Pokemon In Real Life (Flashback)

[@darkhoursofday6250]

I feel like.... no matter how bad things seem now they will turn out okay. Because Anthony and Ian got back together. Like... this reunion actually legit restored my faith in the rhythm of the universe. Every Anthony and Ian video now is a feel good video.

[@JForJakeX]

Honestly this is how I feel, ever since the reunion I’ve been getting back to my passions of creating which I developed from watching Smosh back in the day

[@darkhoursofday6250]

Dude!!!! Good job! That's awesome! I bet you kick ass at it! @@JForJakeX

[@dhivaansalig6398]

If that's the case, I hope All Engine's Go gets cancelled and Thomas the Tank Engines returns to its original format.

3th reply

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Yeah, it's like a sigh of relief because the world just reminded me "Don't worry, everything will work out in the end." Very soul soothing.

[@brenyatta]

‘EXTREME SLEEPOVER!’ is the video with the acid bottle. Anthony sprays Ian in the face with it because he’s dozing off

[@TheDanteEX]

You spoiled it! Like Anthony spoiled Ian's ojos.

[@ChernxbylCherrii]

Technically you’re right and you also spoiled the mystery of them trying to remember it

[@stauner32]

i remembered instantly lol. Probably cause i went on a binge when the announcement came out

[@kmdrks]

Thank you Ian and Anthony for getting smosh back and bringing us the content we have been missing ♡

[@jadaingram2431]

Fr only thing we’re missing now is show without a name

[@macx3r0]

And ian

[@Thundervolt888]

Well to be honest they said some other people helped them buy the company back

[@fernandorodriguez876]

You seem like a girl who had a scene phase in highschool!

[@TeaStormy-v6t]

Litterly, this Pokémon video was made 12 years ago, and I miss it

[@DanGamingFan2406]

"Pokémon in Real Life" is one of, if not the best series Ian and Anthony have ever done, and this episode is my favorite of those. I'm glad it ended up being so influential and beneficial to their careers.

[@robertseptim3579]

I'd say it's probably in the top 10 classics but definitely not the top 5

[@eyyfalon]

That's how I originally found them as a pokemon obsessed kid.

[@MarkRocha09]

@safoutop10104 Can you please stop saying that? Please

[@jaykstah]

​@safoutop10104You earn followers from making content, not the other way around.

[@WULFF7PCG]

I think the Charlie series is a little better in my opinion

[@Anasyub]

i just know ian and anthony probably have so many stories just about that park in sacremento, this series is my absolute fav series on youtube now. just you both talking about the behind stuff and random memories from school its so wholesome to watch

[@YinkThePinkInkDrinker]

I live in Sacramento I damnear gotta go check this park out bro

[@thatgiraffetho4656]

agreed new fav series

[@sarah-michellemease5622]

​@@YinkThePinkInkDrinkerI wonder if there's a stop there for Pokemon Go 😂

[@RoanShip]

They could’ve just said there parents where crack addicts

[@RoanShip]

@@Mikey-db8si good why do you ask?

[@FaTerokiMenra]

Ian's outfit being the male trainer outfit in Gen IV is so wild. Especially if it was coincidental or they just forgot that was the intention.

[@Mr110074]

Wow I can’t believe I never noticed that and Pokemon Diamond was my first Pokemon game. Also I wouldn’t be surprised that the costume designer did made Ian’s outfit based on the Gen 4 trainer and Ian and Anthony never noticed because they don’t know anything about Pokémon after Gen 1.

[@bound5055]

it might be intentional, gen 5 was announced around 2010 ish so they were pretty fresh when this video was made i’m assuming

[@EmyN]

Yeah!!! I was like, this outfit exists

[@rhysgrealish5227]

Still to this very day, my favorite Smosh quote is, “Penetrate its defenses with your Harden!”

[@Corey91666]

This Episode was legendary. My defense's only weakness is HARDEN

[@Metal_Malachy]

Love seeing Ian and Anthony trying to do a Courtney impression for the intro lol I gotta say; I was watching Smosh in 2006 with the Pokemon theme song video and it's been an amazing wild ride seeing how much SMOSH has evolved and changed and grown over the years. I know it's sort of a joke at this point but Ian really does seem genuinely happier overall now that Anthony is back. It's really awesome to see them both so happy and passionate about working on SMOSH together again. Loving this new "era" of SMOSH.

