- Over A year Ago I started Researching the orgins of johto, what I found blew me away. this information has never been made public by Pokemon, But As I began to dissect these games, Everything began to connect. I'ts been 20 years now, We will likely never get a definitive Answer. But this is without a doubt the closest we have come.
Thank you ❤️

patreon.com/BlueBoyPhin Thank you for watching this video, it took so much out of us to create, many long nights of talking, editing, didnt sleep hardly any for the days up until we posted. This is our magnum opus of a video, and we can do it again. we are still in japan writing the script for the next video about to set off to the next location. But we desperately want to make this happen without sponsors on the videos, so we have created a patreon, where we will be sharing behind the scenes, deleted scenes from this video, and so much extra footage of our adventure's and a lot more, I have always wanted to do a patreon but i never felt like i had something to really give back but I want this to be a new era for pokemon discoveries and we are just getting started. we have so much more information im dying to share. but I want every video with to be carried with care and I want to tell these stories through our lens and give them the human effort they deserve. If you are in the place where you can comfortably support these future videos, we would love to bring more to you. Thank you regardless for watching this. it really was made by 2 people giving it their true hard work and love.
Incredible job, truly a masterpiece
This was probably some of the best produced Pokemon content (And even history content in general) I've seen in such a long time. Genuinely a masterpiece.
I've got that adventurous spirit too guys. You're really living the dream. Truly inspiring, and makes me want to break out the old GBC. Any spoilers you can share about the topic of your next video? I'd love to contribute and share your content in any way I can.
it felt like a very proffesional documentary and i almost forgot it was a pokemon video
wow ¨episode 1¨ this was a work of art. Really great storytelling. Kudos and keep em coming! Cheers from Central America!
Bro went to Japan to make a Pokémon nostalgia lore documentary. Mad respect.
Phin 🤝 Nick Robinson
Going to Japan to make incredible documentaries
And now his whole trip is tax deductible 😅😂 what a heroic madlad!! 😊
Thank you ... Blows my mind that people act like these videos are acts of charity for the viewer
Back in my day I believe such things were called "Pokémon Epics"!
@MrTimah101 it's amazing how people like you think something being tax deductible is like this super secret hack for tons of money. Spending thousands of dollars to save tens of dollar is a genius move for sure...
This really is what made these older games special. The game was an art piece, not a tech demo aiming to make the most money. Somebody LOVED this game and LOVED Japan and went incredibly out of their way just to share that with the world.
Amen!
You right. And fuck Jan for saying GS is garbage.
Facts !!!!
Also what makes gen 2 the best, is it is the first and last time we will ever get 2 full pokemon games in one. And to think they fit 2 full games on Gameboy and we barely get content in the new expansions of the newer games
true but you didn't know that until now lol
Old man here. Gold was the last pkm game I owned. Some jerk in elementary school stole it and my parents refused to get me another pokemon game after that. To say I loved that game would be a massive understatement.
This video made me cry. It gave me some closure. I still remember pokemon mania at its prime. I still remember watching the very first episode of the cartoon. All that I can vividly remember is the AMAZING opening, and the shot of ho-oh (then a total mystery) flying away. That scene stuck with me for over 20 years. And this video made that memory hit me like a truck.
Thank you so much for this
You're not that old, dude.
Glad you found closure bro nostalgia is a beautiful and profound thing and the memories that you have had from the game and watching this i am sure makes this so much sweeter . Wish you well and catch em all
"old man", lol dude what are you like 30? That isn't old
Crybaby
Dude is probably in his early forties
Who ever did the color grading for the IRL shots deserves major kudos. The nostalgia radiated from this video
Feels like it all had a gold glow to it, literally perfect when talking about gold and silver.

Life is truly stranger than fiction. This stuff is the tip of the iceberg, but amazing connections you made none the less! This is awesome… I really recommend Checking out the works of Graham Hanc0ck, Billy Cars0n, Robert Sch0ck, Giorgio Tsoukal0s etc the mystery gets more and more revealing! about our past, where we came from and what is out there and that there may have been a global advance civilisations that exited before us, in ancient history, and that’s just the beginning of what is being revealed.

