Ok
Awesome Video
Please do a Mew Origins video, I’m certain I and many others would enjoy watching it
With that fun Pokedex trivia done. We can have a non Nintendo game episodes...
We getting non Nintendo game trivia, right?...
Also I really laughed at the Mr. mime section the fact that Nob warned Nintendo NOT to name it like that because it would backfire for them and they didn’t listen to him
Timestamp plz
@@NonisLuck 9:48 is where the Mr Mime section begins
Kinda weird they didn't make it so whenever you see a female Mr mime it'd be called mrs mime. Or atleast make Mr mime only males
@@cammy649 They couldn't decide the latter, because Japan decides the actual game mechanics.
Never forget NOA wanted to turn all pokemon into crass oversexed monsters
Pokemon lore is good for the soul
Unless it's Gengar...
@@brandonthomas6038 very good point
And heart quite gold isn't it.
Amen
@@brandonthomas6038 I heard the first sentence of the video in BOLD text.
That Kadabra thing being a parody of Metamorphosis and being fiction in-universe actually makes it a lot clearer. I've always thought that Dex entry was weird and out of place. I never made the link to Metamorphosis before.
Also interesting that both the Jigglypuff and Clefairy lines ended up in the "Enigma" category and then ended up becoming Fairy types later. I always thought that the only reason Chansey didn't become a Fairy type while the Jigglypuff and Clefairy lines did was because a Fairy type Chansey would be absolutely busted competitively, but it seems like Jigglypuff and Clefairy were always considered more mysterious than Chansey in a way that makes them more suited to be fairies, even from the beginning.
real shit tho, game freak not wanting to splurge that extra bit for more pages was pathetic lol glad based nob begged for them to get more from miyamoto. funny how nintendo has thus far saved gamefreaks ass twice, miyamoto with gen 1 and iwata with gen 2 lmao
When I was younger, I classified the Jigglypuff/Clefairy/Chansey/Marill lines, as well as a few others like MissingNo. and Togepi, as a made-up "Mysterious" type and I'm surprised that most of them not only fit into this Enigma category but also the later Fairy type.
Chansey is about Luck, to be fair/balanced/even it's Normal.
"normal" is also for unclassified and Pokémon that can change types
Aerodactyl: "they must be carnivorous."
Shows footage of it eating fruit.
I mean, this isn't an actual Aerodactyl, it's a creature reborn from Aerodactyl DNA that doesn't know how to act like one.
@@Igorcastrochucre But you'd think a carnivorous creature would know to eat food on an instinctive level.
Pokemon will eat berries both for medicinal value and snacking. Also, in real life, some carnivorous animals will eat fruit just like how we humans eat candy or cookies.
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Then those animals aren't truly carnivorous but instead omnivorous.
they're not brave enough to show it feasting on a Tauros
Was fun watching this whole series come together!
I love how they made Pokemon work in a modern setting instead of a fantasy world. I think that's really creative.
that’s definitely always been the love about pokemon; the idea they could exist in our world
Urban fantasy is always nice
@@zanny3085
Same magic that made Sonic tick. Or the many Kaiju films and shows that inspired Pokemon to start with.
This reminded me of Mother/earthbound lol
It defiantly made Pokémon stand it from other popular RPGs in the 90s, which used a high fantasy setting. The only other rpg I can recall that had a modern setting would be Earthbound, but that wasn’t as mainstream or popular back in the day.
12:50 Oh goodie, Hypno being a creep was around from the start.
Oh god
Wait til those scientists find out the so-called "mad scientist" who created Mewtwo was actually just the old man who owns a pokemon orphanage.
Or that Blaine has owned a legendary Pokemon for ages
@@Icalasari LgPe confirms Blaine helped create Mewtwo (in a nod to the manga)
The insane irony that the sweetest man who was willing to face Team Rocket to protect Pokémon actually experimented on them to make a weapon.
Yes!
We definitely need the origin of Mew!!!
Yes please!
What could it be? The first Pokémon to have appeared 2 million year ago from which all modern animals and Pokémon originated from?
this comment needs more likes
151 likes! (I'm not the 151th)
3:37 Ironically, Voltorb could not learn any Electric-type moves via leveling up in Gen 1.
Neither Hypno nor Drowzee could learn Dream Eater through level-up until LGPE - Midway through *Gen7.*
Get this:
I want the 'Oddly small village spawns oddly talented Trainer-Kid'-Nonsense to STOP.
