Raid's lucky to get on these vids!!
The gigantic size of the tournament compared to the one in the US was probably in part thanks to the public transportation in Japan. I remember when I was a kid I had no way to go to a tournament because I'd have to either drive for 3 hours (i couldn't lmao) or buy some 200 dollar plane ticket. Meanwhile kids in Tokyo could spend like 20 dollars to go on a train to Chiba. Even kids in further cities like Nagoya could probably afford a way there if they saved up for a while in preparation. Even for adults this would be beneficial
I would kill for a public transit system in the States. New York is the closest thing we have, and it's still miles and miles behind the efficiency of the Japanese rail.
The Kangaskhan parent-child tournament sounds awesome! Just shows how big Pokemon is in Japan specifically compared to other countries.
It's an interesting event, to be sure!
can’t imagine how sick that felt to play a tournament with your kid
"Hungry Snorlax" has to be the funniest metagame-viable card ever.
Pokemon is still big nowadays, but man it was MASSIVE back then.
Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.
Mass respect for doing this historic research. These events absolutely deserve this sort of spotlight
Thanks! Pokumon did a lot of the leg work for this one, but we do enjoy doing research. Wait until the next Japanese video, we got hold of some lost media we're gonna cover. 😉
@@rubyretro Still it's really cool to have an easily-accessible anthology of something niche, but very interesting in that niche context
I didn't know this until now but I absolutely love over analyzing 20 year old matches.
Welcome to the club!
This has CRAZY documentation! Turn-by-turn playbacks from 25 years ago is wild.
Thanks for watching!
The short descriptions of what each player did well were hilarious. It feels like they both had to explain things in a way that non tcg players could understand and also not repeat anything.
I understand the pain of researching old & foreign topics. Great job!
🥰 Thanks as always
Man. I remember being in high school in the late 90’s and early 00’s and playing base set and jungle and other sets games at the toys r us. Wish I still had those cards. Lol.
I started watching your videos a few days ago. Already finished all lf them. How on earth do you only have 13k subscribers? Keep up the good work, I'm sure very soon there will be a boost in subscribers.😊
Thanks! We hope so too!
Please continue making more videos on the Japanese Pokemon TCG community! I wasn't aware there was stuff made detailing this far back. I wrote articles for Six Prizes back in the day on my personal experience there and rarely saw anything else ever made on the Japanese community
We plan to! There are lots of interesting things out of Japan.
These videos are my favorite things to kick back and relax to. I must’ve seen them all at least 3 times now, especially as I sleeve cards. My mom brought my old collection from America recently, so today’s sleeve sesh was a perfect fit for this new video. Thanks for the amazing work!
It's so very much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
28:05
He really proved that luck is a skill
I suspect what actually happened is the deck had a lot more search and draw cards in paper but whoever published the list didn't figure out what it all was and just filled in the gaps with more lightning. Appreciate that they at least tried and they didn't know we'd care about these things 25 years later but it's a shame we'll never know what people were playing exactly.
Nice animations man, I love how you guys recreated the games that had enough information. The disappearing Pikachu at around 5:38 made me actually laugh too. Great job to the editor!
I'm glad someone noticed it. I thought it might be funny to have pikachu blast off like Team Rocket.
12 minutes in. Why am I not surprised that a Haymaker deck with Rockets Sneak attack won, over some grass deck with Hungry Snorlax. Man. If only these kids knew the power of Lickitungs "Tongue Wrap" attack!
That's how it be.
im so glad that youtuber historians like you exist. one day you'll be getting the views you deserve.
We hope we continue to grow and can one day commit even more time to making videos. Thank you for watching!
Thank you, Nicholas, Aaron and Alex. You´re the best
❤️ You're too kind
Kangaskhan part child tournament!! how adorable!!!
One of my favorite series on TH-cam back at it again with another banger. Absolutely loving this.
Appreciate you!
It is now my headcanon that that all these super weird lists with 20 Energy and little to no consistency were actually much more reasonable, but poorly recorded, with basic Energy just filling in the blanks.
This is the best headcanon
Wait: 20+ energy is considered unreasonable?
This video so awesome, Im a card gamer from Malaysia so basically the meta in that year 2000 is all about hitmochan, electabuzz and plenty of super energy removal, super potion and bill.
