There is a whole extra side to the Pokemon anime that spends time either focusing on little moments from other characters journeys that take place during the timeline of the anime itself or have their own timeline that follows the Pokemon video game lore a lot more closely. Today, let's take a look at the core spin-off series!

Thanks so much for watching! Let me know some of your favorite Pokemon anime spin-off moments or episodes!
Did you know that pokemon dub actors got there start in anime Slayers.
But what about Chronicles?
I was missing chronicles as well!
Starter squad 😂
Does anybody remember The Sonic OVA🦔🤖
Origins was a legit miniseries. It should’ve been much longer. If they had spent one episode per gym would’ve been awesome. 10 episodes at least.
It was perfect for what it was, I have no complaints.
I honestly wish they did an Origins series for each region it would've been awesome seeing a mini series dedicated to the journey of each generation
@@aglassofwetwater5215same, would've loved to have seen Johto and beyond, mainly with the male protagonists/female protagonists (of Unova) since they were abandoned for Ash taking their place
I wished that something like Origins occured with every Pokemon Gen. It would've been so cool to see how the voiceless characters we played as would've done things differently in their own journeys
The Origins crew's work should just take the place of main anime. Or at the very least they should get a spinoff (don't know how the actual characters would be a spinoff) series (not a mini series) like chronicles. I just feel like if your gonna create main characters that aren't original to the source they should atleast give the protagonist cameos.
I really loved Origins take on the gym leaders honestly. We're shown right away that Brock *can* have a full team of six, but since he knows that Red was a beginning trainer, he used only two. I could be wrong, but I feel like this implies that while Origins followed the games, there were still some elements that trainers could start at whichever gym they had that was closest to home. If a trainer grew up in Fuchsia city, Koga would be their first leader, and would probably use something like a Koffing and Venonat.
I feel like the teams are not made by the skills of the trainer, but the number of gym badges a trainer has.
@@thomasffrench3639 I mean to be fair, the amount of badges a trainer has is the direct measurement of their skills in terms of the league challenge.
@@Charziken in XY did they ever show Alain’s gym battles? He was a competent trainer before he went on to challenge the gyms.
@@DavidFromTampa I never mentioned XY, nor did I ever watch it. My comment was strictly about Origins
Some important context for the Origins anime. When it originally aired Pokemon X and Y hadn't come out yet, but promotional material had already revealed that the Kanto starters would get Mega evolutions.
Everybody knew that Red's Charizard would Mega evolve, but expected it to be the Y version, since it was the only one we knew of at the time.
So when Red's Charizard Mega evolved to a completely new form, the internet lost its collective mind
I was one of those people to lose his mind at that! Such an awesome reveal!
no wonder people really like x more than y, because they saw the beloved Red(Not saying beloved in a bad way, I love him too) have it, so they immidiately thought it as cool(since Red is cool, normally)
@@Thatechoissoannoying agreed with Red having it, automatically makes Mega X better. For me personally however, just the sheer shock of seeing this form come out of nowhere, after already seeing mega Y, just blew my mind. Also the black coloring of charizard with BLUE flames?! I mean, cmon, that's sick looking!
Although Mega Y definitely looks more like what you'd expect a new evolution of charizard to actually look like.
YES! Even though I already lost my insanity already when I saw Mega Blaziken.
Woaaah
There is an aspect of Origins' Blue that is lost in the translation from Japanese. His name in Japan is Green (his color scheme is also green, not blue) and so when Red asks if he's going to pick Bulbasaur because of his name, he says "nah, that's stupid, I pick Squirtle". They try the same thing in the English dub but it doesn't work because he ends up picking his colored pokemon anyways.
It works in both languages, in the English dub; Blue said he's going to pick Squirtle not because it correlates with his name, but rather because it's a Water type with advantage against Red's Charmander, a Fire type.
@@ethanc.1443 Yes, but he had no reason to pick Bulbasaur, unlike Green who has a reason to pick Bulbasaur (his name) but picks Squirtle anyways. In English he doesn't really have to choose, he would never be interested in Bulbasaur.
@@ethanc.1443 Green says "Despite being called Green I pick Squirtle over Bulbasaur because it's stronger."
Blue says "I don't want to pick the Pokemon that goes with my name, but I pick Squirtle anyway".
