Movie 16 - ExtremeSpeed Genesect & The Awakening of Mewtwo - FIRST DETAILS

[JD]

um no it's not. There is no such thing as 6th gen and game freak haven't announced anything about future games. Right now a "new" pokemon isn't the most likely, an old one is just as likely until we find out more.

Yes it is.. I don't think anyone expected Lucario or Munchlax back in their respective movies especially since Diamond and Pearl didn't come out until two years after Munchlax's reveal. No one expected Zoroark people thought it would be Ho Oh or Lugia.. a Gen VI Pokemon has a higher chance of appearing than an older Pokemon since Best Wishes will be close to wrapping up next summer

No matter what anyone says, a new pokemon is not the most likely thing until we have more info.

No matter what anyone says, a new pokemon is not the most likely thing until we have more info.

Most movies that are at the end of a series run, which at this point you can't deny considering each 'hidden' legendary has been promoted, feature either something new, or a combination of something new and old:

- OS - Kanto, after Mew was done: Lugia, Marill, and Snubbull.
- OS - Johto, after Celebi was done in the movie: Latios, Latias and Wailmer. Of course there were Kecleon and Blaziken as well, but not in movies.
- AG, after Jirachi and Deoxys were done, and during even: Munchlax, followed by Lucario, Weavile and the MimeJr/Bonsly pair, and then Manaphy, Chatot, Buizel and Mantyke.
- DPt, after Arceus was revealed: Zorua and Zoroark, Woobat was 'lampshaded' as a character had a hat with a bat-design on it with a heart in the middle.
- BW, now that Genesect has been revealed:

If anything, then it is most likely. Sure, a mix of old legendaries can partake in this movie as well, just like how Celebi and Entei, Raikou, and Suicune were present in the 13th movie, but going on past expectancies, new pokemon are likely to show in this new movie. Even if it is just the third movie, proven by AG.

Oha Suta has done trailer reveals and everything but it has never pre-empted the first movie information. Edit: Scratch that, they did with Kyurem last year)

I'll keep an ear out

On what days does Oha Suta air?

I think that a new pokemon will be in movie, being the main star or later in the promotion on it. New generation pokemon has historically first appeared in a the movie and in second place, the anime.

This is the new generation pokemon that has appeared in the anime/movie by debut:
Gen II:Hoothoot (Pikachu short 2), Ledyba (Pikachu short 2), Togepi (EP050; Hatched from Egg that Misty obtained), Bellosoom (Pikachu short 2), Marill (Pikachu short 1; EP089, owned by Tracey), Slowking (Movie 2), Snubbull (Pikachu short 1), Donphan (Movie 1), Elekid (Pikachu Short 2), Lugia (Movie 2).
Gen III: Blakizen (EP267, Owned by Harrison), Zigzagoon (photo)*, Lotad (photo)*, Seedot (photo)*, Wingull (EP276), Pelipper (EP276), Shroomish (photo)*, Azurill (Pikachu short 4), Volbeat (Pikachu short 5), Sharpedo (photo)*, Wailmer (Pikachu short 4, Movie 5), Kecleon (EP207), Duskull (Pikachu Short 5), Wynaut (EP254), Latias (movie 5), Latios (movie 5).
*Photo: From a photo given by Harrison in EP274
Gen IV: Buizel (Movie 9), Bonsly (Movie 8, Owned by Brock), Mime Jr. (Movie 8, Owned by James), Chatot (movie 9, anime), Munchlax (Movie 7, owned by May), Lucario (Movie 8), Mantyke (Movie 9), Weavile (movie 8, anime), Electivire (AG192, Owned by Gary), Manaphy (Movie 9).
Gen V: Zorua (movie 13), Zoroark (movie 13).

And I know, I will troll hard if a new Pokemon is revealed and a new game is released but it's for the actual Gen V and that Gen VI is for the next year.

This is it. I'm guessing in a months time finding out whether Mewtwo is in this movie or not is a major possiblity.

Please. Anime writers if their is one wish i have wanted to see the most during your 15 years it is this. Make it happen.

- OS - Johto, after Celebi was done in the movie: Latios, Latias and Wailmer. Of course there were Kecleon (...) as well, but not in movies.

It appeared in the movie 4 short.

Sadly, the idea of Mewtwo fighting Genesect is just too epic and amazing for the animé writers to use.

Instead, watch what should be the most vicious hunter ever be pussified and on the run from a bland, one-dimensional human villain (with no mention of Mewtwo at all) coming to theaters Summer 2013!

I would have preferred if they never banned postponed the entire TR vs TP arc that the whole idea of a battle between Mewtwo and Genesect could be used there instead.

Are we forgetting the possibilities of an RSE remake? Maybe Kyogre and Groudon will make an appearance in this movie, and save the 6th generation Pokemon for 2014's movie with Jirachi.

That would be kind of hard to pull off, seeing as Team Rocket doesn't even remember Mewtwo, it wants nothing to do with them, and Team Plasma wants nothing to do with Genesect. But then again in the latter case, the movies aren't obliged to 100% follow what's in the games and Mewtwo could willingly get involved in the situation because of seeing a bit of itself in Genesect I guess.

Deoxys' movie didn't have Kanto legendaries to coincide with FRLG, and Arceus' movie didn't have Johto legendaries to coincide with HGSS...

If they wanted to do RSE remakes this gen, it should have been this year for the 10th anniversary. That would have allowed BW2 to be pushed back to next year and tie-in very nicely with this movie.

Instead, we get a Groudon/Kyogre event. That may not even make it outside of Japan. Happy 10 years, Gen III!

[Ciccone]

So we have an announcement about an announcement? Cool. I'm glad that we're finally getting some details about this movie, but I don't expect to have the entire plot explained to us just yet. They usually save the important details for February/March, then they continue building things up until July when the new movie comes out. It's the same pattern every year.

The johto starters were in the Arceus movie. Blastoise was in the Deoxys movie but that doesn't really count.

Starters with arbitrary cameos aren't exactly comparable to legendaries that affect the plot and are the center of attention.

[Locormus]

Even better! :P

Oh well, GenIII was crap anyway.. Abilities were a nice addition, but I honestly still think that the Physical/Special-split has been a better addition and something that I had been begging for since having played red.

Yup.. And it's never gonna change..

Starters with arbitrary cameos will get more plush-profit then legendaries that barely effect the plot..

I dunno, I think R/S/E have been getting more love lately. Otherwise we wouldn't be asking for Gen III remakes on the 3DS. Also, were it not for abilities, useless Pokémon (e.g. Azumaril) would never become useful.

[Bushido Bob]

Sooooo... With the fact that Looker is likely to be returning in the anime, which means Team Plasma should as well, I'd say it's now very likely the movie will indeed feature them. There might even be a tie-in with normal anime episodes just like the Mewtwo movie did way back in the day.

[Spin Attaxx]

Wait, where was it said Looker might be returning?

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Wait, where was it said Looker might be returning?

Here's the post.

Large message.

According to the CV of Looker's Twitter.

Looker will appear about the beginning of next year......

He said,

One thing I have to wonder is, since Techno Blast will undoubtly appear, how are the Drives going to be handled? Is Genesect going to have a mechanism that ejects, inserts and stores them?
