Honestly, it somewhat hurt my soul to hear them not know what a Nintendo DS was.
I had to double take when I heard that. I know that not everyone will know every console, but the Nintendo DS was such a booming little handheld, followed by the DSI and later 3DS line of consoles some time after! I'm shocked honestly.
@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958And it isn't as though they're too young! These guys are what, late 30s?
This dumbfounded me honestly lol
I don't know every console untill highschool, where I found pokemon games and emulator...
Gba, gbc, nds and such.
You should have crowned this video with "25 Years of Pokemon Celebration"
But Pokémon is 28 years old now.
It’s funny that you called the blue deer beautiful, as it’s the legendary Pokémon of life. Also, Pokémon battle by nature. Even without the influence of humans, they would still regularly do battle. The humans of the Pokémon world use that natural part of the creatures to strengthen their bonds.
Animals always fight, welcome to life lol.
You guys should react to all the Pokémon anime intros, they’re all pretty good.
If copyright doesn't bite them in the rear, then I agree.
I recommended that plenty of times in the past, but since they went with just the trailers, I’m assuming they thought the openings were too much of a copyright risk.
Copyright doesn't mess around, especially ShoPro
The mainline Pokemon games have always been on handhelds, probably so you can take them anywhere and play at school and friends' houses and stuff. There are a number of spinoffs and side games on consoles, like Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Colosseum, and Pokepark Wii, but the main games only started coming to consoles with Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee on the Switch, since it's both a console and handheld.
Also, each game having different versions is meant to encourage trading with other players, because each version of a game has some exclusive items and Pokemon. If you want to 100% complete a Pokemon game, you basically have to trade with others.
or buy both games.
Correction for the last point: that's what it WAS meant to do. Then later on only existed for the sake of getting die hard fans to double, or even triple, dip. Of course, they made better differentiations in Scarlet and Violet, but it's the sort of thing that still could've been combined into one game with a singular branching path, rather than expecting people to buy a whole second game for a small amount of different content.
Ya know, like nearly any other game would.
Pokemon was originally Pocket Monsters, it was to fit in your pocket.
@@Sin_Alder the third Yokai Watch game did that, where the Japanese versions had separate releases but the western one just had them all be split routes in one game
Ok, so you saw that Pokemon that looks like a llama stuck in a golden fence? That's Arceus, AKA: LITERALLY GOD!!!
Oh wow I haven’t seen you in a long while since like 31 Horas music videos for smash ultimate ost. Greetings good sir
Pokémon was relegated to hand held systems because in Japan it was called Pocket Monsters before being shortened to Pokémon. Also if you want to learn more about Pokemon, channels like Bird Keeper Toby and Lockstin & Gnoggin. They cover both the lore of the series and the Pokémon themselves. Lockstin has series called Every Pokémon type explained which I recommend checking out.
Lockstin is a good one, though even if they're older videos, TheJWittz, and TheNationalDex were good channels too
God, I loved that psychotic bus driver. Even as a kid I thought that was hilarious.
Nintendo commercials of 80s/90s America were CRAZY.
Once you jump into the Pokemon rabbit hole you’ll never get out.
Definitely not definitive?! Reacting to Pokemon?! My favorite series?! LETS GO, WOULD YA?!
I think a few trailers were missed here: I don’t think I saw any of the animated trailers or the Sw/Sh trailer that premiered dynamax.
As for why Pokémon battles are a thing, I’ve always held a particular head canon. Real life cats and dogs play to hone the instincts they need to survive, and more than a few puppy playdates have turned into growling and biting. For Pokémon it’s the same thing, only now we’ve got critters that casually blitz out lightning bolts, flames, particle beams and weather phenomena as casually as a kitten pounces a ball of yarn.
It's a shame they didn't include the Legends Arceus trailer where they straight up say "Pokémon are terrifying creatures." But seriously, for the most part, Pokémon battles aren't life and death, there just friendly competitions. The worst thing that can happen to your Pokémon, in battle, is them getting knocked out, and even that's not a big deal, as the Pokémon world has free health care.
The reason the games come in pairs is to encourage trading. Each game only has some of the Pokémon, the only way to get them all is to trade with someone who has the other version.
If you want to learn more about the series, I suggest watch all the (English) Anime Openings next. That or just start watching the Anime. The first season holds up surprisingly well. If you'd rather just watch the movies, I suggest starting with movie 20, "Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!" It's basically a reimagining of the first season
The Pokémon games have always been on Handheld consoles. This stays true to the fact it is currently on the Switch which actually is a console you can hold in your hand.
And the reason there’s always 2 versions is because different Pokémon only show up in specific versions and the games promoted trading creatures with friends to collect them all.
Obviously with Wi-Fi being a thing, this has become much more easier than using a cable between Gameboys.