You know what i wanna be (among other things)?
I wanna be a Make-a-Wish-Foundation-Member who gets his 'Quest' from a Child that has Cancer.
This would allow for countless kinds of starting point.
"Be the Champ cause thats what boys are meant to want" is such a dumb Motivation if you speak it out loud.
Yeah, nothing wrong with the 'traditional' Path but MAYBE I DONT WANNA?
Maybe i wanna be sponsored by a Battle-Cafe/Restaurant?!
Maybe i wanna go and spread the word about 'em in exchange for Money?
People thought about Sponsorship,
but i havent heard from others than me the idea
to have it as your START.
I wanna spread Word of the Cafe in exchange for Money! And in Exchange for my Starter. Yeah, i wanna get my Starter (Lv.15) from a Cafe. Call me odd for this all ya want. I'm done with the small Village Stuff.
I have many ideas in my lil' head,
but the 'Sponsorship' (for example via Battle-Cafe or Fight-Restaurant) and the Make-a-Wish-Foundation as the Employer of the Protagonist are my personal Favorites that i made thought-up myself.
What do you think?
@@angolin9352 studying which pokemon learned which TMs in gen 1 gives some odd insights into the thought process of the game design.
Like: the Raticate 'dex talks about it having a connection to water... and it gets water moves via TM. It's never been a water type or gained water moves by level up though.
It's like the designers have this notion of pokemon with a partial type... IE it's not as simple as having an officially listed type. What a pokemon learns might not be the same as it's physical type.
..... yes Raticate was one of my favorites in Gen 1. I once annoyed the crap out of someone by demonstrating what they can do in PvP. :p Super Fang was a pretty... interesting skill. Guaranteed 50% damage if it hits? yikes! The catch being Super Fang can't KO anything ever. It amused me that the guy I fought with Raticate didn't actually realize Superfang and Hyperfang were different moves when I hit him with both of them.
@@slevinchannel7589 it's a kids game. Of course you're done with the small village stuff.
@@ANONM60D "Its a kids game" doesnt not at all explain bad Quality and such.
I always thought it was obvious Porygon was created at Silph. People inside talk about it a lot.
Yea I think balbapedia mentioned it was created by Silph co....
Actually, Bulbapedia mentions it being created by the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island. A report at Silph Co. mentions this.
@@epitaphboi4816 That item was actually introduced in Gold and Silver. But you're right in that it was made by Silph.
If right. Either it's a Silph employee (current or former) or the building was once theirs. But either way. It's still them.
@@wikiuser92 Wait...so did they create Mewtwo too?
This has been my favorite series. Had no idea koffing was thin skinned. I assumed he was thick and rocky
There is a pokedex entry that states you can see through koffing's skin when it is full of gas.
@@nicodalusong149 oh that’s neat :0 I never knew that
Same, I always imagined it it to be rock with poison gas inside.
Yo same, that makes it so much more gross imo...
"Pokemon is more or less aligned with our own timeline"
>Gold/Silver gives trainers a basic watch/cellphone
>Ruby/Sapphire gives trainers a portable television
>Diamond/Pearl gives trainers a pokemon-finding GPS.
>Sword/Shield just give you a phone.
Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon gives trainers a smartphone.
Diamond and Pearl gave the player a fucking SMARTWATCH, loaded with helpful apps. The thing I'm most excited to see return in the remake is another set of useful tools and apps to make training that much easier!
they literally have game consoles analogous to our world, too. N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch haha
@@JesseBakerH very good point lmao
"Jinx have a sense of shame"
I'm not sure how to feel about this.
Well in the anime Jynx has feet.
So this implies that they get offended if you look under their dress, just like human women.
Considering Jynx is based off of minstrel shows, it's not surprising 😬
@@O.V. No they're not. They have nothing to do with minstrel shows.
@@O.V. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you should do a bit of research before projecting your own ludicrous views onto others.
@@O.V.
Jynx is based on Yama-uba a Japanese Yōkai.
I love the "This Pokémon is thought to be related to this other one that looks exactly like it."
To be fair, cheetahs were once thought to be more closely related to dogs than cats. Hyenas look closely related to dogs, but are in fact closer to felines (though moreso mongooses). It's good to not make absolute claims when you haven't proven the relationship between two creatures.
