You know for a kids game the lore is surprisingly dark... They literally acknowledge multiple disasters throughout history where millions of people died, and go out of their way to NOT change it.
somehow i think thats a good thing. it makes these horrible events digestible for kids without “cleaning up” and filtering out any specific parts but important parts. it also got me interested in history and mythology!
Well of course they don't, you can't risk having the timeline get screwed over because of some ship sinking. And God knows how the world would look like if there were no world wars (i'm really sorry but you get the point) There's a risk the world would've been much worse.
The only islands I completed were time warp, 24 carrot, and early Poptropica island. But I was lucky enough to play a bit of big Nate Island before it was taken down along with diary of a wimpy kid.
A game that not only taught us, but also challenged us to problem solve. We need more games like this, it’s so sad that children these days are on social media instead of playing.
Remember when that Olypmic Games Island rose out of the sea for the summer (2012 iirc) and sank back down? A year or two later it rose up again and stayed that way.
Poptropica gameplay: it sure is fun jumping around the island and helping people with their problems. Poptropica lore: dead parents, murder, apathy in the face of genocide, and the inevitable unraveling of an already fragile space time continuum
Can we please talk about how on Shrink Ray Island the kid whose room you’re in just kinda has a toy of *the* Poptropica blimp, of which there is canonically only one, so this is a toy of *your* specific blimp, even if Shrink Ray is your first island. Also, after you get shrunk down, you can use the blimp as a blimp and just kinda leave and you go back to full scale and from there you can even redo the annoying bad terrible tutorial they added and get a new real blimp and bring it back to the island and so now that kid just owns a real actual blimp. This has bothered me since I was a kid.
Sometimes choopo says he likes reading, other times he says reading sucks, some people may find this an inconsistency, but I think this just means that choopo's clone escaped his laboratory from that one video and now lives in choopo's walls and sometimes he sneakily takes choopo's place in videos
I mean, it really depends on the book. Does it match your tastes? It's f-cking great then! It doesn't? Well too bad, reading it sucks. I picked one book to perhaps expand my taste in litterature and reading it halfway through completly sucked. That wasn't because the book was bad but bc it was a genre i'm not used to.
I remember playing Time Tangled island all the time, definitely was my favorite out of them. Also, didn't realize how much lore the books put into explaining everything, and somehow has a superior version of the TVA.
as a big long-time fan of Poptropica, this made me so happy!! ❤ although the game/fanbase has seen better days, it still holds a lot of sentimental value to me and i enjoy making content for this niche community, as well as seeing fun vids like this! definitely would love to see more on some of the islands you didn’t mention much, like Survival, Monster Carnival, etc and perhaps more of the villains! :) oh yeah it’s also worth mentioning that in 2017, i was granted beta testing access to Poptropica Worlds and i’m considered a VIP (very important Poptropican) 🌟
That’s so awesome!! It kills me that flash is dead and they never found a proper replacement that could support the larger chunk of now missing content. I know I just sound over-nostalgic maybe, but I really would love a massive comeback of the old games like Poptropica, Webkinz, Club Penguin etc. we absolutely have the tech and capabilities, and the love for these IP’s is still clearly there 😭
@@Carolina-761hyou can with a program called Flashpoint. The app archives all the old flash games such as the papas series and poptropica. Trust me, it has a LOT of games. Definitely worth checking out. I recently downloaded it and completed all the og islands that I could never complete when I was young. Look at their wiki to see the installation process.
This game used to be my childhood along with animal jam. I also remember that I spent a lot of time just replaying the same island over and over and eventually looked up guides for new islands (because I got bored). Sad that you can't really visit your friends in the game like you could in animal jam. I think you needed to actually buy your own lobby to do that. I also had the Poptropica DS game only to unlock that clothing set, I then sold it to a second hand game store. Kinda regret it.
I remember playing this as a kid on the school laptops. It was the only thing we could play on those things. I remember everyone working together to get through the islands whenever we had free time or the teachers left the room
I loved Poptropica when I was a kid so I recently logged back onto my old account only to discover that on the free website version, they got rid of like all of the good islands: Vampire’s Curse, Skullduggery, Monster Carnival, Mystery Train, Ghost Story, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, etc. I really miss them. RIP
i loved this game as a kid. my favorites, that i remember, were shrink ray island, the diary of a wimpy kid island(s?), time travel island, and superhero island. i very very vaguely remember playing big nate island on my computer.
I've only played Poptropica once or twice in my life and forgot about its existence. Always here for the crazy story/lore behind discontinued kids mmo games👌 EDIT: Yes, I'm aware the game is still up lol
I was *obsessed* with Poptropica when I was like 9 and this video made me redownload the game! Big Nate island is the one that I have remembered somewhat more consistently. I LOVED that one. Same with Mystery Train. Gahhhhh I miss the old islands 😭
i played the big nate and wimpy kid islands when they still existed, all i remember is that you blow a bubblegum bubble to get in detention in the big nate island and there's a minigame where you have to eat some nasty food without getting sick in the wimpy kid island
24 Carrot Island was one of the first Islands I finished in the Poptropica series (not sure if its the browser or flash version) and this video brings nostalgia Edit: I think I might play Poptropica again Edit 2: Nevermind, just read the reviews on Steam and if the old islands are not there then ain't gonna play
I was absolutely not expecting the lore to go that hard in the comics. There was so... much. XD Great video, dude! I had a blast watching! Your humor is next level! Hope you take care and have a great day, Mr. President, Sir!
I played poptropica when i was young idk what years exactly but probably 2008-2011. it was so simple lol, i had no idea they made books or anything. it was so fun in the early days
@@DyingSunberry There was an official-looking Discord post being circulated that said the game was shutting down, but it seems to have been a hoax- the Poptropica Twitter account confirmed the game isn't shutting down a couple days later
This was a good trip down memory lane. I have so many fond memories plying this game. I hope they'll re-release a definitive version of the game with all the content.
dude the music in this game gives me so much nostalgia it makes me so happy 😭 also honestly same pelican rock was one of the ones i played over and over again
The time is 12:41 am. I'm scrolling through my RUclips home page attempting to find a video to fall asleep to, and I find this gem. Instead of letting my body drift into peaceful slumber, I decide to watch this video. The time was well spent. I love lore
I’m so excited to see you cover poptropica!!! 😭 Keep up the awesome content! If you want a fun history of to cover then you should try covering the sonic lore (Archie or the games) because everything is canon apparently, including the shows SO- as a sub special, it could be really fun! If not, I totally get it because omfg it’s….a trip. Same with Kingdom Hearts. 😥
I would like to inform you of Flashpoint Archive, where you can play old flash Poptropica entirely for free and it has Big Nate Island. Just know that the loading screens are kinda long.
Poptropica was literally my childhood! Also unrelated but I think your voice kind of sounds like Yakko from the old Animaniacs and that just increases the nostalgia ❤️
I’m so so happy someone finally made a video about my favorite game ever. I got Poptropica gift cards for like 6 birthdays in a row just to get new outfits
This was the most confused and least understood I have been on a Choopo lore video ever. But Choopo’s also President now, so good for him. I certainly would have voted for him if we knew how he got where he is. I bet it has something to do with saving Balloon Boy.
I don't know if you take suggestions, but I would definitely recommend making a video about _Cookie Clicker._ There's a lot of really DEEP and disturbing lore in the game that most people don't even seem to know about, and it would very much fit your style! :D
12:48 uh yeah… about that. WWI is confirmed in canon. You didn’t mention them, but there is a character who flies a specific kind of plane used by the German military during the war. Also there’s a fairy tale island with an evil Queen who is kinda crazy and trying to control the galaxy. She specifically mentions the Astro knights as well. Soooooo that throws a big wrench in the timeline, I think.
That part about his girlfriend having to die in pompeii doesn't even make sense. She isn't an important historical figure, she doesn't die in a way that affect history, she is literally one of the masses that gets killed in pompeii. Why would it be an issue if she lived? Just take her out before her death to the future, then she can't affect the past and history literally would remain un-affected by her either way. I mean, heck, that is the way you could literally save every single person in existence. Just take them out right before they die, and bring them to modern day. Done.
I miss existing