Man, I just cannot get over how great these videos are. Keep 'em comin'!
Thanks for the compliment! We will continue to do so!
This series is too good. So much nostalgia. I never collected as a kid but I remember getting the Cool Porygon card with Pokémon stadium - it was my first and only card, with my first game console!
The Raid sponsorship caught me off guard LMAO - nice video! Congrats on getting the sponsorships and looking forward to more videos!
Thanks for watching!
Astonishing reconstruction guys, this Is Amazing, keep going!
😊 Thanks
Leaving a comment for the algorithm and because I’m loving this content! It’s so insightful, informational, and incredibly well done in terms of scripting and editing.
Keep making content! I love learning about the history of the games I love!
Thanks! We will!
Was literally just thinking “I need a new retro ruby video” and lo and behd you delivered. I find the series you’ve been making so fascinating, I really hope you intend to make Pokémon tcg competive history videos covering up to at least the xy era
We plan to eventually cover everything, or at least, as much as we can. Thanks for watching!
Blessing us with the good content again!! 😊 so happy you’re getting sponsors now! You guys deserve it!!! The deck for Takata is definitely wild having the flying Pikachu XD I love these videos!
Thanks for your support, as always. I saw you popped up on Patreon, too. Much love! ❤️
Absolutely love your videos man, but has anybody ever told you that you sound exactly like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory lol. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Been saying this for a while. I've watched "Home" with my kids enough to recognize Jim Parsons's voice anywhere.
xD ok i just double checked and 2007 Yugioh didn't have video coverages for the Worlds either we only have some poorly made fotos and deck lists. Most of the larger tournaments had written coverages (yeah some guy at the feature match area and noted every single action during the game and then uploaded that approx 4 min afterwards online :D
but your history videos are awesome!!
Take a drink everytime this guy says san.
It's just the normal way to formally say names in Japanese.
Congrats on 10k subs !
Appreciate that!
My man running Flying Pikachu
Awesome, can't wait for part 3 of this mini-series!
We are also excited about it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you again for the quality content!
Thank you again for watching!
Man I love these videos. Keep em up!
Thanks! We hope to!
6:54 “Using PlusPower well… whatever that means.”
Isn’t it obvious? “Using PlusPower well” means “Playing 14 PlusPower in a game”: 4 PlusPower, 4 Item Finder, 4 Recycle, and 4 Fossil Slowpoke.
My heart is hot, but my mind is calm.
So poetic.
Fantastic job !!!
Thanks!
I love your videos so much but I'd recommended double checking the kana you're adding. It seems like the names of the players have been converted directly from English into hiragana instead of using the original kana. For example, しんたろう is often written in English as Shintaro but if you go directly letter for letter it's written as Shintarō (Shintarou) in romaji. Usually long vowels like ō or ou are simply written as an o to make it easy to read in English. So when you convert romanized name Shintaro back into Japanese as しんたろ you're missing the う at the end. Same goes for names like Katō (Katou), Sōsuke (Sousuke) and so forth. Also when referring to young male competitors (like high school and below) it's more common to use -kun instead of -san, but since they're all adults in the current day I guess it makes a bit of sense lol. You can also use -senshu (選手), which is a gender neutral term that means competitor. It's the term that's used in the book you referenced. No hate just trying to give advice to make your videos even better!
I can only really go off of what translated romanji we have. I know hiragana and katakana but barely any kanji. I try to look at the untranslated pages as well, but when they're presented in kanji, I go through a kanji conversion site that is supposed to break it down into the original kana. However, it seems it's not perfect since it was presented to me as 'o' and not 'ō' or 'ou' (even in the hiragana form). Is it a universal rule that letters ending in 'o' will always be followed by う (so=sou, ro=rou, ko=kou, etc.)? If so, I can be sure to write it a such for the next one and any Japanese videos going forward. While it is mostly a stylistic choice, I'd still love for it to be as accurate as possible, but also something for people only just learning Japanese, like myself, to enjoy. That's why I (mostly) prefer to break down all the kanji. Appreciate your feedback on it!
Wow, thank you!
Thank YOU!
I've heard of Kumon but not Pokumon 🧐
