[gimo80]

I actually got goosebumps when the chorus kicked in...oh dear.

[redmage87]

We need to either have a revival of this or have a DVD release. THE LEGEND OF POKEMON LIVE MUST CONTINUE.

[Thechickenbros1413]

@redmage87 and this time, send it to U.K.

[Akiases]

This is a cheap production but I WANT THIS ON DVD

[Thechickenbros1413]

@Akiases it wasn't in it's day.

[chrisscm]

@Akiases This was NOT a cheap production. It was a multi-million dollar show. I should know. I was the production stage manager on the show.

[OfficialMoChocolate]

someday i will be in this show.

[Ndsfanman]

@OfficialMoChocolate I'll be brock we got a deal lol

[Gleek69Klaine]

[Shadxlox101Returns]

Ash's balls must've dropped HARD

[dretinator]

doesnt brock never open his eyes?

[LewisAndRichard]

if i was a parent here i would of thought wtf if going off.

[wrxsti1192]

what the fuck? they dont even battle

[Selryam616]

You're a humongous undesirable for being so terrified of someone possibly stealing your precious idiotic pokemon upload that you would further ruin it by tacking on some ugly text in the corner.

[craenerX]

@Selryam616 And i'm ok with it.

[zocazoey]

and pikachus part with singing ?

PIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[PokieDalekCollector]

lmao this is sooo gay! XD

[KatamariOnTheSwing]

.. I loved pokemon, was born in 1990, I was happy I missed this, quit your crying; just because it's pokemon, doesn't mean it's any good. I'll go paint a turd yellow and put a face on it, then you'll know what you missed.

[ScubaNinja2021]

when do did ash, misty, brock and pikachu learn how to dance? o_O

[dasjoker446]

worst thing ever created...

[MrGamer1992]

@dasjoker446 but funny as hell to watch because it's so horrible.

[Raptormon132]

@dasjoker446

Well, you can't blame them for trying.

[pendawg7895]

@dasjoker446 watch your mouth pokemon live was what kicked off the pokemon revolution! i went to this when i was six . to a six year old this is pretty awesome! now im sixteen and still trying to catch 'em all!

[LaurenaMacarena]

I WANTED TO SEE THIS SO MUCH AS A KID!!! :criesforever:

[batmanownsyourass]

@LaurenaMacarena I didn't.

[boybd52]

POKEMON SHOULD NEVER BE A MUSICAL.

[kappater]

THATS A HUGE PIKACHU !

[tehpiezorz]

i can not believe they did this u.u

[HighSchoolTwilight]

hey does someone haves the song I wanna tell you when Misty sings it in the show

I can't get it :'(

[prettyinpunk666]

@HighSchoolTwilight I don't know if there's a live version but the song is called Misty's Song, and it's on 2B A Master, search it and you'll find lots of videos.

[angryzilla]

you suck at fucusing at Ash or Pikachu, all you do is look at Misty or other pokemon when Ash sings!

[fsuchino]

@angryzilla Guy is trying to catch her tits lol

[chrisscm]

@patrickgagemathew I will upload the entire show when I have time in September. I am busy studying for my medical boards right now.

[SweetSodaChick]

@chrisscm Please do! I saw the show in 2000-2001 and I'd love to relive it. And thanks in advance.

[craenerX]

@GEFStryker I don't care if the musical itself sucks, i love Pokémon and i'm proud that i'm the owner of something rare and Pokémon related.

I dont know how this is hilarious to you, and If you're trying to look superior you should try with another person.

[TheBlackmidnightwolf]

I remember seeing this when I was small! I didn't get to see it all though there was a storm and it cut the power off!

[Madvillane]

wth faint

[aFaintFillms]

@Madvillane It couldn't be helped.

[pokemonlover6614]

I have never heard of this

[Zarthga]

all the claps were simultaneous facepalms.

[ninetalespokefan]

i would love to be there

[LUVRofPokemon]

they should do this again for the new pokemon genration because i would love to see this performance which suck cause i LOVE Pokemon

[VivaLaMarshmallow8D]

Why is ash singing ._.?

[kazzart1995]

they should bring it back to the stage

[FlyingSpartan]

with the technology these days, it be better to make the pokémon holograms

pikachu made my roflcopter go soisoisoisoisoisoisoisoi!!!

