LIKE 👍 COMMENT 💬 and SUBSCRIBE 🔔 JOIN MY PATREON FOR FULL REACTIONS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING WHY ONE OF THE HOENN INTROS IS MISSING. I had a hard time getting this video up on the channel, so I had to do some tricks of the trade to get this one up, but that one intro just wouldn't play nicely. It stinks that one couldn't make it into the video, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. The FULL UNEDITED version can be found on my Patreon, though, and that includes the missing song. NEWEST EDIT: I had to trim out two more themes due to the video being blocked after being up for a few days. Sorry, everyone.
As someone who's watched all of the Pokémon anime (Almost all of it as a kid growing up) Pokemon XYZ anime is definitively the peak in quality. If I eved had to re-watch a full Pokémon anime series it would have to be that one. Putting nostalgia aside, XYZ quality wise is the best.
0:33-2:38 Kanto-Orange Islands (Red, Grene/Blue, and Yellow) saga 2:39-5:10 Johto (Gold, Silver, Cyrstal) saga 5:20-7:33 Hoenn (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen) saga 7:36-10:06 Sinnoh (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver) saga 10:24-12:01 Unova (Black, White, Black 2, White 2) saga 12:28-14:07 Kalos (X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire) saga 14:31-16:02 Alola (Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!) saga 16:04-17:39 Journeys (Sword, Shield, their DLCs, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus) saga. This is the series where Ash travels to many different Regions (not just Galar) and where his story officially ends, yes. Looks like the only English opening that wasn't included is Horizons, which makes sense as it's only recently gotten an English dub.
And the Aim to Be a Pokèmon Master opening..basically for Ash's last 11 episodes they brought back another remix of the original theme using different clips from all the seasons.
The thing with Brock was that he left for the Orange Islands because he fell for Professor Ivy, and Tracey joined up in his place. He came back for Johto and stuck around through Sinnoh
So in my personal head canon Ash is 10 for the first few generations, Then is 11 for Unova and Kalos 12 throughout Alola And 13 at the beginning of journeys but has turned 14 at the end
My personal favorite series of all the shows is xy/xyz! The intros are awesome, and the show really feels like Ash grew up to be at least a teen, which I appreciate. And Serena (the brunette girl in the openings) is definitely on of, if not my favorite character in the franchise! And the other two in the openings (Bonnie and Clemont) are awesome characters to travel with Ash. Its overall just a great way to continue the story of Ash! Also it totally gave us one of the most iconic scenes in Pokemon history (if you know, you know) 😂
I liked all of them except black and white. Black and white was a poorly executed reboot of the anime imo. The black and white video games were great tho
8:25 that character is named Hunter J a completely original Pokemon character she was never in the games and she was a fucking badass villain as her name says she was a Pokemon hunter who would kidnap Pokemon, imprison as fucking statues, and sell them off....she also fucking dies her aircraft crashes down into a body a water with her in it and we NEVER see or hear a word about her for the rest of the DP series
I recommend you also check out all the Pokémon mini series like Pokémon Origins, Generations, Evolutions, Twilight Wings, Hisuian Snow, and Paldean Winds. Unlike the main series they actually tell stories from the games and they have beautiful animation
I think I watched some of Origins and loved that it was based on Red, iirc. I'll definitely revisit it at some point because I don't remember much from it, and idk if I even made it past e1.
@@ReactZonesI would definitely recommend the hisuian snow as it has my favourite Pokemon of all time in his hisuian form zoroark and honestly it is the best form and design that the Pokemon franchise has given to any Pokemon .
