What is the title of the 2019 CGI remake of Pokémon: The First Movie?

The 2019 CGI remake of Pokémon: The First Movie is titled Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution.

The film retells the story of the original 1998 movie, including Mewtwo’s creation, the invitation to New Island, and the confrontation between cloned and naturally born Pokémon. It was directed by Kunihiko Yuyama and Motonori Sakakibara and animated using computer-generated imagery.

The remake was released theatrically in Japan on July 12, 2019. Unlike the hand-drawn style of the original, Evolution uses 3D computer animation to present the characters and battle scenes. The plot remains closely connected to the first movie, making it a remake rather than a new chapter in the story.

The film later became the first Pokémon movie to premiere internationally as a Netflix Original Movie. Its worldwide streaming release took place on February 27, 2020, Pokémon Day, outside selected territories.