poptropica having a kill count is not what i expected, anyway… mythology and monster carnival were my favorite islands
You clearly didn’t play the Survival island where you’re literally hunted for sport 💀
My fav was the myth one and that game show one
@@screenedat0mthe adrenaline when you got close to the end and rage when you didn’t make it. We earned that title!!
I loved when you found an alien ship at the bottom of the sea and get terrorized in the third part by a mutant fish
i lovedddd mythology island!!
The crazy thing is that Greg Heffley and Snoopy are canonically in Poptropica.
Also Skullduggery Island was legit the most fun island
Spy island
The only islands I completed were time warp, 24 carrot, and early Poptropica island. But I was lucky enough to play a bit of big Nate Island before it was taken down along with diary of a wimpy kid.
I liked mall security 😭
The author of Wimpy Kid made the game
Counterfeit was so fun for me
There are two type of people.
1) People who see Albert Einstein as a Poptropica Character
2) Those who see ThinkNoodles
There is no inbetween
Literally what I was going to the comments for! Got so excited lmao
That guy was my hero in 2013
The same man who makes the banban makes the skibidi
He was my youtube video and it was in fact a road to captain thinknoodles video
YEAH
Unironically, I’ve been curious about Poptropica lore for years, nostalgia hits hard
Same!!! It’s like living a fever dream watching this video 😭
Same here!!
I would legitimately pay to play the old poptropica again, it was my favorite as a kid
try flashpoint
It’s 19.99 on steam lol
@@Th0ruck doesnt have the old islands that he mentioned
Same
A game that not only taught us, but also challenged us to problem solve. We need more games like this, it’s so sad that children these days are on social media instead of playing.
right!

