Movie 20 Website Updates with Report from the Movie's World Premiere at Japan Expo Paris 2017
The official Pokémon movie website has updated. Translations follow:
The world premiere of "Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You!" took place at "Japan Expo Paris 2017",
which was held in Paris, France on Thursday July 6th local time.
Japan Expo is the world's largest Japanese culture event,
presenting a wide variety of items relating to Japanese culture, including pop culture like manga, anime, video games, music, fashion and movies,
as well as cultural entertainment, kimonos, Japanese food and other forms of cooking, literature, traditional arts and more.
It's a momentous event that pulled more than 230000 visitors in 2016.
And at "Japan Expo Paris 2017",
The world premiere of "Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You!" took place as the opening night event,
the only screening event for an all new feature film at this point.
This is the first time we try unveiling a Pokémon movie overseas prior to the Japanese premiere.
Ever since this event got announced at a Japan Expo press conference,
the place received a flood of inquiries about this world premiere, and had to quickly distribute numbered tickets in order to answer them.
However, at the day the expo opened,
so many visitors looking forward to this event were gathering at the ticket counter the event became standing-room only.
According to Japan Expo founder Thomas Sirdey, who was involved with the management of this world premiere,
"The Pokémon movies are extremely popular in France as well, so being able to watch the latest movie as an opening event
is the greatest experience Pokémon fans coming to Japan Expo will have had here thus far."
This movie is a story about the "meeting" and "promise" of Satoshi and Pikachu, who are currently absolutely perfect partners.
It's a touching story that both those watching a Pokémon movie for the first time,
but especially those already familiar with this duo, will not be able to watch without shedding tears,
and one person after another started crying loudly here in France as well.
When it was time for the stage greetings after the screening, director Kunihiko Yuyama, who has directed every Pokémon movie thus far, came onto the stage,
as did Satoshi's voice actor Rica Matsumoto and Pikachu.
The audience, which had just watched the movie, greeted them with loud cheers,
and when director Yuyama said "Nice to meet you. My name is Yuyama. How do you do?" in French,
the audience loudly shouted "We're doing fine!" back; The atmosphere in the hall was top notch from the very beginning!
"I enjoyed seeing the very pronounced reactions from the French audience, how they were laughing and clapping to the movie",
he said about the experience of watching the movie together with everyone in the hall.
As Rica Matsumoto then addressed the French audience that normally watches dubbed versions of the Pokémon movies and said
"Right now, voice actors all around the world are making people listen to Satoshi.
I want to say "thank you" to the Satoshis all over the world. And today I want to give you his voice live!
Are you ready? I got a Pokémon!",
the audience responded with excitement so far beyond Matsumoto's expectations it brought tears to her eyes.
When she sang the movie's opening theme, "Mezase Pokémon Master -20th Anniversary-",
the hall hit the peak of its excitement!
And as the event concluded with the entire audience of 3000 yelling "I choose you!" together,
national borders were truly eliminated and everyone came together as one!
After the stage greetings, voices of acclaim for the movie came one after another,
including "I have watched every Pokémon movie so far, and this one was the best yet! Très bien!" and "Even though this was a Pokémon movie, it made my father cry. I want to go watch it again with my entire family!"
In addition, it was announced that a Pikachu wearing the hat that Satoshi,
the protagonist of the TV anime series, wore when the series started airing 20 years ago (the Original Cap)
will be appearing all over the world local time Thursday July 6th (Japanese time Friday July 7th) in "Pokémon Go",
which has become a social phenomenon all over the world and which is currently celebrating the first anniversary of its launch.
We spotted Pokémon Go users excited at this announcement here at the Japan Expo as well,
here on this day that just saw its first world premiere in Pokémon movie history,
an event that blessed both France and the world at large with the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon movies.

We've received many eyewitness reports stating the Nyarth balloon has appeared various places around Japan! Be wary of the damages it causes!

The Rocket Gang held an emergency meeting somewhere in Tokyo on Thursday July 13th, 2 days prior to the movie premiere.
On this day, a total of 100 Rocket gang members and aspiring members came together.
Prior to the emergency meeting where a "Grand Project That Will Shake the Entire World" was going to be announced,
everyone were guided to an open plaza near the venue, and when they arrived there, incredibly enough a gigantic Nyarth balloon made its appearance!
This spectacle startled not only the attendants to the meeting, but also random passerbys.
The Nyarth balloon gradually grew bigger and bigger.
The attendants then gathered at the meeting venue one by one, before the emergency meeting started.
Excitement filled the air as the Rocket Gang mark was shown at the screen at the venue.
Some of the Rocket Gang members were also singing along with the Rocket Gang Team Song as it played throughout the venue.
The meeting then finally started, and the attendants shouted with joy as they heard the voices of Musashi, Kojiro and Nyarth echo through the venue.
They got even more excited when Nyarth showed himself.
And then it was finally time for the announcement of the "Grand Project That Will Shake the Entire World".
The project involves the Nyarth balloon from earlier appearing here and there throughout Japan and creating trouble.
This announcement caused a huge stir among the attendants!
The attendants were also overjoyed to hear the announcement that the Nyarth balloon story would be covered by "Oha Suta" (airs Monday through Friday at 7:05am on the TV Tokyo Network),
"Pokémon no Uchi Atsumaru?" (airs every Sunday at 8am on the TV Tokyo Network),
as well as the "Pokémon Fan" issue that will be released Saturday July 15th.
It was then time for Musashi, Kojiro and Nyarth to ask the audience some questions. When Musashi asked "What will you be able to do if you become our subordinates? Do you have any noteworthy skills?", one of the Rocket Gang members replied "I speak English", to which Musashi and Kojiro responded by saying "We're saved!" in unison. When that member was then told "Then you can help us invade the world!", all the other members applauded.
And then, after everyone had watched the world's first screening of the digitally remastered version of "Pocket Monsters episode 1",
they all took a commemorative photo together, after which the emergency meeting concluded without a hitch.

Episode 1 of the TV Series Will Be Aired on TV
Episode 1 of the TV series will be aired on TV!
Will you watch episode 1 after watching the movie?! Will you watch the movie after watching episode 1?!
We've decided to air "Pocket Monsters episode 1", which was screened during the emergency meeting held by the Rocket Gang to commemorate the premiere of "Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You!",
on broadcast television!
During the TV show "The Pocket Monsters Anime Premium 10", which will consist of 10 episodes and will start airing on the TV Tokyo network starting July 23rd,
we will rebroadcast memorable episodes from the older TV series, chosen by celebrity Pokémon fans and prominent people related to the franchise.
For the monumental first week, we'll show the first episode, "Pokémon! I Choose You!"
This episode was selected by Kunihiko Yuyama.
You can watch this nostalgic first episode of the TV series after watching the movie,
or you can go to the theater after watching the first episode of the TV series.
Either way, this is a long awaited project that will make your eyes completely overflow with emotional tears both two and three times! Definitely look forward to it!