Also there's the Luvdisc/Alomomola case where both look identical but they're still not related
The book seems to said that line for every pokemon that evolved with a trade evolution
Wait, but the Kadabra thing being a fictional paralel of the pokemon world to The Metamorphosis makes so much sense
So does the opposite. Think of how many times we have seen people turn into pokemon. From experiment mishaps to magic spells to pokemon literally forming from the death of humans. Clearly it is no longer fiction for that world but an actual event.
I will never look at Animorphs the same way again...
I always thought naming a Pokemon Mr. Mime is so dumb and I'm glad that it has a Pokemon-esque name in the german version.
When the video starts with "Did you know that Gengar literally kills people",you know it's going to be a great video.
Gotta chomp on some spirits yo
@@EZOnTheEyes You must be a Gengar.
I think they also do it, via hiding in your shadow too.
Would very much appreciate an episode dedicated to Mew! Loving this series a lot. Also, the Arcanine being a "legendary" makes so much sense to me.
Arcanine has always been my favorite pokemom seeing the "legendary" pokemon in the dex always gave me pride in my poke pup.
@@josephcantu3562 Me too! I always considered him a Foo Dog/Foo Lion, and I'm very happy that the book has confirmed his position. He a good boy. 💜
I'm curious as to why Arcanine was retconned from legendary status.
After all it was tied together with Growlithe and are thus not that uncommon in the wild. It's clear that it's nothing like the "one per game" legendary Pokemon we recognize as such now.
But given it was one depicted in ancient carvings with the birds it's clear that at some point it was intended to be equivalent to them. But for some reason that changed and it was reduced to just being a cool dog Pokemon.
I'm in love with this series, it adds so much depth to the world of Pokemon. It'd be fun to see videos like this for other video game related books!
Deep Digimon lore dive soon, in other words hohoho
@@loonyleper 👀
Insane that the "people can turn into Kadabra?" mystery, is actually just an in-fiction book taken out of context to fit in on the game boy.
Also it would have been so cool if they kept making books of these detail for the rest of the generations.
Voltorb being inspired on that Yo-Kai just cements the theory further
Have you noticed how similar the eyes are to Haunter? And the fact the Power Plant is so near Lavender Town...
So them being actually trapped ghosts puts SO much on perspective...
Gen 1 fascinates me so much with its early lore and rabbit holes, thank you guys SO much for making these Pokedex videos
I would say that Aerodactyl did come first then Archen, so technically both would be correct and it would make more sense based on their designs as well. Aerodactyl is more draconic looking whereas Archen is a straight up bird.
Or represents evolving knowledge of prehistoric creatures.
They could very well be parts of an evolutionary line. Aerodactyl hasn't developed the feathers that are a hallmark of modern birds, while Archen has- quite possibly putting both as ancestors with Aerodactyl being earlier and Archen developing later along the way, but both predate birds as we know them.
Aerodactyl is a pterosaur and those are not relatives of birds. I think they just really messed up.
The greatest pokemon project I've seen in a looooong time.
I shit you not, he turn himself into a kadabra, funniest shit i have ever seen
This entire deep dive into Pokémon lore was pretty interesting.
Thanks to everyone involved in this for their hard work.

Aerodactyl seems closer related to Dimorphodon than Archen, so as is the case with real life paleontology, I think Archen might have just been a later discovery which updated the scientific knowledge about evolution
I was thinking the same thing, with Aerodactyl taking the place of the generic “Dinosaurs evolved into birds,” while Archen goes specifically for the likes of Archaeopteryx and Microraptor.
please dedicate a full video to the origins of mew, that would be such a fun watch
I'd sign on for a full video of Mew goodness for sure!

All three of these videos were fantastic and thorough. You guys really did the fandom and anime/gaming history a SOLID by not only putting this together but by getting Ogasawara-san to officially bless it with his translations. This is content that the world over will reference for centuries--yes, CENTURIES--to come, count on it!
I love the idea that just like a group of fish is called a “school”, and crows are a “murder”, a group of Jigglypuffs is called a “chorus”.
It’s just perfect.
This entire series was very enlightening. Truly sheds light on what pokemon really are. And the thought process on pokemon creation. Thank you so much for putting this out.
