Nintendo - Pokémon Direct 1.8.2013 

RU-vid: We know a direct is coming tomorrow, but don’t you want to see this Pokémon direct from many years ago while you wait?

Who else got this direct randomly recommended them.

I miss it when Iwata would usually appear for Direct, especially his terrific English-speaking skills. Hope you’re happy up there, friend.

Me: "Why is dis being recommended to me 8 years later?" >Open video. >"Hi! This is Iwata from Nintendo" >Cries

RU-vid in 2020: yeah let’s recommend this now

People: Why is this on my recommended? People 10 months ago: First time?

Came here after the Legends Z-A reveal. Still miss him so much bros 😢.

Hey guys I'm from the future, Sinnoh remakes are a thing

"oh man the memories..." *Sees Iwata* "Oh... man ;-;"

Why...? Why is this in my recommendations now? I almost thought it was legit for this year... but then I saw 2013.

Can’t believe this is 8 years old, came out just when I got into Pokémon and lead to my first ever games being x and y (alongside black and white). And man RIP Iwata, a legend and the best man to hit Nintendo imo.

Iwata : "I would appreciate it if you stayed with us until the end" Me: ah yes now I cry

I remember watching this and being so excited about a simultaneous release, its crazy to think that is the norm now. Imagine a world where Sword and Shield were released in November in Japan, and the rest of the world had to wait until April at the earliest to get their hands on it! This was a great direct, rest in peace Mr. Iwata.

OMGGG I CANNTTTT WAIT FOR THIS NEW X and Y game OMGGGG

Oh look! This is being recommended to me 8 years later!!!!!

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. I still remember watching this for the first time on that day.

“They want a January Direct. Put it in their recommended”

I feel sad seeing him. And he’s really good at speaking English. :(. Rest In Peace Mr. Iwata

I remember watching this with my brother in the kitchen early in the morning before school back in sophomore year. The moment we saw Chespin in that 3D battle our minds were absolutely blown. October 2013 was a golden age of everyone having their 3DS everywhere. I miss Iwata. The Wii U/3DS era was better than we gave it credit for.

WHO’S READY FOR POKÉMON LEGENDS Z-A

I can't believe it's been exactly 3 years... feels like yesterday... R.I.P. Iwata!

He learned English just for us :')

10 years ago to this day this was broadcasted and we entered a new era of pokemon.

Me: Sees a Nintendo Direct from 2013. Also Me: Stays for Satoru Iwata By the way, who's cutting onions???

“Why was this recommended to me???” Iwata: Hi “... I guess I will just need to stay and watch for him”

thank you youtube recommended, but you’re quite a few years late

i still remember watching this on the 3ds eshop ;_; knowing this was 10 years ago now, and seeing iwata on top of that. man, this hits hard.

Pokémon direct from 2013: *Exists* RU-vid recommendations in 2021: “Perfect”

Wtf why did this pop up? I thought for a second that Gen 8 was announced.:/

Anyone here after the direct in 2020. How was this on my recommended?!

I watched this like it was being announced just now. Still fresh. Shows the power of the series and the place it has in our hearts to still feel so relevant

I miss you a lot Mr. Iwata :(( Rest in peace

It’s already been 6 years... r.i.p. Iwata-san

Dude wooloo is so cute! Wait

I miss you Iwata

8 years ❤️ how I miss Mr.Iwata u.u I was so hyped back that day!!!

These were much simpler times. Iwata was still alive, Masuda wasn’t getting sent death threats, and everyone was happy.

Anyone here after Sword & Shield announcement?

Pokémon: -announces sword and shield DLC- RU-vid: “hey, wanna see something cooler?”

10 years... I can't believe it!

We will miss you Iwata. :[

Me: Why's this old direct in my...*sees Iwata Me: I miss him so much man (ㄒoㄒ)

I got this in my recommendations,and I want to thank Mr. Iwata for all he's done for us, even outside of Pokemon. Sadly he has passed away, however I'll continue to respect and cherish what he has left with us. Thank you Mr. Iwata :)

10 years ago was the beginning of a brand new Pokemon world being revealed 10 years ago I went to the midnight launch of Pokemon X & Y at Nintendo NYC and it holds a lot of great memories from that night that I still cherish to this day and I thank my friends both new and old for being part of history that night Pokemon Y was the game that I picked up and it took me a week to beat the game and I enjoyed it a lot Mega Evolution remains my favorite evolution to this day and I wish it can be brought back in the newest main series At least I can mega evolve Pokemon in Pokemon Go

RU-vid: Recommends something 7 years ago. Me: Why? RU-vid: We know you're gonna watch it anyways.

