And Squirtle is now a god
Chimchar dying was supposed to be emotional scene but I just busted out laughing when he said "you can tell he's dead because he has x's over his eyes".
same
It didn’t felt very emotional since he was being a dickhead for the whole time but it left me shocked and didn’t know how to react
It's emotional for Squirtle, but not for us, that's why there's a gag/punchline.
seeing chimchar die made me not really care cuz he does not show empathy like charmander.
That's why I don't think he's dead. That wouldn't be pointed out if it was truly serious.
Squirtle not knowing Turtwig's name is me after knowing someone for years yet only calling them 'dude' or 'bro'
Lol same
... Damn Bulbasaur
Same I only know like 3 of my coworkers names and I've worked with most of em for 5 years now lol
Same, i do not do well with names. People i have known for over 10 years and not even sure what their name begins with.
@Norman Shi Hao Lee hi
It actually took 10 years to make the 10th episode
17:54 “You can tell because there are Xs where its eyes should be” 😭
Oh my God, they actually killed off who is debatably the main character.
IS THIS A JOJO REFRANCE!!!!!!
That's how they make revenge good in animes
Charmander would’ve been so op
Rip
l u g i a
10:09 Squirtle associating Chimchar with Charmander and fully believing he's the same way out of grief hurts me every time 😭
Me too…
@シMaluzinha_luluシJesus loves you ❤
@Hxkknaw21thank you :)
@Hxkknaw21 God bless
Huge props to Mewtwo for keeping MissingNo at bay for over 10 years, preventing it from absorbing any other Pokémon.
Right? I don't think many other people even SAW Mewtwo fighting. This is like the only comment I've seen mentioning him
I've been looking for a while to see if anyone else noticed lmao
That was in a flashback though, so....Unless there was more than the one scene
Damn true
They must be pretty fed up with doing so by now, but I admire their efforts.
episode 11 after four years
You were so right.
True, so much time but its out
Ya fr the teaser came out I'm so exited for episode 11
Wait,if episode 10 released 3 years after episode 9 and episode 11 is in 2025(4 years after episode 10)that means episode 12 will release atlease 5 YEARS after episode 11 that means episode 12 will release around 2030-2031
FU-
Can't wait for ep 12 in another 4 or 7 years
Squirtles in gen 4 now, he's gonna get dialga to go back in time and save charmander
Also since Turtwig said Squirtle was level 98 and pokemon need to level up to evolve when he evolved into wartortle he leveled up to level 99 so Squirtle/Wartortle will most likely be a level 100 blastoise in one of the next episodes.
that actually sounds legit
This actually makes sense I want this to come true
@vylegrym ikr. Its really a great theory I could see happening
69 likes lol
"IM A BIRD, TWEET TWEET"
"BIRD SOUNDS BIRD SOUNDS COME OUT OF ME, THEY DO"
"I AM SO MUCH OF A BIRD"
R.I.P. Fearow, he was a true bird up until the end
69th Like
Thought he was a fish...
@AcemanXD 🔫😀
@AcemanXD very easy mistake
I thought we was a human 😡
everybody was like: "missigno will probably appear in the next episode!"
missigno appearing for 1 second in the whole video: "My (appearence) was, greatly exagerated"
Well Squirtle is off to fight a God, and I imagine Arceus probably has some affair with the whole Missingno thing going on sooooooo...
Where?
Time frame pls
@Cdoggy_27 During 2nd flash back, about 12:50, it is very fast... blink and you miss it
Mewtwo vs missingno?
21:55 “Bulbasaur, have I said that before?”
"I don't know, you say alot."
same music too hah
This series started as "Cute and kind of edgy adventures of the Kanto Starters" and now we are dealing with a war veteran going to "talk" directly to the gods, most likely in order to travel back in time and stop this mayhem
I think
I mean... Dialga is a thing so...
yeah and too be fair as shown in every pokemon game ever normal pokemon can literally beat gods in the pokemon world so squirtle fighting arcues, dialga, hoppa, geriti- man there a lot of god level beings in pokemon....
I feel like he’s gonna go back and either A, stop charmander from dying or B prevent himself from being caught
@jaydemlowe can also stop chimchar from dying
"The mercy of the gods is wasted on the disobedient."
That was a good line.
Damn it played exactly i saw ur comment
Literally every holy than thou antagonists.
That's actually a really cool line now that I read it
I'm gonna use that as a meme.
I can't wait to see where this goes five days from now.
omg fr!!