@@slowdownex nah he is right. deserved to be glazed
@@slowdownexbruh it was really good chill I agree this is def one of the best Pokémon videos I’ve seen the effort here is 10-10 and loved the story telling
I used to live on Awaji Island, the real life equivalent to Johto's Whirl Islands. The island divides the Seto Inland Sea from the Pacific Ocean. The inland sea has a slightly higher water level than the Pacific, which creates perpetual whirlpools where the two meet. They have short boat tours where you can see them up close.
The island's most famous deities are Izanagi and Izanami. The legend goes that Izanagi, from the heavens, dipped his spear into the waters and whirled them up, and when he pulled it out, the crystallized droplets that fell became the islands of Japan. For that reason, Awaji Island is considered to be the origin island, and there is a famous shrine to Izanagi located there.
It's a really cool place and worth spending a day or two there if you take a trip to Japan.
Thank you so much for sharing these historic facts💚💚
Geologist checking in here. First things first, I just want to say this was a really awesome video. Pokemon Silver is my favorite video game and it’s so cool to hear about the real world places that inspired it. Nice job! I can also help clarify a few things.
(1) At 00:00:31 you meant geographically not geologically.
(2) The stone markings you start showing around 00:22:25 are most definitely naturally occurring. The dark parts are mafic inclusions (also called mafic enclaves or xenoliths) set in a lighter colored granitic stone block. Basically the darker parts are pieces of older rocks into which a lighter colored and younger granitic rock intruded as a magma. The magma mixed and melted away most of the older dark rock, but the dark pieces here remained cool and relatively intact during the magma mixing. Then it all cooled together underground and was eventually cut into the blocks you see now. A lot of them are so wiggly and flown looking because they were super hot and ductile when they formed and got pushed around and smeared by the magma. It is the energy of the earth!
Which makes even more sense being the 'energy of the earth' as the move hidden power looks very much like an earth/ground visual move c: Very cool!
So awesome!!! Gold was my favorite ❤
Ah, I was wondering if there was something I couldn't see or if they were talking about the splotches.
Gneiss comment. You really know your schist.
@@TheSeptetyeah, those rock colourations are definitely not the inspiration for unknown. The games tell you they are a language and those splodges of different rocks are nothing like the pokemons designs. The rest of the video is good but that bit was obviously not right.
"A person I met, wandering throught asuka, training to becoming a tourguide took me here. And described this markings as energy markings." So thats why Unown only ever learned the move Hidden Power.
WOAH! That's such a cool connection! It makes so much sense cuz of how intentional every decision in this game is when being connected to real life locations/ideas.
Not the only reason. You look at what these guys do in canon lore in shaping reality, and yeah… the reason they’re stronger in groups is because together they form words. Words have power. Words shape reality. That’s their hidden power.

And this is why Gold/Silver is the GOAT.
Great video!
From the moment I took my first step into Johto as a boy so long ago, I knew there was something special about these games. My young mind couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I just knew. All my life, Johto felt more like home than any place I've lived. I yearned to escape to it every chance I got. As I explored my desire to write stories, I explored Johto more with fanfiction. I did research into it, researched the real-world equivalent, and explored ideas. But never to this extent.
Good sir, you have cleared my mind and explained why I felt so connected to this fictional realm. Thank you. I will be sure to check out your other videos.
The fact that we were all playing something so special without knowing it, to discover years later, is so beautiful.
Isn't that life...? Only as you learn more about it, do you find out how much more you are missing out on? 🫨
Now that I liked it, your comment has 251 likes. That's beautifully convenient
im tellin' ya - the late 90's & early aughts were something _else_ my dudes...and even then i had not a single fascination in the time period during my childhood back then. (maybe outside of spongebob) as my life's been moving forward, i find it just more & more fascinating to study based on any media from the time. artists were taking such huge leaps. i am soooooo grateful for that
I didn’t know why, but Pokemon Silver definitely felt special to me, even all those years ago
@@meh6513 what kind of things are you referring to?
Opened this up for a casual background video type of documentary, but instead got one the most interesting videos I have ever seen on Pokemon
Same. I planned on listening to it while at work. I paused it about ten minutes in and decided to actually watch it after work. 😅
Same. This is the most epic Pokemon documentary ever seen. I wish it was 3 hours.
Same
big same
Same! Now I wanna play lol
I hope this video picks up steam; this was astonishing.
The attention to detail in Johto is truly incredible.
Right!! It deserves billions of views
22:24 “marked on these stones is what can only be described as unknown markings… it's almost moving... some people believe it’s naturally occurring...”
