>>104297772this is bait because you can't possibly be this stupid but I'll give the waste of time, space, and matter that is your life an honest answer.
This movie is not based on the anime, which frankly, is kind of fucking terrible and only really picks up well after the episodes most of us watched as children.
Its based on a game about an entirely different character who was not black in the game but that's fucking irrelevant since Tom is very much meant to be his own character.
Its set in 'Rhyme City' which is the pokemon equivalent of america.
Ash is off being an enormous fucking failure in pokejapan who skates by on plot armor and preferential treatment.
Tom is busy dealing with being an adult who had to give up his fucking dreams and, oh yeah, saving his dad with a pikachu that used to be a man.
