Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy Part 2 to this long journey, let me know some of your favorite moments from the Johto region adventures!

That scene of Ash, Misty and Brock at the crossroad and choosing to go their separate ways is one of the most memorable moments in the show.

Kanto/Johto really feels like two halves of one whole, which is why I love them

I am so glad someone decided to do this in video format. I will forever cherish this series

Damn we're already 4 hours in and we haven't even gotten to Diamond and Pearl yet! I admire your extreme dedication to this! I haven't watched Pokemon in years, so these videos will be super helpful for the later seasons.

Holy crap, I didn't expect part 2 so soon! I'm really looking forward to watching this as gen 2 is my favorite. There was just something so magical and mysterious about how Johto and it's new Pokemon were slowly revealed. Nowadays, a new region is given, but being the first, Johto was like "Wait, there's another entire set of these creatures?!" It was a whole new world we lived in, but you still had to catch them all.

The best part about Ash's character development is how he went from unable to punch Mewtwo in the first movie, to full on yeeting him in the sequel.

Honestly the best thing about ash finally getting to come home and being done is that Bayleaf's Year long depression that's been going on for 20 years Is can finally be over. She's like a puppy I love her.

Sorry it's not more, but thank you so much for this series! It's St. Patrick's Day and I get the night off with my sweetheart and can't wait to watch this with him. Appreciate you, J Money!

I'm still emotionally recovering from Misty having to separate from the group. Loved their dynamic and it just never quite felt the same afterwards with other companions.

Damn. I remember watching that episode where the main trio goes their separate ways for the first time. I freaking cried. Even now, I am teary-eyed as I'm typing this. This has, truly, been one epic journey that has been a massive part of my whole life. Thank you Pokémon, and thank you, Jordan, for doing these recaps. Have been loving them, and I am looking forward to the following parts

Amazing second part! Thank you for taking your time to create such a good content for Pokemon fans, we appreciate it!! Waiting for part 3!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻

The Casey/Eleckid episode is the first Pokémon episode that was produced in high definition and more digital animation. That’s why after that episode you will see a very clear color and animation smoothing difference

As someone who fell off the anime long ago, it’s cool to have these recaps as both a bit of nostalgia and to catch up on what missed as Ash and Pikachu end their journey. Thanks for putting so much effort into these! Side note. It’d be kind of cool if the new characters went to the other regions and we see how things have changed. Maybe see older versions the Gym Leaders and even let poor Janine have her anime debut.

I haven’t watched Pokémon in years, kinda forgot how emotional and pretty well written it is, might have to do my own Pokémon marathon

Knowing that Prof. Oak has known Ash from such a long time ago is such a crazy twist that really makes Pokemon an ageless classic that anyone can enjoy.

Charizard is basically Ash's dad, starting out being a rude a-hole, disappearing for most of the time, only to come back in times of plot convenience.

As an adult, it's rough going back and looking at just how ass Ash was as a Pokemon trainer. I kept screaming, "Stop giving up your Pokemon!"

I can't believe it took me all these years after watching this video to notice the change into the hoen series art style as the season gets closer to the end. It's little things like that, that makes me love animation especially from pokemon

I need something to listen to at work, Appreciate these longer videos

i remember as a kid going with my dad during halftime of a Jet game rent the latios latias movie from blockbuster...now im almost 25 with my own career where does the time go 0.0 thank you for reminding me of that moment it feels so vivid now. I never would've remembered it if not for this video

I just finished part 1 yesterday and was dreading having to wait long for part 2. This is perfect timing!

Loved the first part, just starting on the second. Really enjoy the detail you go into. There aren't many videos about Ash's full journey that go step-by-step. Really appreciated!

Cannot wait for the sinnoh, Alola and Journeys parts those are my favs

Dude no way this is out already. I've been so excited for this

I remember being 10, 11 years old, and being thoroughly let down by the lack of resolution to the GS Ball arc. At the same time, Ash's climactic battle with Gary was so incredibly satisfying, and the goodbyes with Misty and Brock tugged at all the heartstrings.

The ad didn't even start and I already liked the video. Jordan you're such a boss, I love your deep dives on my favorite childhood media. Having ADHD sometimes focusing on a single task when I work from home or solo can be challenging but your videos are descriptive, vivid and long enough to allow me to more effectively work on those tasks! 🙏🙏

Johto had quite the impact starting off with the theme song which really nails down the feeling of a whole new world of Pokemon to see and experience. I also must agree that Cyndaquil is best boy/girl.

