About Pokemon the Movie 16: Genesect and the Legend Awakened

Pokemon the Movie 16: Genesect and the Legend Awakened (Pokemon Movie 16: Shinsoku no Genosect - Mewtwo Kakusei) arrives as an action anime by OLM (2013), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: The homeland of the Genesect exists no more. After three hundred million years, the snowy mountains where the Paleozoic Pokemon once lived are no longer habitable — but not all of the race are actually extinct.

Next up: Several specimens are still alive and desperate to find a new place to call home. Led by a Shiny Genesect and accompanied by the Legendary Pokemon Mewtwo, the vagabond creatures arrive in New Tork Metropolis.Perceiving the metropolis skyline as similar to their initial habitat, the Genesect take over the city center. On top of that, the Genesect leader confronts Mewtwo in a cunning, fast-paced duel that is bound to destroy the entire city – and it’s up to Satoshi and his companions to save the city and reconcile the feuding Pokemon.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
