This will be the first time in its 22-year history since 1998 to release a Pokémon anime film in winter.
The 23rd Pokémon anime film was initially scheduled to be released on July 10, 2020, but has been postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
In the latest July 2020 issue of Shogakukan’s Monthly CoroCoro Comic published today, it is announced that the release date of Pokémon the Movie: Coco in Japan is now set for this winter.
