Yes the game is the "canon" and it's child friendly, however there are some pretty dark spin off, like Pokémon XD on GameCube where you have an enemy that use corrupted and pure evil specimen of Pokémons that you have to stole and purify, or the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, that starts happily and ends with an apocalypse, millennial curses, indiscriminated hate and ostracism (and it's too damn hard).
The manga too is pretty nice, and it's quite gore at times, violent Pokémon fights are a constant (I remember an Arbok cut in half).
The movies are pretty special too, the fourth had a Pokémon death on screen, but after the 6th - 7th movie they were all recycling of themes for previous movies.
