I love that you say they decided to make more versions because it would be more profitable, as if the devs didnt try to fight Miyamoto to let them make over 65 thousand versions
Hahaha you right - that’s a deep fact right there. Even though every “version” would’ve been personalized though, do you think it would’ve been more profitable? I don’t think there would’ve been many players who would’ve bought 2 versions in that case. I think there are many many people who own Red, Blue, Yellow, even Green🤯
I'm pretty sure there was also a moment in time, after they scrapped the 65 thousand versions but before the three we know of were settled on, when they were merely considering 7 different versions, all named after the colors of the rainbow.
3:07 - Actually, they're not just made from the same ore, they literally are the same jewel. Rubies are just special names for red Sapphires. No wonder Kyogre has the edge on Groudon.
I'll never understand, why they didn't call Black 2 and White 2 "dark gray" and "light gray" instead. It even would fit the theme of kyurem fusing with reshiram and zekrom perfectly...
I imagine it was a branding thing. People were used to four generations of third versions and without the game being labeled simply as Black 2 & White 2 it’s likely many wouldn’t realize they were actual continuations of the story and not just another rehash. Similar situation to how the Wii U bombed due to the misunderstanding that it was just an alternative and not the entirely new experience that it was.
Yeah good point. I personally don't mind them deviating from formulas and think the fans shouldn't expect them to stick with something just because they've done it before
Because they are sequels to Black and White and not enhanced versions? Gray (even with light or dark in front of the title) would not communicate that the games are sequels and instead people may believe that they are the expected enhanced version just split into two versions, which would lead to more people skipping the games because they think that the games are just Black and White again. Besides, as development of Black and White went along, Masuda started to believe that a Gray version would muck up the whole ideal vs truth theme that they were going for with Gen 5, expecially since the characters themselves would constantly use the terms 'Black' and 'White' to convey that we have different viewpoints on what is ideal and true. Therefore when Black and White was about to be finished, GameFreak decided to take their at the times ideas for Gray and turn it into a sequel instead. So Black 2 and White 2 are actually the perfect names for these games. It communicates that these are sequels and not enhanced versions and (according to Masuda) doesn't betray and aligns with the themes and ideas that GameFreak tried to convey with the original Black and White
Yeah that’s a great point! Goes along with what we were saying about the visible light spectrum for sure. Redshift is cool, I love watching those astronomy videos to fall asleep lol
@ it also works with audible sound. That’s why an ambulance sounds a certain way when it’s coming towards you ( blue shifting) and sounds distorted the further away it is from you ( red shifting). Guess this can tie in with future and past. The future is always closer to us than the past.
Wow that's really cool - Yeah I’m sure gamefreak thematically had that all in mind with the naming. They're actually two of my favorite named Pokemon games now. Still love RSE too
LOL unless they start outsourcing to other companies. I didn't mind ILCA it just could've been executed so much better and then we could've had gamefreak taking time PLUS a Pokemon game every year :(
Extra farfetch'd and nerdy take with the last one here: scarlet or red has the longest light wavelength and violet or purple has the shortest light wavelength. Which means if a light source is moving towards you, its light will appear more blue (blueshifted), and if it is moving away the light will appear more red (redshifted). Symbolising how the past is getting further and further from us and the future getting closer and closer.
I’ve heard something like this before and love the idea - there are so many layers whether intentional or unintentional that line up with Game freaks theme here
1:02 Not really. Red and Green were chosen, because in Japan, Red and Green are considered opposites. 1:10 They actually changed it in the international version, because Blue is considered opposite to red worldwide, as opposed to Green.
@@SlakSquadI think it might be, I remember that it's from another video on the simillar topic and I reckon it using an interview with Junichi Masuda as a source. Edit: Both theories are actually unconfirmed officially, and both are popular among fans, so let's just say that we're both correct and call it a day
Um, speaking of “I’ve never heard of that explanation before” do you really think Pokémon red and blue got their color changes internationally just because of the american flag? Where did you get that idea? I think it’s far more plausible like the above comment said, red and blue feel more like opposing colors
So just a little fun connection I noticed that's probably just coincidence. Paldea is loosely based on Spain just like Dressrosa from One Piece. The princesses of Dressrosa are named Scarlet and Violet.
To be honest, I understand why Junichi Masuda kept LeafGreen as is and said the leaf is a symbol of peace. I see many people take it literally and think it’s stupid to not make it WaterBlue (also since fire burns plants) but fire represents discord while leaf represents peace. Two sides of one coin. Also since later on, the international releases take more from the Japanese side such as with worldwide releases and the term Mythical Pokémon being used in not just Japan starting from BW.
Thank you so much! We're trying our best and appreciate the feedback. We've got like 10+ videos cooking and are hoping to get back to a consistent upload schedule soon!
[8:41] On a slightly related note, I have the headcanon that the electromagnetic spectrum is representative of the different time periods, with visible light representing the modern day, infrared representing the time of the Past Paradox Pokémon, ultraviolet representing the time of the Future Paradox Pokémon, etc.
Crystal should have been called Platinum and Platinum should have been crystal. Platinum is a precious metal that fits the gold and silver theme, and crystal is a gem like pearls and diamonds
Just realized that aside from gs most gens seem to be red/blue coded, even if the names arent, the actual games are, like x being blue coded and y being red coded. The biggest stretch is probably bw but b2w2 def has red and blue on their titles
Nice that you spoke of the origin of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's names. It's a nice tidbit people overlook when they bash a game with a troubled development history. Also, where's the section on the Let's Go games for Gen 7?