Now as for the appeal of Pokémon you asked for Beth? It’s simple. The fantasy of collecting cute/cool/weird creatures is a concept any little kid will like. And utilizing them to see which one of them is stronger is more or less just a competition to see who trained their monsters the best. While they can look cute, these creatures are very tough and have a lot of power to them. So while I don’t blame you if you just see this as glorified dog-fighting. But a battle between Pokémon is the equivalent of 2 martial artists going at it to see who is better. And while it looks like some sort of enslavement, it’s up to the Pokémon themselves if they find the trainer worthy enough to have them. The anime shows Pokémon can pop out of their little Pokéballs whenever they want.
That being said. Because Pokémon has been around for so long, they’ve obviously expanded on how Pokémon coexist with humans. And it’s really interesting because even though this series is aimed towards kids, they’ve tackled some pretty heavy subjects like abuse, terrorism, mental illness, and heck, even the first game had the concept of Death shown in a particular town. They actually showed that Pokémon can die! Obviously that never happens to your Pokémon when you’re playing the game (otherwise this game would not have gotten to kids), but it goes to show even by the first game, they wanted to fully flesh out their world. And ever since, Pokémon has been one of the BEST SELLING franchises of all time.
And just a side tangent. When Ken asked “What the heck is a DS?” That actually made me feel old even though I’m in my mid 20’s. It was basically another handheld console meant to surpass the Gameboy Advance. The DS was a dual screen handheld that actually utilized touch controls and a built in microphone. It still had the simple buttons on the side, but if you played any DS game, it would always utilize the touch screen and/or microphone. Pretty innovative at the time. Then the 3DS was improvement of that with the only upgrade being better hardware and a 3D toggle (which I didn’t use a lot).
23:17 - And Beth, as an avid Charmander fan, I am ashamed that you somehow mistook that big hulking Dragonite for the cutesy Charmander. And no, they are not related. They are completely separate Pokémon. But I guess they are both friend-shaped, so no harm no foul.
The funny thing is though, you guys only watched the trailers for the main series games. Pokémon is so huge that they’ve had plenty of spin-off games in the past.
Some even loved by the fans. Like you guys have no idea just how large the spin-offs overtake the main games. There are so MANY!
The most recent games, Scarlet and Violet, touched on bullying in such an eerily realistic way that I had to set the game aside for a while because it hit me so hard.
And that game's ending is DEPRESSING and touches on some very hard hitting stuff that far too many kids and adults can identify with. To avoid spoilers, I'll be vague, but Arven's story was based on the director's own life.
When watching this we thought that this wasn't very many trailer for a franchise as big as pokemon so not surprised that there are a ton of spinoff games 🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames i mean pokemon is pocketmonsters so its in your pocket it will always be handheld
For context on why Pokémon battle each other, it kinda depends. If they're wild Pokémon, they're doing it to survive. If they're with a person (a trainer) they accompany them within their Poké Balls and battle to better themselves. Now here's the thing- Pokémon DECIDE if they want to be caught or not. If they don't want to be caught, they break the ball.
Funnily enough, Legends: Arceus touches on this, since people saw them akin to just monsters, not friends you can bond with. It also shows that not all of them are battlers- many just hang out with people.
From battles, to contests, there are multiple ways for Pokémon and trainers to bond with each other, as it's the key part of the series.
A side game, PokéPark, explained that a lot of times they battle as a form of greeting, to settle disputes (even minor ones), or just to kill time
Ehh....not fully true with the Pokemon deciding if they want to be caught. Master Ball says you caught boy, and you ain't leaving lol. Also how does it work when a pokemon breaks out on ball 1-3 but then the 4th one works? What changed for them to suddenly be like you know what...I'm suddenly now okay with being caught.
So the reason that all these games came out in twos and why they were all on handhelds, it was for interaction. The series creator wanted kids to be able to take their games along with them so you can have adventures both in game and irl at the same time. At the same time, youd be able to take it to meet your friends with the game.
As for why youd want to meet up with your friends along with your game is the social element of the series. Even from the series conception Battle and Trading eachother's pokemon is a necessity to the franchise. That is why the games release in 2. Both games are basically identocal with the exception of a handful of Pokemon that are exclusive to either game. The point of the series is to catch them all so if you want a Growlithe, but you are playing Blue, you should go find one of your friends that play Pokemon Red and ask that friend to trade you.
Next, for the themes of the series, Most pokemon enjoy staying in the Poke balls, as they effective simulate a paradise for the pokemon at the same time. Pokeballs work like the Tardis where they are magically larger on the inside than the outside. In terms of battling, Pokemon are more than capable of refusing to battle, and generally enjoy battling. Although having a Pokemon that doesnt enjoy battling doesnt happen often in the games because itd be less fun, but its much more common in the Pokemon Anime. Also Pokemon battles arent to the death, just until the Pokemon looses passes out.
Clarification, Jigglypuff was one of the original 151. When Fairy type was added, it and various other Pokémon were retroactively given the Fairy typing.
