>>56184503I think of the first and fourth Dragon Ball movies or similar tie-in OVAs/movies from that era that would spend half or so of their runtime just establishing the core characters "again" before getting to the meat of the story. It makes some sense pre-DVD when those animations may be the only animated material from that IP that you could actually buy, but in 2017? Pokemon is a perpetual franchise and that material is available to go back to, I don't think it makes sense. Presuming the movie remained standalone you would get a short, unsatisfying little return that ends as soon as it really begins. (But then why make it a throwback to start with? Good question!)
>>56184727Probably kids who may not be familiar with or had yet seen the earlier anime material, which is probably why the question came up in the first place. Of course we then got Mewtwo 3D two years later retold as is but that in that case that was clearly the point.
>>56186748Have you been tweaking this design just for these threads? It is a cute idea for character thread(s) to have a specific reoccurring take.
