I really enjoyed this video, it's my favorite in the contest. It definitely seems to be inspired by There Will Be Brawl, but that's definitely not a bad thing. I enjoy people's interpretations of the dark, realistic sides of our beloved games.

Also, Pokemon are hax:

Umm is it supposed to be humorous? I don't think that was in the guidelines of the film contest. So this seems kinda unimportant.

I've looked all through these comments and have not seen one thing about the melted face soldier. I mean his acting practically stole the show and no one seems to notice.

Very good. The acting was a bit wooden and there's the microphone problem, but that's all teething problems. I've looked at every entry and this is one of about five that stood out enough and it is the only one that had the most potential for distance to earn its bread.

Two suggestions, if you don't mind, are to work on the acting and tighten the plot, like the end. Team Rocket's introduction is very well shot and all, but the shadowed Giovanni is useless since its obvious its him. The whole point of the shadowing in the games and animated version was that it introduces mystery as who the big boss is. Most of the people watching this will have known that, so either drop the pretense, or have something up your sleeve for that.

Or not, what do I know?

The effect still works, actually. While we really know who the person behind the shadow is, it still gives off the effect of the big mysterious boss lurking from the shadows. Granted, the "reveal" won't have much luster since we know who it is, but still.

Also, question to the creators: Was this inspired by "There will be Brawl" at all? To me it feels that way, but still approached in a unique sense.

Either way, got my vote.

Great effort in the filming and effects and a clever theme with longevity. Acting and pace was the downfall but definite potential

Believe it or not, we were tossing this idea around six months ago, before any of us had seen or heard of TWBB. The show had a slightly different premise,but it was still basically the dark take on Pokemon.However, the entire cast and crew absolutely loves TWBB, so there might be some influence there.

As for the acting, neither Blake nor I have ever done this sort of thing, so we are still cutting our teeth. We have found an acting coach though. It's just gonna take a bit of practice.

We appreciate the feedback and the votes guys!
