posted on by Jennifer Sherman
After partnering with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable and Attack on Titan last month, video communication app SNOW is celebrating the Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! film's release with new stamps.
In addition to being able to appear with Ash's Pikachu from the film (pictured above), the app's users can themselves transform into Pikachu or Meowth. A second stamp set will debut on July 7 and let users become Ash to recreate a scene from the film.
While using the stamps, special effects appear with the stamps when users open and move their mouths. The new collaboration's stamps will be available until August 31.
The upcoming film's plot tells the story of how Ash (Satoshi) and Pikachu came to know each other. Pikachu was not cooperative toward Ash, but Ash only wanted to be friends with Pikachu. On the day they set out from Pallet Town (Masara Town), both of them saw a Ho-oh flying and made a vow to someday go and meet it.
This year's new Pokémon film, titled Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! (Gekijōban Pocket Monster: Kimi ni Kimeta!), will open in Japan on July 15. The anime film is the 20th in the franchise. "Pokémon! Kimi ni Kimeta!" is the title of the Pokémon anime's first episode from 1997.
