Blue's Point of view POKEMON BLUE 1: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdJ7ZcJzy7C1mpc.html

You didn't animate the game we played, you animated the game we experienced. Magnificent.

This dude literally took the entire experience and made an in depth movie reliving all of it. Much appreciated!

This, this hit me hard. Seeing red start off on his journey just like we did. You show though animation what we felt thought-out our journey and made it so more can experience it. The charizard moment in red rocket's hide out had me shocked and laughing with glee! There is too many moments to name, the whole movie is perfectly done! You made made us laugh and cry thought-out this amazing piece of work you have given us....i want to show some appreciation for all your hard work and making this beautiful piece of wonderful art thank you so much!

This fan-made Pokémon film is incredibly well-crafted. The inclusion of cameos ranging from Dragon Ball Z and Jurassic Park to The Shining and The Ring was a delightful surprise. The sheer amount of time and effort put into this project is astounding. I was thoroughly entertained by everything, especially Misty's love story and the subtle nod to her mysterious lover (Red), as well as Blaine's original manga backstory as a Team Rocket member. The way over twenty years' worth of content was seamlessly integrated into a single video is a testament to the creators' dedication and understanding of Pokémon lore. The execution was smooth and impressive, capturing the essence of the Pokémon world while paying homage to its roots. I'm eagerly anticipating the continuation of this journey through Johto. The storyline involving Misty was particularly moving. It provided a refreshing take compared to the original series, where Ash often suppresses his feelings, leaving Misty's affection unreciprocated. This film revives that neglected storyline, bringing a much-appreciated depth to their relationship. Overall, this film struck a chord of nostalgia, brilliantly catering to long-time Pokémon fans. Again, thank you for this video. 10/10❤

Can we all appreciate how Pedro corrected the end of the battle vs Blue: Instead of Oak telling his grandson he’s disappointed, he embraces him and tells him he’s proud :)

The fact that LT Surge was able to see the PTSD in Red right off the bat, and acted appropriately was very touching.

The raticate scenes honestly touched my heart. Beautifully made

me at the start of the video: There's no way I'm watching 3 hours of Fanimation, but I'll check it out me 3 hours in: THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I"VE EVER SEEN

The entire Raticate story really hit me so hard. Esp Red/Surge's PTSD and the way they bond over it.

The gym leaders taking Red under their wing to teach him what they knew added a whole new layer of depth to the story. Extremely well done.

There were a lot of really cool things in this--Blue's Raticate dying, Red teaching Green, Giovanni's honorable defeat--but I gotta say, the part that I think about the most is the jiggle physics on Daisy Oak. I laughed every time she showed up.

This was brilliant. The best telling of the whole story I've seen. I'm in ny thirties. I put this on as background noise while i cleaned my flat. I have not moved from the couch the entire time it played. Legitimately felt the excitement i felt for Pokémon as a child from this, the feeling that replaying the games doss not bring because we grow and change. Great work!

blue playing his theme for real in the animation (physically) got me everytime. this entire piece is a cinematic work of art

This is a genuine gift to the pokemon community and the most incredible love letter to the first games. You can tell how much care and love and attention went into every scene. Be proud, this is something truly incredible

