Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution remakes the Pokémon franchise’s first film in full CG, and the trailer shows Ash and pals like we’ve never seen them before.

Yuji Naka stopped by his old workplace with his kids, but the other people he ran into weren’t necessarily Sega fans.
The wait is over, as the new setting and starter Pokémon for the first all-new Pokémon game for a top-of-the-line Nintendo system are revealed!
There are going to be tons of Pokémon in the film but it’s still a little weird hearing Pikachu cuss.
Pokémon fashion comes to Harajuku, and we’ve got a massive photo preview to help you decide how to customize your dress shirt.
Mail-order fashion company opens Harajuku showroom so fans can see the shirts before they buy, and also offers in-store exclusive patterns.
This huge plush ferret is so gigantic you might have to have someone else hold it up while you hug it.
Organizers hint that the beloved anime/video game franchise’s mascot himself might make an appearance on your special day.
Japanese fashion label also shares videos showing the ridiculously huge number of customization options that ensure your shirt won’t look exactly like any other Pokémon fan’s.
Treat yourself or a friend to one of these exquisitely crafted necklaces and become Poké-pretty.
Wearing a suit to the office isn’t so bad when you’ve got Pikachu, Eevee, and your other Pokémon pals with you.
The wait is over, and the capsule toy feline fashions are now being modeled by Japan’s cats.
Relax your body and improve your Poké-knowledge at the same time.
Korean and Chinese netizens demand apologies from the company for tweeting about the controversial shrine.
Perhaps they would do well to stick to monster catching instead of probing into people’s personal lives.
Pocket monsters Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur also join in the fun for this hugely popular collection.
