Pokémon: Wild Card announced, teaser debuts

moviesAug 31, 202632614

Pokémon: Wild Card was unveiled during the 2026 Pokémon World Championship closing ceremony with a teaser and a 2027 release window, marking the franchise's first theatrical anime film in several years. The story follows a Pokémon Trading Card Game player and their partner Mimikyu as they chase championship dreams, and the trailer spotlights moments of competitive play and a poignant bond between player and Pokémon. Announcements name Katsuhiko Kitada as director, Akemi Hayashi on character design, and CloverWorks and STORY inc. as the animation and production teams, which has sharpened attention on Mimikyu’s prominent role and speculation that the film will introduce new developments for the character.

Scalpers are going to buy out the tickets

I'd say that I hope the moral of the movie is to not scalp cards so that kids can actually enjoy collecting and playing with them, but I don't think the average scalper would have the cognitive ability to understand that

They missed the mark on this one. The film needs to be about a middle aged guy who follows fed ex drivers around to Target stores. Then goes home to alternate between Facebook and reddit complaining about the other people doing exactly what hes doing.

cloverworks on animation and the director and character designer both previously worked on evangelion 2.0. we might be in good hands

The protag better walk into a store and only find empty shelves with the antagonist walking out with a case of booster boxes, make sure its authentic.

I’ve always found it odd that there hasn’t been more integration of the Pokémon TCG with the rest of the franchise, so this is kind of cool. I would love it if a mainline game had collecting TCG cards and playing against NPCs as a side quest/mini game.

LEAK: The Pokemon TCG movie is about an underemployed 25-year-old man who lost all his money on sports betting and spends his spare time loitering in front of the Pokemon vending machine at Stop & Shop

Hey this has Evangelion Rebuild animation talent handling directing and character design so that's pretty sick

A TCG Movie? I'm curiously seated for this, just to see if it's adapting the world of the TCG or if it's a YGO thing where the whole world revolves around a children's card game

TCG animated feature is wild. I wonder if this will be set in the same world as the Gameboy game??? Also how do you have a partner Pokémon in TCG? 🤔 Or is he playing TCG in a Pokémon world?

Crazy how the first Pokémon movie in 7 years is based on the TCG, I genuinely can't believe how popular Pokémon TCG has gotten in just the last couple of years It can't be just the speculative bubble, right? 🤔

We've been after a new Pokémon movie for ages. Kinda weird to get Pokémon: Wild Card instead of anything Horizons based, but not sure what to fully make of it yet.
