I wonder why that movie.

I wonder why that movie.

Hoopa Movie, I suppose.

Eh?...

 

[Nicolas721]

Does that mean we could get an episode on January 4th without a New Year break?

I wonder why that movie.

Likely because it's the most recent movie with a run time of 70 minutes.

What about M19?

 

[Nicolas721]

What about M19?

It has a runtime of 90 minutes.

What I'm interested in is there's a preview of upcoming episodes.

Does that mean we could get an episode on January 4th without a New Year break?

Actually, they're getting that week off

 

[Hassel]

Last year we got preview clips for the Totem and Hala's Grand Trial episodes, didn't we? I hope there's exciting stuff for this January too.

Here is a summary for the episode, which Dephender translated.

We are going to air a TV special where you'll get to see both the movie that became a blockbuster in 2015, Pokémon the Movie XY - "The Archdjinni of the Rings: Hoopa", and its co-feature, "Pikachu and the Pokémon Band", together!

And we won't just show the movies, we'll also have lots of information on the TV anime series "Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon"! We'll of course show you funny scenes from the episodes that have aired thus far, but also wonderful clips from material scheduled to be shown next year! Everything will be brought to you from the living room of "Meet Up at the Pokémon House?"! And of course, the Pokénchi residents will be present as well. Make sure not to miss this special!!

Airdate/time:
Thursday December 28th, 7:05am to 9am
*This special will also air on TV Hokkaido, TV Osaka and TV Setouchi

Hosts:
Shoko Nakagawa, Hyadain, Abareru-kun and Rinka Otani

Oh boy, a highlight reel of Sun & Moon's "comedy"

That outta be good

So if they're showing the movie and its special... they could have shown any movie. And yet... they chose this one. WHY?!?!?!

Anyway, here's hoping for a decent 3 minutes of preview footage - after all, that's what we're all here for.

Because you can find all of the Legendary Pokémon featured in the movie in the newest Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon. "Please go buy our games right after this broadcast."

Good to know they consider Hoopa and the Clash of Ages a blockbuster. And I hope there are some Ultra Beasts in the clip showing scenes from the next batch of episodes. Writers, I beg of you, no Rainbow Rocket please. That was an embarrassment even in the source material.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

"Blockbuster."

F**k off lads, didn't the movie do terrible at the box office?

 

[Flynn]

Compared to past pokemon films, yes. Compared to other films at the box office in 2015, no.

 

[SammyW27]

^ Yeah. None of the PokeMovies have ever really "flopped" or "bombed" per say. More like they simply "under performed" or "disappointed" . (Usually the last movie of the generation)

My wild and crazy prediction for this event that has 0 reasoning behind it and a very small possibility of happening: another old character cameo will be announced. My guess is Haruka and Masato bc chronology but it could be just about anyone.
