This Pokémon/GTA V Mash-up Gets Weird Fast
The catchy opening theme song to Nintendo's pocket monster series looks a lot weirder in Grand Theft Auto V.
NeoGAF has unearthed the following video from YouTube user Merfish, who put together a shot-by-shot recreation of Pokémon's intro in GTA V. Various painted denizens of Los Santos stand in for the series' monsters, which is as disturbing as the above image suggests. Also, Ash's iconic getup doesn't make Trevor look like any less of a psychopath as he throws pokéballs at unsuspecting humans.
For more Pokémon-inspired goodness, check out this other reimagined intro, and what Pokémon would look like in the Unreal Engine.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
