This video is such a love letter to the entire franchise It’s so well animated and so much personality stuffed within it. Simple yet expressive like the current anime’s art style!
Bianca and Cheren walking with hilda and then walking with Nate hit me hard, since we known those two goobers since they first got their first pokemon.
That was my second favourite part , I mean it is kinda dark consdiering that there is a theory of Ghetsis having killed Hilda/Hilbert and well that part hit me.
@Sidney J. Duffy Think about it : Either its a plot hole or something darker. -In b2w2 there are constant mentions of Hilda/Hilbert and we even have a device for communication known as X transreciever or something. ( I will refer to only Hilbert rn since I played with him in Black) - Team Plasma is reborn yet Cheren/Bianca do not call Hilbert to save Unova ( since they were legitematedly the trainers of ONE of the Dragons) - When Cheren decides to summon the dragons , he summons N not Hilbert whom he is closer to and knows is the stronger trainer. - When N saves Rosa/Nate from Kyurem's Ice attack , Ghetsis says he was expecting HIM to show up.
They even managed to shove Oleana's head and Rose's foot in for a split second during Bede's scene. So many characters and references put into all these frames, god I love this video. Rip Kris and Leaf tho :c
I couldn’t recognize which antagonist was which, except for lusamine, ghetsis, and the guy with the sick blue hair thing (mobile doesn’t let me scroll up to see the name), can someone please tell me which is which :,)
25:37 Yes, that's a cherish ball. There was a Mareep event in Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. The Ampharos Ethan has was the event Mareep and hence it is caught in a cherish ball.
26:00 Don't fall for that. Wally was still alive and well afterward. (I think even in Ruby and Sapphire, he just stuck around the end of Victory Road) If anything, those flowers symbolize his rebirth - from a timid, frail child to a brave, strong Pokémon Trainer.
They don't show it in the game, of course. But it CAN happen. "If anything those flowers symbolize his rebirth". No. That's not what those flowers represent. Especially in JAPAN. so a JAPANESE company using it, has meaning. And not the one you're trying to force.
That wouldn't make sense, hilbert and hilda are looking for n... who went back to unova when they were looking where he went. Ghetsis spent most of time during the timeskip plotting his every move, he needed kyurem's power at unlocked so he hired colress to handle that for him. Zinzolin felt like n was a pawn all along and he was more loyal to ghetsis then to n, so he was in with the plan. Plus ghetsis wouldn't have been able to kill hilbert/hilda because kyurem wasn't at full power till the player goes into its den and hilbert/hilda reshiram/zekrom was stronger than n's zekrom/reshiram. Plus n would known since zekrom/reshiram would have told him about this due to the SAO trio being connected.
@@WildWeavile Fun fact: in the pokemon manga during the final chapter of the Black and White arc Ghetsis pins Black to Reshiram's body just as it was reverting back into its orb form forcing Black to be sealed in said orb that was lost for two years. N with Zekrom and White eventually reunited with the orb after they were able to locate its ware bouts
@@WildWeavile There is a thing known as a Gun.... Jk. I think this may hold true considering Ghetsis's personality. And again N showed up pretty easily when Cheren called him , I really doubt whether Hilbert went in search of him and still couldnt find him. Morever he is never even seen throughout the game and Iris is the champion.... Meaning that his search for N lasted for a pretty long time.. Besides this theory actually raises stakes for the battle against Ghetsis and adds an emotional weightage to it.
@@WildWeavile I honestly don't think the theory is to far off, especially considering that, if Ghetsis WAS calculating his every move, then he would need to calculate who would stop him. His two biggest threats, at the time, would have been N and Hilda/bert.
@@sageblast3143 except they originally intended on the player characters being able to fight so obviously any theories on their deaths are just headcanons as opposed to lore.
When GameFreak did a survey on fans after BW released they where shocked that the Subway Masters won the popular character (or character design) vote. That's why they're in the video :) I believe the survey was done in Japan? I don't know the full details but I believe the Battle Subway was voted for one of the best features introduced in BW
Did anyone else cry during this music vid when first watching it? Growing up playing these games, hit me right in the feels, dude. Well done. Well done indeed!😭😃💜
I like the gen 5 brother trio, Diantha, and the gen 6 rivals. They're just casual friends doing their own thing, literally the most realistic characters.
