Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles Hits Netflix September 23rd

The Pokémon Company has announced that the animated special Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles will be available to watch worldwide (except Asia) exclusively via Netflix on September 23rd.

Inspired by the popular Pokémon Legends: Arceus video game, the special follows Ash, his Pikachu, and friends as they adventure and explore the Sinnoh region.

Those attending the Pokémon World Championships, which will take place from August 18th to 21st, will be able to catch the English premiere on August 19th. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

When Ash, Pikachu, and friends receive a mysterious message from the Mythical Pokémon Arceus, they meet up with their old friend Brock and head to Mount Coronet to investigate. There, they find a rampaging Heatran and the group responsible—Team Galactic, previously thought to be dismantled. The team’s commanders are determined to find their missing leader by opening a gate between dimensions. With a trio of Legendary Pokémon and Sinnoh Champion Cynthia on their side, our heroes have a lot of help, but they’ll need all they can get to save Sinnoh!

As a huge Pokémon fan, especially of Generation 4 and the Sinnoh region, I’m genuinely looking forward to the release of Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles when it hits Netflix on September 23rd. I’m actually attending the Pokémon World Championships this week, so I may be lucky enough to catch the premiere.
