I've always thought that the Pokedex had it backwards. That if Charmander's tail goes out, it's already dead, because it uses a thermite reaction to keep the flame going and it going out means the body is out of oxygen. Kind of supported by Pokemon Origins where Charizard's tail is on fire under water.
That music at 0:58 is a creepy touch because it's the Lavender town music that's notorious for where people go to mourn their dead pokemon. It's that kind of attention to detail that makes this channel so awesome.
Oh no not cheating the game, he means cheating fate. He knows Ash is on the road to the dark side and that there's nothing anyone can do to deter him from that path.
I really like that you actually sometimes incorporate OOC silliness and other times have them reacting to a canon-impossible situation in character, perfectly yet still creatively. I definitely like that you had Ash apply his brain and stand his moral ground after he learned a Pokemon could perish, just like canon Ash from when the series first started would.
"To see the life leave his eyes, to see gods become as weak as man." - This is something lex Luthor would say when coercing Batman in killing Big Blue.
The switch between "Stop wasting time already," and "Aren't you just a little bit curious," is such a minor shift in the conversation, but it instantly adds an entirely fucked up context out of nowhere. Fantastic
Well I mean.... From a more scientific perspective these pokemon are like living god's with how much they withstand yet this ONE will apparently fully die if it's tail goes out..... so that means they tried it somewhere already out of curiosity in the real show. Think about that. The pokidex was made by science.

Fun fact: the fire is actually really hard to put out. There’s a scene where a charizard (yeah I know, but it’s the same Pokémon just smaller) falls in a pool of water, and it takes a solid minute for it to run out. *completely covered in water*
Honestly props to you for using the Lavender Town theme in a way that was actually unsettling. The way Gary calmly asks "aren't you even a little curious?" as it begins was super well executed. It was like a scene out of something like The Shining where it becomes clear the exact moment that Gary loses his last marble.
Another great thing to think about, Gary has a charmander and Ash a squirtle, since they haven’t evolved its safe to assume this one of the first few pokemon battles they’ve been in. Because of this theres a good possibility that Gary got Charmander for the sole purpose of testing his theory out..
Best part is, this also has actual bits of lore to this. Not only does Ash ask to switch his Pokémon, meaning most likely they are near Oak’s lab as neither one has had time to check each others Pokémon meaning this is the first rival battle, but then Gary says that he wants to see his charmander die so he can, “see Gods become as weak as man.” He sees even the smallest Pokémon as Gods. He views these Pocket Monsters to be beings of unparalleled power and strength than mere mortals can rarely if ever even hope to scratch, with him likely having had this view for a long time before this. Heck, his grandpa is a Professor of these things, which to him would be like having a Priest of a tangible God as your father. And now that he’s become 10, he’s been given full control of a baby God. He wants to see what happens when those who conquered death are thrown to the wolves. He wants to see what happens when the Gods are unable to fight back. And maybe, when the Baby God is dead, he can find out what allows them to generate offspring that can launch attacks like “Hyper Beam” or “Protect” or “Telekinesis.” After all, if he can find a physical cause _he can likely replicate it with technology._
the idea that the true horrific evil in the Pokemon universe is Gary, who isn't even after money but just the feeling of God he gets after killing Pokemon, is hilarious to me.
@@dumpyfan3362 Yeah. That is still in line with the entry. The entry says that they die if the flame goes out. The flame did not go out, therefore it did not die.
thats true, but in the indigo league they make it to be a really big deal since one of the episodes the group was trying to make sure the charmander's tail wouldnt go out as they specified it would die, but idk thats just one source so
I like to imagine that Gary knows that his Charmander isn't going to die from Squirtle's water-based attacks and that he's just messing with Ash for kicks.
Fun fact: They retconned it so that the flame is an indicator of a Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard’s health. The tail flame goes out when it dies, but the tail flame going out doesn’t cause its death. In-universe, they made it a new discovery by a Pokémon professor like Oak.