Rewatched this a lot lately, and a few random observations I've made in said rewatches, and also just various things I didn't comment on the first time that I absolutely loved: 1: I thought the swamp during the Sabrina battles was so random and strange, until I realized- it's a marsh. She gives the Marsh Badge. 2: Green and Erika are totally a couple, aren't they? I didn't see it at first, but once I saw it I started shipping it so hard. 3: This one I noticed from the very first time I watched, but I never commented on it- I love how the item obtained jingle plays and sounds so off and wrong when Giovanni obtains the Master Ball. It's the tiniest friggin' detail but it's just so cool to me. 4: Viridian Gym in its entirety. Giovanni and Red upping the stakes on the Gym battle, with Red staking all of his other badges on this, and Giovanni responding by staking the future of Team Rocket on it. Red sending out Mew and just validating Giovanni's claims all along. Mew healing Nidoking's eye. Giovanni pointing out everyone Red's got on his side, all the friends he's made, only for Red to point out that Giovanni's got that too, in Team Rocket, in everyone who follows him so loyally. Mew's head spinning as it's watching the Seismic Toss. Rhydon narrowly beating Charizard only for Mew to come in and land the finishing blow. Gotta Catch 'Em All playing after the battle. I friggin' love it. 5: Taking the small detail of Daisy being the one who gives you the Town Map and expanding that into her _making_ the maps. That was just a really nice touch. 6: Misty's Squirtle wiping out Green's Venusaur and Electabuzz with Ice Beam and Dig respectively. That might not seem like much, but I've always been one to appreciate the type coverage the Squirtle line got in Gen 1, and I tend to think Squirtle is the best starter to pick in Gen 1 because it can actually cover all its weaknesses. 7: I don't think I can say enough good about the Raticate arc. To take a morbid fan theory and animate it and the consequences thereof, and have it just keep coming back throughout, I respect it. As soon as the music changed and Raticate was sent out I had a bad feeling. That whole scene- Blue trying and failing to withdraw Raticate, Red getting the captain to help, Poliwrath's sad cry and shaking of the head... Then Red getting flashbacks during the Surge battle and switching out Nidoking even though he was the blatantly correct choice for the battle, only to be forced to bring him back out later, and Surge just absolutely getting it from his own experiences in the war, and them bonding over it... Nidoking getting left at Oak's, only for Bill to hack into Red's storage to get it back out during Silph Co., and Nidoking saving Blue and redeeming himself... and not to mention the white hand on Red's shoulder belonging to Raticate's ghost! And Raticate forgiving Red, passing peacefully into the afterlife along with Marowak... You, sir, have a gift for this kind of thing. I have called this a masterpiece in the past, which is why I am going to call it a masterpiece again now, because this is a damn masterpiece.

Although the year has passed, This should be animation of the year. This does not get enough love. It's godtier. the secrets, the lore, the fandom... The man did it all with his team. IT COVERS EVERYTHING!

I love how blue isn't just a jerk, he's an actual person that gets put in a bad lighting in the games but instead of oak being a bad grandpa he tells him that he's proud. I love that, so much

Giovanni’s arc right around the 1 hour point was incredible. This whole masterpiece with literally NO DIALOGUE is a piece of art. Extremely well done

38:16 Blue:My Raticate! Poliwag:There is nothing we can do *napoleon’s song plays*

This is an Absolute masterpiece for every single Pokemon fan. Growing up with FireRed, playing it over and over again, this hit me in a way nothing else had lately. Thank you so much Pedro for creating such a Masterpiece.

Brilliant how the other characters are shown walking their own paths through Kanto. It clearly shows a solid work on the storyline.

The way how you captured Blue's raticate and many other moments brought me to tears, man... This was truly an amazing experience and journey

The Charizard evolution was perfection personified. I kid you not... shivers down my spine, butterflies in my stomach, heart pounding out of my chest, goosebumps everywhere. That was something special, and I wholeheartedly thank you for it!

Pokemon Red was the first game I ever played. Viridian Forest felt EXACTLY like that. Looking at it now, the black and white graphics and the linear route seems so simple, but man, back then - the excitement when you encourtered a Pikachu for the first time, getting paralysed for the first time, gettined poisioned for the first time (and seeing the screen glitch), being actually kinda scared (haha) of the grass because you didnt want to white out - it was all so magical. Thank you for this, really.

I have no words…this is damn near exactly how I imagined Red’s story in my head as a kid while playing. Also, the Super Saiyan 3 homage when Charmeleon evolved into Charizard? Absolute perfection

hold on let rivals sister cook dawg

Simplesmente magnífico, mano! Assisti como se fosse uma criança curtindo cada segundo. Que saudades dessa época ♥

Holy hell the arc between cerulean and vermillion was insanely good. It actually made me tear up a bit. Going from Red being so happy with his time with Misty to suffering from PTSD due to the accident with raticate and the camaraderie from LT. Surge of all people that helped him on the path to healing. Absolutely, this was the tribute to Pokémon that we did not deserve.

