[@ArthurKH358.2]

Hey remember that one time Pokémon Hunter J almost committed intended murder ORDERING HER DRAPION TO KILL ASH?!?! Everything about J brings back dark memories. She had technology that turned Pokémon into statues to make it easier to sell them to the highest bidder. So not only were the Pokémon being sold at the black market but they couldn’t do a single thing because they’d stay as statues unless someone turns off the machinery that kept them trapped. J was VERY ambitious she went for the big bounties. A Heatran that could use eruption, a Riolu that knew Aura Sphere, Regigigas and the lake trio

Pokémon was my childhood ash and Pikachu going away. I’m gonna miss their adventure so much they were a part of me, and they will always be a part of my childhood. Thank you for the 25 years of your journey even if they’re not gonna be on Pokémon anymore I hope they would probably make a cameo in the new Pokémon series that’s coming out, but Pokémon will forever be my childhood. It was the first anime that I ever watched when I was younger, and I still watch the old episodes from time to time.

[@ncm1737]

The darkest scene in Pokemon I would say is the scene when Mewtwo is growing up and sees his clone friends disappear before his eyes. Then destroy the laboratory where it was created.

[@missmanxee]

The death of Luxray sacrificing itself to protect Sorrel when he was lost in a snowstorm in Pokémon the movie I choose you is one of saddest moments I ever experienced as well as in the first movie Mew Vs Mewtwo when Ash was turned to stone and I still cry every time I watch them thanks for sharing this 😢👍❤️

[@TurkeyFaceX]

And yet the real number 1 isn't even on your list. Sure there are already 2 other Mewtwo entries on this list, but hear me out because this one takes the cake. Mewtwo's origin is a short that takes place before the first movie Mewtwo Strikes back. A nameless scientist's daughter Amber dies tragically. He somehow captured her aura in an attempt to bring her back to life. He began experimenting with cloning to accomplish his goal. His wife left him because he couldn't move on. Giovanni hired him to create the worlds strongest Pokemon and he succeeded. His creation Mewtwo conversed with the other clones and Amber using telepathy. His power was killing the others without realizing it. After their demise the camera pans across the empty tanks where the dead clones were recently removed. Mewtwo was then drugged so he wouldn't remember this tragic event. Then in the first Movie Mewtwo kills that same scientist for considering him only an experiential subject. Why this wasn't even considered for the list is beyond me as its clearly the darkest story in the Pokemon anime.
