9th Logo (September 12, 2009-April 2, 2010)

Logo: Nearly the same as the Pokemon Platinum variant of the 8th logo, except it cuts to a scene of the ocean, then either Ho-Oh or Lugia flies towards the screen and the screen fades to white.

10th Logo (September 18, 2010-October 12, 2012)

Logo: On a black background, we see a bluish-white star with a trail. It then crashes into the spotlight, emitting in the cyan-pink cloud, forming the letters "G", "A", "M", "E", "F", "R", "E", "A" and "K". They form "G A M E---F R E A K", take place, and then the Game Freak symbol fades in from the left. The symbol then flashes and the words shine. Then the logo fades out.

FX/SFX: The star, the explosion, the words taking place and the fading. Concepted and animated by Game Freak designer and art director James Turner.

Music/Sounds: Ambient humming and futuristic sounds, such as laser sounds and an echoed glass shattering sound when the star explodes, then the ambient humming sound morphs into a choirs that abruptly changes to a logo jingle playing in reverse when the logo shines.

PRESENTED BY

G A M E F R E A K

13th Logo (November 21-28, 2014)

Logo: We pan across a forest with three Beautifly flying, and come across the pond, a Skitty and a Zigzaggon's tail are showing and then disappear. Then, the raindrop from the 5th logo flows down to the tip of the leaf and falls into the pond, and then 2 more drop, with PRESENTED BY fading in, followed by GAME FREAK and the Game Freak symbol on the left. The camera then pans to Mt. Chimney, fading out as Latias/Latios fly toward the mountain, segueing into the game's intro.
