New Pokémon Movie Announced After 7 years, and It Will Be the First of Its Kind

A new Pokémon animated movie, titled Pokémon: Wild Card or Pokémon: Wildcard, has been announced. It will be the first theatrical Pokémon movie in seven years. The film is set to be released in 2027 or later.

According to SoraNews24, the movie will be a departure from the usual formula, as it will not focus on the character Satoshi, also known as Ash. The film is also said to be Mimikyu-centric.

The Pokémon movie series had been consistent, with a new film released every summer in Japan from 1998 to 2020. However, there has been a seven-year gap since the last movie, Secrets of the Jungle, also known as Pokémon the Movie: Coco, was released in 2020.
