Mewtwo Strikes Back explores the origins of the legendary Pokemon Mewtwo. The film deals heavily with the themes of genetic manipulation and the repercussions of cloning. Unfortunately, none of those make for a compelling movie as seen in IGN's review of the Japanese premiere.“Netflix is the ideal platform to help us execute a global simultaneous launch of an animated Pokemon movie on Pokemon Day, a special moment dedicated to celebrating the worldwide Pokemon fan community,” The Pokemon Company said in a statement.
You can watch the differences between the CGI version and the original above. While there are scenes that are remade from the 1998 film, there also looks to be some new scenes as well.
The last Pokemon game released was Pokemon Sword and Shield which IGN reviewed here. For more, check out IGN’s Pokemon Sword and Shield guide for walkthroughs, tips, and helpful hints. Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN. You can reach him on Twitter.
