#Pokemon #PM7 - Ігри
It’s easy to forget how much merch Poliwhirl had in Gen 1, but they really tried to make it one of the iconic original Pokémon.
I remember they had a lot of exphasis on Poliwhirl for merchandise and ads. Poliwhril used to be everywhere. And it makes happy because I love Poliwhirl. Favorite Water type Gen 1 after Blastoise
Poliwhirl was/is Junichi Masuda favorite gen 1 Pokémon, and that is why there was Poliwhirl all over the march
I find it hilarious that somehow it had a spot alongside Pikachu, Charmander, and Squirtle over Bulbasaur
It was also Red’s original partner Pokémon in the manga! Lots of Poliwhirl love, and I love to see it
Poliwhirl was on the cover (center) of Time Magazine back in November of 1999. Could be why Poliwhirl got on so much merch. Which is understandable since he’s such a cool Pokémon
Fun Fact: I heard that before Pikachu was cemented as the top mascot, the company tried a bunch of different pokemon to see which one would stick and Poliwhirl was one of them.
So was Clefairy. The very original manga like before pokemon adventures the main character had a Clefairy
But they decided on Pikachu because it would look appealing to both boys and girls, that doesn't stop Poliwhirl from being the favourite of one of the creators or the first pokemon of Red in the manga
Yeah
He was on reds team
WOW
I find it funny how John genuinely likes almost every thing he was sent, almost like a kid on Christmas Day
Except the fake Lego
5:41 FROAKIE HIT THE GYM
Poliwhirl was Satoshi Tajiri's favorite Pokémon, hence the favoritism it got back then. I kinda miss the days of Poliwhirl popularity, if I'm being honest.
And that makes poliwraith like riachu
And poliwag pichu
Would this make Politoed like Alolan Raichu?
Poliwhirl > Pikachu

Poliwhirl was the creator’s favorite Pokémon. That’s why it was pushed so hard. The Welch’s jar was a series of jelly jars that they had Pokémon art on for a bit.
This was the funniest PM7 video I've ever watched lmao. I couldn't stop laughing. This was edited so well. It might be my fav video from him so far
I'm going to guess the reason why there was so much Poliwag and Poliwhirl merch was because Poliwag was the favorite pokemon of the creator. Also it was a very important pokemon in the 1st gen manga, being Red's first pokemon there.
I think it's also cause poliwerl was a main pokemon in the manga :3
its also a very simple design, so easier to make merch, easy paint job being only 3 colors.
That is exactly why.
Think the only reason they stopped promoting Poliwhirl so much was because parents started voicing concerns that the pattern on Poliwhirl's stomach was hypnotizing their kids into becoming obsessed with Pokemon.
No really 😑
But yet not much of poliwraith
Croakier is more curse
I love John's pure childlike, joy with the pokemon beyblades. The pure joy in his voice is just incredible.
To be fair, they're kinda awesome.
Agreed
One time as a kid I was launching Beyblades and they both slammed into each other and one broke the window 😂
@@jinlee9963damn
He needs to work with left burst to make the underground pokemon beyblade tournament
bro, the door knock was so realistic for me
17:06 That magnemite definitly has sturdy.
At least you're knowingly doing this, unlike Purplecliffe who constantly having his credit card stolen by his editors
Wait? Like as a scam? Or a prank?
@@Robbnlinzi It's prank that became a running joke on Jack's videos. They're actually REAL funny.
and most of them he gets weird stuff like taxidermy (spoilers) and (spoilers)
16:30 The look of pure, unadulterated joy and child-like innocence that came across this man's face is NOT to be denied
9:13
I also remember Poliwhirl being one of the most commonly featured Pokemon in merch in the gen 1 days.
10:04 I actually still have this exact Poliwhirl card, which I found in a Value Village. It didn't come with the pokeball case or the Certificate since it was bundled in a bag full of random stuff, but I still cherish it in one of my TCG deck boxes alongside my favorite decks I've assembled.
