👨‍🏫About Professor Silver & Pokemon Explained
Each episode of Pokemon Explained profiles a different Pokemon from the main cast and breaks down its COMPLETE history on the anime, including all of its battles, appearances, character development & significant storylines.
We'll be covering all of Ash and his companion's Pokemon.
We're just starting out, so if you have any requests or feedback, I'm game to listen! Please leave feedback in the comment section or email me at [e-mail].

[@ungodlyminutes4393]

can we appreciate Gary's character development in the whole series from being one of the hated rival of ash to besties of ash!

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Definitely a great rival, I do wish he did more in Kanto tho

[@jlf6235]

Hi mindy!

[@MarcusMapua]

I did find it interesting though for Gary about his character in Journeys now. Gary's personality from Kanto to the end of Johto had his behavior acting with arrogance and antagonistic towards others; but afterwards in his appearances in Chronicles & Sinnoh, he became a lot more polite, respectful, & matured when he became a researcher. But in Journeys it feels like they reset his character back to how he was in season 1 all over again

[@Giorno-_-giovanna]

Yea he's like loki

[@J2ojuiced95]

@@MarcusMapua they didn’t reset his character he’s still views Ash very highly, he was rude towards Goh, but as Prof Oak says he was acting like that to motivate Goh to join Project Mew.

[@petersmith9138]

The only iteration of Gary that doesn’t start off with a type advantage over his rival

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Perhaps, in this universe, ash is the rival haha

[@EL-gw4hm]

or… Gary is actually the main character!!

[@narxmagee727]

Blastoise vs. Moltres has to be one of my favourite battles from Journeys. Just seeing Blastoise absolutely fling itself all over the place blasting up the Legendary bird was awesome and really shows that a shift in career does not equate to a decrease in power.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I dug it a lot as well, I Just wish Infernape got more spotlight during the battle haah

[@MarcusMapua]

Blastoise was more of the MVP pokemon of that battle against Moltres, and I feel like that the way the battle was unfolding, Blastoise could have actually defeated Moltres; if only Blastoise had kept Hydro Cannon in its moveset pool and not had replaced it with Water Pulse, which definitely could have defeated Moltres with how it was going and Blastoise was the only one to do more than enough damage on it, more than Electivire, Pikachu, & Infernape. (Especially even more so than infernape, which we All wanted but sadly did not get and now we can only recount that the latest thing we can remember for infernape is not the last battle it had against Paul, but its performance in its battle against Moltres)

[@GojoPlushie69]

@@ProfessorAlexSilvercan you do ash's greninja plz I would like that

[@J2ojuiced95]

Gary’s Blastoise has always been a beast whenever we’ve seen it. I wish the anime actually showed Gary using its previous evolutions, so it would feel like we’d seen it getting stronger.

They did my man heracross dirty when he fought blastoies

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

[@narxmagee727]

Herscross was done super dirty from the beginning of Johto when it was unfairly benched at Oak's till the league for no reason.

[@abhishek8243]

It's shame that they didn't give mega evolution to Gary's Blastoise when it made apperance in Journeys. As misty and brock were provided mega a series before, it should have given a Mega.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Would've been awesome to see like how Misty & brock returned with megas

[@XGame80]

Maybe it’ll return and mega evolve fighting ash’s mega lucario, Pikachu, or ash might even bring back charizard and mega evolve it to fight it again

Another stellar research video, Prof! Even though we don’t see it as much as Charizard, I still think that the final battle between Blastoise and Charizard in the Johto league was a major highlight for me as it’s basically the final showdown between Ash and Gary. Really like how much respect Gary gained for Ash since then….

The funniest thing about all of this is, since Gary’s starter wasn’t canonically revealed yet when they made Pokémon Yellow. So the rival had an Eevee as a starter in that game because of that episode with a battle between Gary and Ash, when Gary used an Eevee vs Ash’s Pikachu.

One thing I found interesting when I watched the episode where Blastoise appears in the Johto League against Ash. Both Misty and Brock recognize it and comment about being a squirtle and Gary’s strongest Pokémon

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Same! I wish they included that line in the Japanese version as well. Would have been cool if Brock confirmed that he fought Gary

[@steelwayne]

I think that was a plot hole because, from what I remember, they met Gary for the first time after Ash had obtained badges from both Brock and Misty. They even got upset and wanted Ash to teach him a lesson because Gary called their gyms "losers" and "wimps".

[@IrisRiedel6]

Yayyy another video! And an interesting and emotional one too! We don't see much of Blastoise ever even though it is Gary's starter. 💙

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I always thought it was super strange Blastoise didn't get more spotlight in S1

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I honestly think that they weren't really sure how to write Gary as a proper rival for Ash back then, which is why he didn't appear too much back then and would mostly be there to brag about how much better he is than Ash rather than actually battling him to prove himself. It's like they didn't have a plan for how to have Ash interact with Gary, which is why they held off on developing their rivalry until Johto.

[@IrisRiedel6]

@@matthewkuscienko4616 true, i feel like they just went with the flow at the time. After all, they were supposed to complete the anime at some point but when it blew up they changed their minds.

@@ProfessorAlexSilver Ok

[@philipportelli7700]

It seemed to me that they purposely kept Gary's Starter a secret until there could be a showdown with Ash. After all, Blastoise wasn't seen in Gary's battle in Giovanni or the Indigo League because he was never going to compete against Ash directly. I'm guessing that's why they made up more badges for Gary to win as he was denied the Earth Badge!

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Before Eevee debuted, I thought Growlithe was his starter because of the Orange Islands intro

[@tomojpeg]

Hi professor, do you watch every episode the pokemon shows up in every video or do you read episode recaps? Thanks, huge fan of your videos.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I do all the research myself. Some episodes, I'll watch in detail (e.g. a capture episode or character development), but for specific scenes (e.g. battles, or utility support), I just need to skim them. Since I've done ~60 so far, a lot of the episodes I've already watched in full many, many times, and skimmed through many more times looking for bit scenes. I check off every episode appearance

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

it's super awesome, but I wish the animation was upgraded haha

[@sumirsookdeo9443]

Blastoise is underated since Charizard was always poster boy. Wish his in game design had bigger cannons. I agree we needed a buildup with Blastoise into the final battle with Gary vs Ash. We saw a buildup in character development with Sawyer Sceptile, Allain Charizard and Paul Electivire but didn't see Blastoise until the league battle. Perhaps if Gary had Umbreon in that team things would've turned out differently in that league against Ash.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Torterra will be a really fun one to cover. I wish it had one more epic battle before Paul left tho.

[@johannesroth395]
