Pokemon would have been 100x better
If Ash simply stayed dead at the end, after pikachu's desperate attempts to shock him back to life. And the series ended right there.
This movie, the beginning was rather terrible, the end was rather terrible, and a good part of the middle was pretty terrible.
However there was a small section lasting roughly 10~ minutes, that was GOLD. I think we all know the part i'm talking about.
(Watched it when i was 7 back in 1999, watched it again earlier today (am 18).