Yo also to build on the color spectrum thing for scarlet and violet. Id suggest thinking about tying red-shift and blue-shift into it. Objects in space that are moving towards you shift towards the ultra-violet end of the spectrum whilst objects moving away shift towards the infrared. You can suggest then that the past is moving away, whilst the future is coming towards us.
yeah I’ve heard this before, I bet someone a gamefreak knew this at least but even if they didn’t it’s a really cool connection and scarlet / violet certainly had those themes right from the start with the names
@@SlakSquad I meant that as in, I have played it, it was my first pokémon game in fact, which is why I keep coming back to it. I'm happy to hear you like it =)
I love these ideas. Tho I’d like to see a more detailed on each one video. Like break down how the name of the fake inspired what in the game. Like red n blue on the gameboy had red n blue color scheme… but more so like the names of Gary and Ash, Red n Blue
There's actually a bit more to gold and silver due to the duality of ho-oh being the sun and lugia being the moon. While lugia was a late addition it was carefully given a role that fits the local mythology and is reflected in the archeological history of the country. The only unclear thing is how much of it was intentional and how much of it lined up really well and then they just leaned into it way more. There's a fantastic video by BlueBoyPhin on it right here: ua-cam.com/video/Qil4OpfOufU/v-deo.html
@@SlakSquad The video does a really good job getting into it. It's mostly about unknown but really highlights how much history went into jhoto. Glad I could highlight it :D
Scarlett and Violet could also be interpreted as Infrared and Ultraviolet, since both are colours Humans can't see. Just like what's beyond the time machiene or just like we'll never actually know for sure what it was/will be like in ancient times/ the distant future
We just started our channel back at the start of August, so honestly I’m not complaining at all sitting at 1500. The guys and I are really enjoying making these videos, so we trust youtube will find the audience for them as we keep making them. Thanks for watching!!
1:14 that’s false. Blue was in Japan first after jpn red and green as a partially bugfixed update to red and green, and so they then used the blue framework for US red and blue, and just kept those colors.
We would love help designing thumbnails/artwork/memes if you like doing that! You can find our email in the about section of our channel, email me your discord and I’ll add you!
Life starts at sea (alpha) Ends at land (omega) This also reference the nature of groudon and kyogre, if land expands there'll be no water resources for organisms to live, but if sea expands there will be plenty of aquatic organisms maybe with less terrestrial organisms
3:53 What about the concept for Delta Emerald, before it became the Delta Episode. Also, to give Delta a counterpart, if I must; Theta, like the Ancient Trait in the TCG.
@Salck Suad ya got it wrong there 0:59 see pocket monsters Blue still came out ! Now ! the reason for it comming out was because when making green it was buggy - no not bug pokemon but buggy as in glitchy and not as in Glitched pokemon like Missing no . i am talking about Experience PC withdrawing glitch , Hall of Fame corruption and a lot more !! but the biggest Green had was Save corruption ! so when Blue came around some Gltiches were fixed and others not so much ! hence the Mew Glitch ! for example ! .................................... but with the new improvements in Blue it only seemed fair that the US got the serprior version of the game that being Blue over Green the hole color thing was Actually a Sonic thing why he is blue with white gloves and red sneakers ! to look like flag colors that really isn't a pokemon fact though it had more to do with sofware and advanced stuff ............ Blue still came out in japan ! and with yellow it was sappose to have a lot of key glitches fixed with only a few remaining as easter eggs or fun things to do such as the mew glitch and multiple items glitch and cloning pokemon glitch to name a few .
I mean thinking about for the gen debuat games... Color is the naming sceme since the game boy till now.... Like I don't know if gamefreak/Nintendo understands that X and Y and sword and swhield are not colors.... Also the ingames the names rarelu having any baring ingame edspackly if you take out the first gens color mode and how cute it is on the Gameboy color they have their namesake color with their 1 bit graphics... I mean the biggest outlaying being Ruby and shapre and White and black as both heavly use that nameshake ingame...
until you localize it in french, and it becomes Ecarlate (scarlet, very fancy name for "red") and Violet (literally just our word for purple). Scarlet and Purple.
I always thought that Pokemon Blue was released in the West, instead of Pokemon Green, because the international versions of Red & Blue were based on the Japanese version of Blue, which was an improved version of the original games?
7:31 "Now you have messed with Pokémon Fans." This made me think of a video about Starter Pokémon Themes am the comment about Grass (Why is the Type not called *Plant* ?) Starters abd how they are supposedly all based on extinct Animals even though Iberian Lynxes, though still few in number, are actually recovering and then a fake newscast came in that scores of people in their 20ties and 30ties were searching the countryside of Iberia, hunting doemwn lynxes with ferocity to quote: "Prove our Lore." I have a question regarding Scarlet and Violet: Why were their names changed to Karmesin and Purpur. I do understand Scharlach being unwanted due to the Fever Illness of the same name but where is the problem with Violett?
