This Pokémon/GTA V Mash-up Gets Weird Fast

The catchy opening theme song to Nintendo's pocket monster series looks a lot weirder in Grand Theft Auto V.

NeoGAF has unearthed the following video from YouTube user Merfish, who put together a shot-by-shot recreation of Pokémon's intro in GTA V. Various painted denizens of Los Santos stand in for the series' monsters, which is as disturbing as the above image suggests. Also, Ash's iconic getup doesn't make Trevor look like any less of a psychopath as he throws pokéballs at unsuspecting humans.
