Questions About the Japan Movie Event...I'll be in the neighborhood, I think. o_o;;

[I Like Corn]

Hello. Um. This is my first post, and considering the topic, I'm sure it could very well be misplaced, or that my answers could be found elsewhere, but I haven't seen them. If it's in a sticky in bold and I somehow missed it, I'm pretty embarassed about now. See....about half a year back, my dad and sisters decided to take a trip to Tokyo this summer. We'd never been on an international trip, and we wanted to see both traditional Japan and modern Japan...both the oriental and the super technological and...well, those things you can only see in modern Japan. ^^;;

Anyway, I heard about the new movie event, and was wondering a few things about it, because I'm going to be in Tokyo during July 6th through the 16th. And, well, insanely lucky if I can participate, you know, an american Pokemon fan just HAPPENING to be in the neighborhood during an event. I was wondering, since I can't READ any Japanese....

1) When does the movie come out?
2) What Pokemon are being given away? How? Mystery Gift?
3) Would I be able to try Mystery Gift right outside a theater during a showing so I wouldn't have to, you know, actually WATCH the thing? Or is there an on-screen cue to download? =p
4) Would english-language versions of the game work with a Japanese event?

Please excuse any faux pas, I'm sorta....newish here. This seemed like a good place to ask, because I get my Pokemon info from here and Serebii, and the Serebii guys aren't...well, their community is sorta competive. ^^;;

1) When does the movie come out?

I believe it comes out July 4.

2) What Pokemon are being given away? How? Mystery Gift?

I'm sure they will be distributed through Wireless Mystery Gift.

3) Would I be able to try Mystery Gift right outside a theater during a showing so I wouldn't have to, you know, actually WATCH the thing? Or is there an on-screen cue to download? =p

Not sure, but I'm positive that you will need to buy a ticket to get the Pokemon.

4) Would english-language versions of the game work with a Japanese event?

Not sure about this either, but I'm leaning towards, "Yes."

I'm always happy to help a new member ^_^.

Thank you! ^_^

I am hoping Bulbanews or somebody can translate something more concrete for me before I leave, it'd be so awesome to be able to participate in a Pokemon event! I've...well, never been able to before. ^_^

There are four events in Tokyo this summer: the movie premiere (July 14), the new Pokémon Center opening (July 20) and Pokémon Festa 2007 (August 3 - 5, but not in Tokyo proper) and Pikachu the Live (August 7).

My visit is going to be short. The Pokemon Center one is JUST after I leave, and the rest are WAY out of my reach. Thanks for the info, though. If I get stranded in Tokyo for a bit longer for some reason(a guy can only hope), I might check out the new Pokemon center. =p

If you want to learn some fast basic japanese, I recommend the book, th basics of japanese (or something like that) or heres a site.

If you can learn hiragana, and have a dictionary, you should be able to halfway get by.
