About This Movie

Pokémon Chronicles: The Legend of Thunder! is an interesting entry in the Pokémon franchise. It captures that adventure vibe perfectly, with Kenta and Marina's friendship adding a nice touch of nostalgia. The pacing might feel a bit off at times, but the stormy backdrop adds a nice layer of tension. The introduction of Bashou and Buson adds some drama, and their use of the Crystal System is a neat twist that introduces a bit of danger. The animation carries the charm you'd expect, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs. There’s a certain warmth in the way the characters interact, and it highlights themes of friendship and growth, which are central to the Pokémon narrative.