Doesn't have the same impact. Because Bulbasaur is never suggested to him.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe green is the female counterpart in Japan according to Ken Sugimoris classic art
That's Blue. Green is the rival, because the original games were Red and Green. Both Blue the game and Blue the character were nowhere to be seen. If you check Bulbapedia for the Japanese names you can see they are swapped, becaus the international releases were Red and Blue.
Pokemon Generations is probably one of my favorite mini series that they’ve ever done. I remember thinking it was so cool and i loved every little look into the different regions
Origins was 10 years ago... wow I'm getting old. Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos Jordan! 👍
I was so ready for him to say "2018" or something
I wish pokemon took it self seriously more often like these spin offs try to do. Origins and many parts of Generations are some of my favorite Pokemon productions ever. This series has incredible potential that I feel barely gets realized.
the anime is a cash cow, of course they wouldn't until they feel like it. if the TPC wanted the new anime to last as long as ash's did, Liko would be pretty much unbearable as ash was if the anime lasted more than 5 years,
Same. It doesn't need to be nitty gritty edgy serious of course but give us a break from this overly sugarcoated mess
TPC and Nintendo are too paranoid about hurting Pokemon's kid friendly image to do anything serious.
They relegate all that to the manga.
The new anime is more serious
I'm glad that Pokémon origins is getting brought up again, watching Red struggle against Brock to then capturing Mewtwo at the end is an excellent development, poor ash could only dream of such a feat
Ash is the red my mom says is at home
Ash is the World Champion, lol
Ash is leagues above Red. Literally.
@thescorchingpteranodon7986 Why, cause he won two leagues?
Now I need the origin of Gold and Silver and Gold beating up red
The best part about Twilight Wings especially is how much personality each pokemon has, every single one is unique even among similar pokemon. Like Bea's Machop, Machoke, and Machamp, who all have completely different personalities, or Wooloo in general, or Corviknight and its consistently Menacing kindness
3:36 Two things I like about this scene:
1. Red's shown to treat this like a game rather than a serious commitment or real-life activity with related dangers attached to it. He doesn't try to catch an opponent's Pokémon out of malice, he does so because he legitimately isn't thinking about the implications of it. Not in a brain-dead stupid kind of way, but in a "never really considered that" kind of way.
2. In the games, when you try to catch another trainer's Pokémon it says the trainer blocked the ball. Not only is that weird (you think a 7 year-old bug catcher has the speed and reaction time to stop you from throwing a ball at his Pokémon?), but it kind of conflicts with the Snag Ball from the Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness games. In Origins, a barrier blocks the ball from working, showing that the Pokémon must be disconnected from its current pokéball to be put inside another one, which makes far more sense.
I always found these way more interesting than the regular anime with ash, and it saddens me that there is so little when they do them.
Its good because it was short
I know and they made red more serious ash was good too but I felt like the normal anime was good but kinda goofy especially with the rockets they should have had .ore involved in the series besides Jesse James and Butch and Cassidy
I don't mind goofy but I can't say I'm a huge fan of ash at least not after like unova. I like liko though but I would still prefer more of these then that.
@@Night-ec7ef facts same here
Maybe it's because they are not that popular and bring in money. I feel like these are passion projects that TPC gives employees a small budget to.
Yo this is an unexpected surprise. The rundown of ash's journey was so great, but I was interested in seeing more about these spinoffs
They should have made that series first before ash I mean it's good the mascot is Pikachu but the sane time introduce Red and Blue like the game
I said the same thing to the games. I mostly prefer Spinoff than the main game.
Just a small question
Have you played the games?
@@Jac735why bother making an anime of a product you’re TRYING to sell? Do you not understand how marketing works? Thank goodness you’re not in that area.
@DarkEclipse23 all of a sudden your all professional get real with yourself learn how to read my comment before you open your mouth that's why I said too 👎 and who said that I wanted to market what dude said were allowed to have opinions right 🤦🤷♂️who asked you anyways and mind your buisness
Regarding Emma/Essentia, yeah. The suit was very much controlling her. In the games, she describes it as taking a nap while in the suit. She eventually gets control of the suit and basically becomes a superhero of sorts.