I love the aesthetic of early Pokémon. They all interact with humans and the world in such realistic ways. Now it is all sanitized and every interaction between different Pokémon or Pokémon and humans revolves around friendship and cooperation. Which is fine…it’s for kids, but I would totally watch an anime themed in the aesthetic of early Pokémon, where wars happen and Pokémon, being powerful elemental themed monsters, sometimes kill people.
Can always find a way to read the manga. I think there's a few manga, and Pokemon do die in that from graphic combat.
Bewear.
That part hasn't changed at all.
Palossand literally drowns you in sand while devouring your soul and only leaves rotting bones behind, and Bewears have killed countless humans by breaking them in half. Yep, so sanitized and friendly.
That's not true at all. Several Pokemon have been described as dangerous to humans (as a comment mentioned above, Bewear is a great example), and mentions of predation between Pokemon are still going strong in Pokedex entries to this day. For example, Grapploct and Golisopod having a mutual predator/prey relationship mentioned in Gen 8's pokedex.
this series has been so cool ngl
I especially love Nob's little tidbits about the localization process, like his opposition to Mr Mime having a gendered name.
@@GuyNamedSean yeah its honestly really good
they really missed an opportunity to have a Mr. Mime named Marcel in Kalos given who he's based on
If the book said Pokéballs were invented around 1925, then we’re just a few years off from there being 100 year old Pokéballs out there. We could potentially get an actual Pokéball-tsukumogami themed Pokémon within the next generation or two
I mean Pokémon Legends Arceus has an Edo era theme.
@@dragoonTT Given what we get from this book, Legends definitely strikes me as 19th Century in terms of timeline. Given we know from "Pokedex" that the first real studies were in the late 1800s and the protagonist will be doing research themselves, that probably means 1870s-1880s or so.
@@Talendale Also some of the fashion and miscellaneous objects don't look particularly medieval
@@Talendale scarlet and violet scientist are also from the late 1800s
It... is... finished......
I would love to see a video about the history of Mew.
It's been 2 years. Did you watch it yet?
This has been a very interesting series thanks for all the hard work :3

What do you think?
Remember when the anime said Koffing was discovered in a bath house? Quite a difference from a munitions factory.
You can't really say that you found a toxic gas-like creature from a bullet/gun factory now, that wasn't very cash money for Game Freak.
@@frds_skce More likely some kind of chemical weapons facility (very awkward given Japan's historical involvement in German chemical weapons development).
@@GreyWolfLeaderTW I am now imagining Hitler losing in Pokemon WWII because all their chemical warfare turning into Koffing who then decided to explode and ruin many major strategic spots, allowing the Allies to roll in and basically go, "Lol, noob"
To be fair, it was presented as a “True or False” question in a test. It is likely that the “bath house” option was the incorrect one.
@@matthewmagnani2915 Ah, touché
Dude, I’d love a Mew episode. Also, thanks to everyone for their hard work on this series.
These 3 videos have been some of the best ones from DidYouKnowGaming to date! Great job!!
What is intresting here and further the connection between the fictional noval in pokemon about Kadabra and the real one from Franz Kafka is that a more acurate translation of the books title wich in the original language ist Die Verwandlung would be The Transformation.
The Methamorphasis is in my opinion a somewhat inacurate translation of the title given that the word Methamorphose exists in german.
I think English localizers went with Metamorphosis because the word has connotations with insect life cycles.
Maybe the translators chose that word over transformation to hint about the bug transformation. But yeah, i agree.
@@MaverickTsuki yeah....but it's not about the bug but about the family connection and human nature. The bug is just an extra....alldough it doas has some meaning I belive.
@@BeaglzRok1 yeah....but it's not about the bug but about the family connection and human nature. The bug is just an extra....alldough it doas has some meaning I belive.
@@MaverickTsuki in fact if I remember it correctly from school Kafka didn't even want to draw attention to the Bug thing in the first place. That is why the first cover of the book under his advice didn't feature the bug at all but rather only the door I belive. So even Kafka didn't thought of the bug that much.
But be as it may I can not put concrete evidence to it, again it's only what I remember from school and I don't want to surch for it at the moment so it could be that I am speaking nonsence here.
Well dang that was good timing, I just finished part two and was looking for part three and you JUST upload it? Nice.
8:25 Then pokémon mystery dungeon happened.
Yes, please make a separate video compiling all of the canon information about Mew!
This was a very fascinating series that shows us how the real world and pokemon world are related. I think not only a mew video would be awesome to detail the origin of the first truly mythical pokemon, but it would also be cool to make videos about the other mythical or legendary pokemon in the series afterwards.
