POKEMON Intro Recreated in GRAND THEFT AUTO V

I missed out on the whole Pokemon craze when it was at a fever pitch in the late '90s, so I'm not super familiar with the opening sequence of the anime TV series. But thankfully, YouTuber Merfish has not only recreated the scene in Grand Theft Auto V, but he's created a side-by-side comparison video for people like me who didn't grow up watching the show. It's ridiculous, as you might expect from a video that uses humans in place of Pokemon species, but it's also pretty funny.

Side note: In my list of the best movie moments this summer, I almost included one for Paper Towns in which the main characters sing the Pokemon theme song together to build up enough courage to overcome a frightening situation, and seeing this reminded me of that scene, so if you're a Pokemon fan, there's at least one moment in that movie you'll enjoy.

Here's Merfish's explanation of why he decided to make these videos:

Today I turn 23 years old, and for 17 of those years I have devoted my life to Pokémon. It's one of the few video game series that matches GTA in my heart, so surely a combination of the two would be something special, at least for me. So this is my birthday gift to myself that I wish to share with all of you.
