Pokemon is currently telling the story of Ash Ketchum as he joins the Masters 8 and comes closer than ever before to achieving his dream of becoming the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world. With Pokemon continuing to release a steady stream of films that further explore the world of pocket monsters, a Pokemon Film Festival is set to hit Japan later this year, allowing fans to vote on which movies they want to see hit the big screen once again.
