Pokémon-The 1st Movie

Pokémon-The 1st Movie

Okay, I will admit it. I have seen this movie the first day it was in theaters (on my birthday, Nov. 10) and I liked it. Yes, I am losing it. However, I look back at the day, and I realized I only went to see it for two reasons: The card they gave away at the movie (I got a Mewtwo without even trying) and the chance to see Mew. Isn't that why everybody went? The story was pretty interesting, even if it was Pokemon. It went something like this: A team of mad scientists create a new Pokemon using the DNA of Mew, the rarest Pokemon on earth. He is trained by the leader of the oh-so-retarded Team Rocket so he can become the toughest Pokemon on earth. He eventually finds out that he is nothing more than a mere clone, and destroys the lab where he was living. I think he killed a few people, but WB wouldn't show it anyway. Getting back on track, Mewtwo scouts out the toughest trainers so he can make clones of their Pokemon and take over the world. And I thought he just had an inferiority complex. Note-Spoilers Ahead! He succeeds at cloning a truckload of Pokemon, when suddenly Mew appears and starts fighting Mewtwo. The two duke it out, until they both end up staring each other down in the center of the arena. Mewtwo and Mew shoot Psychic Blasts at each other, when that idiot Ash gets in the middle and gets the stoning of his life-uh, literally. The Pokemon start to cry and Ash is brought back to life. Mewtwo realizes that even though he was born to be a killing machine, he doesn't have to fulfill that destiny. Ash lets him go, instead of capturing him, what he SHOULD have done in the first place. Ash is suddenly transported to a Pokecenter, and forgets all about his encounter with Mewtwo and Mew.
Notice that I didn't talk about the Pikachu's Vacation short at the beginning. Why? Because it was stupid. Charizard gets his head stuck in a pipe. HA HA HA! I wish I would have thought of that.
