Don't blame hollywood. Blame gamefreak themselves.I am pretty much not into Hollywood or western media at all, so seeing it constantly try to adapt properties that don't fit into it is admittedly a pet peeve of me. Not everything needs to be a Hollywood movie. Things that aren't Hollywood can be good on their own. To me, this entire movie's existence is wholly unnecessary. The series is pretty antithetical to live action because it is about fantasy creatures that still need animating to exist.
Yes, I know, you may get new Pokémon fans out of it. Doesn't mean I have to approve of it.
Also, the Pokémon do not fit in with the humans at all. They still look too cartoony, but also lose a lot of their charisma from the increased focus on texture. Uncanny valley.
And the voice of Pikachu just feels completely unfitting. Not that Pikachu should sound more childish or anything, but more like that weird 3D model doesn't look like it should talk period. The expressions and mouth movements do not fit at all.
