Not even 20 seconds in and I burst out laughing. I can't believe you used Smitty Werbermanjensen to depict the "first" Pokemon. Bravo.

I prefer to think that Arceus created everything in the universe and mew was the progenitor of all pokemon life on earth.

"So where is your god now?" you just said two and a half seconds ago that you put it in a tiny metal sphere, I know exactly where he is

I feel like Arceus was the first pokemon who then created Palkia, Dialga and Giratina, then created all the ancient legendaries and then created Mew, who was the first "non-legendary" pokemon. In the modern pokemon world it is known as a legendary pokemon for being both beleived to be the first pokemon and being a powerful pokemon who is beleived to have gone extinct and is very rare. Even though it is considered a legendary, it's original purpose was not that of a "guardian", but that of a "basic" lifeform that could evolve (not pokemon evolve, real life evolve) into many different types of pokemon to populate the pokemon world. I feel like Arceus would have done that, since it's waaay easier than individually creating each pokemon species. But that's just my theory, lol...

Mew! Ancient Mew card is my favorite!!!!!! Plus..who doesn't like Mew!!!!!

Head Canon: Arceus is the first Pokemon ever created via Pokemon's Big Bang. Mew is the first Pokemon created by Arceus and became the base for all Pokemon that aren't Legendary, as those were created by Arceus later. Rhydon is the first officially discovered Pokemon that was documented and studied. Bulbasaur is the first Pokemon categorized in a Trainer's Pokedex in Kanto/when national, Kanto being the first region to have Pokedexes. Thumbs up if you accept this. Thumbs down if you think this is a crock of shit.

Arceus=god mew=adam and eve?

Maybe arceus created mew.

Wouldn't it be weird if Ash had a Pikachu instead of a Relicanth?

It's funny because when you mentioned Arceus and talked about how you pronounced it, your "How to pronounce Pokemon" video was in the recommended video section

The first and greatest Pokemon is.... Our master and savior Omastar. Sadly the history books have gotten it wrong by giving such a prestigious tittle to that peasant Arceus.

I like to think that Arceus existed before anything in the world, and then he created the universe along with Mew, and Mew proceeded to give birth or whatever to all other Pokemon

Bulbasaur is # one in my books ;P

Jwittz should do the voice of Detective Pikachu for an English version.

What about Victini? It's Pokedex number is 0 so Bulbasaur should be out of the window.

Some consider Poliwag as the first Pokemon because according to the Pokémon Special (#3) for the Official Nintendo Magazine, Poliwag was the first Pokémon to be designed by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori.

Lord Helix is our first pokemon

Yeah, but let's all be honest. Mega Venusaur is definetly the strongest out of the original starters' megas. Let the argument commence.

ERASED IS THAT ANIME!!! I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!

Bu... Bu... But bulbasaur is my second favourite Pokemon of ALL TIME!

♪ If you want to be a Pokemon number one... ♪

I remember as a kid when I got my hands on Blue version, I chose Bulbasaur. I always chose Bulba.

Just call arceus llama God

Thanks for standing up for my Bulbasaur. That made me very happy.

for example, John Cena pronounced See-na so i assume arceus pronounced ar-See-us

This is how I seem to understand it: In the game's universe, Arceus created the world and the legendaries in it, and Mew was once abundant in the Pokemon world's ancient history before they began to disappear for one reason or another. With that in mind, I always thought that the Pokedex numbered the Pokemon off of when they were discovered, which can be very questionable at times. I guess you can technically say Mew Two was 'discovered' before Mew, given they just used Mew DNA apparently and never encountered one firsthand for a while, but with new generations it seems that Pokemon not in the first Pokedex were still known of for even longer, which brings into account the whole "Where did these 100 new Pokemon come in? They were a little to the West of a random mountain" in Generation 2. So, Arceus created all Pokemon, and eventually Mew I guess... evolves into the different species of Pokemon we have now, leaving no more of the original Mew, only traces of it, until people could bring it back in some way, making it rare enough to be given the 'legendary' title. And, had the Pokedex actually mattered in the discovery and documentation of Pokemon, Bulbasaur would be the first Pokemon discovered. And calling Rhydon the first Pokemon is a little meta, so LOLnope.

