The latest 'Pokémon' anime movie seems to use elements from 'Pokémon 4Ever'.
The Pokémon CompanyThe latest Pokémon anime movie Coco looks to follow on from the other recent remakes and has a distinctly Tarzan vibe about it.
Fans have already noticed in the teaser trailer (shown below) that this movie features what looks like the altar from the fourth Pokémon movie, Pokémon 4Ever.
So this continues the trend of recent Pokémon movies borrowing elements from film entries earlier in the series.
This is no bad thing, as Pokémon has grown and expanded over the years as a series and newer players have joined the fanbase in the time since.
That means there is a lot of lore and backstory for these newer fans to catch up on, so retelling some of these elements makes a fair bit of sense.
Either way, this looks decent in an animation sense, even from the short teaser trailer, so that’s definitely good news at least.
Not to mention the whole boy swinging through the trees Tarzan-style being an interesting update.
Whether Celebi or Suicune will make an appearance though is anyone’s guess.
Pokémon the Movie: Coco is released in theaters on July 10 in Japan.
