The Good Kind of Pokémon Spoiler - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

[@fabiofabiobio]

Kyle, you can go ahead and give up your futile quest for Sakurai-style efficiency. We're here for your inane long-winded ramblings and, of course, those delicious bonus bits baybeeeee

[@TheRedWisdom]

Just wanted to add that some of the graphics Sakurai is using comes from a free image bank called irasutoya. You too can have his slick graphics :)

[@doom-generation4109]

Sitting through the credits after a movie is your decompression time before you go back out into the real world. I've never understood the people who just leave immediately. Great to know that Kyle gets it.

[@mrshmuga9]

It’s dads that want to “beat the traffic” even if there is no traffic and the parking lot is basically empty. Like leaving the house is always an obligation, and the faster you can rush home (for no reason in particular) the better.

[@directionaljoy]

A decompression, absolutely. 👍 I like to drag the experience out. I’ll go to a restaurant or truck stop diner after the movie and discuss it over a meal (or read a book while eating, if solo).

[@MysteriousMrL]

​@@mrshmuga9 Yeah, the "beat traffic" explanation never made sense to me. Even with post-credits scenes becoming a common thing there are still fewer people staying to the end than leaving when the credits start, so the crowd tends to clear out if you wait. In my experience anyway. Oh, but what actually annoys me are the people who start shuffling towards the door when they've decided the movie feels like it's about to end.

[@doom-generation4109]

[@j_ason_rpg]

I thought about Nier Automata's end credits as a good example where the game respects the people who worked on the game while also giving the player something to do. More than that, the credits sequence is also technically part of the story.

[@brentclouse7791]

Was totally thinking the same thing. Can't say I read a single name during it, but it sure was memorable.

[@hiraethgamer2819]

Easily the most creative and memorable credits in my book. Absolutely stellar.

[@undecidedmajor1664]

The Vanquish credits have you shoot at pictures of the developers with their name and role appearing after you destroy them.

[@gligarguy4010]

Bayonetta does this well too

[@Starpotion]

The Melee one will always be my favorite, but I'd love to know if there are more examples besides the typical shooting gallery credits.

[@SLFKimosabae]

A Delayed Input featuring Masahiro Sakurai... talks about End Credits in Video Games... mentions interactivity....somehow misses the GOAT EC screen created by aforementioned developer... Super Smash Bros. Melee is RIGHT THERE!

[@thedapperdolphin1590]

Ultimate’s credits are really good too.

[@FolstrimHori]

NiER Automata has a significantly superior credits screen for narrative reasons.

[@JohnGuyJohn]

I was thinking that Melee's credits encourages you to focus on names since you're inevitably reading as you take aim at each one.

[@lukemoonwalker8444]

One of my favourite game credits was Splatoon (and I think Splatoon 2 did it aswell) where you had to shoot at the black screen to reveal the names of the people who worked on the game, it keeps your attention on the names while making it interactive.

[@Edgemaster72]

First one I thought of, great implementation of a credits screen

[@WiredBand39]

I agree, this is always the first one I think of. Nintendo in recent years has really done well with interactive credits. New Horizons implemented them in a smart place. And Nier: Automata is special for a narrative reason

[@Tunabringer]

Every time Kyle brings up Bustafellows, I wonder where that Bosman bit is originally from. Eventually I look it up and realize it's real. Five minutes later, Bustafellows has breached containment from the Real Things sector of my brain, and the cycle repeats. Well, time's almost up. So long, Bustafellows the real actual video game. Maybe I'll remember you again if Kyle informs us of a Season 3.

[@Alextreme_713]

Speaking of Sakurai and credits, the credits in Smash Bros. games are some of the best!

I missed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at the cinema. I finally got to watch it at a friend's house, and when it ended (and I'm talking the very second the credits started to roll...) he turned the TV off. I've never gotten over it. It made the whole thing feel total unceremonious, destroyed all sense of closure ...it just blinked out of existence. So, yeah, I agree: credits are important.

[@neojd]

As Bradley Ellis often says “Sakurai is a gem.” That new Pokémon doesn’t even look like a Pokémon to me. Something about it’s design is off-putting. My favorite credits are the ones where the team members actually get to write their own thank you notes. The most recent example of this for me was Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Sure, it makes the credits longer but it gives the actual devs a voice, even if just for a few seconds. ❤️

[@TalesOfNerdiaChris]

Kind of appropriate that the pokemon is off-putting since it is based off the aye aye, one of the ugliest real creatures mother nature has birthed. Zefrank has a great vid on it.

[@godribbon]

I love credits, and something I don't like about Spotify but do like about vinyl, cassettes and to a lesser extent CDs, is the sound you hear when the album finishes. The needle resetting, the play button popping back up, or the laser resetting.

[@FrothingFanboy]

I always stay for the entire credits when I see a movie in the theater. It's part "getting my money's worth", part "how many hundreds of people did the CGI for this one?", part "what were the filming locations?", part respecting the people who worked on it, and part "maybe something cute happens after the credits". Shaun The Sheep Movie is a great example of the latter.

[@MonsterMJ]

love it to come here every week to see this amazing show

[@ztyphoon8982]

Our family stays until those big studio logos appear at the very end of the credits.

