    Phil, I absolutely miss this from my high school days and I'm sorry about the stupid copyright claim. You have encapsulated the feeling of what Pokemon was like growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s. Very fun and in-depth reviews of everything Gen 1 is perfect for a "Gen-wunner" like me lol. Thank you dude!

      Same here. I remember watching these back about… 10 years now…? His videos were really the first ones to do a retrospective on Pokémon as a phenomenon before DYKG came around. Are they edited greatly? Maybe not, but I still think he still did a good job on it. It brings back nostalgia for sure.

      the pokemon series? those are my first real rpgs. the anime was already out. so when i must go to locations i watched the anime. as a guide.
      the battle against blane yes, blane was epic. a tv version of the "final boss" theme.

    Phil, I remember watching this when you first put these out back in the day, and I always loved your personal take on them because it encapsulates what so many of us Gen1ers experienced at that time.
    As being one of the first Pokémon retrospectives that I watched before DYKG started taking over, I always came back to your videos. I greatly appreciate that you combined all your videos into one big one. Great job on all of it.

    I love retrospectives, so I'm glad that I found this one, especially because of how you're adding your own experiences to it. You showed off the bedsheets and that's honestly a piece of merchandise that I still own and use. I guess the reason why I'm making note of that is because I wasn't sure if it was an official piece of merchandise and it's kind of heartfelt that I still own it after who knows how many years since it came out

    Honestly one of the best retrospectives on the early gens you can find. Authentic and informative.
    It's a shame that the audio quality suffered in this re-upload. If you ever wanted to come back and re-record this would be a definitive retrospective. But I also get that copyright strikes are not exactly easy to work around while keeping authentic background music.

    Judging by how you describe your timelines, we're about the same age. I never saw these when they were originally uploaded, in fact I only first saw em today. Just wanted to say I miss this era of RUclips, you really sound passionate and like you love what you're talking about. Not trying too hard to be funny, not making jokes bashing the franchise for no reason in lieu of real criticism. The criticism you make is actually valid. You also surprisingly don't make the overly dated jokes that most people do now when talking about gen 1. This actually, weirdly, makes me nostalgic for 2010.
    Also I like your art!

    I can tell you exactly what parents were thinking during the Pikachu short.
    When I was older, my mom and I got to talking about Pokémon the First Movie, and she told me she thought the short was the movie. Haha. She thought it was some kind of bizarre twilight zone shit and couldn't understand how we were enjoying it so much.
    She was relieved when the actual movie began, although she still wasn't impressed.

    • @TXFDA
      @TXFDA 3 года назад +1

      He was clearly using an emulator for a lot of the gameplay, and for some reason decided....for this kind of video... to use the Fast Forward button. Instead of just showing normal speed gameplay.
      I'm also not sure, but it almost seemed like the region on his emulator was wrong, because the speed of that intro to the game played just a little too fast.
      HONESTLY, it seems like the entire video was sped up. He's talking a mile-a-minute, the gameplay audio is sped up, the intro to the game was sped up. Like, it feels like he made a video, then just changed the speed to be just slightly faster. The whole video is at least slightly more watchable if you set the RUclips player speed to 0.9. Anything more than that and it's actually understandable, but it makes the dude sound drunk.

  • @TXFDA
    @TXFDA 3 года назад +3

    I'll be honest, I thought this dude was just talking too fast. Then when the intro to the Game Boy game played, and it was ALSO too fast, I thought maybe I accidentally pumped my RUclips speed up a bit. Turns out, nope. I did not. This video is just too fast for absolutely no reason.
    Slowing the video down to x0.9 is a little better. Anything lower than that and the dude sounds drunk. Though it does extend the almost 2 hour long video slightly.
    Side question: Why use an emulator's fast forward function for THIS kind of video? You only needed small clips here and there. And even if you NEEDED to use the fast forward....why include the horrible sounding fast forwarded audio?

    No. Because in gen 1 ghost wasn’t super effective against psychic like it should have been. Why? Who knows... Seems like an oversight but a really fucking obviously poor one.

    Am I the only one who knew how to properly glitch Mew back in 1999? I used to roll my eyes at the other kids who kept going on about secret Pokémon and stupid rumors. I discovered the glitch by accident. After I got an Abra I had the wrong Pokémon at the top so I teleported away from the trainer battle and then I went and battled the guy with the Slowpoke to level up Pikachu and I teleported back and when I went back to the bridge I ended up getting into a battle with Mew. I used Pikachu’s Thunderwave and started throwing some balls and I ended up discovering the Mew glitch by accident at the tender age of 11.