Then the books it’s a little darker if I remember
The biggest contribution Origins made to the Pokemon canon was Brock's implication that he has different teams for different skill leveled trainers. Also the fact that Giovanni being disappointed Red is struggling with the normal type Snorlax could possibly be in reference of the actual competitive scene in which normal is the strongest type and Snorlax is arguably a top 3 Pokemon.
Im not gonna lie, these side anime Pokemon frequently put out frutrate me to no end, because it shows how appealing the idea of a Pokemon series aimed at a slightly older audience than what the normal anime provides can be.
The only outlet we have for a longform story like this is the Pokemon manga but that will never be animated and hardly anyone in the fandom knows they exist, and if they do it's because of the Lavender town chapter with the zombie Pokemon.
I think it’s not who it’s targeted to, but the length of the series. If Pokémon was a 25 episode series for a region it would just be so much better because it can tell a way more complete and tighter story.
@_peters6221Careful bro you're triggering the toxic Ash simps/Horizons haters out there who are blind to flaws and have the biggest nostalgia bias in all fandoms.
Horizons does a pretty good job
@@Mogushima and he is doing the great job, ash toxic fanboys must hear the truth just like red toxic fanboys.
Try giving Horizons a shot.
If the show doesn’t suddenly go on a downward spiral, it might just be up there with the manga as my favourite piece of Pokémon-media.
I still like to think red is ash his dad and is just chilling on that mountain dodging fatherly responsibilities😂
Even though origins was choppy, it represented the feels of going through the og games pretty well.
I LOVED Giovanni as the villain, and they did his character well. How they showed him switching out his gym pokemon for his good ones omg nostalgia!
Always love when Pokémon gives us short form series. It would be great if they gave us a full length series, in the vein of origins or any other spin-offs.
I would LOVE a proper Looker series, he's a great character and the episode with the orphan girl he took in just shows you what a show about him and those close to him could look like.
Honestly the diamond/pearl era with the main baddie trying to literally control god was such a good story arc
Generations was such a great mini series, by far the best episodes for me were the second univa story and the final story. The dark stuff surrounding these episodes were something we never seen so vividly in a pokemon series, from the massive amount of death team plasma created with freezing the city to az killing who knows how many pokemon and people with his ultimate weapon. Such dark stuff in pokemon was something new and i really did hope they would do somethign else dark because pokemon has a lot of dark themes in it that would make a great show for a more adult audience.
Sad that the spin offs blow the regular anime away. Always loved these significantly more
DUDE THE POKEMON RESCUE TEAM VIDEOS WERE MY FAVORITE. I WANTED A WHOLE SHOW WITH THEM
I love how much you've been covering Pokémon bro!
Keep it up!
One of my favorite channels👊
Any adaptation of Pokémon with Red in it is good in my book. He's like the Kazuma Kiryu of Pokémon
This has been a truly amazing episode. Thank you.
I’ll never get over that goofy ass animation of the rocket grunts approaching Lance.
Hisuian Snow is such great mini series. I went to Shiny hunt a Hisuian Zorua just because of it, but I love it's coloration so much that I can't bring myself to evolve it 😅
ikr
Alister is a fun character. In the pokemon Gatcha game, he talks about when he was young he died. And it was his ghastly (that would become his ace Gengar) that lead him back from the spirit world. So the little vignette with him helping the friends in hospital, does really track given his history with being sick.
Thank you so much for making this series
Biggest difference between origins and the main anime is red fully evolved all his pokemon. Man that's what made it 100% better
I actually really liked the story of Sword and Shield. You go about, learning that this long passed on legend is actually a lie that was being used to cover up the truth about the legendary Pokémon of the Galar region. Even Rose, he's not a bad guy but gets so stressed out about trying to ensure the safety of Galar that he gets paranoid and accidentally causes exactly what he wanted to avoid. I get why people don't like the games but the story is actually pretty good and a nice change from "bad guy wants world domination".
The mini series set in galar show rose's more human side, showing how he cares about people, he seems so authentic in the miniseries which i think the games don't protray well enough. Like he isn't just a bad guy who wants world domination or anything, but the games paint him pretty poorly and make him seem more like lysander who is a complete nut job than a well meaning guy who fell off his rocker.
