Its my favorite Movie from them all
I love Altomare. It reminds me my favorite city- Venice.
Music is very pretty also. I like "Search For The Girl" and "Stop The Water"
the most. Also, "Secret Garden" is my favorite song.
Story is very nice also.
What a pity, in english version, Annie and Oakley are TR Members. Because in
original version they are just popular thiefs.

I didn't like this movie as much as the others (probably because it didn't seem like there was any evil force and the fact that alot of it was about the love between a human and a pokemon 0_o). I liked the music, the setting (based on Venice) was good, and I like the plot, but it just didn't have the one factor that made the other pokemon movies good, a Pokemon feel. This movie felt like it was a non-Pokemon related kid's Action/Romance with some pokemon put in randomly. This movie was so-so.

I give Pokemon Heroes a 7.9.... out of 10.

I was appalled when I found out just how much the backstory had been changed for the dub. Here's my translation of the first scene of the Japanese movie, which was cut entirely in the dub.

Long, long ago, on an island called Alto Mare, there lived an old man and an old woman. One day, the couple found two small children lying injured on the beach. Under the couple's gentle care, the children quickly became well. But then, without warning, the island was attacked by monsters. Within moments, the island fell to the monsters. And then...
Before the astonished eyes of the old man and lady, the children transformed. They were the Eon Pokémon, Latios and Latias. The two called their family from the sky. They came, and brought with them a stone with the power to drive away the monsters. This was the gem known as the "Soul Dew". Peace returned to the island. In the years that followed, the Latios and Latias family often visited the island where the Soul Dew rested. And since that time, the island has never again been attacked.

The Monsters? o.O

*faints*

I belive, it was a huge thunderstorm or something, but not monsters.

This is my second favourite movie. I really liked the water city setting of Altomare. I enjoyed the Pokemon water race at the beginning of the movie. I also liked the Master Quest song that was playing.

The music is really good especially when Ash is chasing Latias.

I liked the ending when Bianca/Latias kissed Ash. And finally an ending without Team Rocket in it.

I give this movie 9 out of 10.

Don't believe me? Translate it yourself. This transcription has been confirmed as accurate by my Japanese professor, a native speaker.

昔昔、アルトマーレと言う島に、おじいさんとおばあさんがいました。ある日、二人は海岸で小さな兄妹が怪我 をしているのを見つけました。おじいさんとおばあさんの手厚い看護で、二人は見る見る良くなってきました。 しかし突然、邪悪な怪物が島に攻めてきたのです。島は忽ち怪物に呑み込まれました。と、その時…おじいさん とおばあさんの目の前で二人の姿が変わっていきました。二人はむげんポケモン・ラティオスとラティアスだっ たのです。二匹は空から仲間を呼び寄せました。彼等は、邪悪な闇を追い払う力を持ってきてくれました。それ は心のしずくと言う宝石だったのです。島には平和が戻りました。それからと言うもの、心のしずくのあるこの 島にラティオスとラティアスたちはしばしば立ち寄るようになりました。この島が邪悪な怪物に襲われることは 、その後、二度とありませんでした。

The ending of this movie made me cry... poor Latias , but I loved it when she went to Ash for comfort.

I'm not sure who kissed Ash at the end but I love Brock's reaction!

[MayDrewfan]

i loved the movy i sor it todday may shoefans coming over to wach it tomarow

[Silver Ryu]

This one is my favorite! It's so cool, and I LOVE Latias and Latios. They're my favorite legendaries, and I loved seeing them in a movie!
Poor Latias at the end...... ;_;

Gotta love this one!

[MayShuufan]

Pokemon Hero's was okay but not one of my fave movies Latias was cute. This movies is not one of my faves but I could sit through it again.
7/10

[Gigi]

Best. Movie. Ever.
Really. I wouldn't normally slap a 10/10 rating on any of these movies, but this one was particularily beautiful. Altomare's design was just gorgeous and the music was wonderful; My favorite soundtrack too. :3 The three versions of Kanon's theme were my favorites. The character designs and development were equally nice. On top of all that, Hitoribocchi Ja Nai was a nice ending for the movie. :3 (Can anyone tell me what the dub's was like?)

As for the story, it was nice and unique. The ending made me cry, but was then finished off with that particularily adorable scene with Satoshi and Kanon...or Ratiasu? :3

[AscendingLatios]

(Can anyone tell me what the dub's was like?)

The music used over the end credits in the dub is a compendium of songs, mostly from the 2BA Master album. While I generally prefer they keep the original music in foreign films, the music they chose actually works well over the credits. The best song is the end credit opener, "One World" (which may have been written for this purpose?), played over the moments Ash & Co is boating away from Altomare and sees the new recruits flying toward the island.

I bought the soundtrack several weeks ago (yes, I think this film definitely has the best soundtrack also ), and the original end credit music has been growing on me now, also.

Naturally, this film is my fave finally knocking the first film from from my #1 spot after so many years. Much more to say when I have the time to gather my thoughts....

