Since revisting the original 151 worked so well for Pokemon Go, this actually makes sense when you think about it.
I really hope they give out Ancient Mew again, though.

Remakes of what the games or the movies?
Because neither makes sense to do.

I am seriously having trouble containing my excitement right now; always wanted to go see it on the big screen again. I wonder if they have any idea how many 20-somethings are going to be in line for this movie

4Kids was very inconsistent with story lines, so how should that be any different?

Oh, whatever, like I give a damn. Lol
I enjoyed this a lot when I was little and it will only serve as a nostalgia blast-to-the-past when I go see it again. If they changed the dub, that notion would be lost, hence completely making me disinterested in this.

Well, the whole point of the movie is that both Mewtwo and Mew are wrong, and how being cloned doesn't make Mewtwo or the other "twos" inherently more or less worthy of existing based on how they came into being. But the English dub goes for a generic "FIGHTING IS WRONG GUIZ, STOP FIGHTING, START LOVING" lesson that misses the subtleties of the work and becomes hypocritical because Pokémon is about fighting.
It's kind of an insult to the viewer, like kids can't grasp the right lesson, so here's this watered down one.

Perhaps, but it's not like Pokemon is this greatly written story to begin with. Hence why only nostalgia is making me bother with this.

I'm happy "Pokemon:The First Movie's" coming back to theaters. It's a pretty good movie with great voice talent. The younger generation should see this. Most of the "Pokemon" movies have very solid plots to them so this'll be a real treat.
