Oh my I can't believe Pikachu's Ocean Adventure is Lost Media now!
I can't quite remember what was featured in it or where exactly I saw it as I was way too young, but I can recall this
- I saw it at an event in Italy
- Octillery would spout water on you and absolutely totally soak you, not even kidding, scared me as a kid x)
- Yanmega would bat his wings against the camera and you'd feel the breeze coming from him
- They attempted to mimic Pikachu's electricity by giving out small sporadic "wind hiccups" while he was doing the thing, but it just felt weird ahah
- The glasses used were renowned for sometimes not working?? I clearly remember switching glasses with my father (he followed me in on multiple occasions to see the short) and he would check which one of the two would not work, and give me the functioning ones. They'd also force you to trash the glasses on your way out. I don't remember if we managed to smuggle a pair out by mistake but if we did we'll make sure to contact you with a picture ahah
- The short included a "camera dive" into the ocean, where you could see the water pokémon in their "natural habitat". Can't remember how long it took up, but it was a sight to see in my opinion.
If I happen to remember Anything else I'll make sure to update this comment, but that's it for now

Oh man, you remembered far more than I did! I happened to see it in the US. I only saw it one time, and I was only 7 or 8 years old, so I guess it makes sense I wouldn't remember it that well. Everything you're describing sounds accurate though. I'll put down what I remember about it here:
My few main memories are of the "ride" portion of the short, with Pikachu & friends riding on Latias & Latios above the water and running into different Pokemon, then diving below and seeing all the Pokemon there. I believe it kept the pace pretty quick once the ride started, not dwelling on encounters with the wild Pokemon for too long. I especially remember Meowth's initial freakout of submerging, before saying he "forgot" it wouldn't be an issue on Latias & Latios. Meowth did a lot of commentary, which makes sense because he was the only speaking character in the entire short, so he had to basically say what every Pokemon was saying, and whatnot. Now that you mention the scene with Octillery, I remember the splashes of water being hilarious to my family. The sheer audacity to drench the audience for the sake of delivering the 4D experience was really funny back then, and it still is now.
After looking online for what's around of the short, I see the treasure in the short was called the Wailord's Tear, which is probably why I remember a Wailord in the short. I seem to recall one making an appearance near the end...maybe guarding a chest on the seabed? Maybe unrelated to the treasure though, I can't remember for sure. I also recall some super cheesy song at the end...partially sung by Meowth, I'm pretty sure? Could be a dub thing. Actually, I would be very surprised if it wasn't.
My parents took me there, and when heading there, I had NO idea about it. They kept it well under wraps, and lead me on into thinking we were just going to some furniture store (since I'm pretty sure the theater was part of a larger building), and I only learned there was a theater downstairs playing the short when I went inside and saw posters for it on the wall. Funny how I remember that more than the film! Guess it was one of those things that meant a lot to me as a kid.@skye.palace8 месяцев назад +3
@@Acheo_ I can't believe I forgot about the main point of the short & Meowth!! x)
I was most surprised about reading that you saw it in a theater, no wonder they were better stocked with water! The amusem*nt park I saw it at was simply having a pokémon event and as such didn't reeeally have anything of the sort, the movie was watchable from a small pokémon-themed makeshift tent (a big one, but still a tent). I can distinctly remember the water was more like a drizzle, it doesn't help that the amusem*nt park wasn't a water based one either ahah
Absolutely no memory of what wailord's treasure was though, huh... Maybe we'll never know@aireuh517 месяцев назад
Wasn’t it a short at the start on the Mewtwo VHS?
