Small detail about Pokemon Trader: In the Japanese Red and Green, the person who trades you Farfetch'd is a Gentleman as depicted in the card, not the little girl in Japanese Blue and international Red and Blue.
Blaine's Quiz #1 isn't as hard to guess right...well, late in a game anyway. It's legal to look at cards in either discard pile at any point in the game, so if the Pokémon chosen already has a copy in the discard pile, the answer is right there.
I believe there is also a reference to Pokémon Gold/Silver on Brocks onix shirt, as you early on in the game can trade a Belsprout for an Onix nicknamed "Rocky"
Seeing this old card art and hearing the old Gameboy Pokemon card game activated some really old and dusty neurons. As a lonely and aging millennial, I am now sad from the nostalgia.
@@silversmoke8398 I'm surprised anyone would ask. I live alone with a cat, I don't have much in the way of family near me, can't see myself finding love anytime soon, and most of the time the only human contact I get anymore is when I'm at work.
@@silversmoke8398 I know better than to be looking when I am too unhealthy to make myself happy let alone someone else. No self-respecting woman wants to take care of a mess.
Man hearing the gbc pokemon tcg 1 + 2 soundtrack makes me wish we had a newer version. One that has different card set rules so you can play with older cards without conflicting with the newer ones; because even on the gbc the card artwork was amazing. Even without these easter eggs they look like a product of their time (like most 3d models) or pieces of artwork! So imagine all these details in HD and portable! I heard a rumor that the reason modern pokemon games look buggy and rushed is because the lacked time and/or they aren't interested in making pokemon games anymore. I can't say if it is or isn't without evidence, but a pokemon tcg on the switch would be a great way to make a new pokemon game while being something new for the team!
This is fantastic. I love the detail you've gone into with each card as well like linking the cards back to the game where possible. Your quip about Doduo's missing head made me chuckle, too. Admittedly I've never really looked into the actual purpose of each of these cards in the TCG before, so I really enjoyed you reviewing those as well. Great job with both the narration and the animation! I can't wait to see more.
That Misty card was an absolute legend on the playgrounds of the 90s/early 00s. I was CONVINCED it was fake until some kid's dad went on a business trip to Japan and somehow brought back the holy grail.
This was one of the coolest video concepts I have ever seen. From someone who likes to collect stuff like this it makes me happy to see others appreciate stuff like this :)
5:55- “If you don’t know how to play Rock Paper Scissors, flip a coin to determine the winner” do you know ANYONE you doesn’t know what rock paper scissors is? I just am amazed they would even put that in
I used to do things like this when I was younger and actually play with the cards. I also appreciate you reading the card's effects and in some cases describing them in further details such as their history.
Another thing that makes it easier on Blanes Challenge 1 users is Pokemon tends to ban card sets after a few years. So it wouldn't officially be allowed to play again cards the E Reader or cards outside of the sets it's allowed to play with.
I've really enjoyed both of your videos on this; they're well edited, you have a good rhythm and I think the topics are interesting. Looking forward to more in this series and whatever else you do in the future
I'm surprised they didn't change the artwork for Rocket's Training Gym in the US. I didn't realize there was blood on the cell where Scyther was housed at.
I hope one day you can do breakthrough,breakpoint, the cameos in that series are CRAZY, a narative unfolds throughout the set, it blew my mind when I first saw
You know what's funny? Lt. Surge being part of the Gym Heroes's official expansion artwork, when he part of Team Rocket alongside Sabrina and Koga in the Adventures manga. Blaine also was a scientist for the organization, but stepped out after meeting Red. But he remains on the expansion art for Gym Challenges with Sabrina, Koga and Giovanni.
cant wait for this video to be featured in Pokemon TH-cam Video MLB Cameos, a video listing every youtube video about pokemon that also features an image of a professional baseball player.
I decided since having a complete collection of cards is impossible unless you're a billionaire, that having a "Living Dex" of cards would be cool and that having an additional collection of cards that feature Pokemon that aren't the subject of the card - which you called cameo cards - would be fun, but I had a hard time finding a good list of cards that fit that description and gave up.
Love the VIDEO! but small correction, at 4:37 you go over the “Challenge!” Trainer card. You mention that’s Weepinbell but that’s most certainly Victreebel
It's likely the jessie james clothing was lifted pre-show because they had no significance. Would make sense turning the outfits the opposite of black to show significance.
I love cards that have multiple Pokémon in them. But my general rule of thumb for my main album is if it's a Pokémon from a different generation, I won't put it in the album.
5:07 Next to all the overpowered cards, this one is surprisingly horrible. A simple nest ball card is much better except if you can activate an ability by manually placing it on the bench.
this video just made me think imagine todays Fortnite kids were giving GEN 1 pokemon game to play lol like how far would they get it would be an interesting watch lol

