So, my wife and I are currently watching all the Movies again, and I've noticed something weird.
It started with M13 (Zoroark) and it's purple-haired Boccer fan. When she first came on-screen, I thought she might be a grown-up version of Casey (the Electabuzz fan), so I paused the movie and cross-referenced it in Chronicles. (It wasn't her, but nevermind.) In the frame where I paused, there are two background characters: A woman in a blue dress with brown hair, and a little girl with spiky orange-brown pigtails, a yellow dress, and red stockings.
Well, we watched the rest of the movie, and (since we're watching them in no real order) started up M8 (Lucario), and there they were again - the mom this time reading the story of Sir Aaron to the daughter at the end of the intro sequence.
It wasn't until M14, right after Satoshi's Oshawott beats that Emboar, and he runs right by the two of them that I realized just how often these recurring 'extras' were.
Now keeping an eye out for them, I spotted them in M10 (Darkrai) during the opening credits, purchasing cotton candy, and in M12 (Arceus) during the end credits, where the walk on as a train goes by them.
I''ve taken screen caps of them, from each film, and included times:
M8 (Lucario) 9:54 (Granted, the girl's in her PJs, but even they're the same basic design and color as her 'regular' outfit.)
M10 (Darkrai) 11:00 (Approx; it's the Cartoon Network version)
EDIT: 5/8/12
M11 (Shaymin)
M12 (Arceus) 1:33:18
M13 (Zoroark) 9:37
M14 (Victini) 19:02
(I haven't seen them in any of the other movies, but since I wasn't deliberately looking I may have missed them.)
Who are these two? My wife thought maybe they were an animator's wife & child, until I pointed out that the girl's not getting any older. (Well, I guess nobody else does, either...)
