## Production

In August 2020, movie producer Yoshiaki Nishimura had decided to make a movie for the Sailor Moon fans. In September 2020, the movie website has been created, and it was marked as the Starlight Skies will be coming to Dreams and the title for the movie was unnamed, and the date was marked as 2021.

On October 2020, the title for the movie were been updated and officially named as "Pocket Monsters Legends the Movie: The Danger of the Black Dream Hole!" In the website, it was announced there are some new characters. Sakura, Pururu, new villains and transformations have been added, and the trailer was uploaded to YouTube on 17th October, 2020.

In November 2020, the villains were officially named as Chaos Moon, Yamifue, Kuroyume, Chiruchiru, and Shimohido, and they have been added to the website.

Two weeks before the All-Stars movie came out, it has been revealed that an all-new Pretty Cure team has been added to the movie, the trailer of their debut was officially added after 2 days, and the new movie date is revealed to be July 17, 2021. The same trailer confirms that the Pretty Cures' team name is "Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure" and that they will make their offical movie debut. Because of this, the Japanese name ends up getting changed into "Pocket Monster Legends♡Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure: The Danger of the Black Dream Hole!"

## Plot

The movie opens up with Sakura and her Pokémon partner Muuna running from the evil generals Yamifue and Kuroyume through a forest of cherry blossom trees in the Majikarusora. They managed to escape from the monsters but they're surrounded, until a Dream Sky variant Swanna turns the monsters into origamis by pecking them. Sakura and Muuna race towards a portal, and when they reach it, a Dream Sky variant Hypno gives Sakura three cards and tells her to look for the symbols on them to find help. Yamifue arrives and captures Swanna and Hypno after he pushes Sakura and Muuna through the door of portal, telling her where's the Sugar Energy of Children. Then Yamifue senses one particularly strong source of Sugar Energy of Children coming from a young Pokémon, and immediately goes out to find the Sugar Energy of Children. On the other side of the portal, Sakura falls from the sky into Kanto, crashing into Professor Cerise's Lab.

Glorysia Melody wakes up from dreaming about Sakura and Muuna and realizes she wasn't having her own dream. After a training battle with Chloe Cerise, the two meet up with the Professor and talk about Glorysia's dream. Glorysia says she wanted to invite her friends to go cherry blossom viewing together, but all of them said they have other things to do. Professor Cerise then decides to call them.

Meanwhile, the other heroes are going shopping at the store to buy ingredients for curry, but can't agree on what vegetables to get. They just decide to get them all. However, Sugar is looking at the shelf of plushies and begs her mother to buy her the Build-A-Ursaring stuffed Teddiursa. Her mom says no since they're not there to buy stuffies, but Sugar then starts screaming and throwing a massive tantrum in the middle of the aisle. She asks for the Teddiursa plushie again, but Dragonet still says no, so she continues screaming. The heroes are publicly embarrassed by the scene, and Dragonet proceeds to angrily yell at her daughter for causing such a commotion in the grocery store. Sugar says she hates her before floating off, shocking and devastating her mother. Goh is quite mad (while also noticing Nanette crying in the 4Kids fandub), only to suddenly get a call from the Professor, shocking him.

Dragonet realizes that she was way too harsh on her daughter and breaks down in tears, knowing she has to find her soon. The heroes head down to the police station to report that Sugar has ran away and gone missing, only to bump into some girls.

Meanwhile, Glorysia looks for the Cherry Blossoms, but bumps into the girl from her dream. Sakura notices Glorysia's Fennekin, and happily pets it. Glorysia is confused and asks her why she is here. Sakura tells her something said so urgently that she immediately decides to call the others, only for Chloe to rush off to them, stunning her.

On the other fin, however, Sugar meets a fairy named Pururu, who convinces her that her mother does not hate her even if she was angry at her and convinces her to go back to her while giving her a bag of cookies. She reluctantly agrees and goes back to her mom, who hugs her in relief.

Meanwhile, Chloe bumps into Manatsu with the others catching up, angered to as why she is here. Just before the two could fight, Chloe's watch rings, and Glorysia tells everyone that the Sugar Energy of Children is being targeted. Shocked, everyone retreats to their homes, with Manatsu and her friends resting at Professor Cerise's lab.

