After watching episode 11
Pablo's death really had a huge butterfly effect... Or Butterfree effect?
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!
The single LARGEST butterfly effect in fiction
can u explain why?
@Manchesterunited-x8h There’s the rest of the series if your interested.
Nah, the real butterfly effect was Charmander throwing Pablo's head for the other Caterpie to find. All of this may have been avoided if he had just let Bulbasaur keep his damn hat!
*"Has no mature content"*
*Has a baby dragon stabbing a worm to death* 👍 sounds good to me
Not mature, no blood
I watched it when I was 9 or 10 years old, so
LOL
Charmander is not a dragon and Caterpie isnt a worm
And A walking vegetable who is wearing the worms head
0:40 legends za battles be like 💀
Yeah lol
Exactly how I felt
Literally bruh
Real time battles when you have to go for a second
Alternate Reality: Charmander actually follows the rules and takes turns attacking Pablo as it was so weak, he had no real reason to “cheat”. He eventually knocks it out unconsious, and the Caterpie leader no longer has as much desire to kill Charmander.
I’m still trying to wonder what he had to gain from killing that Caterpie like that, cause we all know it clearly didn’t help him in the end .
@BugsyFoga hat
@BugsyFoga food
No 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.
XNorthEast That’s a very interesting point actually. I feel like I’m the alternate reality I mentioned, they would be able to meet up with Mewtwo much easier since Caterpie wouldn’t have killed Charmander and captured Bulbasaur. Can’t wait to see what the next two episodes will be like.
1:00 Charmander sealed his fate
He came back tho
@MaysonMccannthis comment was made B4 Episode 11
And started a Great Worm War
Looking back at this definitely makes me feel Charmander's demise was super ironic.
No
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.
@xnortheast1106 good point, well only like 362 days until the next ep so we'll see soon
@xnortheast1106 well mewtwo was fighting missingo so he's definitely pre-occupied. I don't think he ever really needed charmander, he just wanted him to clean his own mess
@xnortheast1106 yeah that's my guess it will be cool to see wartortal or blastois go and save charmander and the sacrifice himself
Bulbasaur: But Charmander, you're supposed to take turns attacking.
Charmander: screw that. This is a fight, and I want to win.
-Wise words said from a wise Pokemon.
Now hand me that shoe
What's charmanders says ? Give me the ???, give the ???, i can't got it, help
@DaDoomyShiv, not shoe
0:45😂😂
Also pablo break rule he attack first by string shot even charmander should got chance to attack first because he has speed more than caterpie
And with that Charmander sealed his fate
No
@Family Shands Uh, no he did. Pablo initiated the fight so it's his fault. Caterpie nation didn't have to go that far.
@xnortheast1106 uh no if he just ko pablo... he wouldnt need to... what did he gained for k i l l pablo like that? also pablo was willing to give up lol.. just ko him and move on... and now look at episode 10... charmender is d e a d so?
1:00 this...this right here everyone, is how it all began
Autistic Bacon00001 yep world war 2 the attack of lizards versus caterpillars
little did he know that as he was pushing the stick into Pablo that he was also pushing the last nail in his own coffin
@liamdalemon1525 Probably the only person I've seen call him Pablo. Except me.
Yep this is were charmander started killing pokemon
"Hand me that shiv over there"
"but Charmander.."
"HAND ME THE SHIV"
xDD
"Caterpie fainted! CATERPIE FAINT..."
"Caterprie fainted, Caterprie fainted!"
+Suhayb Hussain caterpie; oh now I did.
POK I'M AN
I laughed so hard when Bulbasaur put on Caterpie s head
"Charmander your supposed to take turns attacking"
"Screw that this is a fight."
And I wanna win. Now hand me that shiv
+Luciano Martinez what was that from?
MADCOP exotics HAND ME THE SHIV!!!! (From this video)
I can't stop quoting this after getting Pokken Tournament.
