AdanRyder Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Pokemon the first movie. Would be the farest thing from Fallout if Pokemon weren't all mutant animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 When you think about it real hard, and realize that there seem to be no "real" animals in Pokemon and yet it still seems to be Earth, Pokemon very well may have some sort of apocalyptic origin in it that Nintendo doesn't have the guts to tell us.

WrathOfDeadguy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 To throw a few older titles in... Novels: Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank deals with the aftermath of a nuclear war in a small Florida town. More or less what you'd expect, but very well written and intensely realistic. The Tripod Trilogy by John Christopher is set some hundreds of years after an alien invasion reduced human civilization to a mind-controlled society with pre-industrial revolution technology. The humans ascend to an entirely unforgettable level of awesome with the means they use to secure victory. No Blade of Grass, also by John Christopher, follows a family attempting to escape London after a germ-induced famine leads to total societal collapse. Movies: Things to Come by H. G. Wells is set in a world where the Second World War (which hadn't happened yet when it was filmed) brought about the end of civilization as we know it with a combination of aerial bombardment, biological, and chemical warfare. Following the war, there is a lengthy period of barbarism during which the residents of an English town struggle to survive with ruined technology and dictatorial rulers... then the movie shifts to the rebirth of civilization and a rebellion against scientific progress. The great-granddaddy of all post-apocalyptic movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skree000 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Oo yeah also John Wyndam's 'Day of the triffids' inwhich a comet crashes to earth blinding almost everyone, and spawns massive man-eating mobile plants that hunt down the blinded humans like prey. kinda neat :) Some really cool references you guys have listed ill have to write em down and go hunting for em!

Skree000 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 OH an awesome post apocalyptic book, check out Z for Zachariah! just remembered, neat little novel about a girl who lives in a secluded valley that due to its geography shelters her from the nuclear radiation blowing in the winds across the globe. day by day people from her village leave the valley to find out what happened in the world outside, and never return.... really spooky tale, and she has a hunting rifle too! and btw Outer Limits and Twilight Zone have some amazing apocalyptic episodes. There was once an outer limits episode about some kind of Solar incident happening on the other side of the globe, since its nighttime where they are, they were trying to decide if the sun went nova or if it was intense solar radiation burst due to massive solar flares... But if the sun went nova, it wouldnt take long for the explosion to consume the earth hehe... cool episode nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamingboy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Although not Post-Apocalyptic, War Of the Worlds and, to varying degrees, the many films and comic books based upon it all have the "Lone Wanderer" feeling to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
