What are Pokémon movies?

Pokémon movies are special adventure stories featuring Ash and his Pokémon friends that are shown in movie theaters and on streaming services [1][2]. They're like really long episodes of the Pokémon TV show, but with bigger adventures and better animation [5].

Why do people watch them?

Fans love watching Pokémon movies because they get to see their favorite characters go on exciting quests, catch new Pokémon, and face powerful enemies [1]. The movies often have darker stories and cooler visual effects than regular TV episodes [5].

Where can you watch them?

You can find Pokémon movies on different streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and others, depending on where you live [2][3]. The official Pokémon website helps you figure out which service has the movies in your area [2].

Are there still new movies coming?

Unfortunately, there haven't been new Pokémon anime movies released in Japanese theaters since "Secrets of the Jungle" [4], so fans are wondering if the movie series might be ending.