No! CATERPIEE FAINTED! CATERPIEE FAINT.... 😵
This episode is basically the butterfly effect but with the butterfly still being a caterpillar
No
You kill a caterpie and accidentally destroy the world
0
.
.....
The caterpie effect. The butterfree effect, but caterpie.
The Butterfree effect
Charmander's way of fighting is just how I always felt about pokemon battles
What!!! Your crazy
It just seems kind of stupid take turns in a fight. Think how boxing would be, if one person threw a punch, then told the other it was there turn to attack
Joe Gillett yeah
But that's not how it is in Pokemon
RazorInsincts9 Gaming I wish thats how they battled
This one battle created a culmination of events which led to the creation of an army, the death of countless pokémon, an entire war with bugs against birds, and the destruction of the whole forrest. This is the domino effect on steroids.
Who knows how differently things would've gone if Charmander was picked instead of Squirtle.
I like how bulbasaur just obeys charmander because he is scared of him
LOL
I mean If he didn't, then Charmander would kill him
He isn’t even scared most of the time, he’s just too nice and naive to disobey
And so the legend of the lizard has begun
2019 bois
2020 bois
2018 bois
Ab Z
Untrue
Please sell caterpie hat in real life so I can be just like bulbasaur please
8i
And add organs and blood an-
Yeah😂
You monster...
Absolutely not. Only idiots were or hold severed parts.
“Oh, come on, what’s the worst that can happen?”
*Making the biggest mistake that leads to your death at the end of EP9.*
Preeeetty sure what lead to his death was Squirtle being a gullible idiot and/or Judas xD ;p
The same shiver that killed the "worm" its the same that killed charmander 0:50.
Actually, Char's mistake was showing mercy when he could stab whiskers than burn Caterpie before Squirtle shows up. Even when he does he could grab Caterpie and run to the fire where Squirtle will not be able to see him before Caterpie dies.
You could spoil it I barely spoiled it now you can be innocent Pokémon and die
Oh no i just got a spoiler
"That was pretty good... but now it's MY turn to attack" Omfg ;-; My heart melted with her voice!
*his lol
Charmander don't kill
no caterpie said it
its a guy
Thought the voice actress was a girl. Pretty sure caterpie is a boy and the voice behind him is a girl.
Dunno why I have the feeling that if Charmander is being a douche now when he'll become a Charizard he'll be the nicest pokemon ever.
that would be the best plot twist ever
Thoregor so far your prediction is coming true
It's funny because Charmander is usually the sweet heart, and Charizard is the buthole.
Majority of the time
He’s dead
1:49 The scream gets me every time😂
“PREPARE TO DIE”
*gets eaten*
*whale noises*
Did you enjoy episode 11 I worked really hard on it
@p@pure8129who is he?!
@pure8129wait ur not shippddige
That caterpie is the cutest thing ever, whoever voiced it must be seriously talented
😀😀
Jill harris
Tutns out caterpies want to murder charmander and predators 😂
Fun Fact the same voice actress voices Aura , in the dubbed version of Overlord
WHAT THE FUCK CATERPIE NO
Oh Hardy, we all know this was going to happen.
No wonder weedles are showing up more often...
R.I.P. Caterpie (ButterBall)
2014-2014
Poor hardy why did someone send you this
Poor caterpie she was so young
Looks at tag, "No Mature Content"
Sees Bulbasaur's hat: "Yup. Seems legit."
i found that caterpie to be adorable
...and extremely dead.
Me too
Poor Caterpie...
0:52
I know he said "shiv" but to be honest at first i thought he said "shoe"
Charmander vs Caterpie fight, AKA Pokemon GO fighting mechanics
i cryed
1:44 is fighting PKMN GO gyms in a ntushell
Ok right XD
I'm.LXCOPPPPPP
PPP
PPPPpl
THANK YOU
Am I the only one who is crying for caterpie ;-;
Q-Q;...me too..
quq thats his character perhaps
Nick Minor HOW DARE YOU
I now forever hate charmander ;-;
Screw caterpie friggin catipillar wat is the thing gonna do
Now with the benefit of hindsight, the part where Charmander says, "What's the worst that can happen?" and running into Caterpie was... a foreshadow. 😱😭
you're still alive?
that's cool
***** Iv'e never seen someone so butthurt about a goddamn word. get off the internet.
***** Not sure if defense... Or Troll.
Cosmic Treecko ...
