Hey everyone, As a bit of a treat for those who read the comments, I will tell you that the Sun and Moon video is in production and will likely be out in either August or September. Thank you all so much for your support and patience, and have a wonderful day!
Working my way through the video, just wanted to say that for the psychic type weaknesses, they actually do make a lot of sense if you think about psychic representing the mind, which is "weak" to fears like ghosts, bugs, and the dark
In early 2000 I watched two kids get into a fist fight over whether or not a togetic could evolve into a Lugia by some yet undiscovered method. The poke myths were a huge part of early Pokemon's success.
This goes for basically every argument before we could access the Internet everywhere. We could argue over the stupidest shit imaginable, now it's a Western high noon duel of who can Google it the fastest.
As someone who likes to binge these Poke-Restrospectives, thanks for putting these together! Looking forward to the Sun and Moon retrospective; take your time with it!
I found your channel a couple of months ago and I smoked these pokemon retrospective videos like 3 times each. I love your tone, the way you talk and narrate the different topics. Keep up the good work man, looking forward to the rest of the series and see what you think of the rest of the pokemon games
I don’t remember when I first came across your channel, but I’ve been following you for a few years now, and I love absolutely everything you’ve put out! Your format and style is amazing. Recently I’ve been playing your videos for background noise to get me through my days at work (I’m a mechanic) and this video has gotten me through a very slow day today.

I woukd definitely argue that psychics weaknes wasn't just random, it fits the theme that psychic is typically related to mental and bugs are typically fears and affect people mental state, it just doesn't help that bugs were wack in the first gen
Super happy to hear the next gen video is on the way. Obviously, take your time. Your videos absolutely helped me get into a Pokémon high to the point where I'm juggling several of the games and even started replaying Ultra Sun with baby pokemon I bred and transfered from ORAS.
11:40 Psychic's weaknesses are all fears that people have. Fear of bugs, fear of ghosts, and fear of the dark. I know that Ghost wasn't super effective against psychic in the first game, but I'm pretty sure the devs said it was a glitch that it wasn't. Obviously there were a ton of glitches, but they fixed it in the later games. Edit: Fixed the timestamp
A brief review? 5 hours is brief? .... Seriously tho I am so thankful for people like you, who are willing to put so much time and effort into making great content about things that I love.
11:39 I've heard that the reason psychic is weak to bug is because psychic represents the mind, and bugs represent a fear we have (as well as dark and ghost btw). Who knows, maybe it's just a way to remember it but it makes a lot of sense to me.
That makes no logical sense whatsoever. Humans do not have an inherent fear of bugs. Children literally play with them in the dirt. Furthermore, burning, freezing, drowning, heights, poisons, etc are all fears "we" have, too. For that matter, might as well just include every human being and every qualifier, since we're pretending that "we" is this one blanket entity with one set of traits.
Black and white has been, and always will be my favorite Pokemon game, I was around 6 or 7 when they came out, I had dabbled in Platinum, HGSS before, but was too young at the time to understand them, but I always felt more in tuned with the experience Gen 5 offered, I grew up with those Pokemon designs and fell in love with them, and while not a lot of them are my favorite, having played previous and later generations later in my life, I still love all those Pokemon, and the story was absolutely amazing, even as a little kid I felt like I was actually learning from the message the game was trying to tell me, and I feel like the reason why Pokemon games are my favorite is because Pokemon Black and White existed. So when I gained access to the internet and learned that when it came out ppl didn't like it very much I was so confused, I'm glad it gets the appreciation it deserves today. Imo the greatest generation of Pokemon.
I think I commented on the original video but I'll add it here as well: In Sweden there were Celebi events! Possibly because Sweden has had a strong Nintendo presence since the 80s through the company Bergsala (who even had a game help hotline until the early 2000s). My brother went to a mall on the event day in our city, got one Celebi for each of us siblings' cartridges, and also got a Celebi poster that hangs on my old bedroom wall to this day ❤
Well, I'm playing Pokémon Shield again, so I might as well go full fan boy and listen to Pokémon while playing Pokémon. Really looking forward to the Sun / Moon video. Quite the divisive generation.
