Pokémon: The First Movie Ellen A. Kim Am I gonna get this movie if I don't know anything about Pokémon? "Probably not," answers my 8-year-old friend, Jeffrey. So, he proceeds to give me a rundown on the species: There are Electric Pokémon, Land Pokémon, Water Pokémon or Bug Pokémon. They compete against one another using various attacks. If they lose, they faint. There are 151 in all. "Psychic Pokémon are good to have," Jeffrey says. Armed with this knowledge, we settled in to watch "Pokémon: The First Movie," a highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of the phenomenally successful Nintendo game, television show and card series. First released in Japan last year, Warner Bros. bought the rights to the film and translated it into English for its U.S. debut.
