NEW
CHARACTERS FROM THE POKŠMON PANTHEON
 “Pokémon
3 The Movie” introduces theater audiences to the Unown, 26 complex
and baffling entities that spin an alternate reality from the minds of
humans they encounter. The Unown are only beginning to be understood and
there is much about them that is still a mystery. Entei also makes its debut in this third theatrical installment of the Pokémon saga. A fearsome and energetic beast of volcanic origin, Entei is formidable in battle but its awesome power hides a kind heart.  Among
the other Gold and Silver Pokémon characters making their premiere
big screen appearances in “Spell of the Unown” are Totodile,
a small creature with a big bite; Cyndaquil, a shy little Pokémon
that can shoot flames when frightened; Aipom, that swings through the
trees with a powerful tail like a monkey, at the end of which is a helpful
fifth hand; and Chikorita, a docile leaf-type Pokémon that has
the ability to measure humidity and temperature. Joining in the fracas with Pikachu and the Pichu brothers in the short “Pikachu and Pichu” are the flying cottonweed Hoppip, the bad luck Murkow and the barking Houndour, among many others. The rascally Pichu, tiny mouse-like Pokémon, are also new to moviegoers. Like their big cousin Pikachu they can also store and control electricity but they haven’t quite learned the knack.  Ash,
Brock and Misty also acquire a human ally this time, teenage Pokémon
trainer Lisa, who quickly proves her value as a good friend when things
get tough. Of course our old favorites are on hand as well, including the irrepressible Pikachu, never far from Ash’s side, plus Meowth, Togepi, Bulbasaur and a colorful collection of Pokémon from countless previous adventures. Even the flame Pokémon Charizard, who had recently parted company with Ash and the gang to go live and train with its fellow Charizards, makes a welcome return just when it is needed most, as Ash struggles with Entei and the Unown. |
