I certainly wouldn't mind. I mean look at Digimon. While I haven't seen Season 3, it went in a dark direction and it benefited from this. I can vouch for the grimdark in season 2 though. God it got even more grim near the end.

Nope. But it is IMO a little weird to say (for instance): "Hey, you know what would make Smash Bros even better? Fatalities!"
Oh my god that made me laugh so hard. Thank you.

Pokemon is for kids, OP. It's okay for adults to like stuff that's targeted at kids, but it's a little weird when you insist that it be targeted at you instead.
Yeah, I immediately thought "I grew out of the targeted audience, but I still want to be the target audience." Sorry, OP, but you aren't who they go after anymore.

"I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm afraid you have stage IV cancer. You're going to have to make a difficult choice between keeping the baby, or taking chemotherapy."

"Pika?"


...Is all I could think of. I thought the pokemon series was quite good (cheesy, but decent). I'd be more interested in a better game, rather than a clone of something that hasn't really changed since the 90's.

I don't think I want dark edgy Pokemon. To much stuff is already dark and edgy. It's nice to have something like Pokemon to bring a little happiness.

The original Pokemon anime is an insult to it's viewers really. It's just so bad, just because it's a kid show, doesn't mean that it needs to be of such low quality writing and character development.

That being said, like the Transformers, He-Man, My Little Pony and Thundercats (both new and old) cartoons, they are series made to sell toys. Some are arguably of higher quality than the other (MLP: Friendship is Magic has a higher writing standard than Transformers: Energon), but the goal is ALWAYS the same.

Sell. More. Toys.

With that in mind, it's hard to argue that Pokemon did not succeed in doing so. I would love to a more 'mature' Pokemon cartoon that doesn't treat it's viewer as a drooling retard, but I highly doubt it would happen. As much as I would want it to.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm sick of having everything "dark and edgy" these days.

This is going to come off as jerk-shaped, I can feel it. But I say it out of concern for your own good.

Pokemon isn't made for you; it's made for kids who will then talk their parents into buying merchandise. You were probably once one of those kids. But your body has grown up; you'd probably better follow its lead and know better than to expect the show to instead. As sad as that might make you, you'll be better off not putting your hopes and desires into such a thing anyway.

Mature Pokemon. So it's a petition to bring back the old school Digimon? [sub]HAR HAR![/sub]

Yeah sorry never really watched that much Pokemon. As you can probably guess, I was more of a digimon kid.
God I loved that show.

But hey, I wish you all the luck with this petition.

That looked like the same goofy as shit Pokémon I saw when I was a kid.

Oh, but this one has smug characters, now it's edgy.

Making it more like the Pokemon Manga would be enough. In it Team rocket is more than just pushovers and i like the main characters a lot more.

Anyways, i'm not american either way.

NO. Y U WANT THIS?

Seriously, it's just a kids show. Would Yu-gi-Oh be any better if people got decapitated if they lost a duel?

Come to think of it, it probably would. But my point stands!

... so I'm the only one who thought that the topic title was a request for some kind of Pokemon hentai then?

... and yet I clicked it anyway. I'm not sure which of those is more worrying.