The Johto seasons always felt very underlooked to me, so it's nice that they're finally being brought into light as they do have some pretty noteworthy and defining moments in the series as a whole, as mentioned in the video. (Also Wobbuffet joins in these seasons and is longest active Team Rocket Pokemon besides Meowth, and that's pretty cool too)

Pt3 is going to be AMAZING! Gen 3 was my introduction, both show and games. Love the channel, love this series!

Thanks Jordan! I listened to part 1 twice already and it both times were amazing! Thus, this will be great as well

Bulbasaur fake refusing to shake Squirtle's hand is one of the most underrated moments. Shows so much the attitude that Bulbasaur had and the friendship he had cemented over the years with Squirtle

I'm really enjoying this trip down memory lane of Ash's journey. It takes me back to watching the show as a kid and I'm enjoying the nostalgia. Super looking forward to the rest of this series.

I literally remember everything from Part 1 & 2! This has been great to re-experience.

This is why this was my favorite genetation that made me cry and made me appreciate even more generation 3.

Finally!!! I always loved Mewtwo Strikes Back and I am so glad to hear someone else acknowledge its brilliance!!

The Johto theme songs were bangers. They were my jam back in the day

I love how seamlessly the stories connected from season to season in this era. Orange Islands ended with the group being sent to New Bark Town to start the quest of delivering the GS Ball, and Johto ends with Ash setting off for the Hoenn region after tons of build up! Gods, the Johto seasons were truly wonderful!

Jordan thank you so much for these videos, this is making me feel so nostalgic and it’s super helpful with catching up with the Pokémon lore, you’re doing great, I hope you stick through this series all the way until the end

I grew up watching the show a bit when I was younger and playing the games a lot .. I’m 27 now and have found time to come back and suddenly became interested in collecting the old handhelds and playing my old Pokémon games it’s just as addicting as it was when I was younger even all these years later !

I can’t imagine the amount of work these long videos are but they’re amazing, a labor of love. Thank you Jordan they’re amazing

Your break downs of this show and introspective thoughts about it are amazing!

Love the risks you're taking with the channel this year Jordan!

Ash vs Gary is one of my all-time favorite anime battles. They built up to this through two regions. And you have to love every time Charizard returns in epic fashion, be it during a movie or the show.

Faster turn around than i expected on part 2. Great job and please keep it up!

I've been watching some of the first season's episodes and I love how much heart there is in them. This retrospective is so much fun, I remember so many of these moments and forgot some great ones. I didn't remember Gary's ending, going off to become a researcher. Great job going through so many episodes and thanks for all the care you put into this!

By watching this video, it saves basically weeks of binge watching! Thank you and keep up the good work!

I've never seen the Johto series so I appreciate that you took so much effort to do this video in general.

Spectacular video! I can't wait for Part 3 to come out. You've really done fantastic work on this series Jordan. And I hope you continue this.

This was the perfect start to my weekend, thank you for the binge watch Jordan!!💖🙏🏻✨🥰

RIP Ash and the OG Pokémon, can't believe over 20 years of a chapter in my life are ending 💔

Thanks for this I quit watching Pokémon around this era and now this will hopefully let me get a glimps on what I missed

Christmas has come early, and this is exactly what we wanted.

The detail you put into this series makes it my favourite way to experience the anime. I don't have much knowledge on the franchise. I watched most of the first season 7 years ago and I got to gym 5 in Pokémon Gold twice (once on emulator, once on GBC because it was very sunny that summer); That's all I know. Thanks to your efforts I'm starting to really appreciate this franchise on a deeper level and see why it's so beloved by people of all ages.

Man, you've been making my drives to work and home so much better. I hope part 3 doesn't too long. Loved the writing! Keep up the great work

Cant explain to you how much I appreciate part one and two

What a treat on this lovely Irish holiday! A certifiable pot of gold, indeed. And the pot of gold still at the end of my rainbow Is a Big Fat Liar review.

I can't believe Pokemon has impact in my life. I stopped watching the series when I entered College. Thanks for giving nostalgia on this video. A worth to watch. 💖

Gutted I can't watch this video yet, I've still got like 90 episodes left of Johto to watch in my marathon

This series made give out the sub. Your homage to ash is the greatest KZfaq send off I've seen. This is also my favorite generation!

The quality of these videos is astounding. These videos have tremendous purpose and are very important for people trying to relive the show. Thank you for the videos!

Cant wait for part 3. Thank you for your effort. Appreciate it.

exactly wat i need after a 6 hour overtime shift on a saturday !

