>based in a wasteland made of blue and purple crystal
>Unown play an important part of the story
>Japanese title is "Emperor of the Crystal Tower: Entei"
>a lot of focus on water type Pokemon
Why the fuck didn't they use Suicune instead?
Because Entei is much better.
i'm pretty sure entei was chosen entirely because it was one of the few gen2 pokemon that had a finished design.

would have stumped Charizard. Suspension of disbelief.
>>25724426
What are you talking about? It's a Johto movie; there are several Johto mons in it.
>>25724404
who cares it was a shit movie
>>25724428
Nah, this is the anime we're talking about. Charizard would have managed either way.
>>25724404
Because Ash would be fuckin dead then.

>literally the only pokemon movie that can be called a decent movie on its own
>shit
>>25724443
To be honest its one of the only few good ones. Your shit taste is alarming.
>>25724459
But it's easily the worst.

http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/05_shudo_bn.shtml

of all the movies, you hand pick one of the best and say it's ''easily the worst''
>>25724443
>one of the few movies that wasn't, "Hey let's think of some asspull bullshit backstory that somehow links these legendary Pokemon that have no correlation in the games together and maybe have them battle each other a guy with a giant airship."
>shit movie
>>25724443
You must be confusing Movie 3 with another, this is the one legitimately decent Pokemon movie.
>>25724511
incase you can't read the moonrunes the weird story of the third movie's development is summarized here
http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/pm_lord_unknown_tower_entei/lord_unknown_tower_entei_mythical_third_movie.html
originally there was going to be a fucking t-rex. entei and unown were among 4 pokemon designs sent to the studio to be used. they star in the movie simply because they were some of the first designs for gen2 that were finished and the studio wanted to make the movie as fast as possible.
>>25724484
>>25724404
Pokemon 3 is absolute kino
>>25724548
>Anon actually answers OPs stupid question.
Didn't see that coming.
>>25724404
Entei is more masculine and fatherly.
>>25724404
Entei is a representation of Molly's dad, would you want your dad to be a faggot Suicune?
>>25724548
That actually sounds like a pretty deep story.
>>25724426
What?
Most Gen 2 designs were from 1996. This film came out MIDWAY through Gen 2. Your argument would hold water for the Lugia film, but not here
>>25724548
>originally there was going to be a fucking t-rex
The plot for this movie would've been stupidly retarded given that prehistoric pokemon existed during gen 1. But damn, seeing a dinosaur wrecking Giovanni's shit could've been amazing.
