Loosely remaking the first 80 episodes of the original series, Pokémon the Movie 20: I Choose You! is swapping out Brock and Misty for two new characters called Souji and Makoto.
Although Ash Ketchum will still be the focus characters, both long-term traveling companions Brock and Misty will not be returning.
Other well-known characters like Professor Oak, Nurse Joy, and Gary will all be getting cameos in Pokémon the Movie 20: I Choose You!, but is that really enough?
As Pokémon prepares to retell its “Indigo League Saga” for the 21st Century, creators of the anime movie have decided to retcon two major human characters.
