Ahhh, this is amazing to see, been watching you for years now and it's been an absolute pleasure!

Anyone else love how the title card has the kid version of JWittz done in the style of 90s Ken Sugimori?

I remember back in 2008, I played Pokémon Platinum, and it cheered me up whenever I was sad. I miss my Infernape and my Shinx named "SINNOH".... I'M GONNA CRY Merry Christmas Eve, everyone.

Long Live Pokemon and its fans!

6:48 You got fifth at worlds?! That's amazing

Man, I feel old! And I never stopped liking Pokémon either! =w=

Do you know how many countries have you reached with your videos? I'm from Venezuela, and I enjoy watching them :) merry xmas!

5:50 The white hat and shirt, JWittz really is Kukui!

Why am I tearing up

Merry Christmas! It's been a good year for Pokemon!

Pokémon has always been there for me. I've had the most fun with it then any other game franchise as well. I am glad it brought you happiness Jwittz. May it continue to make you and your wife smile, and the rest of this community. I love you guys.

This was awesome to watch! Merry Christmas to you and Renee, JWittz!

this is a blast to watch

though there are like 3000 channels with 1 million subs, you're the first of 3 pokemon KZfaqrs to have reached the gold play button worth mark. the other 2 being unlistedleaf and munching orange. so it's still cool and also, you were the first of u 3 so that's even cooler. just keep doing what you are doing dude your awesome.

20 years...... Thank you Pokemon. You helped me in good and bad times.

Hearing this was absolutely beautiful. I'm literally in tears right now. I too have met the love of my life through Pokémon. I've been watching your channel for a while now and I enjoy watching.

Guys did you know that you can catch Shadow Lugia in G/S/C? All you have to do in order to encounter that ultra powerful and rare being is catch all pokemon including Pikablu and Mew which can be found under a truck. Train them all to LV 100. Beat E4 50 times and Play the game for 999 Hours. Once that's all done go to Ruins of Alph and press A button 500 Times in front of every single statue that you find there. Next you have to go to the pokemon center and release all your pokemon except your starter. Once all your pokemon are released travel to Mt. Silver and Beat Red with just your starter. As soon as the battle ends Shadow Lugia will appear and force you to battle during which you will be able to catch it. Be aware though, catching Shadow Lugia might delete your save so do it at your own risk!

I'm surprised that Pokemon GO's release didn't make the list, as it would likely be on mine if I were to make one. Not only that, but I personally found the fight with Red in HGSS at the top of mount silver to be incredibly dramatic and impressive to me, as someone who had watched all the anime and recognized "Ash"'s pokemon from the original series. Perhaps the latter had the possibility of me not reading speech leading up to it to know who it was or that I was too young to understand, but that moment certainly stands out. As for Pokemon GO; it was very memorable for me as people who had never even heard of pokemon before (young and old) and of course the long-time veterans, anyone and everyone, got involved in playing and was just a really fun time to go around and being able to spot and chat with people who were also having the same experience.

I remember watching your SP videos over and over and over again. You really helped get me into understanding the meta at the time and I'm really grateful for it. LuxChomp is still my favourite deck of all time to play.

My first Pokemon game was LeafGreen, which I played a ROM of on a free android tablet back in 2014. I didn't finish the game, but I moved onto Sapphire, which I didn't finish either. My tablet broke, but soon enough, early this year, I got a 3DS. I played Alpha Sapphire and Y, as well as Black and Black2, and I'm still going through Platinum. This made me get completely hooked onto the series. Pokemon is my life, and, if it wasn't for these amazing games, I might not be here today. I got Sun on the day it came out, It was amazing, and only new memories are going to be earned for the next generations.

Oooohhh awesome idea for ending the 20th anniversary

5:46 Leaked footage of the beta of Pokemon Sun and Moon!

This video made me tear up. Remembering the good times this franchise had given me, as well as JWittz... Then I heard the music playing... THE MUSIC BRINGS THE FEELS TO ANOTHER LEVEL!!!

It's so amazing to see how greatly one franchise can change people's lives. I have had so many great memories tied to Pokémon, it seriously makes so many unique experiences while meeting some of the nicest people ever. I'm glad it has followed me my whole life.

