A franchise milked like a cow

Sup,

It's been over a decade since Ash Ketchum and Pikachu left Pallet town on his quest to become a Pokemon Master. Did Team Rocket ever really blast off? Did Brock ever open his eyes? Did Pikachu ever evolve? And most importantly, did he manage to catch 'em all??

Um... apparently not.

The TWELFTH feature film in the long running franchise, 'Arceus: To The Conquering of Space and Time', managed to rack up 2,384,198 pre-sold tickets before its release on July 18th, earning itself a place int eh Guinness book of records. That's 2.3 MILLION pre-orders for a Pokemon film.

Nintendo must be laughing all the way to the bank...

I remember seeing the original series and the first couple of films, but after that Pokemon, for me, just slipped away and died in a corner. I played Pokemon fire red on the Gameboy and I enjoyed it, but I honestly can't believe that Pokemon is still alive and kicking.

Nothing like milking a franchise.
