　　Now Playing: Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution - Official Trailer (Japanese)

　　It looks like the film will appear in other regions, too--an announcement of the film's Netflix release was retweeted by Netflix Australia/New Zealand, and it seems that Netflix has licensed this release.

　　The film is largely about the origin of Mewtwo, who was created by humans, and a conflict between it and the series' heroes. The original Mew makes an appearance as well. All told, it has a lot in common with the plot of Detective Pikachu--including the appearance of a CGI Mewtwo.

　　A new Pokemon anime short series, Twilight Wings, is available now.
