Tbf doing something for fun makes even a whole thousand of content feel like just a few minutes, in contrast of doing it for work which also requires very careful observation and analysis
It should be like level 1000 at this point but it keeps reverting back with every new region. I’ll never forget when a Pikachu with experience in multiple championships lost to a Snivy with zero battle experience. Even with its electric moves sapped, that’s ridiculous.
That was definitely odd, though I have the feeling that they might’ve had it happen that way so that Trip would be seen by viewers as a meaningful rival. They probably thought that if they had him lose in their first match, viewers wouldn’t be very motivated to see what happens between them later on. As far as levels go, I’ve been wondering that too, but part of me has recently begun to feel that numerical levels don’t exist in cartoon in the same way they do in the games. For instance, one noteworthy thing is that when Pokémon evolve in the cartoon, it often happens during a tough match where evolving is necessary to win, which suggests Pokémon from the cartoon have a level of control over when they evolve, whereas in the games, most Pokémon evolve at a specific numerical level
yea probably thou for my sanity i just liked to cap Pikachu at what ever highest lvl it would be for a sertain region and him getting no more than 5/10 to the next one as he isnt an evoveld pokemon so getting exp after a sertain point where he should be evolved makes it harder (no real cannon to bese this on its just how i explained it to myself just to not have to think about it much while watching )