[Ruby150]

*Sighs* If only they had made a copy available of this musical. I woulda paid for it!

[chrisscm]

He's not the only one with a video of this. I was the Stage Manager of the American tour and have several videos of this show. It ran from September of 2000 to February of 2001. Pikachu, Meowth, Jiggly Puff and Sigh Duck with 'live.'

[craenerX]

@chrisscm Could you upload them please? I'd love to see them :)

[TheSyuFan]

@chrisscm You should really upload them. SO what are each of the actors doing after 10 years now? very curious... If they saw this video today, what would they say about it?

[chrisscm]

@TheSyuFan I will try to digitize a copy of the show to upload. I am really busy right now.

The Actor that plays James, Andrew Rannells, is starring THE BOOK OF MORMON on Broadway right now. The others I don't know. Also, the actors are not lip-sncing to a pre-recorded track. They actually sang.

[shinkle4]

@chrisscm it's PSYDUCK ahaha jk that's badass you were a stage manager.

[chrisscm]

@shinkle4 Yeah. I couldn't remember how PSYDUCK was spelled. I knew I was wrong, but I couldn't remember. Thanks for the correction.

[JDev217]

@chrisscm I'm sure everyone's asked a thousand times but if you could upload those video's it would really mean a lot!! :)

[chrisscm]

@JDev217 I am really bust studying for my medical boards right now. When I am finished I will digitize the videotape and post the entire show. It will be in September.

[XBloodAngelX10]

@chrisscm OMG i so jealous of you =3 if you like lets talk about pokemon lol sorry i'm a pokemon fan lke a big one lol and wow cool X3

[trinitymiller13]

@chrisscm hi can you please up load some vids of Pokemon likve USA versohn. for me?

[Thechickenbros1413]

@chrisscm I'm sad this show didn't come to U.K. We still exist you know.

[chrisscm]

@Thechickenbros1413 I'm sad the show didn't go to the UK too. I wanted to tour the UK. I have posted the entire POKÉMON LIVE! on YouTube. Just search for "Pokemon Live! Part 1 of 7" to find the first of 7 uploads.

[craenerX]

@chrisscm Sir, you are a God amongst men. Thank you so much for uploading them!

[chrisscm]

@craenerX Why, thank you! I am glad I could share it with all of you! :)

[chrisscm]

He's not the only one with a video of this. I was the Stage Manager of the American tour and have several videos of this show. It ran from September of 2000 to February of 2001.

[thewildgastly]

pikachu was the only pokemon alive

[XxXkutsuuXxX]

I have very mixed feelings about this...

[lollipop5871]

Zapdos was cool.

[SmilieChick16]

I wanted to see that show. but I was young when I heard about it.

[Lazerah80]

I need a link to watch the whole thing

[ScubaNinja2021]

i guess ash magically sounds like a man when he's singing lmao

[Jonnybooster]

Misty is fucking hot. I find that easy to masturbate to.

[aakk95]

slowest version i have ever heard of with this song

[watchanime100]

WTF!!?!? Is Misty gliding across the floor 0:05 - 0:15 !!!?!

[Dracosgal8]

@watchanime100 I said the same thing... O_O

[FredXDXD]

@watchanime100

Well, it seems like Misty's using her Levitate ability.

Must be a Gengar in disguise.

[stronruby2]

I laughed through the whole video but there are three words I can only say:wtf

[Xiahoud]

Dude. I LOVE YOU for uploading this.

[Shadechidna]

Pokemon died a little when watching this >.>;

[MetalCraftDrake]

must feel good knowing u have the only video of this grats

[CourtneeMalakian]

i remember bhearing about this back in 2000 when i was 7. i wanted to see it but never did :((

[hairybastardass]

I've been a big fan of Pokemon for a long time, but watching this, I think I died a little inside... O.o

[Midimania100]

TheOnlineMusical's Pokemon Musical own's this one XD lol

[2Nbafan]

Wow this is the most gayest shit ever has nothing too do with any of the anime series just a fuckin musical

fuckin die 

[TheLegend1245]

@2Nbafan Yes it is. It puts shame to pokemon the anime.

[CourtneeMalakian]

@2Nbafan thats why its called a musical.

[KittyChuAble]

what

the

fuck

[sarahkellett]

I actually never knew that there was a musical at all. Was it only a 1 time showing???

