    hello yes I have read your comments about how psychic type weaknesses are based around common phobias, thank you very much I definitely missed that, please don't spam me with that thank you for watching
  • @Flip-a-dip-dip
    Man, Pokémon fever in the 90s was one hell of a time to be alive.
  • @IssamHalabi
    I remember interpreting “if you lose against the elite four, you have to start over” as new game start over. After a ridiculous amount of grinding while watching my Saturday morning cartoons, 6 year old me lost and was briefly mortified.
  • @CZsWorld
    To answer your question, Psychic is weak to Bug because Psychic's weaknesses are based on three of the biggest phobias: darkness, ghosts and bugs.
  • @gumi2521
    This video only has made me realize how much the commercials for the show talk about how Ash has to catch them all, despite the fact that he absolutely NEVER tries to do that.
  • @IQman1992
    For the longest time as a kid, I thought the guy guarding cerulean cave was one of those British soldiers wearing one of those tall hats. But then he moved and I realized it was just the cave opening lined up perfectly with his head line.
  • "Why is psychic weak to bug?" Psychic Pokemon are weak to Bugs, Ghosts and the Dark (Dark Types), things people are irrationally afraid of.
  • @Cornbinks
    "Hey, you can catch a Nidoran and have it learn Double Kick to beat Brock. That's not true." >Nidoran learns Double Kick at level 43 in R/B, 12 in Yellow "Oh."
  • @kbgman01
    No joke, when I fought Agatha of the Elite Four, she kept using Dream Eater on my Pokémon when they weren't even asleep. It made her battle incredibly easy.
  • @Goomyx1492
    I loved how even without the internet, stories like Pikablu and "Mew underneath the truck" still spread across the country like wildfire. That's kind of crazy and amazing if you think about it.
  • @mooglealys8821
    As for "stories made up by children", my sister wouldn't let me play Pokémon blue at some point because when the player misses the cruise the game tells you there won't be another one for a year, and my sister was waiting for it to arrive again. Eventually I got ourselves out of that, and continued the game, but I still think fondly of my sister waiting for the cruise. Only inexperienced kids would take that seriously, oh how I miss those times.
  • @RMMachinimas
    I always put the Bug/Psychic match-up in my head as an image of someone meditating being constantly interrupted by a loud cricket haha
  • @Deadwolf27
    King K: The remakes would make my video 3x as long Someone who watched the 3 hour God of War review: pathetic
  • @azukar8
    Gosh that Red/Blue ad brings back memories...
  • @OBZeta
    The greatest memories of my childhood were all Pokémon red related. The day I got it and a gameboy colour, Fighting and trading at school, reading the manual back to front nearly every day. What a good time.
  • @TheDoctorCMG
    Personally the majority of trading I did with Red and Blue were with my brothers. My mom owned the original Gameboy when it came out and when we started discovering how fun the pokemon series was, she didn't like it. She was a big Tetris fan and she wasn't able to get the console away from us. Soon she relented and got two Gameboy pockets for us to share. And we all got one cartridge each to pick. My mom got back to her Tetris and we succumbed to the pokemon addiction :)
  • @MyBesso
    Drake Bell was in one of the og trailers for pokemon?? Damn that's some nostalgia right there lol
  • I remember my first time playing Red version, I managed to somehow catch a Pikachu in the wild but because my friend had Yellow Version we couldn't figure out why my Pikachu couldn't follow me oh, so I went into the settings for Pikachu and selected the release option thinking that he would follow me around, never caught another Pikachu after that, too rare. Sad moment.