Can we please appreciate the fact that matpat watched 600 episodes, averaging 30 minutes each, and 13 movies, each averaging about 90 minutes, for a grand total of about 320 hours (or about 13 and a half days) of watching Pokémon anime. Kudos to you, friend.
@Nargacuga Wyvern I counted opening middle and closing commercials. But if you don’t count them, it’s still 240 hours (about 9 and a half days) which is a lot.
im still trying to figure out which is correct he says in the beginning of the video 651 eps but at the end only 600 eps and the 13 movies so which is it? thats still a TON but still
I'd hazard a guess that he skipped through the episodes until Pikachu came into play. That doesn't take away from the length of time it took to research this, but it's the most sensible way to do it.
All I remember from the calculating ash’s age episodes was that he had to look at real places in Japan, see what fruits were in season when, and figure out what season the show was in
I've always figured that Pikachu and ash have battles off screen we don't see. Like wild pokemon and trainers on their journey. Again, just a thought I've always had could be wrong
i miss the days when pokemon and human marriages were common. very owo times indeed. but it most likely still happens now. there are some pretty great pokemon out there uwu
@@lemonhead1571 yup, became cannon in the Japanese version of sinnoh, where in the library its said that a while ago pokemon and humans were equal and had relations with each other. Why in the hell they made this actually cannon boggles me
Plot twist: MatPat putting it into two episodes because he didn't actually finish the whole series yet and giving himself more time to watch it while his editor edits at the same time.
I appreciate all the work & effort that went into this video! One thing that cannot be understated about season 1 however, is the special training that Pikachu is put through by Brocks father. This shatters the mold for a standard Pikachus abilities & imo is what made this particular Pikachu so special.
Not just your head cannon. Idk why but thats the route they definitely went with whether they acknowledge it or not. Pikachu can defeat really strong pokemon at the end of regions but then gets his hind end handed to him by a lv5 snivy
He also cleared the battle frontier and it's described that all of them are on par with elite 4 members. If I remember 2 of them used legendary pokemon
@@bensell982 thanks for a reminder now I feel like a guilty party member that thinks ash is a problem child that keep on losing battles on the finals 😓
Sounds fun! Just 2 episodes where each other switch (one for each one) would be perfect. Dear Theorists, Hi! It's me, MATPAT!!! [actual episode which half is yelling] Sincerely, MatPat.
255 x region number. That's basically it. Resets to 1 when entering a new region. Achieves max level of 255 by the end of a region. Combines to the full value in movies. He prestiges.
His name is actually Tracey. (Not that I actually like Tracey) Casey is name of the girl in the Johto who has the Chikorita and liked yellow and black striped Pokemon. I'm just a big fan of the Pokemon anime.
@@clintonanderson7436 Whether something is canon in the anime has nothing to do with whether its in the games or not. The games and the anime are two different interpretations of the Pokemon universe, so one aspect existing in the games and not the anime or vice versa has nothing to do with whether its canon or not.
@@clintonanderson7436 I don't think it's that people take it as non-canon, but more that the Orange Islands League isn't considered a main Official Pokemon League. The Orange Islands are basically the Sevii Islands, and are a part of the Kanto region, which already has its Official League... and let's be fair, he'd have made it farther in the Kanto League had his Charizard battled. Ritchie would have definitely lost.
I think the reason why Pikachu losing to Snivy is that Snivy was given away at a higher level. It knew Leaf Tornado which it gets at Level 16. A regular level 5 starter Snivy would only have tackle as it's attacking move. And one extra reason why Pikachu lost to Snivy was because it was weakened, it couldn't use any electric type moves and it was exhausted because when
Matpat literally just answered one of my childhoods biggest questions concerning why ash always got rid of his team, the start of johto and how Ash's Pokemon were too powerful so he left them and when he went to the next region he did the same
Oh, Matt... Always behind all real Fans, huh? At the start of the Episode, i just wonder if he can even get stuff right, and at the end of the Episode, i have to answer: Nope... This is another obviously wrong theory and other, actual Experts have already found way better solutions before.
@@slevinchannel7589 Its a theory, it's purely speculation, it's quite clear that there's no such thing as a "correct" answer, because it's pretty obvious that the people who made the anime episodes and films did not put the game's leveling system into consideration, just from the sheer amount of inconsistencies between episodes vs the game.
I think in the pokemon show pikachu's (and all other pokemon) strength works kind of like how ours does. So you can basically lose strength after not training for a while. Given that I think whenever pikachu is taking a backseat to other pokemon he's getting weaker, but I also think battles are more realistic. Where even a lucky lower level pokemon can take down a much stronger opponent. Nothing like how the game is.
I classed ashes Pikachu as a special Pikachu as it refused to evolve so when ever ash took Pikachu to a new region Pikachu kept its level BUT had an ability no other Pikachu has had or any Pokémon and it's ability (I will call it) level adjust and it adjust Pikachu's level and stats to that of the surrounding area/environment and it also explains how Pikachu was able to beat so many spearows at the start and why Pikachu also refused to listen to ash to begin with
that or i just epxlain it with a lvl sacling mechanincs any game has your starting zone is lets say 1-25 the next zone/region is 25-35 and so on like what WoW used to do up to BFA so Pikachu just hitting those lvl caps for each zone till they move to the next is kind of easyer to comprihand than in cannon Pokemon and him getting stronger vs new pokemon is him just leveling his skills rathar his lvl and stats its kind of easyer to understand if its like that rathar than taking cannon from the games and compared to the anime + it makes more sence for Pikachu this way to not be too OP comprared to a new region suposedly lower lvl pokemon they encounter just to make the show interesting to be watched as a story and what not
Can we just sit down and appreciate the amount of effort MatPat does for his fanbase? It's incredible, and he's probably half insane by now. Thanks for all you do, MatPat, his editing team, and everyone that works with him.
I'd love to appreciate the work he put in, except this video is wrong, wrong, wrong wrong wrong in a thousand different areas. I can't accept how poorly this video was done. I can disprove and destroy virtually every aspect of this video with the anime itself, and somehow I'm to give him credit for making this? No.
@@idonotpost1456 the sad part is, you're trying so hard to be sarcastic, when, I actually know, and studied, the lore, extensively to where I currently write fanfiction by the lore. And, I don't need to know the lore at ALL to disprove his theory. For starters, the movies are not all "confirmed" canon. You can say they are, and that's fine, Bulbapedia will disprove you on that alone, and other theorists have shown what movies are outright canon and which are more subjective, like Lumiose Trainer Liam. Basing the levels of living, breathing creatures in the anime, on set levels of the ingame Pokemon, is ludicrous. Saying Team Rocket's Pokemon at the same level as in game grunts, without explaining why. Is that what you're defending? The TRio loses to Ash all the time, so to assume Giovanni's more competent grunts would match TRio's Pokemon levels is inconclusive, assumptive, and flat out wrong. Comparing the Indigo League levels to the ingame E4 levels when an actual E4 exists in the anime and is not related to the Leagues in the anime in any way, is absolutely lazy. He even think no one remebers the Orange Islands when it is a consistently brought up arguement for Ash's accomplishments as a Trainer in literally, LITERALLY, ANY Pokemon discussion about Ash, but somehow you think no one knows about it. Please, show me, where I'm wrong in any of this, oh great, powerful, smarter than me commenter, that I may apologize for my apparent lack of knowledge. I await you oh great one, to teach me in the errors of my ways. When you do so, allow me to humbly bow at your feet, my king, my god, my ruler.