Additionally, Pokémon are not forced to fight. Pokémon as a species naturally battle, either to grow stronger and evolve or just for their own enjoyment. It's more of a combat sport like boxing or MMA than an actual fight. Extended pieces of media show that when one doesn't want to fight, it is considered a forfeit, and forcing one to fight is regularly depicted in moral negative point of view.
There are so many Pokemon games that it can be overwhelming trying to keep track of them all. Even in just the main series alone you have;
* Red, Blue, and Yellow. Plus their remakes of Fire Red, Leaf Green, Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.
* Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Plus their remakes of Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
* Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Plus their remakes of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Plus their remakes of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
* Black, White, Black 2, and White 2
* X and Y
* Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon
* Sword and Shield. Plus it's DLC, The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra.
* Legend's Arceus
* Scarlet and Violet. Plus it's DLC, The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk.
* And Legends Z-A coming next year.
Those are all just the MAIN series of games. The number of Spin-offs in insane.
Pokemon Pinball, Hey You Pikachu, The TCG games, The Pokemon Stadium games, Coliseum, XD Gale of Darkness, The Pokemon Snap series, Puzzle League, Pokemon Go, Pokemon Conquest, Pokemon Rumble, Picross, Trozei, Cafe, Sleep, Unite, The Mystery Dungeon Series, The Pokemon Ranger Series, Detective Pikachu.
And there's still a ton of them that I'm forgetting. It's the most profitable franchise in the world for a reason.
Some things to address, the relationship between humans and pokemon arent just forcing creatures to fight. They could refuse/turn on their trainer if they wanted to. (The anime and even Black & White has addressed/shown instances of it)
Many of the games regions are based off of real life locations.
Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum locations are all based in parts of Japan
Black & White in New York
X & Y in France
Sun & Moon in Hawaii
Sword & Shield in England
Scarlet & Violet in Spain
There is so much lore regulating Pokemon that would be its own subject all together. And this is from the games, anime, etc.
Not the Dragonite being called a charmander 😂 love it
Pokémon is one of the most watched animes
The Pokémon games have much deeper stories than the trailers show
Fun fact: pokemon is the highest grossing entertainment franchise in history. Star wars was sold for around 4 billion. Pokemon makes that much every year
You know that Star Wars was sold to Disney in 2012, today Star Wars is worth 46 billion dollars. So you cant compare scales from over a decade ago with today. Pokemon is still higher with almost double of what Star Wars is worth but still and incorrect comparison from you
@@nilso3196 you know that net/gross worth is different from revenues? My comment is considering that which Is why I made that comparison to emphasis how well their sales are, so not incorrect in this context
@@BurntBattleBagel Yes it is because even if you use what you said as an argument you cant compare it. You said Star Wars was sold for 4 billion but pls tell me when Pokemon was sold. Never you are correct. So how would you compare something like that to each other, oh wait let me think there is something called net/gross. And wow look at that, thats how you determine the statistics for which franchise is the highest grossing one. Its even in your own sentence "highest GROSSING"
@@nilso3196 and pokemon is worth 96 billion. everything I've said was correct, you're just repeating what I've said and looking for a reason to argue. I'm not going to do that just because you're a star wars fan or some shit. Just drop it
Oh my god you guys should totally check out the opening cutscene from each pokemon game, they look so cool
I thought that was what they would be reacting to when they put it on the poll
The pokemon don't battle to death, if their HP reaches 0 they just faint and are then recalled to their pokeballs (not sure if you were being serious about this but I wanted to adress this just in case). They can easily get healed afterwards in advanced medical facilities known as pokemon centers, which are widely distributed throughout each major region.
It's true that there is a big emphasis on catching and collecting lots of different pokemon species, but an important theme throughout the series is about how humans and pokemon also benefit from coexisting with eachother. Though there are of course people who abuse pokemon for their own evil goals, like for example Team Rocket who are the main antagonists of the first two generations of pokemon games.
The legendary Pokemon ARE the main characters of Pokemon. All are based around different myths and legends all around the world. The legendary Pokemon are what make the games for me they are just so cool in terms of their designs. I also like the fact that Pokemon does a good job at taking us around the world each reagin attributing to that. Scarlet and Violet take us to Spain while Black and White take us to New York. There's so much to explore with just the Pokemon games it's amazing.
I feel like legendary Pokemon are the best thing about Pokemon. These Pokemon have the most lore around them and the Pokemon movies are fun doing a great job of showing off there powers and abilities.
Pokemon games always come in twos because they're meant to have a somewhat social element baked into it. Each version allows you to catch a different legendary Pokemon and there are some Pokemon only available on each version. The intent is that you trade Pokemon and battle with your friends who have the other version. That's also why most of the games were on handheld devices. Before the internet was commonplace you would link up your handhelds with a cable or wirelessly. Home consoles didn't have inter connectivity. Even after online gaming became more commonplace, you just couldn't beat the portability of handheld devices.
