Pikachu - Was the main reason why I love Pokemon and what got me to constantly watch the series and always love pulling any Pikachu card 💛
Squirtle is my all time fave. The first game I played was Blue so I wanted the game mascot so chose Squirtle as my starter and he’s been my fave ever since. ‘Here comes the Squirtle Squad’ was then my fave episode in the Anime as well. This was an amazing video!
Squirtle bar none. Always loved and identitfied with turtles and when i was a kid and saw Squirtle with glasses on I felt a kinship 💙
My favorite Gen 1 pokemon of all time is Eevee. Eevee is a very basic Pokémon on the surface in terms of what it can do on its own, but its ability to evolve into multiple different types of pokemon is so cool. They've been able to use this ability throughout the history of Pokemon, and I love seeing the creativity Eevee allows. Also, Eevee is an incredibly cute Pokemon, and the name fits so well. It's just one of the coolest ideas for a Pokémon.
Mewtwo! His story is a tragic one and if you go inside the Cinnabar Mansion you can see all they did to him, truly a great backstory for one of the best pokemon ever made.
Favorite gen 1? The one and only Pikachu- in particular, Ash’s pikachu. The attitude it had towards Ash in the beginning and how it grew to a loyal companion. Plus, pikachu is so cute!
Favorite Gen 1 pokemon is definitely Gengar. I love his tragic backstory, it makes him a very complex and relatable pokemon.
The trip down memory lane was so surreal. I lost a childhood friend of mine almost 2 years now and we played every Pokémon game up until around platinum on ds while going into 7 grade. It’s wild to think we were destroying so many skyridge cards to scan on our game boys. Seeing the artwork of all the older wizards of the coast packs got me happy and emotional. Sometimes you never really appreciate the small thing until years and years past by. Long time fan of what you do for this community. Keep rocking Leon!
Bulba was allways my go to when I was a kid. I thought he was so cool first time I see him, Pokemon was a big part of my childhood love your Chanel bro
Gengar is for sure my favorite, his abandonment story hits my soul but overall he’s the coolest, strongest dude 🥺💜
16:54 I’m pissed caught me off guard😂
My favorite Gen 1 Pokemon has to be Magikarp, because I too only know how how to Struggle. But also because it evolves into one of the most bad to the bone Pokemon.
Gyarados. Was always my favorite Pokemon to use in the original games. Those games got me through some tough times as a kid. didn't really get the opportunity to collect the cards but I was lucky enough for the games and the show. love that you are still a kid on the inside and sharing your love for the cards and knowledge with all of us.
My favorite gen 1 Pokémon is Poliwhirl. Love the design and the fact that it's Red's first Pokémon in the manga
Such a difficult decision to choose one. I would have to go with Dragonite as my favourite generation 1 Pokemon. I think Dragonite has one of the best designs in generation 1 and I like dragons. I have so much nostalgia from the video games & watching Pokemon on TV when I was a kid. Dragonite was the one that stands out to me the most and I remember how mysterious this Pokemon was in the show. On another note, keep up the great work on these videos! I notice all the edits(sound effects, images popping up) and really adds to the video and make it more enjoyable.
Meowth is definitely my favorite because of the show, he’s a big ole goof and that dang lil coin on his head is pretty neat
Snorlax was always my favorite gen 1 pokemon. I have always enjoyed my sleep and he will forever be my spirit animal! Loving the video and it has been very informative as my 4 kiddos have just gotten into pokemon cards and reignited my love for collecting them!
As someone who just got back into card collecting with 151, SOOO fun to see these opening and all the packs I missed during my broke years hahah Nidoking was always my favorite, using thrash at early levels in Pokémon BLUE and earthquaking everything in the elite four was epic. He was also cool as heck in the show!
I've missed seeing you too man. You always bring fun positive energy to card opening. I seriously can't understand why other Pokemon creators hate you.
