The cards at 3:11 with the text "皮卡超" are not legit. That text means "Pikachao" or "Pika Super" in Chinese whereas the correct text for Pikachu in Japanese should be "ピカチュウ". It wouldn't make sense for a card to have the front in Japanese yet back text in Chinese anyway.
(Whoops, was supposed to type "比加超" instead of "皮卡超" but sadly UA-cam's commenting system is so broken it won't let me edit my previous comment. Sorry about that!)
Actually in Japan they usually do Mandarin Chinese or English when they want an item to look exotic while in the USA, products like clothing and toys will sometimes have Japanese text to look exotic. The cards could be official
That set of Chinese characters in the eggsecutor pencil is actually the Nintendo logo in Japanese kanji. I first saw that in the Japanese version of Kirby's Dreamlamd 3.
Those Japanese "story" cards DID exist as a legit product, but it looks like the ones you have are bootlegs of them. I have one I got from a Japanese kid that lived in my neighborhood (he's also where I got most of my regular Japanese Pokemon cards). I don't think the real ones were stickers (at least, mine isn't), and the one I have is made out of a hard plasticky material or is laminated somehow and just feels like a very nice product.
Lol I actually spent a portion of my brother's wedding reception coloring a zombie coloring book that included a zombie Pikachu. Sure it wasn't official but hey, so what? :P
An old friend of mine had some of those. They were not only translucent, but often came in weird, incorrect colors (like a purple Charizard). Weird stuff. She swore they were legit but, uh... no. I don't know why translucent plastic is such a common thing in bootleg toys. I'm guessing it's cheaper?
That official Charizard looks great. :O And I know it was also in the official Pikachu, but why did those Pikachus have white snouts? He's only like that in those figures and some artwork (afaik), not in the games or anime.
All I know is that he was born to a ridiculously rich family had an arranged marriage to a girl that looked like Jesse that he was terrified of due to hair domineering personality and he ran away from home to be a lowly criminal to avoid them, only returning when his parents faked their deaths to get him to come back.
Can confirm that the purple Charizard/Aerodactyl thing was around in Gen1-era, because I remember it and I didn't so much as look as a Pokemon toy since Gen1.
The two fingers means V for victory in Japan, not peace! Oops/10 Would simple mistake that doesn't mean anything again. That means Demonchu wins, though...
Those Cardass ones with the Kojiro and His parents were real. They did makes sticker Cardass like with yugioh. I actually also own that Lizardon Charizard coming out of the flames. Do a bootleg zones high eleves
Oh yeah, Carddass! I know them for their Mega Man (both Classic and X) cards that actually had original artwork, and even some original characters in the case of the X ones (each set/series also had a story, but they weren't exactly Shakespeare.) One of my favorites is probably the one of Terra and Sunstar where Terra looks really small.
So, quick question, why does the end of the video looks like it got cut off abruptly? I feel like the watch said something, but the video ends before he could finish.
Living in Quebec in the 90s, we had magazines from, Canada, the US and France. From reading the French magazines, cardass cards were very popular in France, especially the DBZ cards. We didn't get these cool cards in Quebec, though...of course...
I'm surprised you didn't say anything about the Pikachu watch's off color crouch, and made a joke about the Pikachu that either went el'naturel or caught something from a trashy Muk.
I love Cardass. Sometimes I like to whip out my deck and slam that Cardass - right on the table. Other times, I work my Cardass slowly and reveal things a little at a time. One time I let a friend play with my Cardass. It didn't go too well.
Plenty of Pokemon stuff lately on BZ. Is this in some quasi-celebration of Sun/Moon, or a funny coinky-dink? Even if it is or isn't, have you been playing it... one... them?
those Cardass you have there appear to be fake. they look very blurry, and don't appear to be from one bootleg set. also, Cardass are usually stickers. at least the old Sailor Moon sets along with the new ones are, last I checked.
When I was a kid, I bought some bizarre bootleg DBZ cards that looked like they were supposed to be for some form of card game but were very engrishy. I wish I still had them.
And i quote "Carddass (カードダス, Kādodasu) is a name given to Bandai's card vending machines and, thus, a generic term given to the cards sold by these machines."
ACTUALLY at 4:46 those Chinese characters are the kanji used to spell Nintendo (任天度) So that may have just been a cheapo product made in China for Nintendo back in the day.
Are you Canadian? The way you say the "ar" part in "cards" is pretty interesting, yet cool. I know Canadians kinda say A's like that from watching Trailer Park Boys.
'If you want to believe James is straight.' Good call....but does anyone remember the manga where James knocked up Jesse and they all lived happily ever after ditching Team Rocket? I do.....I have the book with it.
