    A very well put together video. I have a lot of memories for Gen 1 in particular because there is something really unique about it to me that no Pokemon game later was able to recreate. Seeing how it was developed was really fun. I'm looking forward to more videos like this!

    Man gen 1-6 were the best gens! So much nostalgia within them! I remember having Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Gold, and Pokémon Yellow on my 3DS and putting over 1000 collective hours into the three! I also had Pokémon Ruby and Firered on my GBA but sadly I didn’t play that too much. What’s crazy is that it’s already been over EIGHT YEARS since ORAS was released! Time flies!

    Being a Pokémon fan since the first day I was introduced to it - which has to be somewhen in 1998 or 1999, when I was still in Kindergarten - I am still amazed about learning new details regarding the development and the coming-to-be of Pokémon. I love this series with all my heart and to this day I actually never played any video games besides Pokémon - at least not with the same intensity or enthusiasm. Thanks for those great new info!
    Love this channel.

    In Germany it came out in 1999. I was 5 years old and I remembered I got Pokémon Rot (Red) and my brother Pokémon Blau (Blue). I couldn't read because I went to school one year later in 2000. My brother told me years later he was jealous because when I could play that game for real now since I learned how to read I was catching many Pokémon on my way and trained them well. Of course I still sucked at first with my Charmander (in German Glumanda) but I trained my Caterpie (Raupy) into a Butterfree (Smettbo) and trained my team very often while my brother just put out his Squirtle (Schiggy) and had huge problems later since he didn't trained his team well enough. I became the Pokémon nerd around my circle since that day

      hahahaha überragend. Ich erinnere mich noch genau daran, wie die anderen Kinder im Kindergarten teilweise schon nen Gameboy hatten und Pokémon gespielt haben. Bin selbst Baujahr 1993, für mich war vor allem der Anime damals unfassbar prägend. Mein erstes Spiel habe ich 2001 zum achten Geburtstag bekommen. Goldene Edition und die Pikachu Special Version des Gameboy Color. Bis heute ist Pokémon einfach Liebe. Tatsächlich hab ich auch nie großartig wasanderes gezockt. Ja, zwischendruch mal ein Teil von Zelda oder Mario, aber so wirklich gezockt und Zeit invenstiert habe ich immer nur in Pokémon. Ich glaube, es gibt wenige Dinge, dich mich seit so früher Kindheit ernsthaft prägen und begleiten. Spontan fällt mir ansonsten nur Dragon Ball ein

    It's always fun learning about this kind of stuff when you see a big company and see how often that company almost didn't exist.
    What gets me is that Atsuko Nishida was really such a near miss alone.
    Even now women struggle to get into the game development sphere.
    Yet by hiring her Pokemon got basically every single one of its Gen 1 mascots.
    She designed Bulbasaur, the ENTIRE original Charmander line (and Mega Charizard X), as well as Squirtle and Wartortle.
    She of course designed Pikachu.
    While it was technically Motofumi Fujiwara who gets credit for Eevee, Flareon, and Jolteon. She designed Vaporeon, Umbreon, Espeon, Glaceon, Leafeon, and Sylveon.
    She also designed Dratini and Dragonair.

    I just finished watching a video about the history of Final Fantasy and the Dragon Quest games and so this video popped up in recommended (never seen your channel before)
    I definitely think a follow up video to this would be awesome. How much is known about getting this game localised outside Japan? Was anyone worried? Rpgs outside of Japan was not always a good return in investment and normally tanked. Dragon quest been the best example
    And then there’s the question of getting the game localised outside of America, since a lot of games back then never made it to Europe. For example, We never got Chrono Cross in Australia.

    I heard that capsule monsters was already taken by Digimon.
    We do know Clefairy was considered for the mascot before Pikachu. And Blastoise and Squirtle weren’t in the same evolution line originally.
    Why are a couple of the Pokémon on the drawings blurred?
    The whips some trainers have are left over from an idea of having the trainers fight after the Pokémon fainted
