MY FIRST TIME WATCHING POKEMON INTROS! (1-26) | POKEMON OPENINGS REACTION

Pikachu: "I'll evolve as soon as Ash becomes an adult."

That was indeed Ash in every opening except the Horizons one.

I recommend you to check out the Japanese Pokemon openings they’re really great

There was one final Ash opening that was mostly a compilation of old events because there was a very short 11 episode send off for Ash.

He didn’t get younger the show just got more experimental with its style

I believe the reason why Ash and the general art style looks so different is because after the XY series everything was made in a different studio. I believe the one that made the previous anime’s were currently working on something and needed a different studio to work on it for them

For the new companions after Misty and Brock Orange Islands: Tracey was a Pokémon Sketch Artist. Not really based on anyone from the games. Advanced Series: May and her little brother Max. May is based on the female trainer you can pick in the Gen 3 games. Diamond Pearl: Dawn, based on the female trainer you can play as for Gen 4. Black and White: Cilan and Iris, both Gym Leaders from the Gen 5 games. Neither were very popular for the fans at the time. XY: Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie. All from the games, Serena being the female trainer or rival depending on the gender you pick. Clemont is a Gym Leader and Bonnie is his little sister. Sun and Moon: Lillie is a main character from the games. The rest are Gym Leaders. Mallow, Lana, Kiawe, and Sophocles. Pokémon Journeys: Go is an original character for the series. Probably some inspiration from the Pokémon Go mobile app.

For the latest season 'Horizons', we have new protagonists Liko and Roy. Ash's tale had ended on a high note at the end of the 13-episode special, "To Be a Pokémon Master' which happens after 'Journeys' story with one question "What does it REALLY mean to be a 'Pokémon Master'?" He travels with Misty and Brock one more time, just traveling for traveling's sake with no big goal anymore.

I still can’t believe Pokemon has 25 seasons. This show will always be amazing to me

It is funny when people say ash looks younger since sun and moon because he’s always 10

You should honestly listen to the japanese version of the XYZ opening (at 13:13) bc that version is a BANGER as well

8:32 So that’s because Advance Battle was the last season to be dubbed by 4kids entertainment and was acquired by the Pokemon company which lead to most of the voice actors being chanted out and the openings being shortened

I was born in the late 2000s but I remember watching the 1990/ the first season of pokemon and listening to the intro brought back memories of a simpler time

def watch the japanese openings too! most are sung by ash's voice actress

That second intro theme Pokemon World just SLAPS so hard

Yes there's tournaments in each region (a region lasts like 3-4 season and each region introduce new places, pokemons, characters). Ash tries to collect eight badges so he can participate in the Pokemon League. He goes through a lot of problems in his adventure but you can see him get evolve in each region.

I honestly like the Japanese Horizons intro better

I think you should react to it all. It’s a long journey but it’s amazing and I do like the new art style from Gen 7 and the story is good.

I think you should react to it all. It will take A LONG TIME to finish, since Pokémon itself hasn't ended yet, but it would DEFINITIVELY be great. There aren't many people that do react to it here, and the ones that do aren't "as good reactors as you", so I would really enjoy to see you react to it all. Even when people talk sh*t about the "most recent seasons", i would go as far to say that Pokemon only gets better and better, because there wasn't a single time, while i was watching it, that I thought "Oh, I wish Pokemon had stayed just like it was in the start" or something like that. In short, it's a great journey, and it's totally worth it watching it all.

Yooooo, he’s on Pokémon now!!
