    I did like that it was explicitly in a world that the first movie happened in. The Mewtwo in Detective Pikachu is the same one that tried to end the world in Kanto in Pokemon: The First Movie.

    When the movie first said that Mewtwo was first discovered twenty years ago in Kanto, I thought to myself, "Huh. So this is set in the future." Then I remembered: 1999 + 20 = 2019.

    BTW, I always liked how the first movie was called that. They knew right away they were making more of these and never pretended otherwise.

    I really enjoyed it, and I say that as someone with no investment in Pokemon whatsoever - never played the games, collected the cards, or watched the anime or films; the trailer just looked good.

    That said, I'm struggling to remember much in the way of detail about it. Couldn't really give you any specific lines or moments that stuck with me, I just know I laughed quite a bit, there were a few genuinely cool scenes, and overall, I enjoyed it.

    Actually loved it when I viewed it in the cinema. Would've preferred one done in one of the game regions although, as has been said, the expectations might've impacted the experience. Hoping for more personally.
