>>27837305Jesus I get triggered just looking at the damn poster.
This movie was opportunity that was missed that it's like throwing a dart and it landed on the bartender.
For some reason, Diancie is a princess.
Ok.
Rules over Carbink and is in charge of creating a Heart Diamond.
Ok.
She cannot make one so she is tasked to go find Xerneas to be granted its Fairy Aura in order to create one, and has to meet up with Ash and friends cause they have to be in the story one way or another, as with all movies.
I am ok with this set up so far, it's gonna be a magical adventure going through mystical caverns and forests unveiling the secrets of Diancie, her kingdoms or those who ruled before her, what does her kind contribute to the world and so on right?
Wrong.
It's a road trip, but it's a damn ass boring one. It's pretty much a longer episode of the anime. Diancie and the gang go around some cities and junk cause why not but this is where it goes downhill.
For one, they've established that Diancie has been regarded as a mythical pokemon that has immense power through its diamonds and other lore like that through his book a character pulls up, so again, it's established that this pokemon has been regarded throughout history.
What happens? No one blinks a freakin eye at this thing. I'm not kidding, it obviously looks a lot different than other pokemon in these cities but no one recognizes it, or even asks what is it.
???
The movie doesn't even try to get out of it, like they could've said that Diancie has been hidden away in its caves for centuries and that very few people like historians, and all the related even know about it, but they don't.
Then we reach the villains. I think these villains are pretty cool, they all have a gimmick that they follow with their starter like a ninja with Greninja, a Knight like gimmick with Chesnaught and a Witch for Delphox. These people are severely underplayed. Going to continue soon
