Seeing Pokemon organized this way in a montage should not have made me as emotional as it did.
Same. I appreciated that they did various groupings to tie the Pokémon appearances together, naturally excluding Paldean Pokémon to be showcased at the end.
It brought back so many journeys, so many memories, all at which we can remember…forever.
Fr, i actually kinda cried bc i know that those are actual players cherished memories in one video
Ikr I really asked myself why I was crying during the video, they did a great job with the montage!
Same. I was tearing up more the further they got into the vid. The music, the way they grouped Pokemon, and how it seemed to go bigger and bigger with every grouping, ending with Legends and Mythicals before hitting Paldea to salute the newest generation.
Whoever composed the music for this deserves a freaking raise
Pokemon always brings the bangers!
Well most of it especially in the later half is the stuff from the games
realllllll the arrange is amazing

All the languages, all the illustrations, all the evolution methods and art styles. Pokémon is practically a culture all its own. This franchise has inspired so many memories. To the editors in charge of this video, I can’t thank you enough for this masterpiece.
Pokemon brings people together. It's amazing.

😃 It’s a nice feeling. But I really meant what I said.
Music Used: - Wild Battle Intro (RBY) - Opening Sequence (RBY) - Title Screen (XY) - Wild Battle (RBY) - Wild Battle (BW) - Opening Sequence (RSE) - Route 26 (GSC) - Poké Flute (RBY) - Route 11 (RBY) - Evolution Theme (RBY) - Lake of Rage (GSC) - New Game (SM) - Northern Wild Area (SwSh) - Wild Battle (PLA) - Ultra Beasts Appear (USUM) - Aura Trio (XY) - Ultra Necrozma (USUM) - Gym Leader’s Final Pokémon (SV)
A like for the effort this guy put into finding all the soundtraks

This may sound stupid, but I like how the footage included the games in different languages reminding you that pokemon isn't just big in Japan or the US but instead the entire world, love this franchise.
even in those where there is no translation)))
i noticed and appreciated that too. such a nice touch

Pikachu being 25 after the first 8 sets of 3 starters, it's national dex number being 25 and appearing at 0:25 was so perfect
I honestly thought they were going to go in the order of the National Dex for all Pokémon and I am surprised they didn’t
Sadly, if you did a world dex that put all the starters first, it would put Pichu at #28 at the earliest.
@@GamerFromJump well with the way they formatted it, they wanted all the paldea pokemon last (all of them actually matching their national dex numbers) since it is a recent generation
@@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy Not to mention the fact that Gholdengo the 1000th Pokémon was introduced in that very region.

That was very well detailed to have Pikachu at 0:25 and is Pokémon #25 🎉
The “other” Pokémon could be Pokémon found in urban areas.
3:33 I wouldn't call Rotom's forms purely cosmetic. 3:54 I'd call those "Mid-battle form changes" as, with Castform introducing them, these are changes that only take place during battle.

Something I love so much about Pokemon is that no matter which of these 1008 creatures you look at, no matter how much you might not care for them, someone out there places it as their absolute favourite.

The fact that all starters from Gens 1 to 8 (basic forms) are 24 in total, just for Pikachu to appear at number 25 was both an amazing coincidence and great attention to detail.
That's actually really funny when you note it
another coincidence is that ashes adventure ended after 25 years

