> [@Manatee](#): > > **PokeMonster** > Ash’s eyes open REALLY wide when he collects the rarest “pocket monster” of all: a topless Halle Berry. I think that paves the way for a _very_ different string of ‘pocket monster’ jokes. I did a whole long page of movies like this once. None involved cartoons, but maybe I can cheat and sneak this in: _2001: A Muppets from Space Odyssey_ When a strange, shrieking monolith is discovered on the moon, Gonzo is sent to the planet Jupiter to learn the source of its secrets. His only companion (and greatest foe) is the computer HAL-9000. Stanley Kubrick directs. And now that I look at the page, a friend of mine actually came up with that one. Oh well. ---