Lowkey not worth 4 years
@casternaster7184it was
@casternaster7184 personally, the only part that i dont think is worth 4 years is that we dont get to see more of wartortle, the scenes where he manifests himself to save charmander were cool, but i lowk need to see more of that
@qen_ravioli It's just the fact that I feel like waiting 4 years for a 30 minute video that supplied really no additional information to the story is not worth it. I don't know, it felt weird and unserious, as we're heading to the literal climax this felt extremely underwhelming but maybe im getting to deep into it.
OH MY GOD...
THIS IS FOUR YEARS OLD ALREADY?
Same didn’t know
sad how time flies
Man I still remember randomly finding these back in 2017
Why are so many people joining the military all of a sudden????
(i am not talking from just this comment section but i know people)
@Theranker-m1i cuz in reality its the easiest way to save money
To think this all started because Red picked Squirtle over Charmander.
To think that the first episode with no plot would lead to this.
Yeah..
Yeah but I think squrtle will head to the gods and asked them to go back in time to save charmander and bulbasaur and head to cerulean cave to meet mewtwo
To be fair, Red was right.
@NateOfTheFossils Hhmmm... how convenient
"You're just using me to relive your stupid childhood"
Excuse me, CHILDHOOD??? They were CHILDREN??? God, that makes this whole story like 100 times darker.
What did you expect as starter pokemon
So if.. Gardevoir exists... And they're like level 30.. And trainers are 10... Wouldn't that technically mean that trainers wanna
I'll shut up
@SoderCant yes please shut up
Oh my Arceus, that does make everything darker! WTF?
The worst part is that alot of stuff makes sense, like the change in tone.
They were kids, they were naïve and didn't see some of the stuff that happened as a big deal.
Squirtle is now either an adult or in his very late teens. He has the maturity to understand just how fucked up the stuff he went through as a kid was.
While I don't think it was 100% intentional, it does make the series pretty realistic when it comes to childhood trauma (at least my experience with it)
It also makes sense why he would take care of chimchar and turtwig. They are kids. Kids who remind him of his childhood friends. He wants to relive his childhood, but not just that, he wants to relive it as the role of a guardian. As a way to protect those two in ways he couldn't protect charmander and bulbassaur. He is someone desperate for closure and the chance to make up for everything he did and was unable to do for them
Don’t forget, squirtle was the one who was picked by the trainer in episode 1. Between the trainer, then charmander, then squirtle, he never had any opportunity to learn how to be independent. It’s such an incredible continuity over the whole series that I refuse to believe this wasn’t Ship’s plan from the very start.
"Between the trainer (Red), then Charmander, then Squirtle, he..."
I think you meant Caterpie instead of that Squirtle.
ruclips.net/video/GHIMASbscXA/video.html
6:30 pecking noises
Imagine if anakin skywalker had such an arc. From tattoine slave, to vessel of the Jedi, to tool of the empire. Imagine if he had the time to truly be free.
I agree with you that he didn't have an opportunity to be independent, but in the episode he said he never made choices of his own, which isn't true because after the episode where Charmander learns empathy a lot of the things they do are decided as a team, because Charmander realizes that he can't force Squirtle to do stuff, one that Charmander is the leader of yes, but a team nonetheless
Love the foreshadowing to this episode from episode 9 when the Caterpie goes on a random tangent about not being able to actually choose
The tree guys were killing me, so supportive lol
Snovers
@gengargamer5657 Tree guys*
So funny XD
@xtruechaos Snovers
@gengargamer5657 tree guys*
I recognized *immediately* that Squirtle was projecting his feelings about Charmander onto Chimchar, all because he referred to Chimchar as "Char", as in *Char*mander. Very clever!
Obviously
I have a lot of questions
1.How did he reach the Sinnoh Region
2.How did he met the 2 other native starters
3.What ever actually happened to Bulbasaur
@Meowmeowwwwwwww-c3f Squirtle says that Bulbasaur stayed in the cave in the area that was cut off where he was eating berries getting a happy ending
@jeneviekey2099 well ye it had been 10 years he prob went to a lot of other regions
@jeneviekey2099 and what would become of Sandslash after that Caterpie fiasco? And Piplup? Did Squirtle break the other two from the lab?
