    I appreciate the fact that they literally watched through all 651 episodes and 13 movies, for this one video. His persistence is praiseworthy. What blew my mind was that Pikachu wasn't at least lvl 50 after so many episodes.

    It should be like level 1000 at this point but it keeps reverting back with every new region. I’ll never forget when a Pikachu with experience in multiple championships lost to a Snivy with zero battle experience. Even with its electric moves sapped, that’s ridiculous.

    • @technoloverish
      @technoloverish Рік тому +30

      That was definitely odd, though I have the feeling that they might’ve had it happen that way so that Trip would be seen by viewers as a meaningful rival. They probably thought that if they had him lose in their first match, viewers wouldn’t be very motivated to see what happens between them later on. As far as levels go, I’ve been wondering that too, but part of me has recently begun to feel that numerical levels don’t exist in cartoon in the same way they do in the games. For instance, one noteworthy thing is that when Pokémon evolve in the cartoon, it often happens during a tough match where evolving is necessary to win, which suggests Pokémon from the cartoon have a level of control over when they evolve, whereas in the games, most Pokémon evolve at a specific numerical level

      yea probably thou for my sanity i just liked to cap Pikachu at what ever highest lvl it would be for a sertain region and him getting no more than 5/10 to the next one as he isnt an evoveld pokemon so getting exp after a sertain point where he should be evolved makes it harder (no real cannon to bese this on its just how i explained it to myself just to not have to think about it much while watching )

      I mean, considering you can watch 52 episodes (you can watch more but thats just an estimate) in 16 hours, you can watch 600 episodes in about 12 days this means that to go throughout all of the pokemon up until that point, he would be able to watch all of it in 20 days and still have time to do other things

You know the one where Fry finds the fossilized remains of his dog Seymour and at first wants to clone him but then decides not to after learning Seymour lived another 12 years after Fry was frozen and Fry's assumption Seymour would've moved on and forgotten him during that time. But as the episode ends we see a flashback to the day Fry was frozen, revealing Seymour spent the rest of his days loyalty waiting in front of Panucci's Pizza, hoping for Fry to return, year after year, until finally laying down and closing his eyes one last time before the screen fades to black.._

I’m the game you level up and get stronger linearly, in the anime it always seems that they don’t operate on level strength whatsoever, more willpower and strategy lead to wins and evolution is usually based on things like maturity, emotion, and location.

    I think in the pokemon show pikachu's (and all other pokemon) strength works kind of like how ours does. So you can basically lose strength after not training for a while. Given that I think whenever pikachu is taking a backseat to other pokemon he's getting weaker, but I also think battles are more realistic. Where even a lucky lower level pokemon can take down a much stronger opponent. Nothing like how the game is.

    Since we are using the in-game calculations, there is another variable that might come up that wasn't mentioned in the initial equation. Exp. totals should be divided by the total number of allied pokémon that took part in a given battle, and didn't end the battle fainted (e.g; if both Pikachu and Caterpie were used in a battle, and neither pokemon fainted, then the total should only be worth half for Pikachu)

      @@idonotpost1456 the sad part is, you're trying so hard to be sarcastic, when, I actually know, and studied, the lore, extensively to where I currently write fanfiction by the lore. And, I don't need to know the lore at ALL to disprove his theory. For starters, the movies are not all "confirmed" canon. You can say they are, and that's fine, Bulbapedia will disprove you on that alone, and other theorists have shown what movies are outright canon and which are more subjective, like Lumiose Trainer Liam. Basing the levels of living, breathing creatures in the anime, on set levels of the ingame Pokemon, is ludicrous. Saying Team Rocket's Pokemon at the same level as in game grunts, without explaining why. Is that what you're defending? The TRio loses to Ash all the time, so to assume Giovanni's more competent grunts would match TRio's Pokemon levels is inconclusive, assumptive, and flat out wrong. Comparing the Indigo League levels to the ingame E4 levels when an actual E4 exists in the anime and is not related to the Leagues in the anime in any way, is absolutely lazy. He even think no one remebers the Orange Islands when it is a consistently brought up arguement for Ash's accomplishments as a Trainer in literally, LITERALLY, ANY Pokemon discussion about Ash, but somehow you think no one knows about it. Please, show me, where I'm wrong in any of this, oh great, powerful, smarter than me commenter, that I may apologize for my apparent lack of knowledge. I await you oh great one, to teach me in the errors of my ways. When you do so, allow me to humbly bow at your feet, my king, my god, my ruler.

      Very legit. Just like Goku being way over 9000 and still dying to a heart virus or how being off-guard allows bullets to a least nick him.

    As one wise man said(it was me):
    “Pikachu has the same level, as an amount of stars you can see by looking at the sky…”
    and
    “Do you know how many HP does have Pikachu? It’s like a Number of Grem, but bigger!”

    PLEASE tell me you're going to release those battle notes for all the Pokéwikis!
    On a similar note, I've always wanted a whole list of episodes with evolution. Those were my favorite episodes as a child.

      This is another obviously wrong theory
      and other, actual Experts have already
      found way better solutions before.
