That looks like its gonna be epic, it seemed like it was just gonna be a great one episode but how they introduced jessie and james at the end made me wanna watch it more.

Why is this video only #2? Dorian's Quest has a somewhat attractive girl and nothing else going for it. THERE IS NO JUSTICE.
Well it is an opinion after all.

Then why don't you actually voice YOUR opinion instead of being all cryptic and such. Say what you're really thinking, because we'd all LOVE to know.

Wait are you talking to me? If so you should really have quoted me or put my name in it or something. If not then my apologies.

I don't really see how I was being cryptic. All I was trying to say is what is good and what isn't is an opinion. As opposed to a fact which it was being stated as.

And I don't really see how my opinion has anything to do with that point but OK, if you really want to know. I thought it was quite good, and would be well used to fill the gap left by TWBB.

Of course you could be being sarcastic, it's hard to tell in text. If this is indeed the case I must ask why the attitude? What did I do to deserve that kind of thing?

The team rocket thing was the best...this is a great adaptation! Definitely my choice for the whole festival.

This is easily one of the good films I ever seen. Dark humor, much like There Will Be Brawl.

I would like to know how long it took to make this video? If someone could let me know, for, uh, future references.

Wow. this was good, but I get the feeling they "got the idea" from there will be brawl.
and the lack of seeing the pokemon put me off a little....I sware if there cuddly toys....
Cause "There will be Brawl" were the first to do dark satire on something?

And there was pokemon in it, you just don't get full shots of them, and I like it this way right now..its like the scary movies that show you bits and pieces of the monster before you get to see it in all its glory. Plus, it was just the pilot, i'm sure if they win, the funding will help make the pokemon bad ass..would you rather they go ahead and put something out there w/ their budget as is?

Something nintendo yes...

there budget can't be that sparce if they can go full CGI with the lightning and vinewhip effects.

Im just saying careful with your vote, theres already a great "Dark satire" nintendo show on here, and that has more range with characters ect, why would we need two?

1. TWBB ends in December.
2. I got after effects at a discount through my school and the vine cost $4 to make. You have no idea what you are talking about. We have 4 roommates in an Apartment and all of the money for this came out of our own pockets which we work full time jobs to get.
3. As I have previously stated, Jared and I had this idea more than 6 months ago, long before we had heard of TWBB. If you want to make the rip off argument, the Dorian's Quest is just a rip off of Doomsday Arcade (I'm not saying it actually is, just pointing out that your argument is extremely weak.)
4. As stated, there will be Pokemon. And I assure you, they will not be cuddly toys.

We worked on this for about a month all together. It probably wouldn't have taken that long but we were waiting for costumes to come in, and I taught myself After Effects from scratch for this project. All in all about 8 hours of filming, probably another 30 combined editing and effects work.

*sigh* talking to people like that wont win you votes though. "no idea what your talking about" erm excuse me GCI softwere is not cheap...I had no idea you got it via you school...does't = stupid thank you =_=

I already voted for this show anyway I never said it was bad...in fact I hope you win.
because the series has huge potential (more than TWBB becuase theres like 400+ pokemon)

So how long could it take for each episode to be done? I mean I can't say I want to see more of it here right away, but I haven't had the experience of long waits between episodes either. This is gonna be a good series, nonetheless.

That came of a LOT harsher than I meant it to, so I apologize. I had meant more something along the lines You have no idea how much of our own money we put into this.

You said that TWBB was the first to do dark nintendo satire? In my opinion..and granted..this is just my uneducated opinion here...but The Super Mario Bro's movie was actually a dark spin on the Mario video games...granted..it was a piece of crap so much that even the guys playing Mario and Luigi knew it was and spent the majority of their time on camera partially intoxicated. Either way...the movie was a dark near satire of the video game itself.

So i have to disagree it was the first.

Either way, like I said before, i'm looking forward to the "Pocket Monsters" and seriously doubt it will be cheesy cutsey monsters haha.

Meh don't mind the criticisms guys. You put forth more work than most and it shows. Props on doing everything yourself. Learning aftereffects from scratch?! wow Looks like you've been doing effects work for awhile. And seeing Tejeti's take on Team Rocket I highly doubt that the "Pokemon" will be cute cuddly stuffed animals. I mean Pikachu blew a guy apart in teh first minute! Ima continue voting because I hope to see this continue.
