Before we take a trip into the world of cuddly small combat monsters ofDetective Pikachu , it ’s time to take a whole step back into the yesteryear with the Honest Trailer forPokémon : The First Movie : Mewtwo Strikes Back . The latest instalment of Screen Junkies ' ongoing series takes a look back at the 1998 animated film that made us all cry over a little icteric electric computer mouse and his admirer - slash - captor .
As the rubric suggests , Pokémon : The First Movie : Mewtwo Strikes Backfeatures the mutant Pokémon Mewtwo , a powerful clone of the endearing Pokémon Mew . Like many a awful scientific creation before him , Mewtwo imprecate revenge on his human creators - retaliation that starts with organizing a massive Pokémon tournament . This draw the attention of classic trio Ash , Brock , and Misty , but they realise too late that the tournament is in reality just a agency to gather Pokémon in one place so they can be clone .

All of this leads up to a sequence that ’s far more heartrending than any Pokémon picture with two colons in its title has any rightfield to be . Pokémon are forced to battle their clones in a big arena , but Pikachu refuses , or else standing nobly still as his clone repeatedly slap him in the expression . Meanwhile , Mew and Mewtwo have a battle that results in Ash getting caught in the crossfire and turn to stone . luckily , he gets healed by the king of all the Pokémon ’s tears ( please do n’t take how this wreak ) .
The conclusion ofPokémon : The First Movieis that it ’s wrong to make Pokémon fight one another - which is rather awkward for a dealership based totally aroundPokémon fighting one another . Fortunately , Mewtwo ’s separate natural endowment to Ash and his friends is to completely wipe their memories of the whole affair , so that they can cheerfully go back to trying to become the public ’s great Pokémon master by forcing the animals in their care to engage in violent battles .
strangely enough , it seems as though Detective Pikachu may be convey quite a few cue fromPokémon : The First Movie . It also features a friendly relationship between a son and a Pikachu , Mewtwo appears in it as an opponent , and there ’s even remembering loss involved . At least if Justice Smith ’s character end up being turned to stone by a dual blast of psychical magnate , we ’ll know he ’ll be okay as long as there are enough Pokémon to mourn him .
