Pokemon Movie 10 English version hints

[Golden Darkness]

Via Amazon, there are hints about the movie 10 release for N. America. Not the actual DVD, but related products.

First a Scholatic book for a movie 10 novelization: http://www.amazon.com/2008-D-T-V-Nov...7514129&sr=1-8

This has a release date of April 2008,

Next is a manga from Viz: http://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-D...7514129&sr=1-3

It uses the Japanese title of Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai, so the it could be retained for the English release. It'll be release in August.

So a date between April and August is when we should except Movie 10 to come to our shores. Hopefully more details will be forthcoming.

On a side note, Viz is also releasing a Movie 9 manga: http://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-R...7514129&sr=1-6

Whoa! Pokemon Movie manga!?!? This is great! I guess the small batch of manga that Viz released did pretty well.

But it seems like we may have to wait for a bit longer before we see Movie 10's dub..

[Lazerboy5000]

Yeah, Pokemon Manga...

And a book as well.

You may be right, D Dubbs. We may be waiting awhile for the 10th dub.

I also have some related news, Nintendo is going to officially announce Darkrai sometime in February or before that. The new TCG set includes Darkrai and they've never released a set with a Pokemon that hadn't been announced before the set came out. So they've obviously have to announce him before mid February which is when the set comes out.

[Duke]

Wow. Surprised they're continuing with the manga, albiet the movie novelizations, though since the franchise is apparently one of the better sellers in the manga world, I shouldn't be surprised.

Now if only we could get Movie 7's novelization...

It's probably part of a Dialga/Palkia themed TCG pack. Japan already has cards surrounding those two, but they were removed from the sets they were in for the US release.

If that's the case, then I really hope that Viz re-releases the Pokemon Adventures manga, or at least start the Gold and Silver saga where they left off after the Yellow saga. Those volumes are seriously hard to find and the best place to even look for them is on eBay.

I'm not surprised that we have to wait awhile for Movie 10 to come here. I sure wasn't expecting it any earlier than April. It would make sense for them to release the movie between the release of the novelization and the manga adaptation of the movie. Besides, we always have to wait about a year or so before the next movie comes out. I don't think that they released two movies in the same year and I really didn't expect anything different. I know a lot of people mentioned how since CN aired the episode that came out right before the movie was released in Japan, but I just don't think that it has ever functioned like that here. We didn't hear about the ninth movie's offical release date until February and that might be the same time to announce the offical release date for the tenth movie. Hopefully they'll give it better promotion than the ninth movie.

Anyway, this is still great news. I'm definately going to be getting these manga adaptations and the novelization. I kind of wish that they'll release the manga version of movie eight since it is my favorite Pokemon movie. Still, I hope that these will come out. I've noticed that Amazon has put up release dates for products, but then they never come up. I was so disappointed when they had to cannel my order for the Yu-Gi-Oh! season two set after pushing back the release date for the second time. I really hope that doesn't happen with these releases.

I hope not. "Dialga versus Palkia versus Darkrai" doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

[Duke]

Yea, the title would've been much better if it was just "Dialga vs. Palkia." I mean, none of the other movies have had all the legendaries in the title, so why this one?

[Golden Darkness]

Darkrai's silhouette has shown up on the Pokemon.com website.

He's coming soon to N. America for sure.

Manaphy was revealed December 2006, and the movie premiered on Cartoon Network the following March. Maybe it'll be the same for Darkrai.

BTW, Pokebeach.com has the TCG info:

That would be an okay title, but all the other titles were at least somewhat creative.

Only 2000 and Heros had none of the legendary's names in them. And only the Mystey of Mew had all of them.

Still would like to see a more interesting title... like something to do with Space and Time...

[Duke]

Only 2000 and Heros had none of the legendary's names in them. And only the Mystey of Mew had all of them.

Eh? 2000's title had Lugia's name in it. Both "Revelation Lugia X" and "The Explosive Birth of the Phantom Pokémon, Lugia" contain Lugia's name, and Movie 5's name, "The Water Capitol's Protector Gods: Latios and Latias" had the names.

And only Movies 3 & 5 had all the Legendaries' names in the title (as they're the only movies that don't have a "sub-Legendary"). Movie 1 was missing Mew, Movie 2 was missing Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, Movie 4 was missing Suicune, Movie 6 was missing Groudon, Movie 7 was missing Rayquaza, Movie 8 was missing the Regis, and Movie 9 was missing Kyogre.

I think he was referring to the dub titles.

ie.

1. Mewtwo Strikes Back
2. Power of One
3. Spell of the Unown
4. Celebi: Voice of the Forest
5. Heroes - Latios and Latias
6. Jirachi - Wishmasker
7. Destiny Deoxys
8. Lucario and the Mystery of Mew
9. Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (I think Lazerboy missed this one)

[Lazerboy5000]

Yes, I was refering to the dub titles.

Sorry about the confusion.
