Godzilla vs. Pokémon

Godzilla vs. Pokémon is a 2023 Japanese-American fantasy adventure monster film directed by Michael Dougherty, Adam Wingard, Kunihiko Yuyama and Takashi Yamazaki. Produced by Apple Studios, Legendary Pictures, The Pokémon Company, Robot Communications, and Annapurna Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Toho and Apple Original Films, it is a crossover between the MonsterVerse, an American cinematic universe that brings together famous movie monsters like Godzilla and King Kong among others, and the Pokémon anime series, and is the fourth film in the MonsterVerse and the 24th Pokémon film, respectively, as well as the first Pokémon film to be set in the same timeline as the main anime since Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel (2016). It is also the sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) and the true series finale to the Pokémon anime and combines live-action and the state-of-the-arts photorealistic VFX and performance-capture acting of the MonsterVerse films with the traditional, hand-drawn Japanese animation of the Pokémon anime.
