The thirteenth movie

Although the Zoroark movie may play on the tour, it is also getting a TV debut on CITV. No dates have been announced yet, but the movie is likely to air in February, at the conclusion of the Diamond & Pearl anime series and before the launch of Black and White Versions.

Zoroark: Master of Illusions had similar treatment: it was shown on Cartoon Network last Sunday.