I mean, the situations were different. What happened with Jessie was unintentional, while here he's being asked to take a life just to see what it would feel like.
Wait, woah. WHEN did that happen? I knew the show started getting weird after I stopped watching, but when the fuck did they start killing off the cast?!
Gary was never the same after his grandfather's mind had crumbled away from his rapidly advancing dementia. Spending too much time around a man descending into madness had sparked the latent psychopathy hidden inside all men, causing him to enact what he considered to be a kindness in finally ending Oak's suffering. It left a scar on his soul that would never heal
I have a theory that this happened before that which is why Ash calls him Gary and not his real name Dl3ck-F&cc. Ash told prof Oak what happened here. Gary does not care for Pokemon because they cant speak for themselves so him and Ash are teaching Gary a lesson by not hearing anything he says and naming him D F and giving him trauma which he deserves for giving Ash trauma

Usually they just make him dumber. That said, I'd actually would like to see something like SAO Abridged where he _starts out_ dumber (with Kirito starting out more antisocial in SAO Abridged) but starts to realize the harsh realties of the world when he starts having to properly earn his badges. Of course it would have to skip and or cut down most of the filler to pull that off because Pokemon Abridged series always seem to end way too early...
I think that part is misunderstood. I believe Charmander's flame is more of a status indicator rather than his life force. When it dies, it will go out, no the other way around.
I think you misunderstand just how dark Pokemon can be when it comes to specific details in both the English and the original Japanese versions. Since the detail about Charmander has already been confirmed to you by another commenter, here's another one: A Cubone... wears its mother's skull. Oh, and let's not forget in one of the movies, a certain Celebi almost clearly dies. Heck, Ash has almost died sometimes.
@@isaiahgeorge906 we dont even need the talk about the pokemon thats literally just a dead persons ghost carrying a mask of its original face to get to the dark parts of pokemon.
I love JJ's twists. It's so easy to make fun of ash's stupidity and loose morals but it's nearly unheard of to joke about Gary unless it's a "Blue is in love with Red" type of deal.
I would've expected Ash to actually go for it in the ending and then both of them react to the result, based on how off the rails these skits usually go.
"a cruel act of God" describes a ton of Pokémon. Shit, Scizor's Mega Evolution specifies it will literally melt from the inside out if it fights for too long. There's a ton of Pokémon that look like their existence is pure pain and I think that's because someone on the creative team got tired of making games for kids or something
I go off of hte idea of Pokedex entries being a mix of mythological stories of varying degrees of truth and actual science, personally, and you probably should.
@@RollingBobbyJones I mean, they're brought about only through a bond between man and mon. Seems more like a burden the mon puts itself under for their trainer's sake.

@@commanderjason7786 that Gary's Raticate fainted for good after the Pokemon battle on the cruise ship because he couldn't get it to a Pokemon Center the reason people believe this is because Gary's radicate doesn't appear in his party after this
@@commanderjason7786 the Raticate Gary has at some point in the game is implied (at some degree) to have died after you beat it in battle. There's a scene where Gary is in the graveyard tower place that has a name I can't remember and he says he's there to see his Pokémon or something. I haven't touched any of the games in a while so my memory's fuzzy but basically your character killed one of Gary's Pokémon.
@@commanderjason7786 When you fight Gary during pokemon red and blue, aboard the SS ANNE, he has a radicate, when you run into him next, it's in the pokemon tower in lavender town. His radicate isn't on his team anymore, and it's never seen again. It's theorized that the damage you gave radicate during your battle on the SS ANNE was fatal, and gary couldn't get to a pokemon center in time, and his radicate died. And as the theory goes, the reason he was in the pokemon tower, is because he was burying his radicate. The radicate that you killed.
