So the 13th Pokemon movie is set to come out in Japan soon.
General information can be found on www.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net
So boring things like the synopsis can be read from there.
Now, let's look at the art direction behind the movie, and the elements that make up this movie.
Damos, one of the protagonists of the movie. Let's look at his character design. His clothes are modelled after the Greeks, wearing a toga and sandals. The toga is not white, but a warm creamy color that's a little darker than his light skin tone.
Looking at his hair, he stands out amongst most pokemon characters with long sideburns, thick eyebrows and hairy arms.
He has a muscular build as seem with his thick forearms and calves, but is not a gigantic man (his shoulders are a relatively normal size for a pokemon human).
His somewhat plain clothing emphasizes his necklace, which has a circular blue symbol. I'm not sure what meaning the symbol has at the moment.
This fellow here, Gishin, you guessed it, is the badguy, from the tip of his evil red hair to the bottom of his open toed sandals. Instead of blue and creamy colors, his pallet uses a dark red, greys and blacks. While Damos is dressed rather plainly, Gishin wears a decorated robe, sash and an elaborate headdress. His frame is thinner, and the length of his arms emphasized by horizontal bands. Gishin's eyebrows are thin and pointed, and his pupils are smaller. All in all this is a bad guy lookin' badguy
Sheena is another character that appears in the 12th movie. She comes from the present time and is a descendant of Damos. You can tell by their similar eyebrows and complexion. The clothing colors are similar, but not exactly the same, hers are a cool tone compared to the warm creamy color Damos wears. The land this takes place in is called Michina, which resembles Greece. The screenwriters for this movie actually travelled to Greece to gather information.