However, that night, a mysterious flute sound starts playing through Vermillion City, and Sugar is immediately hypnotized and starts floating towards a Pikachu-shaped boat with numerous children and young Pokémon happily singing about desserts while on board. Chloe wakes up and notices her 'adopted' Yamper, Yampie, being along the hypnotized, and decides to tell everyone what happened. Techno becomes shocked about Laura and Kururun being missing too. Forte hears a flute sound and says that there's a flute sound that is a way around the garden. Cheren uses his Roto-Dream Phone's Radar and it shows the locations, Glorysia deciding it's a chase. Once those are done, the Tropical-Rogue! girls become shocked, Manatsu fearing for Laura's safety. Megumi suggests that the boat is going to flying off to a magical utopia carnival when the boat is filled by children, but Glorysia decides to run to the boat and yells at Yamifue to stop playing the flute. She stopped, and the children and young Pokemon pass out. Mallow then heals the PokéPets using the Fleur Élémen.

Shocking the villains, Glorysia immediately yells to Yamifue about the childrens' disappearance, and Sakura says that her home was destroyed because of herself, so she decides to summon the bubble kids, shocking the heroes. Nijiko then tells everyone to transform in order to fight against Yamifue, Chiruchiru and Kuroyume while she becomes Angel Wing, only for the Tropical-Rogue! Cures to become shocked that they're magical just like them.

While fighting, they were been exhausted then Pururu angered at Yamifue, playing her flute without any reasons. Pururu mad at her brother and saying how did he and his general take children around the world with them, and saying that they nuture the Black Dream Hole. He sends the hypnotized childrens to attack Pururu, but a blast of Aura attacked the hypnotized childrens. It was Ash Ketchum! Nanette hugs her friend so happily that the newly-titled Pokémon Master's Pikachu nuzzles her cheek. Pikachu's Trainer started to attack and dodge against his enemies, including the children, with Glorysia immedately performing Starlight Rush for some time.

Unbeknowest to the heroes, the boat is actually headed to Marizipan Castle where all the kids and Pokémon will be put in Dream Coffins in eternal sleep as fuel for the Black Dream Hole, but Yamifue is particularly interested in Sugar since she is happy-go-lucky and has a wild imagination, making her an extremely strong source of Sugar Energy. Dragonet desperately tries to retrieve Sugar, but she floats into Marzipan Castle and the door slams shut, causing her and the other heroes to smack into the door. She tries to open the door, but it is no use even with the magical warriors' enhanced strength, and she starts to sob, thinking she's failed and is a terrible mother. Angel Wing comforts her by saying she isn't a terrible mother and they'll find a way to save her precious baby. Warrior Blaze says that Sugar doesn't really hate her and was just upset in the heat of the moment, but adds that time is still of essence.

She continues sobbing, though, and thinking Sugar is dead, starts to leave. However, at that moment, Yamifue bursts out holding Sugar in her fist, who is screaming. Yamifue dares her to fight her if she wants her daughter back and drains the power from all the magical warriors (minus four), pinning them to the ground naked covered in just a glow and detransformed, uncounscoius. She then gloats that it's a one-on-one and that she'll lose for sure since she's a Pokémon and all the humans (not knowing that Nanette, Nijiko, Manastu and Glorysia have dodged) are de-powered. Yamifue flees into the Black Dream Hole she created, putting Sugar in the center as the power source. Pururu, however, offers to help her and the two team up. To their surprise, the humans who dodged offer to help as well and three of the girls get an upgrade while Glorysia's Dream Stone awakens, giving everyone a boost of power. They realize that the only way to save Sugar is to actually go inside the Black Dream Hole and retrieve her, but it is completely dark. Thus, Super Happiness Sparkle activates the Etoile Èlèmen bottle, but it still only lights up a certain radius, so Angel Wing creates a glowing rainbow orb of light from her palm as an additional light source. Shimmering Summer is terrified to go in, but after Dragonet slaps her and furiously yells at her that it's the only way to save Sugar (calling her a coward), she gives in and recuntly agrees to go inside, especially since she also needs to save Laura and Kururun.

