A new Pokemon movie is coming, and it will be called Pokemon: The Movie, according to the latest news.
The anime, which premiered in Japan on Wednesday, will hit theaters across the U.S. in 2019, according the Japanese version of The Wall Street Journal.
It’s the first major Pokemon movie to be released outside of Japan.
“We are delighted to be announcing this new Pokemon: Movie,” said David Gaider, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment, in a statement.
The movie is slated for release on March 15, 2019, with the release of “Pokemon: The Anime,” which will air on April 16. “
As we continue to expand and deliver our world-class content and experience across our portfolio, the Pokémon brand is the ideal platform for introducing new fans to our animated franchise, and we’re proud to be partnering with Warner Bros.”

The Pokémon movie is a follow-up to the 2014 hit “Pokemon the Movie: Explorers of Sky,” which also was directed by Satoshi Kon and stars Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, and Jason Momoa.
It also follows a new generation of Pokemon that debuted in the “Pokemon Sun & Moon” and “Pokemon Moon” games.
