Pokemon the Movie 12 (Third Diamond and Pearl Movie)

I heard about this on Serebii. It's possible that it could have been just a Pichu instead of a new Pokemon, but we don't know all of the details yet. If this is true, hopefully this Pichu will be something really special, other than its unique ear shape.
 
It seems to be Pichu.

The official site (http://www.pokemon-movie.jp) has been updated with the teaser trailer and poster. Name seems to be "To the Conquering of Space-Time" or something like that.

I know, name seems weird.
 
I would be surprised if Japan decides to wise up and make a movie to end Ash's journey and begin another. I mean even everyone working on Pokemon in Japan are probably still thinking about new 5th Gen., if there's a 5th Gen., Pokemon and the new season but I think it's time that it's time to let go of the little boy and his Pikachu and figure out another way to keep the franchise fresh.
 
That would be an interesting twist with its evolution branch. Though I wonder how that would work out since Pichu evolves only out of frienRABhip. Maybe they'll make a new kind of requirement or item for Pichu to evolve.

From what we do know, it is specifically female due to its ear, but that's about it. The name for the movie does sound weird, but it should be interesting since they plan on explaining why these legendary Pokemon have been fighting about.
 
Damn, there goes my theory that Palkia and Dialga's battle somehow accidentally sucks the Pichu that eventually evolved into Ash's Pikachu into the present.

Personally, that'd be somewhat interesting.
 
Lol, that's pretty ironic. Usually the English dub comes out about a month before my birthday. So maybe it's an early birthday present for me.
 
That would be pretty cool and a nice little twist. If they wanted to open a can of worms for the Pokemon shippers, and I doubt they would, they could go with that and make Pikachu a female. Man, the AshxPikachu shippers would have a field day with that, but luckily Ash's Pikachu is not a female.
 
Before we get to gen V, we need :

Gold Sun and Silver Moon, remakes for RAB.

Johto is the only place you CAN`T get to in the current Gen III/IV metagame.

Plus, Region data exists for it in Pal park.
 
I agree with you, I really do hope this is the last generation with Ash as the lead, but who knows.

I'd hate to see this series go on for 20 years with the same lead...
 
I do believe that the final movie will feature Ho-Oh. You know, becuase Ash saw Ho-Oh on his first day as a trainer and all that. But that will be the final movie, and I'm more than positive that they are working on a fifth generation, so that won't be for quite some time.
 
That does sound cool. I don't think they're not taking advantage of the space/time potential.

I was hoping Ash and co. would go in an adventure into the past where he sees the origins of Pokemon training. That would've made a great plot for the 10th movie.
 
After all the times we've seen Ho-Oh on TV, I highly doubt that Japan would go back in incorporate him in having some big story for theaters. I mean before he went off to go to Hoenn, ASh saw Ho-Oh. In the original Movie 8 trailer, we had Ho-Oh, but that was just a Mew using 'Transform', and then there was the Ho-Oh story from Johto League Champions withe the Ecrutek City episodes.

We had our chances of seeing Ho-Oh front and center on the big screen or even on the small screen since it has been in the introductions of a few of the films so having him in a film to end Ash's story might've been a good idea but that opportunity was thrown out the window just like the story of Ash's father and a possible origin story of the GS Ball.
 
There's been updates recently for the few past days.

Arceus has been officially revealed. Now waiting for the official art to come out (instead of crappy scans). Title of the film is now Arceus: To the Conquering of Space-Time.

The Coro-Coro scans (found on Serebii.net and Filb.de) also reveal the involvement of Heatran and the Johto starters.

Discuss and speculate.
 
If there is a GS remake, Ho-oh being the star of Movie 13 is likely.

Considering Ho-oh appears in every region, its not a forgotten plot like the GS ball. He also saw it in the Battle Pyramid eps.
 
Also the inclusion of Heatran and the Johto starters are something I notice, other than Arceus since well Arceus is something that I was expecting from the next movie. Well unless the anime raps up the Lake Trio story, then the next movie might be the tease towarRAB the Fifth Generation Legendary (Like the Manaphy Movie) or a Pokemon who popularity might skyrocket because of the said moive (Like Lucario). But man those Johto starters really are teasing me, making me get my hopes up that a G/S remake is coming soon.
