'''Pokémon Movies''' or '''Pikachu the Movies''' are animated films set in the ''Pokémon'' universe. There are currently fifteen dubbed Pokémon movies and one undubbed and yet to be released. The Pokémon movies don't seem to be a part of the actual canon at some times, but at others they are intertwined. Below is a list of the Pokémon movies and the shorts that go with them.

'''Pokémon Movies''' or '''Pikachu the Movies''' are films centering on ''Pokémon''. There are currently a total of twenty-three Pokémon movies released. Almost all of the Pokémon movies are all canon to the anime. ''[[MS020: Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]'', ''[[MS021: Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us]]'' and ''[[MS022: Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution|MS022: Pokemon the Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution]], [[Pokémon: Detective Pikachu|Pokémon: Detective Pikachu,]] [[MS023: Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle]]'' are non-canon to the TV series ([[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon (series)|''Sun and Moon'']] and [[Pokémon Journeys: The Series (series)|''Journeys'']]). However, Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution is a remake of the first movie, ''[[MS001: Pokémon: The First Movie]]'' and can be watched instead of the original when watching through the franchise.

Pikachu the Movie

Pikachu the Movie Logo.

Pokémon Movies or Pikachu the Movies are films centering on Pokémon. There are currently a total of twenty-three Pokémon movies released. Almost all of the Pokémon movies are all canon to the anime. MS020: Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, MS021: Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us and MS022: Pokemon the Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, MS023: Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle are non-canon to the TV series (Sun and Moon and Journeys). However, Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution is a remake of the first movie, MS001: Pokémon: The First Movie and can be watched instead of the original when watching through the franchise.

New movies are released each year during the summer in July and they are released at varied times of the year in the dub. Below is a list of the Pokémon movies and the shorts that go with them.
