It was released in Japan on July 10, 2010. The movie's fictitious setting is based on various locations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Among the locations they visited and that have been used as inspiration for the movie were the Magere Brug, Amstel River, Kinderdijk, and Brussels.

A new Pokémon was announced in February on both Pokémon Sunday[3] and the March 2010 issue of CoroCoro Comic[4] stated to be a central Pokémon to the plot of the film. On February 15, 2010, this character was revealed to be the new Dark-type Pokémon Zoroark (ゾロアーク, Zoroāku), which evolves from another Pokémon named Zorua (ゾロア, Zoroa), both of which will appear in the film.[5][6] As a promotion for this movie, in Japan everyone who preorders their tickets to the movie get to download a special alternate-colored version of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, which when traded over to the upcoming Pokémon Black and White games activates an in game encounter with a special Zoroark that uses its Illusion ability to transform into the legendary Pokémon with a type advantage to the transferred one. In addition, people who attend a theatrical presentation of the film in Japan will be able to download a special Celebi to their video game, which when transferred to Black or White will activate an encounter with a special Zorua.[7]