I thought X and Y chromosones were relating to the theme of life with the legendaries, with Xerneas also being more feminine, hence XX, and Yveltal more masculine, hence XY
I really really wish :( Im one of the fans who hopes we get these games remade regularly to keep up with modern mechanics and everything. Its really a shame that its not that way yet but I get that it takes a lot of money time resources etc… to do it well lol
I know right, it makes me wish that there was some indie dev that made every game for every generation's mechanics haha. Imagine gen 6 megas and latios soaring for every region lol
I’m just hungry for more pokemon but at the same time don’t want gamefreak to have to pump out the games, just have someone else give us more pokemon lol
Not to mention that Pokemon originally had copyrights to the following Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet which is why we have most of these colors present in games, Indigo disk was an expansion not a real game but still cool otherwise 👍
Yeah we covered them very quickly haha but there's not much meaning behind the names other than "Arceus - and it's a legend" and "Let's go!! Pokemon Go is cool!! And Pikachu and Eevee are the mascots!!" But you right
People forgot what made Pokemon special to begin with they see Pokémon as a game or any other series that’s either good or bad but it’s not that it’s more than that Pokemon isn’t only games as a brand so stop treating it as if it’s just games when u say it’s dying cuz it’s not it’s more alive than ever It’s a culture and a lifestyle a living breathing world with a story and lore and characters We form parasocial relationships with these fictional animals because we love them so much and they have so much personality and backstory and it is a very customizable series it’s a perfect creative outlet 10:22 Pokémon team wasn’t experienced enough with switch hardware when they first started development for the game and they are a smaller team then most also the game was made during Covid so it had a decent amount of obstacles and it couldn’t be delayed because they have to abide by the merch and the anime and the tcg They have to be symbiotic with themselves When people criticize them these are things no one considers They have since likely gotten better they always learn as they go Also their budgets are always small 10:22 Pokémon team wasn’t experienced enough with switch hardware when they first started development for the game and they are a smaller team then most also the game was made during Covid so it had a decent amount of obstacles and it couldn’t be delayed because they have to abide by the merch and the anime and the tcg They have to be symbiotic with themselves When people criticize them these are things no one considers their dev time is 3-6 actually u just don’t feel it cuz they work on multiple projects simultaneously with the budget of a Disney channel movie around 15-20mil and they have to balance game release with the anime and the cards Everyone can say pokemon should be like Zelda or xenoblade but those games don’t have an anime and a tcg they have to abide by it’s like jenga Also they do make decisions dictated by the competitive scene And they may or may not share resources that part I’m unsure of Hot take: the point of Pokémon is to appeal to the widest audience possible and that there’s something for everyone from mainline to the anime to the spin offs Well maybe if people got into the other avenues of the franchise rather than solely the games u wouldn’t be disappointed Since the series was designed to be symbiotic with itself and to experience every avenue together for a complete experience U guys need to reevaluate ur priorities Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense let’s be real u didn’t get into the original games for the graphics And If u didn’t play games for the graphics as a kid then why would u play them for the graphics now Sorry u forgot what the point of Pokémon was to begin with Pokémon SV isn’t an unfinished game they just pull all the effort into the shit that ACTUALLY matters Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need As well as the whimsical gameplay I mean there’s a reason lots of people have said they still think it’s fun despite the issues The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t
People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Calling pokemon “lazy” is lazy they got more to do than most devs they make two games and have to be symbiotic with the rest of the series and all this other stuff They can’t delay the game they have a symbiotic release system The games are leashed to the anime,tcg,etc and the anime,tcg etc is leashed to the games Tpc is constantly playing a game of jenga trying to balance each of its branches The games are in development for 3-6 years we just don’t feel it because a lot of times they work on multiple generations at the same time they have two teams the games have a 15-20 million dollar budget They probably share resources Maybe about the sharing idk They have been working on Gen 10 for a few years now Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need A believe people still care about that frame stuff I’m sorry people got so lost and brainwashed by the superficialities of the industry you forgot what Pokémon was originally about And I know that the game isn’t perfect and that there’s issues Pokémon is a franchise where the theme is friendship is magic and meeting cute and cool unique monsters What the hell does graphics and performance have to do with those things? Nothing if you wanna criticize a franchise criticize it on whether or not it delivered on the messages and themes it promised Was friendship magic? Did you meet cute and cool unique creatures? Ok then it’s a good game Those are what’s important to Pokémon As the og theme said Pokémon is about Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through you teach me and I teach you” That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end Then that’s a strong enough ending for me Not sure what graphics and animation and performance has to do with that Performance graphics those things never Mattered You have to remember pokemon games have only been 3D since 2013 that’s pretty recent compared to other games like Zelda that have been 3D since the 90s and early 2000s so obviously they’re gonna be behind Mixed with the fact that They can’t delay the game because main console for only 5 years compared to Zelda since n64 The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games they are still learning as they go so y’all gotta be patient and give them time to catch up Their partnership with take two they’ll apply what they learn back into Pokémon so that’s good You have to remember gamefreak are inexperienced with developing open world games so of course there will be some trial and error the more they work on and improve the game and do future games the better at it they’ll get Rome wasn’t built in a day we need to be patient Assuming we get more open world games NOT TO MENTION ScarVi’s development was probably screwed up by the pandemic Probably turned it upside down And before u say just delay the game They can’t delay the game The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games it’s not outdated it’s rebellious and nonconformist The games aren’t rushed there is a schedule they abide by for symbiosis The games and the anime and tcg are all beholden to each other You can’t move one without ruining the groove Unless you one gen 10 game to come out years after the gen 10 anime and have it spoiled There is a symbiosis there When you watch the anime it makes u wanna play the game and vice versa so they are companion pieces designed to be experienced together for a complete experience They choose to live in their own bubble and be one of a kind and not imitate what everyone else does and they have my respect for that the og games bugs are looked back on as charming Give SV 20 years it’ll be the same Running shmunning whatever issue you have with the games that doesn’t mean anything for the entire franchise idk why you guys like to act like the games is the only part that exists If u look at how well the show is doing and same with the spin offs and the tcg and the merch No Pokémon is not “doing bad” lmao yall are so narrow minded it’s funny I thought we all agreed that Nintendo’s strength is when they focus more on fun not graphics they aren’t Microsoft and Sony Idk why this mentality changes when it comes to Pokemon
wow I just read all of this and I agree with so much of it. THANK YOU for being a positive Pokemon fan; it really stands out and it's what we want to be as a channel too!
I love SV and I just think seeing both sides of people’s takes are all fun, overall its Pokemon and it'll always be my favorite series/franchise of all time😄
Haha we're saving them for a hopeful side game video, although I know those toe the line (and are probably) main series so we could've at least mentioned them lol
It’s cool how the DLC titles tie into the themes of the newer generations. For Galar, the theme of medieval items works with sword, shield, armor and crown. For Paldea, colours works with scarlet, violet, teal and indigo.
1:50 Sigh. Dude, this dumb take on "theyre battling with magic monsters!! This is horrible!!" Then there would be no story and no game. This take is pretty rundown and pushed to the ground over the past two decades, and it needs to stop man its not funny or creative. it's just old. Pokemon gen 5 already addressed this but yall still dont wanna listen
B2W2's names not being grey kind of fits their "there is no true midpoint". It even inverts which non-Kyurem you get if you go to Black->Black Version 2, White->White Version 2.
