[@finleycartmell5223]

That part about Shudo naming the girl in the movie after his daughter because he had her at 45 and that he would be old or dead by the time she grew up made me tear up, even more so because it ultimately came true.

[@rockinghorselady]

Same here. Immediately made me cry. The movie is really beautiful and heartfelt too, which makes it so much more impactful to hear about it :'(

[@randyb.9143]

It's a weird feeling, knowing some people involved with making the franchise what it is now dealt with the things they did just to continue creating a universe millions have grown to since it's inception. As a little kid I always thought in a way more naive way about it and thought that the people behind the show and games were as happy making it as I was enjoying what they all made.

[@ionlydrinkjesusmilk7256]

It's almost poetic. Entei becomes a sort of pseudo father figure for most of the movie, because she loses her father (and had already lost her mother).

[@TheRealMapleSyrup]

I remember, before the game/movie came out, and Lugia was only teased with photo, and his name had not been released; my friends and I were convinced that its name was Aquatro. We thought it was part of Legendary Birds, but a water type...Arcticuno (UNO), Zapdos (DOS), Moltres (TRES), Aquatro (QUATRO). So Aquatro would have carried on the Spanish numbers theme.

[@eggs8021]

Smart

[@serx4994]

[@Vitz_atelier]

The fact that Lugia was not created by the Game Freak staff will never cease to amaze me. Shudo came up with a design that blends in so well with the rest of the pokémon roster at that generation that it almost feels like the devs were the ones who came up with the original design.

[@Robert-tl2vg]

Calm down.

I thought shudo only came up with the themes for Lugia and didn't have any part in the actual designing of it

[@tlst94]

What if in an alternate timeline, Shudo had been a GameFreak artist in the early-1990s? And if Lugia was Gen 1's 150th Pokemon? While Mewtwo became the 152nd Mythical? And if both Mews were obtainable after showing Oak the completed 150 Pokedex?

[@bakabaka73]

Man despite how much I watched and loved the early Pokémon anime and movies, I never even knew who the creator was. Its cool (and a little sad) to hear about his life. At least we know his legacy will carry on for the foreseeable future. Also now he got his wish of an anime reboot without Ash, it just came way later.

[@williamsussman7343]

I always thought it was so weird that Lugia was Psychic/Flying and not Water/Flying and now I know why. All to make it seem “strong” because the Psychic type was so OP back then lol

[@RRXn3oN]

I dont rly get it. That must have been wayyy before they thought of the 2 new types or even balance & mechanics in general for gen2.

It's amazing to know that even to this day many are still so invested in Pokémon and learning more about the franchise this way. There's some real interesting facts I didn't even know yet. ( And this was while listening to this one on Spotify while working! )

I intentionally try not to pay full attention to videos like these to help extend the shelf life of it, meaning when I watch it again and again, there will always be something I don't remember seeing/hearing the last time I viewed it.

I've always been a huge fan of Lugia due to XD: Gale of Darkness, so it's nice to here about its origin! Didn't expect its origin to be like this though.

[@grook1609]

Shudo's story is a very sad one, and even if I don't agree with all of his takes on the pokemon world, there are many aspects of his vision that are still intrinsic to the franchise as a whole. RIP Takeshi Shudo.

The scary stuff about drifloon seems to have been kept in Pokémon Legends Arceus with the kid that gets dragged to the beach. Actually creeped me out a bit when I turned up to get him to go home

[@Phantomdragon0]

I always love watching these pokemon facts. It's interesting how invested shudo was in Lugia and the connection he felt with his creation.

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

It's weird because I actually remember Lugia having a female voice when it was played at the cinema. And I then also always imagined Lugia being female. But then I was really surprised when many years later I got the DVD and heard a male voice for Lugia. There could be a possibility that this was only exclusively for Austrian cinema versions, that they were like, "We have this voice actress and we really want her to have a main role in the movie so we let her voice Lugia", but then for the DVD release we got the version that was played in Germany. It's a slim possibility but at least it is a possibility. Why else would I remember a female voice for such a long time until only a few years ago?

[@CaptainChedda]

In the anime I think it’s female with a baby too lol

[@shame2189]

Possibly Mandela effect since i believe it had a female voice in anime appearances

[@RPGCrash]

Mandela effect. It had a female voice in other appearences.

[@joetheseventeenth]

man shudo was a real one for looking after the people selling unlicensed merch, glad he was able to bring us all such an awesome series even if he was struggling himself.

[@MewtwoExMasterMusic]

Shudo sensei. If only you knew how much your glorious work changed mine and my friends lives. It’s not the same without your tireless effort. I miss your work dearly. And without your touch, i stopped watching Pokemon. Rest in pease sir!

Shudo's story is incredibly unique in many good and awful ways, very much an example of a "tortured genius"

[@sotnosen95]

Glad to see we're getting these for this year too! I don't usually watch the shorter, 10-minutes-ish Did You Know Gaming Videos, so these compilations are a great way for me to catch up on the videos I missed over the year.

I will never forget first learning about Shudo and his fondness for his creation: Lugia. Initially I never had strong feelings on the Pokémon despite liking its debut film. But the idea of it being a maternal entity just sticks with me a lot. And to think that this wouldn't be the last time Shudo made a parental legendary... Keep up the good work you guys. Knowledge like this is super good to provide and share.

[@larkenkuznetsov3413]

This is a fascinating video, all the way through. There's something about learning things going on behind one of my favourite childhood series that feels weird and amazing at the same time.

[@Kango234]

God, Shudo deserves to have a movie made about him. Even if they have to change the names of people and Pokemon, that would just make it easier to market. Just advertise it as "The movie The Pokemon Company doesnt want you to see". But seriously the first half of this video got me more emotional than any drama I've seen in years and the lost film is so intriguing. In a weird way, I'm kind of ok that we never got the answer to how it ended, it feels like a true legend in the pokemon world.

[@rceballos1990]

This is what I need in my life. More please.

[@aquaticchaos1717]

I forget if you already covered this, but there's a pretty interesting tidbit of trivia relating to the Pokemon Black/White final battles with N and Ghetsis. Ghetsis' Hydreigon alone has all the proper move coverage for N's entire team- legendary included.

[@mitchellhenkelman3827]

Pokemon Silver was the very first Pokemon game I ever played, in large part thanks to how cool I thought Lugia looked in the second movie. Lugia is still one of my favorite Pokemon to this day, and most of my nostalgic times of playing Pokemon came from using it in my first playthrough. Takeshi Shudo might not have liked what ultimately became of his concept for Lugia, but I hope he knew that it was still a favorite for many like myself. The thought of a different mascot legendary for Silver other than Lugia is pretty intriguing! I wish there was more info on the pokemon that Lugia ended up replacing; but maybe it's a concept that could be brought back for a future game.

[@ianrobles4298]

Pokemon Red was the first game I played in the series, so it's got a lot of nostalgia for me, but Pokemon Gold was the one I played the most when I was a kid. I don't think they perfected the formula until Gen 3 or 4, but there's just something about its simplicity.

[@_Stormfather]

It makes so much sense that my favorite bits of the Pokemon anime and my favorite movies from the series are all written by the same guy who made my favorite Pokemon

[@Kango234]

Yeah I didn't know all the details, but I did know that he stopped writing the series long ago and publicly hated the direction it took. It's why I rolled my eyes whenever any brushed off criticism of the later season as just being nostalgic or that it's a dumb show for kids so it doesn't have to be good when in reality it was being written by completely different people. That said, I am aware it got good again at some point with X/Y, but I haven't watched it so I can't comment on that.
