* TakeThat: The opening of the short shows Klefki and Honedge as examples of new Pokémon that Ross "can't keep up with", obviously a dig at the controversial subject of [[AnimateInanimateObject inanimate objects as Pokémon]]. As demonstrated in the short itself, not ''all'' inanimate objects are suitable for translating to Pokémon designs...

* ObliviouslyEvil: The trainer acts as if he's going through a fun, standard Pokemon journey. Never mind that his starter is literally a (sentient) ''pistol'', let alone that its only "attack" consists of shooting real bullets.

** BlackComedyAnimalCruelty: Both instances of Pokemon being "defeated" (read: shot dead by Bangbang) are PlayedForLaughs... [[BlackComedyPetDeath for a given value of laughs, in the gym battle's case.]]



* EyeScream: When the trainer gets hit by the Pikachu shot from Officer Jenny's taser, one of its ears jabs him in the eye for a moment before it starts shocking him.

* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: Downplayed in that the trainer isn't a world-ending menace ''per se'', but even without the context of a series where every defeat is a NonLethalKO, it should go without saying that giving a ''ten-year-old'' something to potentially ''kill'' people (and Pokémon) with is never a good idea.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Professor Tree basically gives a live firearm with BottomlessMagazines to a ''ten-year-old boy''. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

* PostReleaseRetitle: Upon its initial release in 2013, the short was titled "Pokemon The Next NEXT Generation". Following the release of ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' six years later, [[HilariousInHindsight and especially jokes of]] [[https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/08/random_comic_artist_creates_legendary_for_pokemon_gun_meme a potential third version titled "Pokémon Gun"]], the short was retitled accordingly.

* VisualInnuendo: Not even innuendo, even - the first gym is apparently a ''Dick-type'' gym, and the one Pokémon its gym leader is seen using, Weeniepuss, has a long nose and hairy jowls (and lop ears) suggesting... well, yeah.
* WingdingEyes: The gym leader's Weeniepuss has X's for eyes after the trainer's Bangbang [[BoomHeadshot shoots it in the face]], presumably killing it.

! Due to this animation's short length (clocking in at just a minute and a half), [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff all spoilers are unmarked!]] You have been warned.

->I can't keep up with all these new Franchise/{{Pokemon}}. I wonder where it will be in ten years?

"Pokemon Gun." ([[PostReleaseRetitle formerly]] "Pokemon The Next NEXT Generation") is a {{Parody}} web animation by WebVideo/RubberRoss of WebVideo/GameGrumps.

Viewable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZCfJqr7Eao here]].

!!This WebAnimation contains examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: Apparently, Officer Jenny keeps a live Pikachu inside her taser gun.
* BegoneBribe: The gym leader simply tosses his badge at the trainer and tells him to [[GetOut "Just go!"]] after reacting in horror to his Weeniepuss [[BoomHeadshot getting shot in the face]] by said trainer's Bangbang.
* BlackComedy: A solid minute and a half of it, but special mention goes to the ending with a ''Pikachu'' being used as a taser on a ''child''.
* BoomHeadshot: Done twice by the trainer's Bangbang, first to a wild Bidoof and then to the gym leader's Weeniepuss.
* BottomlessMagazines: Bangbang never seems to run out of ammo, no matter how many bullets it shoots.
* CrossdressingVoices: All the voices in the short are done by the male Egoraptor and Ricepirate, even Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny.
* EyeScream: When the trainer gets hit by the Pikachu shot from Officer Jenny's taser, one of its ears jabs him in the eye for a moment before it starts shocking him.
* HarmlessElectrocution: The ending has the trainer get zapped by Officer Jenny's taser Pikachu, without any ill effects - not even XRaySparks.
--> '''Trainer:''' "I'M H-A-AVING SO MUCH FU-U-U-U-U-UN!"
* LivingWeapon: Bangbang is literally a gun with eyes and a mouth, and is treated as a real firearm. One has to wonder why a ''pistol'' would be freely given to children, but [[RuleOfFunny given that this is a parody short...]]
* OhCrap: The gym leader panics when the trainer brings out his Bangbang and shoots the wall behind him with it. Later, [[MassOhCrap everyone at the Pokémon Center flees in terror]] when the trainer enters with his Bangbang still in his hand.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Professor Tree basically gives a live firearm with BottomlessMagazines to a ''ten-year-old boy''. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