Baylor Collins Those stories were taken from the REALLY early Pokemon Adventures manga series by Toshihiro Ono. In the end, Ash and Gary go off to continue with their Pokemon adventures but before the stories end, James gives Ash's mother a letter telling her that he's okay. The intro to the short comic is a shot of Jesse and James, Jesse pimping a wedding ring, out of their TR garb and seemingly in a better life with a flying car and Meowthy chilling in the background. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT YES. IT IS AN OFFICIAL MANGA AND IT WAS PUBLISHED IN ENGLISH BY VIZ. THIS EXIST.
I'd wager that's supposed to be an Aerodactyl. The tail looks more like Aerodactyl's and it only has wings, no arms (while Dragonite had both arms and wings, like Charizard should).
I have to admit that that legit charizard figurine is pretty damn badass
Mimikyu is an official bootleg Pikachu.
Zachary Watson lol
Minikyu is a cheap cosplayer
Bouffalant is a bootleg Tauros.
5:03 Mimikyu is probably the closest thing you'll get if you want a zombie Pikachu so there
I find it funny there's a bootleg exeggutor pencil topper when there's a bunch of alolan exeggutor pencils in sun and moon.
Looks like the bootleggers were just about 20 years ahead of the game.
so THAT is why i got de ja vu XD
That figurine of Charizard emerging from the fire is *BADASS*! :D
For the Charizard coming out of the fire figure, i think you get that when you buy that Charizard EX box that came out back in March.
Red Yep. That's the figure that came with the box.
it looks really nice, but the color of the wings bother me a lot. they look burned up and charred and not really like his actual wings.
I think that bootleg Charizard was actually supposed to be a bootleg Aerodactyl.
The cards at 3:11 with the text "皮卡超" are not legit. That text means "Pikachao" or "Pika Super" in Chinese whereas the correct text for Pikachu in Japanese should be "ピカチュウ". It wouldn't make sense for a card to have the front in Japanese yet back text in Chinese anyway.
facinating
(Whoops, was supposed to type "比加超" instead of "皮卡超" but sadly UA-cam's commenting system is so broken it won't let me edit my previous comment. Sorry about that!)
Neko Michi wait,i think i know where it comes from
Hong Kong!
Actually in Japan they usually do Mandarin Chinese or English when they want an item to look exotic while in the USA, products like clothing and toys will sometimes have Japanese text to look exotic.
The cards could be official
those Pikachu molds are so common because they were made from a legit set of figures from the 90s, I remember having a few of them as a kid
Pencil-Butt Exeggutor is what happens when Alola Exeggutor's neck makes a huge mistake
You could say it has its head literally up his ass.
Or is it through its ass? idk.
that Dragonite is so doofy-looking I love him. I must have one in my life
I can imagine that Demonic Pikachu hanging out with that Satanic Ninja Turtle with the pentagram on his head.
And I see Doofy Muppet Dragonite hanging out with Baltard.
@@gwendolynstata3775 not even he would hang out with baltard. Baltard:but baltard! Me: shut up baltard! Baltard:*sad baltard noises*
Demon Bootleg Pikachu should team up with Demon Bootleg Michelangelo!
Unfortunately the evil Mikey broke long ago.
Samantha Port Ah, that's too bad. :(
that's demon pikachu, that's mimikyu
TEAM TURTLE LEADER LUCIFER WANTS TO FIGHT
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that Demonic Pikachu keychain got a Pokepasta about it.
3:46 My God... the Bootleggers called Alolan Exeggutor twenty years in advance!
As a kid I had a deck of Harry Potter "cards" that also were just stickers. Pretty sure the were bootleg.
Ooooh, now I want Phelous to review HP bootlegs someday!
There was a Famicom game, Harry's Legend. Basically a hack of TITENIC (of the JonTron fame ).
I remember that I used to get those sticker cards out of those 50 cent sticker machines you find in grocery stores.
5:23 You.....you mean you can get it wet?.....
...and it won't be completely useless?
For the Charizard coming out of the fire figure, i think you get that when you buy that Charizard EX box that came out back in March.
I know I'm super late, but after a quick Google search on the box set, the figure is from the box set
I expect people to complain because Phelous said "Aloha" instead of Alola.
Maybe he meant that as the Bootleg of that Region.
That set of Chinese characters in the eggsecutor pencil is actually the Nintendo logo in Japanese kanji. I first saw that in the Japanese version of Kirby's Dreamlamd 3.
Zomg, the purple Charizard is from Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.
I need this figurine, 'cause purple Zard is one of my mains.
6:24 Dude!
Alolan Charizard!
Poison Fire!