Hoopa was forgotten - Hoopa was supposedly the first Pokemon any humans ever met, because it introduced all Pokemon to the world via its portals.

An interesting semantic argument from the mew vs Arceus debate is that nowhere in the dex entries does it state Arceus is the first pokemon. It just says that he predated the universe. Which means if you take the entries at face value, it implies that mew just existed before the universe as well.

I found funny the fact that a 10 yo random trainer can litteraly catch god.

Sorry, but the "Arceus can NOT learn all moves while Mew CAN learn all moves" seals the deal for me. It ONLY MAKES SENSE for the FIRST EVER POKEMON to be born into existence that it CAN learn ALL MOVES. The fact that Arceus can NOT learn all moves suggests that he is "imperfect" and doesn't explain how later Pokémon who CAN learn moves that Arceus could NOT learn were able to learn those moves in the first place. The simple answer is "They INHERITED the ability to learn those moves from the REAL FIRST EVER POKEMON who has the DNA OF FOR ALL POKEMON in existence, aka MEW!" That's my opinion on the matter.

Primape was the first. *In the cards **In the anime ***Only in Japan XD XD XD

Can I be the first Pokemon? I've always wanted to be #1

Please tell me I'm not the only one who lost it when they saw Mew's face on Adam's and Arceus on God's face.

TheJWittz you forgot the early pokemon in the time of dinasaurs too like the fossal pokemon

Bulbasaur is a smart starter because a) in red/blue it lets you sail past the first 2 gyms but also b) grass pokemon tend to be fairly weak because of their dual types, so other than tangela, bulbasaur is the strongest grass type in gen 1

Finally a Pokemon video by jwittz

The first Pokémon is obviously Gulpin!

Rhydon is confirmed to be the 1st pokemon ever created, as there was 190 pokemon planned for Gen 1 and the index numbers show that Rhydon is 1. Just saying, though I doubt anyone will care :(

One argument I rarely see but kind of agree with is saying that Mew came before Arceus, main point being that Arceus created the universe, but who said Mew originally existed in this universe or even the same dimension? Mew can effectively learn every TM and HM so who's to say that Mew doesn't know a move that have it traverse dimensions or across the universe instantaneously that is unique only to itself? Deoxys is an alien virus from space so even on the planet of Pokemon there are still mysteries lying outside the world. Again, just an argument I've seen and it does make sense since even the world of Pokemon doesn't know everything about Pokemon, heck if they did they wouldn't need professors.

Actually the battle inside the pokemon lore is between mew and arceus... but none are certain... you guys know why? MEW represents science, DNA, ancestor, etc etc... Arceus represents religion, universe creation, etc etc... In the end you choose what you want to believe... I, myself, am more of a science guy... soooo mew... also I love the ORIGINALS... sooo... mew again and forever mew =D As you guys can see... no one is sure when talking about both... religion says it is believed it was arceus... science sees mew, that has the base of ALL pokemon DNA, and say he was the first...

Last time I was this early to a video, These jokes didn't exist.

"WHO'S YOUR GOD NOW?!?!" i laughed so fracking hard!!! also i like to giggle at the thought of mew hatching the egg of arceus

Actually Treeko is the first pokemon because he was the first Pokemon I ever played with

3:00 perfect I love it

in the games it is Rhydon. In the universe it is Arceus being the "god"

I think fossil pokemon should have also got a reference.

"FIRST!" -Everyone

"WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?" Haha that was great.

Under 100 Club, unite!

