Dev Makes First-Person Shooter Pokemon Game Where You Kill Pokemon
Pokemon has a weird history with guns. There have been multiple instances where the Pokemon anime has censored depictions of guns, and the main series Pokemon video games have mostly stayed away from portraying firearms at all, which makes sense as the franchise is primarily directed at kids.

A clip of this violent Pokemon game concept was shared by Reddit user Dragon_GameDev, also known as Dragon on YouTube. Dragon_GameDev plans on making a new game every month throughout 2022, with this violent Pokemon FPS being their first project. The video shared by Dragon_GameDev shows them exploring a tranquil field that wouldn't look out of place in a normal Pokemon game, except they're gunning down every creature they come across instead of trying to catch them in a Poke Ball.

Palworld is an open world game that was announced last summer and
