Now I'm not expert on Pokemon movies so Im going to need help with this. When are the OFFICIAL movie posters usually revealed? I read somewhere that they are revealed around March (might be totally wrong there..) but lets say it is March. If the official movie poster will be released then, won't Kyurem's new forme need to be revealed by that point so it's new forme can be on the cover?

Like I said, Im not an expert on Pokemon movies and posters so I may be totally wrong there lol but its just a thought that came to mind.

^ Thats a good question actually... It could be in March-April, dunno for sure I'll let somebody else with more history about it answer that.

As for Meloetta/Genesect I've said it once and I'll say it again they are not individually important enough to have their own separate movies. A Meloetta standalone movie would have to be some kind of musical or something for instance, a Genesect alone movie alone I admit has alot more plot potential though, but they would to have to try hard with just Genesect in said movie... (Sounds too similar to a another Pokemon as well)

But why bother when they can be handled together? Which is more logical, and also this Generation will very likely be closed in 2013. If people haven't noticed, the pacing of the BW anime is much faster. Ash will have likely obtained all Gym Badges & on his way to the league by at least this year.

So there is really no need nor indication to stretch this gen out. It happened on the same system as 4th gen, and Grey will likely be on the Nintendo DS as well to finish off the gen. With the 3DS out and taking over from the DS, and Wii U on the horizen, Nintendo are not going to stretch out gen 5 on the DS.

You do realize that a filler saga like the Orange Islands solves the problem of having a stand-alone film of Meloetta and Dennis respectively.

Thats assuming they even do one, and if they did it would likely be on Eastern Unova, which shouldn't take that long honestly. However, I don't understand why people assume that this gen has to be as long as the last one.

Also, there is the issue of said gen being on the DS while the 3DS is gaining speed. They aren't going to switch over in the middle of a gen, nor are they going to drag out Pokemon on the DS.

It seems to me like late 2013 will see the arrival of Gen 6 IMO, and switch over of Pokemon to the 3DS.

I remember on one article from MyNintendoNews saying that the DS and 3DS will co-exist on the market, so it may still continue.

There's one slight problem with ending Gen V at Gray on the DS while Meloetta and Genesect share a movie:

2013's movie would belong to a Gen 6 Pokemon + Jirachi/Deoxys, not Meloetta and Genesect. There isn't enough room for four vastly different stars. Either Gen 5 isn't ending with Gray, or Meloetta/Genesect doesn't get a movie while the other serves as the Jirachi/Deoxys equivalent for M16.

Okay. I'm going to throw this thread in another direction: Does anyone notice the lightning and fire in the lower left corner of the picture?

Assuming Hoenn even gets remakes for this gen, or at all for that matter, I'd rather if they do it will be in gen 6. Also why Jirachi/Deoxys? If Hoenn ever gets remakes its more likely to assume the starters than two previous movie stars. Though we have deviated far from poor little Pony and thread.

As for the Fire/Lightning, I honestly can't see it all too well from where its coming from. Maybe someone with a clearer image who has the magazine can evaluate what it is. Its possible that Reshiram/Zekrom could appear for the movie in some way, (minor) since this movie is speculated to have Kyurem's alternate forme.

They're usually revealed around early March with a new trailer, but in 2008 and 2011 we got the posters in February, so it may even happen tomorrow when the movie website is updated. However, I would not say that Kyurem's Forme has to be included in the poster, considering that Sky Forme was missing from Movie 11's final poster.

I disagree with that assessment, mainly because I don't think a new Pokémon has to star in a movie to promote an upcoming generation. Zoroark may have been the star of Movie 13, but there were only two Generation V Pokémon in that movie and none in the actual DP series, so even then the pattern was broken. Next year we could have a reversed scenario where new Pokémon would debut in the movie but not star in it, with the heavier anime promotion being left for the tail end of the Best Wishes series.

I think that making Zoroark the star of Movie 13 was a bad idea in that the movie promotion led to its being event-exclusive in Black and White, even though it really shouldn't be. I can see why Game Freak would want to avoid that. I also have a theory about how Genesect might be tied to the next generation, but I won't digress into that here.

Maybe Meloetta/Genesect will be mentioned in the next movie with the trio + keldeo, it would make sense, if they were releasing a new form of Kyurem too. It'd attract popularity/interest and money. Let's not forget that this franchise + nintendo =/= money makers.

In regards to no one movie featuring more than one event Pokémon...Zoroark - Master of Illusions technically contained three event Pokémon - Celebi, Zorua and Zoroark. Remember that while we can see Zorua and Zoroark in-game and thus request them on the GTS, in order to receive them, someone would have had to have obtained the event Raikou, Entei, Suicune or Celebi and transferred them to Black and White.

While Celebi is the only one to be classed as a Mythical Pokémon, Zorua and Zoroark are still only available by event.