The original purpose of selling the games as two versions was to have exclusives on each game to encourage people to trade Pokemon with their friends. It still does that to this day just through online features mostly. Some people do get both versions though. They even sell them in packs of two.
When it comes to pokemon battle, it's in the same vien as a team Martial arts match. And yes, the closer your friendship levels, the stronger they get. It's a sport with rules and a strong since of sportsmanship.
Basically, the world of pokemon is a much more idealized version of ours. Not everyone battles, some do contests or Broadway style shows, or even construction or farming with their partner pokemon.
The 1st 4 generations are based on regions of Japan. Starting with gen 5 ,it's been based on different countries throughout the world with their own legendaries, customs, and villains to face.
There was a region based outside Japan in third gen. Orre from the Colosseum and XD games is based on Arizona
@@BJGvideos I was only thinking of the mainline games.
Man I would LOVE for these two to watch the first Pokemon movie sometime
I swear the older Pokemon game trailers were either simple and cute or the most psychotic monstrosities ever.
😂 that’s a good way to sum it up
the mainline games were limited to handheld games so they can do the trading and battle features most of the side games were the ones to be on consoles. Mystery dungeon, the trading card game, pokemon puzzle, pokemon pinball, pokemon ranger, pokemon dash, pokemon trozei, conquest, pokemon typing, rumble blast, pokedex 3D, battle trozei, art academy, shuffle, rumble world, picross, and detective pikachu were handheld spinoff game. Quest, msters ex, sleep, GO, tcg online is mobile.
To understand the pokemon world. You kind of need to play the games and watch the anime also to be honest. Can't learn everything from just the trailers. Through experience with hands on gaming and the tv shows and the movies. Just everything 😊
23:17 I can say to you Beth as that ain’t a Charmader, as that Pokémon was Dragonite 😅
So I can say that Pokémon really branch their creativity to be more amazing in designing Pokémon in every aspect or species out there to form real life animals with fictional creatures throughout each lore they follow 😄
I also got to state in my College being an art college. There is a “Life Drawing” class that we have to draw any cartoon character in their Skeleton, Muscle and Outline forms. As there been a lesson that we have to draw Pokémon. It was tough but we had some winners to compete it all 😄
Watching these old POKÉMON Trailers is giving me Nostalgia and goosebumps
So Gamefreak, by Generation 6 of Pokemon, decided to introduce new Game Mechanics which brought both new and old fans to the series. The Mechanic added was Mega Evolution. Pretty much giving temporary forms to pokemon which also boosts their stats.
And that's just the thing, Generation exclusive mechanics are a thing. So Gens 7 - 9 had their own mechanics. However, now with Pokemon Legends Z-A, we're getting Mega Evolution returning next year. That's 11 years since it was introduced to the community via the games X and Y.
Also, before I forget, a leak proves that Pokemon Z was going to be a thing but got scrapped. Meaning that Pokemon X and Y were meant to have a third game which would have been like either Pokemon Platinum or have been like Black2 & White2. So legends Z-A is a redemption.
-Platinum pretty much combines Diamond and Pearl while adding new content.
-Black2 & White2 are canonical Sequels to Black & White.
they aren't battles to the death bethany. Trainers capture, love, and pit each other in battles to the pain
I really enjoyed your reaction. Especially the early clips brought back some memories. As for the pokemon being captured, generally it's shown in the television shows that a pokemon chooses to work together with a trainer. They have a choice to leave. (They can escape their pokeball anytime or permanently break it) Pokemon are generally competitive and like to test their strength against other pokemon.
Not all are fighters though. You have for example pokemon that are trained to support and help patients in hospitals.
You have aura or psychic pokemon who can sense what humans are feeling and help psychologists in treating them.
A pokemon can choose to go with a trainer because it could be curious about the world, feels a connection to the person they met, or simply because it wants to become stronger. While a pokemon battles for their trainer and can get injured it's not a one-way street. A trainer gives a pokemon food, valuable vitamines, special candies that strengthens their bodies, and access to new moves a pokemon may never be able to learn in the wild.
The trailer for Legends Arceus was a bit misleading in hindsight. It implied that pokemon were roaming free and humans were going to change that. Legends Arceus touches on the bonds between pokemon and humans. In ancient times they were often seen as monsters that would attack people. This game was about getting a better understanding of them.
Aw~ memories~ i remember when these came out. The Photo Booth and Bus are super nostalgic for me.
So the way I always saw Pokémon Battles is that.. Pokémon eat and sleep, but they don't exhaust any waste. So by using their powers they release the energy they stored up by eating and sleeping. But using powers just anywhere is dangerous, so why not an a (mostly) controlled environment?
But that's just my theory...
Aaaa Game Theory!!
