Pokemonday and Tuesday

I decided to watch the first 8 Pokemon movies the other day. I've seen the first four, but I don't remember them that well. They're fun, and I loved the Pokemon show, as well as the card game. These are my summaries of those movies. I'll watch the second 4 at some point, but after the 4th movie I really stop knowing what any Pokemon is.

Mewtwo Strikes Back: An evil corporation clones one of the most adorable and silly Pokemon in the world, gives it an unimaginative name and only teaches it to hate. Ash is turned to stone, everyone cries at him and he's turned back, and no one ever talks about it ever again.

Pokemon The Movie: 2000: In which Ash saves the world, gets scolded by his mum, then goes back to winning badges because that is his purpose and everything else is a side quest. Slowking could use pants.

The Spell of the Unknown: In which a little girl gets Batman'd, gains psychic Pokemon, and Ash almost loses because all he has are Basic Pokemon. He is then saved by his only evolved Pokemon, who usually hates him.

Pokemon 4Ever: Celebi- Voice of the Forest: In which the title is super long and unnecessary and a boy with a terrible haircut is almost in the plot of The Adventurers Down Under but then time travels to avoid that. A Pokemon hunter figures out how to infuse harmful moral decisions into a Pokeball and instead of selling the technology off for millions continues to hunt Pokemon in a giant four-legged robot. After going through the tunnel from Spirited Away, Ash and his friends end up in Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke". Professor Oak never tells anyone that he traveled through time once and Ash tells Past Oak to invent a Pokedex.