Sorry, they are naturally occurring, and they were moving in magma. As a geologist I can tell you they look just like trachytic enclaves in granodiorite. You can even see some melt margins around them.
Wonderful to see geology influenced these games.
Yeah I wasn't convinced that there was any rhyme or reason to those markings, so I came searching the comments for an expert opinion lol
Yea there's no way anybody was convincing me those were anything but natural random marks.
Explain the giant cut monolithic structures please? There are many monuments around the world without explanation.
When I look up picture of enclaves they don't have the "movement" described in the video, if they are only formed by two sources of magma in liquid state coming together and the pictures are of slow moving magma (since the pictures show unmoving blobs) then these stones are likely from an actual eruption.
@@onlyme0349 Enclave is a very general term that includes many types like schlieren, xenoliths, autoliths, restites, and more. I at first thought it might be an ignimbrite or fiamme, but you can clearly see the equigranular nature of the granodiorite or tonalite host rock and melt rims around the enclaves (at 22:32). Further, you can see the dark inclusions are highly foilated in the various images. However the enclave intermingling (at 22:34) is what finally convinced me. They are likely xenoliths, specifically stoped blocks of country rock schist that fell into the magma and were deformed either during emplacement or through later metamorphism.
Ngl thought the title was clickbait at first but it ended up being the most interesting video I’ve seen in a while.
I know right. Than you get hit with literal life changing facts. Like holy shit gold and silver was a love letter to Japan's positive history. As my first pokemon game being heartgold I feel spoiled with that piece of art. It is art right? Should be.
@@fear_the_smile961Same here, soul silver for me was one of those games that kept on giving.
I remember never really beating it until I was around 15 or so but I always came back to that game because it was so enormous in comparison to the other games at the time.
It felt like there was always more to do and more to see so I replayed it a number of times, even though my DSi had an inverted color scheme after my brother dropped it in the toilet.
Same
check out "can I beat pokemon FireRed while blind and deaf?". You may THINK you know what the video entails, but it's not that... it's even better. It's a literal masterpiece.
edit: it's not a traditional challenge run, it's a TAS that takes in ALL POSSIBLE RNG STATES (!!!) to make a button sequence that can beat pokemon no matter what happens, without ever knowing which of many "parallel universe" game states you are currently in. It accounts for all contingencies except for the dreaded (but very rare) _fast pidgy._
i think it wasnt so click bait after all, the crazy discovery is that it had a deeper meaning than we could have imagined
I'm 32, and some days, when I walk outside and smell the air, I still think about that feeling I had as a kid playing pokemon at the park, and I think, "I wonder what Pokemon I will find today."
It didn’t “literally “ do anything and it is all on a phone not life
@@BagzAndPresident You must be fun at parties
Sometimes I get a whiff of air that takes me immediately back to walking home from school playing SoulSilver on my DS and I miss it so much
@@BagzAndPresident Yeah it's on a phone. Pokemon don't exist lol.
@@clintonleonard5187 what are you so unhappy about
This straght up made me cry. This is one of the best gaming related videos I've ever seen in general. It's a fantastic documentary with an amazingly heartfelt message, a lot of small, fun situations (you running while saying "these are some of the biggest spiders I've EVER seen was 100% relatable lol) and with a ton of super interesting information. Thank you. Subbed, and looking forward to anything else you put out.
What I love most about this video is that it's not just a video for your channel and to talk about Pokemon lore and whatnot, but it's also such a good video to your friends.
I've made videos for my friends and hearing their reactions was my favorite part. The ending of this video was so heart warming, I can tell you guys all had so much fun
This genuinely blew my mind, especially that Gold - Sun and SIlver - Moon discovery/connection discovered. WOW. Great research and on-the-ground work about something none of us knew about.
It was quite obvious to say the least.
"Golden sun & silver moon" are lyrics stated in plain english in the 1st japanese opening for Johto
Diamond Fuji is when the sun aligns with the peak of Mt. Fuji & Pearl fuji is when the moon aligns with fuji. Yang (White part) represents the sun, Yin (black part) represents the moon which was used in gen 5 for the legendaries. I bet if you deep dive you could probably find a connection to sun and moon too Xerneas and Yveltal, heck maybe even Zacian, Zamazenta, Koraidon and Maraidon. Groudon sets up the sun and Kyogre sets up the rain (moon is connected to water).
@@saffron97That's because they reuse the same elements for every generation, but they aren't the same.
