If you grew up in the late '90's, or even the early 2000's, you probably recognize, watched, or played Pokemon.
One of the most famous adaptations, besides the games, is the Pokemon anime. It's mainly for kids (although there's certain episodes that crossed the line a bit far), and generally, everything is what one might expect from a show with a Y-7 or PG rating.
However, for the more dedicated fans out there, there is a manga out there, called Pokemon Special in Japan, or Pokemon Adventures.
These volumes were a whole lot darker than what's in the anime; Pokemon die, there's threats of murder included in some of them, and the overall atmosphere is just much darker.
After reading this, this got me thinking. How can an animated adaptation of Pokemon Adventures be made? And if it's possible, what would it look like?
