Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! (Japanese: 劇場版ポケットモンスター キミにきめた! Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You!; officially known as Pokémon the Movie 20: I choose you! in Japan) is the twentieth Pokémon movie overall. It premiered with Japanese vocals and French subtitles at Japan Expo on July 6, 2017. It was released in Japan on July 15, 2017, and received a limited release in North American, South American, and European theaters starting on November 5, 2017, and in Australia and New Zealand starting on November 11, 2017.

Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, is 10 years old, which means he’s now old enough to become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash dreams big about the adventures he will experience after receiving his first Pokémon from Professor Oak... Yet, on the morning of his birthday, he sleeps in and is late at the Professor’s laboratory. Unfortunately, almost all the Pokémon are already gone. The only one left is Pikachu, and he doesn’t seem to like Ash much. ("You don’t like me?" Ash asks. "I like you a lot!") But the bond between the two will get stronger and stronger, and, on the first day of their journey, they see the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh fly over them and they find one of its feathers. Then Ash and Pikachu promise each other: "Someday, we will set on a journey to find this Pokémon!"
In their journey to achieve Ash’s dream of becoming a Pokémon Master, he meets other Trainers, Sorrel and Verity, and Ash hears for the first time about Ho-Oh’s legend: "The rainbow feather will show you the way to Ho-Oh, and the one to follow it will become the Hero of the Legend." Followed closely by the Mythical Pokémon Marshadow, Ash goes to Mount Tensei to fight his powerful rival. Will Ash and Pikachu reach the top of the mountain and honor the promise they made when starting their journey? The adventure only begins!

A short promotion manga was included with the May 2017 issue of CoroCoro. Another tie-in manga called Get Fired Up, Marshadow! was included with the July 2017 issue of CoroCoro, this manga takes place before Marshadow meets Ash and his friends in the movie. An third manga called The Rainbow Hero was included with the August 2017 issue of CoroCoro. These three promotion manga were collected into Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You!

