The Anime News Service is reporting that the official Pocket Monsters Website in Japan has announced a 10th Anniversary Pokemon Movie, Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl, which is in production and due out in Japan in July 2007.  A tenth Pokemon TV anime series, also known as Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl, will debut on Japanese TV this fall.

The Pokemon property, while certainly not the phenomenon it once was, has demonstrated remarkable longevity (see 'Pokemon, The Energizer Bunny').  While the Pokemon movies remain the biggest-grossing anime releases of all time (the first movie earned $85.7 million and the second $43.7 million), the more recent entries in the series have gone straight to DVD (where, thanks to strong mass market sales, they still do well in comparison to most anime DVD releases).