22:58 that scene probably was the reason why this took 2 years to come out
Yeah, animation isn’t easy after all. And it was hilarious, that cut off and that body slam that rekted him
this came out when I was in freshman year, I'm in the Marine Corps already 😿
Congrats
I feel the same way
Same thing for me except i'm in the Army
5-6 months before I leave too for the marines
@JayRReal same Army
I like how caterpie went from the villain who’s plans never work but never gives up to a literal evil dictator
Adolf
@CanCanCat-vc3ymlmao and nice pfp
Caterpie is now my least favorite pokimon
This
Ngl looking back his whole story is oddly similar to Hitlers@CanCanCat-vc3ym
a fun little Easter Egg:
if you watch this with subtitles, whenever the Snovers talk about “Snow in the way” the S is capitalized, meaning that they were always talking about someone and not the snow itself. When Squirtle talks about snow, the S is lowercase. That was pretty clever.
Thats full on subtitle foreshadowing. soo cool
there'snow way to tell without the subs! surprised they didn't throw that pun in just once, but good twist nonetheless
Damn this series is smart!
Oh wait...I forgot this series does interesting stuff with closed captions!
ooooooooo
"You're just using us to relive your stupid childhood"
Oh my god. Squirtle's a boomer now.
Ye that right
This likely takes years upon years after charmanders death since squirtle is level 98 and has been training alot
@litonups 10 years later to be specific
@well3669 wouldn't it be 2 years? Since right at the beginning it shows that moment when our dear friend. Charmander. Got slayed. So the war probably was in between those 2 years or at least a year.
@watersheep5535 go to 0:20 and read what’s written on the screen
Bro this was like 4 years ago anyone in 2026
No
Yes
Yes
Yep
21:39 The way he said "we" instead of "you" shows that he acknowledges that he made mistakes by not taking responsibility for what happened in the past and letting everything go too far, but switching to "you" also means that he wants Abomasnow to see that he is responsible also for following his Gods, similar to how Squirtle thought he had to follow whoever orders him around.
i think you'r overthinking it
@lilliekateminor7606No that is 100% exactly what they meant.
Nostalgia
Cheers shakespeare
@pluxyio Are you an elementary school dropout or what
Man, this series has come a long way from dumb shenanigans in Viridian Forest.
Also, that Abomasnow's design could pass for a Gigantamax.
Obamasnow
Weebness level: 33
Barack aboma
That’s what I was thinking of!
@ahmiehabibi brother?
@bigyoshi5170 its the brothers epic we have a family reunion
squirtle's story is actually really sad. how he completely obeyed the caterpie leader, how his only friends died (technically only charmander died but still), and how he kept clinging into the past is just so sad
In the last flashback, Caterpie shogun said that they lost everyone, implying that Bulbasaur is dead
In the second flashback, Leonard said that the birds would burn the forest to the ground before they would lose (Note: this is not the first times pigeons and sparrows have been used to set civilizations on fire)
Going back to the last flashback, it is very obvious that Viridian Forest is wiped clean off the map
…
Bulbasaur has a severe allergic reaction to fire
@aerohydreigon1101 true but squirtle said that bulbasaur had the happiest ending out of the starter gang. What if bulbasaur didn't die?
@tomatosoup1589 he didnt die squirtle said he left
Charmander died, and he left Bulbasaur behind
I'm calling it ahead of time Mewtwo or another Legendary pokemon like palkia or dialga will be able the top and they might reverse time to give squirtle another chance to save charmander. Because remember Mewtwo told Charmander to meet him at Cerulean cave and they never went so that's definitely gonna be brought up again.
Squirtle: I think he got the happiest ending out from all of us
Seeing Charmander’s dismembered head on Caterpie is heartbreaking. He died valiantly, trying to get his friends back
He tried to save his friends and still got betrayed :c
Nah he literally committed genocide. Still Caterpie just continued the cycle of violence despite killing the monster that was Charmander
@gemain609 "I'm gonna kill every last Caterpie"
*Ends up dying*
Fanbase: Oh no, my precious Charmander what happened to you was so cruel!
Like bro he was literally a genocider. Nobody would be crying for hitler if someone made a story of him dying.
@johnsharle9011 I mean he did it to get Squirtle back and ultimately got betrayed by Squirtle sooo
I Wish he returns But well They gotta Make some sense if they would let him be alive
Squirtle's first line in the series:
"That's a lie, he only knows Scratch"
Like a boss
@O_O don't you mean Arceus?
Fun fact:shippidge has 32 vids on his channel
@Random Internet Guy fun fact: the next ep will be out in 2 years
@O_O mew is the ancestor to all Pokémon. But mew doesn’t control time and space and didnt create the beings that created time and space
Episode 1: Hehe, funny Starters are self conscious against their trainers
Episode 10: Squirtle is depressed, Charmander’s head got cut off, and Bulbasaur is a masochist
Never thought I'd see the day.
