Last week on a certain YouTube highlight, I put particular emphasis on a channel that made comics come to life through "comic dubs". Many of those featured animation as well, though arguably on a rudimentary level. Because YouTube is based on videos, it can and does allow for fully animated creations to be shown, and there is much of that on the site, including for creations that are inspired by and/or including Pokémon. For the purpose of this highlight, I'd like to showcase a few of the channels I've discovered that have shown off creations of Pokémon animation.
One of those channels would be one called poopooghost. The quality of animation here is basic but funky, even if the animations are somewhat short. Here, the animations related to Pokémon on this channel are of certain Pokémon evolving, which are pretty neat to look at. A few videos have the basics down, such as for the Ralts family, including its branched evolution. Others are more dramatic - possibly to evade certain restrictions - and can feature other Pokémon, such as the one for Torchic with Ludicolo as a special guest. Still others, well... they have a bit of a joke due to the time when they were uploaded, such as the case for Bonsly. The time between new content could be quite far, but even the existing content is exciting.
Another channel belongs to an animator identified simply as "sum". The style is similar to the previous channel, but the style is more polished and the videos are definitely longer. There is a Scorbunny family animation in the same vein, with a special for its middle stage Raboot. Sentimental stories are also present, such as those featuring two Meowstic as well as a Glaceon and a Leafeon. A select few have a lax quality, one of them featuring a Sylveon in particular. The animator appears to be South Korean in origin, which further affirms that Pokémon has its fans there. The channel is relatively young but productive; there is lots of hope for more Pokémon creations from here.
A third channel I'm highlighting in this post is one called MarlineAnimates. This one's somewhat different, for it features even longer animations and some are even tied to popular music pieces. One featuring Incineroar vs. Primarina was expertly conceived in the style of Annie Get Your Gun, featuring one of its iconic songs. Using the hit song "What Does the Fox Say?", an impressive animation resulted with a wide variety of Pokémon. A shorter feature with a memetic "kitty cat dance" song is just as delightful. Like the first channel, the videos might be relatively fewer, but that's welcome in this case since the quality is exceptional and they're rather satisfying.
Animation would certainly be no stranger to video-sharing media, so it's expected that YouTube would have that in spades. And if any of its users are fans of Pokémon, then that may lead to a "perfect storm" of animations with or featuring it. Out of that "perfect storm" on YouTube, there are these three channels I've discovered recently, and there are sure to be many more of them. Admittedly, for those looking for funky, unique, or even excellently done animations with Pokémon on YouTube, these three should represent a nice start, or if you're like me browsing through YouTube, a great stopover.
