I hope the movies are not the same as the cartoons of the 90s. I once watched a couple of episodes where Ash sends Pikachu to fight in the arena and then cries when Pikachu gets hit hard. I just wanted to ask, “buddy, you literally sent Pokemon into the damn arena where he was supposed to FIGHT, what were you hoping for?” But in general, I understand you now. In fact, the plot is not important at all. People just collect Pokemon like Magic the gathering cards.
AFAIK the first movie’s plot is exactly that; the cast of the anime realising how cruel Pokémon fights are, but they conveniently forget about it at the end.
