The film will be directed by Kunihiko Yuyama and Motonori Sakakibara, with screenplay by Takeshi Shudo, but no plot details, trailers, or the like have been released just yet. The previous two movies mentioned above also released in Japan in July, followed by November releases in North America and Europe &#8211; we&#8217;d therefore expect a November 2019 western release here, too.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you been enjoying the recent alternate Pok\u00e9mon movies?
