What Parents Need to Know

About Pokemon Heroes

Parents need to know that this movie is violent for a G, including peril (electric shock waves are directed at characters, including children) and the death of a character who essentially sacrifices himself to save the community. There is one sweet kiss on the cheek.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why Annie and Oakley did not seem to care about anyone but themselves. Families might want to look at photographs of Venice, which inspired the imaginary city of Altomare.

    • My highlights are:
    • Good role models

    Not this 'give it a horrible review because you've lost your inner child' thing again

    How are female characters being strong a bad message? You people are the sexist ones, not Pokemon. What character dies? Commercial? The only commercial in this movie is when you watch it on cable. Oh no, a kiss on the cheek, this is UNACCEPTABLE! Get the FCC on the phone at once! How is this too violent? Go Deigo Go! is more perilous than this, they put so many animals out in Life-Death situations it's not even fair. Latios and LatiaS (forgot the 's' on the end) do not sound like nails in a chalkboard! They sound cute. When will you people learn?

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 0.0

    Who needs to see this garbage?

    This stupid movie is just a repeat of all the other pokemon movies. All they want you to do is buy the cheap cards and stupid other materials they make...