Spy Crab more like welcome to the internet.
RobiePAX shouldn't be the norm on the internet, learn to spell you illiterate fu*ks!
Oddly enough I want a Charmander even more now.
Ya same, he's even more bad ass now!
Team Bulbasaur!!!! FTFW!!!
TheGCritic No -_-
I agree
Nano Shifter
Charmander=overrated
Bulbasaur= meh / cool
Squirtle= GOD
0:57 they sure did "faint" after that
0:51
Oh Shit. Things just got real.
I guess Charmander doesn't like turn based combat
He prefers pokken tournament
The reason Charmander never evolves despite all of his battles won is because the opponent died, not fainted.
"You've got a lot of nerve, walking around in that.... GRASS!" - oh my god, I'm dying lol.
"Whoa, that is a cool hat. Can I see it for a second?"
**chucks over trees**
"Now you have NOTHING!"
Charmander is savage 😂
And bulb doesn't know what's right or wrong
0:16 little did he know what would happen after that.
0:15 "What's the worst that can happen?" *BOOP*
Boop
1:17 That was plain rude, poor Bulbasaur.
1:06 That waste of time will get you killed in about 6 years
Squirtle-PREPARE TO DIE!!!
Gyrados- Nom
Ohhh
Also Charmander is a jerk
R.I.P Caterpie 😢
Can we talk?
"Caterpie fainted. CATERPIE FAINTED! (SHANK!)
D:} ... Dude...
Otoniel garcia No its this.
Caterpie used (whatever the move was)
Charmander used cut (I guess)
Charmander cheated and used double slap (I guess)
It hit twice!
Charmander used stab
Caterpie died. R.I.P Caterpie
That's how it went
Is shive attack
***** I'm not good with attacks 😞
Grotto 0_0 that's brutal.
Grotto shiv not shank
0:30 and thus begins a long standing war
Aw, Charmander is so mean.
Hes just pissed that he didn't get chosen because Charmaner is the most popular Kanto starter.
StarRider88 the weakest as well
XEmiyaArcherX well at least charizard could beat blastoise ass
zack Velasco blastoise would one hit charizard
zack Velasco venusaur is easly the strongest between kanto starters competitvely, he's the most versatile and has the best mega evolution between the 3 as well as one of the best move pools of all grass pokemon, blastoise is a pretty good tank with decent damge making him 2nd, charizard is simply trash tier pokemon who only kids think he's strong, he's arguably one of the top 5 weakest totally evolved pokemons for 1 simple reason.... stealth rocks...
LOVE Caterpie's lines and voice.
Still makes me laugh "Screw that, this is a fight, now hand me that shiv"
Poor Caterpie. I actually felt bad for the little guy.
...er...girl. But yeah. Caterpie started it. She didn't have to attack Charmander.
elcamp3 she was just following the rules! Charmander was walking on the grass :P
CappuccinO80 And Charmander finished the fight. Can't blame him for that. In the Pokemon manga, Pokemon died all of the time. People actually eat Pokemon.
elcamp3 well, yeah... meat has to come from somewhere, although they try to hide that fact in the anime and games. Made me remember when Ash and Brock wanted to eat a Magikarp :P
Well he was avenged
I feel bad for that Caterpie
we're already in hell, son.
what if we actually originally from pokemon world in the first time but all of us are put into a break pokeball so we are exist in this boring world and only see pokemon world through imagination?
Omar Robles don't forget to report yourself for telling me to go to hell.
Omar Robles after you, my lady.
Poor cater pie charmander he surrendered and you killed him your a JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😨😨😨😫😫😫😫😡😡😡😡😡
I’m surprised how the Charmander threw the Caterpie head so high!
