Considering this is based on this guys actual Pokémon playthrough, it's kinda funny to imagine someone making an entire extremely high-effort animation just as a way to vent for trading his shiny Dratini for a Weedle.

I really hope that Gold can have a possible redemption arc someday.

Those Steelix melting in lava sprites are horror You nailed it

That Dragonair trading sequence was one of the most painful things I've ever seen. Absolute masterpiece, keep it up. 💪

The relatable feeling of getting rejected by the girl you like and joining a domestic terrorist group

Love how these animations range from cute and derpy to absolutely horrifying and scary

I need a Part 3 / 2. Gold's story cannot end like this

I love how the team was a Circumcised Typhlosion, an over leveled but crap Hoppip, A Large Anime Ledyba, Shiny Dragonair, A Traded Voltorb & yet the story ends with Gold going evil and emo, I loved this man

the save file corruption ending was actually done really well, because gold himself actually got "corrupted" in a way

the moment gold traded dragonair i knew it was gonna go downhill from there but i never expected that ending truly a masterpiece of animation

Funnily enough, the moment Gold/Ethan joined as one of the grunts of Team Rocket is similar Meowth's origin: both tried to impress their loved ones, only to get rejected (the female Meowth and Kris from Pokemon Crystal).

Man, this was an incredible, beautiful, and soul crushing animation. Ending the journey when Gold is so depressed after trading away Dragonair, and joins Team Rocket as a result, is such a gut punch to the heart, especially when we all expected for the journey to at least end with him becoming the Johto champion. But the fact of the matter is, not all of us complete the games we play as children. For one reason or another, we may end up dropping it and never finishing out playthroughs. And that's what makes this animation stand out from the rest of the Pokémon animations out there. Underneath all the raunchy humor, is the story of a boy beginning his Pokémon adventure, and losing the passion he once had for the game after a traumatic event. Although I know you'll most likely leave the story here, I can't help but wish Gold and his Pokémon have the happy ending they deserve. Keep up the fantastic work Xandrecos 😊

Wasn't expecting that ending AT ALL.

Someone give this man his shiny dratini back😭

Red became a Bidophile,Gold became a member of Team Rocket...oh my,i can't even imagine what the next generation Pokémon trainer's ending will be !

This took so many unexpected turns that somehow felt completely in character despite referencing existing media. It was definitely worth the wait!

This was insane. Probably the best animation I've ever seen for GSC. Good humor, dumpies, mirroring the color palettes, a story arc, excellent animation. This was lightning in a bottle. Job well done.

Moral of the story: Don't be a simp.

*Animation lesson:* It's not Team Rocket that makes a person bad/evil,but rather a b!tch that manipulates your heart and steal your beloved Pokémon from you. (Especially because this Pokémon is a valuable Dratini).

bro that went down hill really fast, pls give this poor guy a redemption

OH MAH GOD YES. SO EXCITED 8) Edit (post-watch): wow what a sad ending. Gold had so much potential to grow. I was not expecting the finale to be so dark. Seeing Gold shift from being a happy go-lucky kid who loves his Pokémon friends, to an emotionless husk that takes out his aggression on others is disheartening. I can’t believe this is real. As sad as this is however, this sudden change is pretty realistic for some people I’ve known in real life. Mental health is obviously a real issue. For those who are reading this, remember to be close to those who care about you. And most importantly, remember to love yourself. Do it for Gold.

Honestly seeing Gold be scammed out of a shiny pokemon hits way too close to home for me, I remember as a kid spending hours trying to find a munchlax in Pokémon diamond before I finally got one with the help of my brother, A kid at my school really wanted a munchlax because it was his faverote and i wanted to be friends with him. Munchlax was also my faverote pokemon, but I wanted to share it with him, so I traded it to him, That guy did not give it back and stole it from me, and claimed to lost his game cart when I kept asking him. So this silly lil animation made me feel super horrible, good job!

SPOILER : Theory I had upon the ending I had this theory that he became a Rocket League member in order to get back his Dragonair

Also love the custom music pieces with the Gold/Silver soundfont! You guys always go the extra mile

22:34 honestly in a really odd way this kinda resonates with me, dreaming that the unfortunate and hard times you’re going through are just a dream, and there’s nothing to worry about anymore

Given this dark ending, in addition to the uncomfortable ending of Pokemon Red, I think that the ending of Pokemon Ruby will be very dark, especially since it is the only game that gives the protagonist a father, and it is the first game in which the male counterpart or the female counterpart are present together, in addition to being the generation that introduced Gardevoir

4:19 that spritework is insane. Imagine seeing that in an actual g/s romhack/fangame shit would be peak