for one brief moment... Ultra Necrozma's theme was the proud representative of every legendary Pokémon. as it should be.
The Xerneas, yveltal and zygarde battle theme was used right before it, and HOLY CRAP THAT TRANSITION FROM THAT SONG TO ULTRA NECROZMAS THEME IS PHENOMENAL love both songs, so well edited and executed in this awesome video
I know people don't recognize X and Y for very much, but the legendary theme before ultra necrozma's really fits in this video!
Once upon a time, there were only 151 Pokémon to collect and train, and we all sang a song to remember their names. Even today, we recognize them right away. Now we're older, and the next generation is collecting and training. Some are our nieces, our nephews, heck our own children. So we'll remember the good old days when all we had were a few pixels and some songs. Let's see these new kids try and catch 'em all. We'll be there to help. And I can't wait ro see where it goes.
Should be arceus’s theme since he’s a literal god
@@Glitch2Game Arceus's theme doesn't feel very fitting unfortunately. It's WAY too intimidating for this video whereas Ultra Necrozma feels grand and powerful which feels better suited for the Legendary/Mythic showcase
Now it sits at 1,025 - following all the new arrivals added in “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero”.
Who knows how many more _Legends Z-A_ will add... if it even adds anything at all.

@@flameproductions8360 good one
getting all the footage for this had to have been insane
Edit video like this is insane.
0:57 even multiple languages of footage like Spanish here
The way they organized all the Pokémon was brilliant as it’s the way in which we encountered them over the years, which in a way I think is more important than the Pokémon themselves. They’re more than just digital manifestations of creativity: in a way, they’re memory. Each individual Pokémon species, no matter how popular or unpopular they may be, means something of great importance to someone out there. Maybe not for how cool they are or how usable they are, but for what was going on in the trainer’s life when they first met the creature. Sure a lot of Pokémon encounters are similar, or even scripted to be exactly the same, but our experiences in meeting them are as varied as the Pokémon themselves. Perhaps you lost a loved one and catching a Pokémon returned some sense of normalcy to the world, or some aspect of the Pokémon reminded you of the person and helped you through your grief by immortalizing them through nicknaming the creature in their honor. Maybe you see a Pokémon and it reminds you of when you first caught it while sitting on a friend’s couch after school, keeping your childhood alive. Maybe you met the love of your life at a Pokémon tournament or through a trade. Every Pokémon is important and deserves to be celebrated, and so too is everyone who aspires to become a Pokémon Master. Happy 1000!
Dude, you made me cry.
You… exist.
Not really a happy 1000 because you can't have them all in one game :(
Yet you can’t have all of the Pokémon in the game and you’re forced to pay $16 for home

Thank you for this!!!! I'm 37 in April, been playing since I was 11 on Pokemon Red and been playing every Gen since. Its changed my life honestly. Its my biggest hobby/passion, I'm covered in Pokemon tattoos and want many more. Pokemon has helped me through bullying, break ups, losing my mum, motorbike accident, everything... as long as I've got Pokemon, I'm happy. I can face anything. 💗
I'm turning 37 in July. This is SO TRUE🗣‼️💯
Been playing since yellow started off on a gameboy pocket would bring my gameboy with me to school everyday played all the way to platinum stopped now I'm back for scarlet and violet and I've missed so many things and I'm enjoying it very much.
True fucking legend. Pull it through king you are amazing 👍
I’ll never understand people who hate Pokémon, says a lot about what type of people they are.
Same age and same time I also started playing Pokémon. What a journey it was!
It's hard to believe that Pocket Monsters went from a series no one expected to take off, even in Japan, to one that was meant to end in Gold and Silver, to this massive phenomenon that is still going 26 years later. I'm happy to be part of it.
Soon to be 27 years, in Feb 27. Just a month+ away
Same here ✨✨
Me too!! I love Pokémon!!
Same here!
This franchise began with a little boy and his bugs with big dreams, to sharing that dream with all of us. Damn. 😭
It amazing to have live this long. To see so many of these Pokémon being introduced. Rest in peace to all the Pokémon fans who died before this milestone was reached. It’s wonderful being a Pokémon fan.
We’ve come so far. Who can believe it.

I think it's really cool that they really went through the effort of showcasing each and every single pokemon sorted by how they're obtained. They say every pokemon is at least one person's favorite, so it's cool that everyone's favorite shows up on screen at least once.
That is unless it's unknown then it's at least 20 times at once
3:27 Meowstic is the 678th Pokemon and happens to have 778th spot here! Numbers a Meowstic lover could appreciate 🥰.