Courtesy of my brain shifting back to Pokemon lately, your videos have popped up on my feed. And now this one drops in the midst of mindlessly hunting everything to complete my Platinum living national dex. Fantastic timing, to be sure.
the voice actor who play Ash Ketchum in Pokemon need to come to Rhode Island this year. Both Ash Ketchum ( Veronica Taylor and Sarah Natochenn) need to come to Rhode Island comic con this year.
Oh hey a brief review of pokemon gen 1-5, perfect for watching while I make breakfast. *30 min in its still gen 1* How long is this-HOLY FUCK 5 HOURS??
Red was my first pokemon game ever, then silver, then ruby, then colosseum, and then leaf green. I then did not play pokemon for 18 years and came back to it. Played through gen 4 and then gen 5. And after playing the newer games (legends arceus and scarlett) I can say poke.on was it's best in 2D (imo). But I'm also old.
BRUH! YES! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT ABOUT ABSOL! LET'S FLIPPIN' GO! 😎😎 🤜🤛 Absol became my #1 favorite Pokemon of all time. My first reaction stumbling upon it as a kid while playing Ruby when it first came out had me thinking I was looking at a psuedo legendary. Like my jaw literally dropped when seeing the design of that thing let me tell you man. I will never forget those times back in the day and still to this day no other Pokemon has come CLOSE to beating it in terms of design for me. It's just so damn cool! And knowing its story about it being misunderstood while actually being a docile Pokemon just adds to it so much. Not to mention with the whole background of it representing duality or Yin and Yang. The moment you spoke about it have that majestic yet also foreboding feel/vibe to its design, I knew right there you understood exactly the appeal of this Pokemon. And like you, it also got me to be Dark Pokemon enjoyer, though before Absol my last favorite was Umbreon which was also Dark. So in the long run, I always had gravitated to Dark types.😆 I love this Pokemon so much while my other favorites being Meowscarada and Lucario. I'm so excited of Absol making a return in Legends ZA given it has a Mega Evolution, so it's gonna be so flippin' amazing to see it in that kind of gameplay style! I can't freaking wait man! 😆
me having watched the individuals videos: "oh King has a new video about all the classic gens of pokemon i definitely have not watched this before time to binge"
Silver is also Giovanni’s son. How do you find that out? In the remakes! …through the limited event. It’s almost poetic that the remake butchers another idea with the Celebi event.
LETS GO! Now I can retire my playlist of the other videos and just watch this! Thank you ❤ Im looking forward to the next upload! Its been a good companion while I work on ribbon master stuff
Hey KingK, your comment about finding people to battle being impossible is valid, but have you seen PokeMMO? That's an even better place for multiplayer retro Pokemon in the modern day. Id love to see a video on that!
I love your retrospects. Very accute observations. If you played the originals when they came out, going through towers/fields battling multiple trainers with the same pokemon did not feel like padding. The massive size of the world and having to work through it was groundbreaking for a gameboy game.
Your Ruby and Sapphire teams reminded me I still need to finish Indigo Disk DLC. I made two teams for that expansion, which were also rain and sun based as well
The duality of being a kingk fan, being sad that he doesnt upload much but going into a crazed frenzy when he DOES upload cause its always a banger. Keep up the good work dude, love listening to you for hours on end. P.S. I didnt know you were only 26-ish, I knew you said you started at RSE but fuck man as someone who started with RBY I feel old af now.
Just started the video, but if you pick Charmander as your starter, you grind out a Butterfree til it hits 12 (I think) and it learns Confusion. Or maybe it learns Confusion at 10 when it levels up. Either way, you use your Charmander (Level 14-15) to take out the Geodude and the Butterfree will smash Onyx with a could Confusions, and Onyx does not have the offensive capability to do much about it. Usually it'll Bide or Bind lol
I remember the psychic being weak to bug by thinking a lot of people have phobias of bugs and spiders and stuff and psychic is a power of the mind so bugs are overwhelming the psychics mind and striking them with terror. That’s how it makes sense in my mind.
