Wait, is that for real? It's not a mod/hack/whatever?

It is a hack called Pokemon Sweets.Why else is Misty's gym filled with orange water? XD

We're actually in an Evangelion universe and that's LCL?
...Actually, let's not think about that crossover. It would be horrifying.

Orange soda is cool but I don't love it
I also don't get the reference
but this hack seems ok, it has a little of my interest but if it's mostly the same then it doesn't have that much of my interest XP
also Evangelion is dark? guess I need to watch more than episode 2 lol
Signature thanks to Shu.

Either you're not old enough or you didn't watch live action shows as a kid.
@ the hack: The overworld is kind of the same but with some major differences, and while the NPCs are usually in the same places, they often either have completely new text or completely mock up the original. The biggest sin I see with it is that--and maybe this is just a patching problem? I don't know--while the game's graphics, types and music are altered, the Pokemon's movesets are NOT. So they changed Machop/Machoke to Applin/Applot but didn't change their movesets so now they're spamming fighting moves (...or...whatever type those moves were changed into...) like mad. I actually ragequit a battle for that reason. (Plus, said Applot was like, level 45...)
The various references to random things are golden though. There's a "I Wanna Be The Guy" reference and a Zelda CDI reference in there. Also, there was a Pirate named Dart

Evangelion, while not absolutely the bleakest series in existence, is one of the most famous for looking critically at Super Robot ideas (taking pilots and throwing them into world saving situations). It doesn't guide itself down the same path of inevitable darkness like some COUGHtexhnolyzeCOUGH but does get to some pretty depressing topics eventually. I mean, the the "desired" ending of the series (before the company basically lost all funding for its last 2 episodes) was everybody turning into the aforementioned LCL/Tang. Basically, humanity dies. End of story. The series, due to the aforementioned lack of funding, just decided to explore its character's mental issues further for the last two episodes and we actually don't see it happen.
This idea got recycled for End of Evangelion when they decided to actually create the ending "right". It's just as depressing and creepy when played on screen.

...that's a very compelling argument, I think my brain farted on that post. Now, Pokémon Sweets, that's a funny name, does it have a parallel version named Pokémon Snacks?

@kirant I didn't understand the Evangelion talk. this seems like a situation where I should proooobably watch the rest of the show so I have a better idea of what you're talking about (or at least am ready enough to read up online/fill myself in, lol)

Long story short:
- Emotionally broken teenagers must save world.
- World saving is actually impossible.
- Reality ensues and stuff happens.
- Everybody gets hugged and turned into tang (actually the fan meme for the series' ending. The better description is "everybody dies")
Edit - Here's the version, as told by the VA of the protagonist (starts at 1:50):

That sounds incredibly depressing. Remind me to avoid it...

yeah that does sound depressing
again, I'll get back to you whenever I get to actually watch this series
(aside from being busy, I tend to... not really have much of an appreciation for old anime, so >_>')