The Lickitung toy reaction was pure gold
I got one of them
Parkour
I love LEGO™, give that to me right now
No it was pure Iron
🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
I'd be careful with the pokeball that came with the Poliwhirl Keychain if I were you, John. I had 3 from the gen 4 era as a kid and the spring that allows the Pokeballs to open broke after a while. Maybe your pokeball has a stronger spring since it's from the 90s and it's been sealed for years. But I'd still be careful.
The ones from the 90s were surprisingly durable actually
I’ve had one for years and It works fine
I’ve still got my og pokeball and it is great quality. So the 90s toys were very durable
i found one at a yardsale without the pokeball, but it was mewtwo not polywhirl
OMG that Poliwhirl plush at 11:40 brought back early childhood memories! My brother had that one, and we both had Meowth! I put a hair tie on my Meowth's tail so we knew which one was which. This brought me so much joy seeing you open it, and I hope it brings you some joy as well John!
6:06 swole froakie
14:01 “why does it why why?”😂
I know PM7 likes frog Pokemon, I hope this PM7 Plus guy does too
I’m sure he’ll grow attached to the Lickitung too
I don't think so because he is still wondering why there I so much poliwhirl😂
@@spartanninja3159he did say he like *the* poliboy
Same
It’s the same guy, he just has more than 1 channel
16:06 that's not good
the magnemite at the end tho... bro ain't even know he's the main character
The figures that came out during gen 1 pokemon were the best. Like the ones that came with the Gameboy ball thing were genuinely quality imo
Part of the reason Poliwhirl got so much merch is because in the original Pokemon Adventures Manga Red's first Pokemon was actually a Poliwhirl
The poliwhirl that turns into a pokéball brought back some memories as my older brother had a bugger gen 5 version with snivy and oshawot. Haven’t seen much of those anymore but i hope they return
I remember having the water toys! And that old Pokemon packaging IMMEDIATELY took me back🥰
I love how happy john got about the beyblades and the stadium. It was truly beautiful.
The only theories i can come up with about Poliwhirl being so popular for merch early on is either the fact that Red had one as his main pokemon in the manga or because someone in the merch department saw it and really liked it and so they slapped it on EVERYTHING
This is an unboxing of a time capsule from my childhood. I had a lot of this growing up.. not all of it was Poliwhirl but some were. And you are right, Poliwhirl was pretty iconic for his time, more so than his evolution. He was rounder.. more friend shaped than Wrath, and a lot less intimidating
The most common Pokémon in this video is a poliwhirl.
Poliwhirl: 89%
Pikachu: 43%
Bulbasur: 1%
Fun fact slow poke tails fall off on thier own over time. but it does grow back. so most cases when you see slow poke tail dish in the games mostly likely they own a slow poke and tail came off like suppose to. Only ones who really harmed slow poke was team rocket. they refused to wait for the slow poke to shed thier tails off.
I never knew that 😱😱
That explains what’s going on 👏
As the #1 Poliwhirl enthusiast, you have no idea how happy i was seeing That Poliwhirl plush
I still have it to this day, the right glove got burnt but has been with me my whole life❤
"If I can prove that I never touched my bal-"
Bro got me rollin😭🤣🤣🤣
You used the end song to pokemon mystery dungen explorers of the sky and that song makes me cry every time man!!! Your videos themselves are gold so happy to have found them!!
I'm surprised the super bounce balls that had the mini Pokemon figures in them didn't make an appearance! Those were highly coveted in my circle alongside the figure packs. Related to that, the first Pokemon I ever chose was Vaporeon- it was a housewarming gift from one of my uncles.
Omg I know what your talking about because I have the bouncy ball too, dude this whole video was reminder of what pokemon stuff I had as a kid
I definitely had one and destroyed it to get the little vaporeon out
Lol omg my brother has one with Pikachu in it and I'm basically holding it rn. I'm pretty sure ik what you're talking about anyways. I am kinda sad he didn't get that in the video
I still have so many questions as to why the Slowpoke Tail plush even exists...
But other than that, you got a lot of cool stuff that brings back so many memories.
Is one of them where do I get one.
@@NoThankUBeQuietsame
12:00 Is anyone going to tell him that slowpokes just dropped off the tails naturally😕
That moment when you realize the Pokéball button used to be attached to the bottom half...