No, you don't get the unown thing They're just animals with different shapes. Our alphabet never existed in the pokemon universe; ancient people made written language attributing sounds to unown shapes. The current pkmn world civilisation uses a different written language and that's why they can't read them. It's not that this is explicitly stated anywhere, but it's the only logical conclusion and it works perfectly
Ohh and my base to anyone who wants a more challenging pokemon game use a randomizer You can set the NPC characters to have six pokemon a varied typings which makes the game feel a lot more fun because you're not sweeping everything with ease if you have the correct type
A "brief" collection of each retrospective of what I would consider to be the Golden Age of Pokemon. From the origins in Kanto, to the heights of Sinnoh and Unova that pierced the skies. (yes i'm also biased for sinnoh.)
By the way I think the psychic being immune to ghost was a glitch in generation 1 as I distinctly remember strategy guides and other information I could find would always say that ghost is a counter to psychic and then when trying it out that ended up not being true
Nidoran male. Pick Nidoran male for Brock and grind. The game tells you to be patient raising Charmander if I remember right, so grind a few levels and then use all of Viridian Forest to help grind Nidoran male. Grind in the starting area first if it’s low level. Double Kick is what you want.
Wow dude, I came here for a brief review like you said and basically promised, and now im very much so invested into a five hour video(that i am going to fully watch), thanks a lot smh 👍🏻
Hey everyone,
As a bit of a treat for those who read the comments, I will tell you that the Sun and Moon video is in production and will likely be out in either August or September. Thank you all so much for your support and patience, and have a wonderful day!
YESSSSS!!!
That's great to hear and I am excited I mean I am a little confused on the jump to sun but excited all the rest
LET'S GOOOOO
King I'm curious is there any plans to make videos on the spin-offs? Not rushing for em to be made, just wondering if they are a possibility
When is the remake retrospective dropping??
Oh great, now I gotta do this for the next 5 hours.
you dont have to really
but we all know you have to 😂
Literally what I just said to myself when I saw this notification 😂
This
Podcast material
Understandable, but taking breaks is recommended.
Videos like this are my drugs. I'm a 30 year old grown ass man, and the fact that people are still taking pokemon seriously makes my heart full
Bro I'm a 90s baby and I feel this
I’m a 30 year old grown ass man as well and I always check his channel every few months for these
I'm 33, a research scientist, and I love good pokemon content 😂
I'm 31 and still play GBA Pokemon emulators on my smartphone for fun
33, work in finance, love Pokémon lol. My kids love Pokemon so I’m getting a second run haha
"Just watch these again, for the hundredth time, like I know you will." I feel called out...
As if I don't listen to these videos every night to fall asleep 😂😂
@@jordanintheknowi do this 😂
Yeeep

YES. I love using these while im painting my miniatures

I've seen 7+ hours reviews of a single game. This is indeed brief in comparison :)
@@theViceth Nah
@@davemccombs B-but...
The timestamp was like a punchline lol. I saw the title “brief review of pokemon” then glanced over at the length to see “5 hours” lmao.
@@theVicethyou talking about the castlvania video?😂

Lmao this is so Pokemon….!! I would gove anything to relive that time just for a short time at least
@@grydon6422the nostalgia is so real
This goes for basically every argument before we could access the Internet everywhere. We could argue over the stupidest shit imaginable, now it's a Western high noon duel of who can Google it the fastest.
You nerds obviously don’t know about the secret method of evolving togetic into Lugia…

I woukd definitely argue that psychics weaknes wasn't just random, it fits the theme that psychic is typically related to mental and bugs are typically fears and affect people mental state, it just doesn't help that bugs were wack in the first gen
Super happy to hear the next gen video is on the way. Obviously, take your time.
Your videos absolutely helped me get into a Pokémon high to the point where I'm juggling several of the games and even started replaying Ultra Sun with baby pokemon I bred and transfered from ORAS.
welp, - boots up 3ds - plugs it in -
11:40 Psychic's weaknesses are all fears that people have. Fear of bugs, fear of ghosts, and fear of the dark. I know that Ghost wasn't super effective against psychic in the first game, but I'm pretty sure the devs said it was a glitch that it wasn't. Obviously there were a ton of glitches, but they fixed it in the later games.
