First
1 view interesting also yeahhh pokemon!
I choose life.
How amazing is that, hearing Jessica talking about Pokemon!:D never new this channel also covers pokemon news…till now i was just here for marvel;D
PIKACHUUUUU!!!!!
Mewtwo! Oh yeah!!!
A Battle Royale through the ages has come.. Let’s become the very best that no one ever was..
Wait…. He assembled all the villains? That means…. Oh, fuck… Cyrus is back.
They’re actually from an alternate dimension where they all accomplished their goals and beat the protagonist. That’s why Giovanni has Mewtwo
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Pokemon. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical gamer’s head.
and thus Nintendo is having a good year
If Cyrus is back, we’re all in trouble. He’s literally PokeHitler who tried to mind control the Gods.
Ooo! I hope I get to use strength on a truck to get mew.
It’s true that Nintendo has been using a lot of nostalgia recently, but I think that’s okay since Nintendo has also been creating some fantastic original stuff like Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon, and Arms.
it’s pikachu!!!!!!
Meanwhile nobody is talking about GameFreak using the classic RSE designs for Archie and Maxie, whilst also showing Mega Evolution (which was not present in those games) basically confirming the Pokémon Multiverse theory. Anyone? Please?
Again…JUST HERE FOR JESSICA! <3
#hyped
30TH RIP…
Oh god no, I already feel the hyper potion trolling coming on again
Isn’t Lysandre dead
Maybe they are losing their minds because they were 8/10 of the way there already.??
But… Giovanni died.
Honestly think this is just Pokemon company’s way of ending the Pokemon series on the 3DS, going out with a bang
Not that it was part of the story or anything, but the player could challenge him (and other champions) in Black 2/White 2. Also the whole HeartGold/SoulSilver epilogue to the Gen 1 story.
0:28 Whoa Whoa Whoa! Hold that comment cause he HAS! Sure, it was a special event in Heart Gold and Soul Silvet that you had to do by getting a shiny event pichu, getting the even rarer spikey-eyed pichu and than getting the Celebi in the forest. But still! Giovanni is the a post game event where you learn your rival is his son. That is full Canon, even in the Adventures manga.
Pretty stupid scientists if they didn’t build a safety system to stop mewtwo and he got loose. Dumb asses.
I’m a Pokemon fan and I couldn’t care less
I’m pretty sure in the trailer the whole 20 years of villains is in a stand alone event like the battle tree was in sun and moon. They have no association with Giovannis story in this.
That is either quite the poker face or she really couldn’t care less about this news.
He brought versions of villain teams from different dimensions, world’s where they actually accomplished their goals (that’s what it read at least in the Japanese trailer) so excited for the new games
What! that means Jessica is also a Super Secret Villain, too. This must be discuss on the Dan Cave with Dan Casey real soon .
OF F*CKING COURSE YOU HAVE TO CATCH THEM ALL
I think that they are ending the Pokemon latest timeline with the timeline of Red/Blue. There are 2 cannon timelines that I know of in the games. Since the new Pokemon game that will be for the Switch, I hypothesize the new game will have a different battle engine all together and would be incompatible with the previous versions. So.. let the fans what they want I guess
Giovanni isn’t the big news, it’s the entire evil team. Giovanni is probably the least successful and ambitious villain in Pokemon, you defeat him and he just becomes a gym leader. The other guys all tried to destroy the world or the universe itself.
Team rainbow rocket? Is this stranger things?
I want to see what happened to professor oak, he was in every game and then suddenly after gen 4 he is never seen again, did oak diiiee???!! :0
Giovanni, fk ya!
OMG SUCH NESTALGA ??????
Awesome video
Wait are they actually releasing a pokemon game where you can actually CATCH them all?! none of this trading rubbish? My god has that ever actually happened?
I hope with each villain comes their lieutenants/second in commands, especially Team Galactic, those guys were cool.
Now I gotta get a new DS!
…it’s Uncle Ben
team rainbow rocket… sounds pretty gay if you ask me ehehehehe >:D
We are so boned lol
that hair is fantastic!
I wish I could say I was excited but sun and moon didn’t bring the same level of enjoyment as the other games have. I’m 25, been playing the game since it came to America. now I think it may be time to stop. we’ll see what the future brings.
