Sep 15 2010Gotta Secretly Record 'Em All!: Alleged Live-Action "Gritty" Pokemon Trailer
This is an allegedly screener footage from a "dark and gritty" live-action Pokemon movie that surprisingly has a lot of guns in it. I have no idea if it's real or not, so I'm just gonna copy/paste the email sent to Shogungamer and let you decide for yourself. You're a big boy, you can make decisions!

I've been lurking this site for a while and I wanted to see if you were interested in posting this video I captured tonight. Today after work my friend and I were invited to view a "secret movie trailer screening." We were not told what it would be, but when I got there 30 other people and myself were shown a trailer for a Pokemon live action movie. It was super sketchy but I decided to record the last 30 seconds or so of the trailer which was about 3 min long. The clip is in a zip file and the password is "gottacatchemall." I can't give you much more detail then this. I wasn't supposed to film this, but holy shit it was awesome. I'll be in touch with you guys when I can talk more about it.

I dunno Professor Oak, this all seems kinda sketchy. I'm afraid we're gonna have to get another professor involved. Layton! Enough diddling your Justin Bieber poster -- we've got a case to crack.
UPDATE: A Geekologie informant who knows someone involved in the production clarified the movie is, in fact, fan-made.
Hit the jump for the "WTF did I just watch?"

5. Sally - September 15, 2010 1:09 PM
Yes! Layton would have it solved in a minute! I is now fangirl. AND it turns out the new one isn't out in Ireland for over a month after it's American release.... Darn. Maybe I should order?

@2
as long as there isn't sex involved kids can watch all the violence they want.

FIST!! Ha!! Losers!!
8. Luna Mystica - September 15, 2010 1:15 PM
Uhm, Pokemon and guns?
Anyone considered... Fake and gay?
9. Daisy - September 15, 2010 1:20 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where the Japanese Nintendo Co. tried to take over the world with subliminal messages aimed at robots that instead turned out to cause massive seizures in all Asian children causing them to flop around the floor like tazered goldfish, FTW!!

@8
Uhm, shut the fuck up? It's fan made
11. Shenanigans - September 15, 2010 1:25 PM
looks a bit cheesy to me. if youre gonna go make a live action pokemon movie, you better go pokeballs out on visual detail.
12. corey - September 15, 2010 1:25 PM
fake
13. Richard McBeef - September 15, 2010 1:25 PM
@10 So's your mother.
14. Nicholas - September 15, 2010 1:26 PM
lol, fake. If Nintendo was going to do that, which they never would, it would not be in some crappy live action movie. Not when they haven't milked a live action one based on the kid show to death first anyway.

