Limited Innovation of the Current Film Industry Should be Embraced for Cultural Unity
Talk to people well-versed in pop culture of the 1990s and early 2000s and one would find few people that have not heard of Pokemon. The Japanese anime became a global phenomenon, sparking countless translated reruns of the original (and still ongoing) TV series, video games, and movies.

For Pokemon, despite the continued introduction of new characters, the tired storyline of adventuring Pokemon trainers seeking new friends and victories can no longer excite some of the original fans.
