Well, this is it, folks. The 22nd film to make an appearance in the Pokémon franchise finally has a title. In a 2019 line-up presentation on Thursday by film distributer TOHO, Mew Two's Counterattack Evolution (Mew Two no Gyakushū Evolution) was announced and given a 12th of July 2019 opening date in Japan.
This film's title serves as a reference to Pokemon: The First Movie, which opened in Japan two whole decades ago in 1998 - how time flies. A trailer for this film was already played at screenings of this year's film, Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us (Gekijōban Pocket Monster: Minna no Monogatari), which aired on an eerily similar July 13th in Japan, and came in swinging by opening in 2nd place at the Japanese Box office.
Whilst I have a personal soft spot for Pokemon 2000 over Pokemon: The First Movie, I'm feeling excited about a Mew Two centred movie again and will be keen to catch this when it eventually escapes the east and hits our shores. Until then, however, we'll have to be patient as we wait for more details.