Looks so bad but so good.
16. naas (TRO) - September 15, 2010 1:29 PM
fan made movies are the next viral infection to sweep the webz
17. Richard McBeef - September 15, 2010 1:30 PM
well name stealing McBeef, it seems like you have left the junior high world of "you're gay" and moved into some high school territory with the "your mom" stuff.
it's progress, i suppose. maybe someday you will get your own fucking name.
18. Edge - September 15, 2010 1:33 PM
I just reminisced a little in my pants.
19. Smelly McCheesequeef - September 15, 2010 1:37 PM
@16 Hey, naas. Speaking of .. can you have a look at this? It's really itchy.
20. billabong021 - September 15, 2010 1:39 PM
Mmm looks as sucky as dragonball z was :P
21. Tom - September 15, 2010 1:41 PM
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE.
This would never be made :rofl:
22. Richard McBeef - September 15, 2010 1:42 PM
Apologies to everyone for that immature rant I posted, but my Aunt Flo just stopped by and my vaj is really irritated.
23. myneighborisadouch - September 15, 2010 1:52 PM
What is Lord Voldemort doing in this? Trying to pedo-out on more young boys? Is Ash is next since Harry wont give him the time of day? This makes my Poki-sack hurt!
24. Rocket Raccoon - September 15, 2010 1:53 PM
Aww, yay! One of my tips was used! I know the actress who is playing Misty and it IS in fact a fan made movie. According to her the high quality, full length trailer will be out soon ;D
25. Richard McBeef - September 15, 2010 1:56 PM
@24 Tit pics or your lying.
26. Rocket Raccoon - September 15, 2010 2:06 PM
@25 Whatever, it's the truth! I don't know how to verify that I DO in fact know her. I just do!
27. Joo-jun - September 15, 2010 2:20 PM
Looks like a crappily made fan video... oh wait, it is.
28. Rocket Raccoon - September 15, 2010 2:27 PM
To verify, what I meant to say was the 'secretness' of the trailer is the fan made part. The real trailer will be out soon. It's entirely real. I suck at this...
29. Jebus - September 15, 2010 2:28 PM
I go to school with the guys that are making this. They had a premiere the other day.
Not sure if this is part of their hype process, but I can confirm that this is an actual thing, a big fan made trailer for a Pokemon movie. The design and creation process for the actual Pokemon took years, apparently.
Be cynical, internet, you have license to be, but I have seen it as well, in person, at a premiere kegger.
30. NotaTard - September 15, 2010 2:31 PM
the pokemon look too shitty to be a jap movie maybe Swedish but not jap
31. .... - September 15, 2010 2:35 PM
@Rocket Racoon #25 said it BUT if it was YOUR tip and you know the actress does that mean your the one that leaked this POS?If the official trailer is going to in fact be released soon then why not wait? Leaking a crappy video of it just makes it seem shitty? ALSO if you want to prove you know her post the EXACT date the trailer will be released that's proof enough.

@31 No comment? ;) I'll let the people in charge of the movie reveal more details. I'll just post the trailer when it's out!
34. The informer - September 15, 2010 2:49 PM
False..this is just a shitty community college film some dumbass made i was at this event and it was terrible.
35. Rocket Raccoon - September 15, 2010 2:56 PM
The informer is a cranky pants... :\
36. Dj RayGun - September 15, 2010 2:56 PM
uhhh
37. Cath - September 15, 2010 3:01 PM
Notice how not even the cheering crowd at the end of this video is real?
How sad!
38. arakuto - September 15, 2010 4:01 PM
anyone else notice the harry potter clip? lmao horrible job at making a fake trailer people...
39. kit - September 15, 2010 4:04 PM
I don't give a damn if it's fake or not, it still looks cool. I wish something like this would be made for the realz.
40. Cadoo! - September 15, 2010 4:59 PM
"I decided to record the last 30 seconds or so of the trailer which was about 3 min long" Did anyone else catch this? so how did he record the last 30 seconds of the trailer...... in 3 minutes? or how can- *head explodes*
41. Tennist0 - September 15, 2010 6:48 PM
+1 probably real
42. Quidam - September 15, 2010 7:32 PM
wat
43. Make It Cool - September 15, 2010 7:57 PM
You can tell it's fake from the shitty music and no sound.
44. JJtoob - September 15, 2010 8:35 PM
So ghey, it's probably real...
45. The Thriller - September 15, 2010 9:08 PM
@24, I'm sure you just saw that on shogungamer like the rest of us. And I doubt you know Misty...
46. adam - September 15, 2010 10:39 PM

47. tio - September 16, 2010 3:33 AM
@24 O rly? Who is she?

48. ciao - Hates with passion - September 16, 2010 2:03 PM
This looks as good as that Super Mario Bro's movie made back in the 1990's.
49. Black - September 16, 2010 8:25 PM
@40
Let me help u
Like many films, the trailer was several minutes long (in this case, 3). He only recorded the last 30 sec of the trailer.
Just be thankful you did not see the full 3 minutes of suck these filmmakers had to offer!
50. PenyWise - September 16, 2010 10:21 PM
WTF did I just did...
51. flacid squirtle - September 17, 2010 12:36 AM
This trailer makes me wanna cut off my pokeballs.
52. Biz - September 17, 2010 1:29 AM
Is that trailer supposed to show us what a Pokemon movie would look like if Michael Bay directed it?
53. CWCSonichu - September 19, 2010 3:08 PM
I NEED to see this!
54. New Noise Thriller - September 20, 2010 8:40 PM
