A new news article has been posted!
The official Pokémon movie website has added a new blog site where background information on the movie and other similar material will be posted. Translations of the currently added entries follow:
Pokémon the Movie XY 2: "The Archdjinni of Rings: Hoopa" premieres this summer.
It's set in "Désser City", a desert city.
We wanted Desser City to be an urban city lined with tall, modern buildings despite being surrounded by desert.
The place Director Yuyama chose to collect material from for this movie was "Dubai".
Dubai is a big city located in the middle of a flat desert, overlooking the Persian Gulf!
It's a leading city in terms of both trade, transport and tourism and is lined with huge skyscrapers, including the famous "Burj Khalifa", the tallest building in the world.
But what kind of journey did we have while location scouting?
If you read this report while picturing the scenes you've seen from "The Archdjinni of Rings: Hoopa", you might enjoy the movie even more.
Before we set off to Dubai, let's talk a little about the city:
Dubai is one of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The UAE is what we call a "federal state", a country that consists of a total of 7 individual emirates, including Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Dubai holds world records in a number of fields!
In addition to being the location of the world's tallest building, as mentioned earlier (the Burj Khalifa), it also has the world's largest fountain, the world's largest artificial island, and the list goes on...!
It takes advantage of being the best in the world at so many things and has become a global tourist destination and a major resort city.
"A dazzling city-state filled with skyscrapers, Dubai can proudly proclaim itself the single most prosperous place in the Middle East (source: Wikipedia)"
Wow, that's so cool!
It's a desert metropolis.
The scouting team, led by Director Yuyama, set off for Dubai in mid-September, while the previous movie, "The Cocoon of Destruction and Diancie" was still screening in theaters.
At 30 minutes past midnight, they boarded Flight EK313 from Haneda to the Emirates for their approx. 11 hour 30 minutes ride.
They arrived at Dubai International Airport at 6:15am local time, nearly exactly on schedule.
A young man who discovered the "Prison Bottle" said to have sealed Hoopa's powers one hundred years ago.
Mary's older brother, featuring very dignified and manly facial expressions. He is played by Tatsuya Fujiwara!
