Production Background

Gekijouban Pocket Monsters: Celebi Toki wo Koeta Deai is a Japanese manga adaptation that follows the plot of the fourth Pokémon film. Its source is classified as “Other,” rather than a novel, game, or another listed source category.

The manga began publication in May 2001 and is marked finished. The supplied record does not identify a creator, publisher, studio, or further release details for this individual work.

Franchise Context

Gekijouban Pocket Monsters: Celebi Toki wo Koeta Deai is a finished manga entry in the broader Pokémon franchise. Released in 2001, it is not the franchise’s starting point or a separate original storyline. Instead, its role is that of a manga adaptation connected directly to the series’ fourth theatrical Pokémon film.

This entry should therefore be distinguished from the film itself and from the franchise’s television, game, and other manga works. It presents the film’s narrative in manga form rather than functioning as a remake, sequel, spin-off, or alternate continuity. The title is also known in English-language listings as Pocket Monsters: Celebi: A Timeless Encounter and Pokémon 4: Celebi: A Timeless Encounter, identifying it as the manga counterpart to that film installment.