Bulbasaur was likely there for the berries, but sure
"I don't know why I was laughing so much at the beginning. That story was just a bunch of death and then a really sad ending." -Turtwig
shit got real fast
I want Charmander back
1:18 bro's the discord mod
The second he called Chimchar "Char", I knew what was up.
Did NOT expect him to be so high level though.
He probably kill THOUSANDS of Pokémon to me he seemed like he was the strongest of the catarpie army
Well it was 10 years. In the games we can get a level 100 in a few days. Even in real time for their world the level makes sense.
Calling Turtwig Bulbasaur confirmed this. Neat set up for a joke.
@jacobpaulsen75393 years late, but agreed. The game logic and pokémon logic are pretty different. Since 100 is the highest level you can achieve it probably DOES take years in real time
"You can tell because there are X's where his eyes should be" had me dead
It had chimchar dead too
@nameman9997 LMAOOOO
Are there X's where your eyes should be?
@AutumnWoodham No, but there's X's where this ASCII face's eyes should be
X-X
I think it’s hilarious that the Bidoofs sound like Larry the Cucumber
I love how the caterpie saw charmander as an uncontrollable tyrant while the leader became what he wanted to destroyed
Yes
To be destroyed*
But yeah I agree. It makes the story better.
Ironic isn't it?
That Charmander was pure evil
Dude 3 years is crazy
yes
Now it’s been 4 years and 2 months 😭
"grandpa, so how did the pokegod war start?"
"it all started with red who chose squirtle over charmander"
@Zokah Qro in my channel?
What once to me was merely a "joke" or "parody", has now become one the most well-written stories I've ever paid witness to. Thank you for everything Shippidge and everyone else involved in making Starter Squad! :)
I make skits if y'all have a minute to spare. Lmk what I can improve on.
Tru
@neilxdavis5359 shut up self promoter
@PallidWhaleHater who's gonna make me? Don't act tough over the internet bruh.
@PallidWhaleHater he’s gotta grow somehow man.
Literally any Pokémon: We live in a society
Chim Char: And I took that personally
FORESHADOWING
6:57 "Everything I've ever done- EVERYTHING! It was always for- it was... no... no."
21:48
Squirtle finishes up the statement he made earlier.
"Everything I've ever done was for someone else. But you can't escape the wrong decision by putting it on others. If I'm gonna make bad choices, they're gonna be my own!"
i think a cool detail going over people's heads is that squirtle is calling him char instead of chimchar due to his imagining of turtwig and chimchar being the og squad.
Yea I noticed that too lol
Haha dude I can't tell if you're being satirical but chances you're not then don't flatter yourself because that's kinda the whole plot - you're not "observant"
@yoblazes Idk who you are or why you feel the need to spread negativity for no reason, but it’s not something that was made insanely obvious cuz it very easily could’ve just been seen as a nickname to some. I never said I was observant, I just didn’t see many people talking about it so I naturally assumed some people didn’t realize or think about it
@hagester3754 dude you literally said "a cool detail going over people's heads" - which, maybe you don't realize, means you've singled yourself as the presumptuous guy smarter than most because [insert plot device here].....it's just an arrogant thing to assume. I'm not being negative - I'm being reactive.
@hagester3754 you could've just said "Calling chimchar, "char" was a pretty awesome homage to charmander"....but no, you decided that you had to point yourself out like that and be obnoxious.
“I think Bulbasaur got the happiest ending out of all of us”
*Sees the absolute destruction that went down in Kanto*
What happened to Bulbasaur?!
He agreed to become their food
@Convoy143 but now all the Caterpie are gone… so where’s Bulbasaur?
@rice2meatu he's doing your mom lmao
@theonlybrridge the best ending. All joking aside, he was most likely underground when all that war crap went down so hopefully he's still alive and just wandering around looking for a good place to eat berries and wear messed up mutilated corpses for hats.
To those who didnt realise charmander was turned into a hat for the catepie
Squirtle: *evolves*
Fans: "My lord, isn't this illegal?"
Shippiddge: "I will make it legal."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes
He is the senate
he's the kakashi now of the new generation, no more a starter... didn't last long tho (for now)
Some random Gastly in the distance:
(flips Shippiddge off)
9:09 i think we all hoped that he thought that squrtle was talking about charmander and not chimchar
I like the subtle details on Squirtle. His desaturated skin, his battle scars on his shell, the wrinkles under his eyes. He's been through so much...
