@Kit cat Because he killed them in this episode only as a last resort. Plus, Squirtle was the one who taught him empathy in the first place. That's why I said the Caterpies brainwashed Squirtle. That's not him!
Call it the redemption of charmander. He didnt know empathy, acted like a jerk and killed Pablo. The caterpie revenge for a reason and by brainwashing Squirtle he has his reason. An eye for and eye, in caterpies eye he himself is not the villain. But charmander has changed, learnt empathy and actually started to care for Squirtle for real, but that tbh, is not a reason for automatic forgiveness. This is the perfect manifestation of how hate will only bring forth more hate.
The saddest part for me is how Charmander actually tried to change, and he did change. It was difficult for him, but he managed because he cared that much for his friends. He showed so much empathy and care in this episode, and that's what got him killed in the end.
Caterpie: ‘The difference between you and me is that you don’t feel empathy, you just use it. You wouldn’t feel a thing if I killed Squirtle.’ Also Caterpie: Uses Whiskers as a weapon against Charmander, uses empathy to make her feel like she’s a part of a family when really she’s just a soldier, isn’t phased when Charmander threatens to kill her, likely wouldn’t feel a thing if he did. Damn, that’s good writing. Caterpie becomes the very thing that they hated. The character development is the reverse of Charmander’s; going from the motivation being about caring about another (Pablo) to just wanting power, vs just wanting power to fighting for the sake of another (Squirtle). At this point, Caterpie basically seems to not care about Pablo anymore, and just wants power.
I think the difference is that one is dead and one is just captured If Charmander captured Pablo (for some reason), Caterpie would likely stay on the path of caring about Pablo and wanting him back, but if Caterpie killed Squirtle, then Charmander would probably continue on his path of rage-induced mass murder Caterpie was right in saying that he wouldn't feel anything at all if Squirtle got killed
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500 but I think that Charmander threatened to kill every last one of them if they didn’t bring back Squirtle and sio that means Charmander did care about him, he was his first friend. Squirtle didn’t even want Charmander to die. He just said that he would have to live in an ultra ball (could have used a normal ball.) so Charmander would do anything for him because isn’t that what friends do? Teach the right things and protect them from any type of danger
@@ssp_c Graphics and animation were nice, but the cliffhanger just makes my blood boil after seeing the character twist of squirtle, Shippidge really did a good job of making people see him as the notorious procrastinator , you just have to admit, Seeing the ending had to make you have a bad taste in your mouth knowing you will wait 1-2 years for a professional team that have 2 income revenues, (patreon,youtube) and make low quality, budget storylines, other than that it's great.
Watching this from start to current day has been a real treat. Not only has the animation improved so much but the audio quality too. The voices are becoming their own characters, with their own feelings and it really became apparent here. I’m so glad to see starter squad grow from the silly 2 minute episodes to something both surreal and capable of evoking some genuine emotional reactions in people. You are really making good use of that Patreon and it shows! I’m really happy to see the effort and love that goes into these
The saddest part about charmander dying is that he did change, he offered to spare everyone if they gave him back squirtle. He even tried to say “all I wanted was to” and he was probably gonna say “save you”or something like that but squirtle just didn’t want to listen and thought that he was killing them only to evolve. In episode 10, we see that caterpie was defeated and left with nearly nothing, when she killed charmander, she became no better than him
squirtle is actually being captured by japan caterpie which is why he just destroys everything (part 10) cuz she commands him (i like how he says wait no not charmander) the rest yeah (paet 10) finally she realised squirtle with none of his starter friends
I don't know about that. If Charmander tries to get revenge, he'll be digging his own grave for sure. Personally, I see him having night terrors and experiencing his own personal hell (e.g. getting haunted and/or attacked by his victims) before coming to terms with himself once and for all.
Coming here from E10 and the ending was heartbreaking. Charmander coming to his senses, going on a whole rescue mission, endured so many different opponents, all to save the one friend who he knew had his good intentions in mind. Squirtle loved Charmander and Charmande loved him back. It was a conflict of ideals but both had good intentions in mind. Seeing Squirtle now, distraught, regretful, and haunted by Charmander’s death. It crushes me. I could only imagine how broken down Squirtle must’ve felt that day.
