Ash and Pikachu journey deep into the jungle and face the Mythical Pokémon Zarude in the newest trailer for Pokémon: Secrets of the Jungle. The film is the 23rd film based on the long-running popular video game series, taking inspiration from characters featured in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield video games. The film will be released on Netflix worldwide (excluding Japan, Korea, and China) on October 8th.
The movie will follow the anime series protagonists on a new standalone adventure as the pair journey deep into the forest of Okoya. The duo meets a young boy named Koko, who has been taken and cared for by a mythical Pokémon named Zarude since he was a young child and now believes himself to be a Pokémon. Together they must uncover Koko's past and save the forest from certain destruction by researchers. A Pokémon GO crossover event has been announced to coincide with the movie, with details releasing alongside the trailer.
Uploaded on The Official Pokémon Youtube Channel, the trailer offers fans a glimpse at the film's settings and characters. The trailer features Ash and Pikachu staring in awe at the forest of Okoya and reveals quick flashes of the different kinds of Pokémon who dwell deep within, such as Zarude. The trailer introduces new characters who join the series' mainstays, such as Koko, Zarude, and the researchers who disturb the forest's wildlife before revealing the conflict of the humans and their machines versus Pokémon. Check out the trailer below.
The film sees the franchise return to 2D animation following 2019's Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution, which instead adopted a CGI animation style to differentiate itself from the original film, Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back, and celebrate its 20th anniversary. Beginning with Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution, the franchise's films were to be distributed worldwide on Netflix. Secrets of the Jungle was initially scheduled for release in December 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.
With this newly released trailer, fans finally have a glimpse of what lies in store for Ash and Pikachu in this latest adventure. From what was shown in the trailer, it seems that Pokémon: Secrets of the Jungle will offer fans a unique tale in the form of Koko, asking what would happen were a human was raised in the wilderness by Pokémon. Koko's unique perspective on the world would appeal to long-time fans who may be skeptical of watching another film with Ash as a lead, while younger fans will still be able to follow the young trainer on his quest to be the best like no one ever was.
