Before the release of the upcoming Pokemon movie, a new distribution event has been announced featuring the mysterious Hoopa.

According to Serebii, "Pokemon Art Academy" will be offering a downloadable template for Hoopa between Feb. 20 and April 17 for Pokemon fans in Japan.

This distribution event will serve as part of a contest where fans can draw Hoopa, and the winner will receive a special edition Nintendo 3DS featuring Kyogre or Groudon. In addition, the winner's artwork for Hoopa will also appear in the credits of the upcoming Pokemon movie!

Recently, it was confirmed that in addition to Hoopa, other legendaries will appear in the upcoming movie including Lugia, Latias, Latios, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Regigigas, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem and Arceus. However, while this list of Pokemon is obtainable in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, one of them is not.

"Ho-oh is missing and Arceus is the only legendary that is not caught in [Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]," commented Arranos on PokeJungle.

"Is it possible we'll see all of the legendaries of [Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire] in this? Will Deoxys also appear?"

One possible explanation for this could be that the Pokemon movie will coincide with a distribution event featuring Arceus to promote the movie, much like Diancie with last year's Pokemon movie.

Reportedly, this Arceus will be distributed when fans pre-book the movie tickets in Japan, and will come with the moves Judgment, Black Burn, Hydro Cannon and Earth Power. This legendary Pokemon will also hold the Silk Scarf or one of its plates.

According to Serebii, this distribution event will occur if fans pre-book tickets between March 7 to July 17 and will be redeemable immediately instantly until Aug. 31.