Reposted because someone in the comments was way to argumentative in the replies. You have such a good knack for characterization. From the Japanese toting ladyba, the prankster asshole hoppip, and Gold being a mostly lovable goof. I was hooked from the first minute of the original video. This is a whole roller coaster ride of a video. I love this series because of how real it feels. It's not just a happy story, and the way you use nostalgia is more than just siivagunner rips and memes. You incorporate it into the characterization in a way that feels natural. You're sooo good at writing silly yet gripping serialized stories. Instead of being a dopamine farm of a video, It's a very real experience. (spoilers beyond this point) I noticed the video wasn't that long, so I was thinking we would just make it to the champion's hall and post game content would just be left behind. It would make sense because to drop it and leave it at that because there's so much to do between these games. Like with matty burritos playthrough he skims through some of the content for some jokes. But you had such an invested feel and took time with each location to establish the feelings of each scene AND IT ALL Lands so well. I was upset that poor Typhlosion had to get neutered for his aggression, I love the whole beach scene in olivine and how hoppip is still a wascally basterd, It actually blew my mind when gold managed to break the rock. Ampharos after the revive, the whole ecruteak gym was a doozy. Steelix melting, the poor nidos at the end. I was upset that gold was starting to get mean at the end, but while not the best end for gold, it's a great example of a character being negatively developed. I mean, people in the comments are still hoping he gets another go around. I don't blame them, he's such a lovable silly goober of a cheeto ball. There's so much love and care put into this too. Even the sequence were you kept jumping off the ledge over and over again was so fun. AND the DOUBLE it was all a dream ending at the end. You do such a good job at defying expectations and getting people invested. I hope you continue to make wonderful art like this, and that you're remembered as an artist who isn't afraid to be real. Thank you!

imagine the panic attack girl from the first part also joins team rocket and then she and gold get together and get revenge on the couple that wronged them

A cena do Steelix foi mtoooo fodaaaa, cara que série boa essas de pokemon KKKKK amo muito seu estilo de humor e desenho

I love how typhlosion has become to the goofy dad once evolving lol

The fact this canonically ends with Gold going from a naive but happy kid to getting his entire life ruined is something i didn't expect but is pretty fun but sad at the same time

Part of this was Gold's fault as he was impatient and didn't realize that you had to engage in a conversation with someone and get to know them that way. Edit: Keep in mind, this isn't a defense for Kris as she did essentially blackmailed him out of his Dratini, which was a rare shiny and has been with him for a long time since they're first met in Goldenrod. I'm just saying that Gold himself isn't exactly innocent either since whenever he saw her, he constantly tried to flaunt instead of actually talking to her like a normal person.

He went the route of emo stan marsh

Your guys deserve all the praise for this. The two parts together makes this a official animated movie! A movie with no voice acting, simple yet brilliant animation, amazing pace, full of jokes and goin into places that even hollywood don't go and escape the grasp of all those manuals about how to wright a story. All done lighting fast and hit you like a truck. This is truly something else.

The dream sequence with the music from the Pokemon TCG gameboy game and him remembering all his pokemon and trying to hypothetically move on made me legitimately sad. What a tragic ending...i truly wish we could get a part 3 to redeem Gold and reunite him with Dragonair. Bravo sir, your video of a goober version of Gold made me tear up remembering my past pokemon teams and memories. 😢

EXCELENTE TRABALHO! Eu adoro como vc usa as cores e os sprites originais! Parabéns!

This ending of the video moved me more than many modern Pixar films nowadays. I hope Gold can be happy again and can give this horrendous girl what she deserves.

The cliffhanger and then the little corrupted file part as well! Brilliance! Can’t wait for part 3. Also I like how Typlosion has calmed down a lot more since he evolved and now is taking care of Gold

続きが気になっていたので、それが観れて嬉しいです😊 キャラクターがとても可愛いのに内容がエグくて、そしてまさかの結末に驚きました！面白かったです！

Poor Gold really, I thought Kris was going to pay him attention this time and literally she broke his heart of gold, If we get a part 3 hope Gold really destroys Crystal's life into a bunch of pieces

Iwai did say he wanted the protagonists to look dorky and uncool, so this is the most accurate portrayal

The sound design your animations are so fucking good omg

4:50 amazing leekspin with the GSC soundfont, prehistoric meme but it sure does take me back :)

Man I know how it feels. When I was a kid, I bonded with a certain Braviary, which I foolishly traded and couldn't get back. It really hurt 11yo me. I never even gave it a name.

My guess is that Gold will become the main villain of the next Pokemon animation titles.

Remember early south park? Its back in form of pokemon parodies.

Es la saga más bizarra y repugnante de la historia. Me ha encantado lo antisatisfactoria que es. Hermano, eres el mejor!!! Saludos desde España, compa brasileño 🇪🇦💛🇧🇷

Gold recreated that on banned SpongeBob episode 💀💀💀

Lets call this version of Gold "Golf" because it would annoy a certain individual here

I imagine it's only gonna get worse for Gold past this point. His anger and resentment for those that betrayed his trust will only aid in his ruthlessness. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries tracking down Crystal to steal his shiny Dragonair back, and then become a genuine threat.

well that was depressing, but I guess I gotta respect basing it on your own game

i love malasia pokemon videos

I'd go on a villain arc too if I gave my shiny dragonair up just to get betrayed and backstabed

Genuinely had a laughing fit from the whole segment on Morty's gym, absolute gold

The beasts not even dying from the fire, but Gold’s cheeks was hilarious. Great video!

Still one of my favorite animations on youtube. The sound effects and facial expressions are so charming, Gold is a suprisingly likable character for most of the series, and that twist at the end was great!

