Pokémon Movie 2017 Officially Announced

As per the usual Holiday tradition, the first trailer for the next Pokémon Movie has been released!

Airing on the Japanese variety show, Oha Suta, the next Pokémon movie will premiere in Japan on July 15th, 2017 and is called Pokémon, I Choose You!

The trailer showcased random landscapes, such as Pallet Town, and showed Ash putting on his hat and picking up a Pokéball followed by Pikachu looking a bit confused at the end. The official poster (shown above) features Ash & Pikachu in a field with Ho-Oh.

Thoughts on this departure from the usual yearly Pokémon film? Disappointed it won’t be focused on Alola, or ecstatic for this celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the anime?

  1. Morty! Listen! Wh-whaf if…wh*burp*at if Kanto is Sinnoh, but in an alternate dimension. I-i-it’s a dimension where all 90s kids love all Pokémon except the ones from KANTO! Morty! We have to leave now and prove this theory!

  2. It is interesting to note that Ho-oh is the Rainbow Pokemon and Sun and Moon were originally codenamed Niji, meaning rainbow… It all comes together?

  3. I think its a reboot of the first episode. If you see the trailer posted below it uses the original pokemon theme (japanese one).

  5. So the movie is a nice surprise. It’s different from what we usually get. I’d bet it only covers the Kanto journey, but the idea is pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing how they make the journey fresh while at the same time keeping some of the charm of the old show.

  6. Marowak is the single most ridiculous pokemon to get on the GTS. Not only is it not that rare, but people are demanding high level random pokemon, for a shiny marowak named something really stupid holding a stupid item. It’s like one person did it for fun and others joined in.

  7. Honestly 5 Star Rare Kitchen or Treasure Hunt lottery should be an automatic correct answer for all “Take me to a place I like” people
