Is a direct sequel to The Pokémon Movie (1998)?

I actually agree.

During the Torterra sequence, I found myself wanting it to be over soon. I actually enjoyed the first act quite a bit, but once the noire-ish part of the film was over I was kinda over it.

Although, did anyone else notice

The Speaker was the main villain?

The plot was so fucking lame. I'm a huge fan of the games and it was super cool seeing Pokemon in the 'real world', but I wish they'd put more time into making it a legitimate plot.

But I guess they've never really understood their main fanbase are the 20-30 year olds who grew up with the originals, so they're still catering to simple stories that kids can understand.

that segment where there's giant torterras felt really disjointed from the rest of the movie, it looked like shots from the newest godzilla trailer. The movie lost me there and didn't really get me back after