Mew was introduced in first gen as the first pokemon Bulbasuar was found first and its information in the pokedex Arceus was later on introduced in 4 gen as the mythical pokemon or creator of universe. So..... first Arceus came. Created Dialga,Palkia and Giratina. Then on EARTH he created Mew FIRST. Then other legendaries and pokemons. Bulbasuar was first who's information was registered in the pokedex. According to the international or regional pokedex bulbasuar is first as pokedex was first made in the Kanto region. Hence, in every region as the pokedex was firstly made in kanto, bulbasaur is first in no. then Mew's DNA was found and Mew was registered. From that DNA Mewtwo was produced. And at last Arceus was found.

Ill tell you guys the origin ok.....Arceus was also hatched from an egg....he felt alone so he created another God which is the God of the Distortion Wolrd Giratina......Then Arceus Created the guardians of Land,Sea,and Sky which were Groudon,Kyogre, and Rayquaza.....then created the guardians of space and time Palkia and Dialga......Then He created guardians of light and darkness Zekrom and Reshiram.....Then lastly he created Mew to make every pokemon( including some legendaries)...Thats why mew can learn every move ever...

Arceus pronunciation - Ar-Kay-... Oh... R-K-O.

What if Arceus is dad and Mew is mom

Simple Arceus is God and the creator... Mew is Adam or Eve or really anything involving two people surviving or being created to repopulate/populate the earth and continue a species/race, I'm looking at you follow up to Pandora's Box/Pithos(Ancient Greek Storage Jar)/Whatever the heck the gods stuffed non physical bull crap in and dues ex giant flood that happens in literally every mythology.

I'm glad Pokémon Red and Charizard's overrated bitch ass got bodied in every single region in Splatfest. People need to give Bulbasaur love. T-T

omg , that part when he said the "A" word...totally necessary xDDD!!!!

1 like=1 prayer to bulbasour

Full Fairy Tail team: Charizard- Natsu Yvetal- Zeref Keldeo- Erza Skarmory- Gajeel Mamoswine- Gray Klefki- Lucy

Ash was the first pokemon, I refuse to believe he's a real boy

Exactly 10 minutes?

JWITTZ THE NEW POKEMON GAMES HAVE BE LEAKED!!!!!!

5:06 hahaha for some reason I just love the way Arceus comes in and says "Hey I'm God"

Also worth mentioning, Mew was the first Pokemon trademarked by Game Freak. If I remember correctly, this was also done back in 1990.

is like asking who was first, the chicken or the egg? I said the chicken, cause it seems a very obvious answer.

.....it's still Ar-sea-us

Rhydon created the universe, and being the humble pokemon he is, gave his power and title to two other pokemon

Arceus: I am god! A 10 year old: You are mine.

im atheist so mew is the first pokemon

Wich came first the chicken or the egg

I was recently able to get in touch with a person who worked for wizards of the Coast when they still created the trading card game. I interviewed her about the TCG's beginninhs, and i learned this: The cards that had been created for the original pitch of the idea to Nintendo were as follows: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Poke Ball, Professor Oak, Bill, Water Energy, Fire Energy, Grass Energy, Double Colorless Energy, Lightning Energy, and Pikachu. This is actually how the Yellow-cheek Red-cheek Pikachu mixup came to be. in the original pitch, Pikachu was colored with yellow cheeks, as but if using an electric type attack. However, when Sugimori made the official artwork, he colored the cheeks red, like a normal Pikachu. WoTC was not able to catch the mistake until the cards were already in circulation. Now, for a few more firsts: The first concept art for a Pokemon card was Bill. The first Pokemon card that was finished (attacks, attack cost, weakness, artwork, etc) was Base Set Gastly. (That would explain why it's so terrible.) The first Pokemon card to ever be printed for official packaging in Japan was a Water Energy, whereas in America, it was completely random, since all the cards had already been made in Japan, and America didn't have to do any work; they just had to hook up the machine and start cranking them out. The person I talked to said that a lot of people claim that the first card ever printed in America was Mewtwo, but I find this hard to believe considering its rarity. The first Pokemon you see in the original Pokemon TCG advertisement in Japan is a Charizard.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who numerically ordered and organized my boxes

Arceus is the first Pokemon because the real God created the world and all animals in 7 days, so the Pokemon "god" did make all Pokemon and the Pokemon world.

