I was wondering if anyone would like to see the games get a darker tone to them?

Like more evil rivals, having someone die, or just grim story telling.

Personally I don't see what's wrong with the tone of the current games but I'm curious to see what other people think.

i would makes a change from the happy bright nicesness...

If Pokemon became darker in tone, it could draw in other groups of people, which would help Pokemon's popularity (and lower the "Pokemon is for babies" thing going around). I wouldn't mind a darker tone, as long as it doesn't stray too far from the original idea from Pokemon.

I think that'd be a good idea. But maybe it's cuz I just like dark stuff. And inb4some company rages about Pokemon actually dying or something (PETA reference) if it did happen.

Hm... I'd say go for it. It seems like a good Idea to me.

Well Black and White had a more mature storyline to it, but I'd LOVE a darker story. Like a dying old man or the villainous team killing someone or threatening to end the world and destroy all mankind.

I would like to see the evil teams getting darker and edgier, doing some slightly extreme things. Maybe a little bit off loss or sorrow, and something to act as the driving force of the plot, like the death of a loved one caused by Team Whoever.

Hey, Pokémon died in Gen I. D:
