‘CoroCoro’ Reveals Hoopa Movie Details, Distributions, ‘Emerald Break’ Cards
Hoopa Film – Called it in October! :p CoroCoro has revealed that the Hoopa movie will feature several Legendary Pokemon from past generations, which we will obviously meet through Hoopa’s portals. The magazine shows Lugia, Latios, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Kyurem, and the previously revealed Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza. Hoopa is also seen with a bunch of Pikachu, which could be Ash’s Pikachu from different dimensions.
Arceus Download – This year’s movie ticket preorder download is a Level 100 Arceus. It will be holding a Silk Scarf and knows Judgement (“Justice” :p), Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and Earth Power. Fans can preorder their movie tickets from March 7th to July 17th. The movie debuts on July 18th, and Hoopa will likely be the Pokemon fans can download in the actual theaters.
Legendaries Download – The Arceus download isn’t the end of it! Fans can also take their preorder vouchers to select stores from June 20th to August 31st to download one of six Legendary Pokemon. The Pokemon have not been revealed yet, but they could be the six mentioned above. Typically Pokemon films sell more preorder tickets when a variety of Legendary Pokemon are made available to download, so expect this year’s film to sell well!
Shiny Rayquaza Download – CoroCoro also announced that fans can download the shiny Rayquaza that was given out at Japan’s World Hobby Fair. The code will be given out in a future issue of CoroCoro. Fans will be able to download it even if they have the older Rayquaza.
Emerald Break – And rounding off the anime and game news, a full art Steven and four Rayquaza cards were revealed! The first two below are from Emerald Break, the third one is a promo that will be included in a future issue of CoroCoro, and the fourth one, an M Rayquaza-EX, is the only Dragon-type of the bunch and will be released in the set’s accompanying Battle Deck Mega Rayquaza-EX. Steven will be the bonus card players receive when they buy two boxes of the set. It has an “Emerald Break” stamp on it, but is otherwise too hard to read. Thanks goes to Franco T. for all the translations!
