Make Pokemon Cool Again!

[PatrickTheScienceGuy]

when did it stop being cool?

[fullofroubles]

Sorry to pop the bubble, but first edition machamp was in the common starter deck pack. Most common rare pokemon card :(

[halocharmer94]

Wow. You look like a skinnier Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliff.

[blaze2263]

the games i think are still cool, making the show cool again seems difficult but could actually be accomplished in 2 simple steps

step 1. give funimation the dub rights

step 2. get the guys who design the pokemon to start making them look badass again

[sk8rgirlo]

pokemon IS cool!!

i found my old gameboy advance a few weeks ago and i looooove playing pokemon on it :)

[jctb1337]

I think pokemon was a part of every cool persons part of growing up.

[chibillama24]

i always just stole my cards from my neighbor. i took the doubles that he had... i don't think i ever bought a single pokemon card yet i have a collection... hmm

[EmpatheticDuck]

Pokemon FTW. I once had a shiny Gyrados, it was the first card I got.

[camillebananapeel]

I got very excited when I saw your shiny wrapped Machamp, because I have the EXACT SAME ONE! Still in its wrapper as well. For a while, it was my most prized possession. Still is, actually

[nannakure]

a shiny machamp?!?

that's sexy.

i always traded the good one's away so i could get the cute ones though.

[WillsOdyssey]

@nannakure

I absolutely love that at least one person in the world finds Pokemon sexy.

[palecorkscrew]

I still have the holographic Machamp in plastic too. I remember when I bought the deck it actually had two of it instead of one. At that moment as a 10 year old girl I thought I could die happy.

[AndersonDairy]

pokemon got uncool when nothing was new. still... nothing is new after 5 years.... they win.... when do they loose?

[Dentarthurdent54]

W00t! Pokémon! I completely forgot about my 1200+ card collection! XD I had like 4 triple-rare cards (I think one was a Red Gyrados) and no life. =P Heh, I didn't even *play* with them. I never knew how, and all of the other kids just made up their own rules. I just watched the show and collected (a lot).

Thanks for the nostalgia trip, Will. 5*

[watchdog2007]

The cool thing about the internet is that quality rises. Keep making good videos and the subs will come.

[yngakwrdinviduals]

I used to play Pokemon with my brother when I was little. Except I didnt know how to play. And he'd trick me into trading all my good Pokemon.

Not good memories there.

Though I still have a binder completely full of all my Pokemon cards!

[Koss42]

Enjoy the moment, this time in your life.

I really loved it when I was there. Cheers!

Regarding Warwick, I know some jolly good cards with their undergrads from there, and have heard nothing but good things. Well done there :)

Also, Reading holds a special place in many hearts too; tough calls ahead methinks!

As a member of the science faculty speaking to an Arts student, however, I am contractually obliged to tut. Your awesomeness, however, means I shall do it quietly ;)

[WillsOdyssey]

Warwick uni is quite possibly the greatest place i have ever visited.

Hopefully my inherent enthusiasm for sciencey things means you'll tut even more quietly - I refer you to my big bang video over on EA :)

[QuadError]

Man, I've practically got that one on speed dial, and we all know why ;)

[bagOmagic]
