Ryoma Takeuchi comment
When I saw the movie, I was surprised that the Pokémon really seemed to be alive, and as a fan of the Pokémon generation, I was happy to see this worldview expressed in the movie.
Lime City, where the movie takes place, is full of Pokémon, and I was so excited to see such a realistic and dreamlike world that I would like to visit if such a town existed!
Dubbing, which is my first challenge, is much more difficult than I imagined, but it's a lot of fun. I will try to make sure that every single act of Justice's is carefully performed so that it links with Tim's character!
Tim is a young man with a complex and has trouble being honest about everything. I hope you will pay attention to the story of his growth.

Lucy (Kathryn Newton) / dubbed by Marie Iide
Lucy is a rookie reporter who is on the trail of a mysterious incident in Lime City. She can't leave Tim alone.

Comment by Marie Iide
I have loved "Pokemon" ever since I was in elementary school, and I still watch the Pokemon movies whenever I have time. Moreover, I happened to be watching the trailer for this movie when I got the call...!　I was so surprised and surprised by fate!
This is the first time for me to breathe life into a live-action film, so I often find it difficult, but I hope I can enjoy it because it is a really interesting film with exciting, funny, mysterious, and various developments!
Right now, my partner, Kodak, is so cute that I can't help but do my best with him!

I'm really looking forward to having fun with him!