Thankyou so much this video. It was nice to watch :) Happy holidays and new year to everyone \o/ !

great video man! Merry Christmas! :D

One of my best Pokemon memories, finding your channel. Seriously, I've been watching since my freshman year of high school which was around when Generation 6 came out. Your videos really helped re ignite my interest in the series because I kind of skipped Gen 5. (Something I greatly regret) . It's because of these videos I got back into the series. Merry Christmas to you JWittz!

Such amazing, much wow! Watching this video brought sooooooo much nostalgia, from the profit videos to the XY playthrough. You were my first Poke Tuber and my favorite one as well! Keep making the amazing videos and keep making more amazing memories! Lots of love Jwittz!!

Oh, the 90s...when everyone was always going over to each other's houses just to play video games with one another, or play with your siblings. I never did adjust to the world of online gaming. :(

A lot of us may not be "kids" anymore, we're kids at HEART. We still love Pokemon much like back in the day. And for many, it was all one GRAND adventure... Generation after Generation, the good and the bad, the known and the... Unown (yeah, okay, that was terrible) I'm glad that Pokemon really HAS left a big impact on your life. And to anyone else who share some of his memories, I'm happy for YOU too! And to think that I would have a deep appreciation for some of my favorite Pokemon of all time. I never would of thought that I WOULD feel this way! (And I suppose people will make fun of me for that one) But... it's true. Even today, I'm always kind of picturing the Pokemon having their own separate adventures. Is that weird of me to think? Yeah, probably! But... I'd say the anime and even Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (the series) kinda had a bit of an influence on that! :] Happy Christmas Eve, everybody!

Man, this brought back memories! Thanks TheJWittz for brightening up my day for 3 years now with your amazing videos

Man, It's amazing of how far this channel came out to be and Pokémon today... been watcing your videos EVEN before I had a account in KZfaq! it's been a ride!

I joined the Pokemon fanbase much more recently than most, starting with SoulSilver. Most of my best memories of the franchise are related to one particular Gen 6 Pokemon - Sylveon. Let me explain: - For starters, Eevee and its evolutions were my favorites well before X and Y because my dad, the person who got me into Pokemon in the first place, loves them too, and introduced me to them at a young age. - When Sylveon was first revealed to be the newest eeveelution, I FLIPPED OUT. The second I saw it, I KNEW I would have it on my team. I have never been so excited for a new Pokemon since, and probably will never be again. - After I got Pokemon X that Christmas, I immediately looked up where you could catch Eevees. I spent AT LEAST half an hour searching for a female. I finally found her and named her Navi. I evolved her ASAP, and she was a total powerhouse throughout the rest of the game. She carried me all the way through the Elite Four and helped me beat a Pokemon game for the first time ever. After that, I kept on using her until she was the first and only Pokemon I ever raised to level 100. Stupid me traded her for a shiny Uxie later, but her memory lives on in Stevie, an in-game trade Eevee I transferred over to Alpha Sapphire to evolve and use. Stevie is my current highest-leveled Pokemon at level eighty-something. - One of my greatest Alpha Sapphire memories is the time I got to talk to one of my Google+ friends via game chat. We both collect shinies, and she traded me a shiny Sylveon, my favorite shiny ever. I just really like how blue looks on it. Some time later, I received ANOTHER shiny Sylveon in the Wonder Trade. I traded off the first Shiny Sylveon, unfortunately, but I still have the Wonder Trade one. I will never, ever trade her for ANYTHING.

the captions on 4:58 XD

it's always amazing how some hobby or interest like pokemon can bring so many people together, and that applies to so many things (sports, media, music etc.) and your video shows a great example for that. Having the same passion naturally connects people, thanks for showing that :)

jwittz, for as long as I have been on KZfaq, you will always be my favorite youtuber. although you weren't my first influence when it came to Pokemon (my brother let me play his fire red game and battle Gary with a bulbasaur), you were my first influence on KZfaq. I watched your fact of the days, top 10s, weird and creepy pokedex entries, and playthorughs. you always were that one youtuber that kept their head and was fun to be around. and celebrating 20 years of Pokemon, I just have to say thank you. you really have changed my life. you led me to meet all these amazing channels about Pokemon, and i just feel so at home now because of it. thanks, and I hope-pip your 20th anniversary is a good one. if it is, I say ditto to you then!

does it bother anyone else that the pokemon 20th anniversary logo only features 19 pokemon?

