'Pokemon is a really cute anime'... WAIT NO-

[Sheenifier]

You know what's funny about this, Espurrr's dex entry consistently says that it struggles to contain it's psychic power and it has enough power to send a wrestler flying. That thing should've detonated when it was kicked

[CoolLookinPea]

In a universe with world ending Pokémon, there would be a lot more people like this than you’d expect

[theskoomacat]

Damn. Even Jessie and James treated their pokemon with kindness. These trainers are true evil.

[Fickets]

The writing is hilarious to me.
“How can we show this character is evil?”
“Let’s have a Pokémon do something really cute then have them kick it”

[DuskAlimar]

The dead eyes. The boot reflection. The perfectly cut scream. Just need a "We'll be right back" to cap it off.

[unknownhuman]

They were added on a serious note.
Definetly, seeing an cute espurr being kicked is unsettling.

[kushalrajput]

The first clip made my rage go so high I gained the berserker skill.

[NikFromm]

That movie for the 2nd clip actually made me cry at one point! It was like the first Pokémon movie all over again!

[chaosXPRT]

It's even more cruel when you consider that a lot of these abusive Trainers treat their Pokemon like crap or abandon them because *they aren't good at hurting other Pokemon!*
It's like dog fighting and then abusing your dog because he sucks at hurting other dogs!

[critical-goat]

Not sure which one hurt me more.
Just how hard the heeled person kicked the Espurr after it lovingly snuggled them, or the kick the Charmander's trainer gave when his Pokémon that he most likely abandoned was so excited to be reunited.

[adventuresteamstudios]

Man, in the world of Pokemon, cruelty has no bounds

[thefrenchestfry]

They must've not been a cat person 💀

[guyk]

I remember when the older Pokémon episodes did things like this. Nice they brought some of that back.
0:22 Eustace has standards. Treat your Pokémon better.
Muriel: Courage is a Pokémon, Eustace.
Eustace: Wait what?!

[moonlink]

0:10 this was the saddest one, Charmander saw its old trainer who it loved, and its cries of joy were so cute... only for the bum to kick it off

[DeletedTroll]

Man that thumbnail got me thinking this video would be about something else

[shadowprince]

seeing such an innocent charmander and espurr get kicked like that made me lose all pride in other people overshadowing it with UNYIELDING RAGE

[SpctralI]

Charmander casually running in rain without anything covering his tail

[UltimatePhantasm]

To be fair, the girl in the first clip was being brainwashed by the team flare guy that looks like eggman without his mustache

[alexanderzippel]

Everyone: *cries over a psychic nuke getting kicked*
Me, who played Pokemon X: „But wait, it gets worse“

[zaaya]

The first time I saw that Espurr kick I was MORTIFIED totally blindsided by it 😭 no show or movie has ever made me feel so mad lmaoooo
