Pokémon Apokélypse, a fan-made trailer portraying a “dark and gritty reboot” of Nintendo’s hugely successful Pokémon franchise has lately been proving hugely successful itself.
The official blurb, best imagined being rumbled in a suitably ridiculous Hollywood trailer narration:
Celadon City hasn’t been the same since the Gyms closed down. Pokémon fighting has gone underground, and the sport has gotten a taste for blood.
Ash, Misty, and Brock have been forced deep into the city’s seedy underbelly to keep training, but the Pokémon aren’t the only ones in danger.
Now, Ash must choose to either become a master in the grim world of illegal pokémon fighting, or make a desperate stand to free them all from the criminal grip of Rocket Industries.

pretty good maded
now i hate Teal Rocket even more ...
"Your balls are to small"
I lold with that message.
wooooow this neeeeds to be a reall movie!
Reality! I choose you!
the story is a bit too serious....
You can't ignore my girth!
this is how it should be a fanfiction project!
They should a had Pidgeot's dropping bombs, charazard burning shit, and randomly moltres comes outta nowhere and nukes half the city when Ash was running. . . yeah can you guys imagine that?
Claps hands!!!!
Brilliant fan trailer!
It's a live action Pokemon as if made by the same studio as did "Street Fighter" the movie.... But I LIKE IT!!! And I liked the real movie also...
Pokemon fits this formula better. It's a world that's supposedly realistic with bizarre almost surreal creatures forced in as "So what?" So the "Live Action" treatment carries better than trying to interpret the cartoon characters.
And, yeah, in "Real Life" Pokemon fighting would turn into "Underground Illegal Dogfighting" after years of mayhem. And for goodness sakes Ash didn't go to school chasing his Pokemon goals...
Anyone ever explore that tangent? How the whining PC groups screamed Pokemon was a vanilla form of "Dog Fighting"? And that was the time when the Feds and local Pigs started cracking down hard on that time honored tradition, mostly to seize money and property like bandits, they euthanized all the animals because the cost of caring for them quickly ate up their theft.
I preferred if Digimon become like this..They certainly qualified as 'monsters' compared to Pokemon lol
Imagine Wargreymon nuking the whole europe with Terra Force or Omnimon divided a continent in two using Transcendent Sword...
Na, Digimon and dark/gritty isn't working at all, just look at the fail season three was.
Also, Digimon gets a live-action remake, it'll become the new Bible for all those despicable furfags.
DO NOT WANT
OMFG! That was Pikachu?! I mean I always hated that yellow rat but even I wouldn't let it get so malnourished.
Yeah, it's corny but what ain't. I give it a thumbs up =D
LOL
First rule of Poke-fight Club:
NEVER talk about Poke-fight Club.
looks like mortal kombat or something
The pokemon design's a laugh but the acting, the story and the script, I'll give thumbs up. A serious turn like this sometimes quite good, though.
Purely malicious Mewtwo that force ppl into a headshot using psychic, Squirtle's shell got busted,Pikachu battle-scarred...oh yeah...
And gun-slinging team rocket...Now THAT'S trouble...
I'd watch this.
WTF is this....
Rated M for mature...
That ain't in the trailer, but it should be!!!!
And the catch phrase in the end is awesome...
Laughing the entire time.
This reminds me of the "There Will Be Brawl" series that was made a while back.
looks pretty serious.
Anyone who doesn't enjoy this trailer either:
A. Has high standards
or
B. Had no tv in the late 90's.
Considering some of the ppl on this site, definitely not A.
LOL, I j/k.
It's one of the best live-action parodies I've seen so far. However, it doesn't hold a candle to "There Will Be Brawl."
or
C. Too ignorant to notice that this is a fanmade parody.
This shit sucks ass!
lol 0:17 sign in lower right says "balls are too small"
Cannot stop laughing XD
Pretty good though.
This beats the special effects in several Hollywood movies *cough*Spider-man*cough*
Misty looks manly and fat.
Disgusting.
Do not want.
lol, actually I think the could be a real movie XD, just ditch some of the cutesy pokemons and go with badass pokemons ;d.
and pikachu looks quite weak T_T
The "trailer" it self is freaking funny. It will be disturbing though if a company actually takes this, and then tries to make it into a movie. Of course it does look better then DB:E.
when i saw this the first time, i laughed so hard when Ash said "i choose you" to Misty hahaha
Ahhh.... The story take abrupt turn... he-he-he... I think it will be not bad block baster, heh.
"When i have got them all" Awesome! xD
i'd watch it
Fucking Ash this is fucking movie lol this shit Pikachu looks like a lazy cat haahahha....
This is sooooo epic its not even funny. This is awesome!
lol, hilarious
good fan made, but the story is pure shit
lol what the fuck is this shit?
glad it's fan made otherwise no just no :|
shits cool..
Oh my god... this gonna makes the kids cry.
This is gunna make kids cry, Adults raving mad (more than usual) and... since when was ash so manly? and misty so ugly? fml XD
Even if this was the worst movie ever Pokemon fans would be like "OMG THIS IS SO EPIC" I am not a fan of Pokemon nor will I ever be "again" but I have to say the music playing was FREAKEN EPIC
PS:anyone else noticed the pink jigglypuff thing pull dancing.
I don't usually speak this phrase, but today I speak it with all my heart. FUND IT!!
omfg this looks FREAKIN' EPIC! :D
except the pokemon animation could have been better~
boysit animal yawa gag0 pota ang director mamatay ka boysit pangit kaayo
Where is rival?
I fucking love this.