What’s even more sad is that at 15:33 “I just wanted-“ Charmander was most likely going to say he just wanted Squirtle back, but Squirtle thought he didn’t change when it was the exact opposite
It's so weird that the roles between Charmander and Squirtle are almost reversed here How Charmander said multiple times he'd be willing to spare and leave them all if they just gave Squirtle back while Squirtle just assumes and attacks despite the fact he doesn't know that Charmander has grown as a pers- uhh Pokémon
Yeah, and later on, caterpie's thirst for blood caused the extinction of his entire colony, if only squirtle stopped and listened to what charmander had to say...
Squirtle couldn’t get past all the stuff Char has done in the past to realize what he was trying to do at that moment, which I could kind of understand.
It could be nidorina too though, Like her realizing that her only family member left was an asshole and decided to help charmander, y'know, that one cliché shtick
@@themoddersapk4902 I think the gimmick there was that Golem was over levelled and he wouldn't have shown proper restraint in combat. He just got desperate.
Looking at this, the near-Butterfree really is the better trainer. Better type coverage, more and higher levelled pokemon, it's a wonder that she wasn't in charge already--maybe her only partial/likely recent evolution out of being a Metapod is why
I thought that she was the old leader before the Caterpie-hero-emperor, given how she said "that so-called leader" as if it was a new leader that usurped her
15:32 Charmander : I just want... I believe is " to see you and get you back to my team " damm :( Squirtle is so gonna regret what he did after he learn of what Charmander been tru just to see him, risking his life for a friend like Squirtle
@Reds Though I understand the complaint if you look at his upload history it literally is once a year And considering the quality of the video, I think it was worth the wait. Animation isn't easy
Charmanders scream when he was getting blasted with water from squirtle actually made me feel something.Crazy to think a youtube show could make me feel something
What I really like about this series is that there isn’t a clear “good side” and “bad side”. It’s something that’s very hard to pull off when writing a story. I mean Charmander is obviously the protagonist, but he is villainized in a somewhat realistic way.
In a way but that's for character development. Compare Charmander here than in episode 2 and you notice he's become more and more civil trying to find Squirtle. He slowly starts to learn the value of friendship and teamwork and very slowly is learning to be a good leader. There's this one quote, "A real leader stands with their followers, not just ordering them." -unknown. I bet once he understands all 3 of those, good karma will come his way and he'll finally get his wish of evolution.
I'm not a metal guy whatsoever *but holy shit that Geodude segment was lit af* EDIT: Also, holy shit the Voice acting chops have improved significantly.
aaron the great he’s not bet anything that squirtel throws the pokeball at caterpie to save charmander and they go on another adventure. Or the “player”resets the game but the starters keep their memories
Lol most of the people who liked this don’t even know what your talking About so I’ll explain it to people who don’t know, basically in one of the episodes Mewtwo told Charmander to come and find him to finish what he started a.k.a. that glitch monster I feel like Mewtwo is going to bring Charmander back.
@@greatestever3634 I meant that what I quoted might foreshadow Squirtle and Charmander's eventual reunion, so it gives me hope. But you bring another good point.
They are also in around the sinnoh reigon at the moment. So Wartortle might meet someone like dialga at the top of the mountain, he can just turn back time.
look at the end of the episode. After the credits. Its a caterpie with charmanders head on. we should have known he died. IT WAS INFRONT OF US THE WHOLE TIME.
But honestly for real though. Charmander, at this point in time should at the very least be level 21. If he started at level 7 which is when he gets a fire move, he's killed. At least 150 caterpie which at level 3 give 36 exp. Most of these trained however, meaning theyre at most level 6, which give 54 exp. So all in all, Charmander has killed at least 150 caterpie, kinda defeated a weedle, squirtle once, bulbasaur, that pidgeotto, a weepinbell (however you spell that) etc The fact he hasn't evolved yet is insane.
Squirtle: You took so many innocent lives and all I did was stand there! Also Squirtle: Charges at a group of Caterpie with a shiv, creates the plan to vaporize Hitmonchan, and the best of all... "Screw empathy! There's a time and place for everything but not now, KICK HIS ASS"
On Squirtle's defense: He attacked the Caterpies in order to save Charmander and Bulbasaur. And I don't think anyone would have enough patience to do Weepinbell's stupid challenges. Although, you're point on the Hitmonchan incident was perfectly justified.
@@arthurmorgan8902 I believe so. Probably, the semi-protagonost Squirtle would get revenge or the protagonist, which is Charmander, would not be dead for reasons.