Edit: Fixed the timestamp
A brief review? 5 hours is brief? ....
Seriously tho I am so thankful for people like you, who are willing to put so much time and effort into making great content about things that I love.
Man this was perfect to listen to for a 5 hour work shift. Listened to every second
Video title: "Brief" review
Video: *5 hours*
Reminds me of that 8 hour video on Pkmn Omega Ruby lol
have you seen Some More News "brief" video on Jordan Peterson? or münecat "brief" video about debunking evolutionary psychology?
That’s on you for believing something on TH-cam titled brief is actually brief
thats the joke
5th gen has a special place in my heart. I like it very much, and i'd have liked seeing them living on stilistically.
5 hour video about pokemon in my ear buds while Im at work, thank you buddy! ❤
11:39 I've heard that the reason psychic is weak to bug is because psychic represents the mind, and bugs represent a fear we have (as well as dark and ghost btw).
Who knows, maybe it's just a way to remember it but it makes a lot of sense to me.
That makes no logical sense whatsoever.
Humans do not have an inherent fear of bugs. Children literally play with them in the dirt.
Furthermore, burning, freezing, drowning, heights, poisons, etc are all fears "we" have, too.
For that matter, might as well just include every human being and every qualifier, since we're pretending that "we" is this one blanket entity with one set of traits.
Black and white has been, and always will be my favorite Pokemon game, I was around 6 or 7 when they came out, I had dabbled in Platinum, HGSS before, but was too young at the time to understand them, but I always felt more in tuned with the experience Gen 5 offered, I grew up with those Pokemon designs and fell in love with them, and while not a lot of them are my favorite, having played previous and later generations later in my life, I still love all those Pokemon, and the story was absolutely amazing, even as a little kid I felt like I was actually learning from the message the game was trying to tell me, and I feel like the reason why Pokemon games are my favorite is because Pokemon Black and White existed. So when I gained access to the internet and learned that when it came out ppl didn't like it very much I was so confused, I'm glad it gets the appreciation it deserves today. Imo the greatest generation of Pokemon.
"Because I'm weird, and want to make huge videos dissecting each generation of Pokémon in an effort to convince you I am smart."
I mean... it worked.
I think I commented on the original video but I'll add it here as well:
In Sweden there were Celebi events! Possibly because Sweden has had a strong Nintendo presence since the 80s through the company Bergsala (who even had a game help hotline until the early 2000s). My brother went to a mall on the event day in our city, got one Celebi for each of us siblings' cartridges, and also got a Celebi poster that hangs on my old bedroom wall to this day ❤
Well, I'm playing Pokémon Shield again, so I might as well go full fan boy and listen to Pokémon while playing Pokémon.
Really looking forward to the Sun / Moon video. Quite the divisive generation.
well I know what will be my sleeping aid on nebula for the next few nights
I don’t know why but videos like these are therapeutic asf, thanks for your hard work and dedication to keep me sane 😅
Courtesy of my brain shifting back to Pokemon lately, your videos have popped up on my feed. And now this one drops in the midst of mindlessly hunting everything to complete my Platinum living national dex. Fantastic timing, to be sure.
Living?
the voice actor who play Ash Ketchum in Pokemon need to come to Rhode Island this year. Both Ash Ketchum ( Veronica Taylor and Sarah Natochenn) need to come to Rhode Island comic con this year.
If you had a link cable at recess you were basically president for the day. Gen 1-2 hit so hard.
Oh hey a brief review of pokemon gen 1-5, perfect for watching while I make breakfast.
*30 min in its still gen 1*
How long is this-HOLY FUCK 5 HOURS??
Oh yay! My ‘KingK Pokemon playlist’ all in one video.
