The official Pokémon movie blog has updated. We have added a section collecting every single blog entry for easy browsing. Translations of the new entry follows:
It's the fourth day of scouting.
Our first destination was the roof of an apartment complex near the hotel we were staying at.
This was the highest building in the neighborhood and gave us a 360 degree view of the streets of Dubai.
Beyond the apartment complexes and commercial buildings, we could see strangely shaped skyscrapers rise up in the distance.
When we turned towards the sea, we could see the artificial archipelago Palm Jumeirah sitting in the Arabian Gulf.
Opposite of it, we saw the Emirates Towers.
And beyond that, the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
Today, we were finally going to go there.
We took the completely automatically run Dubai Metro to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Station.
When we arrived there and got off the train, we could see the Burj Khalifa rising into the Heavens right before our eyes!
It looked soaring high from where we were standing, yet we still had a kilometer to walk before we'd get to it.
It's so high you end up loosing your sense of distance.
Wanting to avoid the scorching sunlight, we took the indoor route through Dubai Mall to the Burj Khalifa.
Dubai Mall is the largest shopping mall in the entire world.
It's about 23 times the size of the Tokyo Dome!
The mall also houses the world's largest aquarium, Dubai Aquarium. This aquarium is so big even Kyogre would be able to swim comfortably in it.
As we were walking through the mall, we starting thinking about just how many world records Dubai actually has.
We then suddenly spotted the Guinness World Records displayed at the entrance to a book store!
It seems this is a question that ends up on everyone's minds...
We wandered around the Dubai Mall for a while.
Eventually, we somehow ended up at the foot of the Burj Khalifa.
"The Burj Khalifa"
The Burj Khalifa, or /ˈbɜrdʒ kəˈliːfə/ as English-speakers pronounce it, is the tallest building in the entire world.
Its total height is 828 meters!
This is the landmark of Dubai.
It design is based on a flower called Hymenocallis, which grows in the desert.
We were going scouting here today because it's possible to view the Dubai cityscape as the sun goes down and night falls from the Burj Khalifa observation deck.
The Burj Khalifa is at its busiest at this point of the day, so we had to struggle a bit to make it to the observation deck before sunset!
How was the view from the top of the world's tallest building going to be!?
Unfortunately, Dubai was suffering from a sandstorm that day.
The view we had been looking forward to was shrouded in a white blur.
While we were unable to see the the cityscape brilliantly shine in the sunset, the buildings towering inside the cloak of blowing sand gave the scene a mysterious and fascianting atmosphere.
We might base a scene in the movie on this experience.
Bit by bit, night fell, and as the lights in the city got turned on, the sandstorm cleared up in an instant, giving us a beautiful view of nighttime Dubai.

We'll tell you even before you ask us about whatever... We're Musashi!
Kojiro!
And Nyarth!
Your friends from the Rocket Gang!
-The Rocket Gang (Musashi, Kojiro and Nyarth),
"The Emperor of the Crystal Tower, Entei ", 2000
The knockback from Entei's fierce attack results in Satoshi being about to fall off the Crystal Tower.
Takeshi and Kasumi immediately reach out to grab him, but so does the Rocket Gang.
Despite being enemies, they've all been together for a long time, so they somehow just completely spontaneously have these words make it out of their mouths.
This quote was submitted by "may", who included the following comment:
I really like this set of lines from when the Rocket Gang lend Satoshi a hand halfway through "The Emperor of the Crystal Tower, Entei ".
I think it's one of those really good quotes (laughs)
Thank you for your contribution!

