Video: Pokémon The Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution Gets Another 30-Second Teaser Trailer

This looks great. not sure how i feel about Ash, Misty, and Brock's 3D Models yet. i'm sure i'll get used to it soon though.

The Original Version was great and loved the sad moment with ash. i wonder if they will add that in this remake.

I think I'll stick with the original. I always preferred traditional animation and hate that it's going the way of the Dodo.

I honestly love this , sure the anime design of the first will always look better. But i'm excited to see this movie again and see if they change anything to the story

Why are they turning good anime into CG monstrosity?

This looks just like Jump Force.

So it went from "this looks like the same movie again but in CG" to "it's the same movie again in CG".

Stop trying to turn anime into American CG cartoon movies.

I really want to be happy to see the old gang back together, but what on earth is this.

I'm severely tired of Ash and his adventures. I think the anime would be way better of they followed a different kid every generation. I'll watch this one but I prefer the original art style of the first pokemon movie opposed to this.

This looks cheap as hell

Why can't they use the 3D models in the style used of Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Evee? To me they look much better than this.

I still don't understand why they are doing this? The first movie still holds up even if it's a bit cringey at times.

I don't think this is set in the reboot universe, this looks to be a somewhat shot to shot remake of the first movie but in CG. Even the original writer, who's no longer with us, is credited for writing it.

I did wonder if that were the case, maybe they'll just reuse the voice track and music from the original, but Mewtwo's VA seems to have confirmed they're recording a new voice track. Gotta be interesting to see what the Dub will do, will they leave in the music like the Power of Us letting Western fans finally hear the original Japanese music core (if its not a new one.), reuse the original's English dub's score (Though likely without the pop songs) or record an all new score together that either recreates tunes from the original's dub or new music entirely much like movie's 17-20? Course, it'll probably be the TPCI's current VAs as Ash and co....maybe.

@Arcamenel My guess would be the Detective Pikachu movie. Since that will be launching 2 months before this one in Japan, they probably wanted this year's Japanese movie to be more low key and let the American film have the spotlight. With a shot to shot remake, you don't have to write a new story and if it is exactly like the original but CG, you could even reuse the music score and voice track if you want (The VA for Mewtwo has somewhat confirmed he's re-voicing his character but who knows if its everyone...).

Sure the CG might of taken some work but it sure as heck won't compare to the level of CG for the Detective Pikachu movie.

I'm so unused to seeing Pokemon characters in this style that I can't even determine whether I like it or not. I'm just perplexed. I guess I'll look forward to seeing more of the movie to see if I can form some semblance of a definite opinion about it.

The Pokémon look alright at best but the humans look downright terrifying. I thought maybe it was just worse as still images and it is... but it’s not much better in motion.

I mean, maybe I’m not the target demographic, haven’t watched a Pokémon movie since maybe... the fourth one? (I saw some of the Giratina one on Twitch and wasn’t impressed). Still, even with all my nostalgia for the first movie, you’d have to pay me to see this...

@Wanjia aren't they in the Sun and Moon Anime? or was that a one time thing?

No... Japan! You are the world leader in 2D animation! Please stop! Don't give into this pressure that the rest of the world has fallen to!

CG animation WILL NEVER MATCH 2D. Never.

Reminds me of Cubix, and that was awful.

This looks awful, they should've made a movie or series in the style of those Pokemon Generation shorts from a few years ago. Those were awesome. Too bad they were only a few minutes long.

I'm sorry but I don't know what they are thinking with the models for the characters. The Environments look amazing! In fact Mewtwo himself looks amazing, but my goodness do the human characters look really bad.

The human characters don't look perfect but are fine. The rest is looking really good from what I can see. Overall I'm happy with what I'm seeing. And, actually, I'm a bit more optimistic about this than the live-action Detective Pikachu based on what I've seen so far. Although I am very interested to see how Detective Pikachu turns out.

I think it looks cool. I’ve seen a lot of reactions saying the opposite. I actually would like Switch Pokémon game to look like this.

This is a great idea! However, they should update it to have mewtwo mega evolve or maybe even slide in a few johto pokemon, considering that the island most of the movie takes place in is probobly right next to johto.

@Aozz101x : They returned for a two-episode stint, and then they returned about a year later (I'm not sure for how many episodes).

The Pokémon themselves look great, but the human characters are HIDEOUS.

How foolish was I to think that this movie would be a Pokémon-only film without Ash and co.

I was quite looking forward to this, but this development has dampened my enthusiasm quite significantly.

This movie looks like it was made by stringing together cutscenes from an early PS3 game.

looks good to me

Oh so it is a cg movie, that explains the remake then

I just can’t get behind that. The CG is just so unnecessary for this. And it actually looks worse than the original to me. That said, I may watch it, once.

Yeah... I'll stick to the original!

Don't really like there 3D animations, they look a lot different

Reminds me of Robot Chicken

Probably gonna like it regardless....... but yeah 2D Animation is the way to go for Pokemon!
