Production The film was initially announced back in December 10, 2017 broadcast of TV Tokyo 's variety program Oha Suta, under the title Pokémon the Movie 2018 ( 劇場 版 ポケットモンスター 2018, Gekijō - ban Poketto Monsutā 2018 ), showing a new character design for the film 's main protagonist Ash Ketchum alongside a new unnamed character. The film also revolves around the Legendary Pokémon Lugia. Alongside the reveal of the film, Wit Studio ( Attack on Titan, The Ancient Magus ' Bride ) is confirmed to co-produce and animate the next film. A new trailer for the film was released on February 27, 2018, which revealed 5 new characters accompanying Ash in the movie alongside the mysterious new character ; the film 's initial premise was also revealed. The staff also revealed that Kunihiko Yuyama will serve as the film 's animation supervisor, the first time he will not direct a Pokémon film in his career. Alongside the new director, Eiji Umehara and Aya Takaha were writing the film 's script. Music Regular series composer Shinji Miyazaki wrote the film 's score for its original release. Porno Graffitti composes the ending theme of the song titled `` Breath ''. Release The movie premiered in Japanese theaters on July 13, 2018. Critical reception Callum May of Anime News Network noted some poorly rendered 3D background characters and the familiarity in both Zeraora 's arc and the overarching plot. He praised the film 's ability to deliver multiple storylines ( singling out Kagachi 's arc for showing `` heartwarming moments of clarity '' ) and memorable backgrounds in addition to the main cast 's distinct character designs and animation. He concluded that `` ( T ) here is a possibility that the localisation wo n't be able to properly translate some aspects and may lose the tone of some important scenes, but if they manage to nail it, Pokémon fans are in for a standout film that reinvents the formula yet again.
