Junichi Masuda must want Internet attention this week – he just updated the Gamefreak blog with some surprising background information about N. He finally revealed that N’s full name is “Natural Harmonia Gropius.” Yes, N’s first name is actually Natural. And yes, laughably, his last name is Gropius (I see two similarities there, one Pokemon-related [Tropius], and one not XD.) On a serious note, and Masuda did not say this, but “Natural” is English, “Harmonia” is Latin, and “Gropius” is German, meaning N’s name comes from three different languages (and he’s German?). Masuda stated that the abbreviation “N” actually comes from “natural number” since N is highly intelligent in math – he is even called a “magician of mathematics,” which isn’t surprising considering his character design shows him wearing a Menger sponge.
The official Pokemon Trading Card Game Online program has updated with computer-generated images of upcoming Black & White promos, revealing the card artwork for promos #20 through #24. Serperior, Emboar, and Samurott will each be reprints of the non-holos from the first Black & White set, but with English-exclusive artwork. They will be included in the fall 2011 tins, which will be released in October.
Reshiram and Zekrom, on the other hand, are reprints from Black & White but use the set’s booster pack artwork for their card artwork, making them alternate art promos as well. They will be included in the Reshiram and Zekrom boxes, which will also hit store shelves in October.
Pirates, Water Pokémon, a vast ocean and a travelling circus – what on Earth are Ash and his pals up to in the ninth Pokémon movie? Pokémon World investigates…
In the centre of a vast ocean, a simple but beautiful lone Manaphy Egg floats down to the depths, then the tranquillity and call of the Water Pokémon is broken by a bunch of evil pirates led by the king of pirates, Phantom. These watery wasters attempt to capture the special blue egg for their leader. It’s a double-cross, though, as one of the pirates isn’t all he seems! Jack Walker is a Pokémon Ranger in disguise, and when the moment presents itself he grabs the Manaphy Egg and makes a daring escape from the pirate ship, outwitting the guards every step of the way.
Meanwhile, Ash and the troupe are doing their usual ramble through the wilderness between Pokémon battles when they come across a travelling circus where Water Pokémon perform to great crowds. They tag along with the circus, getting to know the performers – Lizabeth, Meredith, Ship and Kyle. They discover that these circus performers are descendants of ‘The People of the Water’ and they, along with Jack, are trying their best to deliver the Manaphy Egg back to the Sea Temple. It’s not plain sailing though, as the pirates are soon back on their trail.
In all the commotion the little egg hatches, and the Manaphy that emerges becomes attached to May in a big way! It appears that Phantom is desperate to get his hands on the Manaphy so that the Pokémon will lead him to the Sea Temple and its special treasure – the Sea Crown! With the Sea Crown in his clutches, Phantom will have enough power to take over the world! He eventually catches up with our Pokémon-loving buddies and it’s up to Ash, his mates, Lizabeth and Jack to protect the Manaphy and stop the evil pirate once and for all!
The Cast of Characters
As well as Ash Ketchum, the hero we all know and love, each Pokémon movie introduces a host of new characters to get excited about. The lead in Pokémon Ranger is played by Jack Walker, as he is the Pokémon Ranger himself! Then there’s the character of Lizabeth, the teenage girl that the gang come across as one of the ‘People of the Sea’. Phantom is the nasty pirate leader who is out to capture the Manaphy Egg so that he can find his way to the Temple of the Sea and Judy is the Mission Coordinator for the rescue mission Jack Walker is on – he talks to her through a special talk-back system!
