This is Pokemon. And it fits the "hero" mould of stories to a T. Hero is an outcast, hero discovers his "powers", hero is in denial, hero faces pressure to convince others of his power, hero has a "lover", hero saves the day.
I used to be able at doing this when I was still taking Genre and Narratives but you get the idea.
The voice talents were particularly entertaining. Helmed by "people with the most entertaining voices" Gerard Butler of 300, America Ferrera of Ugly Betty and talk-crap host Craig Ferguson and relative-Canadian-unknown Jay Baruchel, the characters were funny, fast-talking, witty and above all, very human. I liked that about the film.
Other than that cos it was quite formulaic, it was only fun while it lasted.
