The mysterious Pokémon featured in the recently released promo images for "Pokémon XY Movie: Hoopa & the Clash of Ages" is speculated to appear in the franchise's future game, specifically "Pokémon Z". The next "Pokémon XY" film is slated to premiere in summer 2016.
The Japanese Manga magazine Corocoro has recently released a photo for "Pokémon XY Movie: Hoopa & the Clash of Ages", featuring a speculated new Pokémon. As previously reported, the photo shows a tall and mysterious creature standing in the dark. Illustrated with three glowing eyes that are similar to Hoopa's unbound form, the image is captioned "Is this a new Pokémon?"
While the new entity will debut in the post-credit scene of the film, it is also rumored to appear in the franchise's future games. Numerous rumors have been floating around for a while now regarding the new generation of Pokémon coming to the franchise soon. Youth Health Mag predicts that the mysterious creature might be one of those who will be introduced in the upcoming game "Pokémon Z". There is no official date yet for the game's release which was reportedly pushed back due to the launch of "Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon". But with "Pokémon XY's" two-year anniversary coming up, at least some information about it could be due anytime soon.
Meanwhile, "Pokémon XY Movie: Hoopa & the Clash of Ages" has made it to Japanese theaters last weekend, with the speculated new Pokémon teased on its post-credit scene. The film follows Ash and his group who encounters a mythical creature called Hoopa. Found on a desert by the sea, the Pokémon has the capability of summoning things, people, and other species through its magic rings. The film stars Tatsuya Fujiwara as Balza, Shinichi Shinohara (Olympic judo athlete) as Hipopotasu, Shoko Nakagawa as Mary, Kouichi Yamadera as Hoopa Unbound, and Mizuki Yamamoto as the Narrator for the Pikachu to Pokémon Ongakutai short.
"Pokémon XY Movie: Hoopa & the Clash of Ages" will be followed by a third "Pokémon XY" movie which is slated to premiere summer next year.