I loved this vid. So much. To bad it is not on the official Chanel 😢

I got really emotional going through this vid remembering some of these moments I saw on your channel and just seing your childhood memories knowing that a lot of us probably had some similar I love your content JWittz and I hope you keep it up for many years to come lets see what happens on pokemon 30th lmao

dude, this video almost got me in tears, its so good to see there are so many people whos life has been better thanks to pokemon, i know mine certainly is, its just such an amazing and emotional thing, just makes me really really happy congrats on the wedding!

I'm surprised at how clean and kind these comments are great job guys :)

Darn, I read it as "20 Pokemon Memes" :(

Pokemon for me has been the first in a handful of parts in my life. It was my very first anime, one of my first video games (the original Red thanks to my big brother), and one of the first fandoms I got into besides Disney. Thanks for all the memories, Pokemon! Also, Merry Christmas, JWittz!

This was really enjoyable to watch. It showcases why you're my favorite KZfaqr, alongside PBG and The Completionist. You rock, JWittz. ^.^

I've been watching you since PokeProblems 😭 feels like it was so long ago

Holly smokes, Young JWittz looks way more like a Kanto form Of Pro. Kukui then the older JWittz.

As someone who I've been watching since 2011, I can say that you have definitely shaped who I am as a person and as a gamer, more specifically one who loves Pokemon. Happy Holidays, Jwittz and here's to more successful years on KZfaq!

Congrats on all the success man! Its really heartwarming to see someone so passionate get rewarded like that.

Merry Christmas! ⭐ I honestly haven't been into Pokemon for that long (since 2014), but Pokemon X was my first ever game, and it still is even though I went back to play the others. My fave Pokemon memories are release day for Pokemon Go, my first Shiny from Alpha Sapphire (a Feebas named Lola that later evolved into a Milotic!) playing with my favorite Pokemon, Anna the Sylveon, learning my way around the competitive side of the video games, getting my copy of Sun and Moon, and... eheh, clothes shopping for my avatar. I also have a fanmade manga called Pokemon Rainbow! It's a cross between action and shojo, and I would use my game avatars for the characters. Laura is from Rainbow XY, and Mitsuko is from the Sun and Moon sequel.

shame it couldn't be on the official pokemon channel

Pokemon has given me my best friends and my happiest moments. Thank you for sharing this, made my Christmas.

Merry Christmas josh! I've loved your content since I was in 3rd grade and still to this day love it. From watching your Pokeplay of colosseum and to all of the Pokémon fact of the days, it's always been fun.

Huh, I wonder what legal issues got in the way of putting this on the Official Pokemon Channel?

My #1 memory is Whitney'a Miltank

Hello jwittz I've been watching this channel for years and sometimes I go back to your old videos and the quality has remained consistently on the up and up and you have made me get back in to the trading card game and tought me a lot of things about the trading card game and video games and you are the reason why I'm still in to the Pokemon series to this date and I would love to say thank you

watched every video of yours for two years now, it's stupid that you've grown so much in such a short time, much love from the UK!!

DID HE SAY METAL TYPES? It's ok we all mess up

I have a feeling that Gen 4 was the revival of Pokemon

I also love they invited you for a few Nintendo official videos. You're one of the greatest! I wish you the best in this new and exciting year!

What an awesome video! You're honestly a role model to me and probably many other 90's babies that have grown up with the series.

I happen to be playing pokemon Diamond whilst watching.. Gg lol.

Hey josh, thanks for no final ;)

Amazing video! I've been watching the channel for a long time now, and this really brings me back.

It's amazing to see the effects Pokemon has on so many people! And the number of fans that have been brought together because of it. Long live Pokemon! and of course the fans too!

Gold and silver were my first and favorite game(I got gold)

Just ran into shiny granbull possible name suggestions

Jwittz I've been watching you since I think 2013-2014 i really don't remember just recently got back into your content but honestly I love your videos man merry christmas c:

Your channel is one of my favourites. You're so entertaining and your videos are always high quality. Thanks for everything you do (:

pokemon diamond, nuff said

I was wondering, what's your all time favorite starter?