I support Mew since it was created first, appeared first and can do more things than Arceus.

What I think: Arceus created all the legendaries, including Mew. Mew is a common ancestor to all *non-legendary* Pokémon.

5:34 This is a Gengar? O_o I always thought it's a Snorlax!

I thought that... 1.Bublasaur was #1 in pokedex 2.Rhydon was the first Pokemon designed 3.Mew is the first Pokemon to be copyrighted 4.Arceus is god and is related w all Pokemon along w mew. (All of them) and that is why it is the first Pokemon ever!!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓

Our lord and saviour Dartrix is the first pokemon, obviously.

I'm naming my next Clefairy Deadpool now.

Thank you for saying Arceus the correct way Jwittz

First

wait...Jwittz advertised CrunchyRoll? BETTER NERF GRENINJA! (also unsubscribe)

Bulbasaur was always my favorite starter.

"If only there was some way I could learn why it doesn't matter how you say the A-word after all."

I just realized that Arceus being introduced into Pokemon is like the opposite of what happened when evolution was introduced in real life.

My idea with help from other pokéTubers: Arceus was born into an empty universe. He created the unown as the basic building blocks, AKA, the "thousand arms". With the help of the unown, Arceus made the creation trio, palkia, dialga and giratina. Each to rule over the basic parts of the universe, space, time and antimatter/gravity. Mew was then created as the "ancestor" of all pokémon. The mew over thousands of years became fossil pokémon, depending where they lived. The fossil pokémon became extinct and the ones that survived became the modern pokémon that we all know today. Rhydon was the first documented pokémon along with lapras and clefairy. The pokédex was invented and bulbasaur was placed in as the first pokémon in the Kanto 'dex as # 001. The original 151 in Kanto became the first 151 in the national 'dex as well.

Y’all sleepin’ on my boy Venusaur… literally. Grass got effects for days.

THE INTRO OMG IM SCREAMING WHY DID NO ONE ELSE NOTICE THIS HE WAS NUMBER 1

In real life, the first Pokemon is not what appears in the Pokedex first, or what legendary Pokémon is said to have created everything. In fact, the first Pokémon ever designed in real life-the first monster written into the code of the original games-is surprisingly ordinary. It's Rhydon.

I’m from the future and today Bulbasaur is a lot more popular than he used to be.

Can we have a video on the relationship between Arceus and Unown? :3

"Plus, I can own them both with a tiny metal sphere. So where's your God now?" Savage lol

I thought that I saw in a pokedex entry that Palkia and Dialga took care of Arcues's egg,incubating it.

Is there any way I can contact you directly? I've looked at some dex entries and I found something especially creepy that I haven't heard anyone cover.

Good to see an episode about llama-god

The First Pokemon Is Technically Bulbasaur I Mean Just Look At His Pokedex Entry

Also, I just wanted to point this out to u guys. Theres a pattern to each reigon of pokedexes. The number 1 pokedex pokemon is and will always be the grass starters.

3:17 dude mew is that a wine glass. When I first saw it it looked like a wine glass

actually the first ever pokemon consept design was diglett where the creator of pokemon drew it in a middle school sketch

Because of the information you get from Pokemon the Movie #12, I think that Arceus was the first Pokemn in the Universe. And then, when it created the world, the first Pokemon made by Arceus was Mew. And based on Mew's DNA, Arceus created all the ohter Pokemon (exept from Mew-two ;D)

Arceus created the pokemons that gave the world it's shape I believe Mew is the one where other pokemons originated except legendaries