They started in gen 1, however. With the Red/Blue/Green/Yellow patterning, Mew and Mewtwo, and many other things.
But that’s not what the Japanese guy said. He said that silver represents living things
Man this also explains why the original opposite to Ho-oh was a tiger-wolf looking thing. It was likely meant to be Byakko prior to Lugia being created for the movie. How absolutely wild. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows that Lugia fact lol
Sun and Moon confirmed offsprings of Gold and Silver???
Do you have a pic?
@@marquezwells55unfortunately links get deleted by youtube but you might find it by looking up something along the lines of “gold and silver beta”
@@marquezwells55 I think they're talking about Arcanine. It was pictured with the legendary birds in the anime
Edit: added "the"
Loved the video. The amount of connection between every little thing from the Pokemon encounters, the structural design, and the npc dialogue shows all the work that went into this small part of the game most of us glossed over.
This is genuinely amazing work bro, gold tier video right here. Thanks for making this, it’s so awesome to discover this.
This literally combines my deepest interests: Pokemon, history, and archaeology into one. I wonder what deep lore other regions may have?
THIS 😮 I'm so excited to know?!!
None they stopped giving a fuck after 4
Sadly i think gold/silver/heart/soul had the most detail like this because the team cared a lot more about this region
I think after Gen 2 they set on printing money and couldnt spend much time creating a world
@@user-fg8ml5jd4g5*
This is the kind of thing that makes Pokémon so much deeper than their surface. Not just deeper, but more inspiring and meaningful. So many of my closest friendships and travel experiences have come about because of Pokémon, and to see the legends of the world inspire each generation again and again brings me to tears. Thank you for going on this journey so that we could see the past and present converge with you!
This is only thanks to Gamefreak and Japs.
If it were for americans Pikachu would be a tiger with bubys. Unironically the americans at Nintendo of america asked Gamefreak to turn pikachu into a tiger with B. 00. bs

@@toloanin pokemon is deeper than all religions
These have always been my favorite games and watching this has solidified that. Thank you so much for making something like this.
The absolute madlad, entering a dark cave, not fearing snakes, bats or raccoons. I could never.
I was 8 years old when I first started exploring the Ruins of Alph. I remember people being shocked when I told them (people) I could read Unown, and I remember feeling how...real this place had felt to me. Even now 20 years after the fact.
Hearing this justified a large amount of feelings that had never been understood or acknowledged by others. The kids and adults around those real life ruins no doubt have lived their whole lives feeling the same thing for different reasons. That's what makes this all so special. Game Freak wanted us to know that feeling, to understand and be curious, and feel alive as you look at Unown and pursue the bigger picture of life and its meanings. You might not find an answer, but you do find something just as, if not even more profound and fulfilling trying.
Thank you for this. I can't wait for Episode 2.
❤😭🎮
Yessss this!! Thank you for putting into words.
This vid was the closure I needed after so long.
I really like the color grading in the irl footage. This is also a reason why GSC/HGSS are my favorite games, it seems so grounded and something that could actually exists, but yet it's so mythological. Not that I enjoy only realism, it's that I want a real life Typhlosion :)

Gold and silver always had a mystical aura that no other games in the series could replicate and this video all but confirms its not just my nostalgia.
Imagine being a kid in japan and playing these games when they came out, knowing all the references to history, geography, and your own personal memories. Must be an inimitable experience
For all the shortcomings of the 3DS era, I do feel that Alola got darn close, the atmosphere alone was perfect.
Gen 4 also had tons of mythology though admittedly it felt more celestial than terrestrial. The fact that the remakes came out for Gen 4 is honestly a huge deal in how they parallel thematically (and the secret with Arceus and the Shinjo ruins was also PEAK). And I know Sinnoh is based on Hokkaido to some extent or another so I can’t wait to see how true-to-life it is!
Also Hoenn has the best natural landscapes. They were my first and I feel like I could camp out on those routes for forever!
And the games super importent
this vid is a masterpiece man the editing, your narration, the clips and scenery and images of inside the tombs you showed, the story being told and the teaching of history here were all just fantastic!
you should be very proud of this video
This deserves so many more views! Had this on my watch later whilst visiting Japan myself. I was so excited to finally get around to it and it didn't disappoint!