[venakew]

Isn't Ash supposed to be 10?

[wolfgirl192]

i only have the lyrics to this song but with the bouncier beat to it. if ya check it out use the comments cause the vid's lyrics suck DX

[Smfsableye]

3:16 Wtf Hitmonlee fell! Was that intentional?

[zutariangirl123]

they should revive pokemon live...i'd be so down to audition even if it meant only being an extra. that would be awesome. <3

[xtremethomas]

If only I could go back to go see this........

[MyRandomPerson101]

i cant belive i missed it i would do anything 2 watch it even give up poket money for the rest of my life! or throw away my dsi or do anything even kill

[nellie2581]

Gotta catch em all! I have heard of the live version but I have never been to a live Pokemon show. I have seen Pokemon the First movie in Theaters.

[XxMadMax593]

when the hell was this? I never knew about this

[MyRandomPerson101]

oh dammit i wish i couldve been there it looks like heaps of fun

[IrresistibleAshGirl]

...

Could you make some subtitles...?

[craenerX]

@IrresistibleAshGirl Activate the anotations.

[iceglacier101]

As I Saw This Vid, It's Like I'm Being Bombarded By The Memories Of The Past

As I Saw Ash Dancing Like, Infernape In The Chorus, I Laughed So Hard, Yet Brings Me Delight

As I Saw Trainers Coming Out With Their Pokemon, I Thought Who WOuld Fall For Dummy Props Like That??? Then I Realized I Am Now That I'm Already Tearing Of Emotion

I Really Love Pokemon!!!! Pokemon Forever! Swear To Arceus Till The Day That I Die !

[numbers93]

omg... Pikachu so cute. 0.0

[loud2006hw]

Say..When did Pokemon have Background Dancers?

[BrownironStudios]

Well, at least folks, they got a good misty, cos I have seen some really bad ones in my time.

Gotta admit the costumes are good

[saiyanstormtrooper]

i want that pikachu costume its cool

[GirlYouDontKnow1237]

Personally, I wish I had seen this when it came on </3

[PieFights]

They need to re do this heck it was done with Bugs Bunny and the lod school WB Cartoons so why not this just a idea but this would be a perfect way to bring back Pokemon in all of it's oringal Glory!!!!

[MrBeatboxGonzo]

The guy in the Pikachu suit doesn't have to show his face OR sing. I'd rather be him.

[roggie2499]

@MrBeatboxGonzo if I could sing, I'd want to be Ash. Why not be known as Ash? I mean, being him for Halloween while at work at a bowling alley has 10 or 15 kids coming back sometimes calling me Ash. Why not have 1000 people call you Ash?

[Raptormon132]

@MrBeatboxGonzo

A guy? I don't think the one in the Pikachu suit is a guy (judging from that persons size). I'd say it's a early child teenager.

[flakelorenz02]

I remember hearing a radio ad for this when I was 10. I wondered how they would get the pokemon to move on stage when they where so animated in the series.

Looks like they never figured that out themselves and just have the pokemon being pushed about like ivalids! What happend? Are all the pokemon paralized? At least get some cheap anamatronics that would have fooled kids. My stuffed pokemon had more life than this!

[dagniranum]

@flakelorenz02 You see, there is this wonderful thing about being a child called imagination. We didn't need the pokemon to move to believe in the magic that was happening onstage. There is also another term that is used with plays called "willing suspension of disbelief." It is a dramatic convention that dates back thousands of years, even to the Greeks. It is all part of the magic of live theatre.

[blatherblather1]

I just feel bad for the poor person who has to wear the Pikachu costume.

[Raptormon132]

@blatherblather1

Well if you compared him/her to the other performers, he/she's got the easy job. All he/she has to do is walk & dance around on stage & wave to the audiance.

[misaelcapria]

I feel kind of sick and amaze D:

[PhillipTaBywater]

Did you know that in the original cast of "Pokemon Live!" the women who played Ash's Mom (Dee Roscioli) later played Elphaba in the Broadway hit "Wicked"? Thought some trivia was needed.

[TheRealMrsBieber100]

i love pokemon to death it's my fav show seriously but this scares me

[rinrin0rikuriku]

5:02 - IS THAT A HOOTHOOT IN THE CORNER?? That's not even first gen!!!

