to take the time to watch this, I'll just watch the animated one back in the day.

For some reason Sonic, Pikachu and other similar game to movie adaption look so awful atleast to me.

This just doesn't have the same appeal to me as the 'original' film did back when it was released but you're damn right I'm going to sit down and watch this in all its glory. I've no shame in admitting that the scene where Ash turns to stone and Pikachu rocks up is a heartbreaker for me and I've no idea why but it is all the feels. This is my childhood movie and Netflix, you're a hero for bringing it back for me. The only question is, which Pokemon hoodie do I put on for this?
