[@Penguindude1]

Stephen's not going to win soon because NOBODY is going to win soon. Little did they know this would be a ... BRUTAL GAME.

[@RLCLONED]

Wait wait wait "you better upload this before the new games come out" "We don't know anything about Rowlett" So uh... When was this recorded??? 2016? Wow this was in the works for a while

[@thequeensthief]

In the most recent vlog, he said it was filmed during Cheffcon 2016. It's the same time they recorded the Uno game, I think.

[@thejdsgames1552]

That's almost unacceptable. Don't wait 2 years before uploading. Should be a few months at most.

[@bc2014]

They just haven't had time to edit it with all the other content they were producing - a lot of time was needed for this due to multiple cameras, cut ins, displaying all the Pokemon on screen etc. Dan has done a great job to get this out.

[@kckaiser683]

Remember, it's only been a short while since Dan got a powerful enough computer that does not take forever to edit things. There are a lot of graphics and elements involved to make the game easy to follow for us readers.

[@klyzx350]

They had no time to edit this, and because other things were producible, they took priority over this.

[@spiritomb108]

Thank god Chaz knows the rules, when I was a kid I lost the rule sheet. I think I like what Stephen thought you had to do more, having to GET to Cinnabar first. Just being able to teleport there is kinda jank.

[@longliverocknroll5]

That's how I always played. Also why I never finished the game in the way I thought it was supposed to be done, got bored, and just tried to find my favourites haha.

[@martingriff101]

Don't forget this was a 1999 game for 7 year old so I am kinda surprised how big it is

[@dudamoos]

I've always played the way Stephen thought it worked. The rivals on Cinnabar are super OP, so having to jump there as soon as you get 20 power is just going to get you flattened.

[@TheKubliest]

I was into Rowlet before it was cool. (Obviously it was my starter. Love my secret emo bird boi.)

[@SilverLatency]

TheKubliest I loved Rowlet since it was announced

[@ShinseiWarujima]

Silver Patamon Same. Literally, as soon as I saw him, I was like "Oh, he's definitely on my team." Same with Mimikyu.

[@TheKubliest]

I ALSO thought the same thing and took Mimikyu through my game. Love that pokemon SO much. I want to dress it up.

[@wilfredsun4056]

This was recorded pre sun and moon? Who are you, The Runaway Guys?

[@teamreincarnationleadereme7572]

Wilfred Sun they are the runaway guys but not all of them are present, like chuggaconroy

[@nazeVOV]

Ouch that was harsh and none of these guys are in TRG

[@teamreincarnationleadereme7572]

Chaotix003 oops, well Stephen works with chuggaconroy as artist

[@starmangalaxy2001]

@@nazeVOV Well, now Stephen is playing Kirby with the runaway guys, so that's something.

[@selder_7]

Was not expecting this, I'm delighted and part of that is knowing the despair when we're in part 10 and no one can win because it's ridiculously hard

[@CalaCrisp88]

Part 10? This is a 4 part series

[@longliverocknroll5]

Could be worse, they could have played the "next gen" of Pokemon board games and been there for 20 hours lol.

[@shaofgreed]

What was the next one? I have this one, the hoen one, and the sinnoh one.

[@longliverocknroll5]

bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Master_Trainer_(2005)

[@shaofgreed]

oh so the next one is the hoen one

[@ryansanagustin6553]

“I hope u release this before the next Pokémon game comes out” 2 years later

[@emerald_espeon]

Ryan San Agustin Technically it was... just not the one she wanted.

[@adamrhodes9533]

I like how Hayley made a Rowlet chip, when they could have just used Eevee since it was technically a starter in Yellow. You just didn't get to choose it.

[@TheKubliest]

When I play Pokemon, I only choose grass starters. Figured I'd continue it in this game.

[@RJam56]

“We’ve added a piece from another game to play with 7 people.” Dude, I struggle just getting 2 other people to play with me.

[@Stardust_Road]

Wow! This is just like the LeafGreen lets play!

[@angelsinthewindow]

You reminded me that I had this game and have not played it in years. It's making me want to play it again after over 10 years of not touching it.

This game's design is awesome! Subscribed! Thanks for playing it!