[Robtopia77]

OMG! This is what will happen when High School Musical Collides with Pokemon.. . . . O_O

[SailorVhoorl]

Ash used Summon Backup Dancers! It's not very effective...

[NarutoGeek6093]

Who else thinks that singing voice shouldn't be coming out of Ash? o.O

[dappleback]

I'll bet Japan is jealous.

[LilKohana]

You know what I'd love to see? A Fan-animation of this musical. Maybe get some people like LittleKuriboh's crew to voice it (They could sound close to the ORGINAL Voice Actors, and we know they aren't afraid to belt out a song...Just look at Leather Pants XD ) Maybe use the video clips that are in existence for reference, and I think I once saw a full script of this musical posted somewhere...

[SBbolton16]

I would have love to see this if I lived in the USA, but apparently I live in Australia, and by the way, at 3:16 I LMFAO when that guy's Hitmonlee nearly fell XD

[WolfXY2J]

@SBbolton16 I laughed so hard when Hitmonlee almost fell lol to funny

[NeumatexVitaminico]

Misty's boobs.

[xxkitxx21]

they need to make a pokemon concert^^ I would totally go!

[RedFireGreenThunder1]

This version was used in the ending of Pokemon Heroes!

[003Godsend]

the dark dark side of the 90's.

[snailanator1]

Damn misty finally grew tits jkjk lol

[karlxy2]

How does it feel knowing that you are the only one with the only video of this damn show?

[craenerX]

@karlxy2 Feels good man :)

[areallystupidguy]

I love you Misty

[zonedoutbydeidara]

I bet there's no other main clips of this because all of the fans were like ".... We never speak of this again." xDD

[Linklandco]

OK, so his voice is high and boyish when he talks and then he has a lower voice as he sings....Um cool.

[MaskedMan66]

@Linklandco That's because that's not his singing voice; that's voice of the original Ash from the American stage show.

[Linklandco]

@MaskedMan66 Ah, that makes sense.

[gunsass]

ok ive listened to this soundtrack 1 000 000 times. They are lip syncing for sure. It matches up perfectly to the recording, there is no human error what so ever. I feel ripped off....and im 19 lol

[Zipateer]

Pikachu has better moves than Ash lol

[maddiebff22]

the first thing when i watch this i pointed at pikachu and yelled what the fuck is that!

[bunnyhinata12]

why the F*ck is pikashu so big!!!

[calcgeek117]

23 people were IN the show. lol

[PedroLuvsTDWT]

Did Ash finally go through puberty?!??!

[x10Joe10x]

thumbs up if this pikachu is fucked up.

[OldSkoolgamerz]

OMG it's giant Pikachu! =P

[DORUNOYOKO]

>:O now what dragon ball li... oww sorry dragon balls fans :(

[raptros]

@DORUNOYOKO you don't like dragon ball? lol sucks to be you.

[DORUNOYOKO]

@raptros yes i like Dbz but this reminds me ... dragon ball evolution O_O i hate that movie but i like dbz :D * cell saga *

[raptros]

@DORUNOYOKO ooh LOL that's different yeah db evolution should be buried and forgotten couldn't agree more but dragon ball kai ain't doin very well either... i watched up to raditz death and the censorship threw me off, Goku died of a burn to his chest... right lol.

[DORUNOYOKO]

@raptros yep :3 but u haz internet watch dbz

[raptros]

@DORUNOYOKO yes i will :D

[pokexplosion21]

What the hell is with Ash's dancing?

[codyzulinski]

This was probably a better idea in concept

[sonic10158]

was that really them singing or are they just lip-syncing?

[XxHarrison22xX]

LOL ash doesnt know theres a ZAPDOS on his ass he would be like woah a zapdos...go pikachu!

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

Pikachu was the luckiest.

He had a costume to hide his face.

[Curfy97]

.... i got to 0:09 before i started laughing... but maybe that's cause my friend told me a joke right as it started and it took me nine seconds to get it...

[youkid1000]

pikachus larger than ash 0_o

[bubbajimmy8]

Drop acid

watch this

????

Profit

[NightmarBlogTime]

Since when does Misty have a feminine figure? O.o Since when does Ash sing in a good voice? o.O Since when did this start and WHY THE @#$@ DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!!! >:( someone must pay.

[TheRomanticide810]

i didn't know Pikachu grew that size.
