@M Johnson I disagree with you. There are many pokemon that refuse to evolve like bulbasaur and squirtle that does not mean they are worthless and weak, they are still very strong as shown in their battles. Pokemon battles in anime is not the same as pokemon battle in games pokemon that are not evolve are strong if they are train well. One example, ash bulbasaur can tie with a meganiun.

[@AlwaysTuesday]

Gary being a companion for a bit of johto arc would've been HILARIOUS. I can only imagine him being like "damn bitch you live like this?" the whole time because of the amount of shit Ash gets into constantly. Gary gets through his journeys straightforward while Ash does every sidequest, even without Team Rocket he'd still continuously get sidetracked with terrible luck to boot. How would it be if Gary was dragged into all the messes Ash gets into? Now THAT would've made for some fun episodes, makes me wish it happened.

Yeah, a lot of things change, especially the characters and Ash's team composition.

Unova is even funnier, since three of his Pokemon are connected to the Here comes the Trubbish Squad episode, which doesn't happen either with Ash being on time, meaning Sandile will never meet Ash, he never will get the Scraggy egg, meaning Scraggy won't get poisoned and as such he never get Palpitoad. Pignite and Snivy won't be a thing either. His set encounters are Unfezant, Oshawott and Leavanny. In Kalos, he misses out on Greninja, since the Garchomp events in Lumiose City never happen, nor is Clement vs Ash a thing, nor Team Rocket interupting their match. And in Alola, Incineroar, Melmetal and Naganadel won't be a thing.

[@VoltLuke1]

well ash wont meet up with may because ash only did because team rocket attempted to catch pikachu first episode of advance battle which lead to ash running into may and pikachu destroying her bike so thats a shame but in sinnoh ash might still meet up with dawn since he will be able to go to Prof rowan directly since team rocket shouldnt get in his way causing ash and pikachu to split up. But this might lead to ash not catching best bird starly since he only caught it to help track team rocket but he could still catch another starly instead hopefully but if ash doesnt meet up with dawn he is catching buisel with out having to trade for it leading him to get his own ambipom

Something bothers me about that "Ash focuses on one or two Pokemon" thing. He didn't. You had him switch his Pokemon out a lot and let them grow a bit more but they were stomped out by Harrison. In the original, Ash did MUCH better against him. Was that because he had too many Pokemon? If Ash got beat by Harrison despite having all these Pokemon to use, it seems weird to have him be stomped by him in this one.

[@Genra]

His failure against Harrison is in large part due to his battle against Gary. The reason why Ash performed so much worse against Gary is because the power levels of his team just aren't as evenly distributed. Ash in the original had, as powerhouses, Charizard, Heracross, Snorlax and sorta Muk. Comparatively, he only could rely on Blastoise and Charizard, since Stanler was in all of *one* battle, and Primeape was about as effective as Tauros in the original. As well, Bayleaf and Noctowl were about as strong as their originals (which is pretty average). Unown is trying to say that because Ash didn't have as many powerhouses, this forced Ash into overreliance on Blastoise mainly, causing an eventual over-exhaustion. Due to the extra power original Ash had, Charizard was not as tired out, and Ash even still had Pikachu in reserve. Also as a side note, Gary in this is just, a stronger trainer in general, meaning he's also more difficult for Ash to overcome. As another note, Ash's Muk is about as strong as the original, it's just bad luck that it had to go against a steel type lol.

[@joshkyei3105]

@@Genra I don't really understand the fact that Blastoise Charizard and Stanler being to tired to battle the Harrison because there was about a whole day of rest between the battles and un the original Snorlax fought against 3 Pokemon and same with Charizard and they both were in the battle against Harrison.

