Pokemon is something that is a part of a lot of our childhoods, and we have wonderful memories of the cute and cuddly creatures that roam the fantastic world of Pokemon. But did you ever to stop and really think about Pokemon? I mean, having animals fight as a sport? Isn’t that illegal? Well, a fan-made trailer for a fictional movie has recently gained a lot of attention and shows a much darker side to Pokemon!

Pokemon Apokelypse is a fictional film about a world in which Pokemon battling has been outlawed, and all the gyms have been closed down. As a result, battling has become a strictly underground sport, with some very gruesome results. Ash, Misty and Brock have also gone underground in hopes of continuing the Pokemon dream. Will Ash ever fulfill his dream? Or will he be thwarted by the evil corporation that is Team Rocket? We very well may never know. In the meantime, check out the trailer below:

I repeat that this is not a real movie. It’s only fan-made. It’s a very interesting movie concept, though. Maybe it’ll get picked up sometime in the future! Although I would prefer it if Pikachu didn’t look so much like roadkill…