I still play Poptropica! It's so fun to play.

which one hates reading? choopo or the clone?
I mean, it really depends on the book. Does it match your tastes? It's f-cking great then! It doesn't? Well too bad, reading it sucks.
I picked one book to perhaps expand my taste in litterature and reading it halfway through completly sucked. That wasn't because the book was bad but bc it was a genre i'm not used to.
As an avid reader, it's very accurate to switch between "reading sucks" and "reading is the best thing ever"
The Greek island and the Superhero island will forever be trapped in my memory
Yasss THISSS
I remember playing Time Tangled island all the time, definitely was my favorite out of them. Also, didn't realize how much lore the books put into explaining everything, and somehow has a superior version of the TVA.
I haven't played Poptropica in over a decade, so this lore is completely news to me.
You can play the flash version of poptropica with Flashpoint Infinity!! I use it to play poptropica, emily's delicous, diner dash and the papa's games
that program is so good it was surreal playing Penguin Dinner after like 14 years
Thanks!! I’ve been missing Poptropica so much

oh yeah it’s also worth mentioning that in 2017, i was granted beta testing access to Poptropica Worlds and i’m considered a VIP (very important Poptropican) 🌟
actually really cool that you were(/are) such a big fan of the series that they noticed and brought you onto the team !!

Me: woo! A topic i know about. I loved Poptropica as a kid!
Choopo: so im gonna start with the books.
Me: the *WHAT--*
I didn’t know Poptropica’s history was so rich- those graphic novels are interesting! I only remember playing during elementary school.
Poptropica was soooo good. I remember playing it in the 5th grade when we had free play. I miss those days 😢
I would do anything to play peak og poptropica today

EDIT: Yes, I'm aware the game is still up lol
It's not disconnected, game still up and is getting new islands
It's not discontinued. The game's still up, and it's even getting new islands.
It remains connected; the game is still active and receiving additions in the form of new islands.
I wonder if I could still play it with my old account. I stopped playing it around the time flash closed.
bad news: theyve recently removed the membership subscription and everything is now free to play. i worry that its on its way out ☹️
RIP Skullduggery island the only island that had multiple islands within it in which everyone was a pirate 🫶🏾

So glad you had Milk guest star on this episode!

At time of creation, this video cannot be over due to the fact it’s been only 13 minutes, but god I Love this video.
18:17 the idea of Poptropica was created (and to my knowledge, owned) by Jeff Kinney, so therefore Greg Heffley can be canon.
I didn’t imagine this game would still be alive after I played it 8 years ago
This was the most confused and least understood I have been on a Choopo lore video ever.
But Choopo’s also President now, so good for him. I certainly would have voted for him if we knew how he got where he is. I bet it has something to do with saving Balloon Boy.
All the Poptropica islands are available on blue Maxima's flashpoint archive!! You can play big Nate Island still
Bro this man needs millions of subs it makes me mad when I see channels that don’t have enough subs that they deserve for what they do man that you.

Man Early Poptropica and Shark Tale were fun. I have great memories with the jet pack.
this video cured my sickness that i had
As a dumb child I didn’t bother with any of the actual game and just annoyed other players until they left the server
I used to play Poptropica all the time, I loved it so much. I still have the official guide book with tutorials on all the original islands.
the foreshadowing that zeus is dr jupiter is pretty out there once u realize that zeus in roman mythology is named Jupiter
I love Mythology Island. The underworld boat ride was a pain though....
People may have came here to learn more about this series, but hearing Rocket Ski Jump was the best part of this video.
We need a Between the Lions video now.
