Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy this little compilation episode of the PokéNational Shorts. I plan on doing this every couple months or so as I keep making these so get ready for more! Now I just need to decide which Pokémon I do next!

[@blainesteeves-dj9en]

You had some solid first picks! Keep up the good work!

[@childeofepickness]

do you take requests?? because I would love a trubbish animation :)

[@blainesteeves-dj9en]

@childeofepickness3738 trubbish would be pretty sick with his weird lil arms. Both forms of wooper would probably be a smash hit

[@childeofepickness]

[@oliverlovessleep1461]

the narrator did not have to go that hard on Magikarp 💀

[@Suzuki_Hiakura]

My favorite thing to do after reaching the elite 4 would be to get a magikarp to level 100, teach it tackle (depending on the game, or was splash and use struggle) to annihilate the elite 4. Cannot imagine a more embarrassing thing, to be the best of the best in the region, and to be beaten by one of the weakest pokemon lmao

I’ve been hoping Pokémon would have done it by now but still no

The way Mimikyu moves under the cloth was really well done, it really captured the concept of how what we see on the outside is a facade

[@EliousEntertainment]

Thank you

[@apenasosky2521]

Yeah,for some reason i also really liked that his cover is somewhat transparent so you can almost see the form of his real appeareance inside the cloth without actually seeing anything

[@DeliciousJames]

I like to imagine the people in this universe watching a youtube series called "National Geographic" about giraffes, cheetahs, and pigeons and thinking "Woah these creatures are MESSED UP" Really though, this was absolutely fantastic!

​@Ditto.007 ahh the dolphin copy pasta

[@DiceRobo]

It's kind of bonkers once you realize that every piece of pokemon media could actually exist in that universe. It's not crazy in our world to have games like petz or nintendogs, we have boardgames that simulate battles, I'm sure no one would find a movie about a dog being a detective that abnormal.

[@juanfraoriginal]

they're gonna see a platypus and go wild

[@umbroeon1673]

This is absolutely the best piece of fan made Pokemon content ever, I need an hour long documentary

[@EliousEntertainment]

[@bewareebear]

I truly appreciate you maintaining the tone of Magikarp's Pokedex entries for this video. I always thought it was hilarious how mean they were

[@EliousEntertainment]

Thank you for knowing I wasn’t just roasting magikarp and that the Pokédex does it too😅

It's all fun and games until that Magikarp evolves into Gyarados and destroys a few underdeveloped coastal villages.

[@katanakid13]

Awesome work! Felt like a real NatGeo production! I bet Magikarp are weaker now from ancient Trainers/Breeders inbreeding them en masse to get a shiny as quickly as possible. All non-shines were released and now they've degenerated.

[@ryanwinslade9026]

I am extremely impressed by the Baltoy section in particular. The renders were believably textured and the use of heat distortion was outstanding. I think some of your renders looked more realistic than some of the Pokémon in Detective Pikachu. Sounded like Eleven Labs was used for the voice (good choice).

[@OlyChickenGuy]

The textures and colouration of the pokémon in these shorts are AMAZING, and so much so that I spent several minutes just on the beginning of this episode enjoying the detail put into not only the pokémon, but their interactions with each other and their environment as well. Such an example, so much as I feel like Magnemite could be less textured (metal can be pretty amazingly smooth, and these are magical creatures we're talking about, at base), its metallic iris was a gorgeous addition. And my God, that Phantump's iris edge as seen by 3/4 view!

[@R3AP3R.]

Damn you didn't have to keep violating magikarp like that 💀😭😂
