Pokémon Intro

[icanthelpbutwndr]

Damn Pokemon was legit the shit back in the day! It was like the justin bieber of my era when I was 8.

[Seekerofshadowz]

@icanthelpbutwndr but no one hated on it :D

[metathus1488]

@icanthelpbutwndr How dare you compare that faggot bieber to pokemon, lol.

[Jengirl92]

Makes me teary eyed. Those were the days...

[Mrbrutehater]

@Volkswag12 and playing pokemon blue on your gamboy during the comericals, eh!

[volkswag12]

ah the days of old. coming home from school eating your favorite snack. and watching tv shows that just kicked ass. such as this one. come on who doesnt miss those days?

[SnorkelProductionz]

still trying to figure out who the girl is at 0:46

[butterflyartstudios]

yeah I miss this show too!! man I miss every anime! XDXD

[fiskiman]

[annastasiafaith]

[epicmoore]

[89chvy]

Holy shit! I might be 22 but damn if this doesn't make me feel old! I remember watching this on WB every morning before school. Hell, I used to record the episodes back in my VCR days! Still have them too! Nothing beats the original show! Now it's gone nuts with over 600 pokemon now last I heard. I'll take my 151 and everyone can keep the rest. By the way, you would think by now Team Rocket would get tired of having their asses blasted into the sky. XD

[2002virus]

Did you know, ash is still ten years old and team rocket are only 17 years old?

[PokemonFortress2]

@2002virus ugh I thought team rocket was in their late 20's...

[NmsAmped]

James always reminded me of Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents.

[Peter41809]

[vampterminator]

Isn't it weird how they show Mewtwo when he was actually a created clone of Mew

[notforvideos]

[Digitt765]

[GBcomics]

[mtzkidd]

@jhillz20

[Forgiven4Him]

This is the closest we have to a time machine lol. Oh how it takes me back :)

[soufcraft]

[grinchy29]

sorry replay button

[HardCoreConkerFan26]

I miss my childhood :'(

[Talkingcamara2]

Memories of gradeschool!

[BerkayCavs]

That awkward moment when you lay in your bed and you accidently begin thinking about the first Pokemons, and then find out that Articuno (arctic is ice, uno = 1), Zapdos (zap is electricity, dos = 2) and Moltres (melt is fire, tres = 3) are in a particular order.

[HakMan1989]

no intro beats pokemon intro

[JHillz20]

Even as a kid ive always wondered, who the hell is that random chick Pikachu runs under?

[gilmorespore]

Look at 0:55

Zubat is holding Squirtle, but it clearly has no arms.

[Kimarnic]

@gilmorespore TrollScience

[anjirocool]

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, I wouldn't give a fuck because this is amazing.

[CarolCasual]

I remember this!

[TheGuyFromHolland1]

Real pokemon.

Way better as all those alien pokemon nowadays

[RogierSchreuder]

In the past *morning before school* 

[iamthepkmmaster]

[meandmyfriends999]

[salvipride23]

[TheFooleo]

Back when Pokemon was epic with damn near no equal... First 151 FTW!!!

[bmw0208]

Fucking hell! 90's babys stand d fuck up! This was the shit back in school! Pokemon trading cards! Who else remembers gogo's / krayzie bones, mannnn back when life was so simple!

[pimpbranmuffin]

Goose bumpsz

[ManOfAction9]

I want someone to remake this Opening but with Characters from Pokemon Special/Adventures. Red instead of Ash, Green instead of Brock, Blue instead of Misty etc...

[Olifantastisch1]

oh i remember when they say: what's the name of this pokemon !?

I had it always good :D

[Olifantastisch1]

Gotta catch 'em all ! POKEMON! ;D

[o0Emoil0o]

hah its the clasics nice there

[BlackToyotaTacoma]

My first Pokemon card was a Charmander. I still have that card today, first edition from 1999. It's sitting on my shelf in my college dorm room today after almost 13 years.