Dragonite's status as an avatar of the god of destruction is probably tied to Lance's team of dragon Pokemon all knowing Hyper Beam, or Hakai Kousen, "Destruction Beam".
you gotta love the amount of passion and care they put into this, even before Pokemon grew into the mega franchise that it is
Surprisingly, Gengar's entry reflect perfectly what his meta is in Pokemon Unite at the moment. Lmfao
How could Sword and Shield's staff not know whether Pokemon undergo natural selection? Sword and Shield is the second set of games to feature regional variants- what else could they be but the result of natural selection?
They’re too safe with their responses because they don’t want to challenge their target audience.
It’s easier to make shitty simplistic products that don’t provoke thought or create scary controversy by mentioning real world evolution.
sometimes creators or people involved in a project will play along with the lore of their world, like when asked a direct question they will act like your guess is as good as theirs and talk about the characters or story as if they are real or out of the loop.
they probably dont want to answer that completely because for a while now it seems like pkmn isnt too concerned with a consistent lore or continuity so nothing is really set in stone.
Pokemon's lore is dogshit for a reason
It’s better not to write oneself into a corner in an out of universe interview then trap oneself by over explaining. They’re magical creatures that stand somewhere between real animal intellect and human intellect. Best not to drag too many details of the real world into it.
im so disappointed mew wasnt in the book damn :(
What’s the name of the book?
To be fair, Mew was added to the game at the last minute, but with no way to obtain it outside events(as far as people would have known at the time). Putting it in the book actually would have ruined the mystery around Pokemon # 151.
@@oscarledezma231 check the bottom of the description it’s written there
To be fair, it adds to how mystical Mew is.
It was originally intended to be in Red & Green. It was added by a developer in the last minute. I am so glad he did that.
Amazing effort and excellent work from all the people involved in this translation and presentation. A big thank you to Dr. Lava, Mr. Nob Ogasawara and Nekkra, as well as Did You Know Gaming.
Also, going by the official book, there's more than one Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.
Which is confirmed in the Let's Go games.
I'm down for a Mew video
This was a great series guys, thank you so much for making it! There's a ton of cool stuff in this book, apparently!
This is sooo cool! I really wish the pokemon company would put this level of thought into the pokemon series now as it used to back then
18:45
When I was a kid, my brother told me a story behind the tale of Jynx: There was a little girl that lived in a cold regions with mountains who witnessed an Articuno fly by. No one believed her and called her crazy. Driven by bullying, and the disbelief, she climbed to the mountain cave where she had seen an Articuno fly into, and was so enamored to actually find it, she didn't realize she startled the Articuno, who froze her in it's surprise. Due to Articuno's power infused with the ice, instead of dying, in the ice she transformed into a pokemon, Jynx.
Although it isn't canon, it's kinda cool it did match up with the articuno's dex about freezing people into place who are enamored by the sight of it.
Oh wow that's even similar to the actual inspiration for Jinx, the yukiona. If your brother told me he had s uncle that works at Nintendo I would have believed him.
@@GiubileiFernando hahaha that's so cool, I'm really proud of my brother now
Holy duck, I read The Metamorphosis years ago, but I never realized that Kadabra was a reference to it!
I also just thought about it and it makes sense since in Masuda's childhood he liked to catch bugs, so pokemon are like bug collecting.
“Belying” is pronounced “be LYING”, not “bellying”
Next DYKG: Bee lying
She also said "shure-shure" when the screen said "shi-shi"
@@goosebyte That might just be Chinese. It doesn't map well onto English letters, especially due to the problem that Chinese is tonal and sane languages aren't.
Japanese also doesn't map very well onto English. It makes sense, but you have to be trained to read Roumaji correctly and there's 3 different main systems in use and about a dozen hybrid systems that some idiot thinks is better than the other available options. I'm guessing that a similar issue with Chinese is why the screen said "shi-shi" while the reader said "sure-sure".
@@angolin9352 The Japanese differences I am more aware of, which is why off the bat the "r" sound in the word felt off somehow lol. TIL Chinese is a tonal language, thank you for the info!
Good stuff, you folks! Here's looking forward to that video on Mew's origin story!
This has been an amazing series, thanks to all involved. I'm definitely keen for a Mew video.
