This trailer was leaked to the internet a cupple of hours/days ago. I think there is no conformation if it is real and by a studio, a fake or the a fan film. It´s looking pritty decent from what you can make out... seems a bit to violent with the guns n all, or did pokemon ever have violence besides the monsters? a Carbombing? Seriusly?

Might be somewhat related to the tokio game show.

Yea, the massive amounts of guns and explosions seems out of place. I'm not sure what it's like nowadays in terms of the show but I remember reading about a 'banned' episode where someone points a gun at Ash.

If that's real I will eat Ash's hat.

[Herr Matzat]

If that's real I will eat Ash's hat.

I´ll write that one down.

[Katsuya]

The Squirtle in it looks fucking disturbing. Plus, the end shot looks eerily like the Pokemon caption in the opening credits to the Orange League season.

[Sousa]

Hey, look at that.

You want to eat that hat instead, Matzat?

Jessie is smoking hot, though. Me-owth. That's right.

I'm trying to think of some euphemism that involves the words "Blasting Off", but I'm blanking.

Worst part of that link;

"When the Transformers generation grew up, their childish cartoon was turned into a dark, violent movie series"

Except that, you know, the current movies aren't half as dark or violent as the original Transformers movie was, and insult my intelligence a hell of a lot more.

Nah, i questiond it´s realety in the first place. I just would love to see you eat Hat!

For real. I was watching the old Transformers movie at my friend's house a couple weekends ago and I forgot just how devastating that movie was to my childself.

Quentin Tarantino presents: Pokemon.

[The One Bad Ass Outlaw]

That Onix looks cool as fuck.

Here's the full "trailer":

I do have to say, if this was real, I'd probably watch it, and I didn't even like Pokemon.

[Colossus]

That looks awesome. I would watch it

[thatblindgeye]

That looks...

Horrible.

I think there is a reason why anime's/animated shows, for the most part, shouldnt be turned into live action movies. That "trailer" is reason enough as to why Pokemon shouldn't be, at least as far as trying to 'adult' the thing goes.
