I like how the very first episode of the anime "Pokemon, I Choose You!" starts with a very similar Game Boy-like sequence between Gengar and Nidorino before transitioning into colored anime and having a live stadium battle between the two, which Ash is then watching on TV. "This could be the end of Nidorino!"
Fun fact - The music when gengar and nidorino are fighting reappears in 2 champion themes in the pokemon games. in Gold/Silver/Crystal, Red’s theme opens up with this song representing kanto and the first pokémon game. It also appears in Sun/Moon for YOUR theme since your character is originally from kanto and imo is like a huge thank you to the player and all of pokemon fans since the sun moon champion theme is so awesome
Anyone else notice that lance's champion theme is an extended version of the music used in this intro?? All through these past 12 years i wondered why that champion theme was so familiar to me the 1st time i heard it and now i know THIS is why! Thxxxx so much for posting this! You have no idea how much this helped put my mind at ease!! Both this and Lance's theme are epic btw. just sayin
@@pricemac I was honestly more curious if you'd reply to an almost 10 year old comment :) You should check it out, there are so many cool mods out there now that weren't around ~9 years ago, almost like playing a brand new game!
years many years after i played this the first time even before pokemon were a thing on TV in my country, and then just watched poke toon and the ending nod to this intro made feel that nostalgia that everything started here.

I was 12 when this game came out. My parents told me that if I got good grades, they'd buy it for me. I busted my ass and studied hard and got the grades I needed, and my mom bought the blue version for me. To this day, pokemon holds a special place in my heart.
The anime used this into at the beginning of the first episode. It was a Gengar. Also, it resembles Gengar's back sprite from red. Other than the claws, it really looks more like gengar than snorlax.
In the very first episode of the anime show of Pokemon, Ash is watching TV the night before he goes to see professor Oak for his first Pokemon. On the screen a nidorino and a Gengar are fighting. IIRC, Bruno and Agatha (from the elite 4) are using them in a battle. I'm guessing that's how they connect.
I Always thought it was Snorlax that the Nidorino is battling at the start. Even though I know it’s supposed to be Gengar it still looks like Snorlax to me… random thing to suddenly become aware if so many years later haha

Yeah it truly did.
You mean Pokémon Green.
@@religiousindustrialaliens pokémon red and green are red and blue but in japanese (with some differences)
@@chocolixo I meant, Red AND Green started it all.
@@religiousindustrialaliens yeah, but red and blue are just red and green in english, so they are the first games

At least 4Kids kept it that made me happy. They should have done that to other animes
They should do it with all New Region In the Anime though.
From game to anime for the first few seconds
And guess when i was born? 1995! XD
The rest is history
It sure is
1996: A game where you catch monsters? It will never last long…
2021: Long live Pokémon!
yes
Hell yeah, Nidorino pwnt that Gengar with a TACKLE!
"It doesn't affect Gengar....IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!"
Always thought it went for either tackle, body slam, or most likely of all horn attack. All 0 percent effective lol
Or maybe poison sting, at least its a not very effective ultra weak attack
He was using bite knowing it would turn into super effective move one generation later
And with this intro our lifelong fascination with Pokemon began.
Anyone come to see this again after watching that Poke Toons short? It was such an awesome nod to this.
for real.. that intro and nidorino scene just get me dem goosebump
such love much nostalgia
What short?

Here after Poketoons. I do remember this from nostalgia, but I love the tie-in they did!
14 people didn't have a childhood
make it 17 people
or maybe they disliked it cause it wasn't the Super Gameboy Version or the FRLG version
TheKHfan358over3d yah but who the fuck cares
Make that 28
Make that 29
Or maybe when they heard the word dislike they thought it ment
“Dis I like”
I remember when the anime first started the first episode began with this intro then it blended into the anime versions of the pokemon, it was awesome

Silly Oak, using nidorino against a ghost type. Agatha got this.

Lfmao 😂😂
This is one of Professor Oak's battles against Agatha! :O
(His Nidorino vs her Gengar)
MIND = BLOWN
Always makes me feel like a kid when I hear and see this. I put so many hours into my original Red Version.
This is the 20th anniversary of pokemon! Gotta catch'em all!
ezio padovano WOOT WOOT!!
Five years later
Now, it is 25th anniversary.
some things never change...
My Favorite Game Boy Game Of All Time.
Anyone else got a huge wave of nostalgia?
I've never played red/blue, why is this so nostalgic
Idk maybe it's because first episode of the anime had a scene like this
Because it’s the quality. No boys which looks like girls. Only quality in sound and gameplay.

