@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.
@@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.
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
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.

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.
@@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.
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 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
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
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.
BBoiiLite: LMFAO are you 11? You have no viewing comprehension. They didn't have a bond, Sandshrew literally had no reason to stay with Charmander so as soon as he matured (evolved) and felt like he could stand for himself, he left. It's that simple. Only Squirtle cared about Charmander enough to have a little faith he could help him change into a decent guy. Bulbasaur just doesn't give a shit in general (good for him though)
@@BBoiiLite You're a asshole yourself. Did you see how poor little Sandshrew is always bullied? And now as he grew stronger, he finally stood up for himself. You honestly seem like a bully in real life

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
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.
@@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.
To this day the way geo dude beats the breaks off of charmander is still so funny, like bro was getting cooked. And as brutal it was, it was kind of a reasonable crash out considering Geo dude seemed to seek vengeance for the ones who died
SAME I KEEP ON IMAGINING THERE FATES CHARMANDER IS TORN APART BULBASUAR DIES BECUZ OF CATERPIES EATING THE PLANT ON HIS BACK AND SQUIRTLE IS TRAING FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND EVOLVES TO BLASTOISE
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.
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.
indeed it god damn did . they are really packin their defenses . if they had found a secret way through the bedrock and build under it , they would probably be safe from diggers like sand shrew
So, here are some possible theories. Theory 1: Squirtle managed to step in between Charmander and Caterpie. Theory 2: Squirtle threw a PokéBall at Caterpie. Theory 3: Bulbasaur somehow managed to set himself free and rescued Charmander. Theory 4: According to the glitch ending, Hitmonchan and/or MissingNo. suddenly appeared between those two. I'm surprised how many people actually forgot about the disappearance of Hitmonchan, where his PokéBall got crashed while being transferred back into it. There even was a hint in a later episode that something will happen. Even if Charmander has a dark side on himself, the final situation actually made me sad anyway. I love the Starter Squad and I don't want to see anyone of them suffering like this. Also I loved the reappearance of Whiskers, it was a blast seeing her being evolved! Looking forward for the next episode, no matter how much time it'll take to wait! Keep up the great and stunning work!
Sure ain't Mewtwo coming in? I mean, he did kinda before when they went to the tower and all. Who's to say he won't again? Though you may be right about Glitchmon-chan. Seeing as he appeared in a few different places along the journey.
@@jeffreyhoon Oh right, I forgot about the thing that happened in Ep. 8, where Ghastly got emerged with MissingNo.-Hitmonchan and Mewtwo punched it back. You're right on that one, who knows if he won't come back again? Nevertheless, this ain't over yet.
Well, he did give them a chance to surrender and gave whiskers a chance to live. Ever since Flareon he's always given his opponents a way out in the end wether thay take it or not is up to them

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.
Charmander: brutally murders countless enemies and barley gets any exp for it
Sandshrew: throws sand in a worms eye and instantly evolved
Lazy Tortilla ikr it don’t make sense
since they're starter squad so they never evolve, I love charmeleon and I wish charmander evolves
Irony XD
Because sandshrew was using real attacks “Sand Attack” except for charmander, he just stabs them with sharp objects €_>