People would say that the Generation IV (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver) and & Generation V (Black & White and their sequels) are the peak of the series. I would say that's true, but X&Y (along with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) are my personal favorites, as they're the first games to go 3D and introduced the best gimmick in the series.
Legends Arceus was such a breath of fresh air and I'm glad we're getting the Pokemon Z we've been asking for years as a Legends game 😭
Eh, personally, I prefer Crystal. It wasn't my first (Red) but it was such an amazing sequel. I will also say that ORAS is a remake done right. By far the best remake.
I like gen 7 before the lets go games that was peak for me
For more meta background on Pokémon though, the creator was a guy name Satoshi Tajiri.
He used to play in a more rural version if Japan as a kid. He and his friends collected bugs.
A lot of development happened. He's nostalgic and has a more environmentalist lens of the world. That kind of messaging shows up in a lot of Pokémon games.
He and his friends were also fans of the "Dragon Quest" series (it's the progenitor for jrpgs as a game genre and *extremely* popular in Japan). But, he and his friends were disappointed that they couldn't trade their items around between each other.
There were other "creature collection" games before Pokémon like Dragon quest 5 and Shin Megami Tensei. So Pokémon just took inspiration from those.
They merged these three concepts when they got the greenlight from Nintendo and Japan got Pokémon Red and Green in '96 or '97. Then it became a global phenomenon because of the premise of "Catching em all" lending itself really well into being marketed at children.
Almost every single piece of Pokémon media is disconnected from each other. They have little to do with one another except that some of the games reference each other.
It's just not that deep.
If you're looking for complexity in a similar style of series, I recommend Digimon.
The appeal of Pokémon is squarely in growing up with it or in playing it with other people.
Exception: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky.
Those games have interesting stories. But, the worlds are very unlike the main series games.
I love the limited 3D graphics they used in Black/White and BW2. It’s so charming.
Oh! I thought this would be all game INTROS! Watch those too!
You battle but it's never to the death. Peopl will implement OPTIONAL rules called a "nuzlocke challenge" where if a pokémon faints you consider it dead and release it, but this is something not reflected in the aftual game mechanics. The only pokémon that die are for story reasons (like, the first game has the ghost of a mon killed by gangsters, which happened before the game started). Also sometimes it may deal with human death as well, though this is also only for story reasons. There's a brief story in one game where an old man asks you for a pokemon he could spend some time with, and if you come back in the postgame, you're told the old man has since died, and your mon made him very happy in his last days (you get it back too).
Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Me and your other fans will be more than happy to answer!
Most likely they didn’t want a copyright strike.
Which I don’t think happened for other video game intros they did like Tekken.
But then again, Tekken isn’t as popular as Pokémon and Nintendo companies are infamous when it comes to copyright strikes.
@@AlexThat200 People watch the intros all the time. They're part of the games that people record themselves playing all the time. How would that get them a strike?
You guys should react to the Honest Game Trailers for the Pokemon Games, they're goofy but still summarize the games pretty well and introduce all the Pokemon with their "totally accurate names"
You must do pokedex entries if you want horror, for a kids game they get extremely dark. So interesting seeing reactions with 0 context. Hope you do more Pokemon, the lore is really good.
I believe that the absolute best primer to get a better grasp of this franchise is to react to the very first Pokemon animated movie. It introduces all of the main characters, their motivations and since you already saw Detective Pikachu You get to see Mewtwo again.
I was waiting for you guys to check out pokemon for a long time now. Lesgooooooo.
Awww this is so nice to see all of the Pokemon trailers getting a reaction from this channel.
14:04 Pokémon black and white’s entire theme 😂
My favourits are Gen 5. With Pokemon Black and White + Version 2. Best Protagonist and story. (For Pokemon standards)
Honourable Mention: Pokemon X & Y + Sword and Shield because the Galar Region is England inspired and that's my second home☝
The first thing that you need to know to understand Pokemon is that pokemon battle are not to death, are for sport, and pokemon are not dumb, they are almost as intelligent than humans (some even more) but like to live in the wild or with human companions, pokemon battle streches that bond between pokemon and trainers
I really love Pokémon, And my favorite generation is generation 4 which is so special to me, Because my middle name is in the game Which is Diamond, And Pearl! And my favorite Pokémon games are Pokémon Firered, And Pokémon X! And Pokémon Firered is my first ever Pokémon game I’ve ever played!
As i said before the early pokemon trailers were weird the rest are goated
I still love the RSE trailer with the photo booth
Let's see...for larger games, home console titles mainly consisted of games that interacted to varying degrees with the portable titles, like the Pokemon Stadium series, Pokemon Colisseum and XD, which actually only interacted with the regular titles in multi-player, and there was even a Wii Title that exclusively required Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum for actual use.
