If politics were more like Pokemon, we would be campaigning for Meowth. How can you lose when your platform consists of being totally awesome?
But we digress ... One gamer has captured his view of this year's election lead-up with a mock Pokemon battle between the three presidential hopefuls. It has an obvious pro-Barack Obama slant and an anti-other candidates bias, but it's still clever enough to warrant a look no matter which politician you're leaning towards. Check it out past the post break as an animated GIF image and its evolved form, Youtube video!

"you're" should be "your"

Looking at the briefly-shown KOed candidates, I have a feeling that the choice to represent John Edwards with a Clefairy was not unintentional.
And why is Bill Richardson a............a Sudowoodo, of all things?

Would have been so much better if more time was spent for the attack animations, but that's just me being picky.

Yeah, I was wishing that too. It's too brilliant to not be meticulous about. I also wish the evolution of Obama were more stylized like the actual game; with the whole epileptic flashing and such.

I'm surprised Obama didn't have the "steal speeches" move.

I wish much more time was spent on animations. It wasn't nearly as entertaining as Pokemon battles are.
I'm also disappointed McCain didn't try to use Swift-Boating (works like splash except on Kerry)