[@EpicAndrew97]

2005-2009: hilarious bad acting era 2009-2014: golden era 2014-2015: perfect mix of old and new Smosh 2015-2017: downfall era 2017-2023: dark era 2023-present: golden era part 2

[@timekiller882]

⁠@@EpicAndrew97you’re goofy asf. Smosh has been doing fine for a long time. Dark era? Grow up lol

[@charliedvb]

​@@EpicAndrew97I'd argue that after smosh was picked up by mythical they were in their reborn era

[@shigekax]

​@@EpicAndrew97it's insane to call the whole time anthony was absent "dark era" so much happened, the defy collapse and mythical acquisitions, as another commented, were already a biig change Smosh has always been hit or miss but they certainly weren't at their worst just 6 months ago!

[@mathewlopez3531]

15:33 THE UKULELE IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE APOLOGY 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Brandon-tz6vf]

The free space for the bingo card should be “Ian’s shut up intro”

[@singingmeloetta]

The pokemon ones, even the one with jigglypuff in the party and the joke charizard can’t use fly because he didn’t have the gym badge yet was such a great little snippet from the games

[@Enderwave22]

Oh no, I heard that Charizard couldn't even LEARN fly in G1 POKéMON.

[@LS151]

@@Enderwave22 Charizard could learn Fly only in Yellow, but not the other gen 1 games

[@tdarkhorse4]

Metrosexual essentially meant "I may 'dress like' I'm gay but I'm SO not gay" (Spoiler: a lot of us ended up being gay).

[@BluDemonOzzy]

My fav episode of the old skits to date is Paranormal Easy Bake oven. It was the first episode my friend intro'd me to and I been hooked ever since. Amazing how fast time moves when you don't notice.

[@theblackswordsman5039]

You can actually see it in the background in this video

i'm proud to be able to recognize Kortney's style of editing now it's so funny and adds a lot to the video, keep up the good work korts

[@Ems1347-m8v]

I want Ian, Anthony, Rhett, and Link recreate the rap battle.

[@Aidan-wise2009]

Same

[@souppe9616]

trueeee

[@Beldrakethen]

Love these throwback vids, it makes me feel like I’m 11-13 again, riddled with nostalgia. Especially when you guys referenced barber shop poll a couple bids back. I had the first ever Smosh jacket, and even wrote in my 8th grade graduation year book quote “I want to create funny videos and make video games when I’m older” and I’m accomplishing both! Thank you Ian and Anthony! 🤘🏻

[@m.l.7558]

Your channel doesn't have videos, where are they? I'd like to watch them. Or perhaps they are private? Anyways, I hope you are doing well on your endeavors

[@HeyItzJenine]

I so badly want a double featured "I'm bald" and "homeless millionaire". those were so good

[@tiny_fern]

25:46 guys… i’m gonna spoil it to you anyway, it was the extreme sleepover episode 😂

[@annikan42]

The editing in these is top tier. I absolutely love hearing these guys reflect, and the editing is perfect for them

[@YTFlove4ever]

I appreciate everything they remember in detail. Especially when Anthony was talking about all the lists on KZbin the Pokemon lip sync video made when they posted

[@mitzitheman8214]

26:49 it was EXTREME SLEEPOVER with the acid bottle, I watched it recently

[@eyyfalon]

This video was what had originally started me on smosh. The nostalgia hitting bad. 😂

[@HeisenbergFam]

Ian and Anthony watching younger Smosh is so nostalgic, time flies, glad you guys still have fun doing KZbin

[@tygamer2436]

At this point its like a mini game finding you

[@Wargasmo]

@@tygamer2436 the easiest mini game ever.

[@disquiet-mind]

I'll never forget that I had a friend in elementary school like 5th grade or something and they told me about what would eventually become my first ever smosh video: "My Bathroom Secret" And it had me pretty much hooked ever since. I hope you guys go over that one eventually. Love everything y'all make! Keep doing awesome stuff!!

[@habitsrabbit]

Pokemon in real life was a youtube changing series ngl. All of my friends were talking about it! What are our chances of a flashback episode about a certain neighbor? 🦩 👑

[@sweet_6995]

Flashback w/ Smosh makes my week every time. love Ian and Anthony talking to each other

[@stephaniesanchez5016]

I love how much they've both matured and are back to doing what they love

[@emb-s4138]

Smosh getting back together = Faith in humanity restored

[@lucasmanwick2700]

What a classic video you guys picked this time. I hope the next flash back is the remarkable and infamous Dixion Cider video

[@jaredmyers8875]

How do you feel about the prediction my guy?

