      @@hypnotherapy69 I've never heard Snorlax referred to as green or a cat, but it's an amusingly apt description for one I'd not yet encountered. He's just a big hungry sleepy guy, much like many cats 😅Color for pokemon is bizarre. From the front he's mostly cream, the rest of him I always considered to be a navy blue, but on closer inspection it definitely has some green in it which explains your description... yet his color is listed as BLACK in the dex! 😂 (Snorlax is my fav from the puzzle too ^^)

And with the Pokemon company making hundreds more Pokemon, it's hard to keep up with some that have such ridiculous names or are simply ridiculous in my opinion (like an ice cream Pokemon). It makes me feel like the company just lost imagination. 😿 But kudo's to Karen for finishing this monster of a puzzle. 😸💞

  • @waterfoul717
    @waterfoul717 4 місяці тому +106

    a very lovely detail in this puzzle that someone not into pokemon may have missed is that they're not just divided by color, but rather by type. each pokemon have a type attached to them, and those types are water, fire, grass, electric, psychic, normal, and ground. there's actually more types, like dragon, metal, and dark, but those aren't included in this puzzle. a pokemon's type means it can do different things--notice that the psychic pokemon have one holding a hypnosis charm, and others holding spoons (to bend with his mind, see). the bulbasaur you were looking for is a grass type, so he's actually in the bottom left--he's got a bulb on his back, since he's kind of a plant. each pokemon evolve into bigger versions of themselves, so when you got tripped up on which was bulbasaur, you were close! they're all the same creature evolved into bigger types. the starter ones everyone's usually talking about that are featured on this box are bulbasaur (the tiny little plant turtle), ivysaur (the turtle with a pink flower that hasn't yet bloomed), and venusaur (the big turtle with a flower). then there's the fire types, charmander (the orange lizard with fire on his tail), charmeleon (the red lizard with fire on his tail), and charizard (the big dragon with blue wings and.. you guessed it, fire on his tail). and finally, the water ones, squirtle (the blue turtle with a curled tail), wartortle (the blue turtle with wings on his head), and blastoise (the big turtle with giant cannons coming out of his shell). starters are the pokemon you can pick from to begin your journey in the first video game. squirtle is my favorite of the three starters, but my all time favorite pokemon is psyduck! he's the little duck in the water section holding his head :)
    sorry this is a lot of information! i just really like pokemon and only recently got into it a couple years ago, so from someone who also had to learn this all from scratch to another, don't worry about it too hard! they sure are just funny little animals. great job with the puzzle! and i bet your favorite is kirby ;)

    There's something extremely endearing hearing you trying to work out which of the Squirtle line is actually a Bulbasaur (in disguise perhaps?) and I thoroughly enjoyed your descriptions of and comments on the mons' designs.
    Also, thank you for getting me into puzzling!

      I'm also a Pokémon fan and I've done this puzzle. :) I was in the same situation as you in that I had done the 1000 challenge one, but had never ventured into bigger puzzles before. It was really fun and not that difficult for me. It really helps when you can look at a piece and say "this is Charizard's color and not Charmander colored" instead of "this whole section is just the same 2 colors" :D I wish you lots of fun with the puzzle, random internet stranger

    I just took a 5-hour graduate school comprehensive exam today, so I was so excited that I would get to watch this afterwards as my reward!
    This was exactly what I was hoping for when you did this puzzle. 😂 I have adored Pokemon for over 20 years now, and it was so refreshing to see your reactions to all the Pokemon in the puzzle, unaffected by any prior conceptions. Calling Dugtrio potatoes made me laugh so hard (they're, like, moles lol).
    Maybe you can find a *Kirby* puzzle to do at some point, I bet there are some really cute ones out there!!
    My favorite pokemon is Lapras (like my username). They're in the first generation of Pokemon, but there isn't one on this puzzle. A Lapras is like a Nessie, with a turtle shell. They're super kind, can understand human speech, and will ferry people on their backs over the water. They were hunted almost to extinction, but as of a few games ago, they are now thriving thanks to preservation efforts!

    Jigglypuff and Kirby do look like they could be related, at least. The “mushroom head” is a crab-like creature called Paras and I love him. The potatoes are actually thick worm-like Pokemon that dig really fast, a single one is Diglett and the evolution that looks like three Diglett stuck together is Dugtrio.

    1:21 You got Charizard right!
    1:33 The three round blue ones all look similar because they belong to the same ‘evolution line’ which means that you start with one Pokémon and it evolves into the next after some time and training to a certain level in life.
    The top round blue one is Squirtle, the bottom right one is Wartortle and the bottom left one is Blastoise.
    When you look at them in order of Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise, you might notice what we mean by a Pokémon ‘evolving’.
    17:34 The yarn monster one is Tangela.
    17:38 The seal one is literally just Seal. Pokémon likes to do that.
    17:53 The origami monster one is Porygon.
    18:28 The serious eyebrow one is Electrode.
    19:05 The Totoro looking one is Snorlax.
    19:19 The one you’re working on here is Bulbasaur!
    23:39 In order of to who you pointed at these are Drowzee, hypno, Sandslash, Victreebel, Venusaur (I believe, I couldn’t really see who you pointed at clearly), and Pidgeot.
    26:59 The big one is Onyx.
    And the one next to it is Rhydon.
    36:04 The mushroom head one is Paras.
    36:10 The potatoes one is Dugtrio.
    36:16 Your least favourite is Mr. Mime.

    I grew up watching the anime/playing the games Karen, I can tell you a lot about the Pokemon themselves. The ones in this puzzle are the first generation of Pokemon from Kanto (which is the region in the first anime/games). The dragon is indeed Charizard (although in the games he's a Fire/Flying type), the pink ball you thought was a Mario Kart character is Jigglypuff and she's in the Nintendo Smash games. The blue turtle Pokemon are Squirtle (smaller form), Wartorle (second form) and Blastoise (big turtle with the cannons on it's back) Bulbasaur is the small toad looking Pokemon with the bulb on its back. Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur are known as the 1st generation starter Pokemon that you start out with in Pokemon Red, Blue and Green. The seal is named Dewgong lol, the orgima monster is Porygon and the tangled guy is Tangela. Eyebrow guy is Electrode. One you also thought looked like Totoro is Snorlax.

    Despite not being a lead character in the Pokémon franchise, game director Masahiro Sakurai selected it to appear due to its similarities to Kirby, which allowed the staff to reuse the model and many animations as a base for Jigglypuff.