The thing that irritates me is that Squirtle really wants Charmander to be nice and normal, sure thats normal for everyone, but when Charmander is actually fully dying to Squirtle, He doesnt stop. I dont think Squirtle is at fault, everyone is at fault, its just Squirtle is betraying his ideals by following Charmander's foot steps by assisting a murder. Still, Episode 9 Is such a good episode.
So basically what I got from this episode was: -Squirtle learned Bubble Beam. -The music in this series is AWESOME. -Charmander is (finally) become a better person/Pokémon. -All Caterpie can burn and die in a fire. -Bulbasaur is still the best character. -Charmander is probably dead, but who knows, miracles can happen. -The creator of this series had the power to perfectly add depressing moments, and made a perfect build up to the end. I love this series.
- Missingno is gonna play a part in the next episode due to the glitching at the very end of the video. Perhaps charmander dies but he is revived by missingno taking his form? WHO KNOWS?
Charmander: I am willing to do whatever it takes to get squirtle back, even if it means risking all three of our lives. Sandshrew: Well that’s reassuring.
@@potorius7877 well we should still appreciate the work he puts into this, this probably takes a long time to animate and put all the details and work into this, etc.
I am actually pretty amazed at not only the improved graphics but the way you're able to captivate us pokéfans with your own lore and storytelling in a matter of 19 mins, which is a hard task in itself for any media creators. A few Tv shows/movies now a days that have hired screen play writers with budgets sky high are about on par/below the standard you're pumping out on RUclips for free pretty much. I'd gladly wait a few years for the next episode, honestly its comparable to like a birthday/christmas present from a dear friend!! Anyway keep up the hard work and don't over work your self at this risk of your own health, you have plenty of fans that will wait for you unconditionally ❤️👍
Extremely impressive as always, but the Geodude metal part blew me away. I would honestly pay good money to hear a full version of that song on its own.
All these comments and no one mentioned that *shiny* caterpie 🐛 Edit: my humble thanks for the each thumb up. You really only encounter this like once every 8192 videos.
It's sad knowing that the catterpie turns into everything it hates. Just because catterpie and Squirtle didn't understand why Charmander did what he did.
Actually, he should have. Charmander survived 3 tackles minimum from Nidorina followed by 6 water guns from Squirtle, which, given this takes place in gen 1 rules, means charmander is at least level 23.
I used to write my own pokemon series, and my main character was a Charmander with a genetic evolution disability. He had to wait until later levels to hit Charmeleon, and then somewhere in the 60s to become Charizard. I used to think only I did this sort of thing, but looking at this Charmander now, he is either lowkey disadvantaged, or just EXTREMELY tough in stats for a low leveled Charmander.

1. the animation are much more accurate.

"I'm sorry, Charmander. I don't know when I'll see you again, but it might not be for a while."
Shippidge, you evil genius...
Lol most of the people who liked this don’t even know what your talking About so I’ll explain it to people who don’t know, basically in one of the episodes Mewtwo told Charmander to come and find him to finish what he started a.k.a. that glitch monster I feel like Mewtwo is going to bring Charmander back.
@@greatestever3634 I meant that what I quoted might foreshadow Squirtle and Charmander's eventual reunion, so it gives me hope. But you bring another good point.
@@greatestever3634 no shit I called it first
They are also in around the sinnoh reigon at the moment. So Wartortle might meet someone like dialga at the top of the mountain, he can just turn back time.
look at the end of the episode.
After the credits.
Its a caterpie with charmanders head on.
we should have known he died.
IT WAS INFRONT OF US THE WHOLE TIME.
Butterfree: PLEASE do not kill him.
Geodude: **Proceeds to sing a song about killing him**
HE DEAD BRO.
The geodude is a cold blooded killer
Geodude is good
What that song even
Steamlazer X no stupid
The saddest part is how squrtle thought charmander wanted to evolve but he just wanted squrtle back😢
Geodude's song was crazy. Can't believe it's the same voice actor as squirtle's. Great job!
개다개 Same, I was a bit shocked and incredibly impressed to see that Geodude had he same VA as Squirtle. They sound nothing alike.
STOP GOLEM YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK
*Mewtwo drops off Shippiddge in front of the computer*
YOU. WORK. NOW.
Lol
Hahaha true
What happened to Charmander?!
@@DavidGonzalez-mt2kv He gonna evolve into Charizard.