[@Crisp567]

I've been loving this format where you guys just sit down and talk. You better think of something like this to fill this spot when you end this series 😙 ! I would love to have a weekly watchable 30 min podcast like this about other topics, it would be cool. Anyway the pokemon sketch is a classic, I love every single part of it. One of my favorites to this day.

[@mahanonn]

the intro of this video had such “lunchtime with smosh” energy i got whiplash but i love it 😂

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

This was the first Smosh video I ever saw. I have alot of nostalgia towards it because of that.

[@fredramirez5197]

Same.

[@Anasyub]

i dont remember what my first smosh video was but pokemon was definetly one of the first ones! that jigglypuff shutup sequence is so deeply engrained in my memory even tho i havnt seen this video in ages. That video really makes me feel so nostalgic like thats the smosh i grew up with

[@JerginBootwyler]

Its cool that this was alot of peoples first smosh video, its really a good starting point. For me though my first smosh video was food battle 2009 i think (its been a while)

[@nerdyworld938]

This was my first smosh video!! I remember I googled pokemon videos on KZbin and them IRL and the rest is history 😁

[@vitorgonzaga515]

Ian looks happy. Good for him

[@Travis-oy3se]

These videos are all so cool. Looking back on classic Smosh is so fun. And with your new comedy videos, you guys haven't lost your touch. Can't wait to see Smosh when Anthony and Ian are in their 70s haha

[@SupaCD]

literally perfect you all are reacting to this. ive just recently fell back in love with the games through PokeMMO it is so much fun

[@alexhall7412]

This is the first smosh video I ever watched when I was 12 years old. Love that I’m revisiting it over 10 years later.

[@ChernxbylCherrii]

Anyone notice the cut at 5:42? Wonder what else was said behind the scenes there The South Park voice over with that clap for the bug + hidden Markiplier cameo + Anthony’s snake laugh 😂 So glad I was able to get a Pokémon themed smosh hat before they were sold out 🎉

[@WolfTamer]

11:54 Smosh was WAY ahead of their time on this one! But so glad they included some features from scarlet and violet.

[@coreytucker959]

Hey ian and Anthony you guys made me laugh with every classic video that you guy made keep up the good work and it good to see reunited

[@cshakuore]

I’m glad I’ve been a subscriber since this *KZbin* video y’all are talking about in a *KZbin* video that I’m still a subscriber to gladly be for

[@jblant00]

I recently visited the park where this and many other Smosh videos were filmed. It turns out I had been living less than an hour away from it most of my life! It was crazy seeing the place in real life (no pun intended).

[@Shik0njuul934]

Where is this park? I have to make a pilgrimage there in cali

[@EnzoDraws]

This video is still VERY funny to me all these years later, it definitely holds up. I'm glad that's the case, as I do find myself not laughing at some older Smosh vids, but goddamn this one is peak perfection through and through.

[@SapphiroVerse_Animations]

Best nostalgic video :3 Those were amazing as always since then

[@etherealmum]

Pokémon in real life was my start with Smosh and got me into KZbin in general. I love you Anthony and Ian, you will always be a part of my childhood ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mal1ily]

I remember on the old podcast they mentioned this, but it’s so nice hearing a more detailed story from the both of them :)💜

[@GingerBreadSed]

Loved the editing this episode, thank you Kortney 🙏

[@MysteriousGir]

I remember my first time watching this. It was after school and my teacher showed it to me. When I got home I looked up Smosh and watched everything.

[@SuperMarioPuppets2007]

25:08 the acid spray was from "Extreme Sleepover"

[@setsers1]

I swear, this series was one of your best. I remember laughing with my friends in 7th grade. Good times.

[@BeatlesMusicRock]

I have headphones in and legitimately just flinched/swatted at my ear when I heard the bug sound lol

[@topatsyn_]

I've been binge watching smosh, pit, games channel video and seeing ian become more and more fashionable makes me go wow

[@KJSCalderon]

Pokemon IRL is the reason why I watched Smosh.

[@mango_tango1]

This was my favorite smosh video back then

[@CommanderSteelTrap]

I remember the Mis Ojos video. I rewatched the video it’s in not too long ago.

[@itay4969]

I would love them to watch the rest of the series and react to them
