It is a late reply to this thread, but TBH, this movie really grew onto me!
Although I do have some issues with the designs of the hyper-realistic pokemons, as I personally have an own artistic realm and norm when trying to convert cartoonish characters or drawings into photorealistic artwork, where I think this movie didn't do a great job in this area. But because my expectations on Hollywood live action movies were never too much on the character designs, hence it wasn't too much of a problem for me.
If I am watching a movie, the first thing I care about is the story plot and the filming techniques, where those two are most of the time a pass for Hollywood (as always). The humor is really hilarious!
I don't think this movie will be any disaster. If there is any negativity from anyone, then it will either because 1) one is expecting too much (I guess this is just the fate of any well-known brand), or 2) The inability of cartoon-reality artistic segregation, often true for many anime/cartoon diehard fans.