About catlin: She isn't in X/Y, she actually debuted in the gen 4's battle frontier as the Brain of the battle castle, though she has Darach battle in her place. I wonder where he went after catlin became part of unova's e4...
31:43 Interestingly, the posters clearly say "The Isle of Armor" and "Tundra" in English here, despite being a video in Japanese. At first I thought the font was Unown script because it's shaped kinda weird but now I'm not sure lol
I'm like 80% sure Guzma is in the bottom right for the evil team leaders Left to right being Maxie, Archie, Guzma But RIP Leaf, Kris, Frontier Brains, and Moms
My favorite moment has to be that the video didn't spoil the B2/W2 Champion. In every main Pokemon game I was always knew who the champion was by either the game telling you or just by simple context. But in my White 2, I never figured it out until I was face to face with the Champion. Truly an amazing video.
@@Zaltiz wait, the USUM protagonists weren't Selene and Elio? Ok, if the USUM protagonists aren't Selene and Elio, they must at least be related to them somehow. They look so dang alike!

This video does have a lot of persona feels and bring pokemon history to life. I absolutely love it. The expression, colors and scenes... Powerful and amazing!!!
24:08 those are the petals of the flowers that show up in wally’s ORAS fight! 25:39 thats a heal ball, which can be bought in the games right before you can encounter a mareep
It would be really cool if these characters they showed as the "main characters" were the protags for Gen 9. They give off Gen 5 vibes, maybe its the crazy hair or something. This video was extremely well done, thank you for putting the time in to analyze this frame by frame for the community. My favorite moment was probably the transition from Hilda to N to Hilbert. Black and White were my favorite games, and they hold so much emotion for me.
I want this animation and art style so bad. The Pokemon series deserves some well animated fight scenes, and added depth to the characters along with some tribulations to conquer
20:58 that was the eye of evil creature that demolish all my pokemon with her insane earthquake and dragon rush, not only that her master also really evil because she using full restore
Old video, but I rewatched Acacia again for the feels, and the lyrics hit so hard even if there's not a single reference to Pokémon. The movement of the animation and the timing of the lyrics also mean a whole lot, it's insane how much work was put into each frame of that video. It's why I love Pokémon so much as a series, it's immaculate. Fun fact, the reason why Blue has Venusaur is that Japan's release of the original games was actually Red and Green, and his name was Green in those games. Also, at the beginning of the MV (0:28 in this vid) you can see a character behind the male MC- that's Rie Matsumoto, the director of the video! You also see her during the end credits, although it's from behind the couch this time. It's a nice nod to how much work she, as well as all of the animators at BONES INC, put into this video.
As a reference for the beginning and the end of the video, where the 4 guys travel through that forest-like area... Kind of looks like that area right before you reach Pinwheel Forest in Unova (Black / White) tbh
i like the subtle touch of adding a green aura around blue since he is known as green in japan it also might be a call back to the original pokemon green in japan could be reaching
the intro showed the type effectiveness of each type (but got displaced as fairy type showed up): water>electric>ground>ice>fire>rock>grass>poison>psychic>ghost>dark>bug>fairy>dragon>steel>normal>fighting>flying
I went by frame by frame for some parts of the video too, in particular the Mewtwo vs Selena and the Sw/Sh protag vs Leon! I have to say those 2 parts were my favourite and were beautifully animated. The "high" part of the chorus also hits perfectly in those parts of the video, which just makes it that much sweeter! There's still a LOT I missed though - such as Gold/Ethan's Tyranitar - so thank you for covering this masterpiece of a music video!
2 things: First, I think the main characters of the music video is a shout out to the two protags from Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. Second: Back when they showcased all the trainers and their main types, when the boy character got his face smashed by the metal pan, Pikachu fell off of his head, and when the girl character ran and jumped off at the end with the Flying types, Eevee falls off.
