Overview: Pikachu and a bunch of Pokémon are set to hit the big screen in Detective Pikachu starring Ryan Reynolds, but it’s not the first time these pocket monsters hit the big screen. Back in the 90’s at the height of the Pokémon craze, Pokémon: The First Movie was released and introduced the world to the raw power of Mewtwo. Re-watching the film raises a lot of questions. Like why is it so short? What’s up with the “no fighting” lesson the character learn? Why does it get erased from their memory? Why does Mewtwo even want an army? Why are Brock and Misty there?
