The time has come. A dozen months, a dozen videos now in the books. I think we ended on a banger, this feels like some of my most thorough work of year considering how much damn Pokémon I played and watched to prepare for this lol. Frankly it feels like I've been prepping for this one all of my life haha.

I've been playing Pokémon since I was in diapers and I have always deeply treasured the series. This is sort of my way of both appreciating what worked in the past and dissecting how Game Freak can use that moving forward to make Pokémon battles feel larger than life again.

I hope you enjoy the first non-psych related DTG video in a very very long time, and I hope that it feels as academic and entertaining as previous videos have. This was stupidly fun to make and if this is how video production feels moving forward, 2023 is going to be a feast.

Thank you all SO incredibly much for a brilliant year and I am thrilled to have you along for the ride in the next one <3

Old 3D Pokémon Games Hit Harder

Get up to 40% off with my link https://ridge.com/daryl from now until December 22nd! Thanks again to The Ridge for sponsoring! As the years have gone by, I have aged and the wonder of Pokemon battles has dissipated. Strangely, this same wonder for sports has not. And after doing a LOT of watching Pokemon battle film from pretty much… every 3D Pokemon game created… I think the reason for this change is less to do with my age and more to do with camerawork. Today, we’re talking cinematography. Today, we’re talking about why older pokemon games seem to hit harder.
