      My point is that it turned into a game review and strayed away from the 101 lesson

    Awesome. I've recently rediscovered my obsession with Pokemon from my early childhood, (I was four when they were released here in the U.S.,) so, LOTS of Pokemon videos lately, anyways, I enjoy your Nintendo 101 stuff & despite knowing the majority of this due to WAY too much free time, it was still fun to watch & I wasn't bored. Looking forward to more videos in this series as well as watching your reviews. Keep it up. :)

    Subscribed. I'm a major fan of Nintendo, but got a little late into it. I played Mario at a friend's, but my first Pokémon wasn't any version earlier than Pokémon Sapphire, which I got at the age of 9. Although I've played the earlier games later on, and know a lot about the history, it's fun to hear you telling it. And another plus, you don't swear, which makes you enjoyable to listen to.
    Thank you for doing this. I'm looking forward to see your Nintendo 101's about later versions of Pokémon.

    Pokemon Red was one of my first video games and basically the game that got me rally into games. Playing this game for the first time was magical for me. Going into Pokemon without really knowing anything about it just gives a great experience of bonding with these creatures. Seeing my Charmander evolve into Charmeleon and then Charizard was insane for me, and I loved the fact that I didn't know when Pokemon were going to evolve or what they would turn into. Sadly, with guide books, the Interne
