Finally, someone has the courage to speak up about fat Pikachu, i enjoy both designs but this one is favorite. Thank you for the video, i just subbed so good luck.
I bet if you did a long-form video about all the formerly-fat gaming mascots, it would go pretty hard. Bc now that I think about it, we got Pikachu, Sonic, Eggman, Kirby, Mario, maybe more - all used to be fatter in the concept art, before they slimmed down in the late 90’s & early 2000’s redesigns and renders. I’d watch that. Probably twice tbh.
Great vid! The only thing I would add is cited sources for the quotes. Either at the end of the thing you’re quoting or in the description of the video
I love the editing for the video, another great job Yewfie! As a Pokemon fan I love the topic since I've noticed but never knew why the change happened (rip chonkachu). Hope to get more Pokemon videos in the near future.
those pika-costumes (at 00:03 or 3:23)are pretty chunky, tbf. but I think I prefer slim pikachu, even though my plushy from way back then is still of the chunky kind
Why did you say "adoption" instead of adaptation? Also, the random interjections of copyrighted clips was a bit jarring and unfunny. Other than that, I've quite enjoyed your videos thus far.
I said “adaption,” which means the same thing as “adaptation.” That’s the word I’ve always used, but according to the dictionary they both basically mean the same thing, just one is used less frequently! Thanks for the input! I’m sorry it wasn’t your cup of tea, I’ve still only made a couple of videos and am developing an editing style still so in that regard I’m doing my best!
