    May I just say that those previews look so goddamn epic? What took so long for Pokemon to get so badass?

    Ash should definitely catch more pokemon. Particularly those most people just throw away at first glance. Like that Zebra hybrid thingy.

    Iris/Dent should catch more pogeys also. They better not become like Brock ;/

    Copy pasted from Anime News Network:


    Two feature-length Pokémon anime films will open in Japan on July 16 instead of the usual one feature-length film with an anime short. According to the Nikkan Sports newspaper, this is the first time that two feature-length Japanese animated films from the same franchise have opened on the same day. In addition to the previously announced Gekijōban Pocket Monster Best Wishes! Victini to Kuraki Eiyū Zekrom, there will also be a second feature called Gekijōban Pocket Monster Best Wishes! Victini to Shiraki Eiyū Reshiram. The same theaters will show both films, one after another.


    In the story of the two films, the protagonist Satoshi (Ash in English) and his Pokémon creature Pikachu take part in a battle held during the harvest festival in Aintoōku, and they encounter the mysterious Pokémon Victini. The two films will also feature two different legendary Pokémon — the black hero Zekrom appears before people who seek the pure "ideal," while the white hero Reshiram appears before people who seek the pure "truth." Not incidentally, these two are pivotal Pokémon in the latest games in the franchise, Pokémon Black and White. They also appeared as miniature floats at last year's 84th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.


    Pokémon anime feature films have often opened in theaters with an anime short, similar to how American Pixar films have often opened in theaters with an animated short. However, the two Pokémon films that will open in July are both feature-length. The last time that Japanese theaters opened two features from the same franchise on the same day was in 2009, when the live-action franchise Ju-on (The Grudge) marked its 10th anniversary with Ju-on: Shiroi Rōjo and Ju-on: Kuroi Shōjo.


    According to the official website, there will also be two Pikachu the Movie shorts accompanying the two feature films.

    This will definitely be interesting; I'm looking forward to it. I'm wondering how the writers will spread the story out in the two movies. Presumably one movie continues the story of the other, so considering that they're both feature length, it sounds like they're really going to be in-depth; awesome.

    Personally I think the only way to pull this off is sort of what they did in the Legend Of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. For those of you who don't know, the games were made so that the ending of one of the game is the beginning of the other so it doesn't matter what order you play them in the storyline "continues" either way.

    From the sounds of things they're pretty much the same, with only the actual mascot changing, much like the games. They're certainly the same up until the legendaries appear, although apparently Zekrom appears to a trainer seeking dreams whilst Reshiram appears to a trained seeking truth...I dunno.

    I don't know if you did a typo but BW025 is the gym battle I believe... according to Arti's VA's blog.