[MIFSjolly]

i'm 15 now, a girl, and i loved to watch pokemon<3

[plushied]

Pokemon, Astroboy, Sailor moon, Cardcaptor, DBZ...

Brings tears to my eyes..

[trupokemon]

[saulherrera34534]

[LukesBits]

[kewliowilkins]

brings a tear to my eye every time

[veveakaterrorista]

9gag was here.

[DrAlexandrius]

when pokemons looked like pokemons -.-

[abssurd]

@DrAlexandrius I'm very sorry but the plural of pokemon is: pokemon.

[DrAlexandrius]

@abssurd i dunno man, whatever you say :)

[captainbadlove]

Why is the part where ash's mom, prof. oak, joy and jenny nodding so cool? NIPPLES ERECT WITH NOSTALGIA

[SuperSerialGameplay]

If you can't name every single pokemon and character in this introduction.

You haven't watched enough pokemon.

[cronosphere49]

@SuperSerialGameplay mewtwo, mew, squirtle, cubone, pidgeoto, bulbasaur, charmander, gengar, arcanine, rapidash, zapdos, articuno, sandrew abra kadabra, dragonair, lapras

[CK15020]

@SuperSerialGameplay really? name me the girl at 0:43

[ssjaris]

@SuperSerialGameplay what's the girl that pikachu runs under at 0:45 ?

[SuperSerialGameplay]

@ssjaris

she is quite literally a generic female with no relevance.

It's a play on words of the japanese introduction and also the reference for the "lass" trainers you see in the original pokemon games

[stopHatin8]

@SuperSerialGameplay i can

[89chvy]

@SuperSerialGameplay Hell yeah I can name them all!

[TheFlashingrock]

@SuperSerialGameplay Try to name the girl at 0:46 :)

[SuperSerialGameplay]

@TheFlashingrock

i have already answered that good sir :]

She isn't anybody.

She's used as a play on the japanese lyrics which say "under that girls skirt"

so if anybody she's "that girl"

[nezy60]

@TheFlashingrock hey name is lass :D she kinda looks like lass from the video game :X

[comment816]

It was too good...

[CallMeLivvy37]

I got the complete DVD box set for Christmas. No regrets.

[MongoolR]

Me to, i miss them

[Metalfreak2120]

i just cried like a baby

[coolboy9650]

I just cried nostalgia tears...

We grew up so fast...

[nateparedes44]

To this day i have no idea who that girl at 0:45 is......

[Zalentz]

@nateparedes44 Wasn't she the one on the episode with them school kids where they did battle?

[gcastro44]

I grew up in the 90s but i never liked any cartoons from Japan. I hated anime.

[ravis8989]

picking pikachu over raichu everytime!

[pmiccich1]

i watched this when:

1) my parents were still together.

2) my dog was still alive.

3) me and my brother got to talk more then once a week

now:

1) i watch intros to old shows i love for nostalgia D:

[IainM887]

@Ninjafish43 Who is may ??

[sonicBlue00]

Glorious.

[Xx3p17MW3Pl4Y3rxX]

ive seen murder - dead family an still no tears in my eyes.... but then this come's to my ear...i cry like nobody in the world has cried before

[bmaloy9]

I miss this pokemon. They don't even have brock anymore. That dude made pokemon what it is, he was the funny laugh and good with the lady's

[Ninjafish43]

UGH they ruined it with Unova... Next season, they should make Red be the main character... and bring May back

[24fRaMeSps001]

gotta buy em all!

[iiiTammy]

I hate the new pokemon ._.

[saloom431]

thats some old shit. good memoriez btw specially the video game on nintendo 64 it used to be the best. also star fox and mario cart daaaaamnnn BEST GAMES EVER MADE

[MrBraun8940]

"I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was. I wanna cook Bulbasaur and eat him with a fork! - I will travel across the land, searching far and wide, eat Pokémon to understand, the power that's inside!"

[TheDcervi]

first episode came out 15 years ago in north america if i remember correctly.