Hey bro i’ve been watching you for a while and i’ve seen your views. You deserve more views i feel like after pokemon switched to the nintendo switch youtubers have been going downhill, thanks for the vids bro i’ve been playing pokemon togheter with youtubers being at the same part of the story, soul and silver was purplerodri, pokemon pearl was a dutch youtuber, generation 5 i’ve gone through the storymode a lot of times with you, marriland and another youtuber. Same goes with x and y then pokemon sun was with you after that i drifted away from pokemon games i’ve been playing gba however, never got to play emerald so i am playing that one right now, anyways thanks orange and keep it up you got a place in my heart, you will never be forgotten. Legend🔥
The guys in the final are Ingo and Emmet (battle subway) And Nita, Evelyn,Dana and Morgan( battle maison) And also i think that the woman on the sofa is there to represent the moms.
My favorite part of this video is when This man is like: "No lets go eevee/lets go pikachu references and we are good" yet the music video's male and female MC's are literally Chase with his pikachu and Elaine with her Eevee... ohh and btw Molayne replaces Hala as an elite 4 member in Ultra Sun/Moon
I'd love it if it was an offbeat series that's more for adult audiences, they would hook so many people by doing that honestly. Money in their pockets waiting to happen.
Gold vs Red was my most favorite Easter egg! It Brings back so much nostalgia when I first played Pokémon crystal on the gameboy advance which was like over 12+ years ago! Which you challenge him in mount silver I believe
Gold vs red hit me hard as I played heart heartgold version religiously also the transition from Hilda to N to Hilbert got me as I played black damn the nostalgia hits hard
huh....red picked squirtle, and if this video is a reference to the games, would that mean his starter is squirtle in the game? Manga red: bulbasaur Anime red: charmander Game red: squirtle THE REAL RED: pika-pika
18:00 As far as I can tell, Archie must be the one on the left, cause of the high pointy collar. That means ya boi Guz is on the right, just by the elimination method (well, I can barely make out the spiky hair, maybe…?). And yeah, they also didn't include any admins/commanders/executives, call them however you want (even though the Rocket ones are the main villians in Johto). Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this video, but still.
24:06 the red stuff are the petals of the flowers that are around when you beat wally for the last time. I dont remember the name of the flower, but it means "last goodbye" in japan, and basically means its the last time wally will meet you/be alive. kinda sad
Something AMAZING: Blue in this video has Venusaur, meaning Red in this universe picked Squirtle... which we get to see is true later in the Gold vs Red fight, where he uses a Blastoise
Hello I'm late to the party, but I took my time to analyze the legendary shadows (not all but nearly everyone) So that whole scene is seperated into 4 parts, each getting "cut" by first purple light into the second part, yellow light for the third and then green light for the fourth which ends with the villains 1st part: On the ground Tornadus, Thunderous and Landorus, also with their animal forms The right building Volcanion and Kyurem The left building and middle building with Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele, after that Tapu Fini and Tapu Bulu On the top building Phione, Manaphy, Shaymin and it's flying form (that's also the weird shape) 2nd part: On the ground all of the first set of UBs introduced in Sun and Moon, finishing with what I think is the conjoined form of Lusamine and Nihilego The left building with all the 3 legendary beasts, Suicune, Raikou and Entei The middle and right buildings show Hoopa and it's unleashed form, followed by Diancie and it's Mega Evolution, lastly Meloetta and Keldeo I don't recognize the two shapes on the top building 3rd part (This gets confusing because they show the shadows in 6 different locations): On the ground shows all Deoxys forms with Jirachi, Regirock, Regice and Registeel The pyramid with Moldres, Articuno, Zapdos and Celebi The right building with Solgaleo, Lunastra and Necrozma The middle right building with Giratina, it's Distortion World form and Darkrai The middle left with the Lake trio, Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie The left building with Palkia, Dialga and Arceus In the green transition: UB Stakataka overshadowing the middle part of the shot (Probably) UB Blacephalon on the left (Probably) UB Poipole which changed for one frame into UB Naganadel on the right 4th part: On the ground Zygarde in 50%, 10% and full form The big round building showing Lugia and Ho-oh The left building with (what I think) Melmetal changing to Magearna changing to Marshadow (or it's only Magearna but weirdly shaped) The right building with Latios and Latias The top building with Xerneas and Yveltal The middle buildings with Genesect on the right and Victini on the left followed by Crescelia on the right and ??? on the left Also Eevee and Pikachu are Let's Go references themselves :)
