My opinion: I really enjoy this movie. It has a great plot like a lot of the Pokémon movies do. But this one is also different. In usual Pokémon movies it's usually a little more about ash then his friends. But in this movie it feels we really see May take on a bigger role. It's refreshing to see more of those other characters. Ash still has a big role to play as well so it's not like he's been push's out of the picture. Also this is the last movie that May and Max will be in. This movie overall just has a different feel from the others. It shows more of the fact that Pokémon and people can have amazing bounds and are like family to one another. I highly recommend watching it.