Those Japanese "story" cards DID exist as a legit product, but it looks like the ones you have are bootlegs of them. I have one I got from a Japanese kid that lived in my neighborhood (he's also where I got most of my regular Japanese Pokemon cards). I don't think the real ones were stickers (at least, mine isn't), and the one I have is made out of a hard plasticky material or is laminated somehow and just feels like a very nice product.
1:40 The colors aren't off. That's WaAsh.
Batzarro Don't you mean, "Wash?"
Lol I actually spent a portion of my brother's wedding reception coloring a zombie coloring book that included a zombie Pikachu. Sure it wasn't official but hey, so what? :P
I remember seeing a bootleg set being sold at a mall kiosk years ago, but the figures were oddly transparent.
An old friend of mine had some of those. They were not only translucent, but often came in weird, incorrect colors (like a purple Charizard). Weird stuff. She swore they were legit but, uh... no. I don't know why translucent plastic is such a common thing in bootleg toys. I'm guessing it's cheaper?
There was a specific one that I just remembered. It was a green pikachu
I had a transparent magnemite. Don’t know where it is right now
apparently those characters on the Eggsecutor pencil top say "Nintendo"
Um...was there more of the skit at the end? It look like it got cut off the video.
3:14 Song?
I used to have a bunch of those stickers - both types, but mostly the second. Wonder if I can find some more examples in my old toybox.
That official Charizard looks great. :O
And I know it was also in the official Pikachu, but why did those Pikachus have white snouts? He's only like that in those figures and some artwork (afaik), not in the games or anime.
2:25 Somehow, I get the feeling James has a very screwed-up personal life you don't see often on the show.
All I know is that he was born to a ridiculously rich family had an arranged marriage to a girl that looked like Jesse that he was terrified of due to hair domineering personality and he ran away from home to be a lowly criminal to avoid them, only returning when his parents faked their deaths to get him to come back.
Man I have so many bootleg pokemon toys laying around from The Ancient Times. I should dig them up again.
Actually, those Chinese characters spell out "Nintendo."
Phelan... that thing cleary is classic metroid Ridley xD
also...
next time pikachu...
NEXT TIIIIME
*meowth\
So I found some bootleg Pokémon keychains in a sketchy dollar store in New York, AND THEY MARK ON PAPER SO WELL THEY ARE CRAYONS I SWEAR
Wow, the timing. I just got home from getting Pokemon Moon. XD
Loved the battle at the end.
I remember those shiny weird sticker cards...and I totally recognize some of them but I was too young to remember where I got them..
most likely a vending machine, the kfc in my town still has em i think
Phelous can you review The live action G.I. Joe movies and Thundercats.
Can confirm that the purple Charizard/Aerodactyl thing was around in Gen1-era, because I remember it and I didn't so much as look as a Pokemon toy since Gen1.
Inferno Charizard looks awesome. I like the figure.
I had one of those pencils, but with Weepinbell. It was Troll 2 green and it sucked a thing that wasn't the pencil.
That Devil pikachu reminds me of Neo from Toriko XD
Huh I found one of those pikachu watches on the side of the street years ago I think I still have it in a drawer somewhere...
6:36 And the Poopachu returns. XD
9:15
That Dragonite looks like Ibkee from "Guardian's Crusade" to me.
“Hey kids! I’m Doofy the Dragonite!”
14:34 Don't slack off when Dr. Claw's around!
The two fingers means V for victory in Japan, not peace! Oops/10 Would simple mistake that doesn't mean anything again. That means Demonchu wins, though...
Those Cardass ones with the Kojiro and His parents were real. They did makes sticker Cardass like with yugioh. I actually also own that Lizardon Charizard coming out of the flames. Do a bootleg zones high eleves
i love how the ad before the video was a pokemon tcg ad
Why in the damn hell isn't there a Dingo Pokemon movie?
That Dragonite kept reminding me of an old childhood puppetshow dragon static.keptelenseg.hu/vp/cb92b7712ebe09293bc701e07d99e6f9.jpg
for Christmas all I want is phelous to do a review of the next mutation
Oh yeah, Carddass! I know them for their Mega Man (both Classic and X) cards that actually had original artwork, and even some original characters in the case of the X ones (each set/series also had a story, but they weren't exactly Shakespeare.) One of my favorites is probably the one of Terra and Sunstar where Terra looks really small.
2:35 LMFAO!!! Fucking CARDASS! Best. company. name. EVER.
So, quick question, why does the end of the video looks like it got cut off abruptly? I feel like the watch said something, but the video ends before he could finish.
Living in Quebec in the 90s, we had magazines from, Canada, the US and France. From reading the French magazines, cardass cards were very popular in France, especially the DBZ cards.
We didn't get these cool cards in Quebec, though...of course...
