| Whelp, I wanted to wait until next week to unveil this, but with chaos on the horizon for me I figured I should get the ball rolling now while things are a bit calmer. IT'S TIME FOR THE EVER FIRST MAY/HARUKA EVENT (May Month was less of an event and more of a festival) As always, the goal of this club is to spread the aMAYzingness of May to our fellow MAL users, as well as to anyone we meet in real life. This of course will apply to our events as well. For this month we'll keep it simple: Write a review on MAL of the Pokemon Advanced Generations series or your favorite Pokemon movie that feature May! Our normal conversations regarding May can get lost and forgotten in a hectic day, but these reviews will last forever to be seen by everyone! There are no requirements regarding length - just make sure to spend at least a little time making it clear to the audience truly incredible our heroine is! I will set up a separate thread where we can post rough drafts of our reviews if people would like to look over each other's work before we post it officially to MAL. Be sure to share a link to your final review when it is done we can upvote it to the top and get our pro-May reviews seen by as many people as possible. If you have any questions regarding this community event feel free to ask below or message me directly via DM or by leaving a comment on my profile. Due date is end of July! Now let's tell the world about what a blessing May is to us all! |

| You can review the games if you want, but make sure to give May the positive attention she deserves. There's no spot on MAL to do it, so you'd have to put it on some other website! That said, now is the perfect time to start watching the Advanced Gen series or to watch one of the movies! We're not really a shipping club, but a club that discusses and shares with others about how incredible May is. I don't really care if you're shipping her with anyone, but please keep the lewdness to a minimal (May is great character because of her personality and character traits - not her 10 year old body). Also if you watch the show you can find a certain someone that is 1000x a better match for May than Steven could ever be. |

Well, if you can recommend me anything that works as standalone, that would be cool to get acquainted with May and the other Pokémon characters. I'm not too on board with starting anything long, though... |

Well, if you can recommend me anything that works as standalone, that would be cool to get acquainted with May and the other Pokémon characters. I'm not too on board with starting anything long, though... The movies are pretty much all stand-alone. Pokemon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea is unofficially May's movie, so it's always an easy recommendation. Pokemon Jirachi Wish Maker is a hard to find movie I haven't seen yet, so that's the one I'd most be interested in getting a review for. Supposedly it is unofficially Max's movie, though, and Max is a huge schlub. |

| Head's up folks! Can you believe July is almost over? The goal was to have these done by month's end, but feel free to take extra time if you need! Better to do a fantastic job than a great job! |
|
| It's August, which means all of your stellar reviews are due today! If you need some more time though, I completely understand (it's been a hectic month for me too DX ) If you need any help with your review let me or a different Mayrionette know and I'm sure we'll be able to lend you a hand! |
|
| Heads up, folks! There's a new review of the Pokemon anime out there, and I must say it does a good job of giving May her due! https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=454846 When you're done with your review be sure to post a link to it here so we can read and upvote it! |

| @Orange_is_White I was thinking of reporting you to the mods for harassment on my profile with Pokémon images, but I ended up watching the damn movie. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but turns out it was pretty fun! Also, weirdly, it feels like I might've seen some of it before on TV, but probably not in full and not when I was old enough to remember it. I say this because I remember Manaphy's appearance and crying, and because a couple Pokémon movies aired here when I was a kid. Well, anyway, I see now why you recommended this one, since May plays an important role in it. Could be even more important, though! I thought it would be cool if, in that segment when Ash is trying to get the final crystal to the temple, Manaphy used the same skill of before to switch Ash with May and have her save him from drowning. But that would be overshadowing our MC, and we can't have that, right? XD This kind of story where someone becomes a creature's "mother" after a egg hatches reminds me of Disney comics, for some reason. Actually, the whole experience of watching this movie made me remember a bunch of things I did, watched or read when I was younger. It's simple, but it has adventure, emotion and a nice concept — Jackie had that whole Indiana Jones vibe going! Only the Water folk "lore" and the villains could be more interesting (the Phantom, not the Rocket Team. I love that trio). Probably because I was kinda comparing it to Atlanta and The Road to El Dorado, but I guess I shouldn't expect that much from a movie that aims for a much younger demographic, after all. |
| I agree, May has a sizeable role, but it should have been bigger. It's ridiculous that Ash has to try and save the day when it's *May's* movie! Jackie was a cool addition even if he didn't do too much. I wish Pokemon Rangers appeared more in the TV show or other movies. I can see how Manaphys crying could get on some nerves, but it's too cute to hate! |
