Multiple beautiful pieces of artwork depicting Satoshi, Kasumi and Takeshi's journey,
done in a style somewhat different from how the earlier Pokémon movies have been portrayed, have been born from Mr. Nakashima's hand!

Some of this special artwork is now being presented prior to the movie's premiere!
Specially made posters will be put up at theaters showing "Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution", so please look forward to them!

More special artwork will appear during the movie's end credits, so make sure to sit through them in their entirety!
