Also I am a strong proponent of having their Pokemon Cinematic Universe start off with a small isolated story like this to see if it works and I stand by that BUT, they absolutely need to have more actual game elements in the next movie. I'm not saying directly adapt Red and Blue (I actually think this isn't a great idea at all) but I am saying there was like nothing that connected me from the movie to the games other than "Pokemon are here". Now that's good for a first showing but going forward, this needs to be developed.
I also really hope they have a plan. Every single cinematic universe that isn't MCU or Monsterverse has fucked themselves up because they didn't have a plan. YOU NEED TO MAKE A PLAN. PLEASE MAKE A PLAN
