Pokémon Games - Evolution of Intros Opening (1996 - 2023)

Hi! I hope you will appreciate this one! After my next video I might make a new very important announcement.

the openings weren’t in 60fps. the first 2 gens were in 30fps, while gens 3, 4, and 5 are also in 30. Gen 7 is where the series went 60fps, and then we downgraded with sw/sh at 30

Sad to see how they rushed the intros on the Switch versions 😢. From gen 1 to 5, the pixel animations were so good and we could even see some legendaries. + the music so rythmic and thrilling! In gen 6 - 7, we got some very nice intros and good music. But with gen 8 and 9, short intros with nothing so thrilling… you just want to “press A”…

[@hehefuni1356]

Bw and bw2 are the best on the ds

[@oclone120]

Fun fact, the reason BW2’s title theme sounds much higher quality than BW’s is because it’s one of the rare instances of a DS game using streamed audio instead of sequenced. Which is the reason why the title screen can lag so much on emulators, even though all it’s doing is panning around a low poly model.

[@noobfax4395]

Wow thats actually pretty cool. Always thought my computer was crapping out and couldnt handle a simple title screen bc it sucked (which it kinda did). That makes much more sense though.

[@JJH_98]

I started with Pearl back when i was a little boy. Its amazing to see the leap in overall quality from GameBoy to DS. And this intro was just mythical. Those sounds while these little stars fall to the ground. And the outline of either Palkia or Dialga in the main menu. It was really good. I also played Emerald and those Spin Offs Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Ranger and i gotta say DS really was peak.

[@GeorgeofEld]

I'll always find hilarious how dramatic and Shakespearian the intro of Black and White was, it had no business going that hard.

[@mcreena]

Dude I had NO IDEA Legends Arceus had a theme song in the intro! I always assumed it was just the background ambiance with a static screen, so I clicked through immediately every time. I have never heard the flute intro before!

Pokémon Platinum’s into always made me so invested, yet I always feared Giratina because of it. Those two dotted red eyes and that smile, jeez it made me tremble in bed just looking at it. (I mean PLA made up for that fear a bit with that 2nd phase of the battle) I think the glow is what made it more terrifying BW intro was just nerve wrecking. Waiting and waiting, as N got crowned. Everyone just standing there, and the music made it more tense.