Here's how I see it:
The Diamond and Pearl saga of the anime was the only series so far to not feature a Pokémon of the next generation in the main series. The movie will also be released in July, while a new game would likely be released in September. Yes, while a new movie is often used for promotion, if we imagine that 2013 will see the release of Generation VI, then we could see that year's movie focusing on Meloetta and Genesect with some references to Gen VI Pokémon randomly thrown in (Like the Woobat silhouette on Karl's hat). Then, towards the end of Best Wishes, there is a really hyped 2-parter about a Generation VI Pokémon (With the way Japan have hyped things like the Battle Subway 2-parter and the Tornadus vs Thundurus vs Landorus two parter, it wouldn't surprise me at all).

Generation IV already broke one pattern in regards to the anime, so why can't Generation V?

Meloetta sharing a movie with anybody would be with Keldeo. If it is indeed based on the musketeer story like its hinted at, then it would either be here, or have its own movie. Genosect's a giant lazer wielding bug ffs, it needs its own screen time to wreck its havoc, not share its movie with a Pokemon who's special power is singing.

I'm totally pumped, I love seeing new Pokemon in the movies!
I can't wait to see Genesect too. So much cuteness packed in to one little bug! Out of all the Gev 5 legendaries Genesect deserves it's own movie.

Can't say I am surprised to see Keldeo being in the latest movie. What would be interesting is the moves it might learn to tie in to the movie, since movie Pokemon (as far as I know) usually learn something they couldn't normally learn, like the Crown Beasts learning something they couldn't learn (Entei w/ ExtremeSpeed) and Victini with V-create. It could probably, possibly mean that the other three members might learn new moves through an event.

Thanks for reading.

There's never been a movie about just one Pokémon wrecking havoc; even Mewtwo was offset by Mew in Movie 1. I can't see that changing, especially since the norm these days is to have at least three legendary Pokémon in a movie. If you mean that Meloetta wouldn't be able to take on Genesect believably, then I'd argue that she would not have to do so anymore than Shaymin (at least Land Forme) or Victini did with Giratina and Reshiram/Zekrom, respectively.

Kyurem is hardly made for a movie featuring the Musketeer quarter, and yet that's the direction chosen for the current movie. With so many legendaries it is almost impossible to give everyone screentime without resorting to odd combinations.

In Keldeo's case, I would think Sacred Sword (via the in-game event) would be enough, but the other three will probably be distributed (with exclusive moves) if only to make said event more easily accessible.

I'm more curious about the event Keldeo will be given in the new game. Having the exact same event as in Black and White would be redundant.

Keldeo looks like a deformed derp thingy...xD Big eyes, skinny long legs and huge nostrils.

On the future of the movies. Now it's when people take notice? It took Keldeo's reveal to notice there's something unpredictable on the horizon? Lol.

I'm just looking at the options. And the option I think will leave Game Freak more money is the remakes. As much as I hate the idea of those coming this generation, I see it as the more possible outcome.

So nobody be surprised if Jirachi co-stars with Meloetta or some random shit like that for the next two movies. :T

This, so much. It would've made more sense for it to star with Genesect or Meloetta. But whatever. Quantity over quality is how the anime loves to roll.


So Kyurem's new forme and Gray might not be announced until April.

What am I going to do for the next two months... :uhoh:

The same thing you've been doing since BW's announcement. Wait.

Ugh, it's taken way too long for Keldeo to finally be revealed. SHAMEFUR DISPRAY, GAME FREAK. Darkrai was unveiled less than a year after DP came out, but here we are in 2012 just finally seeing only one of the unreleased Mythical Pokemon.

If Keldeo took to long then I don't want to imagine the eternity Meloetta and Genesect will take.

KELDEO IS FREAKIN ADORABLE!!!!!!

ahem...

Doesn't it learn Secret Sword via ingame event? That should be enough for a movie tie-in, right? (like the other two event Pokemon left in this generation)

Perhaps it could be found in Challenger's Cave, as some have speculated? Though I'm not too sure about what item could be used to trigger the encounter. Maybe one of the other musketeers that might be distributed at the movie?

I don't see how that would work. Surely Keldeo is going to be directly to Black and White (the Musketeer trio would just be an added bonus, since they're required for the Iciruss Forest event) and so we'll be able to trade it to Gray. What would catching another Keldeo accomplish? There could be a separate Wi-Fi event at some point, but for the movie promotion there should be an event that involves using the movie Keldeo for something that isn't Secret Sword again. And before anyone says it, I doubt Keldeo will also be a given a Forme, seeing as the in-game data indicates that only Kyurem will get one.

Well beyond a Challenger's Cave event, I really don't know what could possibly be done with Keldeo. As you said the form data indicates it won't be getting one, and there are no more hidden moves to be learned in any events... I hate to say it, but it might be possible Keldeo won't be getting anything new in Gray. The only thing that could be done is more backstory exposition.
