First few Pokémon movies being amazing, eh? Since you brought that up, I feel this might be relevant...
I haven't seen all the movies, but nothing I've seen in the later movies ever came even remotely close to the ending scene from the Lugia movie. (The Oracíon scene in Darkrai at least came close-ish though.) M20 does interest me a lot more than any of the XY movies did though... Although at the moment I utterly refuse to watch it because I am not watching the dub. Seriously, the Japanese soundtrack to that movie is like 95% remixes of nostalgic pieces from the Kanto and Johto era of the show, but the dub cut all of it except for the very last track. Also they removed Oracíon from the end credits. Which is a travesty.

Lol unlike with most other anime, I originally watched Pokemon in the dub, so the dub was welcome.
However, yeah... Pokemon has had silly premises, but they make them work because they go for comedy or absurdity. In a movie trying to be epic, it needs to do more than that. Like, come on, the end of Pokemon 2000 really was amazing. That and movie 3 was also really good, if not sorta weird though. The last movie I liked was the mirage Pokemon one... sigh... Maybe they can surprise at some point and give us a Cipher movie? Why does Gamefreak seem to hate all of the stuff they've done with Coliseum and XD--those were some of the better plots outside of the mystery dungeon games IMO.

I mean, can anyone honestly say that not having this piece in the dub made the movie better? This is a really popular piece! It played in the climax of the very first episode! In the dub! For a movie that's clearly banking so heavily on nostalgia, the fact that they deliberately threw out the entire soundtrack when almost all of it consists of remixes of old stuff long-time viewers would actually have a lot of nostalgia for... I'd say the kindest way I can put it is that it's an absolutely terrible idea that really betrays how little the dub producers actually care.

Which could potentially mean it has less than a year to go... There are things indicating that the Switch game (which will almost certainly be Gen 8) will come out this year...
I mean, for one thing there's only one Mythical Pokémon left for GameFreak to promote in the next movie, and they've never patched in new Pokémon to an existing game before despite frequent complaints from fans that players of XY and now regular Sun & Moon got shafted, what with how they could technically link up with ORAS or USUM, but if the other person had certain Pokémon in their team they would not be able to battle them... Also there's just the pacing of the anime at the moment. We're just a little over one year into the series and Satoshi has already cleared two of the four Grand Trials, the Ultra Beast story that happened at the end of the game has already been adapted and Lilie's character-arc seems to have come full circle already. Admittedly that last point might not be as big a deal as she's just one of six main human characters in this show, and the others have had decidedly less development... Mao in particular has gotten basically nothing. Ever. But still, the story has moved unusually fast, and it's making me feel like OLM are rushing to get through all the stuff they want to do before the Switch game comes out.

It seems this is happening soon. Yeah, that "Gen 8 might be starting this year" thing isn't really looking any less likely at the moment... I mean I knew from upcoming episode titles that more Ultra Beasts were coming, but really? Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma? Already? Either this show is rushing to the finish line because it has to, or it's pointlessly burning through all its potential plot faster than necessary and will descend into filler hell at some point...

I'm convinced that whoever created this series is trying to make Ash look stupid but his ass better catch Passimian next week. It's getting ridiculous that he doesn't have any new pokemon. That or they better get him that poison dragon sooner or later. This shit is getting old with him having nothing Pokemon wise

But really kudos for the "hot blondie girl", she looks sooo much "no pokemon" and "teen" and hot for a pokemon serie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV0vI-wrXvY This is probably one of the better POKEMON english openings in a long time. It actually makes you want to watch the dub despite how butchered some of the names are.
