Poll: Could Pokemon do Horror?

[Lothae]

Pokemon could definitely pull off horror, but it's probably not going to happen.
The reason I'm so certain is a picture a friend of mine sent to me about a year ago that I CANNOT UNSEE. Search around the web for horror pikachu or w/e and you'll see what I mean.
Pokemon could very easily become what they were all along - Pocket MONSTERS .

I gotta ask, where is everyone learning this?
And yeah, Pokemon Horror could work, but only if done right.

Learning what? Horror? Pokemon info?

No, where is everyone getting stuff about Pokemon horror?
Link for it would be appreciated.

It was an idea that I came up with, so I started this thread.
There are lots of horror-themed parodies out there, like the picture above.

Kinda off-topic.
I have a prototype Pokemon Game that was never published. It consists entirely of Pidgin English, AKA very badly translated, with the creators having no full understanding of the English language. You "Catch" Pokemon by beating them in the wild, and acquiring their Cell Phone Numbers. Really. And in fights, you can call in a couple friends, since you only have 1 that travels with you. Sometimes they get lost and are delayed, or need to go somewhere else after their turn. The main villain is some bloke who wants to build a Curry shop, and you need to stop him for some reason. The game is for GameBoyColor and it's memory will save NOTHING. Also, you can give your monsters Drills, Wallets, Revolvers (YES A GUN), Rocket Launchers, Lasers, Glasses and other weird crap. I couldn't see any difference after giving my favorite monster 5 drills and 20 lasers, and for some reason, the "Boss" monster that I fight in the first area has a super laser attack, and after beating him, I get his number. I have only gotten up to the second area, before my power runs out (since I do not know what I need to do in the game). Hell, If I can get a video camera, I will upload it to Youtube.

Horror would be a fun thing to see from Pokemon.

This is kind of the basis of my Pokemon RP (too an extent)

Right up there with Nurse Joy with a cleaver is a pokeball that can capture humans and take them to a sort of virtual "hell"

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

No...Unless you want to see a ton of Ghost types popping up out of nowhere to scare you...

Although I was deathly afraid of the Lavender Town music in R/B/Y

 

[Simon Hadow]

Hmkmm... Nurse Joy with a claver... am I the only one who finds that kind of attractive in some sick way?

 

[rtidb126]

Anything cute and adorable can be turned scare, look at the gremlins.

Hell no my brother. Everybody wants to see some of that pent up frustration that she has released. All those cousins doing the same thing every day, running into Ash/May/OtherDude all the friggin time. Who wouldn't get tired of it?

It could be possible, but very few people would be able to find anime scary.

 

[Abedeus]

Uhm. I always wondered how Pokemons like Pincer or Scyther can scratch humans, but can't kill them.

Oh, oh, I've got another idea! Mewtwo ripping people apart with psychotic abilities! NO, BETTER! Zubats attacking everyone and sucking out their blood! Too obvious? How about Charizards attacking humans from above, grabbing them with claws (piercing skin and flesh, maybe bone too) and then eating by slowly roasting on open flame?

I am insane, I know.

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

What about the tower in Lavender Town?

That scared the shit out of me as a young'un.

Damn, beat me to it. The possessed healers(?) that would shout "BLOOD!" before attacking you were actually disturbing. Especially against the relatively light-hearted nature of the rest of game.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, my friend.

A few thoughts of my own.
Jynx = Succubus
Tauros stampede kills many, humans retaliate with guns (you even see guns in an episode, other than Officer Jenny's), Pokemon become wary of the humans, Mewtwo leads a coup d'état against the human race. The world (or at least the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, and other regions/islands with Pokemon) will erupt into an internal conflict between species. Families will be torn apart, some Pokemon staying with beloved human partners, others killing their partners in their sleep then presenting the bloody right ears as a bounty to the Pokemon Confederation.

How does a Pokemon Apocalypse sound? There have been plenty of end-of-the-world scenarios throughout the games and shoes and movies.

Pokemon horror will work if we take out all the cutsey pokemon. Leaving the ones who could actually do some damage to you and your psyche is the only logical course of action. An nurse joy with a cleaver would be amazing, disturbing, and hot all at once. (i have a thing for girls with cleavers)

 

[Froobyx]

Yes... but it'd ruin my childhood.

Would this be a horror movie mind? I can see the Japanese pulling something like that off.

The Japanese can do almost anything.

Yes, I would hope that it would be a legitimate horror.

Well, you kind of need the cute Pokemon getting lynched and butchered at the very beginning in order to set the tone. Heck, I got an idea for a story.
Same as the above stampede, but also that some Humans have isolated themselves from others and prey upon Pokemon for food and gory arcane rituals.

No, I mean, where is/was everyone getting something about Nurse Joy and a cleaver?

Because I put it as an option to vote for. I tried to imagine the scariest dash most demented thing I could, and I decided to cross the Cleaver horror stereotype with the most innocent character of Pokemon. And it worked...

 

[Cylem]

It couldn't SERIOUSLY do horror, but an attempt would be nonetheless entertaining.

 

[BloodyOne]

I think that the only way to have a successful horror game produced will require a lot of input from the fanbase.

 

[Zeckal]

Rambo Pickachu would scare me, I mean what is worse then having Rambo pissed at you,
When he controls the powers of lightning.
(ive only watched pokemon season 1)
But still pikachu blew up a hospital in like the 3rd episode.