The game doesn't convey the raw emotion of Gary losing Raticate you captured it perfectly, I'm actually crying because of that. I also like how Leaf/Green is like Red's little sister they even seem to have a cute sibling rivalry it's so wholesome. The scenes with Red training with LT. Surge where great I had such a good chuckle. Thanks for creating this it's very awesome.

It is really hard to put into words how true an home this hit. Not only did you create a retelling of the game we called pokemon, you took it leagues an bounds further by literally portraying the game we felt, loved, adored an played. This was not the pokemon game that was created an sold to millions world wide. This was a retelling of the game we grew up on. The troubles we faced along the way, an the journey it left behind for all those to look back upon an smile. Honestly speaking, when I first started watching this, i wasn't expecting much. But I am glad i watched it all the way through. You enabled me to relive my childhood, at least the time in which i first played pokemon red, blue, an yellow. Thanks for all the fun memories; an thanks a ton for taking 2 years of your life to put this together an make it into something we all could enjoy. :3 Much love an respect. See you in the next journey.

Words fully don't express how amazing this was. The story I knew along with the story I didn't know I wanted. I was prepared for a fun little nostalgia trip; instead I got taken on one of the most amazing roller coaster of emotions. You gave Blue a satisfying backstory, made me cry for a Raticate, laugh with glee for Lt. Surge montages, provide closure with the Misty canon. The animation was both charming and excellently done. The added references made it even more genuine. This is just a minor pittance to how much I feel this video is worth. For the amount of times I will be coming back to watch, it is worth it 10x over. Bravo, Sir.

I love that Green was included as a junior trainer that Red could mentor. It encapsulates the social aspect of playing the games and sharing insights and experience with younger siblings and friends who were later to begin their journey ❤

You know dude, I have watched this over a few times, I have laughed, cried and also shouted "Go get'em!!!" a few times. You are an amazing animator. I wish I could do more than sharing your content,

Man, had never even watched a movie at a cinema staying hooked all the way like this. Brilliant job mate!!!

Had this in my “watch later” collection for months. Finally sat down and saw it. Cannot believe what I was missing out on. So many memorable moments in this: the Misty x Red subplot, Sabrina’s redemption arch, LT surge’s backstory, Giovanni actually being given a motivation and being made sympathetic. This entire animation was absolutely carried by the outstanding storytelling! Will definitely watch whatever else you put out! Can’t praise this enough for the story!

This whole film is amazing. Every gym leader had such character around them. They felt real, and personal. Surge absolutely blew me away. Taking a couple lines and turning it into a whole untold story about coping with grief and overcoming tragedy...just beautiful!

I don't usually take fan fiction seriously...but I must say, this video caught me and wouldn't let go until the very end. This was made with incredible love and care. It took me right back to the good old days of Game Boy Color. Not only was it a fantastic tribute, it had depth I did not expect. Where the story deviates from the actual games, it was done so in moments of thoughtful genius. From Raticate's death to Mewtwo possessing Red to Blue's reconciliation with Professor Oak, this was nothing short of fantastic! WELL DONE, SIR!

Charmeleon evolving into Charizard' with the SSJ3 Goku transformation from DBZ was a bless to watch, thanks for the video and congrats.

A pokemon show like THIS, that's marketed for adults, would be a dream come true. Until then, it scratches all the right places

this was a masterpiece. 3.5 hours of animation is insane you didnt waste a second of it. each frame was wonderfully done, and the fact that you can portray such a wonderful story without needed any voice overs is phenomenal. i would be happy to wait another two years to watch Gold's story.

Thank you for this video and all your other work. It has entertained me, inspired me, and made me cry many times over.