Wow the animation is awesome at this point
Hope charmander is alive...
Ew no what's wrong with you!
Wait this is animated
Yea me too CHARMANDER LIVE GOD DAMNIT!!!!!
Facts
@@ResistARest no this is live action
butterfree: do not kill him
geodude: *proceeds to try to kill charmander*
It's Not Canon. He's A Protagonist.
You properly justified geodude's and golem's type
Exactly
to be honest, I'm not much into metal and other subgenres of rock, but ROCK SMASHER is a banger.
"rock music.HARD rock"
@@_marshP Hard rock is a subgenre of rock
RTOC what’s the song name????
I expected charmeleon this episode because of all the killing charmander did
But honestly for real though.
Charmander, at this point in time should at the very least be level 21.
If he started at level 7 which is when he gets a fire move, he's killed. At least 150 caterpie which at level 3 give 36 exp.
Most of these trained however, meaning theyre at most level 6, which give 54 exp.
So all in all, Charmander has killed at least 150 caterpie, kinda defeated a weedle, squirtle once, bulbasaur, that pidgeotto, a weepinbell (however you spell that) etc
The fact he hasn't evolved yet is insane.
The probs will evolve next episode.. To beat the catepie (how ever you spell it) thats why it ended.. Maybe
I did to
me too
Tbh I thought all those caterpies were gonna evolve squrtle(idk how to spell it forgive me) but I guess they didn't...
Screaming golbat is now the best character
Zavier Mafia everybody knows andrew is the best character the series was so bad before he came
I liked Beedrill
It reminds me of that one TFS pokemon leaf green Nuzlocke with the way they depicted grimer as always screaming.
Me too
Agreed
Shippidge: "so I need you to scream really loud."
VA: "ok. (Screams)
Shippidge: "Perfect!"
Jesus Christ, that Geodude song is the most epic thing I’ve ever seen.
True
I heard it and seen it
me to
That's why there was a whole video about it
It really *rocked.*
I’ll leave now.
10:04 It's not listening to her, she must have gotten it in a trade.
Gravlers only evolve through trade. The problem is she hasn't gotten enough gym badges so it won't listen to her.
Squirtle: You took so many innocent lives and all I did was stand there!
Also Squirtle: Charges at a group of Caterpie with a shiv, creates the plan to vaporize Hitmonchan, and the best of all...
"Screw empathy! There's a time and place for everything but not now, KICK HIS ASS"
Charmander's thoughts: it was self defense
Exactly
On Squirtle's defense:
He attacked the Caterpies in order to save Charmander and Bulbasaur. And I don't think anyone would have enough patience to do Weepinbell's stupid challenges. Although, you're point on the Hitmonchan incident was perfectly justified.
Jees Squirtle why do this to Charmander he did it to save you like this if agree
Joshua Tang Charmander felt bad for squirrel being captured so he tried to save squirtle
just realized yellow was a shiny caterpillar 💀
Ok, 18 minutes. Enough for me, and I believe I already cannot wait for episode 10!
By the way, Shippiddge, your way of animating has improved so much. Really smooth, and thank you for creating these :)
Will there be an episode 10 tho?
@@DarwinskiYT don't do that. Don't give me hope.
@@arthurmorgan8902 I believe so. Probably, the semi-protagonost Squirtle would get revenge or the protagonist, which is Charmander, would not be dead for reasons.
@@arthurmorgan8902 watch the entire video and you know it
“Have you ever had a friend before?”
“That’s kinda a mean question”
POUR ONE OUT FOR SANDSHREW Y’ALL
You mean Durtle.
@@ihopeyouhaveaniceday2520 you mean sandslash
Andrew
LOL as soon as I read this it said it in the video at the same time
I wish Sandshrew know how to fight.
Damn, Geodude’s song needs it’s own video, with the lyrics.
Damn right!!
Honestly this. I want to know what he's saying.
Yeah
I came into the comment section looking to see if anyone posted it
I understand half of what is said.
FACTS!
Once a harmless fun pokemon series turned into a ever saddening emotional rollercoaster
The thing that irritates me is that Squirtle really wants Charmander to be nice and normal, sure thats normal for everyone, but when Charmander is actually fully dying to Squirtle, He doesnt stop.
I dont think Squirtle is at fault, everyone is at fault, its just Squirtle is betraying his ideals by following Charmander's foot steps by assisting a murder.
Still, Episode 9 Is such a good episode.
