Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai (Pokemon Movie 10) (2007)

Wow -- finally a Pokemon movie I can stomach! I actually like it. The animation is excellent (in the background and foreground, that is, celestial and terrestrial) and there is even a storyline (not that it explains anything but there it is). There is more of a community of Pokemon creatures -- they are even introduced in a more holistic fashion as a vibrant ecology -- acting to help each other and altruistically standing in the gap to face a truly cosmic threat of destruction. The voice talent is off and Team Rocket only has a few throwaway scenes but you'll keep coming back for the attractive and detailed animation. 3 stars.