Good afternoon, I am from Colombia and. I really like your content, I hope you continue as you are. I would like them to react to the intro of the TALES OF games. It's one of my favorite Frenchies. A big hug and thank you
All the main series games were made for handhelds, I’m guessing cause they’re called pocket monsters in other parts of the world, so they were made to fit in your pockets.
i've been a Pokemaniac since Red and Blue hit the states, i've played every generation since and i will continue to play Pokemon as long as it exists. and there are a ton of people who feel the same way, some of us even make Fangames or Hacks based on Pokemon and the community shows no sign of stopping.
this was mainly the main line series
but there's also ton of spin-off titles you might wanna react to too
everything from Pokémon Stadium, PokéPark, Rumble, Conquest, Detective Pikachu and to the Mystery Dungeon series
interesting how they put the dlc trailers for sword and shield but not the ones for scarlet and violet
Yeah the compilation they used was pretty sloppy
Well, in Pokemon, they don't die from battle, they faint from taking too much damage. And when you're Pokemon get hurt, it's usually a good idea to take them to the nearest Pokemon Center, which is free Healthcare for Pokemon AND it only takes a few seconds to heal them fully as well. I personally go to the Pokecenter most of my run to conserve spending on healing items that are less effective than a visit to the Pokecenter. Also, the Pokemon Center visits are totally free. And some Pokemon only evolve through increasing their friendship stat, which wasn't a thing until Gold and Silver. Now, if you want your Pokemon to die in a playthrough, their is a set of self-imposed rules known as a nuzlocke. The three basic rules in a nuzlocke are as follows: 1) You can only catch the first Pokemon on each route/location with wild encounters, 2) You have to nickname your caught Pokemon to get attached to them, and 3) if a Pokemon gets KO'ed, the player can't use them anymore, so they either store them in a separate box until the credits roll, or you release them permanently. Now, nuzlockes are self-imposed and therefore not officially part of company intended Pokemon gameplay or lore. Besides, Nintendo would have fit if their best family friendly cash cow had killing other creatures as an option.
I feel like reacting to the Anime intros would give a better insite xD
I remember watching those first few ads. Oh god I’m getting old…
I didn’t think I wanted this until you made this reaction lol… it’s the most popular IP in the world, and probably my favorite series of games.
Honestly to get more of a handle on the world I'd recommend watching the Pokemon anime movies as they were often made in newcomers in mind and often spend a few minutes establishing the setting and the main cast before kicking into the heart of that movie's plot.
Plus, the first movie's plot in English (it got changed a lot from the original Japanese version) does kinda get across the difference between 'bad' battles and 'good' ones in its own way: Pokemon love to fight but 'to the death' is only if things are very VERY wrong (Pokemon are crazy tough and good at healing so while they can die, battles are usually more akin to a friendly game or sport in setting for them, barring actual life or death situations where all bets are off).
The plot of the main series games (what these ads were about) is usually 'kid hits local region's minimum age limit to travel on their own as a Pokemon trainer and then proceeds to do so, usually running into some sort of bad guy team along the way to taking on the Pokemon League and becoming a champion', though the individual plot lines and tones of the games vary (for example, Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu it's basically just 'go beat the league, btw here's the mafia yaaay you beat'em wooo! =D' and not much else, where as Pokemon Black and White, there's lots of 'is pokemon training eithically right?' talk, features a character who was kept trapped in a single room for most of his +19 years of life, only ever exposed to abused pokemon to shape his world views and groomed to be a 'child prophet' by an abusive father figure in charge of what is almost certainly a 'g rated' depiction of a cult -even includes ex members in the sequel games set 2 years later struggling to relearn how to live outside of it-
Oh and then there's Legends Arceus which is 'You are a modern kid, supposedly 14, who's just been isekaied to 1800s Pokemon Hokaido by Arceus/AKA POKEMON GOD and if you don't pull your weight in work, the people here will abandon you to the wilds where you will starve and die. Also Pokemon training/friendship with humans isn't really a thing yet, wild Pokemon can actually be really scary sometimes and there are literal holes in space and time that are just sitting there. Menacingly. All the time.'. ...ahhh Legends Arceus is a great game, even with all the muddy coloring and bad loading distances XD).
Also to add in to what others are saying: This video only showed the ads for the mainline games and... I think it was only the American versions at that cuz as an Aussie I remember the ads for Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire being WAY cooler than that (more akin to the guard in the museum one, had a kid with a lantern uncovering ancient ruins and discovering the lore of ancient primal pokemon)
You should watch Pokémon the first movie, that would show you everything you need to know about Pokémon.
Oooh you guys should watch the Pokemon Generations series! They're Anime shorts, (mostly) based on memorable moments from the main games.