I only see one flaw, what happened to that glitchy hitmonchan?
@@oof4077 Oh you mean missingno believe me he'll return when you least expect it
but I dont think squirtle thought the caterpie would actually kill charmander since they had a deal or something
So basically what I got from this episode was:
-Squirtle learned Bubble Beam.
-The music in this series is AWESOME.
-Charmander is (finally) become a better person/Pokémon.
-All Caterpie can burn and die in a fire.
-Bulbasaur is still the best character.
-Charmander is probably dead, but who knows, miracles can happen.
-The creator of this series had the power to perfectly add depressing moments, and made a perfect build up to the end.
I love this series.
I think the move squirtle used was water gun
@@chris07 oh true
I also learned that geodudes like to sing rock music
- Missingno is gonna play a part in the next episode due to the glitching at the very end of the video.
Perhaps charmander dies but he is revived by missingno taking his form? WHO KNOWS?
#5 is true
Charmander: I am willing to do whatever it takes to get squirtle back, even if it means risking all three of our lives.
Sandshrew: Well that’s reassuring.
Dirtle*
I'm all wet
Convenience? I think not.
@@UnJayOkay yup
@@inazumaprimex100 E
That Golbat had me crying from laughing 5:43
Now I see why it took so many months for this to come out. It’s 18 minutes long with lots of damn details.
totally worth the wait
nah he's just lazy af
Tru
@@potorius7877 well we should still appreciate the work he puts into this, this probably takes a long time to animate and put all the details and work into this, etc.
How cool would it be if charmander being close to death triggered his evolution and he becomes charmeleon
I was waiting for that but it didnt happen so disappointing
Agreed.
Same I was waiting to
Agree
(Spoilers)
So... I waited 2 years for a cliffhanger? Ok fine. at least the Geodude song was worth it
Thats true
YEAH WHAT THE HELL
Yeah
Ikr
No you waited *10* months
Making Geodude look bada$$ is nothing short of inspired. Well done!
Oh My Arceus a cliffhanger after like one year of hiatus wth
Have you ever had a friend before?
Thats a mean question
I bet the anwser was no
I am actually pretty amazed at not only the improved graphics but the way you're able to captivate us pokéfans with your own lore and storytelling in a matter of 19 mins, which is a hard task in itself for any media creators. A few Tv shows/movies now a days that have hired screen play writers with budgets sky high are about on par/below the standard you're pumping out on RUclips for free pretty much. I'd gladly wait a few years for the next episode, honestly its comparable to like a birthday/christmas present from a dear friend!! Anyway keep up the hard work and don't over work your self at this risk of your own health, you have plenty of fans that will wait for you unconditionally ❤️👍
That was kinda like GTA 5 last mission.
What the fuck is wrong with you charmander DIED
When you realize Charmander is Aggressive, Squirtle is Assertive, and Bulbasaur is Passive
Beedrill quickly became my favorite character and hes already dead. Eh, you win some you lose some I guess.
He’s voiced by kirbopher (Chris Niosi) too. Guess he got over the controversy over him lol
Wow
Guess Nidorina will have to do.
Goliath Xanatos What controversy?
Idk what your talking about I liked golbat
I just realized that the yellow caterpie is a shiny
Meh makes sense i mean i only knew it because im a dir- i mean obsess over the wiki i don't cheat
Oh my gosh, you’re right! I didn’t even make that connection until I read your comment!
Charmander dies at the end
Oh-oh yeah
Oh wow
Geodude song starts at 7:00
For everyone coming back to the video just for that lol
Lets try to get you to 69 likes
JechtsBankai MewsAlter 😭😭😭😭😿😿😿😿😭😭🥺😩

I wish Charmander didnt die, or maybe he'll come back to life in the future. I really wanted to see them all evolve
That Geodude did more damage to Charmander than Broly did to SSG Goku.
I think you mean Gogeta. Broly beat the shit out of Goku.
Geodude sucks
Oof
@@tavoknaza7086 that is what he said
The Cat Ninja how is charmander a face not scratched at all
Extremely impressive as always, but the Geodude metal part blew me away. I would honestly pay good money to hear a full version of that song on its own.
You can always use a mp3 converter for RUclips videos and then just chop off the beginning and end.
@@KindlingKatalyst He said full version, and i agree i thought it was an actual song before i saw the credits
@@FriendOfLegolas So this was made for this? That's genuinely amazing.