[@datboi3452]

Stephen, you guys should play Uno online for Stephen and friends. It is on PS4, Xbox1 and pc/steam. Hope to see a video on it maybe! I know you did Uno IRL but there is a bunch more fun rules on the online version, such as jump in and draw to match. If you read this comment consider playing it! Thanks!

[@shoujanaber4329]

It’s actually also on Switch from what I remember

[@datboi3452]

FoxNGames ok

[@robguitar1231]

As a Delawarean, this series makes me happy to see Alex with Dogfish Head!

[@Ryan-xj5et]

Oof the rowlet dates this Video lmao

[@CollinDeP]

Well, it was recorded Cheffcon 2016. Dan only recently has had a computer powerful enough to edit this and time to edit this. Besides, what's the difference? This could have been recorded in 2012 for all I care with how funny this has been/ will be by the end.

[@Sybato]

Didn't Ultra Sun and Moon come out literally last year?

[@MakeHerSquirtle]

I actually have this board game at home and it was my favorite to play when I was younger!

[@Infinicat]

I love this game! I don't know if I still have it, but I brought this to school one time when I was in like 4th grade back in 2000 for an end of the year game day or something I don't recall exactly why we brought a bunch of games to school but yeah. So fun!

[@YourPalRal]

When I was younger my older cousin gave me this board game, but she lost the rule sheet, some cards, and some of the Pokémon so I never learned how to actually play. I wish I still had this board game because it looks like a lot of fun!

[@aang121z1]

Man, talk about nostalgia. I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid.

[@dudeman6703]

As someone living in Indiana I know how hard it is to be gay here. I respect you two for staying here and finding a nice place to live! EDIT: I phrased what I said pretty terribly but you get what I mean. Happy LGBT month Chaz and Jeff!

[@colleenhickey6100]

Wait Chaz and Jeff are GAY?!

[@CarMedicine]

@@colleenhickey6100 Not necessarily. They could be something else, just not both straight and heteroromantic.

[@dillonlenihan8695]

Great play through! Enjoyed the video 😀

[@13AxelRoxas]

The reason Stephen didn't play this as a kid is because he was to busy playing Hungry Hungry Hippos by himself.

[@anon2447]

the guy that kept rolling 1s was so slow that even slopokes ran away from him xD

[@kiwikipedia]

Chaz is the best Ash Ketchum

[@niall62]

Penguin Lord damn right

[@jadenmcgarry5256]

Your dumb

[@Diedeledie]

I haven't watched the video yet but someone needs to draw them all with their starter Pokémon! For some reason I feel like their starters compliment them well and it would make for an interesting piece of art.

[@mikomakowski7907]

What have you done! You unleashed the greatest evil in all the land. Pokemon master trainer.

[@jamesmoss4110]

I like this game cuz I have it The game is luck based like metronome getting a crit and high roll

[@jamesmoss4110]

@@THGMR-ox7sd if I can download it on sprint then its alright

Chaz is team jitters

[@fairith90]

This video is noticeably well edited, nice job Dan :D

[@operageek65]

Yes I've been so looking forward to this!!! And holy dang wow Dan did a great job with the editing here!

[@ThePisceanDragon]

Chaz, I don’t know if you read the comments, but I gotta say that you and your vest are GREAT!👍

[@TsunamiKitten56]

This game looks like so much fun!

[@NickAhles]

Waiting until next saturday is not going to be easy.

[@DigitalFumbles]

This was pretty fun, will be looking forward to the 2nd part.

[@miriamdelreal382]

With a chansey event card, we allow any Pokémon of that color to be grabbed, including from the “bank”.

[@niall62]

Oh, Alex is amazing in these!

[@zgamer200]

I've eagerly awaited this for so long. Finally. 2016 was a long time ago.

[@BlackPersonaX]

I remember owning this game as a kid! Still had the box and a few of the stuff in it, but everything was in such bad condition because I played with it too much :(

[@donutdotexe]

ik this was long ago, but this is awesome. I play the 7 Region Ultimate Edition on TTS which essentially allows you to extend the game and even pick it back up from where you left off. Just an FYI, item cards are per roll, so in an event of a tie they have to discard the item cards :)

[@IJUSTENDEDU]

I apreciate the editing in this video. Also I suggest looking into the gym exspansion for this game

[@kherichi]

WOW I am surprisingly hooked!