I couldn't stop laughing after demon Pikachu. it was just so freaky I kinda want it 😂😂😂
Yo Phelous, I just bought a bunch of Chinese bootleg DBZ figures. Would you be interested in them?
Crimson Trax Are they the Datong ones or the EVEN CHEAPER bootlegs ones that come in huge packs
cause those are hilarious
Probably. You have t pm him on facebook or something to get his mailing address.
Shit! I don't have a Facebook account... I guess I have to make one at some point.
Brother Malachai
Anyone knows what is the song that plays on the 3 minutes mark to 4 minutes?
I'm surprised you didn't say anything about the Pikachu watch's off color crouch, and made a joke about the Pikachu that either went el'naturel or caught something from a trashy Muk.
Does anyone know if Phelan ever sell any of these items?
I love Cardass. Sometimes I like to whip out my deck and slam that Cardass - right on the table. Other times, I work my Cardass slowly and reveal things a little at a time. One time I let a friend play with my Cardass. It didn't go too well.
Lol cardass much ?
those cards and flashfire pack are worth quite a bit more than the ebay lot - quite a good bonus if they're legit
Uh was it supposed to cut off after the ending where it shows the watch? it shows the watch and says These stupid S....and it cuts abruptly
No mention that lazy demon Pikachu had his hand remolded to more human-like fingers?
So hopefully there will be a gen 2 lot in the future?
What's that tune at 2:45?!
I got the 1990s Sailor Moon Bootleg sticker cards. They were sold in vending machines for a 1$ Canada.
I dunno, "Don't Fall Over" seems like it'd be a Normal move...
Plenty of Pokemon stuff lately on BZ. Is this in some quasi-celebration of Sun/Moon, or a funny coinky-dink? Even if it is or isn't, have you been playing it... one... them?
I like the purple aerodactyl his color reminds me of a regional variant or is that charizard
Does Phelous have a PO Box?
B&M Bargains - a British discount store - has some
KOs of Terminus Hexatron (MMCs version of Sixshot)
for £10 each!
More Pokemon bootleg...
MOAR!!!!
those Cardass you have there appear to be fake. they look very blurry, and don't appear to be from one bootleg set.
also, Cardass are usually stickers. at least the old Sailor Moon sets along with the new ones are, last I checked.
Ok so I know I’m late BUT I’m a big nerd so I know that in the original manga there were zombie Pokémon
That Exeggutor looks like it wants to be put out of it's misery
4:48 lol, that's not just "some chinese characters" , that's how you spell Nintendo in Japanese!
qwertzy121212 ok
When I was a kid, I bought some bizarre bootleg DBZ cards that looked like they were supposed to be for some form of card game but were very engrishy. I wish I still had them.
And i quote "Carddass (カードダス, Kādodasu) is a name given to Bandai's card vending machines and, thus, a generic term given to the cards sold by these machines."
That fucking Dragonite is going to haunt my dreams forever
Cuz "im having a good time, HAVING A GOOD TIME"
Honestly, unless it was advertised as a Charizard, that purple figurine looks more like an Aerodactyl...
I found some bootleg Pokémon toys at Pacific Mall
5:38 OH YEAH MR KRABS HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
11:00 It actually says Nintendo (任天堂) in kanji here.
I'm curios =) where do you get these from i love crazy bootlegs
0:30 I have the real one of that card, and it looks a bit different....
Mimikyu comes close to zombie pikachu.... It's a ghost that dresses up like Pikachu...
ACTUALLY at 4:46 those Chinese characters are the kanji used to spell Nintendo (任天度)
So that may have just been a cheapo product made in China for Nintendo back in the day.
I misread Cardass as...
Goodass...I'll walk my self out
That one normal colour charizard is actually legit
Are you Canadian? The way you say the "ar" part in "cards" is pretty interesting, yet cool. I know Canadians kinda say A's like that from watching Trailer Park Boys.
'If you want to believe James is straight.'

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT YES. IT IS AN OFFICIAL MANGA AND IT WAS PUBLISHED IN ENGLISH BY VIZ. THIS EXIST.
It's also borderline Ecchi (It's censored in the english version though).
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/The_Electric_Tale_of_Pikachu
*****
What's funny about that is they actually MISSED one panel in the censored version and you can see Jessie's original costume.
I'm taking the time to complain in the comments about the fact that I have nothing to actually complain about. Oy!
I'd wager that's supposed to be an Aerodactyl. The tail looks more like Aerodactyl's and it only has wings, no arms (while Dragonite had both arms and wings, like Charizard should).
Gods... I remember most of these when I was growing up.
7:54 anyone want to see a Dingo Pokémon episode now?
