The 8th Pokémon movie has been announced, apparently entitled, Mew And The Wave Guiding Hero. Is it just me, or are they going crazy with movies now? The first Pokémon movie was a massive success, despite the questionable quality of it all. However, it's never topped that since, and has instead declined. Why do they pursue in making a new movie every year or so, it seems? Japan only had the 7th movie released in summer last year. We haven't even had the 6th yet.
Speaking of which, the movie backlog used to be pretty clean, a Pokémon movie was released in each area in a fair amount of time. Now we (or, at least, Europe, I'm not entirely sure about North America) are two movies behind! It's just crazy.
I personally don't think Pokémon justifies 8 movies anyway, it's not that I don't like Pokémon or anything, but I haven't even seen from 4 onwards, because the stories between 1-3 were so similar it was just dull, "Ash is chosen hero and only he can save the world from the enemy". Your basic good versus evil story, it's so clichéd. Ash and co are the good guys and the bad guys are usually Team x and Pokémon y.
If they could come up with something original for once, I might consider watching it, but even at these early stages, it looks doubtful. Anyone else's thoughts?
