Finally (!) I understand what a pokemon is. lol! When my friends had kids (usually one each) the children would be crazy about pokemon coins. I used to wonder what it was about with lazy curiosity.
If I'm rating this movie at all, it's because it brought light where there was darkness in my mind.:)
Pokemon are these cute animals who have special powers and their owners are kids. The kids send them out to fight and the pokemon [unquestioningly] do their bidding (... see the benefit to egocentric childishness?:) Anyway, pokemon is just another word for animal-with-powers.
This movie was interesting on many levels because:
1. it had the architecture of Antonio Gaudi, the barcelona maverick - it's wonderful to see tasteful imaginative use of my hero's bizarre work, esp Sagrada Familia and his park;
2. the pokemon live in the wild, even though a few are tamed by these 'pokemon trainers' - an analogy to pet-keeping children's aspirations. Fortunately, these are clearly magical creatures, I'm relieved they've drawn them colourfully and unrealistically so that kids won't be tempted to demand impossible things from their unfortunate dogs, birds or cats.

Interesting.. Do u lend DVD's in exchange for coffee?
lol, I'd have said yes if I wasn't downloading from questionable sources.:)
You'd save the coffee by downloading a program like emule, Dee.
