Truly impressed with this video. The other entries are funny but I feel like these guys put forth more effort.

 

[Mr. Blond]

i'm not a pokemon fan but this was mildly entertaining...i would probably lose intrest if they just stuck to the pokemon universe though

 

[Colossus08]

this looks awesome! a really cool take on a long time favorite game of mine. should be able to continue for a while if it is done correctly

I enjoyed it and did make me laugh. Only one to do so. You got my vote, best of luck. I enjoyed it, espically the new take on Team Rocket and Jesse and James.

 

[comadorcrack]

Eyy, I like it.
Very Ironic with a bit of dry wit.
Good times. Hope it wins. =D

 

[DRMaddock]

Not going to lie, that was a little bit epic.

 

[natnarly]

Great production values. It's about time we saw the kind of damage pokemon would do in a real-world scenario! Looking forward to more episodes.

 

[Woem]

This is indeed impressive. Won't there be any legal issues with a Pokemon copyright infringement though?

 

[Angrypudding]

After consideration and viewing of top 10 I decided I like this one the best, even though I'm not the biggest Pokemon fan, this looks like it has most potential, great effects, music, longevity (isn't there like a billion different Pokemon? I think we saw 2 in this vid) Plus I like the dark Humor and the take on Team Rocket. I hated Team Rocket in the cartoon but my favorite scene in this was the Team Rocket, creepy and original.

 

[Shockware]

I love the attention to detail in almost every shot. The reflection in the glasses with the lightning during the first attack is fantastic!

 

[messy]

A mix of doomsday arcade and let there be brawl in my opinion and I loved it

 

[Random Argument Man]

I liked it. However, I'm wondering if we will see some "pokemon" if you guys win.

 

[Archemetis]

I gotta admit, once There Will be Brawl concludes people may well be looking for another series spin-off of a Nintendo Franchise.

I can see this filling the gap.

I'm not at all saying that this is only good as a replacement for TWBB, Far from that.

This is honestly very a very interesting and seemingly fleshed out idea.
Although I can't say I'm particularly impressed with the basic premise as I'm starting to imagine it. (Ash, after becoming a recluse from some experience with the Pokémon is called in once again to fight the creatures that have for some reason become "evil" and in order to fight them he has to catch them all over again.)

Hopefully though this will present that idea in increasingly interesting ways, like that show about the guy who hunts demons with silly objects.

 

[DalekJaas]

Very good, won my vote, would like to see how you would do an actual pokemon

 

[Seel_27]

I loved it, truly hope you guys win

 

[lookingforloper]

Great first minute, really grabs your attention. The detail is impressive. There are some good entries that I've browsed through so far, but this one seems to have the most thought and attention to detail. It seems to offer the ability to sustain itself. Not just something that catches your eye once and couldn't really continue. Most definitely has my vote!

 

[Griger]

This was a pretty cool vid.. the effects were awesome. I really loved the music. The thought of a dark Pokemon makes me excited. This was a teaser for me. I must see more episodes!! Especially Team Rocket!!

 

[Tawajka]

Was hoping for something like this, it has good potential.. just like the pokemon episode of Doomsday Arcade. Hope to see more of it.

 

[El Poncho]

I want to know more! and for that reason I will vote for it( it is also pokemon
