PokéNational Geographic Gives a Taste of What Real-Life Pokemon Might Be Like

As an enormous Pokémon fan, I’ve typically fantasized about what Pokémon would resemble if they were genuine. Movies like Detective Pikachu and video games like Pokémon GO have actually provided various tastes of this musing, however among my current preferred fantasies needs to be the YouTube series PokéNational Geographicproduced by Elious Entertainment

PokéNational Geographic is a series of brief YouTube videos, each including a various Pokémon and structured like a National Geographic documentary section. There are episodes on Mimikyu, Baltoy, Magikarp, Phantump, Sobble, and Magnemite readily available at the time this is composed, all under 2 minutes each, including a close-up take a look at a realistic-looking Pokémon and some Pokedex-driven truths about its environment and habits. There’s likewise a “complete episode” released just recently that integrates numerous existing sectors into one five-minute episode

My outright favorite of these up until now needs to be Mimikyuhowever the Magikarp one is respectable also simply for how completely it roasts the ineffective fish Pokémon. The series appears quite speculative up until now in regards to format and length, however it has actually been upgrading rather frequently, so ideally we get back at more of these clips to enjoy in the future.

IGN connected to Elious Entertainment for discuss how and why these were made, however didn’t get a reaction.

I personally hope we get lots more of these clips. They advise me a little bit of Pokémon Snap (and New Pokémon Snap) in their take on the Pokémon world as a wild one where Pokemon mostly tackle their company in nature without much issue for human beings. I like the concept of somebody producing an in-depth nature documentary about their wild routines; it’s a take a look at these dream animals that’s both familiar and alien at the exact same time.

For more Pokémon chatter, we just recently evaluated the brand-new Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which we stated was “a blast to play alone and with buddies, however it’s still kept back by all the very same technical concerns that made Pokémon Scarlet and Violet a catastrophe.”