The Geodude part has to be my favorite
My favorite part too
All these comments and no one mentioned that *shiny* caterpie 🐛
Edit: my humble thanks for the each thumb up. You really only encounter this like once every 8192 videos.
It might be a member
DrawnByShaun i mean there is like 500 of them
You just did
I noticed it lol
I did
It's sad knowing that the catterpie turns into everything it hates. Just because catterpie and Squirtle didn't understand why Charmander did what he did.
Me seeing the ending: ”NO THATS THE END?! THAT CANT BE IT”
Me seeing the “to be continued”: OH THANK THE LORD
That made me drop tears :(
BE TRADER
See you in 2021
Anon E. Mous 2020 maybe April 2020 Idk
But missingno crashed the to be continued.
Butterfree: PLEASE do NOT kill him.
Geodude: (sings an entire song about killing him)
That’s some pure irony
And that song slapped
So true 😂
I know eavee will help charmander
Pls add her
she meant the geodude
7:00
Here's a free replay to Geodude's song, no need to like, just use it.
I love how it starts at 7

I think I'll like and reply just so more people can see it!
I like how it ends.
@@newenglandsun4394 lol me to but what about my shiny charmander
Rewatching this I feel like I need some more Golem action!
Can we admit golbat was alot more funny here than in the games
100%
FINALLY someone who appreciates the screaming Golbat!
_AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH_
@@abigailn8704 i wonder if hell be louder if he evolved.
Exactly my point, thats what makes crobat funny in this video
this is better drama than any tv show could ever hope to create
I agree
Why did you say that
Stranger things… imo made good drama like this
After all that fighting you would think Charmander would evolve. But he is extremely tough after getting up from a beating like that.
Actually, he should have. Charmander survived 3 tackles minimum from Nidorina followed by 6 water guns from Squirtle, which, given this takes place in gen 1 rules, means charmander is at least level 23.
I used to write my own pokemon series, and my main character was a Charmander with a genetic evolution disability. He had to wait until later levels to hit Charmeleon, and then somewhere in the 60s to become Charizard.
I used to think only I did this sort of thing, but looking at this Charmander now, he is either lowkey disadvantaged, or just EXTREMELY tough in stats for a low leveled Charmander.
@@lordkinesis4432 Or maybe killing Pokemons instead of making them faint actually increases your stats tenfold with diminishing the xp you get...
I always thought that he was going to evolve
It's up to the trainer if it evolves but they have no trainer so I guess it autos to not to evolve
16:28 we all thought charmander was just gonna evolve here and save himself.
Viewers:So how long do we have to wait again?
Shippiddge:
*Yes*
Almost a year of waiting but worth it.
Probably another year
Yeah it’s worth it
Defeat can you stop making unoriginal jokes
Can't wait for episode 10 in 2022
This is unironically becoming a really compelling story
Becoming? I think it already became that like an episode or two ago.
jeah , i am allredy happy for starter squad ep. 10 or s.2
no kidding, holy shit
I was hooked when he killed the trainer, I knew then it was gonna be worth watching.
True
That geodude song is fucking awesome, where can I find it?
Probably submerged under water XD
Rushgamer 0526 lol good one 😂
Same
Shut up charmander died
David _ i think it’s mettalica
10:05 Most hilarious part
In the end, I predict that the leader Caterpie would be absorbed by the Missing No.
I think the mewtwo from episode 8 will come.
I think it will happen in episode 10 and I think it’s gonna be the ending, starter squad sandslash and mewtwo vs missingno
My name is Gustavo, Gustavo
@@tahouin7852 he said that he is going to do 12 episodes but am not sure.
@@Giraffedoctor he comes and gets stabbed by Caterpie and be like "what do you think your doing,the video doesn't end like that.'
Oh, don’t mind me... just came here to take a break from laughing at that Golbat.
i died at that part
"Use...!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
Me too, I took me a while to stop.
I was obliterated
Him and Geodude really stole the show, man.
7:00 GOD DAMN I WISH EVERY POKÉMON INTRODUCED THEM SELVES LIKE
When I saw the great ball I knew that it meant trouble, but when they came out with his final form in the ultra ball, I thought "Aw c**p! We're dead!"
Dis is scary
Dragneel_ 17 damn
That only happens in the anime.
OoO new character models,
More refined animation
And the voice acting? top tier
noice. Simply amazing