I played this at 10 years old until I was 11. Played it again now at 24... Still Epic
Have you played it again since?
@@zenitfan4life Not since, but I'm pretty sure it'd still be decent.

Hey! It's Professor Oak against Agatha! They were such good friends.
Wow, was 15 years ago since I heard this tune the last time O.o
Sign me in at a retirement home...
My favorite part is from 0:10 to 0:20
Me toi
Memories dude this game started everything!!!!!!
FlandersCraft My favorite part of the video was the main part is basically what you're saying
You mean the Genesis sample
Me too
Forever implanted in my brain
I get chills....ohh the memories!
8 years ago lol u alive
And so it began. Wonderful memories. :')
0:10 that was at the beginning of the first episode of pokemon
The game came first.
Sandygobbe RikBayblade Cwa Roblox The game came first
@@NikolasMitsugui of course it came first, but what he means is that they used it in the intro for the anime
Yep
years many years after i played this the first time even before pokemon were a thing on TV in my country, and then just watched poke toon and the ending nod to this intro made feel that nostalgia that everything started here.
its Agatha vs Bruno in the anime look at the episode1
Rhodie Slayer since when does Bruno own a nidorino?
Nidorino knows fighting moves hence why Bruno would have one even though you never fought one in the Elite 4.
In Pokemon Red, when Porf. Oak was explaining about pokemon he shows you a Nidorino, so the battle is Prof. Oak vs Agatha
nah it's just some random wild pokemon battle lmao
@@flatziswashed it’s actually professor oak Pokémon. In Masters there’s a Easter egg that the intro was originally a battle between him and Agatha
wow this is a beautiful video that i love a lot
Happy Pokémon anniversary boys
Happy 24th birthday, Pokémon.
I remember watching this intro so long ago it's so awesome my childhood game
Oh, man... sooo good!!
and millions of lives were changed forever
Anyone else still play the first generation pokemon games?
Cool video!!!
25 years. Memories...
Hm, in almost 15 years, I never realized that the pokemon attacking Gengar was different between versions. Nidorino in Red, Jigglypuff in blue...
I Played this so many times before leave home to school... O_O
My childhood 🥲 still a fan till this day
Epic!
i miss this amazing intro
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL i dont know why i am here but i think is nostalgia xD

Look how far this series go
The rest was history after that.
There's a Poketoon that shows the context of Nidorino VS Gengar that just recently got uploaded.
I love it
My First Gameboy Game.
I remember this! good times...
music to my ears, oh wait, that's music !
I was 12 when this game came out. My parents told me that if I got good grades, they'd buy it for me. I busted my ass and studied hard and got the grades I needed, and my mom bought the blue version for me. To this day, pokemon holds a special place in my heart.
My teenage self played this religiously
Anything to not do homework
Iconic.
This -> 23 years -> Pikachu movie. Right now this sounds like sumerian music to me.
hell yeah! man we are cool!
And the rest is history...
Video used Nostalgia!
Super Effective!
Dolphinface Fainted
One of the best sounds in the world
15 years later, and we still haven't found out what happend to the Gengar and Nidoran.
Right in the childhood
Se me pone la piel chinita

Love ❤️

I got here from Reddit lol.
Something that changed gaming forever.
wow i’ve never realized gengar didn’t have its spikes until now
I really wanna be a animator and if I become one I wanna reanimate this

It's super effective

this game made me a man.
I Always thought it was Snorlax that the Nidorino is battling at the start.

it all began with that screen...
HAPPY POKEMON DAY EVERYBODY!
old school pokemon game is still on top.
my favorite game even though it has bad graphics red/blue started it all.
They actually used the intro in Pokemon: The Origin. That's awesome.
And also in the regular anime
Time to fight! WITH LIMITED GAMEBOY ANIMATION
Now that I think of it, it looks like Nidorino is using Bite, a now-dark type move, and that would be super effective on Gengar.
When your watching and wondering how the Magikarp could be as tall as Red XD

@Carson Chen it is in my team, if it looks strong. don't care about the types... that's how it was at childhood 😂
Kinda funny that Gengar's sprite in Gen 1 has a spiky back, but in the intro it's completely flat. And he has claws.
Against Ghost Type. Gengar stomps.
