Shout out to your nine year old self for building a good team based solely on how cute their first forms are

In your defense, catching Pokemon based entirely off of how cute they are is exactly what I would've done at age 9 too hahahhaa (and now >_>;;;)

Decorating your Pokémon actually decreases its stats but it gains more friendship

I like how Monferno being in his edgy teen stage hated the cute kid clothes Also he isn’t cute when in his edgy teen stage

In fairness, my wife and I are both 30, and she still plays with the “Catch the cute ones!” rule.

"There's no right or wrong way to have fun." I'm pretty sure that spending hundreds of hours trying to find Gardenia in Eterna Forest was the wrong way to have fun. 😅

One the best parts of having a sibling ( and being too young to care about the internet) was going to their room and asking them to help you get past this part. They easily beat it and asked if needed more help or tips. One true wholesome sibling moments!

7:52. I don't doubt you remember this happening since memory is dumb sometimes and doesn't work the way you want it, but Pokémon you caught yourself can't disobey you. A Pokémon will disobey only if they're traded. The games don't make this distinction when describing how the badges function, though, so they make it seem like "Hey this Pokémon will never listen 'cause you suck! Get more badges!" Again, I don't doubt you remember this happening, memories tend to be weird. I swear I remember seeing an IV checker in Leaf Green despite several websites (and my own searching) saying otherwise. I just want to make a note of this as it's a common misconception, and misinformation is something I don't want spread, especially with one of my favorite franchises.

"Gotta touch some grass!" "Wait those aren't the words?"

Has anyone else thought "sums up my life" when that scene in Detective Pikachu came up saying »I remember you wanted to be a Pokémon trainer when you were young.« »Yeah, that didn’t really work out.«

5:17 "1. be rootin 2. be tootin 3. be electrocuting but most of all, be KIND!"

SHINX, MY BABY ;O; AND THAT LUXRAY PETTING AAAH MY HEART ♡♡♡ Your first 3 Pokemon are the exact ones I choose when I was 10, for the same reason; cause they looked cute. I still do to this day; I pre-plan and choose my team on how cute or cool they looked uwu

I adore how all of Illy’s background characters are just anime characters now.

0:35 “Time Pony” I will now forever refer to Dialga as that

I started playing the series at Red, but Pokemon Platinum is my favorite. I just love the Sinnoh region and so many of the little features the game had. Turtwig will likely always be my #1 favorite starter.

I just found your channel and I love all the background anime nods and them seeming in character. Like little Bakugo on top of the slide bragging, and Edward and Elric just chilling.

Pokemon beauty pageants = Elite gamer move

"Do I get to touch grass?" Me too dod, me too

I remember for me it was Soul Silver as my first pokemon game. It has to be the one game I'll forever love, and how I gotten my Seadra to lvl 100 just to try and get a Kingdra. I never learned how to get a Kingdra in that game, but Seadra will forever live in my heart.