[zonic the hedgehog]

I particularly don't like this movie as much as the Jirachi movie, but it has awesome music in the original. The dub really isn't too well though.
Here's Why: They messed up the color
The music should've been kept from the original
They totally messed up the story! They didn't include the beginning part, they actually said Annie and Oakly were working for TR when they have NOTHING to do with them. The other thing i don't like about this movie is the fact that Misty and Brock are only featured for a few minutes in the movie >.<....
Although there are a few reasons why i do like this movie: Latias is really cute, and i think it's cool that it can transform into people. The italian music really sounds cool.
I loved the fact that Latias really cared about Ash and gave him a tiny kiss at the end, unless that was Bianca, but i'm pretty sure it was Latias (:

[Gilbertman]

well this movie will always be my fav for the main reason that it was the movie that made me fall in love with pokemon the other things that made this movie awesome
1. setting- the city was beautifully done, a good change of pace from the what i think is the boring places the other movies took place in, not to mention i love Venice
2.good storyline- i really liked the storyline, they made it for a more general audience which made it more appealing although they could have went deeper with the storyline
3.music-what can i say about the music, i still listen to the sound track everyday, i love "search for the girl" and (this may sound wierd) every time i hear "stopping the water" i get goosebumps just thinking about the movie, and off course the awesome redistion(err not spelled right) of "I Believe"
4. My favorite pokemon-Latias of course is SO cute
5.Bianca-ummm no comment (i love her)

but yeah i love it so much

i luved this movie!! i have on dvd i give it two thumbs up!! i luv latios!!

[Hales]

I loved how Latias turned to Ash for help when her brother was captured because she knew she could trust him, plus at the end she again turned to Ash for comfort when she lost her brother...

But what really broke my heart was when Latias said goodbye to Latios...

Why does Latias have to looks so cute?

[Horn Drill]

Bwah ho ho ho! Li'l Brudder! (I mean, Latios.) I hate this movie! I mean, it's a great movie and all, but it's too sad! I was cryin' all over the place after it was over. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. Y'know what I mean?

[Gilbertman]

yes it was quite a sad movie

looks at picture of one legged dog, cries "ill be alright" says little Brudder "I can make it on my own"

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Best. Movie. yet!!!!!! Latios was so cute(yes LatiOs), and Latias came close. I felt so sorry for poor, poor Latios.............And Latias too, but Latios.........I honestly cried watching this movie. It was so darn sad..........I loved it though.

Overall rating:
10 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!!
So emotional, yet a Poke'mon story at the same time. Priceless....

[Heracross]

I love this movie. It's my favorite out of all the Pokémon movies and one of my favorites of any movie. It's such a shame stupid 4Kids had to cut the introduction. Why 4Kids? Why!? Anyway, there are a number of reasons why I liked this one so much. I loved the setting, it was so exotic and romantic and I just loved the feel it gave the movie. Music! ^_^ I love all the music from the show and the movies, but this has by far the best soundtrack of any of them. I loved the music when Ash was chasing Latias, it was so awesome I could listen to it forever, and "The Secret Garden" is great too. And I agree that in this case, the music they used in the dub for the ending worked very well, they picked good songs for it. The plot was also very good, I liked all the characters and how they fell into the story. And I love Bianca, she is so cute it kills me. *obsesses* -Ahem, anyway, I just can't express how much I love this movie, it is too great for words.

20/10 =P

EDIT:

I bought the soundtrack several weeks ago

Where did you find that? I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find the soundtrack. I was beginning to think they didn't have one.-_-

[Kioko-san]

I loved Pokemon Heroes! My favorite so far, though I haven't seen Jirachi Wishmaker yet. It was great, for some reason it just seemed to seperate it's self from the other movies. The storyline was intersting as were the two Team Rocket agents..can't remember their names though...overall, I liked it a lot. The setting was beautiful, too! I wish I could live in a town like that. Overall, I give the movie a 8/10.

[Houndoom]

This is my favourite Pokemon movie yet. It is just fantastic in every way. The location, scenery, storyline, music and the animation. Everything. And like what other people have said, it dosen't have Team Rocket in the ending. The music "You and Me and Pokemon" in the ending was just great. I was touched so much by this movie. 10/10. Great job.

[AscendingLatios]

Where did you find that? I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find the soundtrack. I was beginning to think they didn't have one.-_-

I bought it from Toysnjoys, specifically http://www.toysnjoys.com/pokemusic.html

It's the last entry on the page, "2002 Pokémon Music Collection"

Also, I just discovered the music is also available for download from www.pokemon-music.net, but they don't have it arranged quite the way it is on the CD. (It seems to be arranged for the dub, not the original movie.)

Oops, and Houndoom got it right - the title of the dub song I like that plays over the end credits is "You & Me & Pokemon", not "One World".

[Heracross]

Cool thanks. I just love the music from this movie. ^_^