Also, Pikachu defeated a Geodude with an electric attack. Geodude is Rock-ground type. it should've been immune to electric attacks. Anime logic, folks.
I’ve always held the anime and the game completely separate. I’m the game you level up and get stronger linearly, in the anime it always seems that they don’t operate on level strength whatsoever, more willpower and strategy lead to wins and evolution is usually based on things like maturity, emotion, and location. Trying to make show and game logic mix will always be a headache for Pokémon lovers.
I think most people just forgot about Orange Island and hardcore fans just don’t acknowledge it because even the animators said it’s not canon. The Orange Island season was a filler season, rushed because the next season was pushed back due to some reason. In short, Orange Island is like the “Dragon Ball GT” of Pokémon.
Technically in the newer Pokémon anime’s we see pikachu’s backstory as a pichu which can only be obtained by breeding therefore pikachu can learn voltackle
Ash's Pikachu had previously tied with a latios at the end of diamond and pearl, I don't think his exact level matters after tying with an actual legend
@Gff G An overwhelming amount of unfortunate people have videos of magnets sticking to there arms, the mark of the beast is here like the bible said, I would post all of them on here but in this world you get strikes and negativity for saying the truth, go to the community section on my channel! The mark of the beast is the vaxx! Kanye west warned us the vax is the mark of the beast remember? We thought he was crazy!
i cant imagine that helps all that much in the long run since later levels are such a slow down it would mostly even out, i can drag something new up to 30-40 in less than half an hour but if i want to get something from 60 to 70 thats more of an issue
Two bots responded to you and i though the two were links for a clip of what you say. Damn, TH-cam is getting in a dark route, isn't it? At least before you have the Rick Rolls and Darudemix.
I was always baffled how much pikachu sucked during the tv series, but would be an unstoppable powerhouse that would showdown with gods in almost every movie, and somehow both were considered cannon.
MatPat: "It's been three years since I researched Ash's age." Me: "Wait, that wasn't last year? How have I gotten this bad at keeping track of time as I've gotten older?"
"So how do you you kill a a bunch of legendary pokemon using pikachu that are under level every pokemon trainer " Ash : " using power of love " "Of course *sigh*"
Hey, the power of love has been fairly OP since it was introduced in Gen VII. Avoid 100% accurate attacks, resistinf fainting with 1HP, curing from ailments. The only thing that the power of love still can't do that Ash magically does is hitting ground-types with electric moves.
Commenting at the ten minute mark, I feel behooved to mention that Pikachu also gains exp when ash uses him then switches, so if the enemy tosses another mon before ash can switch them Pikachu gets half that xp too
If you assume that he watched 8 hours of pokemon every day, it would still have taken him about 50 days to watch the entire series... You gotta be really hardcore to do that.
Since we are using the in-game calculations, there is another variable that might come up that wasn't mentioned in the initial equation. Exp. totals should be divided by the total number of allied pokémon that took part in a given battle, and didn't end the battle fainted (e.g; if both Pikachu and Caterpie were used in a battle, and neither pokemon fainted, then the total should only be worth half for Pikachu)
That third gym leader from Johto really is a Demon in disguise, I should know, I suffered the same fate of that stupid Demonic Miltank to the point that I bought more than 100 potions.
@@Sebbir how did you come to that conclusion? All I said was that we don't have to be told to appreciate his work. his income is evidence of our appreciation. It is appreciation.
The orange Islands are pretty forgitable, plus the Orange league isn't much of a league its just one match. As previously set up even after the orange island ark
#001 This is practically the closest we'll ever get for Ash to venture through a League as if it was in the video games. Orange Islands is pretty much Gen 1 Alola. I always found it funny about that.
If I recall correctly, ash also came straight out of the indigo league into a battle with a level 5 chikorita and pika got washed there too. but not as bad as with snivy. That's a 20 year old memory stuck in my head.
@@Destroyer-kr6ho I stopped watching a few episode later when the characters kept introducing themselves and their whole teams every single episode, and the "whose that Pokemon" split was covered by multiple mentions of said Pokemons name before and after, and I realized I was way too old to be watching a show geared towards 5 year olds
I have a theory that once,when Ash Pikachu was a Pichu and was under Kangaskhan, it evolved then it notice that Kangaskhan could not carry him around so he left. so Pikachu thinks that if he evolves he has to leave Ash or stay inside his Pokeball as ash can not carry Raichu
@@zerotankor I mean it's possible, but MatPat has other theories that he looks into every so often so I can understand your doubt, plus he has even said he has a team to look into these theories so they could of just watched it for him
@@krisskross7700 There could also be the possibility of him having watched them over a long period. After all, he mentioned a three year old video, and he had to watch the episodes back them. Still, it's plausible that his team may have watched them for him. He has to deal with multiple channels and has a little son, I doubt he would have the time to watch 651 episodes of Pokémon, even if it's technically work for him
@@NIDELLANEUM Yh, I had that thought, but when does a man have time like that when he is dropping theories almost every week or so lol. As much as I don't want to immediately call MatPat out and say he's lying, the guy above defo has a point
So, while I assume you've already taken note of this and we will hear it next episode, I just want to remind you and everyone else that in that infamous snivy fight, Pikachu was weakened because of Zekrom having given Pikachu an electric overload or something. So that has to be taken into account regarding how he could lose the fight against a lvl 5 snivy.
To be honest if pokemon in the anime learn the same moves at the same level as in the games that snivy would have to be at least lv 16 where it learns leaf tornado, and it can only learn leaf tornado through level but thats assuming the anime follows the games lv and move rules.
Simply not possible if we calculate the hours of pokemon footage he would have to watch taking into consideration sleeping, eating, excerise, parental duties, relaxtion and toilet breaks MatPat wouldn't be able to watch all the episodes let alone crunch those numbers and make this video. It's simply not possible for him to do this in one week since there's only 168 hours in a week and those anime episodes are about 25 minutes long multiplied by about 600 episodes we have the grand total of 15,000 minutes divided by 60 gives us 250 hours of raw pokemon footage for MatPat to watch and that's not taking into account the length of the movies either, so in short it's physically and mentally impossible for MatPat to pull this off alone while also doing livestreams, Flim Theories and Food Theories all at the same.
PLEASE tell me you're going to release those battle notes for all the Pokéwikis! On a similar note, I've always wanted a whole list of episodes with evolution. Those were my favorite episodes as a child.
As one wise man said(it was me): “Pikachu has the same level, as an amount of stars you can see by looking at the sky…” and “Do you know how many HP does have Pikachu? It’s like a Number of Grem, but bigger!”
Well, they both better hope too they don't run into Red who would curbstomp their asses with his level 81 beast of a Pikachu. (In HG/SS, he's even more ridiculous at level 88.)
Matpat : *makes a Theory about what level Ash's pickachu really is* TH-cam : "ah yes, must be a sneak preview of that new Pokemon game they'll be releasing in 2022"
I appreciate the fact that they literally watched through all 651 episodes and 13 movies, for this one video. His persistence is praiseworthy. What blew my mind was that Pikachu wasn't at least lvl 50 after so many episodes.

