"Pokemon 4Ever" came around when the Pokemon phenomenon of the 90's was calming. It was the first to be released in a limited theatrical capacity. Generation two was in full swing so it came time to introduce the world to Celebi, a Pokemon that was unannounced at that point in time. Celebi remains to be one of the rarest Pokemon to date being available only twice since it was first announced making it rarer than Mew.
"Pokemon 4Ever" is a much more subtle Pokemon movie as it stars a higher-up in Team Rocket trying to catch and control Celebi so he can take over Team Rocket. The deeper storyline was Professor Oak's back story. Although unknown until the end of the movie; Professor Oak, known as Sammy, traveled through time with Celebi and befriended Ash while trying to save Celebi with the help of Suicune.
As I said earlier, this film is subtle and therefore falls somewhere in the middle for me. I'd say it was alright when compared to the other Pokemon films. There have been better, there have also been worse.
Competitive Moment
Celebi is exceedingly rare. Since the current games are only compatible with games in generations three, four and five Celebi has only been available in early 2011. It was released once before when gold, silver and crystal were out, but that Celebi cannot be forwarded to the games of today.
Suicune was the mascot of Pokemon Crystal, the third generation two game. He had a more important role in the story of the game and that story carried over to the remakes Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