1:24:47 there are not enough words to properly convey how hard I ugly-cried at this scene holy shit the feels

I never could’ve imagined during my childhood playing this legendary game that someone could bring such a prominent yet seemingly simple story to life like Pedro did with this animation. No prior movie, show or play that I have witnessed made me go through such an emotional rollercoaster this masterpiece put me through. From nostalgia to sorrow to reminiscence to anger to sheer and utter goosebumps could I have imagined that a KZfaq film about my favorite childhood franchise could be brought to life in such epic capacity. You good sir, are a fucking legend. I’m assuming that Gold’s full story will be next, but before you embark on that journey, thank you. This was a treat for the ages.

I can't believe I sat through 3 hrs. of fanmade animation, but here we are. I love how everyone had in-depth backstories, and I even rooted for Giovanni at one point! I wouldn't mind throwing money if there's a Kickstarter campaign to animate this properly!

This brought me back to my childhood. I played my Pokémon Red version so much that it died. You made the best thing ever. And now I want to go out and buy a Gameboy and play this again. Thank you for this

The fact that this has not a single word of dialogue and still expresses so.much emotion at moments like Raticates death is just astounding. Good work bro. Rest, you deserve it

This was one of the greatest productions of Pokémon I’ve ever seen. This deserves all the awards and all of the accolades. Pedro for primary storyboard artist for all of my favorite series

I love how Red brings Blue to his champion press conference. Not just to be kind to his friend, but because we’ve seen that the media attention makes him nervous when he’s on his own, and Blue loves the spotlight

The animation is great, but what really astounded me was your attention to detail concerning every event (and in some cases, implied fantheory) of the Gen 1 pokemon games. Absolutely amazing.

I'm 30, it's 4 AM and I'm crying with happiness to see mostly my childhood memories recalled by this 3.5 hours worth of masterpiece... Congrats man, life is much much more bearable and beautiful with people like you. Thanks from the very depths of my heart. Peace.

The entirety of the past 25 years may have been worth it just for this... Not a word spoken, yet so many smiles and tears... Well done. Nostalgia is a bitch isn't it?

This was absolutely incredible. You showed several complete story arcs (including some that aren't even part of the games) with no actual dialogue whatsoever. I loved all the little references to the games, including the fun glitches and stuff. Despite the fact it's almost 3.5 hours long, I sat through the whole thing in one go and was never bored. Well done, man. Your hard work paid off!

the unspoken details that only people who played and replayed this game over and over would understand are so good. The animation is speaking a language that only people who have those experiences understand. Amazing

As an owner of Pokémon Red version (bought my copy in early 2000) I gotta say you've done an incredible job! In the beginning I expected mandatory cheap laughs of game mechanics and other clichés (you have them there too, but in a right way), but I was totally surprised how the story started evolving from that onward. During my 3,5 hours ride I got amused, touched and shocked. I really liked the detail you've put on different character arcs (especially Giovanni and Sabrina for example). I was also amazed how you conveyed the darkest themes of the original game without unnecessary nudity, profanity or violence (in a Newgrounds sense). Sure, there is some fan service, but it doesn't get in the way of the story and its deeper themes of love, perceverance, forgiveness, friendship and loyality. Simply put: you guys deserve the highest of fives.

Simply no words. This movie is a gift. Thank you Pedro. Also, i need to know what Daisy Oaks gift to Red was 😅

I just had to pause 8 minutes in say this is bringing tears to my eyes. I've played through Red, Blue, and Yellow more times than I can count. Even though I play all the Pokemon games to this day, I keep coming back to Red because of how special and formative it is for me as a person. I wouldn't be the person I am today without these games. This beautiful animation is reminding me of how thankful I am for these experiences growing up, and recaptures the awe, wonder, and joy of experiencing the world of Pokemon for the first time. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this. 🖤

I had to pause the movie at certain points as some of the nostalgia was overwhelming. Watching this movie was one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. Thank you for this incredible love letter to our childhoods!!!

You really gave blues sister some massive character development

32:33 I love this part. Seeing the trainers from the other regions, seeing Pokemon from the other regions, its just amazing!!

What an absolute masterpiece. I loved the expansion of the character backstories, the implementation of popular fan canon, and the goofy references to various bugs/glitches. Completely worth every second spent watching!