Must've trained himself to lob things
Poor caterpie those last words were cruel
"Caterpie fainted CATERPIE FAINTER CATERPIE-
Caterpie
Made some pie!
@babysnatcherjaguar9470 lol
LOL
Died
:)
I remember watching this MANY years ago, and cannot believe that the VA for the Caterpie has become a professional VA, with her most recent notable role being Suletta Mercury.
Biggest what ifs in the show:
What if charmander got picked and not squertol
What if charmnder never killed the caterpie
What if squertol never got captured by the catorpies?????
Wow. I remember when I came to visit you and this was far from done. This looks amazing, Shipp!
6 years later lol
Yeah lol
lol
LOL
100000000000000000000 centuries later
No caterpie. pokemon don't die you know
In the games, maybe. In fan material, however...... well, now _that's_ a different story.
And then, of course, there's the Pokémon Tower...
Actually they do. If you read the manga.
It's because charmander don't understand while caterpie already say it's his turn
lavender town mt pyre and that one tower in black and white
Who is watching all the episodes again because of episode 9
Whelp, Charmander is a confirmed psychopath.
1:10 Bulbasaur, the guy with a sunny outlook on things. :3
Katelynn Visbeck I'm a Pokemon fan. You'll find me anywhere. XD
Now you haber NOTHING
0:48 and this is why charmander is still my favorite starter to this day
Charmander used Bitch-Slap! Caterpie is paralyzed and unable to move! Caterpie uses Plea! It's not very effective... Charmander uses Shiv! It's super effective! Caterpie fain... Never mind, she's dead. Bulbasaur uses Hat Trick! Bulbasaur grabs Caterpie's head and uses it as a hat! Charmander used Seismic Toss! The hat was tossed away! Squirtle uses Plea! It's not very effective... Gyrados uses Chomp! Squirtle is eaten!
still more captivating than the Pokemon Stadium announcers
that poor Caterpie. So cute. Why would you kill something that has that kawaii a voice?
+datrandomyoutubecommenter you are a bitch
datrandomyoutubecommenter ok i think thats enough out of you. going to block in 3.. 2.. 1....
datrandomyoutubecommenter and....gone :) much better
+Peter Young It's a dude... named Pablo
Uhhh... That's a boy.
Episode 2: Charmander stabs Pablo.(Pablo: Caterpie fainted, CATERPIE FAIN--)
Episode 9: Caterpie leader stabs Charmander.(Leader Caterpie: This is for Pablo. Squirtle: NONONONONO--
Turbobist 28 except for charmander it was self defense
@BDA_Empire69 So....if somebody spits at you (because they are clueless at that), you beat and stab them to death?
It is the same shiv too
honestly the ending was trrraaassshhh
@leonardoguzman2027 ending? It said to be continued. Called a cliffhanger.
Eventually, Charmander gives up his attempt at evolving, and takes up playing Smash Bros. as Super64.
The End.
I feel bad for the Caterpie... mostly because she sounds cute.
That escalated quickly. It went from a walk, to a fight, to murder.
To war
@thetreyceratops to a genocide.Yeah it scalated a lot.
I haven't seen this episode from Pokémon
are you stupid? they made this it is not really a video
FuzWolf Animations *sigh* (sarcasm)
and your the stupid one its sarcasm
Just a stupid 8 year old. Don't mind him.
your all stupid guys now cut it out :)
3 initial Pokémons appeared in this clip, on the TF2 graphics, TF2 is based on Source Engine, so THREE pokémon in the same engine as Half-Life Game?
HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.
GOD DAMMIT THIS MEME AGAIN
Robirdo playable in Mario Kart 8 confirmed.
Prepare To DIE (gets eaten) me:😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I always feel bad for things with cute voices.
SilverShadyBlazerProductions ikr? Makes you want to hug them. :(
I do too but when they make cool hats it's not as bad
Same here
Same here
the funny thing is, if bulbasaur stayed he would be chosen by the rival
The fact that this is why…it…started
Oh god. Please keep making more!!!!
