The New Magearna Movie Trailer is Here!

This summer’s animated Pokémon movie is set to star a brand new legendary Pokémon, Magearna, and the newest trailer has been released in Japan. It offers a glimpse at Volcanion and the Mechanical Magearna and demonstrates that the new Pokémon can indeed fold into a ball, as many had speculated.

One thing I’d like to draw attention to is the antagonist’s staff. It appears around 0:48 and looks like a Mega Evolution symbol BUT there is a mysterious jewel in the center which is diamond shaped. This diamond shape is also present in the Japanese logos for Pokémon Sun and Moon and is in the same place that the Mega Evolution symbol was for Pokémon X&Y. Coincidence? Or foreshadowing of a huge new game feature?

There’s also a second :30 version which I’ve included below:

Just from the trailer, this movie looks like it could be a cut above the rest.

  1. I’ve got a lot of questions:

    ~ Is that by any chance the Azoth kingdom?
    ~ Why the fuck is Volcanion just falling from the sky?
    ~ How in hell is Mega Steelix fucking FLYING?

    Also I pray to God that the Reburst concept is either anime-only/manga-only and that it DOES NOT make its way into the main series games.

  2. Dark Mega Evolutions possibly similar to dark Mewtwo in Pokkén or what the masked marauder (he was kinda hot) was using in 4 Ever? Mmmmmmm. Dark megas…

  3. Stop calling it diamond shaped, nobody cuts diamonds like this anymore for 500 years. It’s a (regular) octahedron :).

  4. I think that “diamond” shaped thing is the Soul Heart. Also look at the wooden stick it has the mega evolution form. Maybe the soul heart allows you to take control over pokemon mind.

    • also, the villain has the light blue soul heart, maybe magearna keeps the orange one inside it. The villain wants them both because they will activate something?

  5. at 0:08 on the diagram you see a picture of the arm which looks similar to the ultimate weapon which you have to de-activate in Pokemon X&Y also note its in the shape of a flower as well. Hinting in my opinion that the two machines have something in common.

  6. I really can’t get excited about this. I don’t care about the movies and seeing this ‘Volcanion’ movie just makes me feel like we keep hanging in gen 6 (although Magearna is in it).

  7. Dark Evolution
    Honestly I’m surprised we never thought of tampering with the genetic makeup and composition of Mega Stones
    I mean what if that lunatic found a way to artificially mogrify the effects of Mega Evolution to also bring out savage violent primal rages and negative emotions found deep within every Pokemon, with the newfound power coursing through them now with this evilness brought to the surface words cannot describe how bad that can and will be

  8. That is very interesting, not only for the games, but for the anime itself. Sun/Moon are supposed to be 7th Gen, but this little diamond from the game titles is featured in a movie from the 6th series, with Clemont, Bonnie and Serena? That could be a hint for the next anime series, the Sun and Moon series, maybe featuring the Kalos crew joining Ash. I cross my fingers and wish for it to be true, because that could bring hope to all the Amourshippers in the world.

    Reply
      • Dammit. XD
        But I don’t think they will split Ash and Serena just like that. I’ve seen many amourshipping post from scriptwriters, the anime director and even Junichi Masuda himself. Something has to happen, they won’t have the risk to provoce a nuclear hate reaction…

      • It’s possible that crystal IS the one from Sun and Moon, but I wouldn’t b surprised if they pull a M Mewtwo Y and call it something else entirely only to reveal it at a later date for the game.

  9. Magearna is kind of a “pokeball”… hmm.. what could that mean? and what could be inside?
    At least we are more sure that it is part Steel type (because how it sounds)

  10. Did everyone here that Pokemon Go game developer conference was cancelled? So, we have no news coming from Niantic. Lets hope they release something besides this conference.

    Reply
    • They said that they want to work on the beta version and perfecting the game, so technically this is good news.

  11. The official site confirmed that Jarvis uses the “science of mistery” to force pokemon to megaevolve. Am I the only one who noticed that that strange stone he uses changes colour each time? At 00.48 it’s clearly blue, at 01:05 it’s green, while in this official picture below is pink.

      • wrong, Wattson actually used Magneton on his maiden game
        although if you ask me it should’ve always been Manetric

        But there’s still one error here

        Reply
        • Blame me for always playing Emerald instead of Ruby or Sapphire…
          Gotta say the Haxorus looks amazing 🙂
          I have stared at it for ages, but can’t find an error… I guess when you tell me I’ll be like “ooooooooh”…

          Reply
          • It is, that is the only mistake
            although interesting note: In FireRed they replaced his Rhydon with another Rhyhorn

          • Yea, I never understood why they devolved it for some reason. Nonetheless, thats a really cool picture

          • I want them all, I cant pick which one looks the coolest, Looking at this makes me think how some gym leaders didn’t even use the best type of that region. Like Skyla using a swanna, swanna is a terrible pokemon, but I like how they did hat.