The silly references and jokes are hilarious, and keep you engaged!

The story of the 3rd movie’s development is just some really thought provoking and trippy stuff, the feeling of being lost during the modern world and trying to find the feelings of days long gone (with the dinosaur wanting to return to its friends their resting place and the writer realizing his age when at a hospital and feeling some existentialism regarding that). I’m wondering if there’s a trope regarding this since another anime I saw Brave of Legend Da Garn had something similar with the spirit of a dinosaur represented by their fossil asking that they be buried and not disturbed so he may stay with his friends he has been protecting even after death. meanwhile the final movie has the most reality warping happening caused by grief and loss (the unnown are terrifying seeing this) the visuals are great

Man. I am loving my ads being timed with those "Who's that Pokemon? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I still get hyped when charizard rolls up in Pokémon 3 to help ash,that’s my boi right thur saving the day again 💯

It's a whole new world with a brand new attitude but he still had to catch them all.

Jordan. You’re making me wanna binge the anime. Stop being so good at this

Honestly the timing on this was perfect....especially with what happened in the latest episode which I love!!!

Finally part 2!!

I LOVE Mewtwo Returns and it’s a crime that it’s not an official movie

Thanks Fringe. It's kinda sad, but back then the Charizard Valley episode was the last one I got to see.

Please keep this up!!!! I will never bring myself to watch the whole of the anime as I’m already shrouded investing my time to dive deep into the games only… so this series of yours Jordan is the furthest I’ve ever delved into the Franchises anime successfully so thank you so much for saving me a huge amount of time!!!!! Subscribed after part 1

I'm really glad I came across your series, I have been wanting to go through pokemon from the start but I didn't really want to sit through all of the episodes, so this is perfect. I'm looking forward to part 3, this has been a delight ouo

Jordan, you’re absolutely killing it with these! Thank you! 🖤

I heard you mention how this was a big hobby for you and your mother to bond over. I lost my mother recently and when I got back into Pokémon it brought back ton of memories of her!

I absolutely loved this one. I forgot how awesome Jhoto was . This brought back all the memories and feels . Thank you so much for this . I dant wait for part 3 . 😁

wow, didn't expect another Feature Length video so soon when i saw the upload date of Part 1, AMAZING WORK This series is such a nostalgia trip man thank you for that man

Thank you for actually taking your time and watching Pocket Monster! A lot of people make videos about the anime without even knowing a whole lot about it. For the views. So it's nice having someone actually being open to watch it.

Cindaquill is also my favorite starter! This made my day!

I'm not ready to say goodbye to Ash when it comes over to the states. Thanks Jordan!

Please keep this series alive

I got out of Pokemon, after XYZ, but it's good to see Ash finally grow up and move on, after such a long journey.

Ash curbstomping Casey will never stop being funny. 😂

I love this video for so many reasons, I've recently been showing my kids Pokemon and with all the new generations I haven't paid attention to since gen 3. It's like a whole new adventure

Having fun opening packs, playing Pokemon live and watching this recap

You've done an unbelievable job with this one mate, new subscriber confirmed. Wonderful powers of summarisation, great watch, got the nostalgia flowing free. Thanks!

Left for vacation after watching the last video, came back today to finish it. Went to check your channel to see if you've made the next one and apparently it came out an hour ago 😂 what luck!

Thank you for taking me down nostalgia lane. I never saw some of these episodes and you are completing the story for me. You're #1

I was waiting for this after that great first part. Good job mate!

The first theme from this arc is still my favorite classic theme.

Part of me wishes I found this series after you cover the final part of the journey so I could watch it all in one go, but another part of me is happy I found it as it’s being produced so I can properly anticipate it because I don’t know what happens next

This series is so great! The nostalgia is exactly what I need

literally just woke up, made a coffee and saw this posted. instant Saturday morning cartoon vibes!

I am absolutely loving this nostalgia trip down memory lane. I haven’t watched Pokémon since I was a kid and catching up in this format is so fun. Thank you!

That "who's that pokemon" makes me feel likes it's 4pm after school. The sun used to shine longer back then.

I always really liked Harrison as a character and always hoped him and his Blaziken would show back up.

Honestly I think either Jessie or James should’ve caught that Totodile. Like it would’ve been so cool seeing them with a starter Pokémon!

I havnt seen pokemon since they introduced the og crew replacements and my god this video has made me wanna rewatch them. They seriously captured lightning in a bottle with the original series and honestly some how all 5 of those movies. I forgot how much I loved all of this
