A press release has stated that there will be a new Pokemon in the eleventh movie: Giratina and the Bouquet of the Icy Sky: Shaymin!!! It is seen as a question mark right now, but most likely it is a fifth generation Pokemon. Here’s why:
1. The only D/P Pokemon that has not been released is Arceus, and Arceus will probably be in the 12th movie, and not the 11th.
2. Munchlax first appeared a long time before Diamond and Pearl came out.
3. Most likely this will be, again, something like a pre-evolution so we can recognize it, just like we all knew that Munchlax was some sort of baby form of Snorlax, or Bonsly and Mime Jr.
4. Regigigas, Shaymin, Giratina, and Dialga have already been revealed to be major characters, and it appears that this Pokemon is a minor character – again, like Munchlax.
5. On the other hand, it COULD be a special Opal Pokemon (if there is an Opal Version), like Giratina: Origin Form might be.
Here is a picture. Look on the panel to the right, below Normal Giratina, diagonal from Origin Form Giratina, and to the right of Shaymin.
EDIT: THIS IS AN OLD POST. THE POKEMON WAS REVEALED TO BE SHAYMIN SKY FORM. THEREFORE, IT WAS NOT A FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON AS PREDICTED.
IF THERE IS ANY UPDATED INFORMATION ON FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON, I’LL POST IT.
CASE CLOSED.
EDIT 2: On February 6/7 (depending on time zone), 2010, the first 5th generation Pokemon’s silhouette was revealed in Pokemon Sunday. Click here to see it!
EDIT 3: On February 10, 2010, the first two 5th generation Pokemon were revealed in CoroCoro: Zoarark (the star of the 13th movie and the previously silhouetted Pokemon) and its preevolution, Zorua. Click here to see the first 5th generation Pokemon!
EDIT 4: By now (May 29, 2010), both the starters Tsutaja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru and the mascot legendaries Reshiram and Zekron have been revealed, as well as a release date or Spring 2011 in the U.S.

Umm… Get your facts straight, take a look on serebii.net’s pokedex, shayming is number 492, he’s fourth gen, I have him on my game, it’s a really well known fact. Heh, Nintendo tried to hide the last three legendaries, but Pokemon World magasine gave them in their Japanese pokedex for D/P.

Shaymin is not the new pokemon!!!!! It is before Arceus. So which means that it is isn’t part of the new gen. Cause i have it on my Peral ver lvl 100!
By: Naruto on May 24, 2008

wow does it matter if itslv. 100.. i dont think so. your acting like a kid.

hi people looking for the first and second gen starter pokemons willing to trade third and fourth starters for them. Just let me know if you can and we can trade friend codes or whatever then we can trade that way.

To clear up everything: THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT SHAYMIN!!!!! It is about two DIFFERENT, NEW POKEMON known as POKEMON A and POKEMON B. SHAYMIN, GIRATINA, AND REGIGIGAS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REVEALED in the movie.
Hope that helps.
PS. Yes, Shaymin is a 4th Gen Pokemon and you can catch it in D/P. But that misses the point.

well, in the movie, there relly will be a *new* pokemon, though maybe not 5th gen. Giratina has a new form, called “Orgin Form” that almost looks like a snake. if u dont believe me, next year there will be a new game for the DS, Pokemon Platinum, which is a continuation of D/P. In it, i believe that Team Galactic is after Giratina Orgin Form. and there will be another new game, Pokemon Ranger Battonage, due to release in the last 3 months of this year. (Oct, Nov, Dec)
Hope i helped!!

Look on Serebi net (at any pokemon) Look at the top and there will be Shatmin Sky form, Giratina Origin Form and some mysterious shadows which could be Fifth Generation……… (They look like Unown evolutions to me!)

The mystery pokemon wasn’t a 5th generation one, it was a special Pichu called the Notched-Ear Pichu. One of it’s ears is a little different. You can check it out on Serebii.

Well,this is my opinion:
1st gen:electabuzz,magmar,jynx
2nd gen:Elekid,Magby,smochum
4th gen:electivire,magmortar,
i think nintendo want to show the evo of jynx for the fifth gen

SHAYMIN IS ALREADY REVEALED. THE NEW MOVIE HAS HIM. Arceus WILL be in the eleventh movie, info about it has leaked. Look it up.
P.S. I have a shaymin on diamond and they had an event so you can get to shaymins on d/p.

Well, Arceus turned out to be in the TWELFTH movie, and like that, this post was old and predicting a future event too.
By: Shdowgroudon on July 4, 2009

Does anyone know when they will have events to get shaymin and darkrai in platinum? please reply if you know.
P.S. all of you who want to know about the eleventh movie, go to bulbapedia.com. It rocks.

No, bulbapedia.BULBAGARDEN.NET rocks. =D
Yes, but at this time the events have already passed, unless you mean the Member’s Card and Oak’s Letter. Those have not been released yet (outside of Japan), nor is there any news of their release as of yet.

You’re right, it turned out to be Shaymin Sky Form, which was not a 5th generation Pokemon.

FOR THE LAST TIME: THE “5th GEN POKEMON” TURNED OUT TO BE SHAYMIN SKY FORM!!!!!!!!

well…first came Mew, the ancestor of pokemon. Then Kyogre and Groudon…the rulers of water and earth respectively. Then the Johto ones…(sorry, haven’t played johto)
and then arceus, the ruler of everything. I think it will be hard to find something that is more powerful then arceus.
i do not think there will be gen. 5.