The fact the Unown are letters is perfect game/art design. You can easily clear one puzzle, and it releases a few. But as soon as you see it you have to ask “Where are the rest of the letters?” and know there are more puzzles you’ll have to solve, keeping you coming back again and again as you gain new improvements to progress further.
Bro did not just pull out the 'Episode 1' lmao XD
Great video man, keep it up. We love your content.

This is one of the best videos in the entire platform i've ever seen about Pokemon. Incredible work!
Oh crap! Is the whole "life itself is a mystery" angle the reason they always give us mysteries in every gen but never concrete answers?
It used to somewhat frustrate me how nothing's ever confirmed or denied about certain pokemon and lore, but now it all kinda makes sense!
This video is brilliant! Beautiful work!
Why did I scroll to this comment right as he said it 😶
It’s funny. This sort of thing is personally something I always liked about Pokemon. Being able to use my imagination about the unknown elements as a kid drove much of my life-grabbing interest, and it makes me happy that even these days the series maintains the same feel. I liked that Area Zero doesn’t really get very thoroughly explained in SV for example
Simply an amazing video with great cinematography and story telling. I miss the days Pokémon games had this level of depth and care put into them. Hope those days would come back some day.
I’m speechless. I didn’t know what to expect, but man… this video really moved me. It makes me want to visit the area, walk the path through each city as the player does, and experience it all myself. I need to play HGSS again.
I would’ve never guessed they went that deep with the details with this games. I thought they just made it up this whole time. I knew certain cities and towns in the games are based on places in real life but I didn’t know they went that far into detail with it
Right...blew my mind...
If the Johto games are real life, then real life has a terrible level curve lmao

Just commenting for the algorithm because you going to Japan to give me the most nostalgia I’ve felt in years absolutely deserves all the engagement I can give. Definitely subbing for this
You can really feel the passion you made this with. Have a new subscriber
Knowing that Gold/Silver was initially intended as the last pokemon game since GameFreak never thought it would become the monolith pocket monster franchise as it did (+Satoro Iwata coming in clutch with his programming skills, fitting not just Johto but Kanto as well), the people behind Gold and Silver pulled out ALL THE STOPS to make one final hurrah to make the best sequel to a game they could. And this video really showcases the amount of Heart and Soul poured into those games many years back. God tier video man, good shit.
That's not even a true statement.
@@braillynn4903 which part?

Hands down the best video on Pokemon ive ever watched, thank you for bringing back something in me i thought was long lost.
Legit one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Pacing, edits, flow, music, narration, content. Man this is hard to beat. Amazing work. Also I was genuinely mind blown at the connections you found to Japanese myths and the games. Amazing that we never really knew this til over 20 years later.
IMO it's just more proof that the first couple of Pokemon games are just absolute perfection.
Great story telling and editing! Thank you for producing this
This has got to be the most magical video I've witnessed on CZcams. THANK YOU for sharing this journey with us.
Man this got me so emotional. As a kid, Gen 2 always felt like going on a walk before the sun completely set. But not for the adventure. Just for the peaceful exploration. It's like the games were nostalgic even when they came out.
Beautiful video 👏👏👏
I often played the game while literally going on a walk …
Sooo... they ARE energy markings 😆
This is legitimately probably my favorite video on CZcams now. In one video you educated me so much and also made me change my entire way that I see the Ruins of Alph from being incomplete, untapped waste of potential to the absolute magic and mystery of what they represent to the point I get chills. What an absolutely amazing journey that must have been. Thank you.
Well done, thoroughly enjoyed the story and perspective thanks for all the hard work!
This is a fantastic video I absolutely loved it! And learning all the history was amazing! Hope to see more parts!
You just casually dropped my favorite pokemon doc/vidoc/essay etc that I’ve ever seen. I’m speechless - you captured the feel of the boys walking on the train tracks that would play on your tv in Red and Blue. That was beautiful. Please keep going and be proud of the amazing work you just published!
This is probably the most well-made Pokemon video I've ever seen. Every aspect of it was so well done, and it really sparked that sense of adventure that the games used to ignite in me when I was a kid.
What a video! It blew my mind away through the entire length of it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Earlier this year I ran up Crystal with the mission to catch all of the Unown and do the homework myself to decipher all I could in regards to them. In the Unown Pokedex, there are these seemingly random sample words under the picture for each one:
Give, Help, Keep, Find, Join, Chase, Engage, Increase, Direct, Bear, Want, Undo, Search, Angry, Vanish, Laugh, Nuzzle, Tell, Observe, Reassure, Zoom, XXXXX, Perform, Quicken, Yield, and Make.
