This is the greatest piece of animation ever constructed by human beings. It must be known that I am only guessing that human beings made this, because the nature of this video is so other-worldly amazing that it is not out of the question for it to have been made by celestial deities on a higher plane of existence. And also Bump of Chicken. After merely two minutes and change, your eyes will be shitting out pieces of your brain. Your life will be forever changed and you'll temporarily forget the collapse of civilization occurring outside of your place of residence, because this video isgood enough to change humanity. The human eye can see a million colors, but this animation has several trillion. It exceeds the limitations of the third dimension and stretches beyond infinity. It is all-consuming and limitless. It is universe-defining. From the first sparkling notes to the ending chant of GOTCHA!, love from all sources penetrate your eyes, ears, heart, soul, red, blue, dick and cum simultaneously. Starting with four boys walking on railroad tracks and ending with two original characters passing by billboards of post-game bosses through each generation, GOATCHA! is a death blossom of nostalgia that will bring even the most hardened of cynical fans to their knees. Not a single split-second is spared in shoving in every personable animation possible. Whether it's a silent protagonist, a charismatic rival, an iconic Champion, an intimidating Gym Leader, or Diantha, each face in the lightning-fast carousel of callbacks is given a brilliant moment to shine; one more grain of Stardust in the bag. GOTCHA! leaves nothing behind and never forgets. The limits of time mean nothing. Included in the tornado of nostalgia are strikingly well-designed original characters who traverse various locations, allowing the animator gods to deliver more scenes in dazzlingly clever ways, with the perspective often changing to connect the pieces together. Many flashbacks of intense, memorable Pokemon battles are played directly in their respective locations in between the journey of the two adventurers, who pass by legends casting shadows over cities and video screens continuing the montage. GOTCHA! is not just an orgasmic celebration of the series, it's a journey forward. A new adventure with new characters. They, too, have been injected with an abundance of charm and likability. Art exists to enrich the lives of others. GOTCHA! is the reason why art exists. When art was invented in My Hero Academia by Walt Disney in 1690, his exact words were "I have created art because one day a Pokemon music video will be created and it will make Mozilla Fennekin shit his fucking pants." On September 29, 2020, art officially peaked. Nothing better has ever existed before, and nothing greater will exist ever again. We are free from the pressures of success and achievements. GOTCHA! has saved us all by being everything that we are not. Perfect. Also, the music was good.
This music video is a perfect illustration of why I love anime. From the godlike team up of Rie Matsumoto and Yuki Hayashi, a divine duo that's proven themselves together twice over with Kyousougiga and Baby, I Love You Daze, loads of incredibly animation talent from studio Bones and other connections, and a bumping song by BUMP of Chicken, this music video was born. All it needed was three minutes. Three minutes of time to completely embody the appeal, history, and wonder that is the nearly 25 year old franchise known as Pokémon. Every bit of love I've ever had for every facet of this franchiseand every bit of love the team creating this music video had for this franchise, bursts into a beautiful celebration of the series, one that has made me feel more passionate than I've felt about anything for a long time. That passion I'm feeling right now, to me, thats the real power of anime.
I watched it about eleven times since it released. Every time i cried from nostalgia. Greatly captures feelings of bond created with characters across the entire franchise. Animation and music are both bangers. Studio responsible for the animation have shown, that they care for the franchise and love it as much as the viewers the video was targeted to. Incredible atention to details, that make you immersed in the experience. It is the embodiment of my childhood dreams and memories and I feel really thankfull that TPC wanted to acknowledge how we as Pokemon Trainers felt during those great moments in our life. Thank YouPokemon.
Before going to my short review of this sensational music video, I would like to talk a little about Pokémon and my love for it. As a kid, Pokémon was one of those shows that I always loved watching, so much so that sometimes, I would watch an entire episode repeatedly without getting bored of it. I loved watching my favourite characters go on various adventures and then fight with other Pokémon trainers—in order to become the very best, like no one ever was! (Sorry, that was kinda cringey.) I loved hearing the cheesy lines of Team Rocket as they used their silly plans to defeatAsh and his crew, but failed every time. I loved the adventurous feeling of the show that always made me feel inspirational. Actually, I loved pretty much every aspect of Pokémon as a kid. Well, I still love Pokémon. I'm certain most of you do as well. Even though I stopped watching it quite a while ago, Pokémon still has a very special place in my heart, and most likely, it always will. No matter how mediocre the show might be, I think I'm always going to keep loving it. And watching Gotcha! gave me the exact feeling I used to get watching Pokémon just a few years ago. Despite being just a short 3 minute music video, Gotcha! managed to greatly encapsulate the beauty of Pokémon. Not only did I absolutely enjoy every single second of it, but I also felt incredibly nostalgic while watching it. For starters, the animation is nothing short of amazing. The artstyle is really colorful and captivating. It somehow manages to make you energetic and enthusiastic within a very short amount of time. The character designs are also aesthetic. Studio Bones really put a lot of effort into the animation. If you pay just a little attention, you'll be able to see the sheer amount of details that most of the scenes have. The song is also very, very catchy. It's totally befitting to the electrifying nature of the video. I really loved BUMP OF CHICKEN'S (that's how they write their name) previous work on one of the movies of Doraemon (Another favourite childhood show of mine), and they did a marvellous job with the music in Gotcha! as well. Pokémon might have been your childhood, or might have not. Either way, Gotcha! is undoubtedly a very well-produced music video. It's short in length, but succeeds at doing a lot of impressive things within the span of only 3 minutes.