[@Pyronaut_]

“I haven’t played it but it’s probably really fun” Woo boy this is gonna be a fun ride for those of us who watch TheJWittz.

[@daisyxu5863]

I have never heard of this game, but now I want it

[@ShallBePurified]

I've seen enough JWittz to know how this series will end. It will not be pretty.

[@retrogamer969]

oh gods this game is brutal

[@FeyPhantom]

Loved the background music this ep~

[@TeeTop_]

omg! I had that board game as a kid!! I never really got to play it with anyone though. Wow!

[@CloverPandaQ]

Watch this at two times speed and youve got a board game add

[@aneonfoxtribute]

Oh sweet nostalgia. I played this a metric fuckton as a kid.

[@PikaRam-fw4hn]

We need more Pokémon

[@Nickster891]

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE pokemon wasn't even a thing in japan till 96

[@swoobatcharge1764]

19:05 I would've saved that shit for when someone gets a winning roll at the indigo plateau

[@scumbagpine3106]

Pretty sure you dont just go straight to Cinnabar Island when you get 20 points. I think you just need the 20 points to get passed Cinnabar Island but that doesn’t mean you get to teleport once you get enough points.

[@CodenameJD]

Woo! Love this game! :D

[@DBasedAlex]

He’s wearing sunglasses because he’s actually Andy Bernard

[@broguydudeman7588]

I loved this game when I played

[@gabrielsavelly8058]

The year I was born

[@SkyLowercut]

Such a GOOD GAME, DANGIT IT'S A 2PARTER. I wish I could play.

[@longliverocknroll5]

Likely more than 2 parts. This game can take multiple hours. Guess it depends if they cut it for their own sanity or not.

[@rossburhans8761]

According to his most recent vlog it's actually 4 parts long lol, gonna take a while.

[@SkyLowercut]

I watched the vlog immediately after this. Yup, we've got some good video content ahead.

[@PyraXadon]

Wait...this is Pokemon Trainer Kanto version. Oh. Oh no. Oh god no. Oh this is gonna end HORRIBLY I forsee it. (Thanks Jwittz for the warning.)

[@RamatiKat]

Part 1 of like 57.

[@FeyPhantom]

omg less than 2 minutes in and the video's already made me do a spit take xD

[@Nickster891]

i think we played this game once at a birthday party then i never played it again ( wasn't my birthday party )

[@allyfern9939]

"It was made in 1999, so it's like really really old" 19 is not THAT OLD JEEZ-Sincerely, someone who was born in 1999

[@Trent2Luigi]

Aw hell Yeah! Master trainer!

[@camvel869]

It's interesting to see how this game is valued in 400 bucks in 2018. I pretty much gave it away in 2007 :(

[@adamrhodes9533]

Mal... Is really good at the Chance Time voice clip...

[@kirby5790]

Hey Stephen, Ah, this board game brings back memories. This and the old D&D series do make me think, though, have you heard of Pokemon Tabletop United (or PTU), which is a tabletop RPG?

[@adamrhodes9533]

Okay. The Johto version is quite a bit different. For starters, they had the party system in place.

[@GoblinOnAStick]

Stephen and GREGGJ reunited!

[@FlashtheFirefox]

I can’t be sure if it was this game but at one point in time I did own a Pokémon board game; sadly I no longer have it. Nonetheless, it’ll be fun to watch all of you play this game.

[@wanderinggstars]

Honestly this makes me wanna buy the game on ebay

[@zag285]

This looks like the Last Supper lmao

[@rosariocrimson]

1999 is really old? Shaddap Stephen, I'm from 95, why you gonna throw me under the bus like that?

Strange; I have this game and also never played it because I only have the chips and not the board

[@lexioblackmoon288]

You are wrong you don’t go to cinnabar island when having a combined power of 20 it’s you can only get past cinnabar island if you have a combined power of 20

[@latedayJM]

"part 2 coming 2020"

[@christo_unlimited]

I found the Gen 3 version at a yard sale for $10. I need to get some friends together and play.
