I haven't heard this song for at least 6 years. I honestly thought that I'd forgotten it. Would appear that I was wrong, note 1 set off a HUGE nostalgia wave. P.S.: Pokemon 2000 was, is, and always will be, the best Pokemon movie EVER!

Today´s lesson: if it´s a song, it has lyrics. So, this is not a song :)

This was back when Pokemon still had its dark side.. Like death and destruction and peoples dads dieing and psychic type Pokemon creating an artificial entei that called itself daddy

@WarfareTartaros

Ahhh, memories (flicking away a tear).

@Gabo2oo

Brandon Miller These kind of stuff still happen in Pokémon, though (in fact death and destruction was the theme of the last movie).

@callumbaurley716

9y↑4

Gabo2oo That is true what you say but this is true movie magic when Pokemon actually had a story and there was actual meaning in them such as. in 2000 "One person can make all the difference". The first had "We should see people not as different as something to control or destroy but to look upon our blue marble we call home and to realise that we all live in the same place, same air same earth. to not look at what is different to ignore the differences and to look at the similarities".
The Third movies lesson is "Sometimes running away from the world to our own little world to cower away from people, to not ask for help, to live in a fantasy can end up becoming our own prison and the truth is so much harder to accept when you are forced to accept it" this can also be seen in the third movie with the flower castle of crystal that symbolises Molly's innocence and the sharp dangerous terrain that is formed on the outskirts of this place to ward off those who could help her in the end the flower of innocence dies as she is forced to accept the truth.

@Gabo2oo

Callum Baurley I know all of them. But Pokémon still has a story nowadays and the movies still have meanings.

The only reason people say the first ones were better is simply because nostalgia.

@callumbaurley716

I see, maybe I should watch the newer ones and make my own opinion.

This song is a reminder of why the original pokemon was simply the best. Today's series can't even hope to be as good, partially since the voice actors were switched. I wish they returned, all is lost without them!

This just brings back all my memories as a child. Pokemon was something I was born into, and had my full focus! I still love it today :) this song was my favorite song when it was out.. And it still is, and it will always be, because it reminds me of my childhood :')

@DrOctogonapuz

Oh my god... the memories this song brings back... It's been so long since I heard it, and I wasn't even one of the hardcore Pokémon fans, but it still touches me to hear it just as much as it did the first time I watched the film at my neighbors house. This song may even be one of the biggest reasons why I am studying to become a composer!

@Cool1097

@Sueiza

Even as a kid, the first time I watched this movie I was in absolute awe of this track both by how beautiful it was and by the fact that it was in a Pokemon movie, of all things. My childish love of Pokemon eventually faded to fond nostalgia but my love for this song has probably grown the older I've gotten. It really is a work of art.

@Aurora-ci7zu

it's been about 11 years since I last saw the movie or heard this song...and the music still moves me now like it did then. HOLY crap nostalgia XD honestly, I do think this was the best one by far. I recently caught up with several other recent pokemon movies, and none of them really got me going like this one did. this one just seems so much more...epic.

Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice, or Lightning Lest these Titans wreak destruction Upon the world in which they clash Though the Water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting Alone its song will fail Thus the earth shall turn to Ash O Chosen One Into thine hands bring together all three Their treasures combined tame the Beast of The Sea From the trio of islands, ancient spheres shall you take For between life and death, all the difference you'll make