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.
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
The saddest part is how squrtle thought charmander wanted to evolve but he just wanted squrtle back😢
Fr
*Butterfree chooses Geodude*
Charmander: "Why do I hear boss music?"
Swifty Bet shut up it’s just one typo dumass
That's not Boss Music its Boss Singing!
Geodude song is awesome, does anyone know what it's called?
@@ronniewilliams5597 He really rocks.
I believe it's Rock Smasher. But now I wanna hear it without Geodude dying.
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
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
Shippidge: "so I need you to scream really loud."
VA: "ok. (Screams)
Shippidge: "Perfect!"
No wonder this took so long
That Geodude scene was just
Just so worth it.
Start of the video: "Thank you Shippidge you rock!"
End of the video: "Ohhhhhh I hate you SO MUCH!!!"
Fuck u have no mercy for charmander
Bruh i feel the same
Bru why tf does the lizard die
I hate when he died f u
i hope he fking evolve
The ending was more suspenseful that any Game of Thrones cliffhanger.
-Hollywood Insider
We not going to talk about how Sandshrew was digging for 2 years
The ending was so sad i was routing for charmander
You know, if Sandslash/Dirtle had stayed, he would've had a nasty advantage over Nidorina/Whiskers.
So is no one gonna talk about the geodude? Cause I felt his singing was amazing. Also why the cliff hanger?
Cuz hes evil
Wait till the the end of the credits
His song just reminded me of classic rock songs lol
Don’t forget; Mewtwo still needs them to defeat Missingno.
they literally take 2 years to make so I don't know why he made it a cliff hanger
*They didn't get Aliens. But at least they got something more Precious*
Bullet wounds.
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.
To this day the way geo dude beats the breaks off of charmander is still so funny, like bro was getting cooked. And as brutal it was, it was kind of a reasonable crash out considering Geo dude seemed to seek vengeance for the ones who died
Nobody else gonna talk about that butterfree wearing a metapod as armor
Where? Or... When?
Found it.
I thought it was costume
It was like a Togepi but non-canon. Does the Togepi die if you forcefully pull it out of its egg?
Dani Erdman ha
What if caterpie stabbed charmander in the chest and then charmander goes “You should have gone for the head!” And he evolves
Now THAT would be sickk
Agreed
But also plagiarism
I legit took the screenshot of this comment
Captain Cringe more like an amazing parody
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
just realized yellow was a shiny caterpillar 💀
I cannot express how much i want episode 10 now. There is no words.
SAME I KEEP ON IMAGINING THERE FATES CHARMANDER IS TORN APART BULBASUAR DIES BECUZ OF CATERPIES EATING THE PLANT ON HIS BACK AND SQUIRTLE IS TRAING FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND EVOLVES TO BLASTOISE
Thoughts on the episode
Yeah I want episode 10
@@rileyo8310 it came out
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.
This is sad
@@dinosaurlover4305 why??
God damn right
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.
Butterfree: don't kill him
Geodude: *rehearses a song about killing him*
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.
The line of plot twists is being jumped over by this every second
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.
It's basically the pokémon version of attack on titan.
I would call that an anti-hero
I second this! It's so well-written.
It took 2 years just to dig that hole.
TheFrozenFlame LOL
indeed it god damn did . they are really packin their defenses .
if they had found a secret way through the bedrock and build under it , they would probably be safe from diggers like sand shrew
Worth it
They probably had to mine some obsidian
Damn thats really to scale
So all rock Pokemon sing rock during their battles. I can dig it
I swear... if that's a pun ...
You did a great job
Verry funny joke boi
But dig is a ground type move
Still nice tho
@@brawlmars2091 all gen 1 rock pokemon are also ground Pokemon there is no only rock in gen 1 also everyone can learn dig
butterfree: do not kill him
geodude: *proceeds to try to kill charmander*
It's Not Canon. He's A Protagonist.
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
So, here are some possible theories.
Theory 1: Squirtle managed to step in between Charmander and Caterpie.
Theory 2: Squirtle threw a PokéBall at Caterpie.
Theory 3: Bulbasaur somehow managed to set himself free and rescued Charmander.
Theory 4: According to the glitch ending, Hitmonchan and/or MissingNo. suddenly appeared between those two.
I'm surprised how many people actually forgot about the disappearance of Hitmonchan, where his PokéBall got crashed while being transferred back into it. There even was a hint in a later episode that something will happen.
Even if Charmander has a dark side on himself, the final situation actually made me sad anyway. I love the Starter Squad and I don't want to see anyone of them suffering like this.
Also I loved the reappearance of Whiskers, it was a blast seeing her being evolved!
Looking forward for the next episode, no matter how much time it'll take to wait! Keep up the great and stunning work!
Sure ain't Mewtwo coming in? I mean, he did kinda before when they went to the tower and all. Who's to say he won't again?
Though you may be right about Glitchmon-chan. Seeing as he appeared in a few different places along the journey.
The next episode will come in a year
I dont want to see when squirtle catches charmander :(
@@jeffreyhoon
Oh right, I forgot about the thing that happened in Ep. 8, where Ghastly got emerged with MissingNo.-Hitmonchan and Mewtwo punched it back. You're right on that one, who knows if he won't come back again? Nevertheless, this ain't over yet.
I think it's the missing No theory
Mostly because at 18:30 the title starts glitching
Lol, everyone is so emotionally attatched to a fictional mass murderer.
Well, people also love Carl from Llamas with Hats, so it's not unheard of lol
but actually, it's funny
That’s how good story telling works.
Well, he did give them a chance to surrender and gave whiskers a chance to live. Ever since Flareon he's always given his opponents a way out in the end wether thay take it or not is up to them
People get attached to real mass murderers

