Episode 114: Pokemon the Movie 2000: The Power of One

Welcome back to The Pokémon Snapshot for a supersized Episode 114! This week, we are tackling the massive theatrical release of Pokémon The Movie 2000: The Power of One (or as it’s much more awesomely known in Japan, Revelation Lugia). We break down Ash's wild Orange Islands adventure to save the world from bizarre weather, apocalyptic storms, and a very weird collector.

⚡ In This Episode:

The Collector: We discuss Lawrence III (or "L3") and his giant, Final Fantasy-style flying Colosseum ship. We break down his obsession with capturing Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno to awaken Lugia, and how his villainy stacks up against Mewtwo.
The Legend Festival: Ash gets roped into being the "Chosen One" by the anxious, rebellious Melody on Shamouti Island (which Josh lovingly renames "Shabooty Island"), leading to a globe-trotting mission to collect the elemental orbs.
Absolute Cinema: We break down the incredible animation, Lugia’s epic aquatic battles, and Team Rocket's noble (and hilarious) sacrifice to save the world using a discarded helicopter propeller and an inflatable raft.
Final Reviews: Josh and Jeff hand out their final scores for the film. We discuss the epic soundtrack, the forced cameos from Professor Oak and Delia Ketchum, and the blatant product placement of the promotional Ancient Mew trading card.

Who's That Pokémon: Zapdos! Jeff leads a deep dive into the Electric-type legendary bird, Zapdos! We discuss its origins as the mythical Thunderbird, the Spanish root of its name, and its flightless, dump-truck-destroying Galarian counterpart based on the Secretary Bird.
