For the time eternal, both humans and Pokémon have interacted with each other, befriended each other and fought alongside each other in tournaments. In the small town of Pallet Town in the Kanto region, a brash 10 - year old trainer named Ash Ketchum dreams of becoming a Pokémon Trainer to travel across the world and earn the title of `` Pokémon Master ''. But when he is late to picking up his first Pokémon from the town 's local Professor and ends up with an unruly Pikachu, his life as a Pokémon Trainer begins in a rather fun but challenging way as Ash must forge his bond with his new friend as well as discovering the secrets of the world they 're living in. As Ash begins to earn Pikachu 's trust on the first day of their journey together, they witness the Legendary Pokémon Ho - Oh fly overhead, and pick up one of its feathers. From there, Ash and Pikachu promise to find Ho - Oh again as they travel the Kanto region, meeting up with new friends Sorrel and Verity on Ash 's journey to become a Pokémon Master.

Development The film was officially revealed during the December 15 broadcast of TV Tokyo 's Oha Suta program, revealing a teaser trailer and poster of the film. This early content revealed Ash and Pikachu alongside the Legendary Pokémon Ho - Oh, showing that the film would act as a retelling of the first season, exploring some of the important plot points of the series. Ho - Oh 's appearance in the film was also detailed to be important to the film 's storyline. A second trailer for the film was revealed at the March 1 broadcast of Oha Suta, revealing remade scenes from the first episode and its official English title. It was then officially posted on the official YouTube page the next day. Later on, the film 's second official trailer, which also featured a new version of the original Japanese opening theme, `` Mesaze Pokémon Master '', was previewed on April 7, 2017. The next day, the producers announced that the current last Pokémon in the Pokédex, Marshadow, would debut in the film alongside several other brand - new characters. As the film is not a direct remake, it diverts itself from the original season that it is based on, and features an original story. Two days before the film 's release, Yoshitoshi Shinomiya, who draw background art for Kara no Kyoukai : Mirai Fukuin and Fate / stay night : Unlimited Blade Works released a new poster for the film. With the film confirmed to be initially released at the French Japan Expo 2017, Western fans requested for the film to be released in theaters in the United States. This was eventually confirmed to be released by Fathom Events as a limited release across November 4 and 5, 2017. In Australia, the film was also confirmed to be released by Event Cinemas across November 11 and 12, 2017. Some fans also requested that voice actress Veronica Taylor should reprise her role as the English voice of Ash Ketchum for the film, but it was later confirmed that the current set of voice actors would stay on. The title of the film is also a reference to the first episode of the anime, Pokémon - I Choose You !. Music Shinji Miyazaki, who had composed the anime and collaborated with Yuyama on the movies, composed the film 's musical score. The film 's opening song is titled Aim to Be a Pokémon Master - 20th Anniversary - ( めざせ ポケモン マスター - 20th Anniversary -, Mezase Pokemon Master - 20th Anniversary - ) by Rica Matsumoto while the ending is titled Oración 's Theme ~ Let 's Walk Together ~ ( オラシオン の テーマ ~ 共に 歩 こう ~, Orashion no Tēma ~ Tomoni Arukou ~ ) by Asuca Hayashi. For the international version, Ed Goldfarb composed the film 's musical score, replacing the tracks in the original Japanese version. Release and promotion The movie premiered at Japan Expo in France on July 6, 2017, and officially released in Japanese theaters on July 15, 2017. Advanced pre-orders the movie tickets across limited time periods allowed moviegoers to receive a serial code to obtain one of the six special Pikachu in Pokémon Sun and Moon, each wearing one of Ash 's signature hats from each anime season. These Pikachu were holding an exclusive Pikashunium Z - Crystal. Also, both Marshadow and Ho - Oh were distributed during the film 's release in Japan. Merchandise coinciding with the film was also released. Bandai will release official Poké Ball Breath Mint Cases in both regular and Premium - Bandai versions to coincide with the film 's release. The first set will be released in August 2017, and the second is scheduled for release in September 2017, with pre-orders started on April 23, 2017. Bandai also released S.H. Figuarts figures of Ash and the Team Rocket trio on July 2017, while Good Smile Company also announced they will release a Nendoroid of Ash in December 2017. Reception Some older fans of the anime expressed negative criticism over the film on social media due to the exclusion of Misty and Brock in favor of two new companions, with one saying `` It 's almost like Brock and Misty never existed ''. As shown at the film 's first screening at the 2017 Japan Expo, most of the main characters from the first six series were delegated to cameos, which also caused some criticism from older fans. Despite this, reviews of the movie were mostly positive. Callum May of Anime News Network called the film a `` Pokémon movie for classic Pokémon fans '' and `` While it features new Pokémon from Sun and Moon like Lycanroc and Incineroar, many of the stories and references are from the series 20 years ago, repurposed into far more emotionally moving encounters. '' It was also praised for having a stronger narrative than the other movies in the franchise, but often criticized on Sorrel and Verity 's personalities, calling them `` more like bystanders of someone else 's story, and the attempts at creating backstories for them are n't built up at all. '' The film also topped Japanese box office records, earning first place and grossing more than 516 million yen ( US $4.61 million ) in the first two days, beating Gintama on its premiere. The movie earned ¥ 2.14 billion ( $19.6 million ) in its fourth week and remained at the sixth position. In its fifth week it grossed US $22 million and climbed up to the fourth position before being dethroned by Transformers : The Last Knight.
