Pokemon fans, get hyped. The latest movie in the Pokemon franchise titled Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You! ( Gekijōban Pocket Monster: Kimi ni Kimeta!) will have its international premiere on November 5 and 6.

This was confirmed on Monday when The Pokemon Company have announced that they have an agreement with Fathom Events in screening the movie to countries outside of Asia. The countries are not listed yet but the company confirms that “selected international markets” will have the movie screened.

This is the 20th anime movie of the Pokemon franchise and part of the celebration of the franchise’s 20th anniversary. It first premiered in the Japan Expo convention in France last July 6, 2017 in original Japanese dub with French subtitles then its official premiere in Japan was on July 15, 2017.

The difference with this among the other Pokemon movies is that it’s an entire retelling of Ash’s original journey in the Kanto region. The teaser trailer of the film was first revealed in December 15, 2016 during the airing of Oha Suta in Japan. The full trailer was officially released in March which was then followed with a new trailer on April announcing the movie’s premiere dates.

Pokemon’s first stage of international popularity began on its handheld GameBoy Color and trading card game. The immense hype has paved way for an anime adaptation which has been received well by both children and adults alike. Aside from the mentioned Pokemon media, it also had its Augmented Reality game Pokemon GO which is still one of the most downloaded applications for both Google Play and the Apple App Store.

In just two days of its premiere date, Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You! was ranked number one in the Japanese box office and has sold around 436,000 tickets from over 368 theaters earning it an outstanding 516 million yen in its first two days.
