San Francisco, CA, November 25, 2013 –
VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), the largest distributor and licensor of
anime and manga in North America, gives POKÉMON fans something brand new
in time for the holidays as it announces the release of the DVD and
manga editions of POKÉMOn THE MOVIE: GENESECT AND THE LEGEND AWAKENED on December 3rd.
The
single-disc DVD release of the feature film is rated ‘TV-Y7’ and will
carry an MSRP of $19.97 U.S. / $24.98 CAN. While supplies last, copies
of the DVD will include a POKÉMON trading card as a special bonus for
collectors. The manga adaptation of POKÉMOn THE MOVIE: GENESECT AND THE LEGEND AWAKENED

When
big trouble threatens the big city, it’s up to Ash, Pikachu, and their
friends to stop it! A vast Pokémon habitat amid the hustle and bustle of
the big city seems like the perfect new home for a group of five
Genesect. The arrival of these Mythical Pokémon quickly becomes a
problem, though: their nest threatens the city’s power supply, and they
keep attacking anyone who approaches it. On top of that, they’ve
attracted the attention of the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, who sympathizes
with them because its own origins also involve human tampering. Their
leader, a red Genesect, doesn’t trust Mewtwo, and their confrontation
quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two
powerful Pokémon before they destroy the city?
“When a group of mythical and powerful Genesect Pokémon suddenly
reappear in the world and threatens the city, it will be up to Ash and
Pikachu to save the day!” says Charlene Ingram, Senior Manager,
Animation Marketing. “GENESECT AND THE LEGEND AWAKENED is the latest film in the legendary POKÉMON
movie storyline, and fans will want to be sure to join the fun with
Ash, Pikachu and other favorite characters in these fun new DVD and
manga editions that will be available to fans in time for the holidays!”
