Someone on YouTube has uploaded the Arceus and the Jewel of Life trailer airing on Australia's Cartoon Network, which you can watch below. The background music and narrator are from Australia's Cartoon Network and will not be used in the movie.

Again, Arceus' name is pronounced with a hard "C." You can hear the English voices of Arceus, Marcus (Gishin), and Sheena (no, Australia does not dub over the movie's American English with Australian English, mates). Though I'm probably wrong due to the low quality of the audio, Arceus sounds like a higher-pitched Goku, Sheena sounds like a cross between Misty and Dawn, and I don't know who would be comparable to Marcus' voice. "Transcend the confines of time and space!" is apparently the dub's translation of "Conquer it! The laws of time and space!"

Tomorrow (as in, later today since it's 1:30 AM), I'll post one or two audio clips from the Japanese movie so you can all get a feel of its excitement. Check back later! Remember, the movie airs this Friday in Australia and on November 20th in America.

The Arceus LV.X tin we posted back in September is now available early at stores like Wal-Mart and Target, though its original release date was supposedly in December (TPCi probably decided to release it earlier). It costs $19.99 and comes with three Arceus booster packs, two Diamond and Pearl and / or Platinum series booster packs, a POP 9 pack, and the below DP53 Arceus LV.X promo.

As reported back in September, a new Arceus Poster Pack would be released with the Arceus set. You can now find it at stores like Target and Toys R Us for $11.99. It comes with two POP 9 and two Arceus booster packs, a double-sided Arceus set poster, and the DP50 Arceus below. Click the thumbnails for larger scans; thanks go to Omahanime for providing them.

Pokemon.com has revealed through a new Arceus movie website that Arceus and the Jewel of Life will premiere on Cartoon Network Friday, November 20th. The website's character biographies state Giishin's dub name will be Marcus while Damos, Sheena, and Kevin will keep the same names. The Space-Time Machine is now called the Space-Time Axis. As revealed a while ago, Notched-Ear Pichu is now called Spiky-Eared Pichu. The site's movie trailer also reveals that Arceus' name is pronounced with a hard "C" sound (Ar-kee-iss), contradicting the "Ar-see-us" pronunciation in Pokemon Battle Revolution.

HAPPINY HALLOWEENY!

Update #3 (10:00 AM, Sunday): Cartoon Network has now updated their online schedule; the movie is not airing Friday. However, it could air next Friday instead as discussed previously. We'll keep checking for the date! | Update #2 (5:30 PM): TV Guide has now moved the "TBA" from 6:30 to 8:00 PM on both days. | Update (4:00 PM) - There is also a "TBA" for the following Friday at the same time. So, it could either be this week or next week. We'll just have to wait for official confirmation. It would be odd for Australia to air the movie way ahead of us, so it may still be this Friday. Last time we knew two weeks ahead of time, though. Whatever happens, at least we know it will be soon now!

With confirmation that Arceus and the Jewel of Life is airing on Friday in Australia, checking America's TV Guide schedule reveals that there is a "To Be Announced" slot for Cartoon Network on Friday from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. We can probably assume that this is the reserved time slot for the movie.

Make sure to watch it even if you haven't seen the movies or show in a while - it's an exciting movie! There is this long flashback that lasts around 10 minutes with Arceus and Damos; it's my favorite part of any Pokemon movie. This is the shortest time between a Japanese theatrical release and an American premiere as well, so we're getting special treatment this time around. The Japanese won't even have the DVD yet.

According to Cartoon Network Australia's online schedule, Arceus and the Jewel of Life will be airing this upcoming Friday, November 6th, at 6:00 PM. Considering it is unlikely Australia would be airing the movie long before the United States, we'll probably see the movie within a few weeks as well, possibly even on the same date. If you want to read a detailed plot summary of the movie, check out our movie summary from July. We'll keep an eye out for official confirmation of the United States' air date.

Update (3:00 AM): Translations added thanks to Yaminokame.

The official Japanese Pokemon site has updated with new PokePark Wii - Pikachu's Great Adventure images. All of them are below; click the last picture for an enlarged image. Translations are below the images thanks to Yaminokame.

One day Pikachu is playing with his good friends Charmander, Chikorita, and Piplup when suddenly the legendary Pokemon Mew appears. It leads him to a mysterious place called "PokePark!" According to Mew, PokePark is a playground loved by many. It is under an unknown danger and things could get bad! In order to save PokePark from the impending danger, Pikachu is asked to collect "Sky Prism Shards." This is where Pikachu's great adventure to save PokePark begins!!

REDRUM... REDRUM... REDRUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Target and Wal-Mart are now carrying a Pokemon TCG Trainer's Challenge Box for $19.99. It contains an EX Trainer Kit and four EX-series booster packs, making it utterly worthless to any player who wants to play in official tournaments. Hopefully this is the last of the excess EX stock. It also comes with two reverse holographic POP 8 Chimchar and Riolu promos, which have the same holo style as the previously released POP 9 Raichu and POP 9 Rotom holos.

Update (3:00 PM): We're not sure if the game will actually cost 2,000 Nintendo points. The poster shows a 2,000 point card but does not specifically state that is how much it will cost.

Pokemon Secure has discovered through a Toys R Us employee that Pokemon Rumble will be released on the Wii Shop Channel starting November 16th. When you go to Toys R Us to download Arceus from November 7th to November 15th, you will receive a set of Explorers of Sky stickers and a Pokemon Rumble poster which mentions the date. It will apparently cost 2,000 Nintendo Points, or about $20 (in Japan it was 1,500 points). To learn more about the game, check out our detailed Melee! Pokemon Scramble page.