10:00 basically this is time and space incarnate who are the two children of god in the middle and above god is his other child who is basically Lucifer except it's debatable whether he's actually evil or not
@@ReactZones yeah those are some of my favourite legendaries especially since it really split the difference of some legendaries being godly entities as well. God is called Arceus, Lucifer is Giratina, time incarnate is Dialgia (the blue quadruped) and space incarnate is Palkia (white and purple biped with wings)
Id love for you to reacr to the japanese versions. They are all full 1:30 minute standard legnth anime openings and not just the 40 second ones that the english versions end up becoming
Several of the regions have multiple OPs yes. Like Johto. The second OP is, I think for the Orange Islands arc, which is, sort of in between Kanto and Johto arcs. And Brock did leave briefly for the end of Kanto and the Orange Islands and was replaced by Tracey, but came back for Johto through to Sinnoh. I like the Advanced Challenge OP. I wish there was a full length version of the song. I think it's one of my favourites. The 'coins' shown in the last Gen 3 OP are Frontier Symbols, not badges. The gen 3 games (Emerald at least) and the anime introduced something called the Battle Frontier, and if you beat the 'Boss' (the Frontier Brains) of each Frontier Facility you would get a symbol to prove you won. Which is what Ash was doing for that arc, after having deal with the Gyms/League from Hoenn. 'Isn't Treeko from gen 3' it is, but that wasn't Treeko, that was Snivy. Treeko is a gecko while Snivy is, well a snake. I think Black and White and Sinnoh are the only seasons I never actually finished fully. Dunno why mind you, I just kinda, didn't. XY/XYZ are dope seasons but the Sun and Moon/Alola series is my big favourite. It's SO good. The animation may have changed but it is GREAT. They're so expressive and the battles are so clean and you can tell the animators having a blast with it. People really need to give it a try instead of just dismissing it b/c of the art. The Journeys art style is somewhere between the new Alola one and the older style. I guess trying to find a middle ground between them.
Watch the Japanese version, though they are not that great imo for the first 5 seasons but they ramp it up alot in s6 and beyond. Horizons also has 2 massive banger and by far my 2 favorite pokemon openings
Unbeatable and Stand Up (Battle Cry) are still two of the best themes ever. The energy is incredible and so much motivation comes from it😊❤Goosebumps every single time.
6:46 those were the Battle Frontier Medals gifted by the Frontier, I only played through the Battle Frontier once (Heartgold and Soulsilver) and I haven't watched the Anime season yet (Bing watching the whole show on Episode 69 of Season 1) I only know by research on Bulbapedia what they're called.
Pokemon Was No Longer Under 4Kids After Advanced Battle And Fired All The Original Cast Members And Replaced Them With The Pokemon Company In Battle Frontier.
Pokemon Brock was replaced by Tracey during the Orange Islands not Johto but Brock was much more popular than Tracey so he came back in Johto and stayed until Black and White replaced him with Cilan Cilan wasn't as good as Brock but Clemont in xy/z was a very interesting charecter
Tracey was created because the creators assumed Brock could be seen as a racist stereotype in the west, but when that didn't turn out to be the case, they hastily brought him back and shoved Tracey into the background.
Brock is a character who falls in love with any woman not younger than him. but he doesn't touch boobs or do any other pervert thingy. he knows his limits and he knows when to give up, for example in the darkrai movie
Loved the vid bro I’d suggest checking out the Japanese openings, they are longer and the visuals are more eye catching (if you do make sure to include the second horizons opening, it’s animation is so clean definitely worth a look) ^^
Honestly, my favourite series was diamond and pearl. Still has this OG vibe (first 4 gens had it), story is peak, animation is like early 2000s (which i love), the best ash's rival, Brock is still there. Dawn was great and she had many great episodes. Team rocket had some really cool episodes. It has to many episodes though, in total it gives about 180-190 I belive. For one region And man... Chimchar arc. If you know, you know.
Yeah the Pokémon anime was great, and I know your probably used to Misty and Brock, but I think you’ll like a lot of the other traveling companions as well.
Tracey (I think that's who you meant by terry) replaced Brock during the Orange Island Arc (Season 2) because they thought the audience would see him (Brock) as some sort of stereotype, than to realized that, that wasn't the case and instead the Brought back Brock for the Johto Arc (Seasons 3-5) up to the Sinnoh Arc (Seasons 10-13) making him Ash's longest Travelling companion (With 12 Seasons, too many to count Episodes, 14 years) and that's a brief history of Brock and Tracey to answer your question.