The whole Leon and sick kid dynamic felt like a positive twist on the Make-a-Wish Foundation trope
Hisuian Snow really shows how much of a menace Hisuian Zoroark is. Being able to scare and alpha garchomp into running away with just your presence is terrifying
I never get tired of this man talking about series of my childhood
Same
is it just me or does anyone want more of these spin offs? these are the best!! I know its still pokemon but its just seems less childish than main series haha
I think you did such a great job with Ash's journey, and doing this was just totally above and beyond.
Origins and Generations were just great fun. I love Ash but getting to see other trainers do their own thing is awesome. I really think that now Ash is done, there will be a huge market for one off short stories in the Poke Verse, similar to what Star Wars tried to do since being purchased by Disney. THAT BEING SAID, let's hope they are able to maintain a higher standard for their universe that Star Wars had over the last few years 😅😅😅
In the Japanese version of gen 1, Red's rival is Green, and the Japanese version of Origins reflects this by giving him the same name. I don't know if the dub is different due to me having not seen the dub, but I do recall the starter scene involving Oak asking Green if he'll pick Bulbasaur for the same reason Red chose Charmander. Green smugly responds that he's not sappy like that and picks Squirtle so he'll have the advantage
He’s called Blue in the dub and he’s asked if he’ll choose Squirtle because of his name as well and replies he wouldn’t choose his Pokémon for that reason but chooses Squirtle anyway, because of type advantage.
Can confirm, the dub is different
@@ItsReallyGeo ahhh okay I figured as much XD
@@Santoryu90 I see, at least they still mostly followed the original's dialogue
@@mistermisfortune13 In general the dub itself is fine
The anime version of Pokemon Red/Blue was seriously emotional hitting.
OMG THERES MORE POKEMON STUFF!! WHOOOO!! after watching all your 8 episodes on Ash's complete journey, I literally can't believe you're pumping out more pokemon stuff! =D YOU ROCK!
I certainly wasn't expecting another hour of pokémon, but I'm very glad to have had the opportunity to watch it! Thanks for making all of this for us, Jordan, it's been amazing!
Gods, I want to watch pokémon from start to finish, now, but where would I find all of it?
Online somewhere. Pokemon tv has kanto, johto, alloa and the three journey seasons. Iplayer has sinnoh and unova so theres a start.
Awesome as always thanks your Pokémon videos helped reignite my passion for the franchise i wish they would dub all of these!
I love this, keep going man.
Watching this with a hot cup of coffee on Saturday morning the first cold day of the year for me. All is well.
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu. Zdraví Nogy.
Rewatching these makes me so happy that Pokemon has reached this stage. Each one showcases the heart that was always there but never fully explored.
I didnt realize it until lately but you're one of my favorite content creators, spawncast is where i found you
Every time I see you drop a video it actually makes my day.
The fight with geodude served as such an effective lesson about type matchups that he withdrew his fire type from the fight against a rock/ground type and sent out an even less effective poison type.
the x&y mega evolution specials are the best
Loving this long form content. I really enjoyed origins. I'm curious about the Hisuian show. Looks really good tbh.
Suprised you didn't talk about the old Pokemon Chronicles mini series! Maybe someday!
in Part 2
@@JordanFringe94 awww yisss can't wait, loving the Poke dive
Thanks again Jordan. Loving the Pokemon lore
Love his work
@@claymathewselevator8121 it’s great. Dude should be over 1mil subs with the work he does
Nothing like a fringe video to make laundry day a little brighter 😍
The best part of Origins was the HP bars! It feels a lot more legit when you can see the damage Blastoise and Charizard dealt each other. You can see how close it was! They needed that for the major mainline anime battles eg: *_1. Leon's Chaizard vs Alain's Mega Chaizard X._*
*_2. Ash-Greninja vs Sawyer's Mega Sceptile._*
*_3. Alain's Mega Chaizard X vs Trevor's Mega Charizard Y...etc._*
God man, I missed the vids so this is a beautiful bonus
I like Team Rocket being seen as an actual threat
Brother, whata dessert to finish off that whole ass meal of a series you just finished
Personally I was a huge fan of pokemon chronicles back in the day cause it showed Ethan and Krystal
Really enjoyed Pokémon Origins when it first released. 😇The Dialogue and storytelling is what i think a Pokémon anime should be instead of and all-kid-friendly show like the last seasons.