Have you ever considered that Pikachu not living in a pokeball might make even gain XP on all his daily travels and adventure vice only fighting?
Ooo like Pokémon go
Maybe not?
When we see it in mainline games like HGSS, no passive Exp gain happens.
Or that he, Brace yourselves: fights/trains OFF camera! 🤯🤯🤯
The fact he watched every episode of pokemon as well as all 13 movies for this theory alone is some dedication
th-cam.com/video/4Pp8kqXTi2I/w-d-xo.html
There's 23 movies
@ARIANA'S NEIGHBOUR Yeah no, who cares maybe you should get a job if your old enough and if your not yoh probably don't need one, and if your just doing youtube for that, yeah no be like me make content and wait, make good content don't beg people
I should have been in those movies and episodes. Pikachu took my place
@ARIANA'S NEIGHBOUR alright everyone he isn't even making content it looks like hes copying music, so hes not even a youtuber really so yeah he doesn't deserve it tbh
Can we please appreciate the fact that matpat watched 600 episodes, averaging 30 minutes each, and 13 movies, each averaging about 90 minutes, for a grand total of about 320 hours (or about 13 and a half days) of watching Pokémon anime. Kudos to you, friend.
@Nargacuga Wyvern I counted opening middle and closing commercials. But if you don’t count them, it’s still 240 hours (about 9 and a half days) which is a lot.
im still trying to figure out which is correct he says in the beginning of the video 651 eps but at the end only 600 eps and the 13 movies so which is it? thats still a TON but still
th-cam.com/video/Me-kREEUGPk/w-d-xo.html
He couldve watched it at a faster speed like 1.5x
I'd hazard a guess that he skipped through the episodes until Pikachu came into play. That doesn't take away from the length of time it took to research this, but it's the most sensible way to do it.
Plot twist: Ash's hat is actually an EXP Share so the battles won by other Pokemon also boost Pikachu level
Lol this entire time Ash has been playing his game with the XP share turned on
It's a fused item lol
Lol
That would kill MatPat
Yes
Thank you for watching all this Pokémon Tom, now we know who was crazy enough to do that
“Electric type move doesn’t affect ground types”
Pikachu: WHO DECIDED THAT?
oh definitely Brock. and in the second match, Pikachu's thundershock pierced through onyx. lol
@mournblank you missed the joke
Came here for this exact comment...oh Marowak gets jolted? Literally grounded out O.o