Ayudó a matar a Charmander
That's what I noticed too. U can see that life is taking a toll on him
I think there’s also an everstone around his neck, having a reason for him not evolving
Also if you turn on the captions you'd noticed that when they mention Snow way the word "Snow" is always with a capital S.
Also he's suffering from survivor's guilt and the fact that he made the wrong choice.
I miss Turtwig already, the most level-headed and sane Pokémon shown in the series.
He’s pretty well adjusted for being a pre-volve
@numatruehome100 dont forget talking tree guy
True he might be the only sane person
@numatruehome100 Yeah they were pretty supportive, except the first one with the train of thought about who is considered a "friend", it was kinda nonsense, even Turtwig has to question his logic.
WHY'D THEY KILL MY BABY BOY CHARMANDER and wheres bulbasaur I'm saying this when I started seeing my least favorite pokemon to a badass beating spearrow
My god.. to think that this series first began in 2014, and it has already been 10 years
To put it into perspective, I was in PRIMARY SCHOOL (UK) when this started.. and now I have left college this year and currently in a full-time employment. WOW
WOW
Wow 😂😂😂😂
Same I was in year 1 I guess now I've finished my GCSEs
I first saw the series (episodes 1-9) when I was in like 5th grade and now I’m in high school still waiting for episodes 11-12 to be released.
@JVHooperit's never coming 😞
Turtwig saying "I don't know why i was laughing at first, that story was just a bunch of death and then a very sad ending" is basically just this entire series up to epsiode 9
I love how everyone expected Charmander to live but then in the middle of the video Squirtle is like “Yeah Charmander died”
I don’t believe he died he must have survived or sum
@adamation_0851 didn’t you see his head on the caterpie in the flashbacks
@hottopicaddict1647 what if mewtwo brought them both back
@fleetway1262 time-traveling, wish granting and reviving aren't mewtwo's powers... May be missingno.
I knew he was dead because a patron donor told me...
Squirtle's backstory was nothing like we'd seen in the series, and yet was so well written! Being forced to Proceed as that Caterpie saw fit, even regarding evolution[though that may also have to do with not being like Charmander]... everything that happened after was incredibly well written.
Caterpie didn't force it to not evolve
Wow charmander is really dead
@iamspeedsickiamthemostwant1413 I think charmander will get revive
@dbilly121 Not necessarily, but Squirtle didn't evolve after the Fearow fight because of Caterpie's influence. 6:50
He wasn't forced by Caterpie to do anything. 21:36 he just let it happend, because he didn't care after Charmander died.
I like how this episode gives greater meaning to the personality quirks of Charmander and Squirtle throughout the series, Charmander represented choice and free will in the series and even states to Catterpie that trainers and pokemon should stand next to each other, whereas Squirtle has represented freedom of consequence such as wanting to follow some sort of code of battle because he feels like he just should even when his friends are being beaten up and proven even further here where we see his willingness to listen to Catterpie's messed up orders, him snapping at the end was him finally accepting the consequences of his actions, it's why he gets mad at Snow for trying to hoist Chimchar's death on the gods.
& Bulbasaur is just…..Bulbasaur.
@jackjensensplaythroughsrev49 Nah Bulbasaur is more than just Bulbasaur, he's also part of a balanced breakfast.
@snowpegasi Not only is he part of a complete breakfast, but also he can float
@jackjensensplaythroughsrev49 And not only that he will become Charmander one day
DEAD
ive gone between 3 different jobs and graduated college since the last episode release now!
same! lol
@weslee2688Jesus loves you ❤
Calling it now: the “gods of space and time” are going to send Wartortle back in time to undo his mistake. Because this episode made all those deaths suddenly feel really heavy.
I hope so. Charmander's character growth was really coming along well.
@KonDragon008 yes.
So they're pulling an Endgame on dis
You mean Dialga, right?
@KonDragon008 I really want that to be what happens. I feel bad for Squirtle. He seemed so tired of life in this episode and that evolution only made him want to take revenge for what happened to him and his friends. However a revenge really isn't always best solution.
"A true friend doesn't care if he's actually your friend. Some of my closest friends in the world have been my greatest enemies, and I never even talk to them." Best advice ever.
True.
@UCiTTJS-AOQUzlIUqlkv5M6g I can’t tell if your going with it or your an idiot
@ajm2612 if you’re talking to me then I’m going on it.
That makes no sense 💀
@someonenothere5134Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense 💀
"What is that?!"
"THAT is snow"
"Do not talk to the treees!"
