Victini and the leaked CoroCoro scan?

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

The latest version of Japanese wonder-mag CoroCoro is due out in the coming days, and what may be a leaked screenshot from this months version may have leaked onto the web.

And what's immediately striking is that the image in question refers to TWO Pokémon Movies arriving in Japan in July 2010: Victini and the Black Hero; Zekrom (which we already knew about, following a trailer at the end of the last movie) and puzzlingly, Victini and the White Hero; Reshiram.

It's worth baring in mind that this is unconfirmed at present, but if true does this mean Pokémon are releasing two Movies, largely the same but with slightly different plotlines and appearances? A bit like how the games have always been?

Have a look at the image and let us know on the comments below what you think. Stay tuned for further updates!

I have a question about black and white:

Does it work for DS lite?

Thank you!!!

sm - it does indeed. works for all modles of DS, from the huge phat one to the 3DS.

The page I can see clearly in the scan says "Victini to Shiroki Yuusha Reshiram (Victini and the White Hero Reshiram)", so at first I thought the scan was wrong or the folks at Game Freak changed their mind. The vertical text says something like "Black and white... If it were you, which ... (can't read because of glare)", however, so I assume it's either referring to the fact that there are two games - black and white - or that, as you have surmised, there will be two movies released simultaneously.

All I can say about the latter is that it will be interesting. There might be conflicts in ticket sales, but it would show that Game Freak isn't afraid to try something different.

I would think that the two movies with very similar plots would be really boring, wouldn't it? It would be like watching the same movie.

This is just... bizarre. On the other hand though, I'm surprised they haven't done it earlier. Like with Pokemon Movie 2000 except with the Johto Dogs and Ho-Oh. >.>;;

Z:Tomato Box Fairy, wouldn't playing 7 games with very similar plots be really boring?