Wow congrats on almost 2K! You're so close! And hey good content is good content so 1) be proud of yours and your growing audience! And 2) we just started back in August and are super happy about our growth so far!! Thanks for the sub and watching :)
@SlakSquad I actually had made it to 2k back it October but yeah when I see a small channel like yours I always think that they have been around for years my channel is 5 years old so yeah some people are just cut out for UA-cam some just aren't
@SlakSquad oh and I never said that I subbed but I did as you deserve it I will keep coming back as long as you keep making good content just a word of advise if you feel burnout then take a break
Hey if millions of people enjoy a game I view it as a great game. Call me in the minority among Pokemon fans but I think every Pokemon game is very very enjoyable. Not saying we shouldn't hold Gamefreak to a high standard though, and they need to do better at times for sure lol
Have you ever been sitting around playing Pokémon X and suddenly wondered to yourself Y?
LOL WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THIS PUN😂
@@SlakSquad
It's fine. Not like that pun was written in black and white afterall.
I loved it to the moon and back

I love that you say they decided to make more versions because it would be more profitable, as if the devs didnt try to fight Miyamoto to let them make over 65 thousand versions
Hahaha you right - that’s a deep fact right there. Even though every “version” would’ve been personalized though, do you think it would’ve been more profitable? I don’t think there would’ve been many players who would’ve bought 2 versions in that case. I think there are many many people who own Red, Blue, Yellow, even Green🤯
I'm pretty sure there was also a moment in time, after they scrapped the 65 thousand versions but before the three we know of were settled on, when they were merely considering 7 different versions, all named after the colors of the rainbow.
That actually would be sick if we had some crazy set of gen 1 rererereremakes at some point that were ROYGBIV
@@SlakSquadROYGBIV?
The colors of the rainbow!! haha
The sparkling Gold and Silver cartridges felt so premium as a kid. Today's kids will never understand.
I feel that, I was really young but I remember my sister opening the game for the first time. Felt so clean
3:07 - Actually, they're not just made from the same ore, they literally are the same jewel. Rubies are just special names for red Sapphires.
No wonder Kyogre has the edge on Groudon.
Kyogre just the more RAW Groupon🤯
Great insight - I never knew that
@SlakSquad Yeah, the difference is just the Chromium content in them. More chromium makes it red, and therefore a Ruby.
Fun fact : there are also green and yellow Sapphires. Missed chance from Nintendo's part
Haha gen 3 reremakes lets go!!
8:44 The fact that cyclizar is green also helps this seeing how it's the present form of the legendaries and is in the middle of the two colors.
Good point! Game freak killed it with the imagery!
Fun fact in like 2008-2010 pokemon started copyrighting like a bunch of different name ideas and pokemon scarlet and Pokémon purple were among them
I wonder if any of those will become remakes or gen 10 games!
@@SlakSquadwho knows
What other names were on there/can you send a list?
I'll never understand, why they didn't call Black 2 and White 2 "dark gray" and "light gray" instead. It even would fit the theme of kyurem fusing with reshiram and zekrom perfectly...
Very true - those must have been the hardest games for them to settle on a name for haha
I imagine it was a branding thing. People were used to four generations of third versions and without the game being labeled simply as Black 2 & White 2 it’s likely many wouldn’t realize they were actual continuations of the story and not just another rehash. Similar situation to how the Wii U bombed due to the misunderstanding that it was just an alternative and not the entirely new experience that it was.
Yeah good point. I personally don't mind them deviating from formulas and think the fans shouldn't expect them to stick with something just because they've done it before
They. Could have done Pokemon: Plasma and Flare ...
Because they are sequels to Black and White and not enhanced versions? Gray (even with light or dark in front of the title) would not communicate that the games are sequels and instead people may believe that they are the expected enhanced version just split into two versions, which would lead to more people skipping the games because they think that the games are just Black and White again.
Besides, as development of Black and White went along, Masuda started to believe that a Gray version would muck up the whole ideal vs truth theme that they were going for with Gen 5, expecially since the characters themselves would constantly use the terms 'Black' and 'White' to convey that we have different viewpoints on what is ideal and true. Therefore when Black and White was about to be finished, GameFreak decided to take their at the times ideas for Gray and turn it into a sequel instead.
So Black 2 and White 2 are actually the perfect names for these games. It communicates that these are sequels and not enhanced versions and (according to Masuda) doesn't betray and aligns with the themes and ideas that GameFreak tried to convey with the original Black and White
I always thought Scarlet and Violet got its name from Blue shifting and Red shifting with sound and light waves.
Yeah that’s a great point! Goes along with what we were saying about the visible light spectrum for sure. Redshift is cool, I love watching those astronomy videos to fall asleep lol
@ it also works with audible sound. That’s why an ambulance sounds a certain way when it’s coming towards you ( blue shifting) and sounds distorted the further away it is from you ( red shifting). Guess this can tie in with future and past. The future is always closer to us than the past.

Extra farfetch'd and nerdy take with the last one here:

Love your profile pic lol
I thought it's because Xerneas name starts with letter X and shaped like X, Yveltal's name starts with letter Y and shaped like Y 😭
pretty much haha - game freak peak creativity
Really interesting and creative topic; it was fun hearing Scarlet and Violet’s explanation! Subbed!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed and we've got more fun content coming soon!
So just a little fun connection I noticed that's probably just coincidence. Paldea is loosely based on Spain just like Dressrosa from One Piece. The princesses of Dressrosa are named Scarlet and Violet.
Wow that's actually a crazy connection haha - Ive never watched much one piece but that's insane
Это цвета двух противоположных политических фракций в Испании, точнее, цветов их флагов
To be honest, I understand why Junichi Masuda kept LeafGreen as is and said the leaf is a symbol of peace. I see many people take it literally and think it’s stupid to not make it WaterBlue (also since fire burns plants) but fire represents discord while leaf represents peace. Two sides of one coin.
Also since later on, the international releases take more from the Japanese side such as with worldwide releases and the term Mythical Pokémon being used in not just Japan starting from BW.
Good point - Neat fact on the japanese usage of mythicals too I never knew that

Thank you! We’re having a lot of fun and plan to keep going!!