This has been a real treat!!! Thank you for all the hard work in collecting, recording, and editing this information!!!
Well done!
These Official Pokedex videos are too good for us. It was so much fun watching these videos!
I think that this is one of the best series of videos you guys have put out. I'll echo the desire for a dedicated Mew episode, as well.
I still think they should just call Female Mr. Mimes "Mrs. Mime"
Who says they're all married (or mated)? They should be Ms. Mime.
These are the best videos on this channel imo I love these so much. Nob is awesome
I want the Mew Lore, it's been my fave Pokemon ever since they first came out. Please
This is cool. I wish newer Pokemon had lore this rich
There are many new Pokémon that have a rich lore too.
These three videos were fantastic and riveting. A video of the origin of Mew would be awesome!
this was realy an awesome watch! all in all it's realy cool and in the same time sad that Pokemon isn't as mystical as it once were back in the 90's
These have all been amazing and Nekkra/Nob did such a great job! Thank you DYKG!
Yes, a Mew video would be great! Granted, they’re my favorite Pokémon, but Mew is so iconic with being a secret Pokémon that you couldn’t get in the game legitimately other than through events really had an impact on the franchise and on many early internet sites and school playgrounds.
Thank you all for all of the effort you put into this. We truly appreciate this, as the other comments should tell you as well
I would love to see a full video on mew
This series was truly amazing! Great collaboration & execution! Would love to see a Mew video, as you mentioned!!
Thanks for bringing this together.
It feels weird that Pokémon was originally thought as some sort of an parallel universe of our world, considering how now it has it's own lore and that stuff.
This was one of my favorite series of the channel, seriously.
Going through the whole series, it gives so much context to the world of pokemon! I feel like some pokemon entries of past and present are now more understandable thanks to you and your effort. Fantastic series! Awesome job!
Amazing work as always! Loved these series so much!
Awesome 👏 👏 !! Thanks for taking the time to do all this job, even bringing Ogasawara-san for this project, excellent job!!
This was such an amazing journey.
These latest pokemon videos have been amazing. Seriously, keep up the good work, and of course we'll welcome a video about mew's origin
This is so incredible to hear and after over 20 years of pokémon this is absolutely incredible
Yes, make a Mew episode!
This is the best video about the Pokémon Pokédex. It's great to see the true Pokédex entries for these Pokémon. It's really interesting to hear the full Pokédex entries.
Please do dedicate a video to mew and also if anything like this book could be found for later generations of Pokemon make a video for that too
I'd love for a book like this to turn up for Gen 4. "Arceus. God literally exists. We have sinned and will be cast into the pit for eternity. Because we hooked him up to a fucking treadmill with electrodes. No, not Electrodes. Electrodes"
Thank you so much for this video series!!!
With the recent showing of an ancient Growlithe and it's even stronger resemblance to the "guardian dogs" of China, I'm looking forward to seeing what Hisui's Arcanines will end up looking like when it evolves from them. The Growlithe certainly imply that they'll grow into some kind of even stronger guardian creature. While it's only speculation, Arcanine's legendary running ability and relationship to temple guardians also makes me wonder if it was some kind of Growlithe or Arcanine that were reborn into the ever running, ever speeding Legendary Beasts of Johto.
This was so awesome all the experiments preformed and information giving detail I loved every episode wish there was one on GSC
I literally never wanted this to end
THE FACT THE KADABRA ENTRY WAS A FUCKING SHORT STORY AND WED HAVE NEVER KNOWN WITHOUT BASED NOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH NOB!!!
This was a fun series. I wonder if there's a Gen 2 version of this book?
Excellent, exemplary video! Loved this series! Hopefully this book & its contents became way more readily available to the publci, & outside of Japan, in the near future!
Thanks so much for uploading! It's nice to see the researchers' view in Pokemon!
Thanks for uploading!
Can't wait to see what DYKG does next with Pokemon, thanks for this
DYKG never disappoints.
Mew origin video please!
Thank you for the amazing triple video btw
This series was fantastic. Thank you
These 3 videos are some of yhe best pokémon lore videos ever made! Please do a video on mew!
Also, a personal theory:
Maybe some pokémon, like arcanine & the dratini line, were considered legendaries because they had more power than other pokémon and were rarer. This could explain why even in the game some legendary pokémon feel more like rare pokémon.
please never stop this series!
Such an awesome series of videos, thanks!