The 6 of them head inside, but have to all hold hands/fins to avoid floating away in the zero-gravity environment. Pururu sees an unconscious Sugar in her Dream Coffin and her mother desperately tries to rush over and save her baby, but the group is suddenly stopped by Yamifue. She explains that she's trying to *protect* the children and baby Pokémon by keeping them safely in their Dream Coffins instead of being exposed to the dangers of the world. They try to get to Sugar, but Yamifue blocks their path and the heroes realize they will have to battle her if they want Sugar back, and Angel Wing has to stop Dragonet from recklessly floating towards Yamifue and furiously trying to fight her singelfindedly, knowing she wants her baby back badly but it is extremely dangerous. She attempts to use her Return attack, but Super Happiness Sparkle reminds her that her connection to the Èlèmen of Love specifically gives her the ability to purify *Nightmares* or other Èlèmen Spirit-posessing monsters with Return, not just any evil. This slightly annoys Summer, and much to the others' dismay, she acts without even thinking of a plan, though she does quickly get her hold of her friends' hands back.

The girls devise a plan to purify Yamifue with their ÈlèChanMirrors (while Shimmering Summer and Dragonet will lead the attack), which will immediately make the Black Dream Hole disappear without Yamifue and free Sugar, Laura and Kururun. They nod and carry out the plan. Summer and Dragonet respectively use Shining Summer Strike and Return, with Super Happiness Sparkle, Angel Wing, and Rainbow Melody tapping their ÈlèChanMirrors to add their purifying beams to the two attacks to distribute the strain so they will become much less exhausted. They all purify Yamifue, causing the Black Dream Hole to evaporate.

A few minutes later, Sugar wakes up and sees a worried Nijiko, Nanette, Glorysia, Manatsu, and Dragonet (and the other heroes, who have since regained consciousness) looking at her. She is confused, but alive, and asks what happened. The girls tell her that she was unconscious, and Sugar tells her mother that she doesn't hate her. Dragonet, however, apologizes for being so harsh on her earlier and says she's the one at fault. After mother and daughter express their mutual love for each other, the movie ends with the heroes and their Pokémon dancing in sync on stage to "Moonlight Densetsu."

## Official website quote

While Sugar and her mother are shopping with Nijiko who is buying ingredients for curry for her mother and the other heroes, Sugar gets upset when her mom refuses to buy her a stuffed Teddiursa and runs away, thinking her mom hates her and screaming that she hates her. She soon meets Pururu and befriends her, but her happy-go-lucky personality makes her the perfect target for an evil woman who wants to harvest her positivity.

## Trivia

* The movie is based on *Sailor Moon SuperS The Movie,* but with Sugar filling Chibiusa's role and her mother having to venture into the Black Dream Hole to save her like Usagi did. In fact, Foodyeater came up with this movie idea themselves for their Spongebob Squarepants-esque slice-of-life Pokémon series, but Glorysia Melody expanded on it by also basing the movie on *Pretty Cure Dream Stars*.
	+ Coincidentally, Sugar and Chibiusa are cheerful and sometimes annoying/bratty young children (or in Sugar's case, an infant Pokémon) who are associated with the color pink and are the child of a main character.

* As a reference to the movie it's based on, there is one scene where the power drain from the Black Dream Hole leaves several human characters pinned to the ground and only covered in a blue glow.
	+ The main characters black out before the scene. Originally, they were going to only keep their accessories once they got covered in the glow (e.g. Nijiko keeping her partial bun, Cure Sandalwood retaining her Cure hair with the headwrap and her earrings but her clothes are gone, Sakura retains her headband, etc.), but this idea has since been scrapped.