Red was my first pokemon game ever, then silver, then ruby, then colosseum, and then leaf green. I then did not play pokemon for 18 years and came back to it. Played through gen 4 and then gen 5. And after playing the newer games (legends arceus and scarlett) I can say poke.on was it's best in 2D (imo). But I'm also old.
5 hours left of my shift at work thanks
BRUH! YES! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT ABOUT ABSOL! LET'S FLIPPIN' GO! 😎😎 🤜🤛
Absol became my #1 favorite Pokemon of all time. My first reaction stumbling upon it as a kid while playing Ruby when it first came out had me thinking I was looking at a psuedo legendary. Like my jaw literally dropped when seeing the design of that thing let me tell you man. I will never forget those times back in the day and still to this day no other Pokemon has come CLOSE to beating it in terms of design for me. It's just so damn cool! And knowing its story about it being misunderstood while actually being a docile Pokemon just adds to it so much. Not to mention with the whole background of it representing duality or Yin and Yang.
The moment you spoke about it have that majestic yet also foreboding feel/vibe to its design, I knew right there you understood exactly the appeal of this Pokemon. And like you, it also got me to be Dark Pokemon enjoyer, though before Absol my last favorite was Umbreon which was also Dark. So in the long run, I always had gravitated to Dark types.😆
I love this Pokemon so much while my other favorites being Meowscarada and Lucario. I'm so excited of Absol making a return in Legends ZA given it has a Mega Evolution, so it's gonna be so flippin' amazing to see it in that kind of gameplay style! I can't freaking wait man! 😆
me having watched the individuals videos:
"oh King has a new video about all the classic gens of pokemon i definitely have not watched this before time to binge"
This is all im watching this week. Thanks King!
Silver is also Giovanni’s son. How do you find that out? In the remakes! …through the limited event. It’s almost poetic that the remake butchers another idea with the Celebi event.
I’m excited to have something to listen to, to fall asleep to, in your calming voice
Finally, a long interesting video that can get me through this monday
he read all of us like a BOOK within the first 10 seconds. insane
LETS GO! Now I can retire my playlist of the other videos and just watch this! Thank you ❤ Im looking forward to the next upload! Its been a good companion while I work on ribbon master stuff
Of course I’m gonna rewatch these videos and give you your well deserved ad money
Aw nice I’d love a quick video to wa-
Quick video to what
Hey KingK, your comment about finding people to battle being impossible is valid, but have you seen PokeMMO? That's an even better place for multiplayer retro Pokemon in the modern day. Id love to see a video on that!
This is one of my favorite YT channels, I can't believe you only have 300k subs. I thought you'd have closer to 1 mil with how good your videos are!
Uff that struck, back in the day... "Lucky, you are a kid".
I just got home from a long vacation to find one of my favorite video essayists drop this gem during the height of my Pokebrainrot. You spoil us.
This monologue breaks down perfectly why Generation 5 is and always will be my favorite Pokémon games. I always love hearing it! 5:11:10
I love your retrospects. Very accute observations. If you played the originals when they came out, going through towers/fields battling multiple trainers with the same pokemon did not feel like padding. The massive size of the world and having to work through it was groundbreaking for a gameboy game.
It's my sleepover, I get to choose the movie!
Thanks for a quick short video !
was literally just rewatching the X&Y retrospective!!
Covering Gen 1 without talking about how OP earthquake was is wild
Or even the sheer might of Chansey, Snorlax, and Tauros.
Your Ruby and Sapphire teams reminded me I still need to finish Indigo Disk DLC. I made two teams for that expansion, which were also rain and sun based as well
Oh great, there goes over 1/5th of my day.
Just had to say this video (and your channel) is awesome.
Oh you bless us there, gonna watch it this weekend. 🤩
The duality of being a kingk fan, being sad that he doesnt upload much but going into a crazed frenzy when he DOES upload cause its always a banger. Keep up the good work dude, love listening to you for hours on end.
