The new animated film "Pokémon: Coco" will be released this winter. It will be released in winter for the first time in 20 years.

The new animated film "Pokémon: Coco", which was previously postponed due to the epidemic, was announced today on June 15 that it will be released this winter. This is also the first time in more than 20 years that the "Pokémon" series of movies has bid farewell to the July summer season and will be released in winter.

"Pokémon: Coco" is the 23rd theatrical work in the Pokémon series. It was originally scheduled to be released in Japan on July 10. The work was produced by Pikachu Project, directed by Tetsuo Yajima, and co-written with Atsuhiro Tomioka. It is worth mentioning that players who participate in the pre-order of movie tickets will also receive special rewards for "Pokémon: Sword/Shield": a different color Celebi + a new mythical Pokémon - Zalud.

Interestingly, the first 22 animated films in the Pokémon series were all scheduled for the summer season in early July, but now they have been forced to be postponed to winter.