I LOVE that they gave each of the Gen 9 Pokemon their own scene! I can just imagine someone who hasn't played the games yet seeing them for the first time. I definitely remember seeing them all for the first time during my playthrough.
i'm pretty sure those scenes are what the images in the pokedex are in Scarlet and Violet
Nothing quite like playing a brand new Pokémon game and finding a new Pokémon for the first time. That feeling of... OMG WHAT IS THAT THING, LEMME CATCH YOU is second to none
They saved the Paldean Pokémon for the end in order to announce their official National Dex numbers, since the games don't use the National Dex anymore.
I only wish they game EVERY Pokémon their own individual spotlight and not just Gen 9
It's still absolutely insane to know that after 9 Generations of Pokemon, we FINALLY hit the 1000 Pokemon mark! This is absolutely incredible!
W franchise
@@-jay-2993 Heck yeah!
It also makes a lot of sense with Gholdengo being the 1000th pokemon cause you need to collect 999 coins to evolve it which is close to 1000
And with Gholdengo being the golden trophy
@@kelseywilliams9616 yeah its cool they did it but its sad that pokemon 1000 is one i really dislike the design of, hes cool in fights and stuff but man the design couldve been more interesting or just nicer

Sun and moon gives me so much nostalgia, as it was my first pokemon games over 7 years ago. It’s insane how long it’s been man.
Reading this makes me feel old
I now actually realize Gholdengo is made up of 1000 coins and is number 1000 in the dex. Well played.
Yea and you needed to collect 999 coins for ghimmighoul as it serves as a double reference that ghimmighoul is the 999'th pokemon
It is only a little disappointing they tried so hard for that ploy that they moved the past/future Salamence and Gardevoir-Gallade fusion away from the rest of the past/future forms to let the Gimmi family have those numbers.

nostalgia just hits different, don’t worry you’re not alone bc when childhood memories get triggered through games and movies we watched as children it can bring a grown man to tears.
This brought tears to my eyes. From the moment I chose Bulbasaur on Pokémon Blue to now traveling with my Fuecoco in Scarlet, this franchise has been with me from the beginning. Thank you, Pokémon. Thank you for making my life brighter. Here is to many more, as I watch my son start his journey in the world of Pokémon. 💙
I love the ways this groups Pokémon together. You have the starters, ones found in talk grass, ones found in caves, in water, ones that evolve through trading or a stone or some other condition, ones that are exclusive to a region, ones with different appearances based on gender, season/weather, or another condition, and so many more. I imagine that even a nonfan could sense themes going on, even if they don’t know what they all are.
Pikachu comes right after the 24 first stage starters from generations 1-8, making him Pokémon #25 of the video, and he also appears exactly at 0:25 in the video Which perfectly matches with his Pokédex number being #25, amazing

I can say proudly that as of this moment, January 7th in the year of our lord, 2024, I have caught all 1,025 Pokémon. That's 81 legendaries and mythical monsters, 944 standards. With regional variants, convergent evolution and oh so much more, it was quite the journey.
As of this moment, I have done it. I have every single of the 1010 Pokémon caught in Pokémon Home. I can't even describe how much joy these funny little pocket monsters have brought me throughout my life. From the anime, to the card game and the video games, Pokémon has always been a part of my life. With parting of Ash this year, and this momumental quest of catching 'em all having been completed, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Pokémon. For every laugh, every bit of joy and sense of wonder, for every tear - even as I am tearing up right now while typing this - I thank you for being with me and for always giving me something to look forward to, to hold on to.

5:25 That shift from X/Y Legendary Theme to Ultra Necrozma is beautiful.

