"Kesshou Tou no Teiou" ("Emperor of the Crystal Tower") and "Pichuu to Pikachuu" ("Pichu and Pikachu") debuted in Japan on July 8th, 2000 and was the #3 movie in Japan on its opening weekend. At the end of the movie was a brief preview of Movie #4 and of the Nintendo 64 game Pocket Monsters Stadium 3.

The movie came to American theatres as "Pokemon 3 The Movie" on April 6, 2001. "Emperor of the Crystal Tower" was renamed "Spell of the Unown" and "Pichu and Pikachu" was renamed "Pikachu and Pichu." The movie had very little advertising (compared to the huge advertising campaigns that existed for the first two movies) and placed the lowest on its opening weekend of the three movies.

Pocket Monsters was not created by me. It was created by Satoshi Tajiri and the crew at TV-Tokyo. Pokemon is (c) Game Freak, Nintendo, 4Kids Productions, Hasbro, Bandai, and a ton of other companies. When you have a popular anime like Pokemon, lots of people own it so it's impossible to list every company who owns a piece of Pokemon. No infringement of copyrights is meant by the creation of the web site. All images were gotten from official websites (Nintendo, TV-Tokyo, etc.) unless otherwise noted (I don't steal images from other sites!).
