Guinness World Record entry for Movie 11
 
Here.

Pokémon: Giratina & The Bouquet of the Sky - Shaymin now holds the world record for “Greatest advance sales for an animated film”. The count: 2,384,198 pre-sale tickets in Japan.

The anime still has some steam in Japan.

If the link doesn't work than please tell me.

Also, if anyone wanted to know. The Pokémon franchise holds three world records. Two of them are anime related [Movie 11 and Seizures] and 1 game related [Ruby version]. None are manga or TCG related.

I don't know what else to say, except,

Holy Magikarps. Now just imagine if Pokemon showed in theaters in the US.

Well... Let's see what happens with the next movie :O.

Gizamimi Pichu July 12th, 2009 4:53 PM

With how 'mature' a lot of US citizens are about Pokemon, it would bomb, and anyone going there would be commiting popularity suicide. (That wouldn't kill my popularity, I hang around with the biggest loser in school. I'm almost as popular as him, but this is off topic.) Maybe it isn't like that in some parts, but here it is. And it's stupid.

I remember the whole seizure thing that happened around ten years ago. That was probably the craziest time in pokemon history.

Back on topic, I bet this won't be the last record pokemon receives. I can easily see them getting a few more records before their time is up......however long that is

There are some who believe that because Arceus will appear in it that it will do better as well as since it is the end of the Diamond and Pearl trilogy.

Oh wow, that's really cool. I really wouldn't have expected it

Well, you don't have to make a public announcement at school saying that you're going to see a Pokemon movie XD I would go

derozio July 13th, 2009 8:07 AM

That's very cool!! I think that its a great accomplishment on their part!

Normally, I would agree with this. However, there are people who pretend to hate it. I know a couple of people like that, so to avoid suspicion, they's leak out the fact that (Insert name here) saw the movie to their friends, then the gossip begins, and the target won't be able to defend itself. Besides, if you're telling your friend about it, someone's going to overhear it and blab about it.

Either way, I'd be doomed, and so would anyone else in school down here.

Nina July 13th, 2009 11:03 AM

D: Eh, the cool kids can shove it.

Pokemon is still popular and I really hope it doesn't stop. :D I think that the next movie will do good as well.

Yay, I got a Porygon after watching that episode(like 6 years after it came out)

Blue_Drifblim July 15th, 2009 12:04 PM

That's pretty awesome. Knowing that the anime and movies are still going strong makes me glad, even if it's only in Japan.

:'( Porygon and kin have never been allowed in the Anime since...Accept for that one time, where Porygon was behind a steel FENCE!

But anyway, that's pretty interesting that Pokemon has set three world records. :D

And guess what, the thing that caused the seizures was Pikachu's fault. That is why I hate Pikachu. Porygon is awesome :(


On Topic: Heh, just another one of several records Pokemon has made.

The first four movies aired in theaters but each movie sold less than the last so they stopped.

bluecatcinema July 19th, 2009 5:56 AM

Not one, not two, but hree world records? Very impressive.

Infernape July 19th, 2009 8:20 AM

thats really intresting. As much as I'd like to see the movies on the big screen in the states, that won't happen for a long time

JoltIce July 19th, 2009 9:24 AM

It was the first five movies, not four. But the fifth only aired in a little more than 100 theaters in the U.S. So few people actually got to watch the movie.

Anxiety. July 19th, 2009 10:45 AM

I knew Pokemon would get some records. I mean, how could it not!?

bluecatcinema July 19th, 2009 4:17 PM

So, that's three world records this franchise has under it's belt? Most impressive!

ShadowYashi July 19th, 2009 4:46 PM

Ohh! I remember when the First Movie, MewTwo Strikes Back came out, it was in theaters too, back when Burger King sold the Pokemon Toys, I had a Sandslash that attached to a keychain... I lost it in the theater. I was so sad, but I also remember getting the big Pokeball's with the Gold Pokemon card's in them. I still have my Togepi =3... I had a Charizard or something, I think it was Mewtwo, but it got lost years ago and the Pokeball broke a few years back =.=

Vernikova July 19th, 2009 4:51 PM

Burger King was selling Pokémon toys a few weeks ago. They were selling cards and stuff.

yivx July 22nd, 2009 5:39 PM

Wow, 2,384,198 pre-order tickets? D: That's amazing!
Then again, the 11th movie WAS pretty badass >:3