Just found another minor Easter Egg, the gym leader types are in sequence of type effectiveness, eg Water goes into electric which goes into ground etc. (water is weak to electric which is weak to ground etc.). This goes on for every type up until fairy however fairy is strong against the next type which is dragon, and we know dragon is super effective on itself. Then steel and normal which idk what happened there but from there it starts again with normal into fighting into flying. They could've done fairy into steel into fighting into flying and then done normal and dragon last but there are too many in order for it to be a coincidence, right? Just another really cool and thoughtful detail I thought I'd mention. p.s. ghost goes into dark into bug and then fairy ruins it for those wondering about that part
Gotta love how Ingo and Emmet went from “minor characters” to suddenly becoming such a *huge* deal for a lot of non-Japanese fans since “Legends: Arceus” came out. With this music video in context they had a huge spike in popularity in only a year! Makes you wonder what Game Freak has planned for them and this ongoing “Faller” plot line they’ve been hinting at for the past few generations.
At 24:15 that is actually champion Green, that's why he emits a green aura and chose a grass type Venasaur as a starter. In the translated Pokemon Adventures comics, his name was changed to Blue, but in the original Japanese manga, he is Green.
25:10 boi be saying how let's go ain't represented in the vid but the two characters of the mv be having a Pikachu and an Eevee which are the let's go mascots XD
I bet few people can recognize Wally in 23:56. That is when the protag leaving the Victory road and Wally asked for a fight. This scene is so familiar to me since Ive played emerald (and some of its ROM hack) for about ten times.
At the very end, I like to think that the Black and white character is the playable character on the very first pokemon game where it's all black and white. I always tear up whenever I see him doing his little wave
23:03 "wait Rosa, *AGAIN* ??? they got Rosa in this video like, 20 times..." dude no... she was only appeared once (twice with the silhouette along the other protags) 23:29 "and back to Rosa, huh" *facepalm* I think this guy hates Black2 & White2 protagonist so much, idk why that's quite rare but... poor Rosa
Yellow's an official OC exclusive for the Adventures manga just like Emerald. Her closest game counterpart would be the female protagonist of Let's Go (which is a stretch, Bulbapedia doesn't even consider it)
I think that the character in the right bottom corner of the villain scene is N, because in one of his artwork he holds his cap, and if you notice, the bottom right silhouette is holding something that looks like a cap
i think lets go and games with mega's are the mega timeline so maybe in the mega timeline green exists or she is just exists in both universes but hasn't made an aprearance since kanto because nintendo just doesnt need to use green in games without mega's
34:14 Little does he know, but the Submas brothers, Ingo and Emmet, are VERRRY popular among fans :D (at least now, I don´t know how much they were 2 years ago)
This video is such a love letter to the entire franchise

Boy you must be a big fan of lillie. I love her too
Ruatfela chhakchhuak Yes I am and yay!!!
@@WarmLillie I see you everywhere, how!!!
@@j44son Nani!! For real?
"Daddy" - definitely felt the emotion there. Same, same.
i like the subtle touch of adding a green aura around blue since he is known as green in japan it also might be a call back to the original pokemon green in japan could be reaching
the intro showed the type effectiveness of each type (but got displaced as fairy type showed up): water>electric>ground>ice>fire>rock>grass>poison>psychic>ghost>dark>bug>fairy>dragon>steel>normal>fighting>flying
I went by frame by frame for some parts of the video too, in particular the Mewtwo vs Selena and the Sw/Sh protag vs Leon! I have to say those 2 parts were my favourite and were beautifully animated. The "high" part of the chorus also hits perfectly in those parts of the video, which just makes it that much sweeter! There's still a LOT I missed though - such as Gold/Ethan's Tyranitar - so thank you for covering this masterpiece of a music video!
