Poll: Could Pokemon do Horror?

[Segadroid]

They scared me enough already with their ridiculous Pokémon. I mean come on, how long does this f*cking last? I remember the first time I saw the first series, and that was several years ago! Y don't they step off this creature that is growing way too fast in my opinion!

 

[magicmonkeybars]

I don't know if it'll be scary but it'll be funny.

Well, maybe Pokemon could do horror.

Bear with me here, I've never played a Pokemon game in my life and know almost nothing about it, but - isn't there some pokemon, an insectile one with a hole in it's back or something, that according to legend can steal your soul if you look into it? Well, just make that real. And those ones that wear a skull on their head? Make it a human skull, and show one brutally murder somebody to get their skull.

See, not so far-fetched, is it?

The one with the skull is already disturbing, considering that it wears it's mother's skull.

Oh, and not sure if you did it intentionally, but there is a Pokemon called Farfetch'd

I hate myself for knowing this, the one that wears it's mother's skull is Cubone, it evolves into Marrowak.

Y'know, they could.. In a sense.

I think that this is a very plausible solution. But also, what if they did something where the bad guys actually succeeded in their plans? Like if Team Rocket actualy got their shit together, and took over the world?
Or maybe what if there was some kind of apocalypse? Like the bad guys launched a nuke, and blew up everything, and all the creatures mutated?
Or the Heroes find themselves in an abandoned lab of some kind, that has wild experiments gon awry?

Those would be good ideas for bringing horror to the show, but it's too fluffy like a marshmallow to do that right now.

 

[Sindre1]

Absolutely.
But they wont.

 

[Jeronus]

Too much cuteness! They couldn't pull off horror without coming across as just a funny parody. I must say that Nurse Joy with a cleaver does sound exciting. I mean there are so damn many of them and one of them goes fucking insane. She could kill other Nurse Joys and take their places to evade the law.

 

[BloodyOne]

Here's another idea; Geovanni tries to take over the world again, this time with brainwashed Pokemon. These Pokemon kill...
It can start out as an action/gore, and then as the world falls into the depths of Oblivion, a survival horror, trying to evade the new, bloodthirsty Pokemon.

OH YEAH, ans Scyther goes on a rampage when he sees red right? Blood is red...

Nurse Joy with a cleaver sounds interesting~ But really, I think it could only work if someone completely independent from the Pokemon staff pulls it off. It's gotta be someone intent on utterly rehashing the Pokemon universe

I would love to do it as a Summer or College project, but I have no idea how to animate or script. I still have a ways to go.

Anybody know any more contradictions of existence?