I see that after Professor Oak forgot his name, Gary realized how fragile and thin family connections were and became a sadist. He decided to abandon connections to not get hurt and wanted to ascend into godhood... Edit: corrected from masochist to sadist
I remember MULTIPLE episodes talking about how Psychic didn't work on Ghost... when... uh... A) Psychic was neutral on ghost and B) back then *every single ghost was part poison, which is weak to psychic, which meant every single ghost was weak to psychic!*
That first "Aren't you a little bit curious?" took me out so quickly. Like my brain had to reboot to actually process the insanity of what I just heard.
I’ve always assumed the Pokédex has it backwards and instead of dying when it’s flame goes out, it’s flame goes out when it dies. This also explains how it keeps burning even when doused in water and other substances. It’s burning on internal fuel and when the fuel supply stops with death, the flame goes out.
"Aren't you even a little curious ash? To see a god fall? To watch as these walking natural disasters fall? To see them grow cold and lifeless? Aren't you curious what it feels like ash? To slay a god, to become one as powerful as them, to be the first to put man on the level of these beasts? This is our chance to cement ourselves as the true apex predators ash. Do it ash, do it. Kill it ash. Do it! Do It! DO IT! BE THE FIRST ON THE PATH TO ASCEND TO GODHOOD ASH!!"
This is so weird, this video is so reminiscent of old-school youtube, like pre-2010 in the naughties when people just kinda made weird dark-humour videos of popular franchises- it even uses the old meme font for the text I think

That’s when this video went from good to great
Yeah it was a 'oh shit moment' and the lavender town theme starting to play was just icing on the cake

@@rjfrost7090 This is getting out of hand, no there are two of them
Usually they just make him dumber. That said, I'd actually would like to see something like SAO Abridged where he _starts out_ dumber (with Kirito starting out more antisocial in SAO Abridged) but starts to realize the harsh realties of the world when he starts having to properly earn his badges. Of course it would have to skip and or cut down most of the filler to pull that off because Pokemon Abridged series always seem to end way too early...
I know everyone else is already saying it, but the moment when Gary switches, it's pure gold.
Gary went full Joker here: I WANT YOU TO DO IT C’MON
I really have a lot of respect for Ash holding his ground on this one. Not everyone would.
fair enough, I mean. Aren't even the least bit curious?
Honestly expected that to be the direction it was going, but instead Gary went offroad.
Or would they? owo
@@giggabiite4417 not at all I have seen the Peta game
something something electric shock experiment
This went from Ash having a crisis of faith to Gary turning out to be a straight-up Serial Killer.
Gary hasn't killed yet so it's more like attempted murderer
Gary went from a thick-headed rival ignoring the warnings, to a terrifying monster, the origins of a psychopath.
This is probably your best video ever.
I did not see that coming.
This is the one that clued me into your channel.
"I want to feel like a god"
This got darker than I thought it would. You've outdone yourself, good sir.
Technically speaking, Charmander's tail will not kill it when it runs out, but the tail is an indicator of the Pokémon's health.
@MrBeas𝔱 ⸜⁄ no, it's not
@@martingiacomazzi3-lIlIR5854 They aren't real, dude.
@@imreallybadatnamingthings Pokemon are as real as France. Edit: oh lol
@@asahearts1 ??
@@asahearts1 hey you didn't censor the word fr🤮nce. That's one of my trigger words
I think that part is misunderstood. I believe Charmander's flame is more of a status indicator rather than his life force. When it dies, it will go out, no the other way around.
yeah, i feel like this was the intention but was lost in translation somewhere down the line
there was literally episodes of a charmander being stuck in the rain and nearly dying and ash trying to keep its tail dry
Nah, as the other commenter said, Charmander canonically dies when its tail flame goes out from Rain water lmao
I think you misunderstand just how dark Pokemon can be when it comes to specific details in both the English and the original Japanese versions. Since the detail about Charmander has already been confirmed to you by another commenter, here's another one: A Cubone... wears its mother's skull. Oh, and let's not forget in one of the movies, a certain Celebi almost clearly dies. Heck, Ash has almost died sometimes.