Awesome theme and amazing upgrade on the video quality! Hope the channel blows up, man
Thank you so much! We're trying our best and appreciate the feedback. We've got like 10+ videos cooking and are hoping to get back to a consistent upload schedule soon!
Drop your favorite Pokemon spin off game and maybe we’ll make a follow up video!
Pokemon Unite
[8:41] On a slightly related note, I have the headcanon that the electromagnetic spectrum is representative of the different time periods, with visible light representing the modern day, infrared representing the time of the Past Paradox Pokémon, ultraviolet representing the time of the Future Paradox Pokémon, etc.
That's really interesting and genius haha. Infared and Ultraviolet will be the remakes lol
Crystal should have been called Platinum and Platinum should have been crystal. Platinum is a precious metal that fits the gold and silver theme, and crystal is a gem like pearls and diamonds
Interesting take, Ive never heard anyone say that before!
this upsets me greatly
Let's hear it for Hero for getting this video out in time so we didn't have to go another week without a Slaksquad video!! We're so back!
We have been saved
Did you know that if you fuse Shaymin and Gengar together you'll get Shadow The Hedgehog?
Insane take and I love it
Just realized that aside from gs most gens seem to be red/blue coded, even if the names arent, the actual games are, like x being blue coded and y being red coded. The biggest stretch is probably bw but b2w2 def has red and blue on their titles
I’ve heard that a couple times, could be a really interesting video idea or short in itself hmmmm
Why is this channel didn’t get enough subs and views.. its amazing 😊
Thanks! We’re hoping to get more someday!! Being patient and just making stuff we love
@ yes keep making! You’ve earned my subscribe!! Cant wait for more video to come!!
Thank you so much!
I’ve been subbed since about 500 subs it’s SOOOO cool to see how much you have grown in subs!
Thank you so much!! We’re excited too and can't wait to keep making content
Creative idea, breath of fresh air, subbed
Thanks for the sub, I’m glad you enjoyed the content!
What’s the song that plays at the very very end for the outro?
@herothemain can answer??
Nice that you spoke of the origin of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's names. It's a nice tidbit people overlook when they bash a game with a troubled development history. Also, where's the section on the Let's Go games for Gen 7?
kind of self explanatory for let’s go hahaha - Pokémon go! And let’s play!! I guess hahaha
Yo also to build on the color spectrum thing for scarlet and violet. Id suggest thinking about tying red-shift and blue-shift into it. Objects in space that are moving towards you shift towards the ultra-violet end of the spectrum whilst objects moving away shift towards the infrared. You can suggest then that the past is moving away, whilst the future is coming towards us.
yeah I’ve heard this before, I bet someone a gamefreak knew this at least but even if they didn’t it’s a really cool connection and scarlet / violet certainly had those themes right from the start with the names
I guess the ultimate Pokemon games have no fire types
certainly
Oh shoot the Slak bros new setup looks great 🎉 your editing is better every video
Thanks Ty🙏🏼 we’re actually working on a sick live set in the basement LOL. We’ll have to go a few more weeks without A roll but really excited
@ it would be cool to see a Slak Flavored Hidden Power style pokecast, game grump style play throughs or like Mr1upz ‘top 100 of’
We working on all of that kind of stuff - got some great stuff cooking up
😮 I have ever been sitting around playing Pokémon X.
Only difference is, I read the wiki, and knew why it was called that
haha nice - it’s a good game though you should give it a shot
@@SlakSquad I meant that as in, I have played it, it was my first pokémon game in fact, which is why I keep coming back to it. I'm happy to hear you like it =)
I love these ideas. Tho I’d like to see a more detailed on each one video. Like break down how the name of the fake inspired what in the game. Like red n blue on the gameboy had red n blue color scheme… but more so like the names of Gary and Ash, Red n Blue
That sounds like it’d be real interesting!!
There's actually a bit more to gold and silver due to the duality of ho-oh being the sun and lugia being the moon. While lugia was a late addition it was carefully given a role that fits the local mythology and is reflected in the archeological history of the country. The only unclear thing is how much of it was intentional and how much of it lined up really well and then they just leaned into it way more. There's a fantastic video by BlueBoyPhin on it right here: ua-cam.com/video/Qil4OpfOufU/v-deo.html
Wow that's so cool! I’m sure a lot of these lore connections happen both on purpose and some coincidence but its all fun to dive into nonetheless
@@SlakSquad The video does a really good job getting into it. It's mostly about unknown but really highlights how much history went into jhoto. Glad I could highlight it :D
maybe at some point we’ll get another “bird keeper toby” type youtuber for all the lore dumps haha
Scarlett and Violet could also be interpreted as Infrared and Ultraviolet, since both are colours Humans can't see. Just like what's beyond the time machiene or just like we'll never actually know for sure what it was/will be like in ancient times/ the distant future
True! that’s a cool angle to take on it
Came for the information, stayed for the hot guy presenting them
🤯🫣🥵
Bitch he's mine
How does this man only have 1k+ subs? 🙏😭
We just started our channel back at the start of August, so honestly I’m not complaining at all sitting at 1500. The guys and I are really enjoying making these videos, so we trust youtube will find the audience for them as we keep making them. Thanks for watching!!
Great vid
Thanks for watching! We can't wait to make more content and would love to hear what types of videos you'd like to see!
1:14 that’s false.
Blue was in Japan first after jpn red and green as a partially bugfixed update to red and green, and so they then used the blue framework for US red and blue, and just kept those colors.
I guess it must have been speculation, Ill have to check my sources to see their sources I guess! Lol
4:44 Nice music choice! I tip my cap to ye’
Actually just great music choices all around! Great video y’all!
Haha thank you! Hero has great taste in game OSTs
@PokéWalkerTexasRanger I’ve been trying to find the name to this music for the longest time, what is it called?

Great video mate I was wondering if you needed thumbnail designer by any chance?
We would love help designing thumbnails/artwork/memes if you like doing that! You can find our email in the about section of our channel, email me your discord and I’ll add you!
