    Episode 10 is currently in production and is slated to release in late 2020. I'm hoping that re-releasing the first 9 will attract new viewers to the series, and will give people a convenient way to re-watch the entire series when the next one releases. Detailed updates are posted on patreon.com/Shippiddge With the episode lengths steadily increasing, the last two episodes (8 and 9) make up half the length of the entire series at this point. With how it's currently structured, Episode 10 is slated to be even longer than the last one. I greatly appreciate your patience as I continue to produce it. Thank you for watching, and thank you for your continued support.

    Everyone: Charmander, you can’t move twice in a row! Geodude:
  • Fun fact: when butterfree wanted to have golbat use a move, it said co- in the subtitles, meaning that golbat used confuse ray, and it is learned in level 21 in generation 1, meaning that golbat was probably not listening due to lack of badges, great detail
  • @imokay4018
    Re-watchers on 6:46 when squirttle said "I dont know how to feel anymore" Howd you feel? After.....episode 10?
  • Charmander: kills Red Squirtle: " I'm free! Finally free! " Charmander: " Oh, I wouldn't say free. More like "under new management". "
  • @RobotWizard4209
    Wow this legitimately has better writing than all of the actual pokemon anime
  • @Sonic-BOM
    This series is popping up again, I feel like something big is about to happen
  • @shirenkaul5398
    They really match their types Charmander : fire : passion, aggressive, empathetic, courageous, free spirited Squirtle : water : logical, calm, emotional, sensitive, rational Bulbasaur :grass/earth : patient,chill, down to earth, loyal, supportive
  • Part 9 fells just like a part of a video game! (It has got an amazing climat!)
  • @mengi9400
    Its sad due to Charmander actually dying and we thought he would evolve.
  • @underplayer420
    Squitle: "Are you a boy or a girl" Caterpie: "poison sting Bluey" This was ahead of it's time XD
  • @mrCetus
    What originally started as a parody became one of the darkest, most thought-provoking and emotional series ever.
  • In episode 8 there was a binary code when hitmonchan was screaming (on captions) and it converted to ' so much pain '
  • Charmander is the perfect Word for "Anti-Hero" or "Anti-Villain"
  • @Sly-Moose
    Poor Charmander just wanted to get his friend back! If Squirtle just let him talk! 😭
  • @sclark615
    "shut it brussell sprout" "you ready to die squirt hole" Charmander a G!