Yeah, someone didn't do proper research
Thanks that’s interesting
they... never mentioned anything about it?? @@Big_Dai
I love the odd 3d models on the early cards
We called 'em plushies back then.
They are painfully nostalgic
Meanwhile I hate the current 3d ones, that are made from yarn or whatever
@@IAmTheGlovenor I think they’re both neat, but I agree with the OP that the 3D models had a nice charm to them.
Being a kid back then it felt like they were cards from the future or something. I remember being blown away by them.
The Weedle in "Gust of Wind" always gave me a good chuckle. He's so terrified
Weak to flying types be like 🥺🥺🥺

Oh wow you're right, I totally missed that, cool!
Also most decks generally use a very small pool of Mons in multiples for consistency so they'd often have one of their few options already in play lol
yugioh has a card similar called "question" but it prevents your opponent from looking at your graveyard while it's being played.
this is some trivia that should totally be on bulbapedia
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
My friend had a Japanese Misty's Tears card. He called it "Misty's Teats"
I believe there is also a reference to Pokémon Gold/Silver on Brocks onix shirt, as you early on in the game can trade a Belsprout for an Onix nicknamed "Rocky"
You beat me to it.
Always loved the old card artwork.
i love the old pokemon card art, it's literally so pretty and cool

New Pokémon games are rushed and make bank anyway.

its fucking crazy that they just did that with Secret Mission. Like what the fuck are the implications here?
blaine's quiz can be cheezed. it's legal for any player to search either player's discard pile at any time.

The rock, paper, scissors game probably wasn't part of the Japanese culture. So some Japanese people probably didn't know about the game.
@@skillracoonful I've seen more Janken in Japanese media then I have seen Rock Paper Scissors in western media.
Goku mastered rps by the time of the first martial art tournament, if memory serves.
Love the Pokemon TCG Gameboy music
I used to do things like this when I was younger and actually play with the cards. I also appreciate you reading the card's effects and in some cases describing them in further details such as their history.
I’m glad I found your channel whilst you’re still relatively new. This is the sort of stuff I live for. Absolutely brilliant.
the cybershell inspiration is so deep that your voice is, unintentionally or not, mimicking his cadence
This feels like a cybershell video. Nice work

Jessie and James had their black outfit in the Best Wishes anime, or the Black and White anime.
The effect of the Clefairy Doll card also reminds me of Substitute
what an amazing channel