I love this series, lol.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TALK TO THE GIANT TREE.
@Breakaway-ic5gj ye
Starter Squad Ep 11 Teaser just got released! Any patreons here??
Squirtle is smart to take rations with him for his trip up the mountain
r/cursedcomments
And emergency bait
this caught me off guard lmao
Soooooooo that's the reason he wanted them to stick together so he can have a proper meal
"I dont know why I was laughing so much at the beginning. That story just had a bunch of death and a very sad ending". Turtwig speaking on behalf of the fans! Just brilliant. Kudos to the work you guys have put into it! The attention to details and a great story is what makes this epic.
Episode 1: The starters fight over who gets to be chosen
Episode 10: Squirtle starts a solo rebellion against the Gods after being oppressed under their rules for more than a decade
Hi. I have the silly hobby to recommend fun-stuff and educational-stuff
and a Fusion of both to random Strangers.
Mind if i do?
..And no... I'm not a bot... many assume that, but most dont even care to test it... or ask...
...
20 bucks says reds up there
@whisperthewolf9478 aint he dead
Nah plot armor got his back.
I've watched so many movies so I just feel like that's what we're gonna be led to believe for the series until the end where we find out he's alive
At 12:51 we can see a glitch where warturtle is fighting mewtwo where I think it can be a foreshadowed of episode 12
I didn't expect this to be an emotional rollercoaster. Fantastic job. Can't wait for the finale. :D
Hi what's up verified :)
I am doing good
Yeah I bet next episode will leave us on a BIG cliff-hanger for the finale
Holy shit, you're here too!
Your hear too?
@Ves722 ikr
"JUST TELL ME THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE THIS RIGHT"
Squirtle: There's a way to make this right.
He did what he said tho 😂
so I am guessing pokeballs turns pokemon into clone troopers because the way I saw his eyes changed after the pokeball was destroyed lol
@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441 hello fellow starwars nerd
@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441 not really, Squirtle didn't become like that until he lost his will
That would've been the ultimate form of salt if Squirtle wasn't 100% obedient.
I like how Charmander started *ALL* of this by killing *ONE* Caterpie
Irk
Its like a guy thats shot an austrian and ended up beinge ww1
@monolith9613 that was a loose domino effect that had pre-war tensions built up.
This is more like Hitler picking a fight with the Stalin, who then overwhelmed his advanced army with sheer numbers. Charmander fucked with that one obsessive Caterpie.
Charmander: *kills ONE Caterpie*
Also Charmander: *proceeds to kill a Caterpie army*
pablo
Can't beleive this is already 4 years old, let alone the entire series being over a decade old lmao. Also the dialouge at 21:26 is insane, holy peak
What an episode
OK
First underrated verified comment I’ve seen
now we wait 4 years for the next episode
@acegaming9066 I’ll be old enough to drive a car when that happens 😂
Must be a dream
"remember when the trainer didn't choose Charmander?"
"What does any of that have to do with this?"
*"Everything."*
What if Charmander got his way and the caterpie went extinct 10 years ago...?
If he didn't die in episode 9 I think they would've remembered to meet mewtwo in cerulean cave, according to one of the comments I read, and since that was their goal after getting Squirtle. And since Charmander originally didn't get to tell Squirtle that he was trying to get him back, they would've been able to talk about that and make amends (I think).
@Frosty_6609 you're really supposed to take turns
*I missed the part where that's my problem*
I think squirtle will talk to the gods to revive him and battle them and grants him one wish and travel back in time to save charmander and bulbasaur and leave to meet mewtwo and maybe fight missinggno
Throughout everything, the entire time, Charmander was right. That was a twist I could've never expected.
What did charmander say again....? I forgot the story 😅
They really just killed that man
@chandrus8015 He said that pokemon trainers are slave owners, and that individuality is key. I thought the story thus far was leading us to believe that Charmander was wrong, but in the end, he was correct.
This is a masterpiece
@crystalcat1002 To be fair, while his philosophy was sound, he had a _very_ violent and authoritarian way of spreading it. Heck, his actions lead to the Caterpie war in the first place. Squirtle has now basically adopted the philosophy, but without the violent temperament. It's a cool middle ground that came from a lot of well done character writing.
Finally after 4 years we get Starter Squad episode 11 today.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that when Squirtle finally decided to hold himself accountable for his own actions and fight for himself he became war-tortle . Fuckin beautiful
since he was going the top to ask the gods something he is probably gonna ask them to revive character and get the team back together
I feel some DOOM SLAYER vide here
My fav starter is squirtle and i have reasons for that
Idrc
No, he evolved because he threw away his everstone
Boy can't wait to see the next...10 YEARS LATER!!! Sh!t got real really fast XD
Oh hey its Sonichaxd. The guy that made the mk sucks series.
