Nostalgia Critic should do Pokemon Month where he reviews the first 5 sequels to Pokemon: The Movie. Im not that familiar with Pokemon but after this review Nostalgia Critic could make some really funny Pokemon stuff.
ok, I like the critic and all, but I think that this point he brought up was kinda flawed, I mean this movie was based of a video game series... that and the fact that the people who made the movie also made a show before this... just saying...
He does make a good point, its never really been explained what a pokemon is exactly in all the 11 or 12 seasons of the show. I mean, they hint that they came from space but that doesn't explain much. Where do they come from, how did they get on the planet, why do they obey the orders of whoever catches them, these are questions that I've had for years but I have never received an answer for.
I don't know if this has been said a batrillionjillion times, but my god does he look like Tommy Wiseau, like 3 years before he did The Room. If that ain't subconscious foreshadowing I don't know what is.
I like how everyone's hating on how he spelled Jamacian, and yet no one is talking about what a great joke that was. Sorry PokeNerds if that review offends you but as he explains in the beginning, he was already in high school when Pokemon hit its stride and didn't pay it much attention. The joke itself though, was pretty clever and I would have never thought of something so phonetically abstract.
There are just some questions you don't ask. Like, "Do trainers eat their pokemon? Will Bleach ever have a final episode. Or will One Piece ever reference Johnny Depp?"
Um....yeaahhhhhhh.....not touching that one. It's almost a full decade after the craze, and there are still a few poke-nuts out there. I value my own "poke-balls" too much to piss them off.
@AndrewDeLong No i think yall are misunderstanding what he's saying, he means nobody knows what a pokemon IS, like what kind of freak of nature animal they are and where they came from.
@NerdyShirt They have actually shed some more light on the subject of what they are, but the mystery they leave in is similar to our wildlife mysteries. If you weren't into the series, it can be confusing.
@robertsfunny1995 yes, but lets say we live in a world where pokemon actually existed, how would you classify an oversized mouse that generates electricity? Are they genetic experiments gone wrong....aliens....what ARE pokemon is what the nostalgia critic means i think.
@NerdyShirt It's true, I watched the show all day as a kid, and I never knew where they came from, or basically what are, they, but after years of enjoyment and games people just went along with the flow..
@NerdyShirt there´s some story floating around that makes Pokemon sound reasonable.
It´s about a nuclear war, genetic engineering and stuff, and you don´t even know that it´s about Pokemon up to the end. Blew my mind when I first read it
@NerdyShirt One of the manga sayes that they are all the same species as they all share similar DNA which separates then from other animals, and allows them to be stored in pokeballs....which is bullshit for two main reasons.
1. Some pokemon are made of inorganic matter.
2. The definition of a species is a group of individuals that are unable to produce viable offspring with any member of another species.
However, pokemon tend only to breed with specific varieties of other pokemon.
@Chayraz2 So they're DNA eldritch horrors, in other words.
Also: It's never confirmed that any are non-organic. Geodude could easily be a roughshod alien typical of some of the star fish aliens out of star trek.
@Chayraz2 2: Okay, well they're eldritch horrors for the fact that they all potentially originate from one species. This phenomenon never occurs in an environment like earth. Magic probably made them so chaotic and volatile - chances are, 1000 years later, pokemon cease to known. They're prone to evolve quickly too - is there any out there that can divert into different evolutions (not just the linear stage 1/stage 2)?
@PsychicEmeraldSpirit I don't count the start of Pokemon in Japan in 1995-96, I count the start of the American fad 2000, which followed the yo-yo craze of 1998-99.
@GeminiBreaker No, it wasn't a joke. He has a lot of stupid spelling errors, watch his older vids. Also in the original 50 impressions in 50 seconds video. He spells common names wrong, a person who is not dyslexic would not.
@kaltblut v=dEps_qHjFpM In this video, he said "It's like if you cross a dyslexic with a complete idiot." He never says he is dyslexic. He's a piss poor editor, not a dyslexic.
But yeah, you're entitled to your opinion. Maybe we would be having a problem if you said that Twilight was well plotted, but that isn't the case. Carry on.
"nobody knows what a pokemon is" funny, this movie came out when he was 15, so the younger piece of his generation (ppl including me) actually do know what a pokemon is. that, or hes never played gameboy
Don't get why it's so hard for people to get that this is a character he plays. Go to his site and watch him being normal on some of his announcement videos and his personal top 10 videos(not top 11;))
i cant tell rly bcz i was born in 97 but i have a sister born in 85 so idk if im the same generation as NC who was born in 82. but still the younger kids like pokemon while doug started jr high when pokemon came out
@writheinpain No, racism is claiming that one race is genetically inferior/superior to their own race. This was a stereotype, if it was racist he would've said "Hey you wanna play some pokemon? You know cause Jamaicans are genetically inferior to everyone else"
Nostalgia Critic should do Pokemon Month where he reviews the first 5 sequels to Pokemon: The Movie. Im not that familiar with Pokemon but after this review Nostalgia Critic could make some really funny Pokemon stuff.
