Pokemon Regional Retrospective: Johto ~ Gold/Crystal/Soulsilver 

*nostalgia.. membaberries*

@@kmdreactsjust finished replaying Crystal and can confirm it’s better than any of the Switch Pokemon games.

They'll never understand it

@@MIBxSpartan bro, I'd play D&P with its 10,000 HMs and slow battle mechanics over any Switch Pokemon game... And I haven't played any, nor do I intend to.

Seriously, I was so obsessed with that generation, and the smooth, metallic cover of the Johto handbook was immensely satisfying.

I know exactly what you mean, I didn't grow up with the orignals but whenever I play them or a fan game in that style I get a rush of nostalgia for a time long gone. Not entirely how or why, but if had to guess it's that simplistic colorful look that's so easy on the eyes. Rustic is the perfect word for it 👌

Thank you so much! I will gladly be your based and ALWAYS 100% correct echo chamber! 🗣📣

The ruins of alph is basically a real place.

I was gonna add, I think Ho-Oh is based on Ameterasu and Lugia on Susanoo. Plus Ho-Oh gives new life to the dead beast trio, while Lugia is connected to the older, last gen, legendary birds.

Thank you so much! Also, yeah, I kept thinking about it's an anagram suicune and I couldn't help but pronounce it similar 😅

When I was in 3rd grade everyone said I had a crush on Lanette so I know what you mean. In reality though, I was just autistic and when words or names got stuck in my head I made it EVERYONE'S problem.

Also, looking at your channel, I see you've done some Metroid vids! Was just curious if there was a Metroid Fusion vid in the works?👀

​@fletcherrobinson3452 there is a video on it but it's kinda old. I wanted to do a new version, but I was going to do the prime series first then go back...least that was the plan til my wii u bricked. So for now that plan is on hold, least til I figure out another way to record prime footage.

@@Chubby_Bubby I gotcha! I'll try to look back and find it. Fusion is one of my favorite games of all time so I'd love to hear your commentary on it! The prime trilogy would be dope too! Any Metroid content is good in my book lmao. You could at the very least do the Prime 1 retrospective with footage of the switch remaster. Just a thought🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you! And I've totally been in your shoes, idk how many time I've rewatched clone wars and baki just so I can rest 😅

Hell yeah! I love the nicknames for the team, I'm so lucky I've kept my first copy of diamond in working condition over the years. Sadly my Red DS lite is gone but, I replaced it with a blue and it's amazing to play that game like that....damn now I got to do that asap!ASAP! Edit: Also I love using mons I never had before. Seeing how to fit them into a team is imo the best part of replays.

Ah. The realization that Johto’s foundation relies heavily on Kanto hit me like a ton of bricks…. It’s my favorite region and I wish they did more stand alone stuff with it. But I understand why GF wanted to tie it together with Kanto. It’s a sequel first and foremost. Maybe we’ll get legends Johto in 2027.

I'm sure we'll get some sort of new Johto game in the future. But if it's any sort of remake, then it will need to have kanto glued to its hip. Unova is in a similar spot, with how story driven it is I think that they'll have to always remake both games instead of one over the other. Even if it's legends kyruem or BW3, it will directly tie to both of those preesstablished games. Which is a big reason they skipped to XY for ZA in my opinion.(Though it still to tbs if XY get any sort of remaster or if this new game will have little to no plot significance to XY)

Ooo now that's a compliment! It reminds of a time I played duel links and I was getting molly whooped by a really good player but his internet cut out mid match. So I said in my perfect kariba impression "Your a 1st rate duelist with a 4th rate internet connection!" lol I thought that was hilarious but my mokuba brother was unamused.....

Poor Lance needed his DRAGONITES so much he had to chest them in to get them early.... you hate to see corruption in the modern league these days 😔

I know nothing about Icy Tea, but Milo's has been a saving grace these last few years! A true light in the ever expanding darkness!!! And the lemonade tea mix 🤤 10/10

I lowkey wish those Tomagachi styled games were still huge when I was in school. I mean we sorta had them but it was just Talking Tom and Pocket God, less nurturing a beloved creature and more causing untold suffering to them instead....It was pretty fun tho :)

@@Chubby_Bubby tbf no one else had the weeby ones like I did, everyone else had the actual tamagotchis. Though my school banned them, meaning your pet would likely die while at school. At least the Pikachu and Digimon couldn't die. Those came out as I was entering college so they never really appealed to me but I can see the appeal to a younger generation. Most kids in my school brought in their GB/C/A/SP to school so we'd usually battle and trade at lunch. We also had the usual fads like everyone having Beyblades, or Yugioh cards or Pokemon cards, then their were Pokemon and YGO stax and Crazy Bones. Getting me all nostalgic! But the one constant was always the Pokemon games.

Man, the Digimon Vpets esp were on the best things ever. Still have a few of them even. One actually I keep alive even now. I had an orange digivice on my belt always too. Though when you're walking near roads you could never hear it beep, so missed so many battles and did no doubt way worse with it than otherwise. The pocket Pikachu was awesome, but I remember it not doing as huge amount as the Digimon ones overall. Our school 'tried' banning tamagotchi, but I ran a babysitting service for my class, so a load in my pockets over the day. Only got confiscated twice, not bad odds, not bad. The 90s were so dang good. *Insert old person*: Kids don't know what they're missing these days.

@@SombreroPharoah oh my god the amount of battles I must've missed too. I wish I still had mine, I had a blue clear D1, both Red & Blue D2s + the D-Terminal, a Red D3, and a Red D4. I remember battling myself a lot at home with the D2s. I'd add a new Digivice to my belt every new series. I miss the 90s and early 00s, kids really are missing out. Yeah the pocket Pikachu had like a blackjack mini game, a higher or lower game, "feeding" him even though he never actually got hungry, a step meter, and a couple other screens. Pikachu would also encounter things at different step counts, and would sleep at night as it kept time too. That's all I can really remember about it but yeah had far less features than the Digivices. I had the OG Pokédex as well. Also that's pretty cool, being the care taker of so many tamagotchi's. The hero they needed! Only getting busted twice ain't bad at all! Closest role I had like that was being the kid who could repair Beyblades because I carried tools and super glue, so whenever anyone's blade broke or launcher got jammed, they'd come to me.

Now you’re a cool Radey-Boy

In the words of the gen 9 rival "Pokemon, am I right?" 😃

That's the plan!

ive run into a legit shiny once, and i never ran into pokerus that wasnt hacked in