True
All I remember from the calculating ash’s age episodes was that he had to look at real places in Japan, see what fruits were in season when, and figure out what season the show was in
Why are so many people spamming?
It shocks me how much effort MatPat has to put in for Theories on Ash and the things around him.
Nice pun
Lol
I've always figured that Pikachu and ash have battles off screen we don't see. Like wild pokemon and trainers on their journey. Again, just a thought I've always had could be wrong
Matpat: Every movie is canon

Latias is my favorite Legendary Pokémon. I absolutly love the look of it, and it just is amazing in general.
every time Team Rocket blasts off, it's actually a calculated move to rob Ash and Pikachu of some much needed exp

I appreciate all the work & effort that went into this video!
One thing that cannot be understated about season 1 however, is the special training that Pikachu is put through by Brocks father. This shatters the mold for a standard Pikachus abilities & imo is what made this particular Pikachu so special.
My head Canon was always that he like, resets in between regions. I dunno, not the most sophisticated theory, but it worked for me
Not just your head cannon. Idk why but thats the route they definitely went with whether they acknowledge it or not. Pikachu can defeat really strong pokemon at the end of regions but then gets his hind end handed to him by a lv5 snivy
It did until journeys because he can recall everything in that show
It would explain who he know electro ball on season and didn’t know it next season
@@bitviper3430 Or his electroball just got written over by some other cool new move that has significant importance in the new region

