Fake Entei & 9 Other Weird Things In The Pokémon Movies

Pokémon currently has over 20 movies, both live-action and animated. Through these movies, fans are able to learn about the crucial role that each Legendary Pokémon plays in that universe and follow the main characters that were featured in the anime at that time, which means Ash Ketchum is in most of them.

However, there are some strange things that happen in the movies that really stand out, seeming more like tools to push the plot rather than something that would genuinely exist in the Pokémon world. Despite the nonsensical moments that pop up in every movie, they never fail to entertain the viewers.

10 A Strange Fake Entei

Following the disappearance of her father In Pokémon 3: The Movie, Molly Hale comes across the Unown responsible for his disappearance. She asks them to play, and instead of asking for her father back, she instead wishes for Entei to appear and starts to call him her father. She makes the same mistake when asking for a mother, specifically asking for Ash’s mother to play the role. Each Pokémon Movie features a legendary, but the real Entei never makes an appearance in this one.

9 Ash Is The Chosen One

Ash received all of the glory in Pokémon The Movie: 2000. There was a prophecy that predicted a world-ending danger if the three legendary birds were to ever be disturbed, and in that scenario, the world would turn to Ash. The prophecy had unknown origins and specifically used his name. It never states why he is so special, but he is the only person on the planet capable of calming down the legendary birds.

8 Lucario’s Flashbacks

Lucario, being sealed away by his master for so long in Pokémon: Lucario And The Mystery Of Mew, has no idea what happened in the past. While the story progresses, the movie often transitions to Lucario’s flashbacks to his life before his confinement.

Unfortunately, many of these transitions are jarring, as they have little to no connection to the things being said in the present. Lucario eventually comes across flowers that record memories, which makes the transitions to the past much more natural, but the flowers were also an odd choice.

7 Lucario Sacrificed Itself For No Reason

Pokémon: Lucario And The Mystery Of Mew actually had no villains, as the protagonists were focused on finding Pikachu and uncovering Lucario’s past. In order to inspect the area inhabited by Mew, Kidd Summers sends out a bunch of drones that start drilling into the area’s crystals. This sends the Tree Of Beginnings into a chaotic state as it retaliates against them. Lucario is the only one able to stop the destruction of the tree, which houses so many Pokémon. Saving the tree cost Lucario its life, which was something that could have easily been avoided.

6 Pokémon Tears Can Save A Life

In Pokémon: The First Movie, Ash Ketchum decides that the only way to stop the fighting is to get between Mew and Mewtwo’s battle. By doing so, their psychic blasts combine are enough to kill him, turning him into stone. Pikachu immediately rushes over to check on him and begins to cry. Mournful, all of the other Pokémon start to cry as well after seeing what their violence has led to. These tears seem to have the magical power to bring Ash back to life, but it seems more like a plot convenience than a power that would actually exist in the Pokémon world.

5 Latias Can Disguise Itself As A Human

When Ash saves Latias in Pokémon Heroes: Latios And Latias, he doesn’t realize he rescued a Pokémon since Latias usually disguises itself as its human friend Bianca. This is its way of showing its affection for Bianca. Not many Pokémon are capable of doing something like this, but this means that a lot of the time, there are two Biancas walking around town. Many people would not be comfortable having a Pokémon walk around with their own face.

In Pokémon: I Choose You!, the moments in which Ash meets Misty and Brock are completely cut out. Instead, he meets two new characters, Verity and Sorrel. While Sorrel is a little more unique, Verity is exactly like Misty.

She is stubborn, quick to anger, picks on Ash, and she even uses water Pokémon. Although the movie was attempting to re-imagine the anime, the characters that it introduced were not very memorable.

3 Hoopa’s Powers Gain Consciousness

Pokémon: Hoopa And The Clash Of Ages Introduced Hoopa, a Pokémon that was so eager to show off that it continuously summoned other Legendary Pokémon to battle. Realizing that Hoopa was getting out of control, the villagers sealed its powers away in a bottle. The sealed powers somehow gained a consciousness, feeling rage towards the people who sealed it and aiming to destroy them all. The powers weren’t a living thing, but this plot choice allowed many Legendary Pokémon to appear and battle each other in the movie.

2 Volcanion Is Saved By Flowers

In Pokémon The Movie: Volcanion And The Mechanical Marvel, Volcanion decides to sacrifice itself by going into a castle falling out of the sky. He had to blow it up to keep it from crashing into the valley full of Pokémon. After he succeeds, he collapses in the middle of the valley. In order to save Volcanion’s life, Magearna pulls out a bouquet of flowers and holds it up to his nose. This makes him sneeze, and somehow, his health is restored.

1 Mewtwo Can Fuse People And Pokémon Together

Mewtwo wields powerful psychic energy and is capable of creating powerful shields and blasting away enemies. Pokémon: Detective Pikachu adds a new ability to Mewtwo’s kit: the ability to fuse people with their Pokémon. He fused Harry Goodman with his Pikachu to save his life. This resulted in Harry being in control of Pikachu’s body, although he was not able to remember anything. It’s an odd power, but one that the villain exploits in a very creative way.
