The Dragon Lord
Origins was an adaptation, and the same content (the game storyline) can be adapted into a movie as well.
Origins jumped around disjointedly. It worked because it was meant to be watched by fans who can easily fill in the blanks. It was a completely different type of adaptation than a movie would have to be.
Regardless, it's not that I'm saying a movie couldn't be done, just that it wasn't the safest choice. And since the producers have no clue how well a live action Pokémon movie will do, it's smart to go with a safe choice first.
That this is easier is relative.
Relative to what, exactly?
That would be just a dumb idea. If you are going to introduce this universe in a certain way to an audience, you are not going to change it on the next movie. You keep the basis of what you established.
Why? What's to stop them, if that's what they want to do? Even if keeping consistent were a big issue, what reason is there that a Detective Pikachu movie couldn't coexist with a traditional game-based movie?
I obviously don't.
So it's not just speaking English, but even the anime-style Pokémon speak you don't like? Do realize that the public perception of Pokémon is that they say their names, and because of that there's no way we would ever get a movie where they don't?