Life starts at sea (alpha)
Ends at land (omega)
This also reference the nature of groudon and kyogre, if land expands there'll be no water resources for organisms to live, but if sea expands there will be plenty of aquatic organisms maybe with less terrestrial organisms
I like your profile pic - underrated mon
@SlakSquad underrated indeed, no one likes her 😔
3:53 What about the concept for Delta Emerald, before it became the Delta Episode.
Also, to give Delta a counterpart, if I must; Theta, like the Ancient Trait in the TCG.
That's a good point - I never knew there were any actual plans for a “delta” game
@Salck Suad ya got it wrong there 0:59 see pocket monsters Blue still came out ! Now ! the reason for it comming out was because when making green it was buggy - no not bug pokemon but buggy as in glitchy and not as in Glitched pokemon like Missing no . i am talking about Experience PC withdrawing glitch , Hall of Fame corruption and a lot more !! but the biggest Green had was Save corruption ! so when Blue came around some Gltiches were fixed and others not so much ! hence the Mew Glitch ! for example ! .................................... but with the new improvements in Blue it only seemed fair that the US got the serprior version of the game that being Blue over Green the hole color thing was Actually a Sonic thing why he is blue with white gloves and red sneakers ! to look like flag colors that really isn't a pokemon fact though it had more to do with sofware and advanced stuff ............ Blue still came out in japan ! and with yellow it was sappose to have a lot of key glitches fixed with only a few remaining as easter eggs or fun things to do such as the mew glitch and multiple items glitch and cloning pokemon glitch to name a few .
wow these are all great insights, thanks for sharing all of this!!
@@SlakSquad ya welcome man :)
5:05 this artwork was actually created by STAR影法師. yara kami meiosei is an art thief who claimed many of her drawings as their own.
Oh really!? I never knew that
5:01 that's tui and la koi fish from the Nicklodeon show Avatar The Last Airbender!!!!
We love ATLA
Like we’re some of the biggest ATLA fans haha
As a gen 6 fan, i like xy (yes im excited for legends ZA) and omega ruby and alpha sapphire
Gen 6 was one of my favorites to play for sure. I put a lot of hours into those games haha
They originally wanted to make one game where the world is RNG generated
The two versions was actually miyamoto’s idea
Infinite versions would be crazy
I mean thinking about for the gen debuat games... Color is the naming sceme since the game boy till now.... Like I don't know if gamefreak/Nintendo understands that X and Y and sword and swhield are not colors.... Also the ingames the names rarelu having any baring ingame edspackly if you take out the first gens color mode and how cute it is on the Gameboy color they have their namesake color with their 1 bit graphics... I mean the biggest outlaying being Ruby and shapre and White and black as both heavly use that nameshake ingame...
Interesting observations!! They definitely have a theme consistent throughout all the gens
Also "scarlet" rhymes with "violet"
Slant rhymes are the best
until you localize it in french, and it becomes Ecarlate (scarlet, very fancy name for "red") and Violet (literally just our word for purple). Scarlet and Purple.
@@solarprogeny6736, in Portuguese is "Escarlate" and "Violeta" too 😅
@@solarprogeny6736, but is interesting that in Japonese also rhymes: "Sukāretto" and "Baioretto"
Scarlet and "Purple" in French LOL that's pretty underwhelming
I always thought that Pokemon Blue was released in the West, instead of Pokemon Green, because the international versions of Red & Blue were based on the Japanese version of Blue, which was an improved version of the original games?
Did Japanese blue come out first?🫣
You lowkey remind me of young Hercules era Ryan gosling
Something about the vibes
Haha I’m hoping that was kind of a compliment, not knowing much about Ryan gosling😂
Pokemon Legends Arceus soelled out PLA. Like Platinum
haha I never thought of it that way!
Awesome video.
Thanks for watching!🙏🏼
7:31 "Now you have messed with Pokémon Fans."
This made me think of a video about Starter Pokémon Themes am the comment about Grass (Why is the Type not called *Plant* ?) Starters abd how they are supposedly all based on extinct Animals even though Iberian Lynxes, though still few in number, are actually recovering and then a fake newscast came in that scores of people in their 20ties and 30ties were searching the countryside of Iberia, hunting doemwn lynxes with ferocity to quote: "Prove our Lore."
I have a question regarding Scarlet and Violet: Why were their names changed to Karmesin and Purpur.
I do understand Scharlach being unwanted due to the Fever Illness of the same name but where is the problem with Violett?
all very interesting - I love all the theoretical pokemon stuff people put out there haha
Most of the games are a shade of red and blue which u didn’t mention
That's a super interesting theory for sure, I see where you pick out that pattern
I thought X and Y chromosones were relating to the theme of life with the legendaries, with Xerneas also being more feminine, hence XX, and Yveltal more masculine, hence XY
I suppose we could look at it that way!
I heard it had to do with the fact that since XY were the first 3D games, they use the names of axes for Gen 6
So ZA is just ends and beginings again?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
do you think there will be a pokemon heart gold remake?
I really really wish :( Im one of the fans who hopes we get these games remade regularly to keep up with modern mechanics and everything. Its really a shame that its not that way yet but I get that it takes a lot of money time resources etc… to do it well lol
@@SlakSquad it would be so much fun to rediscover the old regions but in new gameplay mechanics
I know right, it makes me wish that there was some indie dev that made every game for every generation's mechanics haha. Imagine gen 6 megas and latios soaring for every region lol
@@SlakSquad maybe chances aren't that low that sb sometime makes sth like that. There are so many "new games" out there
I’m just hungry for more pokemon but at the same time don’t want gamefreak to have to pump out the games, just have someone else give us more pokemon lol
I thought there was a Pokemon Z in gen 6 for 4 years entirely because of the anime...
unfortunately not :(
Pokemon Green was changed to pokemon blue because it sounded more patriotic when it came to US shores
Apparently this was just speculation, as some people have pointed out to me since this vid has come out! But I like the theory haha
This video read and blew my mind 😏
Underrated pun comment of the week^^
Not to mention that Pokemon originally had copyrights to the following Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet which is why we have most of these colors present in games, Indigo disk was an expansion not a real game but still cool otherwise 👍
yeah Im sure they have and will continue to copyright many colors, gems, letters lol
Red and Green came from Mario and Luigi
Let’s make that canon, trick the AI into thinking it’s fact
But its true
legends arceus and let’s go pikachu/eevee are also main line games as directly stated by gamefreak
Yeah we covered them very quickly haha but there's not much meaning behind the names other than "Arceus - and it's a legend" and "Let's go!! Pokemon Go is cool!! And Pikachu and Eevee are the mascots!!"
