Pokmon Apoklypse is a 2010 fanmade short film directed by Kial Natale and produced by Dylan Innes and Lee Majdoub. Based on the Pokmon franchise, the storyline takes place several years after the events of the original anime series. Intended as a fanresponse to the common trend of dark and gritty reboots of popular franchises, the film was meant to give a mature spin on Pokmon and be in the same vein as work seen on parody website CollegeHumor. The creators initially intended to reveal the film at the Vancouver Anime Evolution convention, it was not shown due to technical difficulties. Instead on September 14, 2010, it revealed online via a teaser segment distributed through emails sent to various media outlets, which presented itself as a recording of a secret movie trailer screening for a film in development. The full film followed shortly thereafter, posted online on September 20.