@@isaiahgeorge906 we dont even need the talk about the pokemon thats literally just a dead persons ghost carrying a mask of its original face to get to the dark parts of pokemon.
0:56 bro that actually almost spooked me it was so sudden and i was off guard XD
The lavender town playing with the shift in Garys tone was breathtaking

"...of War" by Sun Tzu
The absolute dread I felt when Lavender Town theme kicked in was insane
I don't know what this one tune does this to me, it really was cursed huh? Is the Lavender Tone real after all?
So I've been watching these from the top down and I don't know how much longer I can go, I can't breath and I'm crying from laughing so hard.
Now THIS is how you make up for a type disadvantage. Pure phycological warfare by Gary, Ash didn't stand a chance.
I love JJ's twists. It's so easy to make fun of ash's stupidity and loose morals but it's nearly unheard of to joke about Gary unless it's a "Blue is in love with Red" type of deal.
excuse me a what now
@@Brigtzen Google it.
w...what
I would've expected Ash to actually go for it in the ending and then both of them react to the result, based on how off the rails these skits usually go.
I was kind of looking forward to it.
I mean, aren't you a least a little bit curious?
The way the lavander town theme emerges and layers as the video progresses is masterful.
When Gary started being curious and Lavender town's theme just "randomly" starts playing. Poor Ash
"a cruel act of God" describes a ton of Pokémon. Shit, Scizor's Mega Evolution specifies it will literally melt from the inside out if it fights for too long. There's a ton of Pokémon that look like their existence is pure pain and I think that's because someone on the creative team got tired of making games for kids or something
I go off of hte idea of Pokedex entries being a mix of mythological stories of varying degrees of truth and actual science, personally, and you probably should.
Mega Evo's are a cruel act of man, not God
@@RollingBobbyJones I mean, they're brought about only through a bond between man and mon.
Seems more like a burden the mon puts itself under for their trainer's sake.
doesn't mega garchomp's dex entry say that the reason why chomp's arms change is that they straight up melted into that shape through mega evolution?
And different from Scizor, it doesn't happen only if x thing occurs, it will happen every single time garchomp mega evolves, that sounds painful af
The mega evolution of glalie have his mouth broken if i recall correctly 🥺
The fact that Gary even sounds similar to Heath Ledger's Joker makes it even more convincing that Gary lost his mind and has a God complex for life in general
I was going to say, it seems like a very similar spiral
I figure he sounded closer to Prof Oak
I THOUGHT SO TOO LOL
Some people just want to see the world burn.
When he said I want you to do it, that gave off such Heath ledger joker vibes
GARY: I WANNA FEEL LIKE A GOD
Arceus: YoU arE nO gOd
I've seen plenty of your vids before, but I really didn't expect how dark it suddenly got
I like how Gary said, “I said” a millisecond before Ash said, “what” as if he already knew he was the only psychopath there.
Well if Gary actually acted this ruthless, the Raticate death theory sounds a lot more plausible
What's the Raticate death theory?
@@commanderjason7786 that Gary's Raticate fainted for good after the Pokemon battle on the cruise ship because he couldn't get it to a Pokemon Center the reason people believe this is because Gary's radicate doesn't appear in his party after this
@@commanderjason7786 the Raticate Gary has at some point in the game is implied (at some degree) to have died after you beat it in battle. There's a scene where Gary is in the graveyard tower place that has a name I can't remember and he says he's there to see his Pokémon or something. I haven't touched any of the games in a while so my memory's fuzzy but basically your character killed one of Gary's Pokémon.
@@commanderjason7786 When you fight Gary during pokemon red and blue, aboard the SS ANNE, he has a radicate, when you run into him next, it's in the pokemon tower in lavender town. His radicate isn't on his team anymore, and it's never seen again. It's theorized that the damage you gave radicate during your battle on the SS ANNE was fatal, and gary couldn't get to a pokemon center in time, and his radicate died. And as the theory goes, the reason he was in the pokemon tower, is because he was burying his radicate. The radicate that you killed.