Nope it 2
Same
Oh my god. The ending.
We have 1 year to ponder if he died or not
Butterfree: Don't Kill Him
Geodude: No, I don't think I will.
Wholesome Mapper yes, I do think I will
Wholesome Mapper he said I will end your life tho
@@CaIamityy Geodude is Disagreeing of what butterfree said.
Wholesome Mapper lol
Geodude: Instead, I will end up being outsmarted by him and getting killed. (Sorry for spoilers but why are you here reading this before you watch?)
9:55 I kid you not after Golem came out and made that face I thought it was all over for our boy Charmander! LOL
CaptainDre I thought he was just gonna headbutt golem back into the water but ok
GOLEMS EYES IS FUNNY
I wish Charmander didnt die, or maybe he'll come back to life in the future. I really wanted to see them all evolve
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!!!!!

See you in 2021
Anon E. Mous 2020 maybe April 2020 Idk

Sorry these puns have been drilled into my head.
Now that was racist
That Golbat had me crying from laughing 5:43
We waited for so long to see the starter squad only to be left with an awesome/ heart stopping cliffhanger?? 😢😢😢😢
I think Squirtle is going to grab Caterpie before she or he can kill Charmander and Squirtle kills the Caterpie.
Wait... it’s a cliffhanger!?
@@lardlover3730 yes
CALUM 2k7 ahhh that sucks. But at least it means the next episode will be worth the wait. Hopefully.

I think Nidorina took the blow for charmander. Especially after hearing her trainer say to kill her.
yea i bet that too
Bobcat 316 I think maybe sandshrew
Ye
You mean Sandslash.
@@yellowcaballerofan110
No, Durtle
16:28 we all thought charmander was just gonna evolve here and save himself.
Oh I get it. Rock types sing rock music. Clever.
I feel like it was more Norwegian death metal. Especially how golem finishes the song
Bobby Smiles also rock is strong against fire types or where they called ground types
That song wasn´t rock in the slightest, that was straight up metal lmao
He should sing "Rock you like a hurricane" but Vegeta already did it.
I am so glad I'm not the only one who got that.
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
Me: Rest In Peace charmander
Caterpie: this is for Pablo
Me: uses revive on charmander
Caterpie :O charmander REEEE Caterpie AHHHHH
Mewtwo will revive charmander, missingno will absorb caterpie and the final battle will begin, the starter squad, sandslash and mewtwo vs missingno
Me: *evolves* who's killing who here?
@@tahouin7852 His name is Dirtle.
Charmander better be alive the next episode huh
Omg i love your videos I just watch two but I’m going to watch more 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
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
Geodude in actual Pokémon: hurr durr
Geodude in this: So you have chosen... *death*
Sir meows alot :O
I love jo
Golem in actual Pokémon: Self Destruct
Golem in this: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

When you realize Charmander is Aggressive, Squirtle is Assertive, and Bulbasaur is Passive
