I am hoping to target the Teen and Adult audiences, who may love/hate Pokemon but still remember it and the great times they had. Thus targeting the somewhat younger generations (the teens) the audience will not be a bunch of raving fanboy toddlers and have a somewhat open mind.Zombie_Fish said:

I've been yearning a more serious pokemon TV show, maybe not necessarily horror. That bring the real world into pokemon, what real life would be like if pokemon existed. Which in turn since our world is a horror show, so yeah it would be amazing!
How about a movie or game about how Pokemon take over the world? They infiltrate society and are used to battle each other, but the regions where they roam are not limited by adaptability, instead they are quarantined by other nations and thought of as a semi-hostile alien force that is attempting to take over the world. After the events of the Pokemon Movies (near Apocalyptic events, huge explosions, mind controlled armies, ect...) the nations of the world decide to remove the dangerous threat to civilization. War ensues.chickenlord said:
Could it or would it?
Could? Yes anything could. That is the main staple of why horror is so popular besides the main principles of the genre. In other less stupid words the only reason horror works is that anything can become scary and that the human mind will become scary.
Would it? Not by the creators. It is a kids game.

Well I think it could. I mean you're always told to walk through some dark cave at some point, right? SO you'd be walking through this cave, and occasional bat things squeeking and stuff. And then out of no where an onix erupts from the ground and crushes you! Or baing chased through a house or somthing by the ghosts, or the woods by some other strange critter....
You'd have to redesign the art of course, but with the proper feel to it it could be done.

Definitely not with the current format, you can see all the bad guys coming. And even if they get the jump on you, they can't exactly do anything until the battle screen loads up.
And then... turn based battling! Yipes! I can think of nothing scarier.
Besides, no matter how much we all love it, Pokemon is for kids. Their major appeal is that they're cute. Give them gats and they'd still look cute, but in a gangsta kind of way
Just had an idea! Quicktime events! that would be good for tension.

If they do it seriously (same factor as Higurashi) then maybe... but it would definitely have to be an 18 (justified) to be any good, and they wouldn't go for that.
I think they could. I mean, have you seen the back story on Cubone?

Pretty morbid stuff. Horror is just scary morbid. Not to mention, the idea of poket monsters that we barely understand running around wielding the power of the freaking cosmos is pretty scary in itself.
