Pokemon X and Y News: Details on 'Cocoon of Destruction' Movie Emerge

By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Monday, January 13, 2014

New details have emerged on the "Cocoon of Destruction" movie which will be based on the wildly popular game and anime Pokemon X and Y.

Japanese magazine CoroCoro confirmed that the movie will feature an epic battle between two legendary Pokemon featured in X and Y with Xerneas and Yveltal going head to head.

Fans of the series will also be given a chance to vote on what kind of bonus gift they want to come with an advanced ticket purchase. They will be given four Pokemon to choose from including Jirachi, Darkraim, Manaphy and Victini. The promotion will only be available for the Japanese showing, which will start on July 19, 2014.

The Pokemon X and Y games are now the official versions for Nintendo's championship series.

The company announced that it is leaving behind Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 as the premier games for the Pokemon World Championships.

It also stated that its plans for this year's series will come into play in the U.S. during this month. This is the first time the championships have been held since the Pokemon X and Y games were released and they give players a chance to compete against one another for accolades.

Nintendo will hold five regional events this month and the winner will receive trophies and the opportunity to enter into the U.S. National Championships and potentially the 2014 World Championships, which will be held this August in Washington D.C.

These events are open to the public and anyone who owns a 3DS and a copy of Pokemon X or Y can enter into the contest. The championships also feature Pokemon trading card-game competitions for those who do not want to play the 3DS game.