Your style is somehow both a comforting 70's School House Rock and a jarring 2000's New Grounds and its the perfect mix.

Six months that were definitely worth it !😎

Sincere question: How do you all produce these animations so fast?? It's both very impressive and a little mind boggling!

Worse case scenario for a kid besides losing your mom and dad is seeing corrupt file on your gold/silver game

20:06 I think this is one of the best scenes I have ever watched in my whole live. The distorted winning battle song. Gold punching the Kid. This is easily on of the best pokemon videos I had ever watched.

Can’t get over the little nod he does during the Pokemon Black sequence on his phone, like “Yeah, man. It’s real. It’s so real.”

I genuinely thought Gold was going to enter Team Rocket in order to steal Dragonair back from Crystal, and then it ended. This cannot be the end! Please let it not be 🙏

What I've leanred here is that the path from simp to incel is a dark one

I just feel bad for Gold this entire time he doesn't deserve all this and mf got scammed and we lost our favorite dratini

Man, I wasn’t expecting that ending. Bit sad, but quite an amazing journey to follow!

babe wake up xandrecos and golfhino posted

I absolutely adore how well this is animated as well as the old sounds used for it. It really captures the era of gold/silver honestly perfectly!

Finally the person has finally made a second video of his hit and viral series pokemon gold with a heartfelt ending and lovable characters, this truly is a piece of arte

Another amazing vid. These cartoons have the perfect blend of comedy, levity, and terror.

O homem nasce bom mas perder um dragoner shiny por uma garota que não o ama o corrompe

What a journey, love that unspected ending tbh o:

Part 2/2 GOLD and SILVER probably gone have a part 1/? Of Pokemon CRYSTAL I hope..

I remember a friend of mine took a look at my subscription feed and saw some of the other videos from this channel and Golfinho yuri's. They wondered why I was subscribed and these Pokemon vidoes are the main reason and why I'm still here, really great stuff!!

What a sad ending. I hope you revisit this story at some point, I want to see Gold in a better place than this. Even if he doesnt get to be the champion, seeing him leave Typhlosion and Hoppip behind really hurt to watch.

That dragonair trade was so painful

Spoiler alert: The ending is something that I didn’t expect.

THAT CANT BE THE END! IT CANT! THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT CAN CHANGE THIS!

hoppip’s arc from prideful bully to scared coward doesn’t get talked about enough

The loss of Dratini... I really felt that.

This video SINGLEHANDLY proves how important well chosen sound effects are! Amazing job!

Ainda assistindo, vou separar um tempo para ver o resto, é obra de arte pura você, amo Pokémon antigo e tu faz animação disso, impossível não ser seu fã.

God, I hope for more of these. They are a gold mine (no pun intended)

I hope now that the Gold/Silver saga is finished, Gold will get his redemption in a potential Crystal video. Been obsessed with these animations since the first, keep it up!

23:24 Now that shits just not fair, lol. Poor Gold.

I love how Ledyba is the den mother of the group. She's an underrated character in my opinion.

The ending was really unexpected and I love it! This video has everything; good humor, tragic scenes, disturbing imagery, obscure references! And the music... Oh, those arrangements are wonderful and I really love how you use the 8-Bits sounds! I really wonder what *would have* happened next. P.S.: I had to edit my comment since, at first, I failed to understand something as clear as the literal meaning of "The save file is corrupted!". Besides, I'm eager to watch more of Xandrecos's work. I'm used to happy endings and this one is not just refreshing to watch since, in life, not everything ends happily, but it also hits me hard for several reasons, such as one of my fears being losing save data I spent too much time on. I've been rewatching this video over and over these days. It had me thinking about some stuff I consider I needed to reflect about. 5:38 By the way, nice Fairly Oddparents reference you did there.

I've been more invested with these animations than anything official from Pokemon, especially 12:58 - 13:18, this is what Pokemon always was to me. And using the retro sounds and recreating the gameplay just reminds me why I even loved the franchise in the first place.

Jesus that ending was unexpected :O The animation was superb and I loved the sound design as well! Like, it might be the best music/sounds from any pokemon animation I have seen so far, awesome job man!

Excited to see whatever animation u do next pokemon or not. I love the artstyle and unique take on characters aswell as the uses of the gameboy bit sounds.

Once again, the sound design is beautiful and the humor is deranged. Can't wait to see more of these lol.

*GOAT TIER ANIMATION*

This series since I saw its first part I have loved it, I had been looking forward to its second part, I can say that it was very worth the waiting time. At first I noticed that it was still normal and I loved it, but the ending was very unexpected and the reality check was felt, I just hope that Gold can find his happy ending one day. This two-part series is a complete masterpiece

I've never been more ready in my life

This looks amazing! I really hope this series continues, and I also love the animation and the storytelling. Looks like you put in a-ton of work and love into it!

Part of my soul left me when he made that second trade.😢

That face at 15:58 omg 🤣

These are so well done. omg you and Yuri put in so much effort with these. Please keep em up!

Essas com certeza são as animações de respeito que só um Brasileiro pode oferecer para gente.✊⭐
