I'm assuming you mean America theaters, well, no. They used to, but now, first they show them in japanese theaters, where it was created, but I'm pretty sure they then go to Cartoon Network, as TV airings, and then DVD's, or i think the other way around for the DVD and TV release. But it's unlikely that they'll go to American theaters again.
 
Very doubtful, outside of Japan anyways... You see, despite still having a fairly strong fanbase, the overall demand for Pokemon-related things in the US and other countries has dwindled signficantly since the initial launch of Red and Blue, and even more so since Gold and Silver. As Playerking said, Pokemon movies are mostly just premiered on Cartoon Network nowadays and then go straight to DVD (much like a lot of made-for-TV movies or independant films are in the States).
 
I wish they would come back to theaters, but it just seems like they will just be in theaters in Japan. From now on the movies will just premier on Cartoon Network and release on DVD.
 
Yeah but really movies just premiering on Cartoon Network isn't so bad.
1. You don't have leave your house.
2. It's free.
3. You can record it and have it forever.
 
Yeah, Typhlosion. In retrospect, I always hated going out to the movies period. Nobody really wanted to go with me when they did premier in theaters, and I was too embarassed to go by myself. So when they started just showing them on TV, that took a bit of a burden off me; though, I still go out and buy the DVDs when they come out.
 
Best you can hope for is a one day theater release. Other than that, it will never happen. The theater business is dying, pokemon movies aren't good to begin with, and they wouldn't generate enough income to be worth it. Airing at leagues would be cool, though.
 
Yeah. Does the new DVD contain any TCG cards in it? That's one of the main reasons I liked it in theaters.
 
I think the last Movie to have a TCG card was Jirachi wishmaker, And I think Pokemon 2000 had an unown J. They haven't given TCG cards in any recent releases, however.
 
I wish, the last movies to have a release in theaters (in the US) were the 4th and 5th movies, and I think it was a very limited release. I couldn't even go to see them because the nearest theater showing them wasn't nearby. I had to wait for the DVD. It was such an awesome time in my childhood though, going to see Pokemon movies in theaters. I'll remember seeing the first three movies, getting the cards, and having a bunch of Pokefans all crowded in the theater forever.
