A few years ago I fan-edited the last act of the movie Pokemon 2000 (“Power of One”) into a TV-length episode. Now I have approached the edit again and am turning it back into a feature, making use of other episodes from the Pokemon series to give it a more conclusive feel.
What I did to make Pokemon 2000 more of a climax was take a fraction of the closing arc of the Silver Conference (the battle with Gary) and place it at the start of the movie, and with some editing, have Ash come across as the winner of the Johto tournament rather than just a qualifier for the finals. Then, after he and Gary make up and part ways, I used footage from exactly two seasons earlier (“A Tent Situation”)
I left the movie largely alone after that, up until the very end, where I use A.I to have Ash finally return Misty’s feelings, and from there use the unused Mewtwo Strikes Back trailer footage animation to indicate Misty has a daughter in the future with Ash with Westlife playing. To avoid a repeat of Westlife’s performance in the end credits, I used the last few minutes of the Mewtwo Strikes Back ending credits as a substitute.
Edit is currently going through test renders, but I’m pretty happy with it so far.