P.S. I didnt know you were only 26-ish, I knew you said you started at RSE but fuck man as someone who started with RBY I feel old af now.
watching this 3 months late, just wanted to say
A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES
the chugga reference caught me off guard! definitely helped influence tons of kids to get into pokemon, definitely did to me haha
Just started the video, but if you pick Charmander as your starter, you grind out a Butterfree til it hits 12 (I think) and it learns Confusion. Or maybe it learns Confusion at 10 when it levels up. Either way, you use your Charmander (Level 14-15) to take out the Geodude and the Butterfree will smash Onyx with a could Confusions, and Onyx does not have the offensive capability to do much about it. Usually it'll Bide or Bind lol
I remember the psychic being weak to bug by thinking a lot of people have phobias of bugs and spiders and stuff and psychic is a power of the mind so bugs are overwhelming the psychics mind and striking them with terror. That’s how it makes sense in my mind.
This is basically my asmr video essay playlist
No, you don't get the unown thing
They're just animals with different shapes. Our alphabet never existed in the pokemon universe; ancient people made written language attributing sounds to unown shapes. The current pkmn world civilisation uses a different written language and that's why they can't read them.
It's not that this is explicitly stated anywhere, but it's the only logical conclusion and it works perfectly
This is really sad! can’t believe the memories this has brought back… those commercials 😢
Another amazing video!
Ohh and my base to anyone who wants a more challenging pokemon game use a randomizer
You can set the NPC characters to have six pokemon a varied typings which makes the game feel a lot more fun because you're not sweeping everything with ease if you have the correct type
I like the channel rebranding, just noticed!
It’s courtesy of the guy who made Amphibia
Loving these videos. Hard to sleep to though, too many ads
Just when I finished binging all of your pokemon videos lol
A "brief" collection of each retrospective of what I would consider to be the Golden Age of Pokemon. From the origins in Kanto, to the heights of Sinnoh and Unova that pierced the skies.
(yes i'm also biased for sinnoh.)
The way he dropped this just as I was rewatching the retrospectives 😍
2:50 wait is that Drake Bell??
It is! Before his big break on drake and josh, he did quite a bit of advertising work
@@SushyArts nice! It’s always funny seeing the old commercials from current stars.
I LOVE GEN 5 ❤
I just rewatched all the pokemon retrospectives and now this drops...greater forces are at work
By the way I think the psychic being immune to ghost was a glitch in generation 1 as I distinctly remember strategy guides and other information I could find would always say that ghost is a counter to psychic and then when trying it out that ended up not being true
Psychic isn’t weak to Bug because it needed a weakness. It’s weak to Bug, Dark and Ghost because it’s the 3 basic human fears.
Yeah I can chow down on this for 5 hours.
If you think for once second I haven't already watched all of these and will be watching this entire anyways you're wrong.
Brief: Ok. 😊
Over 5 hours: OKAY 😮
love you stuff, i would love to see you do a legends video
I've literally watched all these videos at least twice but.. . Here we go again..
Nuzlocke has taught me to absolutely love kadabra and machoke even though as a kid I only wanted starters and eevee😂
I cannot tell you how many times I've already watched all of these, but you know I'll watch this a million times now. Thank you king
I love your pokemon content
if nobody got me, i know kingk got me for hours
Love this
Fine I'll watch the entire series again 😅
Very brief indeed
I know this is late, but welcome fellow denizens of the Ant(hony Gramuglia) Farm!
Man, I cleared the battle frontier as a kid before we knew what EV’s were.
I'm about to go to work for a 10 hour shift.
That's me sorted for 5 of them.
Nidoran male. Pick Nidoran male for Brock and grind. The game tells you to be patient raising Charmander if I remember right, so grind a few levels and then use all of Viridian Forest to help grind Nidoran male. Grind in the starting area first if it’s low level. Double Kick is what you want.
I’m always Charmander lol
Wow dude, I came here for a brief review like you said and basically promised, and now im very much so invested into a five hour video(that i am going to fully watch), thanks a lot smh 👍🏻
Listening to this while getting all the korok seeds and in botw so I don’t go insane
Aaaawwwww fuck a 5h kingk Pokémon video AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW YISSSSSSSSSS
Thank you for making this 🛐
See you in September!
(For me when I need to refrence it later )
