    I would unironically pay money to see this as a full movie
  • Throwing a rare candy down the Arbok's throat so the Magikarp in its stomach would evolve into a Gyarados is just... EPIC!!!

    "You have given your life for an f**king animal!" "Not an animal... a friend." That hit hard

    There’s a ketchup bottle on his grave that’s the big takeaway of this short film

    I think the most shocking thing is that Charizard is actually cooperating
  • @VegitoBlue941
    I'm just imagining Arceus sitting up there eating giant popcorn and be like: "This shit is great"
  • If this was a entire full movie, I would pay to see this, and the movie would probably make millions or even billions

    I’m usually not a fan of overly-grimdark mockeries like this, but it does have some interesting ideas. Speculation: when Pikachu finally pops up near the end of the movie, he’s going to be the only one who’s drawn in the normal Pokémon style. This symbolizes not only that his disappearance caused Ash to become disillusioned, but also that he might wind up being the one to defeat Ash and at least symbolically allow things to start returning to more or less as before. Though that assumes that Ash is portrayed as at least mostly in the wrong; maybe the movie makes a switch from deconstruction to reconstruction at some point, emphasizing how Pokemon have a natural instinct for fighting and how regulated battles let them satisfy their desire without harming anyone and growing their relationship with their master (maybe reminding Ash of how much Pikachu and others fought for him), mocking Ash’s and the movie in general’s excessive grim darkness and immature attempts at being mature (“When I was a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -CS Lewis), and generally showing how beautiful the world of Pokemon can be for both children and adults, nostalgic and new.
  • You know the ironic thing is, saying "We hope NOT to see you again" at a pokemom center is less threatening and how it should be
  • @MrGRmask
    Adi did the one thing which the anime didn't: make Ash age.
