Streaming service Netflix has released a trailer for the new animated film “Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution” in English.
The cartoon will tell the popular story of how a group of scientists created the destructive Pokémon Mewtwo from the cute Mew. The plot will center on the familiar Ash Ketchum and his friends Misty and Brock. The trailer also showed the full Team Rocket, as well as Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charizard and other Pokémon.