Trivia
- This is the first Pokémon movie not to take place during the timeframe of the anime series airing at the time, although the one-shot manga indicates it was a flashback that occurred after Ash won the final trial with Pikachu.
- Because of this, this is also the first movie to feature no human characters introduced in the anime series airing at the time of the movie.
- As of this movie, all of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from Generation II have had a starring role in a Pokémon movie.
- This is Professor Oak's first appearance in a movie since the fourth movie and Delia's first movie appearance since the eleventh movie.
- This is the first movie to feature a Pokémon release, with Ash releasing his Butterfree after saving the Pink Butterfree.
- This is Gary's first physical appearance since The Battle Finale of Legend!, over seven years ago.
- Movie editor Kunihiko Yuyama revealed some trivia about the movie in an interview:
- The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh.
- The number of Spearow that chase Ash was increased twenty-fold, from fifty to one thousand.
- The Ash in this movie is more fashionable than the Ash from the series and influenced by the design created by Ken Sugimori.
- Shōko Nakagawa was responsible for being the symbol of twenty years of Pokémon, with the role of Nurse Joy. She grew up playing the first generation of games, which is why she represents Pokémon 20th Anniversary by voice acting an "older sister" kind of role in the movie.
- Ash does not age. Yuyama said that "time has not passed since the start of the journey. Ash is eternally 10 years old".
- The Trainers from the opening scene are Neesha and Corey from Mewtwo Strikes Back.
- This movie features all of Ash's traveling companions prior to the Sun & Moon series making cameo appearances during the ending credits, making it the largest amount of appearances of Ash's friends to date.
- Although Pikachu has had his statements translated via subtitles before, this is the first time Pikachu actually talked.
- For the dub, this is the first movie that Kayzie Rogers had no part in voice acting in. She had been voice acting for the last 19 movies until her retirement earlier in 2017.
- This was the first movie to be in 4K (Specifically Sony Pictures 4K) quality due to the fact it was shown in theaters in the USA. However, Disney XD will likely air it in 1080p instead when it airs.
- This is the fourth movie in which Ash temporarily dies.
- This movie marks the first time the anime has shown a dead Pokémon (Luxray) which wasn't later revived in some form.
Differences from the main series
- Cross is Charmander's original Trainer instead of Damian.
- Brock and Misty do not appear except in cameos.
- In the beginning of the film, Ash is watching a battle between Neesha and Corey on TV instead of the two unidentified Trainers from the first episode.
- Ash is watching the battle in his whole outfit in the original episode, but in the movie, he is just wearing his t-shirt and pants without his hat, jacket, or gloves.
- The Pokémon-themed merchandise in Ash's room are completely different.
- The poster of the Kanto starter Pokémon in Ash's room are displayed differently with Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur being in different poses and positions. The background of the poster is slightly different as well.
- Delia wakes Ash up instead of Ash waking himself up.
- Ash runs to Professor Oak's lab barefoot with his pajamas, unlike the original episode where he is wearing shoes with his pajamas.
- Gary only makes a brief cameo in the beginning of the film. His cheerleaders don't make an appearance in the film either, nor do his crowd of supporters.
- The Pokémon weren't in their Poké Balls sitting on a pedestal like in the original episode. Instead, they were displayed on a tray with beds and bowls for each of the starters before the new Trainers picked them out.
- The Trainers who received their starter Pokémon from Professor Oak on the day Ash met Pikachu are shown as Gary, Tierno, and Marina. Notably, Tierno is shown in different clothing than his usual design and chooses Charmander instead of Squirtle.
- A map of the Unova region is visible in the background of a scene at Professor Oak's Laboratory.
- Ash and Pikachu's first encounter is different from the series. In the main series, Professor Oak sends out Pikachu from his Poké Ball. In the movie, Pikachu was already wandering around in Professor Oak's lab before Ash finds him.
- Delia never enters Professor Oak's lab in the original episode. Also, Delia arrives alone, while in the episode, a group of supporters arrived to see Ash off.
- Ash changes into his clothes in Oak's lab instead of changing shortly after setting out on his journey.
- When Ash is dragging Pikachu out of Pallet Town, he isn't wearing pink rubber gloves, as he wasn't given any rubber gloves in the movie.
- As noted above, the number of Spearow that attack Ash and Pikachu are greatly increased.
- Ash doesn't steal Misty's (or anyone's) bike to escape the flock of Spearow, and tries to get away entirely on foot.
- After Pikachu defeats the flock of Spearow, the sky is sunny again after the rain clears up in the original episode. In the movie, it's a sunset instead.
- Ash doesn't get a Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh in the original episode.
- Erika was the third Gym Leader encountered rather then the fifth one, while the first two Gym Leaders were encountered off-screen.
- Ash doesn't catch any of his Pokémon from the main series other than Caterpie and Charmander.
- Ash uses Pikachu to battle Caterpie before catching it, unlike I’m the original series where Ash just catches Caterpie without weakening it.
- Charmander isn't holding a leaf while being in the rain, nor is he attacked by a flock of Spearow.
- Instead of taking Charmander to Nurse Joy, Ash takes him to a cave to heal him himself.
- Ash's Pokémon evolve in scenarios different from the original series:
- Caterpie evolves into Metapod from battling a Pinsir rather than from a battle against Team Rocket and then evolves into Butterfree during a fight with a pack of Primeape instead of a swarm of Beedrill.
- In the original series, Caterpie's Evolution process was similar to a real-life caterpillar's life cycle, going through metamorphosis and then emerging from its cocoon. In the movie, it is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon similar to how they do in later episodes.
- Charmander evolves into a Charmeleon from battling a Jigglypuff instead of stopping a herd of Exeggutor and then evolves into a Charizard during a rematch against Cross and his Incineroar instead of saving Ash from a Aerodactyl.
- Caterpie evolves into Metapod from battling a Pinsir rather than from a battle against Team Rocket and then evolves into Butterfree during a fight with a pack of Primeape instead of a swarm of Beedrill.
- Charmeleon (and later Charizard) consistently stays obedient to Ash after evolving. In the main series, Charizard rarely obeyed Ash until Charizard Chills.
- Pikachu knows Iron Tail, a move he doesn't learn until the Advanced Generation series.