You can see the animation get progressively better throughout. It’s like it was a learning experience for him

This is one of the best things I've watched on KZfaq. The accuracy to the games while also adding some new stuff to make it make sense in the wider Pokemon Universe is so creative and amazing. 👏👏👏

Dang! There was so much heart put into this production

I honestly remember picking up my first copy of Pokemon FireRed as a kid and I can say that you didn't just animate the game we all played you animated the entire Pokemon experience fans of the games had when starting their journeys. This animation is magnificent.

I'm actually in awe of how well thought out this is. It has so much more cohesion and depth than I expected it to.

This is one of the most passionate projects I have ever seen. What an emotional roller coaster. I am grateful for every moment that put me on the path to watch this. Thank you, Pedro.

My guy you killed this one. There were moments that brought me to tears because of how I felt that same way red did when I played the game when I was a kid!! Excellent job!

you can actually see the improvement of his animation from start to finish, its inspiring

I cried multiple times. I think I felt every human emotion while watching this, including some I don't have names for. You brought more depth and nuance to these characters and their relationships than we ever see in most commercially produced shows or films.

2:42:54 red that’s not moomoo milk. that’s not moomoo milk. that’s not moomoo milk! THATS NOT MOOMOO MILK ,RED!!!!

Truly a masterpiece! I loved it in every single part and concur with another comment: you animated not the game itself, but how we experienced it. I love the background you gave to the characters: not only Red, but also Blu, Green, the gym leaders, their Pokémon and, most of all, Giovanni and Mewtwo. You gave life to the Pokémon World, its lore, the funny moments, the emotional moments, the epic moments...Really, thank you for this beautiful piece of art!

Almost no dialogues, yet we can still understand what were they trying to EXPRESS. That's when you know the storytelling is top notch

I love you you use the sprites from the original games in your animations. It really adds something to the experience.

Binged this AND the ongoing Gold series today and I loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT! The storytelling, the animation, the world building, ALL OF IT!

Honestly, I can't help but have the absolute highest of respect for this. You put in a lot of work, not for profit or money, but for the love of Pokémon. Legit starting to tear up from just the idea that someone did all this. All the power to you ✊️

I am in complete awe. This is the Pokémon content the fanbase has been waiting for for over 25 years. The arc with Blue’s Raticate is as creative as it is deep; the twist with the White Hand being the Raticate’s is especially profound. Masterful job - cheers to you, Pedro!

i was there when red and blue and then yellow popped off, i was there when the first pokemon series was on tv. THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. best 3 hours of my life

Absolutely amazing! The comments have pretty much covered everything but id like to give a special shout out to the music and sound effects used during as well! Thank you so much for this!

The LT. Surge part still hits me all this time later. I am so glad I watched this all from start to finish all over again. Nidoking sure comes through versus Lance. It's such a nice payoff. Really makes me appreciate the trip we had all through this journey! Thank you so much for this series, Pedro!

I turned 28 years old on the 24th of May. Ive been working 60 hours a week for the past 2 years not being able to partake in the simple hobbies I’ve always enjoyed throughout my life. You sir, Pedro Araujo have single handedly inspired me to return to Pokémon, the one game franchise I’ve always loved no matter how young or old I am. Thank you doesn’t do this Justice but I hope you know how much this means to me and everyone else who’ve been lucky enough to find this video on your channel. Dios te bendiga y cuídate caballero 🙏🏼muchas gracias por su trabajo bien hecho

23:14 This Misty is very welcome, right? 😅

Dude, this was so emotional for me. Like what others have said, this is amazing! I don't know where to even begin in my description. I really wish all of this was cannon over the anime we got with Ash. This was simply amazing. Keep up the awesome work!

I love all the little moments of personality in this. Gary's sister teasing Red, the gym leaders taking him under their wings, camping with trainers on a route and sharing stories. It's such a great little adventure that really captures how your mind filled in the gaps of the story as a kid. Thanks so much for this!

