It’s been quiet on the Pokémon Sun and Moon front after the release of the games but with the annual Pokémon movie coming to Japan soon, Sun and Moon players should expect a Pokémon distribution event to coincide with the movie’s release.
PokeShopper has found leaked images of upcoming Pikachu plushes wearing different hats Ash has worn in the anime, which will be produced alongside the upcoming movie.
Here’s the tweet with the Ash-Pikachu plushes.
When the Sun and Moon demo was first released, dataminers uncovered many of the game’s secrets, which included sprites of Pikachu wearing the same hats as the image above.
Many Pokémon fans wondered how the Ash-Hat Pikachu would be included in the game and from the looks of the official Pikachu plushes going on sale alongside the Pokémon film, it would not be a stretch to believe trainers will receive one (if not all) of the Ash-Hat Pikachu.
The upcoming Pokémon movie will premiere in Japan in July, so we won’t learn more about the upcoming film until closer to the premiere date. We do know that this movie, titled Pokémon - I Choose You, will celebrate the franchise’s 20th anniversary and may even focus on Ho-Oh.
We’ll bring you further details on this development as we learn more, but keep checking back with iDigitalTimes for all of your Pokémon news and updates.
