For those who know, there is a youtube series called "Honest Trailers" in which they parody movies by being honest with its quality. Now they've expanded to video games, and they've done a honest trailer on Pokémon, featuring popular youtube celebrities Smosh. There's not much strong language in this series, since they get censored by bleeps:



What are your thoughts on this honest trailer?

I know it was meant in good fun and jest, but part of it did leave me a little exasperated. I think it mainly has to do with how often people use some of these criticisms legitimately, and say them as if it's some sort of revelation to any fan of the series. The amount of times I've heard people say 'when you think about it, pokemon is basically like virtual cockfighting', like it is an original thought is mindblowing. The alternate name list was sort of funny at times though. Vileplume being Black Toad got a chuckle out of me as bizarrely enough I've never noticed the resemblance.

I really like the movie ones and most of the video game ones. But I didn't enjoy the pokemon one much, maybe because I was red blue rather than the whole franchise.
Most of the content as well has been "said before". I just think it could have been a lot more witty.

Oh....I love **** like this. Yes, most of what was said in that video has been said before many times, but I still find it funny sue me *****es.

It would be nice though if they included the other games more instead of having a focus on Gen 1.

I'm a big fan of the other honest trailers and even though I've obviously got an attachment to the subject matter this time around, I still found it funny lol :) I know a lot of it's been pointed out before but to see it all in the one clip is still amusing and just enhances why I like Pokémon and all its little idiosyncrasies lol :)


The names for all the original Pokémon were a neat touch that definitely added an element of originality to the video, otherwise it probably would have been a little bland without it. My favourite was "Ryback" for Rhyhorn, it's the name of a wrestler and I actually named my own Rhyhorn that in a previous game haha :)
