That was the original answer. After 20 years, one would expect some added layers.

It was paid by the writers to feign interest, lol.

What a satisfying answer.

If you're expecting an amazing answer to that question... You're naive.

It's nice that you've already made up your mind about the movie having such a stellar and intriguing story. I realize that I am not giving the movie much of a chance, but I don't see how your optimism is justified. Saying that the movie had to be what it is for the sake of a good story... is...

This movie won't fix the issue of pity badges... because it won't even focus on gyms. At most we'll see one battle, and it won't be as epic as Charizard vs. Magmar in all likelihood. Enjoy seeing Ash battle the Paul clone instead. An old man who knows a thing or two about a legendary? Hi there...

Not as much as they'd like, and that makes me happy given the circumstances.

Lol, I don't remember Pikachu battling Tangela in the original series. That was Bulbasaur, which may not even be part of the movie. They're sure taking ages to showcase Ash's full team, if he has one. I really can't understand how you consider this movie nostalgic at all. And nothing implies...

I knew that Ash was different from the get-go, but I did not imagine the extent of the changes. I had hoped that the highlights of the original series would at least be alluded to in the movie, and that the changes would be for the better. And so what if he's actively looking for Ho-Oh? Does he...

I don't want to see the story of a new Ash, Pikachu and Ho-Oh. I don't know who they are, to say nothing of those weird and ugly characters around them. If I wanted a new cast for the 20th anniversary, I wouldn't want Ash involved even by name. And you do realize that Movie 20 is eerily similar...

The Pokemon movies are released 5 months ahead of the Yokai Watch ones, so I don't see why kids wouldn't want to watch both... If they were good. And the "Pokemon movies can't have proper storylines, nor should they!" line of thought amuses me. The first three movies certainly came close...

All I've been saying (if you actually read my posts rather than rushing to counter them without any thought) is that something different should be done, and a more mature storyline is obviously not the problem given Your Name's recent massive success. A good storyline is not a matter of money...

I have no words for you anymore. No one is claiming that Digimon is more popular than Pokemon... It never was, which has more to do with the monsters than anything else. It doesn't help that the Digimon games are all over the place. Hell, I'd understand it if this movie were like the Yokai...

I don't see how anyone can seriously argue that nothing needs to change after the sharp decline in the movies' box office numbers. Appeal for adults or otherwise, something needs to be different. And I don't see how this movie is the answer, but I guess we'll see.

It's better than XY when you weigh in all the factors, but that isn't saying much.

Yep. The Pokemon anime is eternally doomed to be subpar, and that's saying something when Digimon isn't exactly art.

There is already a thread about that topic. To keep it brief: Nothing in the promotion of the movie implies that it is "standalone". They refer to it as Ash's origin story, but most otakus on the Internet can't handle that. Art style means diddly squat. They have a higher budget for the movie...

They don't exist anymore. It's a new continuity following the movie. Cue the denial posts.

Digimon has done two proper sequels, so...

Except having him age for a movie wouldn't affect the show... at all. It's called a flashforward... a common narrative device if ever there was one.