It would seem that to properly enjoy Gotcha!, some degree of nostalgic feeling towards Pokemon is required. Which, to be fair, is not exactly unexpected. Should you be one of those that didn’t really get around to playing or watching Pokemon in their childhood (which somehow seems to be a minority group), this music video isn’t going to have the intended effect on you. After all, it consists mainly of short flashes of various characters from the Pokemon franchise, and you won’t even recognize a lot of those – even more as some of them are characters only from the games, not from the animeadaptations. The animation is the best part – such quick-paced storyboard requires fluid animation to not look like a flipbook, and this requirement was fully filled. I also like how it has a sort of nostalgia filter that made parts of the video look more old-school, fitting with the theme. The song wasn’t really my cup of tea, I’ve heard better ones by Bump of Chicken. In terms of story, there is no story – as mentioned previously this is practically a compilation of very short character clips tied together through protagonists of the games. So yeah, if this was your childhood then “Wow 10/10!”, if it wasn’t then not so much.
Gotcha. The best thing to come out of Pokemon in years. It was like a love letter to Pokemon fans, telling them that they still care about the franchise, even if their most recent games weren’t the most well-received. There wasn’t a story in this short music video. It mainly referenced the games, going into many details, big or small, from older games. Many of these references are rather forgettable for most people but can bring a feeling of nostalgia and help you remember things. For example, during the opening moments of the video, four boys are walking on a railroad track, a reference to theTV in Pokemon Red and Blue. A lot of characters were shown in this music video. I think every single major protagonist, rival, professor, champion, antagonist, gym leader, and elite four members were in it. For the few seconds each character was on screen, their personalities were captured perfectly. The video also introduced two new characters. These characters are shown as children and slowly grow and continue on their journey, with all the legendaries, gym leaders, and previous generations in their path. I believe these two trainers represent the viewers and Pokemon fans, growing older as they play through each generation, continuing their Pokemon journey. The animation of Gotcha was really good. It used many vibrant colours and had an amazing use of lighting. The animation was also just super clean. There wasn’t a single moment where the animation was off with its technicalities. The music also synced up with the animation most of the time, but there were very few moments where it wasn’t synced. The song for Gotcha sounded pretty good. This was probably one of Bump of Chicken’s best works. There isn’t much to say here other than that. Overall, this music video was a love letter to Pokemon fans, telling them that they still care for the franchise. It was packed with references, clean animation, a good soundtrack, and a lot of nostalgia. Extra message: This music video must've taken a lot of work and the Pokemon games in general also must’ve taken a lot of work. After carrying me through so many years of my life, and being the largest part of my childhood, I just want to say, “Thank you Pokemon.”
The Pokémon franchise is what many would call an outlier. Its success can only be described as historic, and one of the very few franchises that bridges the generational gap. Pokémon has continued to capture the hearts of young and old alike through creativity and fun. As it nears its 25th Anniversary (also Pikachu's Pokedex number), Game Freak and Nintendo surely have some exciting things up their sleeves. To kick off the celebration, Game Freak showed off a music video that fully encapsulated the spirit and wonder of the Pokémon world. Animated by the legendary Studio Bones, it kicks off with reference to what could bethe very first easter egg in the entire franchise. An almost shot for shot sequence from the classic movie, "Stand By Me", which of course was what was playing on the protagonists' TV in their room in the original Red and Blue. From there, it felt like being shot out of a rocket, as every game, protagonist, villain, legendary, starter, gym leader, and professor was shown and given the spotlight. The sheer amount of detail and things happening on screen was staggering, making multiple views absolutely mandatory. As we travel through Pokémon history, we also follow two new characters and their partner Pokémon, Pikachu and Eevee. Their designs are unique and wild, which perfectly fits the tone of this stunning music video. We see instances of them growing up with their partners and setting off on their own Pokémon journeys. They both have distinct personalities, as well as their Pokémon, making them very memorable. Visually, this was absolutely stunning. The sheer amount of detail, references, and care is abundant. This was clearly made by fans, for fans. Colors are vibrant and bold, the animation was fluid and gorgeously detailed, making this total eye candy. I think one of the most pronounced visual aspects of the video were the key battles and vital moments from each game. Be it finding Blue in the final room of the Elite Four, Gold facing off against Red on Mt. Silver, Wally running towards Brendan/May for one final fight; the list just goes on and on. That was hugely important, as it really felt that every game got a chance to shine and show what made it special. All of this was accompanied by one of the most popular Japanese Rock Bands of the current era, BUMP OF CHICKEN. Bump has done various anime Opening and Ending songs, making them widely known across the world. The song used here, Acacia, really puts their best qualities forward with the upbeat and positive style they're best known for. This music video will go down as one of the greats, where love and care were clearly put into every frame. As Pokémon kicks off its 25th celebration, we use this to fondly look back on the experiences and friends we made along the way. I'm ready for another 25 fantastic years of Pokémon.