Ash: Wins the Orange Island League

If I remember: nobody acknowledges the orange islands plot because we all left the series around that time. Everyone missed Brock and hated Casey
I thought was because none accepted it as canon, because it's not in the games.
His name is actually Tracey. (Not that I actually like Tracey) Casey is name of the girl in the Johto who has the Chikorita and liked yellow and black striped Pokemon. I'm just a big fan of the Pokemon anime.
@@clintonanderson7436 Whether something is canon in the anime has nothing to do with whether its in the games or not. The games and the anime are two different interpretations of the Pokemon universe, so one aspect existing in the games and not the anime or vice versa has nothing to do with whether its canon or not.
@@clintonanderson7436 I don't think it's that people take it as non-canon, but more that the Orange Islands League isn't considered a main Official Pokemon League. The Orange Islands are basically the Sevii Islands, and are a part of the Kanto region, which already has its Official League... and let's be fair, he'd have made it farther in the Kanto League had his Charizard battled. Ritchie would have definitely lost.

Wow...
The real reason to go to school.
Its episodes like this that make me realize how much mat loves us. Ik i wouldn’t watch nearly that much pokemon, but he did it, the mad man
I think the reason why Pikachu losing to Snivy is that Snivy was given away at a higher level. It knew Leaf Tornado which it gets at Level 16. A regular level 5 starter Snivy would only have tackle as it's attacking move. And one extra reason why Pikachu lost to Snivy was because it was weakened, it couldn't use any electric type moves and it was exhausted because when
Pikachu: *Defeat's a whole Dragonite*
Also Pikachu: *Can't beat a level 5 snivy*
Pikachu: Double KOs with a Latios.
His next battle: Gets KOed by a Snivy experiencing it's very first battle.
This is another obviously wrong theory
and other, actual Experts have already
found way better solutions before.

@@slevinchannel7589 Its a theory, it's purely speculation, it's quite clear that there's no such thing as a "correct" answer, because it's pretty obvious that the people who made the anime episodes and films did not put the game's leveling system into consideration, just from the sheer amount of inconsistencies between episodes vs the game.
Isn't One Piece nearing 1000 episodes, he saw like 650
@@justadude4176 You're correct. If anything Mat would've made it a little over halfway through One Piece.
not even
I think in the pokemon show pikachu's (and all other pokemon) strength works kind of like how ours does. So you can basically lose strength after not training for a while. Given that I think whenever pikachu is taking a backseat to other pokemon he's getting weaker, but I also think battles are more realistic. Where even a lucky lower level pokemon can take down a much stronger opponent. Nothing like how the game is.
Basically: the level the writers need him to be depending of the scale they want to put Ash in in that season.
Yep see thing happens with super heroes they seem to vary alot based on that weekends plot

Luckily he has a team to cut down on the workload. So they probably split it up.
I classed ashes Pikachu as a special Pikachu as it refused to evolve so when ever ash took Pikachu to a new region Pikachu kept its level BUT had an ability no other Pikachu has had or any Pokémon and it's ability (I will call it) level adjust and it adjust Pikachu's level and stats to that of the surrounding area/environment and it also explains how Pikachu was able to beat so many spearows at the start and why Pikachu also refused to listen to ash to begin with
that or i just epxlain it with a lvl sacling mechanincs any game has your starting zone is lets say 1-25 the next zone/region is 25-35 and so on like what WoW used to do up to BFA so Pikachu just hitting those lvl caps for each zone till they move to the next is kind of easyer to comprihand than in cannon Pokemon and him getting stronger vs new pokemon is him just leveling his skills rathar his lvl and stats its kind of easyer to understand if its like that rathar than taking cannon from the games and compared to the anime + it makes more sence for Pikachu this way to not be too OP comprared to a new region suposedly lower lvl pokemon they encounter just to make the show interesting to be watched as a story and what not

