They usually involve one or more of the legendary Pokémon as the central role of the chapter. The following are the movies, to date, in the Advance Frontier series;


 * 1) Mewtwo: The Awakening (September 2013)

Trivia

 * The series was named after the Light and Dark of Hora mythology, Lagralia and Sacrelivo. They also are named in accordance to ; symbolizing the dichotomy of good and evil.
 * In Freesia Town: Gateway to the Hora Region, two trainers in Freesia Town's Pokémon Center make a reference to the in-game events surrounding in Pokémon: Silver, Gold, and Crystal, as well as Pokémon: Heart Gold and Soul Silver, suggesting that game events are canon to this series. This has been all but confirmed due to sharing a continuity with Songs of Victory, which regards the games events as canon.
 * Mewtwo: The Awakening is the only chapter in which Silus nor any of the other main cast appear. It is also the first chapter on the wiki to display Mega Evolution, which, at the time, was a new concept introduced by Generation VI.
 * Waking the Titans Part 1 is the first time three characters are featured as characters-of-the-day. It is also the first time a legendary Pokémon is featured as a character-of-the-day.
