OH SNAP.
In any case, I doubt the Pikachu in the promo is THE Pikachu that the TPC uses for advertisements. Just a clever easter-egg nod to people like OP that think they did.

In Pokemon Go, the area around where I live is just full of these things. Drowzees are easily my most seen and caught pokemon in that game.Drowzee:
Holy crap.
I'm curious what you thought it was before.
I'd really love to see some sort of darker pokemon ranger type game (and not those DS ranger games). Bugger gyms and becoming a pokemon master off. You become a ranger, help ward off some of these more disturbing pokemon, shit escalates and you find something like mewtwo or team so-and-so as the antagonists. Set in a darker world like HxH, man that'd be amazing.

You should check out the plot of gen 6, it's pretty dark.
Nope, it has been stated many times that Pokémon do in fact die.
They eat Pokémon.
Yeah, Sinnoh folk lore was really interesting and is part of the reason why I love that region.
Nope, unless Sun and Moon touches upon it.
Pokémon aren't slaves they are partners and the games makes that quite clearly even stating that Pokémon are smart creatures and if they don't want to be around Human they can easily choose to hide away from them.
That plot was explored end explained in Black and White 2.
The one in X and Y isn't fully explained at all, along with other plot points of X and Y like the Horde of Faceless men or the Froakie that turned into a boy.
But they're only supposed to faint

Yeah, that's dark as hell. When I saw the Z-moves for sun and moon that pretty much eviscerated the other Pokémon... It seemed like Pokémon deaths are now becoming a thing. I'm not entirely sure if this is recent since I seen it in that but it certainly is... New.

Sableye is creepy as fuck.
It's idle animation has it twitching around like something from a horror movie. When you hit it it recoils, looks at you, sprouts a big, creepy fucking grin and then hobbles back.

If this counts as "very dark and disturbing" I'd advise you keep from watching the news. Or going outside.

So check out one of the lore entries for Palossand, the new sandcastle Pokémon:
"Palossand loves the vitality of Pokémon and drags small Pokémon into its body so it can steal their life force. Its sandy vortex swallows them up in a heartbeat! Pokémon dragged into Palossand leave traces of their ill will behind. Its thought that this negative energy may be the starting point of new Sandygast..."
Now, long-time fans know Pokémon is no stranger to ideas that could best be described as "dark" and "disturbing." But I find it amusing/unsettling how TPC went so far as to provide key art of their most popular character dying a horrible death.
On that cheery note... What's your favorite bit of effed-up lore from Pokémon?
That dead pikachu could be..
Aaaaahhhhhh! My nightmares have come to life!
So for science here, i wanted to know the result of the joining effect lol.
Does the poke give birth a human or pokemon?
Does the human give birth a pokemon or human?
FOR SCIENCE.^_^
Where do you think Jynx, Throh, and Sawk came from?
Lol, Hitmonchan, HItmonlee, and Hitmontop too.
We are actually slaving human and not pokemon lol. GameFreak is monster.T_T

U guys know what, i would love if there if TPC would create a manga which focused on all the crazy lore of the pokemon as slice of life+horror genre lol.
Imagine each chapter will be like Youkai Watch where they will showcase a single Pokemon and what destructive thing it can do lol. It is going to be a blast to follow.^_^

From Pokemon X/Y when you enter an "empty office"
EDIT: Also a lot of things in the Sinnoh region are very unsettling or bizarre... I love that region for that =3
I was surprised when this happen, what exactly is it about?
I mind one of the DP entries noting that it tries to do it but is so light as to be incapable of doing so and the child just roughhouses it like any other balloon.Indeed.
Here's Drifloon's HGSS entry
"It is whispered that any child who mistakes Drifloon for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing"
So it goes from creepy to hilarious.

And that's EVERY FUCKING CUBONE!!! Not just one, but EVERY Cubone wears it's mother's skull.
And then many of them evolve into a Marowak. Which means that if they propagate, THEY BECOME the skull their children wear.
Life. What a bitch.

The whole trapping them in balls to only be let out to fight was pretty dark. I mean, what happens to the pokemon if/when their trainer dies out in the wild? Do they just rot in the balls?
