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.

      • 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

        • 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”…

          • 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.
