'Pokémon Go' Porn Parody Will Ruin Pikachu Forever

You can't say that the producers at Brazzers aren't grabbing an opportunity when they see it, no matter how absurd or predictable that opportunity may be. Movie and TV parodies are regular fixtures of the pornography world, but the trailer for a new Pokémon Go parody (above), titled Pornstar Go, certainly takes things in a different direction.

Not that anyone watching it gives a damn, but it's not really clear what is happening here. With other porn parodies — like the inevitable Suicide Squad parody or the kind of weird Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one — the connection to the source material is clear. With Suicide Squad they even dug into the folklore of the comic book characters to create a completely unnecessary and well-thought out backstory for the scene.

With the Pokémon Go parody, it looks like it's just a guy dressed up as Ash lobbing anal beads (Poké Balls) at the "Pokémon" he finds while out the neighborhood trying to catch 'em all. But, as usual, they have done their research (or maybe they actually play the game) and the Pokémon represented are some fan favorites including gym-champion Vaporeon, Pikachu, and Charizard. According to the press release, the scene guest stars "annoyed neighbors and out-of-the-loop onlookers, similar to the real game experience." True.

There are a buttload of punny places that the parody can go, but if the treatment of Poké Balls in the video is any indication, they didn't just reach out and grab the lowest-hanging fruit. You can watch the trailer above and then anyone who has ever been turned on by a Snorlax can find Pornstar Go at Brazzers on August 8.
