Wow, seriously? Fuck you guys. I mean were some of you born with out a sense of humor? I'd bet money some of you haters were the same kids at school who would get really angry in that annoying nasally voice whenever someone pronounced a Pokemon's name wrong or made up rules when playing the "official" card game.
It's satire, it's meant to be funny. I thought it was hilariously awesome. I don't see what the problem is here. It's really depressing that there are people who actually took this seriously.

The production values are too high to be a joke. They have a big bunch of Pokemon modelled and animated here.
You know that Zelda fan film? The one Nintendo shut down? Yeah that actually released and wasn't good...
If it IS a joke, then it worked.

Agreed with Dr Peace. To me, this is more like a joke video.

That said, I do think Apokelypse is funny, and it's been great at inspiring conversation. I have zero complaints about the video itself. It's what the video represents to me personally that I have some issue with.

This would be amazing if some of the Pokemon didn't look the way they did.. I mean if they made ALL of them look liked they should (and most did) it'd be fine but Pikachu looked like a crack addict and that's what killed it for me.
Otherwise I'd be totally happy to see this as "Pokemon's gritty future" where battles are sort of outlawed and have become like cockfights and organizations like team rocket are much more evil then they are in the games/cartoons. Even having Ash be at his wits end and deciding he needs to join team rocket because the things he's done seem to mean nothing in the world he's saved a million times is a nice twist.. Idk.. it could work if the pokemon were just done better.

Uhhh... if you can make a gory zombie book set in the Star Wars universe, why not a movie? That book was intense.
Death Troopers
Hilarious trailer, though. Loved it.

Looks like people are taking this more seriously than they are. This is comedy first and foremost. This movie isn't edgy for the sake of being dramatic. It's dark for the sake of humour.
Perhaps you could even interpret it as a satire on how Hollywood (and incidentally fan filmmakers) attempt to turn an inherently cheesy IPs into something to be taken with a degree seriousness.

Well this looks horrible but I do think that a live action Pokemon movie could be really successful. Although I have no idea how much weight the name still carries to the general public. It's been a long time since the '90s
>I don't think there is a way to do that without losing the essence of the original material. You can't make a movie where Kermit the Frog is a serial killer, you can't make a gory zombie movie set in the Star Wars universe, and you can't make a "realistic" Pokemon game.
Of course you can... in fact all of those sound pretty cool and would be a much needed shot of originality for the 2 franchises you listed which are endlessly repetitive and derivative (starwars and pokemon).
You say they'd be "losing the essence" but really dont you mean "losing the same old boring shit they've done a thousand times to milk their cashcow"?

Okay, you guys are seriously getting butthurt over this. I'll reiterate: this is a brilliant parody of the current trend of making our colorful animated series GRIMDARK, like what has been done with Dragonball and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

They're, y'know, being ironic, and it's only true love and understanding of the source material that can do that. I mean, Mewtwo is making Officer Jenny shoot herself in the head! Brock has his eyes closed and face bandages! The production values are high because they are professional and love their work.
