The Pokemon anime and games are probably the two biggest pillars of the Pokemon series, and while most of the time they both do their own separate thing, they will reference one another on occasion! In today's video, I am going to be highlighting 25 times the Pokemon games referenced the anime, including a bunch you probably don't know about!

Surprised you didn't mention that the entire reason Pokemon Yellow only lets you catch Caterpie and not Weedle is in homage to how that stupid bug-catching samurai messed up Ash's attempt to catch a Weedle in the anime.

What I don't know how he didn't mention was Red's HG/SS Team being a reference to Ash's Team through the Orange Islands.

@elijahpadilla5083 2 года назад

@@MateulizGameplay Because Red's team composition is also, famously, based on Pokémon the player is forced into contact with in R/B/G/Y. The four total starters available in Gen 1, given Pikachu is your starter in Yellow, plus all three Kanto starters. Snorlax, who roadblocks the player regardless, and must be awakened with the Poké Flute. In G/S/C, Espeon, the gift Eevee. In HG/SS, Lapras, the gift Pokémon you can get your hands on right before taking on Giovanni. I assume they switched from Espeon to Lapras to not presume what the player might have evolved Eevee into, which also explains the lack of a Fossil or Hitmon, the other potential gift Pokémon; they require the player making an active choice in which Pokémon to pick.

@@Alexdluffy2451 This was for Pokémon Yellow, which took massive inspiration from the anime, which already is loosely based off of the games to begin with. It's the whole reason why your starter in Yellow is a Pikachu and you can pick up a Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle at roughly similar points that Ash did in the anime, as well as why there are wild Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest.

@justinarney3050 3 года назад

Yeah the anime and the games are definitely not "one in the same". I mean its quite clear that the anime and games are separate/alternate universes. Now there could be "an Ash" in the games who has a pikachu but it wouldnt be the same Ash from the anime kind of like how the new Movie Ash isnt the same character from the main show. (or Ash in the manga)

@missplayer30 3 года назад

I wonder how long until Gamefreak is gonna add Ash himself into the core games. Or even Pokemon Masters. I mean they did put his Greninja into the game (Heck, it's also called Ash-Greninja too), by doing so, they just opened a floodgate. Apparently, Ash and Red can in fact coexist in the same universe. All this time I thought they were supposed to be stand-in to each other's (Not quite the same characters tho) universe.

(To be fair, seeing how no one reacted to his obviously evilness, I wouldn't be surprised)... wait what was I talking about again...?
