The upcoming Pokémon movie is a CGI remake of the first anime film, where Mewtwo takes a villainous turn and numerous Pokémon are cloned. The first trailer offers a preview of the visuals.
The trailer showcases the transformation of the original 2D anime style into 3D CGI. It’s an intriguing adaptation, reminiscent of the initial CGI efforts seen in Pokémon trading cards.
Key scenes from the source material are featured, including Pikachu interacting with its clone, Mewtwo in its armor (discussed shortly), and the familiar characters: Ash, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket.
It’s worth noting that this is a separate film, distinct from the other Pokémon movie, Detective Pikachu.
Regarding Armored Mewtwo, while the film aims to closely replicate the original, Mewtwo’s Team Rocket-designed cyber armor has undergone a redesign.
A recent trademark in Japan for “Armored Mewtwo” suggests a significant merchandise push, and even more excitingly, code for “Mewtwo_A” was discovered in Pokémon Go’s data, hinting at a potential tie-in release.
