The movie is a throwback to the Pokemon anime’s very first episode.
The film is slated to make its Japanese premiere on July 15, 2017.
The movie will focus on how Ash first set out on his journey from Pallet Town with Pikachu, and also takes a look at how he encountered his first legendary Pokemon, Ho-oh.
The new visual really looks like something Makoto Shinkai would be directing, right?