Well, the world would turn into literal ash, that is if Mewtwo doesnt destroy it first in the first movie. Now if Molly survived she would likely trigger a Unown Apocalypse in movie 3 leading to Arceus waking up and rebooting the universe. Best case scenario: Arceus gives the world a second chance by changing the event that caused everything to go downhill - Ash waking up in time. But more likely he wouldnt since he would still be very angry with humanity's betrayal and would simply create a world without humans. It would be worse if none of those scenarios took place tho. In movie 4 Iron Mask would successfully capture Celebi and overthrow Giovanni with him, enslaving the world with a dark pokemon army...then in the Jirachi movie the artificial Groudon would grow powerful enough to devour all life on the planet and keep every living being trapped in eternal torment as part of his biomass. And if we ignore the movies: -Team Magma and Aqua might destroy the world during Ash's adventure on Hoenn or Team Galactic would wipe out the entire universe with Dialga and Palkia. If none of that happened by the new Ash somehow still getting in the way of all those plans we could still say for sure that Ghetsis's plan of brainwashing Reshiram alongside all other pokemon would certainly have worked without Ash & Pikachu's bond, leading to a world enslaved by him.

[@alphabladelm2011]

I wish I could’ve watched this sooner but work doesn’t give me long breaks or free WiFi. That said, I’m over the moon to see this series continue. It was a really bittersweet take on Ash’s journey since we never get to see Snorlax, Lapras, Phanpy, or even Larvitar. And Tracy too, I guess... Not to mention Pryce still remains a bitter and lonely old man without Piloswine. Plus, Ash’s loss in the League was definitely worse than canon since Charizard was out of commission. On the other hand, the Ash vs. Gary match was probably better than the original. Same with Clair’s Gym Battles. I never thought a Stantler could be such an impressive Pokémon. And I never would have guessed Misty would enter the Johto League. That’s a big step up for her. I guess traveling by herself made Misty a stronger trainer. I’m eagerly awaiting the Hoenn section of this spectacular series. But if I could make a couple suggestions for later: 1. I’d like to see Ash give Blastoise a couple different moves that aren’t pure power attacks like Rain Dance or Rapid Spin. 2. When Ash reaches the Battle Frontier (at least I hope he makes it there), make sure Ash doesn’t release the Pokelantis king spirit. That was a moment of monumental stupidity on his part and I’d like to think Ash can be better than that (though that sets the bar very low). Once again, thank you so much for continuing this project.

For the Johto League: -Ash makes it to the finals, loses to Harrison or Gary. -He additionally catchs Hoothoot (the one that was rude to him), Houndour (Hour Of The Houndour), Larvitar (he stays with Ash instead), Lapras, Celebi (GS Ball), Latias (Pokémon Heroes) and Snorlax as well. -Tracey (who catches the original Lapras) appear in the episode “Gotta Catch You Later”, as Ash’s new companion in the Hoenn region (along with Misty). They met as Professor Oak’s newest top student and assistant during Ash and Gary’s journey in Johto.

Far better than the last one! Segments not possible in this timeline were used as great inspiration/justification for the new path! Keep it up?

[@CyanicCore]

Also, really impressive writing!

[@ThePipofDespair]

"When the Violet gym leader sends out his Hoothoot, Gary follows suit-suit." I'm not even five minutes into the video, and I'm already laughing my ass off at something that isn't even funny.

[@jag-hw7wd]

Yo I've been waiting for this to drop forevvvveeer! I can't wait for Hoenn

[@herpdiederper]

Please do Hoenn too! Love this series!

[@azv4197]

This was a great turn of events. Never thought ash would use a stantler. I hope you continue with this with hoenn I like to see if ash would catch different pokemon and see how he would do in the League

[@seen270]

This is a really good series

[@johnnsong5078]

Oh man, I just found these today and throughly enjoyed it. I always did wonder what would happen if Ash woke up and had better common sense. Can't wait for hoen and sinoh region

[@eastboundbird]

I mean overall I would say waking up early hasn't benefited ash at all. Sure he gets a blastoise instead of pikachu, but at what cost? he never gets his snorelax, he never gets his donphan, he never becomes close friends with misty, he doesn't meet like half of his friends. he never wins at the orange island. the only thing he gains from this adventure is a stantler. I'd say overall ash made the right decision to sleep in. Not saying this is bad video at all. it's honestly really well made and besides some small changes I pretty much agree with everything stated in the video. that being said ash is the perfect example of why it's a good thing to get some extra sleep sometimes

