In lieu of the previous news story posted here, a second 13th movie advertisement specifically mentions that new Pokemon will be in The Master of Illusion: Z. The advertisement, which is for a “Pokemon Seal Battle Piece Collection DP 2010 set,” lists the names of Pokemon that will be released in sets of stickers (”seals”). The ad lists the names of the Pokemon to be included in each sticker set, and at the end of each bullet point, it says, “plus a newly-created Pokemon that’s introduced in the movie.”

Additionally, under Piplup’s image above the list, the advertisement states, “The Pokemon (plural) introduced in 2010’s Master of Illusion: Z are in the (sticker) lineup.” This of course implies that more than one new Pokemon (or Pokemon Forme) will be shown for the first time in the movie!

It is important to note that Giratina’s Origin Forme and Shaymin’s Sky Forme were originally codenamed “new Pokemon” in advertisements, meaning it’s possible that these Pokemon could be new Formes as opposed to brand new Pokemon. Thanks go to Frugrow for the image and Bangiras for translating! All of the evidence now points to there being new Pokemon in the movie!

* Capsule 1 Master Ball (Entei, Tangrowth, Ninjask, plus a newly-created Pokemon that’s introduced in the movie)
* Capsule 2 Hyper Ball (Suicune, Piplup, Croagunk, Shuppet, plus a newly-created Pokemon that’s introduced in the movie)
* Capsule 3 Super Ball (Pikachu, Raikou, Happiny, Bronzor, plus a newly-created Pokemon that’s introduced in the movie)
* Capsule 4 Monster Ball (Celebi, Mismagius, Mightyena, Togekiss, plus a newly-created Pokemon that’s introduced in the movie)
* Capsule 5 Monster Ball (Celebi, Torterra, Scizor, Infernape, plus a newly-created Pokemon that’s introduced in the movie)

Not so surprising. It makes more sense that they'd be new Pokemon anyway, not just new formes because I can't really see there being any more main games in this Gen.

[Tyranitar trainer]

Surely it doesn't matter if they're new pokemon or not because there going to have to make a new game anyway because the codes for HG/SS and there was no new formes

It does though. If they're new formes a new game in this Gen would probably be released and it doesn't seem likely that there would be any new games for the current Gen. Of course new Pokemon would signal the Fifth Gen.

I dont know if this is new news or what but its possible that the Australian release date for HeartGold and SoulSilver is 1st march which i saw on a retail website.

That would be neat, I know Korea gets them next month and the US in late March. Do you have a source so we can see for ourselves?

Retail websites are, by and large, worthless when it comes to release dates. Forget you even saw it and wait until a source that means something gives you the information.

If true, I'm glad they've decided to pack it with the games, but would the price stay the same?

Daisuke club in America! Also yes the site did update in the most ridiculous fashion.

[Chimchar15]

Wow new Pokemon.com. Well its not horrible, and it was about time that they updated.

[mitchman_93]

Its been that way since 2006. I think.

[KnightofTime]

I checked the pokemon website and the website got a huge make over. Also, the news confirms the pokewalker is to be packaged in the english versions of HGSS.

And the site now says the release date is "2010" and not March 14 2010.

I thought the box arts we got in December confirmed this...

[Mr.Brightside]

And the site now says the release date is "2010" and not March 14 2010.

Huh? The date is there.

[HookShot]

And the site now says the release date is "2010" and not March 14 2010.

From the Pokewalker article:

A slew of new features have been revealed for Pokémon™ HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, coming to Nintendo DS™ systems on March 14th!

So the date's still the same. March 14th.
