This Ain't Your Kid's Pokemon.




  • Imagine waking up one morning to find a mouse has built a nest in your medicine cabinet. Now imagine waking up to a feral mouse a foot tall shooting off lightning in your room.



  • Imagine walking through a forest when you suddenly feel the ground shudder as the very trees in front of you fall before a ten foot Venusaur. You know running is futile but attempt it anyhow, only running a few feet before a vine as thick as a large sapling wraps around you and bashes you against the ground. You bleed heavily, but remain concious as it brings you to it's mouth and swallows you.



  • Imagine walking through a swamp when the slime suddenly quivers beneath you and begins to rise, surronding you. You struggle helplessly against it, only to find that your limbs are firmly glued to your body. The Muk finishes enveloping you and then lays down to digest.



  • Imagine riding a burning steed alongside a river where eight foot Dratini(s?) jump in the sparkling waters.



To save the franchise it must be a hollywood movie, directed by the best (that means not George Lucas. Have you seen the new movie previews?) made in live-action with a HUGE special effects budget. It needs an original storyline without the old beloved characters. It needs action and danger at levels around pg-13. Most importantly pokemon need to be humongous monsters with little or no thinking ability.

That would be a (insert adjective here) movie. At that rate don't even call it pokemon.

Reogan said...

So you're saying we can't call it Pocket Monsters: Unleashed!....

Maybe... The Golden Apocalypse? (See the post coming on Wednesday)

Met said...

I'll take the pokemon golden apocalypse title from the wensday post.

I can envision the previews already. A misty morning in a forest. Birds are singing, when suddenly a beautiful Butterfree flies by, brilliant in contrast to the forests fog-dulled leaves. It glides towards the side when a Pidgeot swoops down, shredding it's wings. It perches in a tree to begin to devour it when an Ekans coils around it, and squeezes the breath from it's body. As the bird struggles they fall to the ground and are crushed by the foot of a Blastoise battling a Charizard. A Venasaur thunders out of the forest to defend it's territory. They battle for a moment, then get turned towards the camera blasting it with both fire and water. Then the voiceover: Pokemon: Golden Apocalypse. Coming to Theatres an Imax July 17th.

That's good, but I still don't get why it's golden.

Reogan said...

Ahh, that would reveal the plot.




(And it sounds cool.)

Meta Knight said...

It would be like the transformation of the original cartoon transformers to the awesome pg-13 transformers movie

Don't use Ash in the movie! No one wants a 16 year old kid who still has a girl playing his voice.

Reogan said...

Nope, not Ash. It should be someone who could stand a chance against those Pokemon.

Like the Governator.




Or Chuck Norris!!!
