Zoroark: Master of Illusions coming 2011 [UNCONFIRMED]

[Cat333Pokémon]

Zoroark: Master of Illusions, which is the English title of Movie 13, may be planned for a release in 2011. The movie poster, which was for sale on eBay, does not state which release (television airing, DVD, or possible theaters) will be released at that time.

THIS NEWS IS NOT CONFIRMED. THIS IS BASED ON AN EBAY AUCTION FOR A MOVIE POSTER OF THE 13TH MOVIE, NOT ON ANY OFFICIAL SOURCES.

Ooh, if this is real, hopefully it confirms that the official English name of the Pokémon is Zoroark.

If someone can provide the item number of the removed auction or a non-watermarked poster, please let me know.

I thought it was already confirmed as Zoroark. Back to the discussion of the movie, I do hope it is shown in theaters.

[Cat333Pokémon]

No English media has ever stated "Zoroark" as the English name. It was stated in Japanese media that the Romanized name is "Zoroark." Of course, most of us were quite sure of it anyway.

I think Vixarge would be a good name for it.
But, if this is real, then SUER HAPPY FUN TIME! And also, Shiny Beasts and Celebi event, anyone?

[Aquablast]

I think it going be fake because most of the time the Japan name and US name is different but Paikia, Diagla, Reshiram, and Zekrom name was the same both ways.

That doesn`t necessarily back it being fake. The designers (including Ken Sugimori himself) have stated that the hardest names to come up with are those for the Legendaries or other significant Pokemon, since they`re typically meant to be usable internationally. "Rukario" got romanized to "Lucario" due to the pronunciation similarities with r and l in Japanese. Dialga and Palkia were changed for the same reasons. "Darkrai" on the other hand was kept the same except for getting rid of the u to eliminate extra syllables present from Japanese pronunciation and spelling. The same thing happened to Arceus (though TPCI still managed to "Officially" mess it up by claiming it`s "Ar-KEY-us", when in actual fact, "Aruseusu" romanized is pronounced "Ar-SEE-us, plain and simple).
Anyway, "Zoroark" comes from "Zorro", which is Spanish for "Fox", and "Dark", therefore, the international name wouldn`t need to be changed, since the name portmanteau wasn`t a Japanese reference or of Japanese origin to begin with.

[The Spirit of Time]

I just want to see it later on and see if it is nice or not.

[Shadow]

I hope this movie isn't 'bad' as some people have been claiming - it actually looks the complete opposite to me.

ピ= pi チュ = chu カ = ka ラ = ra イ = i

I am sure you know their English names. And if you don't believe me on the translations, do a Google image search for Katakana Chart

You've got a point there, but we won't know for sure until TPCI confirms the name as it is, or mess it up, and makes it weird.