@ThePyromancer-fz9by one of the best youtubers for it XD
But ofc it was fuckin worth it
Hi
And in Sinnoh no less
Poor sleep-deprived Mewtwo is literally the only one holding back Missingno and the endless glitch corruption.
I was waiting for someone to mention that
@Mewtwo thank you from saving us from Missingno Mewtwo
He's still waiting for charmander. Or maybe he already knows he is dead.
@shinyshinx789
"That damn lizard! If I happen to catch a grip of his soul I'm shoving him to the monster that he created!"
@donttrustnoone3921 Watch charmander just vibing in lavender town this whole time
24:17 what he means by something he means to bring everyone who died back including charmander
I don't think so
@RuvedoI mean why would he be bringing his body up with him I understand bearing him but he could have done that right there.
@Rebelnutt what kind of god pokemon could be up there tho? It's purple glowing??
@super_chris-q2sI think its dialga
I was right
Storytelling, man. This Is awesome.
Quando arrivera la traduzione in italiano
You are here too! Nice
Mhm
Yooooo
Comedy - drama Real quick
I would die for any one of those Snover, they are literally the best and I couldn't love them any more than I already do. Also, the person who voice acted them did an amazing job, the voice was 90% of the entire appeal.
Q
Oh yeah I’d totally chill with those guys.
Sounds like Morty's teacher
i gotta hate the snovers
@theultimatesupernova8943 what?! Why? ಥ╭╮ಥ
12:09 I just realized this spearow was also a leader of his own clan like Caterpie is to theirs because of the bandana on his head. He was also on a revenge for the Fearow's death, the Fearow was probably his older brother or father.
Back again after the eleventh episode, so much has changed...
Wartortle is the literal embodiment of Kratos. A God of Wartortle is upon us!!!
I felt the same vibes ahaha
He will evolve into Blastoise on the fight with Arceus
During his fight with abomisnow i though god of war 3 immediately
@Sombra_zx My favorite pokemon battling out against literally a God!
@BrunoBomb13 monferno will awaken and then his flame appears again meanwhile Chimchar sees he is a monferno and Blastoise his Master and friend now, of course Turtwig being chill until he sees Venasaur with his butterfree Girlfriend reaching to see the bibarel friend, and what if season 2 has more initial pokemon, with pov of other new pokemon protagonist included cosmog, Rowlet, Popplio, litten, grookey, sobble, etc forming a Rescue Team because Blastoise decides to get Revive weed
17:54 "you can tell because there are x's in his eyes" had a good laugh at this lmao
14:31 “Truly our friends are the most replaceable we know!” says the snowver as they replace the other snowver.
I didn't even notice that! The Snover's are so funny!
A few salty manchildren are saying this series has become too sEriOus, when this is proof it has not.
@fox_n_sox26
"Is he havin' a flashback?"
"Hold on I'll ask him. Hey are you havin' a flashback?"
"Aahw I can't remember the last time I had a flashback, it must have been about three years ago *Starting the flashback"
The Snover's are the best character in this ep
@raulenciox9115 j used that quote a couple times, too 🤣🤣 so hallarious
@raulenciox9115 I would say Abomasnow is the best character or Wartortle
Not me rewatching the entire series because ive forgetten everything thats happened up until now
Episode 9: *leaves us in a big cliffhanger*
*2 years later*
Episode 10: oh yea, he died, *ANYWAYS*
Yeah I’m not a fan of this gotta say
Lol 🤣🤣
I thought he was gonna evolve right when he got stabbed
I don't think it was meant to be a cliff hanger.
@blueyoshi4211 for one time a protagonist died during the series and not at the end
I just realized something: the timeskip is 10 years. Pokémon Red & Green released in Japan in February 1996 while Pokémon Diamond and Pearl released in Japan in September 2006. And this is the first time we’ve seen Pokémon outside of the original 151. And all of those Pokémon come from Gen IV
that is why is says ten years later
The existence of pokemon gods would make sense now!
@Pun-ish is Mewtwo one of the gods do you think? And what ever happens to cerulean cave?
A remorseful Caterpie in the scene that the forest is almost destroyed. He's the one wearing things on his head, right? 😥 I suppose the others of his kind were fatally gone.