* The flying boat that the brainwashed children/young Pokémon (including Sugar) board while singing about desserts is modeled after a Pikachu rather than a Chinese dragon, and Dragonet and Pururu cling on to a flying stuffed Teddiursa when trying to reach Sugar's Dream Coffin rather than a ripped clown head.
* Event Horizon and her "master" Queen Vera do not appear in this movie, mostly because the former has the power to easily floor several characters at once without breaking a sweat and would easily win and end the movie prematurely, including the more powerful original 9 warriors (Nanette, Marina, Goh, Cheren, Bianca, Chloe, Mikey, Chelsea, and Lydia). This is also the same reason she never fights directly and instead just sends out Nightmares on behalf of her "master" to do the work for her.
* This movie's book adaption is currently being worked on in Reedsy, a website for making and publishing books online. However, it will be published on a different site due to unofficial stuff unable to be published in a *real* book.
* It is shown that the bottle containing the Normal Èlèmen can waft out any scent the user desires, since Fubuki (who also happens to be a Normal Èlèmen) attempts to use it to calm down a bawling Dragonet with a relaxing lavender scent after Sugar had told her she hated her and ran away and Nanette tries to use it to calm her with a cinnamon scent, but they both fail. At the end, however, Cure Sandalwood successfully creates a vanilla scent from the bottle to lull Sugar to sleep faster.
	+ Fubuki also uses it to summon a furbrush and shampoo for Anna as well as a pillow, implying that the Normal Èlèmen bottle's main "everyday" use is also to both create cosmetic products (scents are considered a cosmetic) for the user's appearance and things like pillows for bedtime.

* Irranda also happens to be at the store, and she and Dragonet end up getting into a fight over who's a better jerk. Irranda says that the writers made her an arrogant snob who doesn't want to admit she's actually a nice girl, but Dragonet counters that the writers made her a rude, snarky, short-tempered jerka-- (bleeped out) who is only that way *because of PTSD* and is fact pretty nice and fun-loving. Irranda, however, screams that it isn't an excuse to be so mean and a physical fight then ensues over who's nicer behind their jerk exterior.
* This movie is drawn in the *Tropical-Rogue! Pretty Cure* style.
* Hatsune Miku appears at the very beginning of the movie with Glorysia Melody to remind the viewers in the cinema about the COVID-19 safety regulations. She, however, does not make an appearance in the actual film.
	+ This is removed in the DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
* Unlike the temporarily depowered heroes, Super Happiness Sparkle, Shimmering Summer, Angel Wing, and Rainbow Melody do not detransform onscreen like characters do in a lot of canon episodes (although even in the canon episodes, they still detransform offscreen the vast majority of the time, just changing back onscreen a bit more frequently than the fanon version). When the scene cuts to the 4 girls back in their civilian forms worriedly watching Sugar wake up, Nijiko has her outfit on again like normal, strongly implying that whatever clothing she is wearing before she becomes powered up will reappear upon detransformation.
* A preview for an AU franchise (Magical Heart), along with its series *Magical Heart Angelix* , *Magical Heart* and *Magical Heart Beginnings*, is played after the dance scene.
	+ Kou/Angel Clover and her friends Momoko/Angel Cozy, Hana/Angel Snowdrop, Nemu/Angel Poppy, Hinoiri/Angel Sunset, Aki/Angel Jelly, a blurry 7th member of the Happy Charms team, and blurry (due to the size of the main cast) images of the rest of the main cast are shown in the preview for the Angelix trailer.
	+ Due to the size of the main cast, blurry images of the Magic Hearts are shown in the mainstream trailer, though their names aren't known yet.

## Dub edits

* The movie's main conflict starts when Nijiko and her Pokémon are at the store along with the other heroes and Shugadorimu wants a Himaguma plushie, but *why* they are at the store is different in the dub: in the original, Nijiko is buying ingredients for curry for her mother, while in the dub she is buying Moomoo Milk for her mother. However, real-life grocery stores don't usually have a shelf of plushies right across from the food, unless it's a general drugstore like Walgreens.
* When Dragonet goes down to the police station with the heroes to report that her daughter has ran away and is missing, Officer Jenny's gun on her belt is edited out while she is talking to them. Her bodycam, handcuffs, taser, and club are also edited out.
* Several items seen at the store are edited:
	+ The packets of dried nori seaweed are changed to bags of chips.
	+ The lottery machines (with a picture of a Meowth on the front) seen near the checkout are removed, most likely to avoid implications of gambling.
	+ The "Stay healthy" text on a sign in one aisle is removed, even though the "Stay healthy" is supposed to imply the shelf has over-the-counter medicine. However, the English dubbers must have thought that said text implied that the shelf had birth control instead of medicine.
	+ The ice cream Lydia (Megumi) and Nanette buy at the last second from the impulse buy freezer is actually frozen dango in the original.