So I grew up in what I refer to as the "Silver Age" of pokemon (around when Fire Red and Leaf Green and Ruby and Sapphire released), where the hype around the 90's era (the golden age, which is where the OG games on Gameboy classic released) had somewhat cooled, but was still going VERY strong regardless. I think we've hit a sort of...not dark age I wouldnt say, but an age of uncertainty with recent entries. Starting with some issues around X and Y, but really showing signs of trouble at Sword and Shield onward, it seems like the company making these games has sadly fallen to greed, and is just rushing these things out, making slapdash products that feel like budget titles at best despite being the highest grossing media franchise. Yeah yeah I know, "most money is from merch", but the games are what MADE that merch so popular to begin with, and deserve to be better treated than this.
So basically, it goes the golden age, then silver age, then the current age which I'd call the uncertain age. I reckon you'll still enjoy modern pokemon games, but its a shame how troubled the series has become lately. Here's hoping it improves come the next entry!
The Pokemon games are some are my favorite games to play. They make me feel like a child again. Plus it's family friendly fun and sometimes those are my favorite types of games to play.
each poke games/gen is loosely based on a real world location. Red/Blue/Yellow/Let's go is the Kanto region, based on the Kanto region in japan. Gold/Silver is the Johto region, based on the Kansai region of japan. Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is the hoenn region, based on Kyushu in Japan. Diamond/Pearl/Platinum (legends arceus) is the Sinnoh (formerly Hisui) region, based on Hokkaido in japan. Then boom, Black/White, which was a bit of a soft reboot of the series, is the Unova region, which is based on New York. Then X/Y/Z-A is the Kalos region, which is based on France. Sun/Moon is the Alola region, which is based on Hawaii. Sword/Shield is the Galar region, which is based on the U.K. And Finally Scarlet/Violet is the Paldea region, based on Spain. A lot of the better pokemon can be based on animals, legends, or popular things from that area.
19:10 that switch control connects to pokemon go on the phone you can use it to catch pokemon while the game is not open so its meant to be kept on hand to catch pokemon
Pokemon games come in pairs because it's supposed to sell more mone- I mean, to encourage you to battle and trade with friends since not all pokemon are available in one game. It's funny you guys wanted the graphics to improve while still in the old era, since a lot of fans feel the series lost a bit of its charm since the switch to 3D.
In the world of pokemon kids at the age of 10 set out on an adventure with their partner pokemon to challenge 8 gyms(expert trainers that serve as tests) and then collect their 8 badges to face the big pokemon league against other trainers who have done the same. There's more to it than that since the pokemon world can be just as varied in our own in terms of people in it/stories/etc. Also the pokemon don't mind the battling lol. They get healed afterwards and it's just for sport.
Bucky gave us all a surprise at the end we even got to hear his pokemon cry lol
I like how they always do the unexpected reactions and rarely the obvious ones.
This reminds me, y'all should really check out "Starter Squad". It's a fanmade Pokemon animated series that's really funny, but also pretty dark. Great voice acting too.
Poke’mon games are absolutely an endless lifetime franchise, got to create merch for people’s favorite poke’mon. It’s been years back then to remember the first trailer advertisement to Gameboy for poke’mon games. I love doing Water type starters in the game journeys. Poke’mon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee just pokes my heart.
I would love if you guys did more Pokemon reactions.
Nostalgia hits so hard ❤❤❤❤😮cool reaction let’s gooo❤❤❤
- Welcome to the unhinged world of early American Nintendo commercials. Also included is: two boys marveling at the "Nice graphics!" of Legend of Zelda and rapping about it, the American version of Mr. Creosote (it's for Yoshi's Island), and Kirby getting tenderized by pinball flippers.
- Pokemon fight each other all the time. It's their wild idea of roughhousing, sometimes. A good way to explain a Pokemon Trainer's role is...they're a mix of an explorer, a coach, and a pet owner.
*Pokemon Red/Green/Blue:* Where it all began - in a journey across the Kanto region to win Gym Badges, thwart the schemes of Team Rocket, become the next Champion, and fill out your Pokedex. Fun fact: in Japan, all three versions existed, but only Red and Blue were sent overseas.
(Trainer: Red)
(Starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle)
(Major characters: Professor Oak, Blue)
*Pokemon Yellow:* A special version of Red/Green/Blue where your partner Pokemon is a Pikachu who follows you in the overworld. A lot of the changes in this version were influenced by the Pokemon anime - like the designs of Blue, Brock, and Misty, the presence of Jessie and James, and certain people who give you Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
(Starter: Pikachu)
*Pokemon Gold/Silver:* A completely new journey set to the west of Kanto in the Johto region. There's a new set of Gyms to conquer, a new rival, and many new Pokemon to catch. This game also added many new gameplay aspects, like two new types (Dark and Steel), Pokemon genders, held items, weather, breeding, happiness, and daytime cycles.
(Trainer: Ethan)
(Starters: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile)
(Major characters: Professor Elm, Silver, Lance)
*Pokemon Crystal:* A special version of Gold/Silver. This adds special focus to Suicune and Unown (Pokemon shaped like letters). It's also the first game with a female option for your player character.