What Pokémon have you played and which ones I have you finished the main storyline and which ones have you completed the post-champion storyline? (Nevermind shouldn't have skipped past the intro you answered my question in the start)
The Female and Male leads that accompany Ash in each region/series: Kanto/Indigo League: Misty and Brock Johto: Misty and Brock and Tracey(the dude you're mistakenly calling "Terry") Hoenn/Advanced Generation: May and Brock and Max(the little guy who's May's brother) Sinnoh/Diamond and Pearl: Dawn and Brock Unova/Black and White/Best Wishes: Iris and Cilan Kalos/XY: Serena and Clemont and Bonnie(the little girl who's Clemont's sister) Alola/Sun and Moon: Mallow(green hair), Lillie(blonde hair), Lana(blue hair), Kiawe(dark skinned guy), and Sophocles(fat guy) Journeys(no specific region since they travel all across the world in this one): Chloe and Gou Cameos of certain leads in series outside their own: Misty: Cameos in Advanced generation, Sun and Moon and Journeys May: Cameos in Diamond and Pearl and Journeys (her cameo in Journeys is silent though because her Japanese voice actress suffered from an illness that impacted her voice acting and singing career back in 2012, and Japan is known for being very hesitant on recasting characters who's voice actors are unable to voice whether because they suffer from an illness that prevents them from performing or they are just outright dead, so if removing the character from the show altogether is an option or keeping them silent is an option they'd rather take that than to recast the character, this is out of respect for the original actor/actress) Dawn: Cameos in Black and White/Best Wishes and Journeys Iris: Cameos in Journeys Serena: Cameos in Journeys Bonnie: Cameos in Journeys Lillie: Cameos in Journeys Mallow: Cameos in Journeys Lana: Cameos in Journeys Brock: Cameos in Black and White, Sun and Moon and Journeys Tracey: Cameos in Journeys(only a silent cameo because his Japanese VA is not the cheapest to hire, especially just for a cameo) Max: Cameos in Journeys Cilan: Cameos in XY and Journeys (but only as a silent cameo, same reason as Tracey) Clemont: Cameos in Journeys Kiawe: Cameos in Journeys Sophocles: Cameos in Journeys
10:59 nope, it's actually different songs but the same singers. The video you watched just strung the openings together in a way that made them seem like they're using the same song. There are full versions of all the openings up to the XY generation, you can take a listen if you want. The full versions of the Black and White series openings are my favorite alongside the Advanced generation openings 🔥💕
I remember when I was in first grade, came back from school. My father was still making lunch, so watched some TV. Zapped through the channels and coincidentally one of them had Pokemon on. Was one of the Hoenn seasons and the first memory of watching it was May in some contest. So the Hoenn anime will always have a special place in my heart. The episodes in Sinnoh are great, too and Diamond was my first game. Might be nostalgia speaking but that has gotta be the best era. Ash actually was depicted as VERY competent, Brock always makes the episode better ofc, and Dawn was actually Ash's equal in a lot of ways while other female companions either looked up to him or treated him like a stupid child.
listen, the 2nd opening was for the Orange islands- PRIOR TO JOHTO REGION. but GEN 2 mons did appear before it came out. like said Donphan. as well as Misty's Togepi, and Ho-oh
I really hope you decide to watch Pokémon anime it was my childhood to seeing you watch it would be amazing I can’t wait for you to see xyz that was my favorite
just gonna say before you have started reacting to the openings that i have memories of me watching the anime but im curious of which ones i will recognise. i was never the biggest fan of the games but i was a big fan of the show as a kid so this will be interesting. will update on which ones i recognise just because why not. edit: i recognise some of the first ones. dang i didnt realise i watched the first ones but my memories are sorta coming back just thinking about it. well that was cool bringing some old memories back.
@@ReactZones ah well thats okay. I have very little memory of me watching pokemon but I just remember watching with the team rockets cat and then them getting tha blue blob and a bit more after that but thats where I either stopped watching or my memories stopped. I watched a good amount of the movie though.