@@idonotpost1456 the sad part is, you're trying so hard to be sarcastic, when, I actually know, and studied, the lore, extensively to where I currently write fanfiction by the lore. And, I don't need to know the lore at ALL to disprove his theory. For starters, the movies are not all "confirmed" canon. You can say they are, and that's fine, Bulbapedia will disprove you on that alone, and other theorists have shown what movies are outright canon and which are more subjective, like Lumiose Trainer Liam. Basing the levels of living, breathing creatures in the anime, on set levels of the ingame Pokemon, is ludicrous. Saying Team Rocket's Pokemon at the same level as in game grunts, without explaining why. Is that what you're defending? The TRio loses to Ash all the time, so to assume Giovanni's more competent grunts would match TRio's Pokemon levels is inconclusive, assumptive, and flat out wrong. Comparing the Indigo League levels to the ingame E4 levels when an actual E4 exists in the anime and is not related to the Leagues in the anime in any way, is absolutely lazy. He even think no one remebers the Orange Islands when it is a consistently brought up arguement for Ash's accomplishments as a Trainer in literally, LITERALLY, ANY Pokemon discussion about Ash, but somehow you think no one knows about it.

I’ve always held the anime and the game completely separate. I’m the game you level up and get stronger linearly, in the anime it always seems that they don’t operate on level strength whatsoever, more willpower and strategy lead to wins and evolution is usually based on things like maturity, emotion, and location. Trying to make show and game logic mix will always be a headache for Pokémon lovers.

So, while I assume you've already taken note of this and we will hear it next episode, I just want to remind you and everyone else that in that infamous snivy fight, Pikachu was weakened because of Zekrom having given Pikachu an electric overload or something. So that has to be taken into account regarding how he could lose the fight against a lvl 5 snivy.
To be honest if pokemon in the anime learn the same moves at the same level as in the games that snivy would have to be at least lv 16 where it learns leaf tornado, and it can only learn leaf tornado through level but thats assuming the anime follows the games lv and move rules.

It's simply not possible for him to do this in one week since there's only 168 hours in a week and those anime episodes are about 25 minutes long multiplied by about 600 episodes we have the grand total of 15,000 minutes divided by 60 gives us 250 hours of raw pokemon footage for MatPat to watch and that's not taking into account the length of the movies either, so in short it's physically and mentally impossible for MatPat to pull this off alone while also doing livestreams, Flim Theories and Food Theories all at the same.
i imagine it's gonna be a while until part 2, still look forward to what the final level is though!
Imagine having to watch the entire Pokémon anime series for your job.
That would be great
And I think he's done it multiple times now
at least what you're watching is worth your while
imagine if he did one piece

Ash in a Pokemon movie: I must die everytime I am in a movie, my goals are beyond your understanding
Nah he didn't die in pokenon sun and moon
@@codysero5369 ok bro why
@@codysero5369 Sun and moon never had any movies. They were in a separate timeline that happen to have some aloha pokemon but mostly kanto pokemon.
@@iamcoolrthenu2710 okay
um Ash never dies in movies or the series except in movies that take place in Kanto
PLEASE tell me you're going to release those battle notes for all the Pokéwikis!
On a similar note, I've always wanted a whole list of episodes with evolution. Those were my favorite episodes as a child.
This is another obviously wrong theory
and other, actual Experts have already
found way better solutions before.
As one wise man said(it was me):
“Pikachu has the same level, as an amount of stars you can see by looking at the sky…”
and
“Do you know how many HP does have Pikachu? It’s like a Number of Grem, but bigger!”
ASH: gets age calculated
Pikachu: gets judged for power
Maybe next he'll calculate just how many times Brock struck out with women. :P
@@Drakin292 thats impossible
Well, they both better hope too they don't run into Red who would curbstomp their asses with his level 81 beast of a Pikachu. (In HG/SS, he's even more ridiculous at level 88.)
