Cool. Now only if I could find movie 8...

Ooh, it's still being distributed by Viz, just like the 8th movie was.

I wonder if that could possibly mean......


Nah, probably not (but hey, there's nothing wrong with being hopeful, lol). ^^o

There's nothing wrong with being hopeful. There's something wrong with announcing your hopefulness on every single thread that has to do with the dub.

LOL, yeah that's true, Joey. XD

But to be honest, I get carried away with that sometimes, and I can't help myself. Heh, I guess you can blame that on my positive/optimistic personality. ^^o

Eh, I was hoping February, but atleast it's not as long as the Lucario Movie took time to release.

And, it will get kids pumped for DP.

The same month as the English release. We could know the names of the starters before then. Oh well, we found out the names of the new pokes featured in Lucario's movie by other means, but that may have been due to special circumstances. We know we are getting Perap's name for certain before then. Buoysel and Tamanta were not featured too much beyond the 9th movie. I could be surprised, since all the info that we saw happen in a matter of 5 months for the JP release now has to be compressed into 4 months. Actually, one of those five has already happened and I didn't realize that they could perfectly analog every month of Coro Coro's D/P updates. If I am right, then next month we should find out what our otter friend's name is... http://www.filb.de/content/scans/corocoro/2006-07/DPSpecial_Page_4-5.jpg

Ha, it looks like they definitely wanted to get the last AG movie out before D/P was released.

Releasing the 9th movie on April 3rd when D/P comes out on April 22nd seems smart to me. Gives kids a sneak peak at Manaphy and let's them see the AG cast one last time before the switch to D/P starts.

Yay! They finally revealed the date.

Can't wait, loved this movie~

Wow, I just thought of something. O.O

I wonder if Pokemon USA/TAJ would actually put an audio commentary on this DVD?


I mean, 4Kids thought enough about the fans and was actually nice enough to make not one, but 3 audio commentaries for us. And they were on the first, 3rd, and 4th movie DVDs respectively.

Anyway despite my thoughts about the VA switch and everything, if they decide to put an audio commentary on the 9th movie DVD, I would definitely listen to it (if I don't buy the DVD, I'll rent it or something - I'd find some way to hear the commentary).



I love commentaries!! They're interesting, and they give you so much information that you can't get anywhere else. ^_^

If they do a commentary, I hope they actually do a proper one...not the half-assed commentary they did for the Celebi movie.

I hope it's in Widescreen also.

You actually have a good idea, congrats.
I too would a commentary, and widescreen. But after reading the article on Bulbapedia, its apparently fullscreen.

What do you mean by "audio commentary"?

A second audio track where the cast just rambles on and on about anything vaguely related to the movie.