[@darthvader406]

well he gets an obediant charizard keeps his primeape gets quilave way early then when it happens in sinnho and he never have to deal with team rocket like ever

[@eastboundbird]

@@darthvader406 ash got an obedient charizard faster in the classic anime than in this. He had to deal with just a charmeleon in this. Also quilava evolves early sure, but he would only use him in one battle before replacing him immediately in hoenn then never using him until sinnoh anyways. You are right though ash would get to keep primape which would be pretty cool. Also something I forgot about is ash would still have pidgeyotto which would also be pretty nice.

[@darthvader406]

@@eastboundbird true hence he never had to deal with a Charizard that would not listen to him do to evolving to fast

[@kartiksaraf4676]

His shoulders thank him for waking up late, poor kid would be crushed carrying a blastoise on his shoulders all the time :)

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@darthvader406considering he won't have to deal with Team Rocket, he loses out on Staraptor and Greninja, and considering May and Max aren't a thing, bye bye Swellow and Sceptile (Groyvle won't evolve), no contests means byebye Aipom. In Sinnoh, no Dawn means no Buizel and no Paul means no Infernape. Goomy won't evolve either, because no Team Rocket.

[@JitteryJackanape]

I would love to see you do the Hoenn region next as its my personal favorite! I'm curious as to all the changes you'd make or how little it would impact the series too. This is a fun idea for a series and i've enjoyed it!

[@Crysi9988]

ash and gary journeying together what world is this

[@PandoraSwag]

The shippers gonna love it

[@darkfire4206]

This is great and worth the wait so please take you time if it means we get to see more...thanks!

[@Chrono_Mitsurugi]

Glad we got to see Misty with her Gyarados.

[@paxtongerhart6863]

I hope this continues farther! The whole series seems to be changing a lot over time

[@JokerSpirit160]

I’ve missed ETU!

[@Pwdecker]

I love these What If videos! I know you put a lot of effort into them and I really appreciate it. I'm excited to see Hoenn sometime in the future.

[@PeachyDarlin]

I'd love to see more. This is enjoyable and wholesome :)

[@arlo9014]

Please keep doing these cause I want to see what happens through ash’s adventures through all of the region

[@henrysmith9185]

2:03 Garry tho 😂👌

[@yumartins2200]

Great video! However ... Theres a huge hole u didnt think of Since Ash never joined Orange League, he arrives in Johto much, much earlier. Therefore a whole lot of events didn't happen in time, changing almost all Ash journey

[@Flame-mq3cp]

So...part 3 when lmao

[@GoinGreninja]

A month, at least?

[@GoinGreninja]

@@swampy725 Maybe, maybe. Unlike other whatiffers, they don't've to deal will 150 or so episodes of content and try to compress them and keep them enjoyable at the same time, so I understand.

[@anothergamer112]

@@GoinGreninja since each series has very little to nothing to do with Ash getting up on time or not (except having Pikachu) I don't see much realistically being different.

[@GoinGreninja]

@@anothergamer112 I guess...? But some parts can get drastically different with different Pokémon, movesets, story etc.

[@KingOfSciliy]

So, we have: Ash's Team Squirtle -> Wartortle -> Blastoise Pidgey -> Pidgeotto Bulbasaur Charmander -> Charmeleon -> Charizard Krabby -> Kingler Mankey -> Primeape Muk Tauros (x2) Heracross Chikorita -> Bayleaf Stantler Cyndaquil -> Quilava Noctowl (shiny) Totodile Brock's Team Onix Geodude Zubat (no mention as to whether it still evolves into Golbat and then Crobat) Psyduck Corsola

[@gabriellockwood2780]

26:22 *CURSED* This is Johto, NOT Hoenn.

[@cmett62]

Would definitely like to see it continue into Hoen and beyond. Great series!
