New Ho-oh and Lugia Designs for Pokémon 151 Line
In commemoration of the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver in Japan, The Pokémon Company added two new designs to its Pokémon 151 clothing line. The designs feature Ho-oh and Lugia, the version mascots. Pokémon 151, which now ironically includes Pokémon outside of the original 151, is an adult-targeted clothing line. The website featuring these shirts closed late last year, but they continue to be sold in Pokémon Center stores in Japan. The price tag of the shirts also seems to reflect their marketing towards the older crowd. They weigh in at about $50 US. more…
Serebii.net has posted a scan from the upcoming issue of Japanese comic magazine, CoroCoro, which officially reveals pokémon #493, Arceus. The leaked image makes the theory that the legendary pokémon will appear in Movie 12 even more compelling. Arceus marks the last generation 4 pokémon to be revealed.
In addition, Japanese blog blue skY is reporting that advertisements for pokémon merchandise with a mysterious “Pokémon A” have come to light.

As we all know, the past two Pokemon movies are a part of trilogy that will ultimately lead up to Movie 12. It seems the third movie will have an interesting twist that will definitely turn some heads. If you pay close attention to the newly released calendar, you can see something interesting about the names of the showcased Pokemon.
At least one letter in their names are bolded. Place the red bold letters together, and you spell “A-R-C-E-U-S”. This is likely a confirmation that Arceus will be in the next movie. Though this may not excite you now, keep in mind that this news will also lead to Arceus’ official release in the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games.

Kunihiko Yuyama, director for the Pokémon movies, was featured in a trailer for the 12th movie this week, stating that the new movie’s title will be revealed on December 13th, according to a post on PokeBeach.
Another mystery he promised to reveal is a small, yellow, electric Pokemon that would save the world. The trailer shows Pikachu standing along side this mystery pokémon, but it is blocked by a large “?”. PokeBeach speculates that this may be a baby pokémon from the 5th generation, which would be in keeping with the tradition of revealing one such pokémon in a movie prior to the launch of that generation of games. more…