The ultra necrozma arrangement went so damn hard
Throughout the entire video i was close to crying and THAT moment finally tipped me over the edge-
Must say, clever making Gholdengo number 1000, considering you need 999 coins to evolve him, 1 for each pokemon that came before it
999 coins plus the one your Gimmighoul has for 1000 total.
Shame it's such an ugly design tho
Y’all know it’s kinda obvious right, 905 plus the dex number 95 is 1000 even, it’s been staring us in the face for like two months that he was the thousandth Pokémon

Counting up to a thousand but with random mons from all generations is so weird and wrong to me. Why not count up and show the pokemon added with each generation? Ohhhh because then we'd notice how much worse the new designs look compared to earlier pokemon
I remember back in the day being a small child thinking "Wow 151 is a lot!" And seeing where it is now, I can only imagine how the next generation will see this series grow. Here's to years of memories and years of friends who've join us on our adventures.

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried over the Pokémon counting video. I'm in my 30s and have been playing Pokémon since Gen I, and this trip down memory lane really evoked the magic of this franchise that I felt as a child.
Pokemon never needed an "everyone is here" trailer, you just knew every Pokemon was in it until they had to announce a decade later that it wasn't going to happen anymore, same goes for everything else in the combat system except a few held items.
Saaame
I know i don't care bout that gen 8 dex cut but, "half of everyone's here!"
It's so cool that they gave Feebas the spotlight for a moment, considering how unique (and hard lol) his encounter were in gen 3 and 4 😸
i also appreciate the mini section in the evolution segment for all the annoying evos at 3:11
@@JaxontheOkayno those are special items or unique evolutions but I get you
We have reached 1,025 now. Feel remarkable coming back here after Pecharunt's release.
Still one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen I love this
The editors deserve the biggest raise that ever raised
After more than twenty-five years and nine generations of gaming, we've finally reached a thousand pocket monsters. What a revolutionary milestone.
It's actually 26-27 years since they are only covering the pokemon games
Digimon got there years ago
@@RichieTheTotodile let em have their moment
💀
Still can't catch all of them though. Some are locked behind events.
Love how it wasnt just a lazy edit. Added in footage of where it originally debuted vs now the highest quality. 2d vs 3d. Varitations of it , like Unowns , Rotom... Maybe legendary towards the end. The music sync. Also diff language ver of each game ...
Just the editing and organizing every Pokémon by gender, rocky, grass, ocean, exclusives, forms, etc… is quite incredible!
I love how this has been edited. The grouping of Pokémon based on dynamic, from fishing encounters to the early com mons, was amazing. My favorite is the Egg hatching sequence - just lovely and so nostalgic.
Exactly, they could have easily just put all the Pokemon in one after the other based on Dex number, but the fact that they actually took the time to categorise the Pokemon into various groups, like early Route Pokemon and fossils, is so freaking awesome! Seeing the new Pokemon next to old ones from 20 years ago just makes my chest ache from nostalgia
What I find most interesting in this is that they did not acknowledge a separate grouping to showcase the so called pseudolegendary category. I know the naming itself has always been fan-made, but the group of Pokemon themselves exists on their own, being all of them 3 stages, with 600 BST, take a while to level up, etc.
It's really nice to see the "catch 'em all" slogan referenced at the end. It was dropped at some point in the early 2000s from official boxart and has been used sporadically ever since, sometimes evenleft out altogether. It's a nice little throwback to to the franchise's origins on the GB/GBC and the early days of the anime and TCG.
except its functionally impossible to havem all in one game now
@@Barriertriostruckapose which is absolutely sad. I know it’s hard but since my childhood I dream of a game that features more regions and every Pokémon in them.. every region would be absolutely awesome but if they would split it into Japan (gen 1-4), US (unova and alola) and Europe (galar, paldea, the region based of France) it would be fcking start :D
@@Barriertriostruckapose even if we had all of them, there is only 960 spaces in the box anyways
@@aspohn7256 Only 960 spaces in the boxes? Damn you're right, guess it's impossible to have them all in one game...
Just add more Boxes? It would definitely not be an overload for the game. Heck, you could have 100+ boxes and it would just be a nice thing to have.
1:44 that Unova part hits hard I need the remakes now 😢
I'd rather have Black 3 White 3 than remakes tbh, because it would be a Surprise having another sequel
@@Leefbay what about a legends game
@@lkatwaroo7099 Imagine another sequel though, It would be Hella funny If they did another Unova sequel
@@lkatwaroo7099 What about a Legends game? In Kalos?
The music chosen and the way it's mixed together for this is absolutely insane! So emotive
This video is so emotional to me. Pokémon is not only part of my childhood, but part of my entire life.
Until the day I die!
SAME!!!
Facts!!💪🥲
Was just thinking the exact same thing! Super glad to be here for this amazing milestone
Big respect to those who actually did catch them all. True legends
I was going to, but for some reason Pokémon HOME just hates Spinda. Specifically Spinda.
@@bluebaron6811 Thankfully, Bank will be free soon, so you can transfer from ORAS to Bank and then to Home
I just need simisage and hoopa which I’m trying to get in pogo
I have over multiple generations. One of these days, I really need to get a living dex in Home tbh.
@@bluebaron6811 it’s because ILCA somehow messed up BDSP inverted the way spinda’s patterns are calculated. So you can’t transfer Spinda into or out of BDSP unfortunately. The only way to get Spinda into HOME now is to transfer from bank.
The fact that the sprites are all from the generation they were introduced in means so much
I wonder if anyone else noticed that Dwebble appears with the Rock Smash Pokemon at 0:59, as it appears in XY. Every other Pokemon appears as they did in their debut game throughout the entire video as far as I can tell, all except for Dwebble
Sylveon at 3:18 is from SwSh instead of XY, the kanto safari zone pokemon at 1:58 is FRLG (Gen. 3 remake) instead of R/B...
I can't believe I've been playing this game since 1999 😢❤️ I'm turning 33 this year and I still remember the day a new girl moved to my rural town and showed me her Gameboy color with Pokemon Blue for the first time! Thank you Kelsey S. lol
Turning 29 this year and I'll still continue playing Pokémon until I turn 60+. I'm sure Pokémon will never die and live in our hearts forever ♥️
I remember getting a Game Boy Color (in Atomic Purple) for Christmas in '99 when I was six and a half. I'm turning 30 this year and still get so much joy from these games. This video made me tear up 🥲
Our gen is what kept Pokemon alive with the first gen doing well overseas!!!
I’m turning 33 this year too!! Will never forget my Pokémon red on GBC also
I find it amazing how there’s over 1000 Pokémon, and each one manages to be someone’s favorite. Can’t wait for even more!
Laugh in simisear
@@FUNFLL some sad, sad person out there has Simisear as a favorite Pokémon, and I wanna see how they’re feeling these days.
Laughs in Klink

