Movie 10: "Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai" discussion thread

***Zhen Lin*** · 12-05-2006, 10:29 AM

So, the 10th anniversary of the anime is coming up (April 2007), and so is the tenth movie (but not the 10th anniversary of the movies - that's July 2008).

Director Yuyama Kunihiko mentioned that this movie will be a tenth anniversary commemorative production. Whether that actually means something special or not... well, we'll see in July.

In a few days, we should find out the title of the movie. One or two weeks from now the official movie 10 site will be set up, presumably also at http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/.

It's very unlikely that any Gen. V Pokémon will be in this movie, so we'll probably also get the name of the star Pokémon. Of course, I could be wrong - there were Gen. II cameos in short 1, and, Gen. III cameos in short 4, after all. But it seems quite unlikely that we'll see any Gen. V stars for a while more... there are so many Gen. IV legendaries we have to work through. (Excluding Ho-Oh, all legendaries have appeared in at least one movie or a special. Mew seems to be leading the race.)

And in the feature itself- Donphan.

I'm guessing the movie will involve Darkrai (our first Event Ledgendary by numerical order) and probably his "counterpart" of sorts, Crescelia.

Didn't VT mention something about this being "the last" or was that disproven?

Not sure if this counts, but Mew transformed into Ho-oh briefly in the 8th movie.

I highly doubt that any Generation 5 pokemon will be in it. I don't think Nintendo's even came up with a title for V yet. There's a lot of possible storylines with all of these legendaries, so I think there will be at least 2 more taking place in Sinnoh.

Was Groudon in a special/movie? I know it was in that two-parter with Kyogre, but does that count as a special?

*ZoraJolteon* · 12-05-2006, 04:32 PM

Pseudo-Groudo was in Movie 6.

Scott85 · 12-05-2006, 04:49 PM

I wonder how many movies the D/P series will get. Assuming the series lasts as long as AG did, we should be getting at least 4 D/P movies. That should be enough to get at least the major legends from D/P featured.

I hope Hikari stars in the first D/P one, considering Max had a big role in Movie 6 and May starred in Movie 9. Here's hoping.

~~Habunake~~ · 12-05-2006, 04:51 PM

I hope Brock has a big role.

No, seriously, I do. Maybe he could fall in love with Crescelia (who disguises as a human) and have to save her?

Who knows, maybe those bastards will bring back Misty, Tracey, May, and Max for a 10th Anniversary BASH~!

A "tenth anniversary commemorative production", eh?

Mewtwo Mewtwo Mewtwo Mewtwo!

Joking. If he ever appears again, it should be in the series itself.

I just hope we can go at least two D/P movies without a Generation 5 Pokémon. We've never been able to do that before.

More specificallly...April 1st, 2007. So there will be more than enough fake news going around that day.

~~Habunake~~ · 12-05-2006, 05:24 PM

Remember when Challenger debuted?

I hope our first preview one is neither a baby nor ledgendary. Kasa-Obaka Pokemon, Peacock Pokemon, or Dolphin Pokemon FTW.

If you want to get really technical, Entei and Groudon weren't in movies, given that their appearences in the movies were fakes.

Screw that, bring on the Mewtwo!

Better yet, work in some way of giving a cameo to every other legendary somehow - maybe through time travel (Palkia, go!) or 'flashbacks' (Mastermind Mind Sucker, go!). Anything to give them their deserved props in the 10th movie.

Mewtwo in the 10th movie would make me go uber-squee though.

GARY in the 10th movie would make me pass out for a week.

~~Habunake~~ · 12-05-2006, 06:32 PM

TRACEY in the 10th Movie would give me an errection.

And Lance...ooooh....ooooooooooh....OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Lil Brother · 12-05-2006, 06:37 PM

Lance being in this movie would make me go into a depression.

I hope it's not another freakin' unobtainable Pokémon. The last six movies have been about one. X.X Celebi, Lati@s*, Jirachi, Deoxys, Mew, and Manaphy.

*Close enough.
