Movie 19 blog and Celebrity Pokémon Fans' "I Choose You" updates with twentyfirst installments
The official Pokémon movie website has updated the movie blog and "Celebrity Pokémon Fans' "I Choose You"". Translations follow:
When I first saw it, it felt like fate. Especially the head area.
The "Pokémon Election 720" runs for another 2 days.
Have you guys all voted already?
I've decided to go back to the very basics of an election!
A huge turnabout isn't done in one day.
Votes are gained with actual legwork!
What? Okutank will beat me at that since it has so many legs?
That's not what I meant!
What I meant was that I will go around and talk to every voter one by one,
asking them to vote for me.
How are you?
Give a vote to me.
Please.
Please give me a voooote!

The official Pokémon movie website has updated the movie blog and "Celebrity Pokémon Fans' "I Choose You"". Translations follow:
I've been drawing a manga that features a Pippi as a protagonist for over 20 years now... At this point, I and Pippi are one in body and soul. I am Pippi, or no, maybe Pippi is me...?
Golden Week is break time!
But the anime TV series "Pocket Monsters XY&Z" isn't taking a break!
Today is a day you can vote via the data broadcast, too!
This final TV anime data broadcast might lead to a huge turnabout!
My miracle depends on you guys sitting in front of the TV!
You may end up enjoying the anime so much you forget to vote,
So decide which Pokémon you're going to vote for before the episode starts!
If you have a "Pokémon Zukan Z", you can check up on
the 720 Pokémon running in the "Pokémon Elections 720" there.
Please give me a voooote!

It's cool and strong, just like a kaiju. Sandstorm rules!
Have you voted in the "Pokémon Elections 720" yet?
What? You haven't!?
You just can't remember the name of the Pokémon you want to vote for, no matter how hard you try?
Well, try describing your favorite Pokémon to me.
I'll tell you what it's called.
Okay, so it has a yellow circle on its forehead?
(My coin is yellow)
And it has sharp claws?
(My claws are super sharp)
And its name starts with an N?
(It's me!)
What? And its body is black, with one of its ears being red?
...
......
...It's called a "Nyula".
So yeah, you can go give a vote to Nyula! (cries)
The Search for a Pokémon to vote for page has a variety of search methods too, so you're sure to find the Pokémon you wanted to vote!

The official Pokémon movie website has updated the movie blog and "Celebrity Pokémon Fans' "I Choose You"". Translations follow:
It's been my favorite Pokémon ever since the first games: I love how cool looking its body shape is and how it's the fastest swimmer of them all. I wish I could make it shoot a Hyper Beam in real life.
Shortly after the Rayquaza-class panorama display appeared at JR Ikebukuro Station,
posters appeared at Hibiya Station as well!
They're at Hibiya Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line!
A long row of posters at the platform for Naka-Meguro-bound trains are now "Pokémon Election 720" posters!
It's incredible! There's a total of 15 posters featuring 48 Pokémon each, thus having all 720 Pokémon running in the "Pokémon Elections 720" between them!
It'd be nice if people with no idea what Pokémon to vote for were to send in a vote for a Pokémon that just happen to catch their eye on one of the posters.
Of course, it'd also be nice if they voted for me.
Don't hold back, now!!
Please give me a voooote!

If I'm ranked 720th, that means I have to overtake 719 Pokémon.
Just what rank do I have!?

Ah! I was having a nightmare...