Ok, wow. That's... actually pretty plausible. Damn. Didn't expect the games to go THAT dark, but given the Pokedex entries, I shouldn't be surprised.
Out of all the different ways that this skit could have gone, I was not expecting that. Bravo JJ Solid, bravo.
i like to think this is actually an incredibly advanced psychological attack on ashy boy
Gary turned from a teasing uncaring bully into power hungry maniac in minutes
Im afraid of gary
@@Insect_Goddess hes not been doing well ever since what happened to his grandfather.
I see that after Professor Oak forgot his name, Gary realized how fragile and thin family connections were and became a sadist. He decided to abandon connections to not get hurt and wanted to ascend into godhood...
Edit: corrected from masochist to sadist
"Became a masochist" "He decided to abandon connections to not get hurt again" ???
@@shaeby8123 Hey, don’t kinkshame
Oh, I'd never. More confused on being a masochist but also not wanting to get hurt.
I think you mean sadist? Masochism is wanting to be hurt, sadism is wanting others to be hurt.
@@Gking10 Yeah, I think your right. I think I meant sadism. Will correct.
Bro said "I wanna feel like a god!"
Hilarious voice acting. Good chuckle outta that delivery. 🤣
Amazing, I really liked that little lavander town song at the end. Pure gold
People commenting about ash's morality, I'm surprised that he knows charmander is weak to water
To be fair even gym leaders got that type matchup wrong back then.
I remember MULTIPLE episodes talking about how Psychic didn't work on Ghost... when... uh... A) Psychic was neutral on ghost and B) back then *every single ghost was part poison, which is weak to psychic, which meant every single ghost was weak to psychic!*
@@Ranylyn Ghost was meant to be strong against psychics, but it did no damage on them due to a bug

" *aren't you just a little bit curious ash?* "
Thats when things really went from 0 to 100 real quick
Ngl I got chills when he said that
This is how Gary's Raticate died
“I said, aren’t you even just a little bit curious Ash” … why do I hear boss music playing?!
That first "Aren't you a little bit curious?" took me out so quickly. Like my brain had to reboot to actually process the insanity of what I just heard.
I like to imagine this is Gary’s revenge after the “Dickfuck” incident
I love how well you encapsulate the internal thoughts
The way it cuts at the end KILLED ME 💀
I love how Gary just casually becomes the main villain in a few seconds
"Oh, so now you want to cheat, huh?"
Gary, switching out is perfectly legal. If anything, you get an advantage since it counts as a move.
I think he meant switching without losing the turn
Oh, he knows. He just wants Ash to kill Charmander.
I’ve always assumed the Pokédex has it backwards and instead of dying when it’s flame goes out, it’s flame goes out when it dies.
This also explains how it keeps burning even when doused in water and other substances. It’s burning on internal fuel and when the fuel supply stops with death, the flame goes out.
I love how ash is more concerned about Gary’s Pokémon then he is himself and wants to kill charmander
This didn't just take a turn, it drove straight off the cliff and is hurdling to the ground with Ash screaming all the way down.
"Aren't you even a little curious ash? To see a god fall? To watch as these walking natural disasters fall? To see them grow cold and lifeless? Aren't you curious what it feels like ash? To slay a god, to become one as powerful as them, to be the first to put man on the level of these beasts? This is our chance to cement ourselves as the true apex predators ash. Do it ash, do it. Kill it ash. Do it! Do It! DO IT! BE THE FIRST ON THE PATH TO ASCEND TO GODHOOD ASH!!"
Incorrect
This is so weird, this video is so reminiscent of old-school youtube, like pre-2010 in the naughties when people just kinda made weird dark-humour videos of popular franchises- it even uses the old meme font for the text I think
So many channels put loads of effort and cash into making their productions look professional, but what they really need is a good premise.
It's scarily hilarious that Lavender Town's theme started playing in my head at the EXACT moment the video does. It's like he knew when we'd start finding shit creepy.