I appreciate how you added the "who's that pokemon" commercials. Chef's kiss of this editing.
Mega Lizardon X was a surprise in Origins. The moment Fuji-san mentioned "Kalos chihou" I got excited and knew it was a marketing for X and Y which would be released a few days later.
thanks for making this awsome video .
pokemon chronicles>>>>
thank you for putting so much time and effort into all your vids
So I think we as the players steal a charmander leon was going to give hop
Pokemon origins reignited old nostalgia for me... though my favorite part is the (in)famous squirtle chomp. I get a kick everytime i see that clip. Its flipping hilarious.
Twilight Wings is still my favorite bit of animated Pokémon media to this day.
Shingo Yamashita is one of the best and most creative directors working today, and it’s not hard to see why he’s so sought after with how he handled directing it.
It has such incredibly strong cinematography, and he along with the other animators on board put particular care into each character’s movements to really bring them to life. It really set a new bar for shows of this kind.
Ngl never seen this deoxys one, catching pokemon in space would be FIRE
I remember seeing someone point out in the Generations videos that the "video game" lead we see in each episode is the other one that Origins didn't used and by the time we get to Gold/Silver and Red/Blue/Green we are pulling from side stuff or remakes for the leads (also I remember the Internet loosing it at Green being the lead on the Kanto one, since she is a Japanese only character).
Wholesome stuff, this all takes me back.
Love these spinoffs
23:55 I love that there is a caterpie on screen for this line
The Generations editing was creative and inspriational! Awesome video and great breakdown as always
53:40: “wheres Leon?”
Rose: “idk man, the dudes bad with directions, he could be anywhere.”
I loved the Pokemon mini series and spinoffs . Chronicles, origins , evolutions , generations and twilight wings etc but enjoyable
Video: Who’s that Pokémon? (clearly not Pikachu)
Me: IT’S PIKACHU!!
Video: iiiiiiit’s Snorlax!
Me: GODDAMMIT!!!!
*EVERYTIME*
Origins was legit, especially with Bryce Pappenbrook and Lucien Dodge voicing Red and Blue, as well as Johnny Yong Bosch voicing Brock. We need a Red VS Ash battle at some point.
Thank you Mr fringe. Very pog
Origins is the only one that i have watched. It was the first pokemon related thing that I had watched in years. I stopped watching during the Ruby era. It was fun going back to somewhere so familiar and seeing it more from the game pov then the anime.
you did not release another hour long pokemon anime video
mannn, hats off to you
Seems that The Pokemon Company has been making more anime spin-offs as of late and I'm totally down for that!
I just finished the origins anime. Short and sweet. Moving on to Generations
I see all those little doodads and I hear your magic honeyed words, but let me ask you this
*"Do you even splash, bro"*
One thing about these miniseries I love is how they capitalize on what Pokemon as an anime is best at, impactful moments. As such, I disagree that they should be longer.
Gabby and Ty’s gulpin keychain was nice touch
BRO its kinda dope how bar for bar the beginning of Red and Ashes journey is! Even the stuff with Pidgey and the ratata except Ashs ratata stole his foodies😂
None of us ever forgot the vicious swuitle mauling the Charmander.
Hey Jordan! What about doing all Power Ranger season complete guide like you did for Pokemon anime? I think it'd be fun
Generations and Origins are both masterpieces I want whole seasons of these
The mystery dungeon anime was so good and fun. got me hyped for the game in a way the main series even couldn't
I really like the shorts, I wish they would make more of it
Happy Friday, J Money! Thanks for the weekend pick-me-up.
Hey thank you so much! Truly appreciate that!
This man doesn’t quit 💪💪
I’m still slowly working my way through the
12 HOUR
Survival video you made 😂😂
Imagine not starting with the Jimmy and Marina from Legend of Thunder! Smh
Amazing video tho!
Should start a petition for a looker series
Morty and Gengar in crowd was nice touch
I cant be the only one that want looker and detective pikachu to have a cross over.
Also Hasuian in snow is so cool. I never heard of it until now but watching as the beginning is of humans and pokemon is super refreshing. You can even say that him taking off at a young age to vefreind pokemon is the tradition of 10 year olds setting off on an adventure.
Shoutout to the Pokétoon shorts!!
I like the post credits scenes 😂