So Tracey (not Terry) was only there for the Orange Islands League season (which is still part of Gen 1). He leaves and Brock joins back up with Ash and Misty and the three are together in Johto (as you can see in the Johto openings). Brock is with Ash from then on to the end of Gen 4 with the girl traveling companion switching from Misty at the end of Johto to May in Gen 3 and to Dawn in Gen 4. Then Brock and Dawn leave and Ash continues getting new companions every new region after.
Yes! The Pokémon movie was so awesome. And I loved the series through the Orange Islands, but then I lost interest. I still watch the old old episodes sometimes though!
9:13 that's the Creation Trio. The one in the centre is the God of all Pokemons. His name is Arceus. The rest of them are: Dialga (right; creator of Time), Palkia (left; creator of Space) and Giratina (top; creator of Anti-Matter). All of them usually live in their own separate dimension
Thaaaat's right. Ty. I needed a memory jolt. XD I haven't started yet, but I will be reacting to Pokemon E1 today and it'll be out on the Patreon today, too.
I mean, not once did the themes carry over to a new season except for the last 2 of Black and White technically speaking, that's a whole thing, but when you said 'same theme for 2 Johto seasons' that's incorrect. Same for Black and White S1 and 2. I believe they're the same singers but different song.
Did I? I just followed all the videos sent to me which seem to be sent by region/gen. I know had to cut out one of the songs which I mentioned in the pinned tweet, but I thought that was from Johto. The one I couldn't include was "Born to be a Hero", iirc. EDIT: I just looked. That's the one I couldn't include. It's from Hoenn as you mentioned.
I'm with you, I think the intros are bangers until we get to diamond and pearl and the songs start getting kinda slow and not as exciting. There are some gems here and there though
There is no best or worst song every song has its own unique charm and tries to do its own thing they can coexist not everything needs to be a competition
Idk if you plan on actually reacting to the anime, but if you already have solid knowledge of the first two animes, you could probably jump straight into the hoenn saga. My personal favourite is the sinnoh anime (diamond and pearl) but imo, to fully enjoy it you have to watch the previous animes
You missed my favourite one, the opening for pokemon advanced I think it's an early hoenn region one lol and there's also a special ash tribute opening which is the actual last one.
Honestly you should check out the japanese openings. They're all great and they're longer because theme songs haven't been shortened in Japan like they have in the US
Personally I disown the first Sun and moon opening. The Japanese one is 100x better. The 2nd sun and moon opening is awesome tho. That R&B vibe, and then naming the legendaries to the beat

Mine too! But why! Why on why did they do that downgrade to Ash in Sun and Moon

Stand tall (XYZ intro) will always be one of my favourites
That's a good one, for sure.
It's absolutely nothing compared to Iku Z though
0:33-2:38 Kanto-Orange Islands (Red, Grene/Blue, and Yellow) saga
2:39-5:10 Johto (Gold, Silver, Cyrstal) saga
5:20-7:33 Hoenn (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen) saga
7:36-10:06 Sinnoh (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver) saga
10:24-12:01 Unova (Black, White, Black 2, White 2) saga
12:28-14:07 Kalos (X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire) saga

let's Go was within the Sword and Shield Anime arc not Sun and Moon.
And the Aim to Be a Pokèmon Master opening..basically for Ash's last 11 episodes they brought back another remix of the original theme using different clips from all the seasons.
@@saiyan4414 Actually, I looked it up and the Let's Go games are part of Generation VII, same as Sun and Moon.
@@DinoCam1795 true, however I'm pretty sure Chloe's eEvee was supposed to represent the let's go games, meaning The Journeys Anime.
Aim to be a Pokemon Master has a remix Song from the first intro for the last 12 episode with Ash.
The thing with Brock was that he left for the Orange Islands because he fell for Professor Ivy, and Tracey joined up in his place. He came back for Johto and stuck around through Sinnoh
True but I heard they were afraid of backlash in USA so they took him out.
So in my personal head canon Ash is 10 for the first few generations,
Then is 11 for Unova and Kalos
12 throughout Alola
And 13 at the beginning of journeys but has turned 14 at the end
Nah I still say he was cursed with eternal youth by Ho-Oh and has been 10 for over 20 years.

They're all a vibe, for sure.