[Spincushor]

I got goosebumps

[KojiroNoGanryu]

And currently 29 people have no childhood.

[realcodeman11]

I thought this would just be a nostalgia trip, but even without the nostalgia factor, this is pretty freaking epic.

[mrihavefunlol]

i think the show went downhill after the first season....

[realcodeman11]

@mrihavefunlol

Sad but true....

[SpartanMr117]

The episode with zubat holding squirtle was tentacool and tentacruel.

[hanplay1994]

0:55 How is zubat holding squirtle

[songsparrow882]

This. Is. My. Childhood.

[Calizactive187]

articUNO zapDOS molTRES

[nerrawina]

Pokemon was my religion when I was a kid.

[OTLcat]

Nostaglia.

[ElChicoProductions]

lol at :38 when i was little i always thought he said "oh yo mama's friends"

[jcrowley1985]

90s kids were content with 150 pokemon. Today's generation gets spoiled by such a flood of them that they're not even trying with the names anymore.

[Firefox1095]

I only remember the names of two pokémons tbh: Pikachu and Charizard (which evolved from Charmander so I guess it counts as one)....even so, I still love pokémon and I am sure that if I watch it again just once (I am talking about the original pokémon not the new bullshit), I will remember them all. Pokémon!

[omerkila]

echt vet cool

[TheRomanceGuru]

THOSE DRUMBS IN THE BEGINNING

[XenionTech]

*wipes tears*

goes back to 9gag...

[wesleydebest]

die goeie ouwe tijd....

[thaburger23]

I've always wondered who is the girl at 0:46?

[sadamhusein3000]

i never catch them all,i QUIT 7 years ago! :(

[NastyAlexxx]

Damn...I feel like crying,this brings back alot of memories. I've tried re-watching them,but it's not the same thing anymore...

[3phoenix2]

ha... i remember watching this as a kid. Every time this intro went on, i would just light up and couldn't wait to see what crazy journey THE ORIGINALS, Ash, Misty, and Brock, went on.

I also remember at 0:41, when Gary would kind of push the pokeball to the screen, i would run up to the t.v and pretend the grab the pokeball, telling my brothers i captured an Eevee. Kids will never know the utter enjoyment this simple show brought to all of us older generation kids. Pokemon IS childhood.

[yeshmayn]

was ash just running 45 mph

[LoveYouFredF]

i might just cry!!! I live for Pokemon !!-3

[AKON343]

You have no idea how good it felt to watch this!!!!

[gannon1op]

todays kids have no idea

[Fachero322]

@gannon1op im a today kid that grew with pokemon :D

[NJAR31298]

@Fachero322 original pokemon? 

[jcrowley1985]

@Fachero322 We only needed 150 though, how many do you have now? like 500?

[kiraofthewasteland]

when i think of pokemon i think of slavery O.O omfg

[jayfeezyfee]

Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur, one of the hardest decisions i ever made in my life

[EMMoney8806]

@jayfeezyfee LOL ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[chadunn13]

@jayfeezyfee charmander, duh...you face grass-type pokemon first

[NarueMoonheart]

@chadunn13

And then, Misty analrapes you.

[chadunn13]

@NarueMoonheart misty is the easiest gym leader...even with just charmander, its easy to beat her

[Poliwhirl1]

@jayfeezyfee My choice was Bulbasaur

[ScrapeNow]

@jayfeezyfee then you are hopeless

[kakalko91]

@jayfeezyfee only Squirtle and his great sunglasses :P

[ashfaqul11]

@jayfeezyfee charmander for sure (Y)

[djenrikk1]

@jayfeezyfee Squirtle was always the best Bubble Beam on that ass lol

[net2b]

funny just start singing the pokemon intro randomly almost anywhere and ppl WILL JOIN U! its crazy how everyong still remembers the intro word by word :D

[MrScoppdoggy]

pokemon original rules *fact*

[SlickSilver013]

Best intro ever

[Kenny3821]

Always thought it was Michael Jackson singing...