I legit thought someone was knocking on my window
Oh man, I had the full set of the pokemon office supplies! I completely forgot about them lol. I probably spent several hours just using them as action figures. I should ask my parents about them, there's a solid chance they're in their attic.
To this day, I dunno why the Pikachu staple toy used Bite with his back or the measuring tape Poliwhirl's Water Gun could tie up the opponent, but that's how I played with em.
I also had them
reginald didnt die
man this is such a nostalgia trip - i had so much of these as a kid!
I found one of those reversible Pokeball plushies thrifting once and nearly lost my damn mind. It's a Lickitung and I love it very much.
Wasn't poliwhirl and early consideration for the mascot? (or maybe just one of Red's first pokemon?) And that's why there is a lot of poliwhirl merch?
17:00
Diglett used Dig
*It was super effective*
The opposing Pikachu fainted
14:03 Ok... Now I'm hearing Oh from Home when he says "Why". Man could do impressions
I had a bunch of this merch growing up (and probably still do somewhere), including the Poliwhirl tape measure, which I remember liking a lot.
I think Poliwhirl was in the running to be the mascot or one of the mascots for Pokémon, so they made a whole bunch of stuff for it just in case.
God there's a lot of things I remember collecting as a kid. The Pokemon stationary was part of my collection. There's so many things I missed.
17:20
*Magneton spinning…*
Meanwhile Ninjago music playing: Jump up kick back whip around and SPIN!
I think Poliwhirl was pushed so much because in Japan Poliwhirl was one of the main Pokemon in the manga. It was popular over there so they tried to push it over here too. It stuck with some of us Gen 1ers, but past that didn't really do much lol I still love Poliwhirl!!
John did a Purplecliffe video but instead of his editors stealing his credit card and buying random stuff, John buys weird official pokemon products. Care to do a part 2 john?
4:13
Seeing the poliwhirl pokeball plushie just unlocked a hidden memory when I had the Phanpy one as a kid
Hearing John sound so distraught at 84 pieces is funny. Like, do not show this man some those crazy sets with thousands of pieces!
12:21 when watching the scene, I accidentally rewind it to the whopper seen and died laughing
Ok but why was that magnemite sooo THICK (not in a weird way)
He a round boi
My God. I had so many of these as a kid. I had the bulbasaur pencil sharpener, tangela beyblade, etc. I was expecting more "out of the world" stuff, not my childhood.
Rip tangela for being left out lmao.
Awww I remember those pokemon spinning tops! I got the pikachu one from a cereal box prize!
As for the polywhirl jelly jar (yes it used to have jelly inside it!) they're collectibles! My dad has the whole set :D
Bulbasaur should have been the tape measure because of his vines
Fr
@@amiyabailey-wb6cs I made this ten months ago how did you find this
This was too funny but also super nostalgic! I had that stationary set as a kid, bulbasaur pencil sharpener included... It was the worst pencil sharpener but I sure thought it was cool!
Hey, a Pokemon Welch's jar! My parents got me one in stores WAAAAAAY back when I was just a kid! Mine was a Clefairy one, and yes, they did have jam in them! I don't have the lid anymore, either, which seems like it's the case for this jar, too.
Man, this video is such a blast from the past... I actually had more of these than I expected! BTW, I think the Lickitung is more cursed. The Froakie one makes me imagine they're in a little mech suit, which I think is fun,
Thanks for the fun watch!
My grandpa had a few of those jelly jars, we always used them as drinking glasses. Seeing them again really takes me back.
John not inflating the lapras is a crime
A trip down memory lane with all my old toys. I definitely forgot how much Poliwhirl merch was available back in the 90's lmao.
I bought so much cereal I didn't want to get those tops as a kid. Total nostalgia bomb
Besides the Pikachu, those tops were from burger king
I’ve always loved poliwhirl so this was a really cool video, the tape measure absolutely is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen
I never heard the Burger King whopper jingle, “please Sara let me see the kids” made me laugh. Damn that was funny
Whoa not even a minute in and im getting memories unlocked! I had that golem spinny one! Didnt know this would be a memory video!
