I couldn't find anything bad about the episode, before I had to miss the 2nd half to go to dinner, but from what I saw it's really good. But when I read that the opening was cut, I felt a bit upset there. Maybe they'll have it in the DVD version?
Zorua is so adorable, yet so creepy with his giggles haha. Triforce Saturn even told me that he believe it was like Fawful, from the Mario & Luigi RPG series. I can totally see the resemblance haha.
I enjoyed getting to see all the Legendary Beasts, and as they appeared in their shiny colored. Hey! They look just like the ones I got in my Gen 4 games.
Oh wait... lol. Still, I can't wait to get Celebi later this month, and then obtain Zoroark and Zorua, when the BW games are released.
Carl was also a pretty good character. I liked his Woobat hat, which I finally figured out haha. Foreshadowing Gen 5!
I also don't get how Zoroark took pain from Shuppet's Shadow Ball. Since pure Dark types don't take damage from Ghost type moves, I just don't know.
It was also pretty funny of Zorua to take the form of Ash, Brock and Dawn during different parts of the movie. It's silly that Dawn wasn't amused, but I liked how Brock made up the fact Zorua was his twin brother (when Zorua took the form of him).
I can't believe that Kodai; such a jerk. However, his role was pretty clever, since he had the ability to see into the Future. Especially how his assistant is actually a agent to get his information, he just knew that she would betray him. It all really came together.
The ending of the movie was pretty sad though, when Zorua was crying for his mommy Zoroark to wake up. I felt a little bad. But I was happy to see Celebi fix everything and heal Zoroark. A happy mother and son reunion.
Celebi was even a wonderful Pokemon to have during the movie.
I also like how Ash foreshadows his venture to the next region (Unova), when he promises to visit him and Zoroark, as they were off on the cruise with Carl and Rowena (Kodai's former assistant) back to that region.
And I wish CN didn't have to make the ending credits so small, when the movie ends. I really want to see all thats happening in full view. Since I read that the Rivals, Gym Leaders and Elite Four members are implimented on there somewhere.
Plus, this is when the Baccer tournament is happening, yet it's disappointing to not see it during the movie.
Overall, this was a great movie for the DP saga, yet I'm sad to see this is the last bit of the main series run. Ah, it's been a great 4 years, while watching the DP series. Up to the first episode, the last episode, and the last movie now.
