As the cartoon’s 20th feature film, Pokémon: I Choose You! takes some ... interesting creative liberties in retelling the original anime’s storyline. These include changes good and bad, and one of the good ones is very, very, very good.

(Consider this the obligatory spoiler warning for anyone who hasn’t seen the movie, although since the storyline is adapted from a 20-year-old anime ... what constitutes a spoiler is on you.)