2 things:
First, I think the main characters of the music video is a shout out to the two protags from Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee.
Second: Back when they showcased all the trainers and their main types, when the boy character got his face smashed by the metal pan, Pikachu fell off of his head, and when the girl character ran and jumped off at the end with the Flying types, Eevee falls off.
Hey bro i’ve been watching you for a while and i’ve seen your views. You deserve more views i feel like after pokemon switched to the nintendo switch youtubers have been going downhill, thanks for the vids bro i’ve been playing pokemon togheter with youtubers being at the same part of the story, soul and silver was purplerodri, pokemon pearl was a dutch youtuber, generation 5 i’ve gone through the storymode a lot of times with you, marriland and another youtuber. Same goes with x and y then pokemon sun was with you after that i drifted away from pokemon games i’ve been playing gba however, never got to play emerald so i am playing that one right now, anyways thanks orange and keep it up you got a place in my heart, you will never be forgotten. Legend🔥
The guys in the final are
Ingo and Emmet (battle subway)
And Nita, Evelyn,Dana and Morgan( battle maison)
And also i think that the woman on the sofa is there to represent the moms.
My favorite part of this video is when This man is like: "No lets go eevee/lets go pikachu references and we are good" yet the music video's male and female MC's are literally Chase with his pikachu and Elaine with her Eevee... ohh and btw Molayne replaces Hala as an elite 4 member in Ultra Sun/Moon
I'd love it if it was an offbeat series that's more for adult audiences, they would hook so many people by doing that honestly. Money in their pockets waiting to happen.
Gold vs Red was my most favorite Easter egg! It Brings back so much nostalgia when I first played Pokémon crystal on the gameboy advance which was like over 12+ years ago! Which you challenge him in mount silver I believe
Disappointing, where is that one youngster that loves shorts?
Joey
“Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!”
Most important WHERE IS THE FISHER WHITH SIX MAGIKARP OR THE BUG CATCHER WHITH SIX CATERPIES.
@@sira26 Joey is the one with the top percentage rattata. Ben is the one that likes shorts.
13:50 this is like the big boi version of “who’s that Pokémon?” XD
who's that legendary.......
Gold vs red hit me hard as I played heart heartgold version religiously also the transition from Hilda to N to Hilbert got me as I played black damn the nostalgia hits hard
29:10 You can see Oleana and Rose confronting Bede.
Caytlin shows up in platinum's battle frontier with Darach, and then she shows up in bw as an elite four :)
huh....red picked squirtle, and if this video is a reference to the games, would that mean his starter is squirtle in the game?
Manga red: bulbasaur
Anime red: charmander
Game red: squirtle
THE REAL RED: pika-pika
He has all three when you battle him in hgss.
Its probably symbolism of him being the protagonist having any starter being 'canon'
@@runedoom yeah, but that's already the 2nd generation, and red isn't explained of what he really picked.
@@lenka781 yeah
@@ELIXirr-zu9vo considering pikachu is his main, it's yellow version red, who gets all the starters. I should've been clearer about that.
I wish ZInnia would have been in it, but kudos for sitting down and going through it frame by frame!
my man didn't even mention fantine.and she was RIGHT THERE. and byron too. he looked at him. counted him, forgot to name him. :((
18:00 As far as I can tell, Archie must be the one on the left, cause of the high pointy collar. That means ya boi Guz is on the right, just by the elimination method (well, I can barely make out the spiky hair, maybe…?).
And yeah, they also didn't include any admins/commanders/executives, call them however you want (even though the Rocket ones are the main villians in Johto). Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this video, but still.
24:06 the red stuff are the petals of the flowers that are around when you beat wally for the last time. I dont remember the name of the flower, but it means "last goodbye" in japan, and basically means its the last time wally will meet you/be alive. kinda sad
20:53 That face when you're a Garchomp and you see an Ice/Fairy type Alolan Ninetales XD
The shadow you thought was Ethan was actually Hilbert, you could tell by the curly hair.
