For the Pokémon franchise's 20th movie in the series and to commemorate the anime's 20th anniversary, a remake, or more a retelling, of the original first Pokémon series has been made into a film. It was screened last week and released in Japan today.
Ash, Pikachu, Delia Ketchum, Professor Oak, Jessie, James, Meowth and Nurse Joy return. It is unknown yet if Brock and Misty will return or if they'll appear just in their respective gym leader roles. It has been confirmed that characters that had featured through the show's first 6 series will appear in cameo roles.
Gen IV Pokémon (Diamond & Pearl) feature with additional characters that will accompany Ash who were not present in the first series, as well as more of a prominence placed on the Pokémon Ho-Oh.

I have been waiting for this for a long long long long long long time . Phoenix havent showed up or being mentioned since the first few ep. I am really glad they finally decided to make a movie about it. I hope phoenix wont appears just for 20 sec then wont see it again for the entire movie.

A second film in this alternate continuity has been confirmed. It will be released in Japan on July 13th 2018.
I've just recently watched this first film and it's visually stunning and a great retelling of the Kanto story. I'm sort of glad it was completely different for the majority of the film but some of the interpretations of the Kanto era felt rushed (e.g. Butterfree leaving - but I still wanted to cry 
)

I love this film, it is incredible. It was so cute when Pikachu spoke!

omg it’s such a visually stunning retelling of the first film and it’s just subtly different without being a direct carbon copy