Movie 18 Blog Updates with Third Event Report
The official Pokémon movie blog has updated. Translations of the new entry follows:
"Getta Banban", the opening theme to the anime TV series "Pocket Monsters XY", was playing on the stage monitor before the show started, as both children and many fans were all eagerly awaiting Tomohisa Sako's appearance.
Finally, the show started!
The lady hosting the show briefly introduced Sako as he made his way onto the stage!
Sako was asked what his favorite Pokémon was and replied "Tyltalis".
The show then started with a performance of "Kirakira", the song that accompanies "Getta Banban"!
"Kirakira" is written as a letter from Citron to Satoshi, and the friendly singing voice fits Citron's image perfectly!
Next, we got a presentation of the movie "The Archdjinni of Rings: Hoopa", which premieres in just one month!
And while we were watching the trailer alongside everyone...
We presented the Tokyo Toy Show 2015 Takara Tomy Booth-exclusive question to "Hoopa's Appear! Quiz"
Sako then gave out a valuable hint for the question.
"An exclusive hint just for those of you gathered here today..."
There will be another question tomorrow, on the 21st, which you can find at the Takara Tomy Booth's Pokemon Tretta Corner, so make sure to go there and find out the solution!
Next, it was finally time for the "Pokemon Tretta" segment!
We did a presentation of the "Special Hoopa Pokémon Tretta" you'll receive when you go see "The Archdjinni of Rings Hoopa" in the theater!
Its black metallic color is really cool! We also showed off the special "Appear!" move it can use!
*This tretta will be given to 3 million attendants nationwide. Distribution will end once supplies are exhausted.
*There is no age limit to receiving the tretta.
*The special Hoopa Pokémon tretta that's being distributed can be used starting with the "Pokémon Tretta Ultimate #3" update, which will be installed starting Thursday July 16th.
For more details on the "Special Hoopa Pokémon Tretta" being distributed, see this page!
Sako then rushed over to be the first to play "Pokémon Tretta Ultimate #3"!
A highly motivated Sako said it was because "I'm aiming towards becoming a Pokémon Sommelier!"
The game started with the familiar cry "Get! Pokémon Tretta!"
Finally, Sako performed what the crowd had been waiting for: Getta Banban!
Wanting the children in the audience to dance along, he went over the dance steps with them before the performance!
"Getta Banban"
The show ended with a bang, as everyone cheerfully sang along!
The Tokyo Toy Show 2015 continues tomorrow, Sunday the 21st, as well!
There will be a "Special Pokémon the Movie XY Stage Show" held at the Takara Tomy booth, where Rei Yasuda, performer of "Tweedia", the theme song to "The Archdjinni of Rings: Hoopa", and Little Glee Monster, performers of "Gaogao All Stars", the theme song to the short, will appear!

Movie 18 Blog Updates with Tenth Scouting Report
The official Pokémon movie blog has updated. We have added a section collecting every single blog entry for easy browsing. Translations of the new entry follows:
After the balloon trip, the scouting team returned to the hotel again.
Since we had left very early that morning, we rested there until noon.
Wanting to get even more out of the desert, we went into the red sand regions that afternoon.
This was truly going to be day dedicated to the desert.
We rode in five land cruisers, and set off to an area further southeast from the place we had been riding the balloon through that morning!
From the cars, we could see the red desert area come into view.
Once we got there, we had to leave the cars as our drivers started making preparations for going further into the desert. This was done by taking the air out of the tires!
This is a clever method to prevent the tires from getting stuck in the soft sand.
We gently touched the desert sand, and indeed - the grains felt fine and soft.
The desert we saw from the balloon had a whitish color, but the desert sand in this area contained iron, which gave it a red color.
While we were waiting for the drivers to finish their preparations, we took a short walk through the area, spotting some Sodom's Apples blooming all by themselves at the entrance to the desert.
Once the preparations on all five cars were done, we once again got on board. Let's Driving!
The cars were roaring around in all directions, up and down the trackless path, making us feel like we were on an amusement park ride.
The guidebook was definitely right when it said "motion sickness pills are a must!"
Our bodies were constantly shaking from this thrilling(?) off-road drive.
When the cars finally stopped, we found ourselves on top of a sand dune that stretched on all the way into the horizon.
For some reason, this all felt very strange.
The scenery was such a sharp contrast from our everyday life that we felt like we'd entered a painting.
Yet there we were, very much standing in that landscape.
It was a completely silent world.
The soft sand was delicately dancing about in the air, piling up on the camera.
Despite constantly worrying about sand getting into the lens, we were enthusiastically snapping photos of the patterns the wind had drawn in the sand.
We wanted to get footage of the sun setting into the desert as well, so we started our trip back towards the desert entrance in good time so we'd make sure to get there for that.
Just like our trip into the desert, our trip back consisted of wild and crazy off-road driving.
Brimming with hospitality, the drivers were eager to a point where we wondered if they weren't overdoing it, but eventually one of the cars got its tires stuck in the sand!
We somehow managed to escape... or so we thought, but shortly after we were stuck again!! This time the car had fallen completely into a valley of sand dunes.
By the time we finally managed to pull the car loose with a rope, it had become dark all around us.
We left out a breath of relief as we left the desert and got back onto a paved road again.
It was pitch black all around us, and we were really happy we weren't left out in the desert right now.
It really felt like we had returned to the real world again.