Everyone: Why is this in my recommendations? Me: Iwata :'(

I remember being so excited that Pokemon was finally moving over to 3D models... Now I miss the pixel sprites 🤓😔

Weird to have this recommended 8 years later but I'll stay for Iwata

He was the most human and down to earth CEO that no other company in any industry will ever have. R.I.P Mr Iwata . We 'll never forget you 😢

Whose here the day before the next Pokémon direct ?

My heart sank when I saw Iwata again. Seeing him was always such a nice feeling, he was such an inspiration. RIP legend.

This was the first video I saw of Iwata ever. In just this one video he was able to bring joy to so many people on the planet. Thank you Iwata for being so direct.

Its find it admirable how much Iwata tried to speak English. Its not perfect, but it really is as if he spoke directly to us...

Weird how after an entire year later, it seems how we're all back together again for the new Diamond and Pear- Pokemon X&Y games!

Satoru Iwata Its been 6 years now.. R.i.p🙏🏻

It's been 6 years?! Dayum, I remember in 2012 and 2013 we were hyping for Generation 6. Now we're hyping for Generation 8! *EIGHT!*

This legit gives me memories. I've played every gen since I was like 13. The way the games have changed and how we've played them have brought smile upon my face

the algorithm has called us back

I can't believe its been 8 years...

This was the best direct in history, R.I.P Mr. Iwata :(

Directs will never, never, never be the same. Rest in peace.

I remember watching this for the first time and being so happy. I remember wanting fennikin but ended up with chespin for my starter lol.

Me: Start the video RU-vid randomly recommended just for nostalgia "Iwata appears on screen" Me:"cries in 2015"

This randomly came up in my recommended and DANG this brings back memories... how was 2013 7 years ago? Time moves too quickly. Hard to believe Mr. Iwata has been gone nearly 5 years, also. R.I.P. to the G.O.A.T. of video games.

Welp... today is the aniversary of direct... I still miss iwata...

The fact that this announcement is officially 10 years old makes me feel like I've aged 20 years, especially with Iwata being in this direct.

I missed you Mr Iwata. Since when you went home Pokémon and animal crossing were never the same again we should’ve appreciate with what we had before it was gone😢😭😿

It's going to be really weird seeing someone else present this year's direct. R.I.P Iwata

Rest in Peace Satoru Iwata.... you will be missed

I miss Iwata and the excitement I felt I these games

happy ten years everyone

Who's watching this to hype up before the direct on Friday?

so I guess everyone got recommended this... *memories*

Seeing Iwata again almost made me cry. It's been so many years since I saw this direct.

I’m glad this was recommended to me, so that I can see and hear Iwata again. We miss you!

I'm not even old but this makes me feel old :(

im crying so much if only i knew he had a huge roll in pokemon red and blue and literaly single handedly saved hal. he will forever hold a huge place in my heart

This was LITERALLY 7 years ago and now everyday from 2019 November to Now it’s being suggested to me.

10th anniversary. So crazy

RU-vid: Hey, let’s recommend a 7 year old Pokémon direct instead of the new one!!

I can feel the hype as if it was just yesterday

Why did this get recommended to me after 8 years?!

The hype season for XY was something beautiful man. Every pokemon fan was excited for these games.

lol why is this in my recomended

can't belive it's been 4 years

this got randomly recommended to me and it's making me emotional... rip iwata :(

Anyone got this recommend in 2021 after the Pokemon presentation? Or is it just me?

Thank you Nintendo for reminding of Iwata

Clicked on this after watching the announcement for U-Sun/U-Moon. Saw Iwata. Immediately produced tears.

Don't know why this was recommended to me in 2021 but wow this one is nostalgic. I remember how excited I was for X and Y.

Recommended this randomly and already more hyped reminiscing on this game than I was during the 2021 Direct...

R.I.P

AND NOW... POKEMON SWORD AND POKEMON SHIELD... RIP SOCIAL LIFE 2019-2020

RIP Iwata, you were a part of my Nintendo memories.

I miss Iwata a lot, he was the kindest and most memorable president Nintendo ever had... R.I.P

RIP Mr. Iwata

Nobody: RU-vid algorithm: I want you to feel old

Omg RU-vid literally do a throwback. I still rmb how amazed and hyped up I was when I saw this 3D edition. 😍

Thought this direct was recent until I saw Satoru Iwata❤️ RIP we’re all so thankful for everything you did for nintendo😭

Its 2020 and this was in my feed lol R.I.P Mr Iwata ❤
