The English trailer for the newest Pokémon film has been released and it's atrocious! I haven't heard such bad dubbing for awhile and I feel like this is either on purpose or plain laziness. I stopped watching Pokémon a few years ago but the series is still popular to this day and permitting this horrible dubbing feels disrespectful to the Pokémon brand. The trailer did reveal the official English title, "Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages".
Check out the trailer below. The 2000th film will premiere in Japan on July 18th.
The 70-minute animated movie takes Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to a desert city by the sea. Here they meet the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, which has the ability to summon things—including people and Pokémon—through its magic rings.
After a scary incident, they learn of a story about a brave hero who stopped the rampage of a terrifying Pokémon long ago. Now, the threat that has been bottled up for years is in danger of breaking loose again! Can Ash help his new friend overcome the darkness within…or will a dangerous secret erupt into a clash of legends?
