Why This Film: Pokémon The First Movie (1999)

I've returned to the Why This Film podcast to discuss yet another Pokémon film, and this time, host Emily Slade and I went back to the very first instalment. We talk about Pokémon: The First Movie, and how 4Kids Entertainment altered it from an existential tale about a clones right to exist, to "Fighting = Bad".
