“Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!” (劇場版ポケットモンスター キミにきめた！), Original Japanese Movie Poster 2017, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA1089
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 2017 for the first theatrical release of Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! (劇場版ポケットモンスター キミにきめた！), the twentieth Pokémon feature film and a major anniversary entry in the long-running franchise. Rather than functioning as a straightforward continuation, the film revisits the emotional core of the original Pokémon journey, returning to Ash, Pikachu, and the promise that first defined the series for a generation of viewers.
Film background
Released in 2017, Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! reimagines the beginning of Ash Ketchum’s adventure, drawing on the earliest era of Pokémon while reshaping it into a self-contained cinematic story. The film places Ash and Pikachu at the centre of a quest bound up with the legendary Ho-Oh and the dream of becoming a true Pokémon trainer. For many collectors, it stands as one of the most nostalgic modern Pokémon films, deliberately bridging the original television phenomenon of the late 1990s with the later global legacy of the franchise.
Poster design
This is a superb and highly evocative Japanese release design. The composition is dominated by a glowing sunset sky, with Ash and Pikachu seated in the foreground looking toward a distant mountain and the flight of Ho-Oh above. The effect is expansive, romantic, and deeply nostalgic, using warm golds, reds, and violets to create a mood of wonder and destiny. The large blue title at the bottom anchors the image beautifully, while the overall design captures the sense of adventure, friendship, and promise that made Pokémon so enduring in the first place.
Unlike busier character-heavy campaign posters, this design is unusually calm and cinematic. It distils the emotional essence of the film into a single image and, as a result, works especially well as a display piece.
