First Trailer for CGI Remake of ‘Pokemon the First Movie’

While Pokemon fans are looking forward to the highly anticipated first live-action Pokemon movie with Detective Pikachu in May, it is not the only major Pokemon movie being released in 2019. In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the first theatrical Pokemon movie, Toho will release a CGI remake of the original film and it will premiere in Japan during July of this year. This CGI remake is known as Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution, retelling the story of Mewtwo in the first Pokemon movie with more backstory and in CGI.

The new film seems to be taking the original designs of the characters from the hit anime series and creating them into CGI. Ash, Misty, and Brock are showcased in this trailer along with Meowth and the iconic legendary Pokemon himself, Mewtwo. The trailer is only in Japanese and for the time being, it is unknown whether the film will have an international release with an English dub. If the film does get released in the U.S., it’ll be a superb way for fans of Pokemon to witness more exciting Pokemon action with the remarkable CGI quality accomplished today.

See trailer linked below.

Ryan Pineda: When it comes to film, animation, video games and other mediums, I can discuss for hours about how much on why certain films and animated media made me the person I am today. I adore the artistic merit that comes from a lot of pop-culture media and will definitely love to have a conversation about favorite movies any day! I have graduated in 2017 with a BA in Film and Television at the University of Arizona. Been passionate about writing about films due to always having an interesting outlook on the medium. Will always see a film and will definitely be sure to recommend it to someone that I know for a fact would love that movie. Not only that but will also give reasons for why I think that film did or did not work as a movie, and the same can go for other pieces of media like television, video games and especially animated projects.