I love watching your videos man and this one hit home. Pokemon has also helped me out from some very tough times and I have memories as a child playing it up to just a few days ago playing Sun lol. I hope you have a good 2017 JWittz.

Thank you for uploading such great videos, just like Pokémon got you through tough times, you did the same for me. Thank you, and I love you Jwittz

God I wish D/P (and platinum) had a remake

How about 20 Pokémon Memes?

Dat old Wittz hair tho. I didn't think that style could look good on anyone but SOMEHOW you rocked it. Also, great video! Brought up a lot of very powerful memories for me and my involvement with this franchise.

And I say to you, Josh, I hope that your passion and charisma will shine as bright as, well, Shiny Pokemon in the years to come! Keep doing what you love and Merry Christmas.

weird how he didn't mention Pokemon GO. oh wait, Pokemon GO is dead now..

My first Pokémon Game was Pokémon Ruby what Pokémon game did you gal and Guys start off with?

This was totally amazing. It's like you went through and told the story of my life. I cried. Lol. I was also introduced to Pokemon through the show. The Digglett episode was the first one I ever saw and I wanted Pokemon Blue so bad for my 8th birthday in 1999. Great video.

I remember watching King of The Nerds just to see you on it. 14 year old me was so angry when you had to leave, but in retrospect it was awesome seeing you there anyway!Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

I miss the old manga where most of the girls are sexualized and Pokemon actually died

To 20 more years indeed!! Merry Christmas Jwittz!!

And thank you, JWittz. Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays JWittz you are my greatest inspiraton

Man, it just hit me that Pokemon's 20th year is a week away from ending. This was really sweet, JWittz and, likewise, here's to 20 more years of catching 'em all!

i discovered you in 2012 and im so happy that pokemon helped you do stuff beyond your wildest dreams... :) best of luck to you jwittz

i smiled at every moment through this vid and i loved every second of it i started watching you since before you got 100k subs and its been awesome to see the channel grow so well this vid has made me remember on all the reasons why i love pokemon

Thank you for this video! This personally brought back a lot of great memories from my childhood remembering all the games and first watching the Anime! I'll always love how important Pokémon is to me!

Beautiful video,Josh.I have grown up watching you,and because of you I got a 3DS,specifically to play Pokémon on!

You know,all the stories of peoples' experiences with the franchise may have been my favorite thing about this anniversary. I just never get tired of hearing how Pokémon has enriched someone's life,seeing how much this series has touched the lives of others just makes me happier and happier to be a fan of it. And with all of the children still being introduced to Pokémon today,the world will never be lacking in heartfelt stories like these.

God my little heart. This was a great video, thank you for sharing. I feel much the same way you do, Pokémon has been a life long passion and no other game has brought me as much joy as this one has.

Oh man! I remember back in 3rd when I saw some kids playing with pokemon cards! My friend gave me my first interaction with pokemon, a skitty card. I think I still have it, actually. This video has me a bit weepy. *Thank you for a wonderful year, and to many more Happy New Years to each and every one of you!*

Crazy to see how much Pokemon has changed your life. Congrats Jwittz, on all your success!

Merry Christmas Jwittz/Josh thanks for all the grate content

You Rock JWittz. Thanks for all the help over the years :)

Merry Christmas JWittz!

Its always nice to hear someone speak about something they are passionate about pokemons truly was a lot of peoples childhoods ^^

Great video, JWittz. Congrats on all the success.

I remember watching your 20th anniversary stream earlier this year - that was a ton of fun. I think I'll remember Pokémon's 20th anniversary forever.

Yo J-Wittz you were the one who got me into the Pokemon TCG from one of your random "Prof-it" episodes! I don't think I would have stuck with learning all the rules and the metagame if it weren't for your very entertaining delivery either, man I really need to go back and watch those. I am a bit disappointed that Gen 3 wasn't even in your Top 20 Pokemon moments as it is my favorite Gen pretty much by far with the Colosseum games to extend it, but I suppose as you stated Pokemon being the amazing titan that it was and is, is mostly due to the fanbase and connecting with other people as a result of it. Cheers man, thanks for adding another fantastic hobby to my life and providing countless hours of entertainment, and many more to come, even if it's just through rewatching your old Prof-it episodes!
