Pokémon: The Movie
The Pokémon Company has announced that the latest trailer (most likely a short version of it) for the Pokémon: Everyone’s Story (the latest Pokémon movie) would be shown during the Oha*Star variety show on Monday in Japan (effectively Sunday in North America and the UK, but Monday morning in Europe).
What’s interesting about this trailer is that it will reveal a new Pokémon, most likely Zeraora (a mythical Pokémon already in the game files, but one that’s yet to be officially revealed).
