>>53907807Because the Mario movie stayed mostly faithful to the games it borrowed and even meshed multiable source materials together from other games nicely. Nobody cares about detective pikachu and the shovelware game source material it originated from along with the stupid plot it forced upon the movie.
Fans want the mainline pokemon world to explore and flashy battles that we experienced as we play. None of that gay bullshit such as those dumbass cage matches and what ifs "haha pokemon but in real world settings". Because gotta be realistic now, right guys? The only benefit we got out that movie was seeing some decent pokemon designs that got wasted on a bland movie.
