Monsters The Origin
The special was announced at the Pokemon Game Show (ポケモンゲームショー), an event held in Tokyo, Japan on August 17th - 18th, 2013.
The tagline for this special is "To everyone who played Pocket Monsters Red & Green" (「ポケットモンスター赤・緑」を遊んだみんなへ).
Unlike every other animated special that's aired up to this point, this one is airing on a Wednesday evening, not a Thursday.
The special is being divided into four "reports," or episodes:
For the days leading up to the broadcast of the special, the official Japanese Pokemon Twitter posted well-known quotes from the Red and Green games to serve as a countdown to the special's airing. All four of these quotes ended up being used in the special.
The official Japanese Pokemon Twitter also claimed that new information regarding the video games Pocket Monsters X & Y will be revealed during the broadcast of Pocket Monsters The Origin. That new information ended up being the official reveal of Mega Lizardon X, a Mega Evolution for Lizardon exclusive to Pocket Monsters X.
Pocket Monsters The
Origin will be released on both DVD and Blu-ray on December 4th, 2013.
Music from Pocket Monsters The Origin will be included in the soundtrack for the Pocket Monsters X & Y video games, Nintendo 3DS Pokemon X & Y Super Music Collection.
