A cute Pikachu Special that'll be fun to watch but, sadly, may never see the light of day in the U.S... Sad

You might want to warn of spoilers in the image, since many of the Pokemon are shown as having evolved here when they haven't in the anime yet. In particular:

spoiler[Satoshi's (Ash) Keromatsu (Froakie)] just evolved in this week's episode, spoiler[Citron's (Clemont) Luxio] is shown to have evolved, spoiler[Serena's Fokko (Fennekin)] looks to have evolved, and spoiler[Musashi's (Jesse) Bakeccha (Pumpkaboo)] is especially a new surprise evolution that no one had even speculated before this poster.

Is it really spoiler to show an image of evolved pokemon? Watching the show it is not obvious which episodes the pokemon will evolve in, but it is expected that most of them will evolve.

That Berserk moon comparison is funny. That would be an awkward crossover.

The questions always pop up whether or not some of the main crew's Pokemon will evolve by the time the League hits. Of Satoshi's (Ash) evolvable Pokemon from the original series up to the end of BWS2da!, 15 of them evolved all the way, 4 of them evolved, but not all the way (including his Hinoarashi/Cyndaquil, which didn't evolve until it was brought back right before the D&P League), and 11 of them didn't evolve at all, making the ones that haven't evolved all the way barely outnumber the ones that have by just over half. And spoiler[None of Team Rocket's Pokemon have evolved since Yanyanma (Yanma), and before that, it was only Dokucale (Dustox).] Thus, it's pretty spoilerific to reveal changes in the team that will happen by Summer 2015.

But you have to be weary that some pokemon might belong to a movie specific character and not from the show.

Yeah but the poster seems to match their current preevolved teams and such, and if they were movie character's, they'd go for the cuter preevolved ones for cuteness and merch appeal....

It's the short poster, and the shorts only include Pokemon. We already guessed spoiler[Rentrar (Luxray)] and spoiler[Fokko (Fennekin)] because of a cake photo of promotional artwork posted by the director a while ago (he whited out the spoilers, but their shape and placement in the context of the show and some limbs showing gave us plenty of evidence to support our speculation). As for the spoiler[Pumpjin (Gourgeist)], we can assume it's spoiler[Team Rocket's] because of the placement in the promo image. It makes very little sense to have a new one in there without its pre-evo if it's not the pre-evo itself.