His memory is a bit off but to be fair its been probably been over a decade lol😂
I did a head smack from orange islands till the end of Johto Journeys lol he was having that adult memory
black and white,XY,sun and moon and somehow diamond and pearl are best pokemon series,if anyone hates on them they are wrong
Diamond and pearl was good but I'd say it's the weakest out of them except maybe black and white but XY was goated
Finally someone liking the diamond and pearl one. So based!
@@lumieretheforgiven3804 i started at black and white and its my fav diamond and pearl is weakest out of this four but AG,OS,JN are worst

@@laurenmariehuttonEnjoy! Thanks for watching. 👀
The b&w anime was how I was introduced to both anime and Pokemon and I have so much nostalgia for it omg😭
Diamond and pearl and XY are such good series
the second intro is from the Orange islands that begin after the first season the third intro is the one from Jotho.
The second one was from the orange islands. It took place before johto really began.
Honestly, my favourite series was diamond and pearl. Still has this OG vibe (first 4 gens had it), story is peak, animation is like early 2000s (which i love), the best ash's rival, Brock is still there. Dawn was great and she had many great episodes. Team rocket had some really cool episodes.
It has to many episodes though, in total it gives about 180-190 I belive. For one region
And man... Chimchar arc. If you know, you know.
The second op is Orange Islands and the boy with them there is Tracy who sketches pokemon.
Then 3 and 4 is Johto
My favs are advanced challenge , galactic battles, all the xy and xyz , and sun and moon ultra adventures under the alolan moon
I definetley remember 1-4 inteos the best. Love your reactions to these. Never knew you were a Pokefan😊
Yep. Grew up with Gen 1 and Gen 2 somewhat. Played all the games off and on but only beat Gen 1.
Yeah the Pokémon anime was great, and I know your probably used to Misty and Brock, but I think you’ll like a lot of the other traveling companions as well.
brock only left for the orange islands
and then after sinnoh as well

Johto: Misty and Brock and Tracey(the dude you're mistakenly calling "Terry")
Hoenn/Advanced Generation: May and Brock and Max(the little guy who's May's brother)
Sinnoh/Diamond and Pearl: Dawn and Brock
Unova/Black and White/Best Wishes: Iris and Cilan
Kalos/XY: Serena and Clemont and Bonnie(the little girl who's Clemont's sister)
Alola/Sun and Moon: Mallow(green hair), Lillie(blonde hair), Lana(blue hair), Kiawe(dark skinned guy), and Sophocles(fat guy)
Journeys(no specific region since they travel all across the world in this one): Chloe and Gou
Cameos of certain leads in series outside their own:
Misty: Cameos in Advanced generation, Sun and Moon and Journeys
May: Cameos in Diamond and Pearl and Journeys (her cameo in Journeys is silent though because her Japanese voice actress suffered from an illness that impacted her voice acting and singing career back in 2012, and Japan is known for being very hesitant on recasting characters who's voice actors are unable to voice whether because they suffer from an illness that prevents them from performing or they are just outright dead, so if removing the character from the show altogether is an option or keeping them silent is an option they'd rather take that than to recast the character, this is out of respect for the original actor/actress)
Dawn: Cameos in Black and White/Best Wishes and Journeys
Iris: Cameos in Journeys
Serena: Cameos in Journeys
Bonnie: Cameos in Journeys
Lillie: Cameos in Journeys
Mallow: Cameos in Journeys
Lana: Cameos in Journeys
Brock: Cameos in Black and White, Sun and Moon and Journeys
Tracey: Cameos in Journeys(only a silent cameo because his Japanese VA is not the cheapest to hire, especially just for a cameo)
Max: Cameos in Journeys
Cilan: Cameos in XY and Journeys (but only as a silent cameo, same reason as Tracey)
Clemont: Cameos in Journeys
Kiawe: Cameos in Journeys
Sophocles: Cameos in Journeys
10:59 nope, it's actually different songs but the same singers. The video you watched just strung the openings together in a way that made them seem like they're using the same song.