[sadcrescentmoon12]

@Kenny3821 lmao!

[calebsmith252]

jizzzzzzzz

[TheSSJ9001]

Now to this day I still don't understand who the fuck is the girl at 0:46 that Pikachu runs under. As a kid I got so confused and mind fucked over who the hell she is.

[TheUnforgivent]

Well, I usually don't make this kind of comment... but I just raped the replay button.

[NHBeiserJ]

I get chills every damn time

[stargatelover007]

:( I miss the good old days that this show was on telly with broke and misty and all...

[lumpyalan]

GARY IS BOSS



[CantHoldDownLeeFan13]

This song will be my graduation from college speech

[Purgatoriesify]

Anyone ever read the Pokémon coma theory? That shit's a trip lol

[CoolKidX85]

I wish I could go back to my childhood.

[DrDrake93]

@CoolKidX85 Me too :(

[phily4life]

man this brings back memories! I first watched Pokemon when i was like 8 and then i started to become interested in the Game Boy games, the Trading cards etc. i was like 10 or 11 whenever i grew out of the franchise altogether. I'm 21 now and just watching this intro again makes me think: ''Those were the days. When life was so much easier and innocent.''

[doodey10]

@Max You Out I feel you and totally agree...the pokemon today is nothing compared to that one.....it's Crap!!!!

[MaggotJustin92]

i was born 1992 and from then till 2000 the tv was a place where great shows were at the top but then something happened .. reality tv came then stupid shows and ppl who i dont give a crap about started showing their lives on it were did these shows go?

[gin961]

0:30 I lol'd at Tentacruel

[Reshikai]

Man, even Blue looks likable in this opening

[HoldThisHandTightly]

I KNOW IT'S MY DESTINYYYYYYYYYYY

[termometen]

I remember being a young kid in Sweden during the 90's... damn. cartoons has changed as well as the attitude of today's youngsters... sad really :(

[MaxYouOut]

Every fucking kid born from 1990 and on knew about this show...it wasn't just a show..it was...it was more than just a show...I can't explain it. It's like no matter what they can make a million and 1 pokemon shows now...but it'll never be Pokemon!...it'll never be Batman Beyond...it'll never be Yugi-oh at 11a.m on Saturday mornings...it'll NEVER BE THE SAME....NEVER!

[Beccaboo3401]

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS

[Tinizel]

Seriously if you grew up in the 90's............ You know damn well how good life was back then.....

[TetraMasterGR]

Tears come in my eyes! :')

Good memories from my childhood!

[Victor2daVazquez]

@TetraMasterGR me too



[Cleavinable]

same :'-)

[rj2long]

even after all these years, once that song starts up i can sing every word.

[kzpopori]

90's harmonics ftw. It really strikes hard with my nostalgia. ^.^ Oh pokemon, you make me so happy (and you're red game practically lives in my gameboy color)!!

[pwn127]

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS, TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TASK, TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. I WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE LAND SEARCHING FAR AND WIDE, TEACH POKEMON TO UNDERSTAND THE POWER THATS INSIDE. POKEMON GOTTA CATCH THEM AAAAALL. ITS YOU AND ME I KNOW ITS MY DESTINY, POKEMON OOH. YOUR MY BEST FRIEND IN A WORLD WE MUST DEFEND POKEMON, GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL OUR HEARTS TRUE OUR COURAGE WILL PULL US THROUGH YOU TEACH ME AND ILL TEACH YOU POKEMON COTTA CATCH THEM ALL GOTTA CATCH EM ALL

[Godpk11]

Am I the only who doesn't care whether Ash has aged or not?

[millieman76]

While all of us grow up, we still wonder how Old Ash is and when his Birthday ever passed....I'm amazed he's the same age till now

[crystalfairy912]

Pokemon was the best when they had Misty.

[dm1415]

i always thought Nurse Joy was a BOMB