12:48 altaria not swablu swablu is the pre evolution mo
I always thought that woman at 0:29 was the protagonist's mother, and also this mv until it says 'GOTCHA!" is 2:31, which 1:51 seconds zzz
13:01 it's an altaria bro
Thanks for making this video ❤️❤️❤️
Something AMAZING: Blue in this video has Venusaur, meaning Red in this universe picked Squirtle... which we get to see is true later in the Gold vs Red fight, where he uses a Blastoise
Blue have Venusaur because in japanese his name Was Green and you can see his Green Aura
I didn't even clue in to the Stand By Me thing in the music video. I just thought it was a Pokémon journey but that makes sense.
Me neither until i watched this😅
The four boys also represent each of the band member who performed the song
When he's like "who's barbarcle is that. We didn't have a water gym leader in X&Y" me crying in Seibold.
Felt attacked when he said no one likes diantha 🙃🙃🙃
Same she's my favorite champion and he just stepped on here >:'o
*her
@@jasonmartinez7774 whitney > diantha > cynthia
facts
Tbh I don't like her
Bad
The shadow he was having trouble with was Sky Shaymin
“I am not gonna remember her name”
**says her name correctly and technically remembers her name**
Hello I'm late to the party, but I took my time to analyze the legendary shadows (not all but nearly everyone)
So that whole scene is seperated into 4 parts, each getting "cut" by first purple light into the second part, yellow light for the third and then green light for the fourth which ends with the villains
1st part:
On the ground Tornadus, Thunderous and Landorus, also with their animal forms
The right building Volcanion and Kyurem
The left building and middle building with Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele, after that Tapu Fini and Tapu Bulu
On the top building Phione, Manaphy, Shaymin and it's flying form (that's also the weird shape)
2nd part:
On the ground all of the first set of UBs introduced in Sun and Moon, finishing with what I think is the conjoined form of Lusamine and Nihilego
The left building with all the 3 legendary beasts, Suicune, Raikou and Entei
The middle and right buildings show Hoopa and it's unleashed form, followed by Diancie and it's Mega Evolution, lastly Meloetta and Keldeo
I don't recognize the two shapes on the top building
3rd part (This gets confusing because they show the shadows in 6 different locations):
On the ground shows all Deoxys forms with Jirachi, Regirock, Regice and Registeel
The pyramid with Moldres, Articuno, Zapdos and Celebi
The right building with Solgaleo, Lunastra and Necrozma
The middle right building with Giratina, it's Distortion World form and Darkrai
The middle left with the Lake trio, Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie
The left building with Palkia, Dialga and Arceus
In the green transition:
UB Stakataka overshadowing the middle part of the shot
(Probably) UB Blacephalon on the left
(Probably) UB Poipole which changed for one frame into UB Naganadel on the right
4th part:
On the ground Zygarde in 50%, 10% and full form
The big round building showing Lugia and Ho-oh
The left building with (what I think) Melmetal changing to Magearna changing to Marshadow (or it's only Magearna but weirdly shaped)
The right building with Latios and Latias
The top building with Xerneas and Yveltal
The middle buildings with Genesect on the right and Victini on the left followed by Crescelia on the right and ??? on the left
Also Eevee and Pikachu are Let's Go references themselves :)
Just found another minor Easter Egg, the gym leader types are in sequence of type effectiveness, eg Water goes into electric which goes into ground etc. (water is weak to electric which is weak to ground etc.). This goes on for every type up until fairy however fairy is strong against the next type which is dragon, and we know dragon is super effective on itself. Then steel and normal which idk what happened there but from there it starts again with normal into fighting into flying. They could've done fairy into steel into fighting into flying and then done normal and dragon last but there are too many in order for it to be a coincidence, right? Just another really cool and thoughtful detail I thought I'd mention.
p.s. ghost goes into dark into bug and then fairy ruins it for those wondering about that part
I am so happy we have no trace of Ash here.
why
The sun and moon protags have cool names. Selene, Goddess of the Moon. Elio, short for Helios, God of the Sun
There was no
Kris
Blue/Leaf
Battle Frontier Brains of Hoenn and Sinnoh
Looker
Masara Town no Satoshi and pikachu with the org cap
Rotom dex
There hardly Iris and Alder, just a high five
Zinnia too maybe
Satoshi is prob not in game
There so many reference!!! I want to rewatch now to see all the references.