* In the original, after her mother refuses to let her have the Himaguma plushie, Shugadorimu repeatedly swears at her mother and the heroes before screaming she hates her and Magnetic Levitation-floating off. In the dub she simply screams "I HATEEY YOU!" at all the heroes (but especially her mother) before floating off. The 4Kids fandub adds Nanette crying hard after that is said.
* At the end when Shugadorimu and Shitasakan-chan are reunited, Shugadorimu says "Aishitereey, okaa-sameeya" after apologizing for her actions and her mom then says she loves her and uses Sing to put her to sleep. In the original, her Sing is essentially an instrumental version of Meloetta's calming song from *Unova's Survival Crisis,* but in the English dub, it sounds like an instumental of Jigglypuff's song.
* The snot dripping from Shitasakan-chan's snout when she sobs that she is a terrible mother is edited out, but the sniffling sounds are kept.

## Easter Eggs

* The plushies are of the brand "Build-A-Ursaring," an obvious parody of "Build-A-Bear."

* The children and young Pokémon sing the same song about desserts as in the real SuperS movie, but some of the food names they sing about are changed to Pokémon food items, such as "Mint pie and *Custap* pie" instead of "Mint pie and *apple* pie." The song name is also changed to "The Three O'Clock Pipi/Clefairy."
* Karyll wears Elec Man's mask in one scene.
* When Dragonet and the heroes attempt to chase after Sugar at the entrance to Marzipan Castle, them smacking into the door which slams shut at the last second resembles the ending of *My Little Pony Equestria Girls.*
* Only Nanette and Marina's duo transformation are seen on-screen in the 4Kids fandub. The introductions, the "Dream Stars United!" secne and the power-up sequences are unaffected, however.
* The Fairies, Cures (they and Sakura using the Voler Èlèmen), and Angel Wing flying to Marzipan Castle resembles the Inner Senshi flying in a circle after Sailor Moon in the opening theme song.
* Dragonet's shocked and hurt reaction to Sugar saying she hates her resembles the look on Marlin's face when Nemo tells him he hates him in *Finding Nemo.*
* The movie ends with the heroes and their Pokémon all dancing in sync to "Moonlight Densetsu." In the English dub, the song is replaced with Amanda Lee's English cover of the song, which is a bonus since Nijiko/Elizabeth's English voice actress is Amanda Lee.
* A plushie of a Ledyba, a black Meowth, and a dark purple Mothim are all sitting next to each other on the toy shelf, referencing the alter egos of the three main characters of *Miraculous Ladybug.*
* The very first scene where the characters tell the audience not to talk or use phones during the movie has Sugar jump onto the screen and interrupt by saying "HEY! IT'S SUGAR!" which sounds similar to Fred Figglehorn's catchphrase "HEY! IT'S FRED!" in the *Fred* web series.
* Hatsune Miku appears at the very beginning of the movie with Glorysia Melody to remind the viewers in the cinema about the COVID-19 safety regulations. She, however, does not make an appearance in the actual film.
* The plot of the movie is vaguely similar to *Finding Nemo* and *The Little Mermaid*: a non-human parent (of an aquatic species) of a young child is too harsh on them, causing them to say they hate them and run away (causing the child to get captured) and then the parent realizes they were too harsh and has to go get their child back and apologize. As a bonus, Sugar and Dragonet are fish as well. The parent also thinks the child is dead, but the child luckily comes out alive in the end.
	+ When Sugar opens her eyes and sees her mom, Nanette, Manatsu, Nijiko, and Glorysia looking at her in worry, the first thing she says is "Mommy? ...I don't hateey you." which references the first thing Nemo says to his dad upon waking up, "Daddy? ...I don't hate you."
* When Laura comes to, she says to Manastu "What... What happened, Manastu?" Part of this reference Glorisia Daisy's line when she is freed from the darkness in *Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree*.
* When Dragonet furiously yells at Shimmering Summer that going inside the Black Dream Hole is the only way to save Sugar and that she's a coward for refusing, her head (though it actually includes her whole body since fish don't have necks to turn) comically grows enormous while she is yelling at her, resembling Jessie yelling in some episodes of Pokémon, such as in "One Trick Phony*."*
