>Mr. Shudou had already used the themes of “self existence”(自己存在) and “co-existence”(共存) for the first two movies and so, as he sat in his hospital bed staring up at the ceiling, he decided he wanted to make a film that asked “What is this world that I’m in?” (自分のいる世界とはなんなのか). The pokemon world is where real-world animals don’t exist (the few appearances of real world animals in earlier episodes, he says, is due to the animation staff not paying enough attention) so he wanted to have the third movie tackle this question. What happened to all the real world animals? Why are there real trees and flowers but not real animals? What is the difference between plant Pokemon and regular plants?

>self existence
>co-existence
>What is world that I'm in?
What's the themes or the other movies?

Those are the only three he wrote.
...Did it even tackle that question? I only watched the third movie once but I don't remember anything about that.

Pretty sure it had literally nothing to do with it. I've watched it a lot. Although I'm also really bad with symbolism, so I could be wrong.

What OP is quoting is about Shudo's idea for a movie involving a real-life dinosaur appearing and revealing the secrets of how real animals used to exist in the Pokemon world but where suddenly replaced by Pokemon.
This idea was immediately vetoed, and the actual third movie that was made has nothing to do with it.

Damn, that sounds way better than that Entei shit.
>>24947973
I can only imagina GameFreak sending a drone to Shudo's house for that terrible idea.
Not that the Entei plot was any better but at least it wouldn't get in the way of the game's canon.

Opinion discarded.

I guess if I had to BS it on a paper:
>First movie tackles self existence with Mewtwo being created from Mew.
If I'm not mistaken, at the time there was a big controversy over Dolly the cloned sheep and if we should clone animals or even humans, so the movie actually was culturally relevant in a way. What is one person's worth to another basically?
>Second movie tackles co-existence with Lugia/the birds/humans
The bird trio were fucking shit up and possibly endangering lots of lives, and the movie relates how two (or rather more I guess) groups of people and things can live together.
>What is the world that i'm in?
Although this wasn't directly used in the movie, i think it still was kind of relevant. Entei had a bunch of identity problems because he was like a projection of Molly

There's a link for a full article?

Molly also unknowingly used superpowered beings like the Unown to create her own little perfect fantasy world to live in because her reality was unbearable.