That was long, but well worth the watch. Though it didn’t follow the story exactly it didn’t matter and is arguably better because it was made more realistic. Probably none of us are are going to hear Gary Oak’s theme the same again, nor imagine Misty as a scrawny toothpick, nor take Lt. Surge so seriously. There’s a lot of quick and short attention to detail spread through out the video, but blue having all of the blue themed action figures was hilarious. Phenomenal job

This is awesome! I love reading the comments about peoples experience with the series. Pokémon is so timeless and I am happy to have experienced the beginning of the phenomena.

Stumbled on this by accident Lucky find This is absolutely incredible I was not expecting a feature length animated film interpreting a beloved part of my childhood

Pedro didn't have to make Blue's sister monumentally stacked. But we're glad he did.

I was gonna watch this in parts. Ended up watching the whole thing! Great work. Loved the story!

This was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Big respect to the animator an team responsible for this. This was EXACTLY how I saw the game back in 96’. Simply STUNNING! 🥹🥲 ALLLLLL THE NOSTALGIA IS PRESENT

This film captures so well the growth story players experience in Pokémon, watching your team evolve, remembering rough spots overcome together, all culminating when you see your own lineup in the hall of fame… the emotion is indescribable, and Pedro’s film hit the mark like a bullseye. The love for the Pokémon games is blatantly evident in every frame. I actually cried when you even inserted the long-distance trainer glitch that allows Red to catch Mew. And very creative to have relegated the Missingno cameo to a bad dream. Thank you for this gem.

I think Red's relationship with Misty is my favorite part of this animation. He won her over simply by being himself, and I love how silly they act together. Makes me wonder if the guy Gold finds with Misty is just going to be Red in disguise trying to have some time with Misty, only to book it when someone who could recognize him comes up, lmao.

I started this a little on the fence thinking "Where's the voice acting", but I just watched this solidly through start to finish and loved it. I can't begin to think of how long this took you to do, but please do the next part of this story. This was so well done!

The whole thing was great, but I think the part that hit me the hardest was Lt. Surge helping Red get over what happened on the S.S. Anne. There really isn't any other gym leader that'd be able to empathize like he could, being a soldier and all.

Pedro, I must admit that you did a good job with this series. Especially with the characters, like Red and Blue, how they come into conflict to learn from each other. But not only them, I also liked the others. -Leaf : Being a girl who had to learn the hard way so that she understands that she must try harder to improve as a trainer and in the end she was able to find another way to learn about pokemon. -Prof.Oak and Giovanni: Their history as rivals that caused a great series of events to make more sense of their motives and how they ended up fixing their problems. -Daisy: Having a more active role than just giving a map, with a role as cartographer and helping from time to time -Red's Mom: Yes, she didn't do much, she was fine with MVP, that is, supporting Red and the rest of the characters, more than anything with Leaf receiving her from her house and encouraging her when she felt bad about not being a trainer competent. -The Gym Leaders: Brock, although he didn't interact much if he could teach some useful things. Misty was very helpful and also her girlfriend with Red. L.T Surge who helped Red overcome the trauma of Raticate, and yes, their training sessions that made them feel stronger. Erika helping Leaf to let go of her past with Team Rocket. Koga teaching more efficient techniques to capture his past that he wanted to be part of the Elite Four. Sabrina with the problem with her power that made her walk away from the world but in the end she regained her contact with people. Blaine who was with Team Rocket but who didn't do the right thing had a chance to redeem himself.

I stumbled upon this again recently. This is my first time watching the full video. I’m already 40 minutes in and I am hooked! Pedro, I hope that you continue to do these Pokémon animations. Keep it up! You have such a gift. Looking forward to the full game animation for gold.

Leaf basically becoming Red's adoptive sister was a nice touch.

Honestly. Its really impressive how fast this whole thing came together. More than 3 hours of animation in 2 years is super cool.

I really like the idea of trainers staying on and training with gym leaders for a while before moving on! It's like the battle for a badge earned a place at the gym, then the experiences they gained training there prepared them for the next step

This was a masterpiece! The best spent three and a half hours of my life. This is really what it felt like to live these adventures. My heart felt nostalgic and full of happiness.