There are full versions of all the openings up to the XY generation, you can take a listen if you want. The full versions of the Black and White series openings are my favorite alongside the Advanced generation openings 🔥💕
Yo I’m sad that it skipped the first opening of the advance series😭. That’s the one I grew up with
I wish I could have included it. Check pinned comment for why I couldn't. 🙏
You should definitely start watching Pokemon again i am with you and to upload as soon as possible because I can't wait
also, what happened to the FIRST OPENING OF ADVANCE?
is it cause of copyright?
Check the pinned comment. 🙏
I remember when I was in first grade, came back from school. My father was still making lunch, so watched some TV. Zapped through the channels and coincidentally one of them had Pokemon on. Was one of the Hoenn seasons and the first memory of watching it was May in some contest. So the Hoenn anime will always have a special place in my heart.
The episodes in Sinnoh are great, too and Diamond was my first game.
Might be nostalgia speaking but that has gotta be the best era. Ash actually was depicted as VERY competent, Brock always makes the episode better ofc, and Dawn was actually Ash's equal in a lot of ways while other female companions either looked up to him or treated him like a stupid child.
listen, the 2nd opening was for the Orange islands- PRIOR TO JOHTO REGION.
but GEN 2 mons did appear before it came out.
like said Donphan. as well as Misty's Togepi, and Ho-oh
Yep! I remember Donphan popping up in the movie first and Togepi in the episodes. Oh, the memories!
And marill
@@cooper3814 And Snubbull
Pokemon to be a master
Kalos are definitely my favourites! Gen 6 also brought my favourite Pokémon, Greninja.
I look forward to seeing Greninja battles.
@@ReactZonesthere is a certain reason people love ash’s greninja specifically. Love for when you find out.
The guy in the intro for the second one is Tracy or traci
Tracey
Yeah lol Terry he doesn’t even know about Dialga or Snivy
@@Mew_Stor who's terry
@@StephanieMaireFaith Dunno but this youtuber thought Tracey was Terry
🤣 🤣 🤣
I really hope you decide to watch Pokémon anime it was my childhood to seeing you watch it would be amazing I can’t wait for you to see xyz that was my favorite
Every time I hear ultimate journeys intro I get chills EVERYTIME
Spell Muk backwards, you’re a savage for that one 😂 mad respect!
I Can't Believe They Downgraded Ash Ketchum's Badass Look In Journeys
just gonna say before you have started reacting to the openings that i have memories of me watching the anime but im curious of which ones i will recognise. i was never the biggest fan of the games but i was a big fan of the show as a kid so this will be interesting. will update on which ones i recognise just because why not.
edit: i recognise some of the first ones. dang i didnt realise i watched the first ones but my memories are sorta coming back just thinking about it. well that was cool bringing some old memories back.
I look forward to seeing your following comments. Just know that one of the Hoenn OPS is missing due to copyright.
@@ReactZones ah well thats okay. I have very little memory of me watching pokemon but I just remember watching with the team rockets cat and then them getting tha blue blob and a bit more after that but thats where I either stopped watching or my memories stopped. I watched a good amount of the movie though.
YOH SHOULD REACT TO THE JAPANESE ONE!!!! ITS ALSO VEEEERY GOOOD!!!
You actually missed one final opening: Aim to be a Pokémon Master. That is the final opening featuring Ash and Pikachu.
I'll add it to the next OP reaction
We shall respect Ash's farewell!
I am pretty sure there is a new pokemon called Pokémon Horizons: The Series
I think you're right. There's always room on the JP Op Reaction video. ;)
It's sad you forgot the pokemon journey to become a pokemon master as it takes you down memory lane of all the seasons with the og theme
So Tracey (not Terry) was only there for the Orange Islands League season (which is still part of Gen 1). He leaves and Brock joins back up with Ash and Misty and the three are together in Johto (as you can see in the Johto openings). Brock is with Ash from then on to the end of Gen 4 with the girl traveling companion switching from Misty at the end of Johto to May in Gen 3 and to Dawn in Gen 4. Then Brock and Dawn leave and Ash continues getting new companions every new region after.
I’d be down to see a
Pokémon reaction series
It’s not the most common series for folks to react to anymore
I'll try my best to get it all done.
