** [[spoiler:''Anime/PokemonGenesectAndTheLegendAwakened'']]: A movie that will make fans of the series re-evaluate what they consider brilliant storytelling as it forges a new standard. Beginning with ancient creatures revived and enhanced with human technology escaping their creators, what follows is the group's quest to find a home in the world which has long since forgotten them, even if they must sink to violent and depraved ends to steal one for themselves.

Along the way, they come into conflict with a creature [[CloningBlues created by man as a unique and enhanced clone of another creature]], whom is looking for a place in a world it feels it doesn't belong in.