so true

4:31 to 4:48 Props to them for honoring the Ultra Beasts. One of my favorite Pokémon is actually one of them.
That one being?
@@rachellelouise6112 Pheramosa.
I was 22 years old when the very first Pokemon games, Red and Blue, came out. I am now a middle aged man of 50 and to see the Pokedex crack 1000 shows how amazing this franchise is.
I wasnt even Alive when they came out. Pokemon violet is my first pokemon game i ever bought. And pokemon fire red is my first ever game i played. Im 18 now
Franchise was*
@@Big_Dai 🤓
I was 7 when red and blue dropped in the States, had my grey brick Game Boy that had no color and needed an attachable light to see and because back lights weren’t in these things yet. Red was my first, and so many years later I got my 7 year old daughter a Switch Lite and Pokémon Sword… times weird man… Also I have indeed caught them all!
Oldest pokemon fan ever!
1000+ Pokemon. Back then, it seemed like a dream. But now, here we are. To ALL the artists who created these wonderful creatures, thank you. Just know that somewhere out there, your creations are someone's favourite Pokemon.
well said. ✊🏻
Except for Eiscue
@@TehJakeify WRONG! Eiscue’s not my favorite, and you don’t seem to like it very much, but somewhere in the world, someone’s favorite is Eiscue!
@@TehJakeify like eiscue he’s a cool guy (pun fully intended) I can’t imagine that they’re the exception to the notion every Pokémon is someone’s favorite
Except person who designed barbaracle
Whoever went through the effort of finding a feebas deserves a raise
(For those who don’t get it, Feebas is imo the hardest pokemon to encounter and it can take an hour depending on your luck)
Munchlax??
Been here since the start. Even if the games took a hit when going 3D this is still such a lovely video and Pokémon is still great to play to this day.
An Insanely monumental moment. Every single pokemon is someone's favourite and that speaks volumes when there are over a 1000 of them.
True wow so many lol
Yea, and it makes it all the sadder or madder when said favorite can't be brought in to the current game even with pokemon home.
@@suroguner you will be able to soon man.