Yes! The Pokémon movie was so awesome. And I loved the series through the Orange Islands, but then I lost interest. I still watch the old old episodes sometimes though!
A Pokemon fan never truly loses interest. ;)
My favorite gen 1-2 starter is Blastoise
Good choice. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the Gen 1 starts. They're all amazing.
9:56 the one in the middle is the real god of Pokémon
You should listen to the Japanese version of the XYZ opening. Absolute banger
great video
I love Pokémon
9:13 that's the Creation Trio. The one in the centre is the God of all Pokemons. His name is Arceus. The rest of them are: Dialga (right; creator of Time), Palkia (left; creator of Space) and Giratina (top; creator of Anti-Matter). All of them usually live in their own separate dimension
The unova grass starter is snivy the grass snake pokemon. You actually do pokemon reaction videos as well, I'm surprised!
Thaaaat's right. Ty. I needed a memory jolt. XD I haven't started yet, but I will be reacting to Pokemon E1 today and it'll be out on the Patreon today, too.
@@ReactZones I'm telling ya dude, you're gonna love pokemon XY/XYZ
Will you react to the japanese ones as well?
I forgot if you said it in the vid or not
Note, if you want to know more about the legendary, you might have to watch a lot of movies
I'm down for it as long as my audience wants it. If not, I'll watch on my own.
The second one was the orange islands not the hothouse region,
I mean, not once did the themes carry over to a new season except for the last 2 of Black and White technically speaking, that's a whole thing, but when you said 'same theme for 2 Johto seasons' that's incorrect. Same for Black and White S1 and 2. I believe they're the same singers but different song.
Yep. I know. I think I mention that on patreon and forgot to mention it here. 😅
I think you missed the 1st opening of the hoenn theme songs. It's called pokemon advanced and comes before advanced challenge
Did I? I just followed all the videos sent to me which seem to be sent by region/gen. I know had to cut out one of the songs which I mentioned in the pinned tweet, but I thought that was from Johto. The one I couldn't include was "Born to be a Hero", iirc.
EDIT: I just looked. That's the one I couldn't include. It's from Hoenn as you mentioned.
pokemon world the second one was orange island league it was the one btw kanto and johto kind of like a spin off of kanto before johto
Ah that's right. I remember now. Ty.
Alola was goated idc what anyone else says and i grew up with gen 1
I'm with you, I think the intros are bangers until we get to diamond and pearl and the songs start getting kinda slow and not as exciting. There are some gems here and there though
Agreed. Some of the slower ones are gems.
There is no best or worst song every song has its own unique charm and tries to do its own thing they can coexist not everything needs to be a competition
Idk if you plan on actually reacting to the anime, but if you already have solid knowledge of the first two animes, you could probably jump straight into the hoenn saga.
My personal favourite is the sinnoh anime (diamond and pearl) but imo, to fully enjoy it you have to watch the previous animes
Seconding this. Should really start with Hoenn.
If you do start watching Pokémon, be warned, it’s over 1000 episodes long
You missed my favourite one, the opening for pokemon advanced I think it's an early hoenn region one lol and there's also a special ash tribute opening which is the actual last one.
Sometimes i hear that first opening on the radio
That's pretty cool. Where are you located?
@@ReactZones In The Netherlands
My Fave Generations:
1) Kanto
2) Johto
3) Hoenn
4) Kalos
5) Sinnoh
I see gen 1 and gen 2 at top. Let's go!
Factual
6:35
It's MEEEE! XD
No way!
10:26 did this man just call Snivy a Treecko? 😭😭😭
8:18 her name is dawn
You should react to ash rap cypher from cam steady. Itll give you a better feel of how ash grew
Honestly you should check out the japanese openings. They're all great and they're longer because theme songs haven't been shortened in Japan like they have in the US
Personally I disown the first Sun and moon opening. The Japanese one is 100x better. The 2nd sun and moon opening is awesome tho. That R&B vibe, and then naming the legendaries to the beat
Could you react also to the movie (extended) version of these opening, they expand them a lot