Love this TCG channel hope to see more Pokémon cameo videos in the future 😁
Hgss energies are favorite.
Pokémon TCG on gameboy had a slapper of a soundtrack
The Kenji Kinebuchi Pc 3D art is my favorite :)
I'm surprised they didn't change the artwork for Rocket's Training Gym in the US. I didn't realize there was blood on the cell where Scyther was housed at.
@@skillracoonful Yep, i Remember that It was mentioned by one of my old friend back in 2000, pretty disturbing..
Found your videos on my frontpage. Very big fan of your work - keep it up. This is some great content.
The Pokémon TCG music in the background is so nostalgic to me 😍
Not the German occupied Poland map 💀
This video is FANTASTIC, I LOVE this concept, so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love these videos
Your videos are very relaxing and well informed!
Mad respect for puzzle league music! 🎼
Love the pippi doll
I loved the classic support cards they always looked so fascinating 🙂 especially the team rocket devices in the team rocket set
I collect Electabuzz cards and this video single-handedly, helped me find out that there is an Electabuzz featured on Blaine’s quiz #1
I got a lot of the older cards! This takes me back!
Those are some damn interesting card effects...
the insane implication of Secret Mission is that Lt. Surge's Raichu probably killed nazis
Or invaded Poland
They were allies of the germans
He most likely fought along them XD
now this is the content that i needed
This is the video I didn't know I needed
this is awesome
The XY-P Promotional version of Here Comes Team Rocket! has them in black as well, possibly in reference to the original
I’ve always liked these kinds of cards, they just add something to the card
I know I’m late, but I loved this video. Thank you!
pokemon trader card is referencing the japanese in game trade for farfetched
I love how someone randomly thought "Hey what if these kids don't know how to play Rock, Paper, Scissors?"
This is a great video!
4:35 I'm pretty sure that's victreebel, not weepinbell
Agreed! I went into the comments to see if I was the only one to notice it!
All 3 one plant
"Don't you want to see ALL of them?"
Me: I didn't know I did until now lol
Opened Fusion Strike for a Mudkip and Sandygast lol. I can see Sandygast crying while Mudkip swims
In Brock's protection, his onix shirt is notable but also because "Rocky" is the name of the Onix traded to you in Gold and Silver
Just seeing this video made me wish I got into the card collecting a lot earlier as some of the gym leader and dark team rocket cards looked cool
Alright this is what I like passing out to after a long day.

amazing video, i can't believe it was made a year ago :)
My favorite cameo card is masaki machamp
I don’t play Pokémon cards anymore, maybe I’ll start. Either way great video.
I'm questioning your Pokémon nerd card after that pronunciation of "Fuchsia"
…I don’t know if I ever realized the quiz mechanic existed in blaize’s gym. I thought those computers were inanimate
I would be really interested in you making a video about cards, that have real life animals in them, like you showed at the beginnimg.
I do wonder why they chose the occupied Poland map for that card though. I mean they could have drawn a random map or something.
I know it's not super relevant to your point but Jesse and James did have all black outfits in the black/white anime IIRC
I stopped collecting after the Rocket cards but still nostalgically recognise lots of the Gym Leader ones.
I did always think they were a cool set.
New youtuber alert! 🚨 Just found you, very cool. Good overviews.
god tier video
Some E-series cards had exclusive attacks
i love this song
It's likely the jessie james clothing was lifted pre-show because they had no significance. Would make sense turning the outfits the opposite of black to show significance.
holy shit lmao i cant believe they used a ww2 map of poland on lt. surge's card
zubat's tails.... bruh
I love cards that have multiple Pokémon in them. But my general rule of thumb for my main album is if it's a Pokémon from a different generation, I won't put it in the album.
Disappointed. I need a graph showing which Pokemon make cameo appearances the most frequently, lol. :P
I thought onix was spelled onyx
Very NICE
..ok i think i get why the older cards are banned in the tcg game now
Cool video
Im gonna say 278XYP has jessi/james in black.
What is the music that starts at 1:57 called?
PS: great video x
"Grass and Lightning Clubs" from Pokemon TCG
@@chad_bro_chill thanks!
I actually still have the Card in the Thumbnail
didnt Jesse and James wear their black outfits in Pokemon Yellow too?
The challenge! card is Victreebel. Maybe you forgot to edit?
first card in the video is a tangela, coincidence? i dont think so
Classic cards with their cheesy artwork are better than anything that came out after 2000
I do believe those are Zubat legs, not tails.
5:07 Next to all the overpowered cards, this one is surprisingly horrible. A simple nest ball card is much better except if you can activate an ability by manually placing it on the bench.
You said weepingbell but it’s a victoreebell
Good viD
If anyone would like Part 3 th-cam.com/video/DfpkjrMV0Ug/w-d-xo.html