          • well they have their reasons
            But one thing that irks me is half of the Johto leaders use non Johto Pokemon as their signature ace’s
            i guess techically since Noctowl evolves at 20 its a bit much for the first gym
            but Bugsy should’ve used Heracross
            Morty….he can keep Gengar since Misdreavus sux
            Chuck with a Hitmontop
            but the rest are fine

            It just should always be native Pokemon

          • Exactly how I feel about Johto Gym leaders too, I feel like aces should only be native pokemon, I could see some good Johto pokemon as they aces, But they haven’t done it anymore (Luckily Wattson switched to manetric)

          • I’m guessing the Nidoking which should be a Rhydon.
            How on earth could I have thought differently when you were the one asking the question haha

  12. There hasn’t been much news these days, so i figured it would be fun to get to know each other. Maybe you guys already know each other well, but I have no clue who I am talking to.
    I’d like to know you guys by your names, maybe your age, where your from, etc. Maybe even add a picture!!

    Well my name is Wessel and I’m from The Netherlands and I’m 19 years old. I play field hockey and I am a bartender. I study law. How about you guys? I’d love to get to know you.

  13. I really did like the music from the Mario v Sonic Rio Olympic Games trailer, it was hype. It also had me dancing as well xD

      • Zootopia: 100% on Rottentomates, 99th best reviewed film on the site, expected to continue Disney’s HOT streak, and went from being a movie nobody cared about to being one of the most acclaimed films (story, character development, and animation wise) in Disney’s pantheon! 😀 Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.

        • I’ve loved Disney’s animated movies these past few years! Wreck it Ralph is truly my favorite animated movie and Big Hero 6 was awesome too; made me bawl my fuckin eyes out

          Reply
          • As much as I love Disney and Pixar, there’s nothing better than watching a Miyazaki animated masterpiece in my opinion. 😀

          • Yeah. Finding Nemo is my all time favorite Pixar movie because I love ocean life. It’s followed by Ratatouille and then Wall-E

          • Moana, Finding Dory, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Zootopia are my most anticipated movies of 2016! 😀

          • I’m also excited for Jungle Book, Civil War, and Doctor Strange :3 Also Rogue One, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

          • When Tadashi died… I wanted to scream at the screen, “BRING HIM BACK! HE’S NOT DEAD, STOP MESSING WITH MY EMOTIONS!” And then my friend had the audacity to say, “That man in the black is actually Tadashi and he faked his own death.” Like, bish, who suddenly gave the third wheel the ability to talk?!

          • I was the same, except I was bawling throughout the whole movie like ‘this will be happy right?…..right? PLEASE TELL ME EVERYONE LIVES A HAPPILY EVER AFTER’

  14. Damn… just checked out Pokemon’s official channel and the Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer is already around 6 million views! That’s about on the same level as how many views certain blockbuster films get! O_O And the Pokemon Go video has about 23 MILLION! Damn…

  15. So what does everyone think about pokemon Go? The conference was cancelled today due to the Niantic team wanting to focus on perfecting the game before beta and launch. Is this a good thing? Or could this possibly mean they aren’t ready yet?

    Reply
      • Yeah, they for sure can’t cancel because of all the money invested. But I feel like Niantic might not be confident in the product yet.. Or they just really don’t want to show us the game yet.

        Reply
    • I think they just aren’t ready yet. Which is fine. They need to take their time and get it working right. I’d rather continue waiting than have them show it off too soon and have it b trash even if it’s just the tech demo.I’m sure ti’ll b a fun game. It’s just a matter of time b4 they get to the point where they wanted to b.

  16. There was a lot of negativity following today’s Nintendo Direct. I’d like to say that for me, personally, I left with no problems whatsoever. Star Fox Zero looks fantastic, and it’s getting bundled with a fun minigame. We’re getting a new Kirby game with a cool concept and Triple Deluxe visuals. Metroid Prime Federation Force was given the trailer it truly needed to become relevant in the Metroid universe. Paper Mario Color Splash, while following in the disliked footprints of its predecessor, looks absolutely STUNNING and has an interesting paint mechanic. Rhythm Heaven Megamix will be extremely entertaining for any 3DS owner later this year. I witnessed my friend go completely insane as Monster Hunter Generations was announced. Those things are just the tip of the iceberg. Nintendo is going to have an absolutely kickass 2016, don’t you forget it!

    Reply
    • I agree with you on all of these except Color Splash…. I mean, I liked it better when everything was 2D, hence paper. Now everything is a papercraft except for the characters and it looks really odd.

    • I am immensely displeased with their blatant disregard to the sheer general dislike of Sticker Star, they officially and permanently changed the series from a classic RPG into this travesty
      It is literally Sticker Star down to the label, HELL THE FREAKING FAIRY PARTNER IS A KERSTI CLONE JUST A FLOATING PAINT BUCKET
      I will not be swayed by gorgeous graphics and bright smooth colors, no I am outraged, I personally feel I should start a petition to spark some attention to the company to show that I and millions of others want a return to the infinitely perfect game it once was,

      See every aspect of sticker star is there
      Map level selection
      1-1 courses
      Replacing stickers with battle cards
      Thing cards
      A sucky uninspired storyline
      A floating fairy like companion related to the time I.E. Paint Bucket
      Even the battles are carbon copies to the battles being done solely with what you collected and no actual abilities AND THE FUCKING COIN SHOWER AT THE END
      This game is literally Sticker Star 2.0 and I hope everyone hates it so much to convince Nintendo to scrap it and give us a better Paper Mario
      Hell I’d even take a Super Paper Mario remake
