Movie 20 Website Updates with Riddle to Commemmorate the Start of the Tie-In Real Dasshutsu Game
The official Pokémon movie website has updated. Translations follow:
A riddle has been set up at the official Pokémon movie website
to commemorate the start of the Real Dasshutsu Game "Escape from Houou's Trial",
which commemorates the premiere of "Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You!"!!
The Rainbow Feather has disappeared from the official movie website.
If you touch the missing feather, a treasure chest and four keys will appear.
Solve the riddles to obtain the four keys,
then retrieve the Rainbow Feather that someone sealed away!
What is the Real Dasshutsu Game/Pokémon the Movie 20 crossover "Escape from Houou's Trial"?
This is a personal experience-type game event set in permanent Real Dasshutsu Game establishments and the cities they are located in,
where you solve riddles scattered throughout the city one after another together with Pokémon.
Players become rookie Pokémon Trainers,
choose their first Partner Pokémon from "Fushigidane", "Zenigame" and "Hitokage",
then set off on an adventure.
(There are no time limits, so you can play at your own pace)
Since you can choose between two courses, the "Professor Course" and the "Trainer Course", which vary in difficulty, the game can of course be played by adults that want to genuinely challenge themselves, but also by children.
The codebreaker kit you get handed when you set off on your adventure also comes with a binder sporting an original design,
which you can't get anywhere else!
Ticket prices:
Normal pre-order ticket: 2500 yen
Student pre-order ticket (high school+): 2000 yen
Child pre-order ticket (Grade school to middle school): 1250 yen
Normal same-day ticket: 3000 yen
Student same-day ticket (high school+): 2500 yen
Child same-day ticket (Grade school to middle school): 1750 yen

*Same-day tickets are handled through Scrap Ticket or at the reception desk the day you want to play.
*If pre-order tickets were sold out, we will not sell same-day tickets for that day.
Story:
"There were youths like you once",
the old man said as he opened a worn-out old book.
"......"The legendary Houou swoops down on the mountain of the trial,
bestowing the title of True Pokémon Trainer upon those carrying wisdom and courage." So the old legend goes."
Your goal is to become a True Pokémon Trainer,
so you set your sights on Mount Tensei, where Houou is said to appear,
together with the Pokémon you've made your partners.
And once you reached the summit,
your entire being was put to test before the holy pedestal...!
Can you manage to solve every riddle,
and then summon the legendary Houou?

The official Pokémon movie website has updated. Translations follow:
A public dubbing event took place somewhere in Tokyo Wednesday June 15th.
Present on stage were Kanata Hongo, the voice of Soji, Shiori Sato, the voice of Makoto, Koichi Yamadera, the voice of Marshadow, Shoko Nakagawa, the voice of Joy, Arata Furuta, the voice of Bonji, and Director Yuyama.
Sato went to see the very first movie in the theater as a child. This time, she plays the lively and masculine Makoto.
She had trouble getting the running scene right, and had to practice it many times.
Hongo liked Pokémon so much as a kid he wouldn't go play outside on the days it aired on TV. He performs his role as Soji, the boy with a calm exterior hiding true passion, with great skill.
He spoke of his role with the line "I can now die without any regrets", which made the other actors laugh heartily.
Nakagawa is playing in her 11th Pokémon movie this year, and performs a passionate portrayal of Joy, whom she greatly admires. Her performance was so perfect the director even called it "the very image of Joy".
"I've made use of my 11 years of experience and the director's words in every single moment of my life to turn my entire life into Pokémon", she said with passion in her voice.
Furuta was told to "make his performance more excited" and instantly switched gears, playing a Bonji that was profound, yet at the same time overflowing with excitement. Furuta has said he doesn't use his natural speaking voice when voice acting, but he did exactly that this time, and commented that "It actually made me feel really awkward".
Yamadera has played in 20 movies in a row so far, and this time he's in charge of Marshadow's voice. "I have less lines this time than I've ever had before, but it's also my most difficult role so far", he said. He goes on to say he tried various methods in order to follow the difficult instructions he was given, like "It shouldn't sound normal, it shouldn't sound like a voice" and "Make the sound come from your respiratory tract". During the dubbing, he gave us a strange tone of voice that contained both two and three sounds at the same time, which impressed everyone present, the director included.
The session concluded with everyone playing a finger pointing game based on the movie's title "I Choose You!": "If you had to choose one of the guest voice actors to be your travelmate, who would you choose?"
The guest voice actors went "Won't that just cause arguments later?" and "Are you really making us do this? (laughs)" with bitter smiles on their faces.
The end result was that Nakagawa, Yamadera and Furuta pointed to Hongo, Sato pointed to Furuta, and Director Yuyama pointed to Yamadera.
There's only one month left until the movie premieres! Make sure to check out the passionate performances from all the guest voice actors in the theater!!
