Agreed. Excellent job on editing, and the acting is better than most other vids, too.Angrypudding said:

Very well done, great pace. As soon as I saw the lightning bolts I thought "Oh, shit. Pikachu." Then the distant "Pika!" was perfectly timed.
This will likely be victim of "There Will Be Brawl Copy" shit, but since that is concluding later this month you should have a nice niche to fill. I want to see this continue, some of the other frontrunners seem like they make a good "video", but wouldn't make a good "show".

Yeah, like Dorian's quest, the camera was good and that made it watchable, but it doesn't compare to this,Sporky111 said:
As many people have already said, this reminds me a lot about There Will be Brawl, but I think thats a good thing. This could become an very interesting series that personally I would watch. Good job.
Yes u guys are finally in 1st where u belong. I don't quite understand what took so long but at least people are coming seeing what i see work of art good jobs gents
Loved it. I think that the atmosphere was perfect and the characters are great. I love the dark side of the Pokemon and I think that this would make a great series on the Escapist.
Well simply because someone tried to tell me that I was ignorant because I didn't think that DQ's video was from God, I will continue to support this one. I had been voting for other things, but not anymore. Good luck you guys.
EDIT: I should have said work of God or work from God maybe? That would have made my point more clear.

I anticipate this one making the final cut, so when it does, here's what I hope to see:
- Making Team Rocket effective and evil, as is their right. We have a great start with Jesse and James's "why so serious" masks, not to mention the katanas. Keep this up. Toy around with all the old Team Rocket cliches. If anyone can make them scary, you guys can.
- Fun with different types of storytelling. Every area in the game has its own shtick, and each area could also have its own style of film. The poison/Team Rocket town would lend itself nicely to a pastiche of "Boondock Saints". The bike trail would allow for a parody of "Easy Rider". Scenes in the ocean could reference "Jaws". The ghost tower is obvious. There's a lot of room to play around in here. Make the most of it.
- The legion of Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies. Every town had one. It won't do to make the joke too obvious, but a little side joke would get a giggle out of me, and lots of other people.
- The Pokemon themselves. This will naturally be tricky, since Pokemon are highly unnatural and powerful, and if they look ridiculous, it will break the feel of the series. So, go carefully on this one, and know that you have my sympathies, but when you do put them in, make them good and scary.
Anyhow, best of luck, and I look forward to seeing your unique vision of the Pocket Monsters.

Im all for this idea, i hope they do, this video rocks! i really want to see moreRandom argument man said:
so on my second viewing...
yeah this is a no brainer, ya'll deserve it =)
I mean, it's pretty awesome, and whatever I don't mention was good IMO
my only worries aren't so much the acting (practice is free), but just be careful with some non-digital effects (the vines with bulbasaur could've been better, I'm thinking camera angles really) and of course the audio (improved microphones?)
(haha I don't really like ash wearing the traditional pokemon trainer garb cuz the colors are a bit bright and clashing but that's just a personal thing, it's up to ya'll)
buttt like I said other than that, what can I say? you guys got it going x)

Looks a lot like "There Will Be Brawl". At least in the dark style. Changed my vote from "Dorians Quest" to this. Guess we have a winner here
