Pokémon The Movie: The Power Of Us, the latest movie in the anime franchise, is set to appear in UK cinemas later this year.
The movie, which tells a new story of Ash and Pikachu as they team up with a whole range of characters to face unique challenges and thrilling Pokémon battles, was originally released in Japan in July this year. The film is a sequel to last year's Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, which acted as a reboot of the original movie; characters such as Lugia will be present in this latest release as part of a nod to Pokémon: The Movie 2000 - the second Pokémon film ever to be released.
With a unique art style, new characters, and some exciting surprises for fans both new and old, the new instalment takes place in the seaside town of Frau City, where an annual festival celebrating the legendary Pokémon Lugia is held each year. When the festival’s livelihood is put at risk, Ash must team up with others in Frau City, as well as some extremely familiar faces, to fend off a procession of Pokémon imposing threat to Frau City.
The film we be shown at over 300 cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 24th November and 1st December (with some cinemas featuring additional showings up until 3rd December), and attendees at selected screenings will be able to snag some free Pokémon trading cards just for showing up. You can find all the cinemas participating in the event near you by clicking here. Information for the US screenings of the film was also shared earlier this year.
If you're a fan of the anime, this one's definitely not to be missed! Will you be going to a screening?

Pokemon: The Power of United States. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Back in my day it was Power of One.
@ryancraddock Now that you say that, I remember reading that article, thanks
Is it just me that sees the girl in the red dungarees & thinks Gwenpool?
Will the movie come to Indonesia ?
@NINC0MPUTER So... Pokemon: Trump? Or is it Pokemon: Illuminati?
I don't know. I couldn't get into the reboot. I just couldn't handle what sounded like my childhood being rewritten. I get that it is a reboot, and it got a lot of good praise and reviews... but it bothers me. Pokemon was such a huge part of my childhood. Ash, Brock and Misty, and to a lesser extent, the later characters. That was too important to easily toss aside. At least for me.
I'd have felt better if the reboot featured a totally new character in the lead role with a different Pikachu or a different Pokemon entirely.
@MasterJay It is by FATHOM

They do a great job with these in the US. I saw the OnePiece and PsychoPass Movies when they released it in the US.

Is anyone getting sick of these ''Gotta catch 'em all'' based taglines?
@NINC0MPUTER @Rhaoulos make unova great again
@Heavyarms55 When you say Reboot, do you mean Sun & Moon? As far as I'm aware it's not a complete reboot... Brock & Misty actually come to visit Ash on Alola with a lot of his classic Pokémon.
The style changed, but it's actually produced by exactly the same team that handled X&Y.
@DanteSolablood Not Sun/Moon. The films rebooted - they did one called I Choose You that retconned the intro of the anime and the start of Ash's journey to bring in later-gen Pokémon and remove Misty and Brock. Now this movie is continuing from that one in, apparently, redoing/retconning the Lugia film with a very similar premise but again without the known characters. Basically the films are no longer following the anime timeline, current or old, at all and are inventing a new world altogether, except still with Ash and all his general idiocy, minus character development.
@Benjamin Ah, thank you - I've not really been following the films that much, they're usually all pretty similar. I agree that movie & animé Ash should be the same character though.. half the point of seeing the movies is to see how his story progresses.
@DanteSolablood No I mean the movie where they redid the beginning of the anime and Brock and Misty are just gym leaders and Ash gets different friends.
@Heavyarms55 Thanks, @Benjamin already confirmed what you meant for me - I was unaware that the current movies followed that story line, I saw that movie as a non-canon retelling of the animé.
I've just read the Wikipedia on the movie & you're both correct of course. It's a real shame, though now I know it's rebooted... it might actually make me want to watch it a little more sorry.