@@pokemon Thank you for the childhood of millions :) (also my fav Pokémon is ampharos :D it deserves some more love)
I am gonna cry Also, the editing is immaculate
@@fahadalzie5618It's called nostalgia. Some people experience it in different ways
I have two sides: "Too many Pokemons" "Not enough Pokemons"
Literalmente eu
I'm crying over the music. The Route 27 and 34 from Johto were beautiful. And the transition from the Johto wild theme to Unova wild theme was an unexpected surprise. That Ultra Necrozma remix put tears in my eyes. I'm not a huge Paldea gym fan but I won't lie the chant hits hard.
I almost cried when the Alolan music started playing.
I never thought nostalgia would make me cry. I grew up on pokemon. It's been my main fixation my entire life. Pokemon Scarlet was the first ever Pokemon game I went into nearly completely blind, and it was an incredible experience. Seeing this video, all of the past generations and games, all those I have played, really hit me. I hope pokemon never ends
Yeah, went into s/v blind as well. I didn't know what the 3 starters were until i saw the bag GameStop gave me my game in XD
Right there with you!
Yeah... I've never lived in a world without Pokemon (literally and figuratively), and I'm crying tears of joy that I'll never have to :')
This actually legit makes me tear up. Looking back on all the amazing memories I have with Pokemon. It's the one thing that's been a constant in my life. I will always love Pokemon. Every single one of them.
Coming back to this video and seeing all the little touches is great, like pikachu being number 25 shown, or the stone evolutions being in cutout shaped like the respective stone, but i think my favourite incredibly small detail is the fact that when the tree pokemon show up, crabrawler is coming up instead of down, since it attacks from berry piles
Before the comments get turned off, I’m glad I went back on this journey with you guys. May the future have many more Pokémon.
why would his get age restriced

"Did you catch them all?" Depends, did you put them all in one game?
For those of us who were kids when Red and Blue/Green were released, this is a hype nostalgia trip... IT AGES US LIKE CRAZY... But i love seeing how far it's come. And our parents all thought it would be just another fad
Feels great for me too my first game was generation four
Been playing ever Sense
I’ve been their since the gameboy days gameboy colour gameboy advanced n64 GameCube ds switch everything and all games I’m 32 . This is absolutely perfect roll on the next 1000!!!🎉 Gotta catch um all!!
Twenty....five....years....
I was 13 when the games came out, now my son is 15. We played Black and White together when he was 4.
I'll admit it...I teared up watching this. I've been here since Gen 1, it's emotional to see how far we've come.
I was a gen fiver. I remember it was a weekend, and my mom turned on the TV to Cartoon Network in the morning and the first thing I saw was the ending of the episode where the gen five fossil Pokemon appears. And I asked my mom "what was that?” She said that it was Pokemon. And that's where I began.
Im 32 years old and crying. We've come along way since Red and Blue
That number NEVER ends, don't it. Remember, back in the day, there were only 151, and we Gen 1 veterans thought that was a lot...
When I got to know that I was disappointed
