Pokemon: The Abridged Series -- Episode 1: A Scyther Says What?

WARNING: If you comment saying this is bad, but do not provide any suggestions, your comment will be removed. And if your suggestion has to do with video quality, I will thank you to read the rest of this description. You have been warned.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE FINISHED WORK! I wanted to test the waters, see what people thought of my comedy. If it's straight up not funny, I see no reason to redo it with better quality. But if it gets a good response, then not only will I redo this episode with better video, audio, editing, voices, etc., not to mention provide you all with subsequent episodes.

That said, I tried to convey all of my intentions for the episode. I didn't leave anything out, I just put in slightly less effort to get to that point.

List of songs (in order of use):
1. Top of the World - Van Halen [Top Gun] (opening theme)
2. Dance of the Dream Man - Angelo Badalamenti [Twin Peaks] (Spearow's Perspective)
3. Yackety Sax [Benny Hill] (Spearow Chase Scene)
4. The Real Folk Blues - Seat Belts [Cowboy Bebop] (thunderstorm chase scene)
5. Synchronicity II - The Police (text at the end)

MIDI versions of original songs from Pokemon Red Version were not listed. Any such songs that were used are from João *Johnnyz* Buaes of vgmusic.com

This is bad and you want reasons? I'm sure you know them already but I will tell you them anyway. All the voice imperinations sound the same, your delivery into the jokes were bad, the jokes themselves weren't very funny and it was very hard to hear anything.

@jackjack565656 That's exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, your advice does me no good as this abridged series is on indefinite hiatus and will likely soon be cancelled.

@JMRolf1, oh trust me, I know. I can't watch this vid any more on account of how crappy it is. If not for the fact that I have no video to replace it with, I would delete it right now.

[TheDavidReinoldBand]

Wow, apparently I'm better at commenting than I am at making abridged episodes. This vid barely has a 3:1 ratio of likes to dislikes, and I have a top comment in this video even though it's my own vid.

[thatguyfromwork700]

what was the jazz that played when the sparrow attacked ash?

[TheDavidReinoldBand]

@thatguyfromwork700 It's "Dance of the Dream Man" from the Twin Peaks original soundtrack by Angelo Badelamenti.

@sgmak697 I really liked this comment. It's harsh, but it lines up with my ideals. I WON'T LET YOU DOWN!

*runs off to FINALLY start remaking this episode*

[TheDavidReinoldBand]

@XeroForever I gave you fair warning. Ash said he'd spoil the end of Lost, and he did. Although to be fair, he also said he'd be the very best, but look how season 1 ended....

[AnvilPro100]

What?

[iloveluisotero]

i think it was good even though the people on YGOTAS actually did say ppl were gonna take their ideas of making an abridged series i think yours was good. my lil bro luvs pokemon and thought that it was gonna suck but he actually luved t!

[Abooby100]

Crap

[jimaseg1]

Don't cancel it. This is the best Pokemon parody i have seen, the first thing to work on would be the voices. the voices don't have to sound like anything in particular as long as they are different, something a little as changing the pitch can go a long way. your videos will improve with time as long as you keep making them.

Great comidy

[Soopercool101]

Dont cancel it! It is actually quite good

[Toshirou142]

Love the cowboy bebop. Got it right away. :)

[247HALOMASTER]

I miss the old pokemon... Now they have made it into a sick and horrible tv show when ash wins all his battles. Stuff like this cheers me up well done :-)