But you right
It’s probably called legends, because the game focuses on the ancient legends of the region, along with the legends of Arceus…..
Exactly!
I don’t really think truth is the opposite of ideals though, truth should ideally be a part of ideals
Yeah the execution of the story is a little murky in gen 5 when you dive deep into it. Still appreciated the swing from gamefreak haha
What's in a name as the bard once said.
The barrrrrd
You’re back!🥹 Great video you guys. Looking forward to more!
Thank youuuuuu
People forgot what made Pokemon special to begin with they see Pokémon as a game or any other series that’s either good or bad but it’s not that it’s more than that Pokemon isn’t only games as a brand so stop treating it as if it’s just games when u say it’s dying cuz it’s not it’s more alive than ever
It’s a culture and a lifestyle a living breathing world with a story and lore and characters
We form parasocial relationships with these fictional animals because we love them so much and they have so much personality and backstory and it is a very customizable series it’s a perfect creative outlet
10:22 Pokémon team wasn’t experienced enough with switch hardware when they first started development for the game and they are a smaller team then most also the game was made during Covid so it had a decent amount of obstacles and it couldn’t be delayed because they have to abide by the merch and the anime and the tcg
They have to be symbiotic with themselves
When people criticize them these are things no one considers
They have since likely gotten better they always learn as they go
Also their budgets are always small

They have to be symbiotic with themselves
When people criticize them these are things no one considers
their dev time is 3-6 actually u just don’t feel it cuz they work on multiple projects simultaneously with the budget of a Disney channel movie around 15-20mil and they have to balance game release with the anime and the cards
Everyone can say pokemon should be like Zelda or xenoblade but those games don’t have an anime and a tcg they have to abide by it’s like jenga
Also they do make decisions dictated by the competitive scene
And they may or may not share resources that part I’m unsure of
Hot take:
the point of Pokémon is to appeal to the widest audience possible and that there’s something for everyone from mainline to the anime to the spin offs
Well maybe if people got into the other avenues of the franchise rather than solely the games u wouldn’t be disappointed
Since the series was designed to be symbiotic with itself and to experience every avenue together for a complete experience
U guys need to reevaluate ur priorities Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant
People are too focused on superficial nonsense
let’s be real u didn’t get into the original games for the graphics
And If u didn’t play games for the graphics as a kid then why would u play them for the graphics now
Sorry u forgot what the point of Pokémon was to begin with
Pokémon SV isn’t an unfinished game they just pull all the effort into the shit that ACTUALLY matters
Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs
If
The lore was good
The writing was good
The music was good
The vibes were good
The messages were good
The character designs were good
That’s all you really need
As well as the whimsical gameplay I mean there’s a reason lots of people have said they still think it’s fun despite the issues
The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else
The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe
People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t
People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t
And something that doesn’t fit its style
If its not ur thing just move on imo
They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way

They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way
Calling pokemon “lazy” is lazy they got more to do than most devs they make two games and have to be symbiotic with the rest of the series and all this other stuff
They can’t delay the game they have a symbiotic release system
The games are leashed to the anime,tcg,etc and the anime,tcg etc is leashed to the games
Tpc is constantly playing a game of jenga trying to balance each of its branches
The games are in development for 3-6 years we just don’t feel it because a lot of times they work on multiple generations at the same time they have two teams the games have a 15-20 million dollar budget
They probably share resources
Maybe about the sharing idk
They have been working on Gen 10 for a few years now
Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant
People are too focused on superficial nonsense
If
The lore was good
The writing was good
The music was good
The vibes were good
The messages were good
The character designs were good
That’s all you really need
A believe people still care about that frame stuff
I’m sorry people got so lost and brainwashed by the superficialities of the industry you forgot what Pokémon was originally about
And I know that the game isn’t perfect and that there’s issues
Pokémon is a franchise where the theme is friendship is magic and meeting cute and cool unique monsters
What the hell does graphics and performance have to do with those things?
Nothing if you wanna criticize a franchise criticize it on whether or not it delivered on the messages and themes it promised
Was friendship magic?
Did you meet cute and cool unique creatures?
Ok then it’s a good game
Those are what’s important to Pokémon
As the og theme said
Pokémon is about
Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend
I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside
Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through
you teach me and I teach you”
That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end
Then that’s a strong enough ending for me
Not sure what graphics and animation and performance has to do with that
Performance graphics those things never Mattered
You have to remember pokemon games have only been 3D since 2013 that’s pretty recent compared to other games like Zelda that have been 3D since the 90s and early 2000s so obviously they’re gonna be behind Mixed with the fact that They can’t delay the game because main console for only 5 years compared to Zelda since n64
The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship
The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games
And it’s about time you all understand that by now
They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime
The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga
If you move one thing it all falls apart
They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that
Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games
they are still learning as they go so y’all gotta be patient and give them time to catch up
Their partnership with take two they’ll apply what they learn back into Pokémon so that’s good
You have to remember gamefreak are inexperienced with developing open world games so of course there will be some trial and error the more they work on and improve the game and do future games the better at it they’ll get
Rome wasn’t built in a day we need to be patient
Assuming we get more open world games
NOT TO MENTION ScarVi’s development was probably screwed up by the pandemic
Probably turned it upside down
And before u say just delay the game
They can’t delay the game
The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship
The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games

Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games
it’s not outdated it’s rebellious and nonconformist
The games aren’t rushed there is a schedule they abide by for symbiosis
The games and the anime and tcg are all beholden to each other
You can’t move one without ruining the groove
Unless you one gen 10 game to come out years after the gen 10 anime and have it spoiled
There is a symbiosis there
When you watch the anime it makes u wanna play the game and vice versa so they are companion pieces designed to be experienced together for a complete experience
They choose to live in their own bubble and be one of a kind and not imitate what everyone else does and they have my respect for that
the og games bugs are looked back on as charming
Give SV 20 years it’ll be the same
Running shmunning
whatever issue you have with the games that doesn’t mean anything for the entire franchise idk why you guys like to act like the games is the only part that exists
If u look at how well the show is doing and same with the spin offs and the tcg and the merch
No Pokémon is not “doing bad” lmao yall are so narrow minded it’s funny
I thought we all agreed that Nintendo’s strength is when they focus more on fun not graphics they aren’t Microsoft and Sony
Idk why this mentality changes when it comes to Pokemon
wow I just read all of this and I agree with so much of it. THANK YOU for being a positive Pokemon fan; it really stands out and it's what we want to be as a channel too!
