Knowing "pika pi" means "Satoshi" makes that scene in the first movie where Ash turns to stone and Pikachu's shaking him saying "pika pi, pika pi" hurt ALL THE MORE 😭

The Azure Flute excuse is still by far one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

"The obsession with cleanliness is a Japanese mindset."
Oh, self-burn! Those are rare!

[tyronbickerton]

The "Britney Spearow" thing really made me laugh. Their response where they'd had enough of Nob's shenanigans lol.

The Azure Flute was “too confusing”....what about the Regi puzzles in Gen III...?🙃

I do remember being hyped about the touch-screen. This was in the period when smartphones didn't used to be mainstream.
It felt very futuristic.

It's always funny hearing stories about how companies think their games are going to fail and then end up becoming the 2nd best selling video game franchise of all time

Gamefreak: flute is to hard to understand
Also Gamefreak: this Pokémon should represent antimatheria to appose time and space

27:01 I always enjoy this fact. This happened because pikachu was a rare spawn in the first forest (the forest with all the bug catchers) and is probably the only interesting catch aside from a bunch of bugs, and bugs were especially terrible in Gen 1. Pikachu wouldn't do well against the rock gym, but was still such an interesting looking pokemon, and since many players would catch it in the beginning it was a very popular one that many people would talk about as something in common. If the developers chose not to put pikachu in the first forest, then players would not have talked about pikachu that much as an early pokemon they had in common, and the anime could've been completely different.

Gen IV is still my favorite, particularly because of the touchscreen functionality. I really loved being able to monitor my daycare pokemon and know as soon as egg was laid so I could immediately fly back over there. I really miss that function, honestly.

HAHAHAHA!!! The dude feeding his face with fist-fulls of donut, while he was explaining the intricacies of translating as an art was hilarious. I don't even know what to call that type of humor, but if I had to label, it was the best, "subtle, left field" humor I've ever seen. Well played

I love the idea of Masuda seeing someone use a touch screen with a stylus, thinking it was lame, then adjusting the features in DPP so you can use them with your finger

[YouSoSpice]

I can't believe I sat through the whole thing even though I heard some of this stuff before.

Pokemon stuff can be real fascinating

[BrimBlam]

I'm glad Ho-oh's theme stayed as is. You can tell it went through rigorous changes and variations, but with how hard it slaps Im glad its what it is.

[v-gamer]

When they say Diamond and Pearl facts but they give you Platinum facts too

[ScathingSarcasm]

I was ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with voltorb flip. I would play it for hours at a time. I don't know why, I'm terrible at number games like sudoku, but I loved it.

[IndellableHatesHandles]

"Hack a Lock Capsule into the game to get a TM for the move Snarl" is possibly the biggest time-waste in the franchise.

[VampPhoenix]

Bats and foxes are my favourite animals so seeing the baby Zubat and the baby Vulpix in succession actually made me tear up a little bit.

And then a kitten!!!! Oh, how wonderful.

[sebastiansolis]

"Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were targeted for casual players". Aren't those some of the hardest in the entire series?

14:29 a team with a lvl 20 Sudowoodo and a lvl 57 Meganium.
Oh have I played pokemon games like that through my life