I was so surprised when you opened up the I Choose You Pikachu only because I still have mine from way back when and it just made so many memories come back. It's one of maybe three early childhood stuffed animals I still have. It lasts a long time too, mine still has a working voice box even though the cheeks no longer light up
I need to check mine now to see if it still works. It’s currently sitting among a plethora of plushies on the top shelf of my closet
I had no idea they did a rerelease. I had the OG one as a kid and bought a sealed one during shutdown.
1:24 Oh! I actually had those as a kid! I didn't know a thing about Pokemon at the time, but they used to belong to my older cousin and were given to me at some point. They didn’t work great as actual stationery (the Poliwhirl measuring tape broke really quickly and the Pikachu stapler was hard to use) so I basically used them as action figures, especially the Bulbasaur pencil sharpener.
Hopefully they're still somewhere in the house. I'd love to find those again.
16:00 BRO, I HAVE THAT ONE AND HAD IT SINCE A KID!!! It was my favourite plush when I was a kid. I think that mine is not working anymore though.
I thought that was really funny when the chunky Pikachu said I can prove that I never touch my balls😂😂😂😂
Was excited for a video like this after seeing cliffe’s vids like this. Thanks for the vid John! 😁
OMG
This video brought me down memory lane! I had so many of these products myself as a little child that I had completely forgotten. Now I wish I could go back to my childhood home and retrieve them!
"RIP Bozo" had me...weezing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how I'm seeing my old childhood poke products 😂❤
We’ve really entered the magnemite Meta, haven’t we?
Ah I used to collect those pokeball keychains a ton as a kid! Love all the Poliwhirl merch I’m sure ace trainer Liam would be happy about it. I also have that poliwhirl plush! Found it at a goodwill and it was the only Pokémon thing I ever found. I recently re bought the talking pikachu for nostalgia.
That Lickitung toy gives me "You look at him and you tell me there's a god" vibes.
6:10 that froakie reminds me of Frobo from Amphibia
That Froakie made me laugh in a way I've never done before.
14:15 That's a MandJTV Tounge SFX. XD
It was always weird to me having them sell Slowpoke tales at restaurants in Alola.
You should do a Gen 1 playthrough where the pokepull pack thingies decide your team
I always love content involving mystery packs with John because he gets so into it, no matter what it is.
That's an awesome idea!
Only problem would be getting enough of them
I love this video and would love to see more like it in the future it’s fun to see things (some I remember for child but most I don’t) from the Pokémon company that look so fun but I don’t really have the budget to buy myself thanks for letting me see these things with you
That knock at the start made me think that someone was knocking on my window 😅
loved the lego ninjago reference by the end
2:57 "I dont have a pool and I have an inflatable that is the same size as me, youll see me using it"
I uh... In a different context that could mean something entirely different.
Now John knows how Jack feels.
Favourite John quote ever "oh you're doing crime? Boom! Crime over"
YOOO John I totally had those pokemon glasses as a kid!! I think we had like 5 different ones. Seeing that thing just unlocked a freakin sense memory I stg
7:19 buddy got pollywhirled🙃
😢
OMG I have the gold-plated Pokemon card of Mewtwo. Makes me wonder what they're worth
I had that same poliwhirl plush when I was little. I still have it and it’s so old, that one of it’s eyes have turned yellow. I also have one of those Pikachu plushies…I found it at an antique store.
Just read the first Arc of the pokemon Adventures manga to truly appreciate poliwhirl. That was Red’s first pokemon in the official manga. That might be why there’s so much merch of him.
Had like three or four of those Gold Plated cards, my Mom bought them for me. Remember Pokemon nights at Burger King my mom would take me to those sometimes when I asked. Traded the happy meal toys and cards too with other kids.
17:20
"Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well"
Ninjago is my whole childhood brought back so many memories
Ninjago
So if anyone is sad about the slowpoke tail at 12:15 just know that in pokemon lore, slowpoke loose and regrow their tail naturally :) so no harm is done to the slowpokes :)
So many of those old pokemon toys bring back memories, but nothing beats the gold cards. They always made me feel rich as a kid
2:53 I’m having flashbacks to the Metronome Nuzlocke with MandJTV🤣
