What if Pokémon was a bit more mature.

What if Pokémon was a bit more mature.

And by that, I mean the anime. We all know that Pokémon is more for children and etc. but what if they make an alternative anime of Pokémon with the same people (Ash and co) and the same storyline (badges/ribbons) but everything was a bit matured. For example, they could add a bit violance, maybe cursing (but not too harsh words) and so on.

Well, not exactly make a new version and start all over, but let's imagine the anime was directed to older people, maybe 13+, how do you think everything would've changed?

I wouldn't mind if there was a bit of blood in the Pokémon battles, just to give it that extra touch of what kinds of powers we're dealing with.
When some of the characters fall, I want them to get hurt rather than they boink off of their butts again and then continue their daily lives.

In other words, I want them to go with the same realistic theme like in the early Pokémon episodes - Like when Charmander was about to die because its flame was fading and the cast almost drowned in SS. Anne.

I would pretty much adore it if the anime had its rating rasied.

I think Team Rocket would be a little more interesting. Rather than them being cheesy wannabee villains I could see them actually being evil, a little more malicious with their actions, and more successful. You see them with a new Pokemon every now and then, one that they stole, perhaps with some TR technological neck brace on it that forces it to battle for them. I could see them attacking humans with their Pokemon too, out of sheer viciousness.

I think the characters themselves, at leats the main trio (or quad when Max is introduced) would be older by a couple of years, with Ash as say 17 rather than 11/12. There'd be more love interests between the main characters, perhaps a love triangle that splits the main grouping from time to time.

My version is kind of aimed at the same audience as the Justice League series.

Pokémon more mature? Blood in battles would be a realistic touch. Same with aging. (My gods, wouldn't Ash look a wee bit older by now?)

But, if Pokémon was more mature, than we couldn't have Team Rocket be electrocuted as many times as they have. By now, they would be dead. Same with Ash being toasted by Charizard. Yum...Crispy Ash... (I believe I just made a joke.)

Actually, Satoshi does look older than he does in the first series, and several people can agree he's now in his early teens based on that appearance.

A better style of animation. I'm not saying the animation we have now is bad or anything, but compare it to something like Gundam SEED? Bah. Pokemon's current style just wouldn't work too well with a mature theme. I mean...look at the monsters! Even the evil or disturbing ones look cute. At least in the case of Digimon you actually had monsters who looked rather freaky.

So yes...better animation all the way. It wouldn't even have to be as extreme as Gundam SEED, that was just an example. My point is that it would help a lot. ^^;

Otherwise in the actual point of content...I'm going agree with Chatsy. Having some realistic violence would be nice for a change.

LEGEND OF DRATINI OMG SHOOTING PEOPLE WITH GUNS :O

But it's perfectly alright to throw bombs and other weapons of mass destruction at people.

BUT NO SHOOTING PEOPLE. IT KILLS.

Bombs just make them turn black and have bad hair for a couple seconds. :<​

Apperently it's not ok to have bombs anymore either. When was the last time we've seen one of those in the show?

It would have been nice if the show was geared to a wider demographic. At least plotwise it could stand some growing up. Seriously, how many times do we have to see Team Rocket get blasted to Kingdom Come? At least give us something new and cop out on it coughmagmaaquacough.

shove it up ya bum!
I think the show would be alot better with the absence of team rocket every now and then. Blood would be more realistic, the battles are pretty realistic as is but with slahing sort of attacks it would be better if it actually left a mark.

I couldn't give a crap about blood or swearing, because that doesn't make a show more mature at all.

If we had some more meaningful character development (That includes the supporting cast, the pokémon themselves and main characters), a bit more imagination concerning the appearence and function of some of the more formulaic attacks, more frequent use of the more capable animation directors, more comical violence and some sort of coherant storyline that builds up to a dramatic climax as the quest continues, then everything would be swell.
Thats all this show is lacking.

If the show was closer to the games, that would suit me. Pokemon being more violent would lose its charm, and its morals would be wasted.