Gotta love how Ingo and Emmet went from “minor characters” to suddenly becoming such a *huge* deal for a lot of non-Japanese fans since “Legends: Arceus” came out. With this music video in context they had a huge spike in popularity in only a year! Makes you wonder what Game Freak has planned for them and this ongoing “Faller” plot line they’ve been hinting at for the past few generations.
Even though I don't think they will do anything with the Original characters, I would still love to see them again someday
The 'mom' is at 0:20 , hugging the 'original' female character as a baby with eeve. The male one is at 0:28 sleeping in the sofa
At 24:15 that is actually champion Green, that's why he emits a green aura and chose a grass type Venasaur as a starter. In the translated Pokemon Adventures comics, his name was changed to Blue, but in the original Japanese manga, he is Green.
Some of the ones that I spotted that went unnamed were Moltres, Xerneas, Oleana and Chairman Rose.
25:10 boi be saying how let's go ain't represented in the vid but the two characters of the mv be having a Pikachu and an Eevee which are the let's go mascots XD
14:15 I think that's Shaymin.
16:59 I believe that's Latias and Genesect
21:15 F.
34:13 well now we know why they include ingo and emmet even though they're minor cahracters, pokemon try to tell us hints since 2020
I bet few people can recognize Wally in 23:56. That is when the protag leaving the Victory road and Wally asked for a fight. This scene is so familiar to me since Ive played emerald (and some of its ROM hack) for about ten times.
At the very end, I like to think that the Black and white character is the playable character on the very first pokemon game where it's all black and white. I always tear up whenever I see him doing his little wave
When there's a Kyogre and Groundon on the background, right after the rain turn into emerald light, representing Raquaza.
The first shot of the four guys is a reference to Red and Blue where the TV in your room is showing “four boys walking on a railroad”
23:03 "wait Rosa, *AGAIN* ??? they got Rosa in this video like, 20 times..."
dude no... she was only appeared once (twice with the silhouette along the other protags)
23:29 "and back to Rosa, huh"
*facepalm*
I think this guy hates Black2 & White2 protagonist so much, idk why
that's quite rare but... poor Rosa
Everyone: “It’s got all the protagonists”
Me: “Yellow?”
Green(female)?
Yellow's an official OC exclusive for the Adventures manga just like Emerald. Her closest game counterpart would be the female protagonist of Let's Go (which is a stretch, Bulbapedia doesn't even consider it)
Iris is missing..
@@shashichocolat7560 She is there if you look carefully but it isn’t really that clear.
@@metalmoltres8031 where? I dont mean her hand, I mean her in person.. this is a shame tho she's one of the champions :/
I think that the character in the right bottom corner of the villain scene is N, because in one of his artwork he holds his cap, and if you notice, the bottom right silhouette is holding something that looks like a cap
Also the Pokemon trainers and their rivals can be also called by their game names, like diamond, pearl, platinum,sun and moon (except remade games)
19:04 It's Hilbert! 😄❤
Nice to hear some persona music while looking at all the secrets of pokemon
whats the song at 19:00?
@@2gokce a remix of beneath the mask but I don't know which remix
Elio and Selene: why don’t they remember our names 👁💧👄💧👁
Ikr
([Sabrina] looks like a Rocket grunt.) Spoiler: in Adventures, she is a commander of Team Rocket.
i think lets go and games with mega's are the mega timeline so maybe in the mega timeline green exists or she is just exists in both universes but hasn't made an aprearance since kanto because nintendo just doesnt need to use green in games without mega's
34:14 Little does he know, but the Submas brothers, Ingo and Emmet, are VERRRY popular among fans :D (at least now, I don´t know how much they were 2 years ago)
This is the crossover we wanted NINTENDO!!!!
I love that music video!!! Lillie looked so beautiful!!!!
I actually got my latest profile pic from it.