@tristangjordan Mewtwo was genetically engineered from Mew, I meant like Arceus, dialga, palkia and giratina that first appeared in 4th generation
That scene with distraught Caterpie asking an emotionless Squirtle what to do was actually really powerful. Also I wonder what happened to Whiskers. Pretty clear she tried to fight Bluey but still.
Caterpie said it lost everything including whiskers so I would presume she was killed in the fighting at some point
Caterpie probably died immediately after Squirtle left
@ilovedragonball2435 Likely either killed by the birds or killed by Squirtle for trying to desert. There's a small chance, however, that she might have escaped in the confusion of warfare somehow. Caterpie mentioned that he had a "stone", which relative to a Nidorina can only allude to a moon stone. Sounds like Chekhov's Gun to me, so with potential time shenanigans coming up, we may see a post-war Nidoqueen Whiskers in the coming episodes.
What ever happened to the machamp
@spacetaco4500 What Machamp?
This series is literally the same age as my little brother and I'm pretty sure he'll be able to show his kids this show before it finishes
14:35 this just goes to show that squirtle didn't care who turtwig actually was, he just wanted a replacement, kinda hits hard
right
Who is stickle
@dababy4457 yeah your right i fixed it lol
@dababy4457 turtwig, the tree one in the vid
@Doasdin "our friends are the most replaceable people we know"
17:54 "You can tell because there are X's where its eyes should be" This dialogue is perfect XDD, ty for creating these videos
RIP your eyes..
Lol
Pffft… lazy
So Charmander started off as selfish, he still was, but when Squirtle tried to teach him that force isn't what makes a leader, he tried to use empathy and redeem himself by trying to save Squirtle. Squirtle was always trying to follow the rules unless someone he viewed as an authority figure tried to make him break them, but by doing what he's told he loses the one guy who actually viewed him as an equal and gave up his free will to not feel guilty for what Caterpie made him do. Now that he looks back on his past and tries to hold himself accountable, he sort of embodied Charmanders initial desire to evolve and his belief that the rules Squirtle followed were not worth it when following them caused him suffering.
I still hate the fact that charmander died
@hmmmmmmmmmmmmm-b3lagreed, however the impact I think will make the story more interesting in the long run
@hmmmmmmmmmmmmm-b3lI like the fact that charmander died, him being so rude, and so annoying as the main character deeply triggered me
Reasonable crashout 6:37

"Something"
NGL, for an action movie one-liner that going to rank pretty high for me.
How has it been 2 years since the last episode? And the fact that now there’s only 2 left is exciting and mind boggling. My friend showed me this show when I was still in high school and I’m now in my 5th year of college and he’s about to have a kid. Time really does fly by. Look forward to coming back for what’s next.
Machiko Cutte----🍒💋 go away shoot bot
Yay It got away the bot :)
Honestly if you have been watching since the beginning. It shouldn't be a surprise to you that it's been 2 years since the last episode. It's just the standard at this point
ya
I guess that means we will have to wait till late 2023 or 2024 for the next episode unfortunately. But this one was epic, so the next one should be too.
Wartortle gonna fuck up some shit then get his homies back
The true chosen warrior
1 more level until he evolves into his ultimate forme!!!!!!!
It’s amazing how squirtle’s want to be on a team and take orders was shown as early as episodes 5 and 7, and these flashbacks show us the extreme of what that extreme loyalty he wanted got him: the dangers of following orders blindly.
It does make sense though, for Squirtle's character. He was the one who tried to see things logically and tried his best to show Charmander his perspective and common sense, fearing the concequence of breaking these rules. I think I know what Squirtle was afraid of now: losing any form of stability and peace he's known, watching as inoccents die and the strong live.
Yet it does show Charmander was also right too, seeing how things turned out the way they did. It makes me wonder if the war and everything else would've happened if Charmander wasn't so hell bent on strength and evolution.
@kotahope3850 it def wouldn’t have because charmander was the martyr for caterpies cause
@jackmisha2598 U right.
the voice acting, specially for abomasnow was stellar, absolutely memorable performance for times to come
When I played the episode I knew charmander was dead but it’s was more heartbreaking to see Caterpea use his head as a HAT.
“Oh so u didnt feel bad when charmander used the caterpie as hat but u feel sad now that caterpie is using charmander as hat?!?!”
-The caterpie who killed charmander probs
But really man I agree, charmander was the protagonist so I thought there would be a plot armor but he died...and it was super sad......
Can’t believe episode 11 is finally coming out
Yep, it’s been so long