I love SV and I just think seeing both sides of people’s takes are all fun, overall its Pokemon and it'll always be my favorite series/franchise of all time😄
@@SlakSquadnot everyday someone agrees thanks man appreciated
Everyone has become too cynical nowadays unfortunately
@@SlakSquadtrue ❤
The best Pokemon game is obviously Pokemon home
Haha there's an alternate universe where this could be true
I miss my game boy color
We all miss them :( I really wish the switch had vc so I could transfer the pokes to home from the original RBY GSC like we could on the 3ds
You skipped Pokemon Let’s go Pikachu and Eevee. i want to know how they came up with those.
Well, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much…

is that supposed to be BC because I’m dead haha💀😂
Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee you forgot the-
Never mind
Hahaha lets gooooook
Fun fact: Pearl is the only material based name game that comes from a biological source.
That’s really interesting actually, I never thought of it that way
Pokémon X should be called Pokémon Elon Musk
LOLLLLL I never thought of this connection😂
its called pokemon y because WHY WOULD YOU INTRODUCE A NEW TYPE 6 GENERATIONS IN!
(i really do like fairy types tho)
haha me too - more like Y IS THIS GAME SO EASY
You forgot Colosseum and XD. Still a great video!
Haha we're saving them for a hopeful side game video, although I know those toe the line (and are probably) main series so we could've at least mentioned them lol
Как-то чертовски поверхностно, ещё и дезинформацию по некоторым играм вкинул.
What’s that? I know a lot of this is speculation haha
who’s this new guy? ngl he kinda cute
Which guy?
@@SlakSquad omggg he replied! it’s you guy! haha
That was cool ngl
Thanks!
It’s cool how the DLC titles tie into the themes of the newer generations.
For Galar, the theme of medieval items works with sword, shield, armor and crown.
For Paldea, colours works with scarlet, violet, teal and indigo.
That’s a really good point, I should’ve put that in this video but I didn’t notice it right away!
Scarlet (past) for Spain’s monarchism and Violet (future) for republicanism tbh
Interesting political viewpoint - wonder what the 3rd version would be😂
Omega ruby
Alpha saphire
Sigma emerald? Lmao
💀💀
Considering how Sigma is used in math, going from the start to the end, actually yeah.
Fair enough haha
1:50 Sigh. Dude, this dumb take on "theyre battling with magic monsters!! This is horrible!!" Then there would be no story and no game. This take is pretty rundown and pushed to the ground over the past two decades, and it needs to stop man its not funny or creative. it's just old.
Pokemon gen 5 already addressed this but yall still dont wanna listen
Haha I know it’s just all for fun!
of course none of it carries that much weight, just fun to theorize on stuff like that and meme on it
B2W2's names not being grey kind of fits their "there is no true midpoint". It even inverts which non-Kyurem you get if you go to Black->Black Version 2, White->White Version 2.
Very true - We needed bright white and dark black or something lol
didnt explain pokemon sword and shield: crown tundra, pokemon sword and shield: isle of armour. dislike
The DLCs :( We can come back to these! haha they were based off the locations and BRITISH LOREEEEE
glad you liked the video🥹

Thanks for watching!!
How do I have more subs you make good content I just do UA-cam for fun and my content isn't good
Wow congrats on almost 2K! You're so close! And hey good content is good content so 1) be proud of yours and your growing audience! And 2) we just started back in August and are super happy about our growth so far!! Thanks for the sub and watching :)
@SlakSquad I actually had made it to 2k back it October but yeah when I see a small channel like yours I always think that they have been around for years my channel is 5 years old so yeah some people are just cut out for UA-cam some just aren't
Wait no my channel started in 2018 so 6 years old
@SlakSquad oh and I never said that I subbed but I did as you deserve it I will keep coming back as long as you keep making good content just a word of advise if you feel burnout then take a break
Thanks for all the kind words and advice! Us UA-camrs have to stick together haha so I appreciate the support
Also, Paldea is based in Spain, and the flag of the Spanish Republic is scarlet, gold, and violet.
Very true! I never made that connection that’s cool
9:15 oh god dude these pronounciations are horrible man..
which ones? Sorry if I missed some of those, doing our best haha
You are very cute 🥰
just wait until you see Kayden when he comes back😍
First!
Earlier than a Saturday morning cartoon
No Because Pokemon X sucks
watch your attitude, it’s a great game :)
But it's so cool... 😞
@SlakSquad uhm, no?
Hey if millions of people enjoy a game I view it as a great game. Call me in the minority among Pokemon fans but I think every Pokemon game is very very enjoyable. Not saying we shouldn't hold Gamefreak to a high standard though, and they need to do better at times for sure lol
No it doesn’t? Play it again in a few years.
Fun fact in like 2008-2010 pokemon started copyrighting like a bunch of different name ideas and pokemon scarlet and Pokémon purple were among them
Yeah that's cool!! I wonder how many of those they'll end up using soon
