Every single Pokemon Movie since has the same formula

- Literal who villain appears and wants to capture -MYTHICAL POKEMON-

- Ash somehow ends up on the same place

- Ash and -MYTHICAL POKEMON- team up to save the day

- Showcase of fan-favorite Pokemon

Not creative at all

With the dawn of the internet, the common opinion is that Ash is boring and a bad trainer and that Red is the best of all time and infallible. It's why Origins was so popular in the States and that the Manga is thrown around as being great (even if these people don't read it but it has Red so it makes them happy.)

Looks like they just bob up and down a bit in the same rough area.

Also, despite that $40 for Johto, M5 is the third lowest grossing movie ever.

This is primarily an American opinion, and the movies aren't aimed at that audience.
Japan likes Ash.

It's just weird that it didn't happen sooner. Everyone seems to hate the BW movies but they still did a lot better than the XY movies.

The OP uses dollars, so I was assuming that he was talking about the American interest. I don't know jack shit about how the movies did in Japan so I can't really talk.

The movies didn't gross anything in America because they were never in theaters. TPCi has treated them as "extra long episodes of the TV series" for the longest time.

So no, these are either Japanese numbers or total worldwide numbers.

I didn't even realize that the movies aired in theaters in other countries. In my defense, this could also be a major opinion in European countries as well to some extent. American opinions spreading around on the internet would probably spread easily to any other English speaking countries so that might be a factor.

Well, the Diancie's movie was boring like... I don't know, but it was very boring and the Hoopa's one was a terrible and predictable attempt of fanservice. I kinda understand why they were so unpopular in Japan.

They get theatrical releases in Korea still, with proper marketing campaigns, celebrity guest voices, popular pop singers singing new theme songs and all that stuff you'd expect.

TPCi has damaged the anime brand so hard in the west there's no way they could do something like that there now.

I think they have only aired in japanese theaters since the 6 movie or so. Maybe in Taiwan, China, Korea or other asian countries as well, I don't know.

I remember one of the Victini movies airing in american theaters for a while, but that was a special case.

The movies have been bad from the start.
They follow a formula, and status quo never changes so its basically just a normal episode that is longer. Animation is better than a typical episode, but still nothing of note.

If Korea has been doing that shit ever since the end of Kanto, then yeah, there's no way the Pokemon anime will ever be taken seriously here again unless it gets completely rebooted.

>Taiwan China and Korea

If those are the only countries that air the movies in theaters and that's what the OP refers to then I really don't know what to say.

The Kyurem movie didn't have that going on.

Hoopa's didn't either.

Gen 4 was much more popular than gen 3 in general, and one of the big draw of the movies is exclusive theatrical event Pokemon

Have you seen them? They're actually pretty good with the Darkrai one being my fav personally. I also like how 3 of the 4 ended up being a trilogy.

Gen 4 was less popular than Gen 1, Gen 2, or Gen 3 Internationally and had lower viewership- only in Japan was it received better.

Neither the gen 3 nor the gen 4 movies were in theaters internationally, so that's pretty irrelevant.

30 Million dollars is not the same area.
