I loved it - I thought the performances from Justice Smith and Ryan Reynolds were really good, and the plot was fun and felt very classic Pokemon. The plot was predictable but that didn’t really bother me - I still liked the story and characters and had a great time.

The only story thing that confused me was - why did the villain want to make everyone into Pokémon? I get why he wants to be Mewtwo, but why swap the whole city?

Yeah, that confused me, too. I get the wanting to put himself into a Pokemon (a la Bill from Red/Blue) because he can't walk. If that Pokemon is fucking Mewtwo, all the better. But why everybody else? Did he really love the Pokemon/Human companionship of Rhyme City so much he wanted to smoosh them, or was it just "hey no one can blame ME for possessing a pokemon if ALL Y'ALL are possessing pokemon!" There just didn't seem to be any explained reason for it, not even a crazy villain reason.

My interpretation of it is that he believed that by placing the humans into their Pokemon companion they can evolve into better beings. Rhyme City would have human/Pokemon hybrids that takes humanity to the next evolution. Another move to play God.

I think because he saw it as becoming better and had convinced himself that it was for the good of the future.

If you noticed, he had some interesting statues in his office: Arceus, Dialga and Palkia, all in gold. Basically the gods of the Pokeverse. He wanted to, in the end, share this new evolution with everyone. He didn't see it as morally wrong or anything, but just the next step in human evolution.
