Why no movie for Ho-oh?

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Seriously,almost every mascot legendary and even non-legendary pokemon got their own movie.But there is still no movie for Ho-oh???

 

Ho-oh played a significant rule in Johto's mythology more than Lugia did,yet Lugia got his own movie but Ho-oh didn't.

 

Ho-oh is one of the most mysterious legendary Pokemon in the franchise yet little to no attention is payed to it.

 

 

 

I WANT MY HO-OH MOVIE!!!!

[Farrac 27]

I'm with you, pal

[Sora96 17,256]

I always wondered this.

[Kurama 171]

Oh yeah....

[President Yoshi 313]

actually its the opposite. ho oh had an extreme amount of attention going towards it during the johto tv series. lugia on the other hand even though its ho oh's equal, they didnt put much info on it. so thats why they did a movie and made him look bad ass. ho oh was constantly being referenced and shown in the tv series, but not lugia( compared to other mascots.) thats why. im my opinion, the franchise gave waaaay to much attention to it.

Simple. Because Ho-Oh's firetrucking mainstream.

 

But really though, since it got around 60% of most attention in the TV series/anime I guess they didnt bother to make a movie for this badass. Aside that it was shown in a few frames of movies like Lucario and the Mystery of Mew so...

Not to mention a Raikou movie.

There is a Raikou movie but it's a special episode of 1 hour that stars Gold(Not Ash,Gold) from Gold&Silver,IT's titled:Raikou the legend of thunder

 

It's with the Pokemom Chronicles lost episodes but I beg  you:WATCH A SUB VERSION OF IT WITH THE JAPANESE DUB.THE ENGLISH DUB FOR IT IS HORRIBLE

I've seen it but still i don't count it among the movies of the franchise and still hope for a movie with Raikou in it.

I could have sworn I remember Serebii posting a pic on Ho-oh and Lugia fighting each other do something like a teaser, but it never happened. (I think it was after Arceus movie)

I think you saw a picture from Johto Journeys opening. In the beginning Ho-oh and Lugia fly in rival-way.

Nope. Notice I said after a movie. That's way too early. After some googling...youtube.com/watch?v=YPK-nwpHY1M (Wth it wouldn't let me post the whole link, so C+P)Looks like the idea was scrapped or saved for later, but I doubt it for the latter. Edited May 31, 2013 by OmegaForte

I think you refer to the opening of the Dialga Vs Palkia:The Rise of Darkrai movie.The opening had the star Pokemon of every movie before that one,including Lugia and a very short appearance for Ho-oh

Since people are so lazy to even copy+paste, I'll repost this as I'm on my laptop now. Hopefully you guys aren't lazy to click play either:

 

 

And I don't even watch all these movie and still know about this. smh

 

Note this was suppose to be for movie 13, but like I said before, either scrapped or saved it for a future movie. (Yet still leaning on that they scrapped it for the Zoroark movie)

This seems legit,too bad they replaced it with Zoroark.I love Zoroark and I understand the 13th movie was kinda a hint to Black and White.

 

But I think it won't made sense for Ho-oh and Lugia to clash in Sinnoh instead of their home region they're in charge of:Johto.They still could've made the movie at the time since HeartGoldSoulSilver was ALSO released in 2010 so the release of the movie could've promoted them,but I guess they scrapped the idea since the release of Black and White in Japan at the time was close and they needed a movie to promote it and choosed Zororak,who turned out to be one of N's Pokemon later.

[Rob 5,571]

Ho-oh is meant to guide Ash. Thats pretty much how I see it.

Sooooo,you believe the theory of Ho-oh granting Ash eternal youth and happiness and that's why Ash didn't age????

True, but then we have Mewtwo coming from Kanto going to Unova. (Sure Mewbuu has a purpose to go there since it sensed Genesect?) I do hope they didn't scrap this idea and do keep it in Johto however.

The reason Mewtwo and his new form are coming is because of something related to Pokemon X&Y and a hint on how you can change his form after you catch it.Also,Mewtwo was already travelling around the Pokemon world as we've seen in the special Mewtwo's Return episode(which got released in the US as a movie as far as I can remember)so it wouldn't be a surprise that he went to Unova.

Same can be said for Ho-oh. Doesn't it travel every where besides Johto? Like you said before, they were probably making it due to HGSS. I keep forgetting the story writer's logic is mind boggling, that's if they gave any logic. (Satoshi being 10 years old the biggest) Edited June 1, 2013 by OmegaForte

Well,at least the games has some logic unlike the anime,as for Ash,I read in Bulbapedia that he's 13 now but I still think he's 10

I'd want that, but no. lol I just see Ho-oh as figure meant to guide Ash to new regions.

[Dio Brando 5,810]

But Ash was never aware of Ho-oh's departure to neither Hoenn nor Sinnoh,same goes for Ho-oh.Why Ho-oh would guide Ash of all trainers in the Pokemon world??? If there is someone Ho-oh is supposed to guide.I want it to be either Gold(from the Raikou Legend of Thunder OVA) or N

Well, there was the 3 episode arc with Lugia and its baby in the series too so Lugia did get a tiny bit more than Ho-Oh did.. The same could be said about Raikou though. Entei featured in Pokemon 3 and Suicune had its arc in the series too. But no love for Raikou.