Dam it I just sold my new3dsxl to buy a switch 2 weeks ago …now they drop this bomb on me…man if only I had a cheep affordable option …wait there’s new2dsxl. ..Nintendo you sly cat I see what yall did there …now take my money!
I would ratata this woman with my weedle !
no jessie n james?
These are what Sun and Moon should’ve been. Those were way too barebones.
I hope “your rival” makes an appearance and sucks ass the whole fucking game, offering meager educational challenges throughout the way.
I should have tried her
oh Sh*t Cyrus is Back from hell
Oh shit! Miley Cyrus is back?!! Shit is going to get wrecked…with a ball.
i literally only pre-order the game because they announced team rainbow rocket
nintendo is assembling the avengers
I’m so excited for these games, that trailer is everything. He assembled all the villains under Team Rocket.
I was going to see Thor! …then my van decided to cost me $1800 to repair, and that’s not even with the snow tires I have to buy.
“Baddest and rarest” *Is probably the most common legendary within all the games*
OMG I LOVE GEE-OH-VANNI
Sweet, and I’m British I already watched Thor like a week ago
Oh god, don’t use old stale memes, that a vine a meme as well. *facepalm*
Me – FINALLY ALL POKEMON CAUGHT
USUM – Hold my beer
One question, will Geninja have the Ash/Geninja evolution?
Barely anything about every legendary Pokémon in the game?
I saw the original movie in theatres too, Jessica. I’m fucking old.
The first Pokemon movie was so legit.
I just watched Thor Ragnarok 🙂 Im also a huge fan of Pokemon. Already pre-ordered Pokemon Ultra Moon.
I haven’t beaten Sun and moon… Instead I keep replaying Soul Silver
This actually sounds so promising!
i still think that rereleasing a game a year after it’s original release is kind of cashgrabby
not that it will stop me to buy it…but still
Couldn’t care less. Pokemon got to me in college and I was too old to care by then.
Cool video!
Also saw it in theaters. I was fuckin blown away
its not pronounced pokeymon -_-
The question is, can you complete your national pokedex with just ultra sun and ultra moon?
I’d bang Jessica.
Them adding all the legendary pokemon has more to do with VGC and giving newcomers a chance to get them than nostalgia.
I must think about the reboot theory series of Lockstein/Gnoggin… idk why
I already have Pokemon moon…. I’m so torn
I want N ?
1:42 GameFreak not Nintendo
Not quite sure why people are acting like bringing back all legendaries is something new when ORAS did that first.
Because they’re fucking retarded and they don’t understand what a post game is
Hype!!!
Wonderful video!
Team rocket want to steal all trainers pokemons to stop trainers from abusing pokemons in useless battles for their own amusement, Team Rocket are the real heros
Ok Nerdist can Ben
10 scan any alien dna sample including dc alien super heros marvel super heroes and any anime alien super heroes and how does the omnitrix get the dna without touching that alien
i just cant believe she is at all a nerd.
Well it’s because every thing with Ultra on it is going to be awesome!
Excited voice, dead eyes. Another woman paid to be a nerd lmao.
Half of these villains stopped being villains thoooo
Yeah it kinda doesen’t make any sence to be honest. Archie and Maxie renounced their evil ways to help the region, Cyrus is trapped forever in the distortion world. Ghetsis had a mental breakdown and was pretty much a vegetable after black and white 2 and Lysandre is straight up dead after being burried alive…Then again the alternate time line stuff that they are now doing with the games means that pretty much anything and everything is possible.
His name is pronounced like “Joe-vanni” not “G-O-Vanni” because it’s an italian name.
Hold up! DIDN’T GIOVANNI JUMP OFF A WATERFALL AND KILL HIMSELF OR SOMETHING???
ash ketchum is in stranger things
I preordered UM, but with this….dang. I may need to grab US too.
Lol the most bored Jessica has ever read an episode of nerdist news
i dont play pokemon
Cyrus is a god at this point
hey just took all the games smashed them into sun and moon and added some
I have to choose between sonic forces and pokemon ultra sun to get on tuesday
So does this mean this will be the longest game yet?
