This is a Pokemon movie through and through. This does not mean it's a bad movie, but it does mean you will need to suspend your disbelief a great deal before you can truly enjoy it.
When people start talking about 'souls', 'spirits', and 'magic' and doesn't provide further explanation, this is something you will have to accept, because these things exist in the Pokemon universe and are a fact of life. The Pokemon World is not Like Reality Unless Noted, and if you can't accept that, Detective Pikachu will come off as being bad at explaining things.
In other words, it assumes you're already on board, not just with the iconic Mon's running around, but with the world as a whole.
If you are, or can accept that things that would be mindblowing in our world are introduced with little fanfare? It's a fantastic movie.
If not.. You might have a little worse of a time. Still enormously funny though!