[@Totavier]

Good episode!, regarding to the credits talk, It's nice to see someone who also likes to watch the credits to the end, yeah I also like to watch until the end, mostly if has a good speed, good size in the letters and a good song along with Also, maybe it's sounds stupid but sometimes I play a little game that I made up by watching the credits which is how many times I find someone that shares either my first name or second last name, funnily enough with my first name: various times (but not commonly), meanwhile with my second last name: never (lol!), not even one single time, looks like my last name is not very common (but I know someday I will find one).

[@Bulldozer4000]

I love it whenever they approach Pokemon as actual animals and showcase them as such. I thought that 24 hour wildlife cam they did for Sword/Shield was genius and I always wished they did more cool stuff like that

[@Starpotion]

The thing they're doing right now for Pokemon GO with the Ultra Beasts is also pretty cool, treating their appearances like found footage, some of them are pretty elaborate

[@TheObidicut]

[@darrenmacqueen9884]

Speaking of long credits, Spider-man PS4's credits are over half an hour long. Longest credits I've ever seen. It's unbelievable. And if you play all the DLC, it plays 4 times!

[@UberOcelot]

"the first ever 5 minute delayed input..." **pauses video** ... oh no

[@iamlafter]

I don’t know if a developing studio has already done it but incorporating a “making of” into the credits would increase the likeliness of people remembering and cherishing the work and also educates people which roles have what responsibilities. While, yes, it would increase the length of the credits but you could also split the “making of” credits into different parts so the player can either enjoy them while finishing the game multiple times or watch the whole thing after their first clear (because then they unlocked it). At least that would be very interesting from my POV but it’s difficult to say if this would give people enough of an incentive to engage with the credits.

[@yoshimasterleader]

I don't know about like a whole mini doc going on the side. but to just have BTS footage going on on the side would be interesting. Out of the things games take from the movie industry I'm surprised a majority of games don't have bonus features in terms of Behind the Scenes stuff. I only recall specific games like some Valve games having audio commentary or a BTS easter egg in Jackie Chan Stuntmaster and collections. Otherwise it would be outside the game itself like Magazines, Demo Disks and collectors items. Recently it would be "making of" docs made by fans or the studio themselves uploaded to KZbin.

[@tmoczygemba]

Hey Kyle I have a suggestion on how you can improve this video. Cut everything before the bonus bit.

Is good that thanks t Kyle implementing the Sakurai efficiency on this episode, the bonus bit was longer than usual.

I loved Smash Bros Ultimate's credits. And I'm always scared to skip credits. What if there's a post-credit scene?

[@thedapperdolphin1590]

No mention of Smash Bros credits in the same episode you talked about Sakurai? They were always fun mini games. I liked shooting the names and trying to get a high score. I almost never skipped the Melee credits as a kid because I tried to shoot all the names.

[@vodkagobalsky]

Super Monkey Ball credits one of the best credit sequences.

[@TalesOfNerdiaChris]

That pokemon is based on the aye aye, not a lemur. The aye aye has a freakishly long middle finger that it taps on trees to detect insects in trees. Digs a hole in said tree with its beaver-like teeth, then fishes out bugs with its witch finger. It's a hideous looking creature but I kinda love it.

[@thedapperdolphin1590]

I’m that guy who leave as soon as the credits start. I also hate post credit scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting through credits for what’s probably going to be a dumb scene. It’s just anxiety inducing. The cleaning guy is waiting at the entrance, and he’s clearly ready for everyone to get the hell out.

Delayed input is plenty brief for my taste, always leaves me wanting next weeks episode regardless.

[@superbro6413]

LittleBigPlanet 2 had an acheivement you get if you sit through and watch the whole credits, and dont skip. While it can incentivise players to not skip the credit sequence, if you just have to sit there, it kinda feels like homework.

[@MildManneredBen]

It’s not quite the same, but a really cool credit thing was Diablo 3 having a dungeon where all the monsters had staffs’ names, so you’d see everyone who made the game by fighting through the dungeon and the boss at the end was the lead designer.

[@swisspunker94]

the best credits are in the smash bros series. You shoot the names, it gives you something to do and you actually end up reading the names that you are shooting!

I can never delete a game right after finishing it. Feels too disrespectful. "We had a good time but now I'm done with you, into the trash you go." I always feel like it deserves to sit there for a week or two.

[@tomato3456]

You do raise a good point about the Fortnite credits, honestly. A thought just occurred to me that maybe multiplayer games like that which don't have traditional game ends could slot their credits into something like the loading screen before a match. Not all of the credits, obviously - just like three names chosen at random, with their job title. Could be a neat little way to give these devs some attention, since they'd be shown at a time when the players typically wouldn't be doing anything else anyway.

Woah Kyle. You can't talk about Best Game Credits Scenes without mentioning Super Smash Bros Melee!! The mechanic of flying through space blowing up names of creators was so far out of left field that it single handedly convinced me that I'd probably enjoy a Starfox game 😂 It had nothing to do with the SSB mechanics and even included a score counter making it oddly replayable.

[@FelixWalton]

I feel like credits don't exist for the audience, they're more of a record so the people involved (or people hiring the people involved) have a firm record of their role. As a player I'm only really gonna take note of the voice actors and directors, not because I don't respect about the others' work but because credits are essentially just long lists of names and my brain can only hold so much information. They exist for the IMDBs and Wikipedias of the world, ya know? Like you said, I take the credits as a period of reflection - to take in the music and think about what I just experienced.

[@Our1Path]
