We have the same colorful characters from the previous film: Ash, Brock, May, and Max, and this time we meet a new friend that’s actually an old friend: Sammy. And the main legendary of this film is Celebi, the voice of the forest; with a special cameo from Suicune (one of my favorite pokemon <3).
The antagonists here are the pokemon hunters that trap and capture pokemon for profit, not caring if the pokemon suffer in the process or not.
However, Celebi can time travel, so it escapes the pokemon hunter… for now.
Another fun, fascinating trip through the world of Pokemon with Ash and his friends, meeting new pokemon and saving the day yet again. These movies have all the same plot mechanics, but it still somehow works out entertaining nonetheless.
