The opening uber-kiddie cartoon was horribly painful, but in a sort of masochistic way it was fun. I imagine that a horrific torture might be watching the uber-kiddie cartoon over and over without stop.
The rest of the movie wasn't quite totally and completely horrid. It felt like someone had an OK plot, but was forced to graft it onto a crappy Pokemon format. Pokemon is just a slight step up from Teletubbies. I'm not anti-Anime, just opposed to crappy anime.
The movie works best in the parts where it feels least like an episode of Pokemon. This might have been a decent movie if the author could have sold the idea to someone other than Pokemon.
