Description Straight from Cool Ape, it's the Pokémon colosseum movie you probably already saw.

It might as well be a parody of every Pokémon game , with the core joke being that all people in the Pokémon world solve any problem with Pokémon matches, especailly if they don't make sense.

I specifically chose Colosseum since that game tries the hardest to tell a straight dark epic adventure, making the typical silly Pokémon tropes look even more out of place.

I love it how the kidnappers from the beginning of the game challenge the hero to a match to silence him after witnissing the kidnap. As if defeating him in a Poké match makes him lose his ability to still go to the police anyway.
Also, having a public Pokématch in a city filled with people obsessed with Pokématches hardly seems the best strategy if you want to sneak out undetected.

Anyway, Wes, the hero of the story. He starts off very interestingly, stealing an object from the villain's hideout and blowing it up. I mean, wow! A pro-active hero for a change! And bad ass to boot!
Alas, it's only the opening, as soon as the game really starts, Wes instantly turns into your usual mute spineless idiot hero.
Which is why Wes awkwardly wiggles around like a carbon cut out for most of my parody.

Other jokes need explaining? There's the obligatory reference to Wes stealing the other trainers Pokemon yet they never being bothered by it, and..that were all jokes I think.

Oh, some Pokemon I drew in the background are a generation too far to be appearing in this flash movie, sorry.
I just took a handfull of modern Pokémon to avoid only using the classic ones. Just imagine the too recent Pokémon were illegally imported by their trainers from the later Regions or something.

Thanks to Molly,Luke, Silvia, Mike, Matt, Stephan and Danbuster for voices.

Wait... don't pokemon games usually stray far from anything remotely related to a death? And yet here's a lava pit just waiting to roast ya....

You know, as someone who is so used to the Pokemon formula that I really can't complain, I kind of wish Wes did more action-y scenes, even if they were of the "cut" variety. Your enactment of the awesome action sequence I only remember ever being merely eluded to (I rented the game years ago. Surprisingly hard, I never got further than Venus) pretty much convinced me; maybe they should have let YOU direct the game! That, or whoever does the Pokemon Adventures manga. I've only read a few chapters here and seen a few pages there, but man, the crazy crap they do...

Also, I got a kick out of Miror B.'s vaguely Texan(?) accent. I honestly wasn't expecting it And if the Mayor has a demonic form, does that mean he could have been caught in a Pokeball/done the fighting himself? Ah well, at least he went out with a bang!

sadly you never get to try to capture the mayor in a pokéball. Would be cool if you could.
For that matter, what WOULD happen if you try to capture humans?
Doesn't work because they're too strong minded? Well okay, but what if they're asleep, or drunk, or really stupid?

SuperMarthAndRoy64DS In reply to Rogerregorroger [2011-07-12 17:17:13 +0000 UTC]

I think this merits further research, especially regarding the willpower bit, although I just want to guess that the less human something is, the more likely a Pokeball will work. And yes, I'm sure sleep/drunk/stupidity status plays into it as well

...Am I the only one who misses when the legendaries actually dodged Pokeballs? At least I think it was only ever them, in any other case I just have to use my imagination. Otherwise, kids these days have seriously good aim with Pokeballs...

Considering the legends are huge, they don't need that much of an Aim.
It's more the timing, or anticipation of where the pokemon is moving too that counts.

Wait, this game actually had cops that weren't Officer Jenny? Amazing!

Watching this brought back memories, haha. God this game was silly. Never finished it though... ahwell, I probably know all I need by having watched this. XD

SuperMarthAndRoy64DS In reply to HHog [2011-07-12 17:07:54 +0000 UTC]

Jenny herself (or ANY female cop, come to think of it) has yet to appear in any of the main games. However, a lot of the Pokemon Nurses may or may not be Joy (whatever happened to the Pokemon Nurse with green hair? )

But yeah, the games have cops. They tend to use dogs, Fighting-types, or the occasional Hoothoot/Noctowl, and have a habit of mistaking you for a criminal/potential hooligan.

I'm fairly sure it was Jenny who gave you a Squirtle in Pokémon Yellow, though?

Ah, I never played Yellow, so I wouldn't have known. I'm still waiting for female police officers besides her, though. You think they would have by now!

Rogerregorroger In reply to HHog [2011-07-12 16:01:50 +0000 UTC]

yeah, making you go trough 100 battles, with all the slow loading times and ugh.
I didn't make it till the end either. My sister did, tough, so I could follow the story with her.

I don't think officer Jenny or nurse joy ever appeared in the games.
Maybe the gameboy ones.
There's no anime references in Colosseum at all. Well, Rui looks a lot like Misty I guess, but that's about it.

You're probably going to get 500 comments from Pokemon nerds pointing out that you incorrectly labeled Furret as a Fire-type when it is a Normal-type. This comment is the first of what will soon become many...