1:49
That's why you pick Bulbasaur! lol
choose charmander he'll just take something sharp and stab him
And that's why I always pick fire types
Yeah, because Fire is super effective against WATER. Did you take Pokemon type lessons from Brock?!..... plus, Charizard will faint from a f*cking pebble (thanks to him being Fire/Flying and his meh Defence).
TheGCritic then how did i beat the rock and water gym in a flash -.-
Sky Pony You caught something else.
0:59
And here, at that moment, Charmander made the decision that would lead to countless deaths in the future.
You should make an entire series about this or at least make a few more.
what he said ^
Ya listen to this guy
And he already have 8 years later. So your wish have finally came true.😁
Poor Caterpie?... How bout poor Squirtle! Only three moves and fighting a Gyarados! Red are you high on pokepuffs?!
Actually he smoked a bit too much revival herb.
jose martinez What? I heard he smoked a bunch of Lax Incense.
Nurse Joy gave the revival herb to Red as a replacement for his medical marijuana. The Lax Incense was just used for the box so no one would suspect him.
RIP Pablo, this will definitively not change the story for the rest of the series.
Shippiddge - I CHOOSE YOU!!!!
WHENS SEASON 2 OF NPC COMING OUT?!?!?!?!??!
Oh, a wild Machinima appeared.
wow i thought u guys stop existing
Shippiddge you better use a masterball because that is a legendary.
Machinima uses Overwhelming RUclips Contract
It's super effective!
Your writing in this is so good, I wonder what it would be like if we had a series staring these guys.
Oh buddy, BOY HAVE WE GOT A TREAT
1:00 the moment that made charmander and caterpie have a conflict for 9 episodes
Ok i got a list of messed up things about this video
1.Charmander is sociopath
2.Bulbsaur is very messed up in the head
3. Squirtle is the only one who has a brain
4. The humans are stupid
+Gao Okumara
Charmander isn't a sociopath.
Then what is he?
Gao Okumara
A jerk.
xKryoxMan no he's a sociopath
yes
Aww! that Caterpie's voice.
UberTuberBackPacker dont worry as much charmander kills the more badass he becomes
Charmander is basically a pokèmon with a brain
1:03 Beavis and Butthead ah moment
Bulbasaur: "Charmander you're supposed to take turns attacking"
Charmander:"Screw that this is a fight and I wanna win now hand me that shiv over there"
Bulbasaur: "But Charmander"
Charmander: "HAND ME THE SHIV"
Caterpie: "NO Ok wait I SURRENDER! CATERPIE FAINTED CATERPIE FAINE-"
XD
You’re dummm
Charmander is savage
The quote of the day “ok wait you guys win caterpie fainted caterpie fainte”
Gonna be honest, I actually kinda want to see this turn into a series.
Bro its been 7 years and it is a series
I wonder how old this person is now
It’s a series, and… it just hits different. Especially Episodes 9 and 10.
@darkraitheshadow9903 he commented this 8 years ago...
let's see how that turns out
i love how the pokemon here have personalities that are complete opposites to the ones they have on the actual show
I feel bad for Pablo the Caterpie
poor...poor...caterpie
poor...poor...poor...caterpie
+Stoned he deserved it
Caterpie fainted forever
yin yang
９９９９９９っっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっっp
Charmander first became the true antagonist in this episode.
Charmander: *literally violently kills an innocent Caterpie*
RUclips: *no mature content*
And also Bulbasaur literally wears its severed head as a hat...
Wake up in the morning you got
0:25 on your mind
Grass?
1:00 small things bring a big change they said 💀
I rlly love the voice acting on Bulbasaur, you made him so CUTE!
1:49
*nomonmonomnomon*
THE END
R.I.P Squirtle 2014 - eated by Gyarados
Charmander didn’t know that Pablo had a Family
0:57 hahaha. Karma goes brr.