No idea what any of it's about but damn was it a blast being a "researcher" in-game and irl like that, I was so excited to get to each point so I could go back to the Ruins and explore them more. The mystery and wildness of life is unspeakable in so many ways, but you did a great job verbalizing it here man.
You know, thinking about those words in regard to the two warring clans of Asuka as well as the implication that the unown writing comes from the descendants of the kimono girls it makes me think that these are just indicators of human existence 1500 years ago. Words surrounding conflict, joy, work, emotions, everything that just being a human entailed (and still entails, generally). Each of those words could've told a story had we more context.
Probably not a very satisfying theory, but real life analogues to things like this often aren't either.
The words describe being human, if you ask me.
If you ask me that's Buddhist beliefs. Amazing research. One of the easter eggs I've always wanted to figure out.
This is one of the coolest videos that I've ever watched on this site, Pokemon-related or not. Excellent work!
What an incredible adventure! I loved this! These kinds of adventures are what pokemon is about
This was a wondeful video that has left me yearning to know more of these sites and places. Thank you.
growing up in a place that a pokemon region is based on, for me being alola, you get a completely unique experience of exploring those regions and the details and love put into the games by the creators to show respect to them. i loved being able to connect places in Alola to real places in Hawaii on an almost 1:1 map, reliving childhood adventures and mystery through the lens of little monsters who want to be my friends. I can only dream of that experience for the other pokemon regions, and hope it brings the same joy to others.
truly incredible and beautiful video that resonated with me deeply, i really want to visit japan one day to tour different locations that pokemon games were inspired by. your editing and filming enhanced the experience so much and made me tear up by the end. I can't believe this is only an episode 1!
As someone from Britain... Uhh we got screwed over, I can't recognise anything at least in location. There are ideas everywhere, but the placement and reason doesn't make sense...
I can feel the passion and hard work that it took to put this together. Thank you for giving us a deeper appreciation for these classic games.
What an awesome video!!! Thoroughly enjoyed 👏🏻
12:30 Elder Japanese mystic man points to an ancient star map and says, "Gōrudoshirubā". This just got real gang.
We really got hit with episode 1. I was listening to this in the background as I was prepping dinner and had to start the whole video over. This was some really nice work. Johto, along with Hoenn and Alola are my favorie regions. Nice work! :))
Oooohhh, what a beautiful video! So much information in it, a deep dive both in the games and real life history. But also the cut, presentation and music is just amazing. Especially around the end I was absolutely taken aback. Great job!
This whole video consistently kept giving me chills. Good work
Ok this is awesome i can't believe how deep this Rabbit hole truly went until now great video
Phin's voiceovers and scripts really make you feel something after watching his videos. This video felt so profound
This is the best Pokémon video/content I’ve seen in years! Shoutout you and your passion 💪🏽💪🏽
I've watched every upload of yours for years, but this takes the cake by far. Well done, from the narrative and footage to the editing and ambiance
11:00 casually puts a clip of them in the tomb freaking out and running. Provides no explanation. Lol
They literally screamed bats lmao
@@tydshiin5783 auugh. idk how I missed that lmao
@@tydshiin5783 should've brought a repel, any pokemon player knows zubats will drive you nuts in any dark cave-like area
How is this not blowing up more, I don’t understand. I cannot wait for episode two, thank you for making this what it is!
this was fantastic the music every thing thank you
These are my favorite games, what a cool video. Thank you!
The mystery dungeon music is hitting me in the feels 😭 amazing video ❤
25:15 “There are real human intentions that brought this into existence.”
There’s something I’ve never considered so beautifully human. Not just the sharing of knowledge, but the sharing of mystery. The people who built those ancient structures and those finding out about them for themselves today, though almost entirely disconnected, are effectively telling a brand new story.
That Solaceon Ruins tablet from Sinnoh was right: “When every life meets another life, something will be born.” We humans just can’t stop being intrigued.
This was lovely, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Beautiful. Ty for your hard work constructing this
Thank you for creating the most cinematic Pokemon CZcams video ever, this is really special.
That 3 minute intro made me tear up, that was great
This is one the best videos that I ever saw on CZcams. Simply amazing
Incredible video; made with reverance, love and respect for the game and the history behind it. Thank you.