(Trainers: Ethan or Kris)
(Major characters: Eusine)
*Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire:* A journey across the tropical expanses of Hoenn. Here, a conflict has broken out between Team Magma and Team Aqua, over whether the world needs more land or more ocean - which will lead one of these teams to pursue Groudon, bringer of droughts, or Kyogre, bringer of heavy rain. Some new features include double battles, Abilities, Pokemon Contests, and Secret Bases.
(Trainer: Brendan or May)
(Starters: Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip)
(Major characters: Professor Birch, Wally, Steven)

This also features Battle Frontier, an expansion to the Battle Tower with multiple modes that really test your battle know-how.
*Pokemon Diamond/Pearl:* A journey across the temperate heights of Sinnoh. Team Galactic has big plans which drive them to claim either Dialga, the Pokemon that commands time, or Palkia, the Pokemon that warps space. This game splits attack moves into physical or special (it used to just be based on type), has the Sinnoh Underground to explore, some Pokemon have different forms based on gender, and other little changes.
(Trainers: Lucas or Dawn)
(Starters: Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup)
(Major characters: Professor Rowan, Cynthia)

*Pokemon Legends: Z-A:* Nothing much is known about this yet, aside from documents of redevelopment plans for Lumiose City.
Thank you soo much for reacting to my childhood😢😢🥹❤
there's a whole lot to learn about Pokemon, but suggesting videos is very difficult. though, if you want to learn about Pokemon themselves, there are plenty of websites for doing so.
with over 1000 Pokemon in the world AND COUNTING, this is a deep rabbit hole to undertake.
Ken, Bethany, you should react to ALL Yugioh Duel Links summon ANIMATIONS for Wednesday, you will not regret it. You might also learn something about the monsters
the reason why handheld was cuz of a lil joke they like, since pokemon is the short version of pocket monsters they wanted it on consoles that fit in your pocket such as gaemboy and ds
Would be great to see you guys react to all pokemon game intros.
17:35 "back in my day, you'd take mushrooms or acid to see a little thing chase you around" wtf?!
YES!
MORE POKEMON REACTIONS PLEASE
My childhood game. Love me some Pokémon.
I think you guys should watch all the Pokémon movies in order. They are canon relative to the anime series and are very heartfelt. When I go back to rewatch then they never fail to make me cry with heart.
Can't wait for Legends Z-A I hope either it comes early next year and not like halfway through or we get another games this year.
Fantastic reaction I would absolutely love to see you both play some pokemon games maybe do a co op kind of thing where Ken plays one version and Bethenny plays the other a just a playthrough of any of these games you would like to play love you both 😊❤🎉
Watch the movie "Detective Pikachu" if that security guard commercial is your thing. It's more of that style, and you don't have to know a thing about the franchise to get the gist of the Pokémon world.
They already watched it on their other channel.
Whoever made the compilation didn't really choose the best trailers to show honestly. Don't know why they skipped so many reveal trailers.
These are all TV ads
@BJGvideos Ahh, I see. Well, I just think they missed out on some of the better trailers
@@kniveskunnAh now that I finished I see they're not all TV ads. Which makes it even weirder! Why mix them with reveal trailers?
It would be awesome to watch you react to the Pokemon series and learn about the many types of Pokemon and what they can do.
Although, copyright will be the only obstacle....

The main RPGs always been on the handhelds, there been alot of side games as well.
The reason for two version per generation was each version of a game has some exclusive items and Pokemon, to get people to trade with each other to collect all the Pokemon, along with battling each other. Then a 3rd upgrade versions of the game. Each generation would be a new player character set in a new region, with new Pokemon. The anime would follow the generations as well with the main character Ash, traveling to the new regions. Up until gen 8, with anime ending Ash's story. The new series: Pokémon Horizons, total new series, with new characters and new stories, first 12 ep of the dub are up on Netflix.

If that Was It Good video is the one by Josh Strife Hayes, it was SO disappointing and not up to his usual standards. He got so many BASIC FACTS wrong, especially when he claimed that Pokespe was "the original manga" that the franchise was based on.
I have no Idea why this trailer only showed the handheld portable Pokémon games And the console ones to. So yeah theres a lot of Pokémon games that this video skipped over since the console ones weren't showed.
Oh gawd, the memories.
The reason why they release two versions is cause each version has a few exclusive Pokemon, in the old days it was to help people be friends, you would have one version another guy would have the other and you could trade your games exclusives to each other. Now adays it's still about that but also makes them more money cause people buy two versions of the same game lol.
I find it interesting that you keep talking about the pokemon being killed or destroyed, when the add clearly shows they're just...compressed into the gameboy.
man game boy and gameboy advance era of nintendo trailers were crazy.
Some of the games (FireRed & LeafGreen, HeartGold & SoulSilver, OmegaRuby & AlphaSapphire) are actually remakes of older games. This is to have older games with newer graphics, mechanics, etc.