Lol, get ready for the biggest rant about Pokemon V. Digimon, and I don’t care about the hate I may get. Read at your own risk (is that a thing?): TOO LATE POKEMON, I SWITCHED TO DIGIMON. POKEMON IS TRYING SO HARD TO COMPETE WITH HACKER’S MEMORY, BUT THEY HAVE TO CHANGE UP THE FORMULA. It’s the same game over and over and over. Digimon at least can have different variations and still give them different abilities. Don’t buy Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, you will only be disappointed. Pokemon added those old villains into the game to try to get hype again. Remember Sun and Moon, that thing’s hype died within the first year of its release. You know why? Hackers… They corrupted the game and I’m sure the same will happen to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. With Digimon, you don’t have to worry about hackers. Heck, they are releasing a game later this year about a hacker in Digimon. So, if anyone reading this gets upset, IDC. Pokemon is dying, and Digimon is making a vaccine for what is killing Pokemon. The vaccine is the simple idea of: GIVE YOUR FANS WHAT THEY WANT! By the way, Look up Solgaleo and look up Saberleomon. Stare at both of them side to side, who do you think was made first? Then search up who was made first, the answer may shock you. Digimon is more original than Pokemon. Digimon reached 1000 monsters within their first season, while Pokemon hasn’t even reached 1000 monsters up to the time of this video. Sure there is parallels between them, but IT GOES BOTH WAYS. You can’t just say: “Digimon is trash because it copies Pokemon.” Digimon creates new digimon, at least 100 new ones, in each game that is released, always changing. Pokemon has at least 4 games so far that are revamps of their originals. The only reason why Digimon is “not better than Pokemon” is because of the fan-base. Pokemon’s fan-base is, I know I’m generalizing, loud, easily upset, analytical, young, and/or hackers. But there are some who actually enjoy the game for what it is, a turn based action game. Digimon’s fan-base is rarely spoken of because many have flocked to Pokemon since it’s easier. Digimon gets more complicated with each game, so it is not for the faint hearted (heh, Pokemon faint, parallels). Anyways, sure there is evolution within both Pokemon and Digimon, but Digimon evolution is like a tree, it can be one Digimon that can digivolve into at least 2 different Digimon, you can only say that about the gender variant Pokemon. Pokemon is only more loved than Digimon because Digimon was taken off the air and does not focus on its anime or manga as much as Pokemon, but focuses on its games more and adapts the anime to it. Pokemon does this, but the anime has the characters in the game involved in it rather than having two different “universes”. Pokemon appeals to a younger audience than Digimon because of what the Pokemon anime stands for, being a child trying to make it big in the Pokemon League. But at least the characters aged in Digimon and you saw them grow up. Ash just changes region. Digimon, believe it or not, is for everyone and cannot be simply categorized by age, since it seems like it can be catered to teens due to its themes, like growing up makes you powerful, but they have games that are playful and childish in terms of content. Anyone can play either Digimon or Pokemon at any age, but it is easy to see what is catered to what age group. All I am trying to say is: *Digimon is for experts, Pokemon is for beginners.* (I’m not even gonna argue with anyone about this, I’m sure people will argue in the replies to this.?????? Like my comment if u agree, if you read the whole thing, that is.?)
Eh, the return of the villains is cool.
Now the possibility of being able to shiny hunt all the legendaries, for me.
*YYYEESSSS. YYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!*
I’m returning to Pokemon yes! FYI my name is also Giovanni
I’d rather just have a RGBY remake.
Pokemon MOANA with its “rival” and dead eyed protagonist doesn’t make me think Ultra will be any better. But it would be funny to see Giovanni try to intimate your character while your character just gives a dead eyed smile.
Thor Ragnarok? Nah already saw it. Europe ftw ayyee
I though Giovanni turned good after fire red
What would happen if you left a lightsaber on forever. This is an idea for because science
In one of the Japanese trailers it says that all of the evil team leader are from different universes. Universes where they were successful in whatever’s they were trying to accomplish.
any one else forget about silver or is it just me?
From Pokemon gold and silver, the main antagonist?
i was hoping you were talking about yourself could you believe that?
… Legion of Doom?
I saw the movie in theaters too 🙂 i was like 7
” It’s Pikachue !” it’s Clifairy! “Fuck!!!!” ROFL
Just do a full 3D remaster of Blue/Red for Switch and allow people to trade over the inter-webs
WHY GIOVANNI MEED PIKACHU BUT HE HAVE A MEWTWO
I remember people going to skip this & I’m like ready for some crazy surprise!
Question: Why aren’t all the villains from previous games in jail?
Cyrus is best villain followed by Lysandre.