To call this a masterpiece would be an understatement. This is a work of art so sublime that even the most eloquent orators describing its heavenly perfection (such as yours truly) hardly scratch the surface on the sheer greatness unraveled upon the world in these 3 minutes. God does wonders that cannot be understood by us mere mortals, but this video is a miracle of such grandeur that I would dare to say even a being so omniscient as God himself will never come to fully comprehend its majesty. It’s simply that powerful. Its ethereal presence graces our unworthy, heathen souls. Any poor, misguided simpletonrating this below a 10 is acting merely out of spiteful vengeance, for this video has elevated the standards of anime so high that I’m afraid to say everything else is just “mid” in comparison. I’m here to tell you why, as a longtime Pokemon fan, witnessing this is the greatest thing to have blessed my miserable existence. Firstly, let’s talk about the music itself. Bump of Chicken is a solid band and the tune they’ve produced here fits in pretty well with the vibe of the Pokemon franchise as a whole: hopeful, cheery, and a little nostalgic. I’m no music connoisseur (if that wasn’t obvious already), but rest assured the beeps and the boops will not disappoint in this one. More importantly, the video. Holy, what a video it is. I could sit here writing for days on end about the thousands of cute little moments and references jampacked into the video that display the immense outpouring of love that seeps into every single frame of animation. Morpeko pushing Marnie’s face up to make her smile, Kyogre’s shadow gliding behind the girl as we see it start raining under the street light, Groudon’s shadow rising behind the boy as we see harsh rays of sunlight being reflected by the street light, Blue waiting smugly at the end of the Pokemon League, Gold’s legendary battle against Red, Greninja valiantly moving in with his water shurikens to protect Serena from an enraged Mewtwo, Lillie doing her Z-powered pose as Selene playfully bumps into her…I mean, I could mention a million more of these moments and I haven't even taken a single glance at the video while writing this. That's just how vividly it plays in my mind now. Or perhaps I could do the same describing how beautifully the animation was choreographed. How smoothly the video seems to flow with the song’s rhythm, all while you're in awe of everything going on. This video demands you to rewatch it over and over, to attempt to experience the hype once more. And every single time, there's always something new to make note of. I love the transitions between every region’s champion during the first chorus, Wallace elegantly falling down out of frame and kicking upwards as Cynthia slides down into frame where Wallace's kick left off, flashing a confident smile before her menacing Garchomp makes itself known to the world. What a masterful transition this is, exhibiting expert understanding of where the audience’s attention is and taking advantage of that in building a dynamic flow between scenes. But no, I won't bore you any longer. Point is, go watch the video. If you're reading this I'm assuming you already have, but go do it again. And then once more. If my passion does not convince you by now, so be it. Now I’ll crawl back into my lonesome hole and forever revel in delight about this video till the end of time.
TLDR; If you grew up playing Pokémon, whether that be you’re a former trainer or a current fan, you’ll love this music video. It’s nothing short of an epic rush of nostalgia. Watching the new Pokémon direct earlier this week I was not expecting the president of Game Freak to announce a music video, celebrating what was likely meant for a 25th Anniversary. This alone was a welcome surprise, but to have one from BUMP OF CHICKEN made the announcement evermore savory. If you’re not familiar with BUMP OF CHICKEN, they’ve done work with other anime music videos including March Comes in Like a Lion. Normallytheir music is accompanied by gorgeous visual art that is arguably just as good if not better than the anime itself. This music video is just as detailed with many callbacks, cameos, and other Easter eggs scattered throughout. At the start you see four boys, supposedly the band as young kids/teenagers, walking along train tracks. This is a direct callback to the TV station your mom has on in the very first adventure in Pokémon Red and Blue. Apparently, the members of BUMP OF CHICKEN named themselves after the Pokémon move Counter Attack through a mixup in what they thought BUMP meant. Their first song they ever played was a cover of the song Stand by Me, which is also the same name of the movie being referenced in video games Red and Blue. If that wasn’t interesting enough, they formed as a band just a couple weeks before the release of these games too. It’s as if no other band would have been a more perfect fit to make a song and music video for The Pokémon Company. Throughout the music video there is so much display of high production in its animation. The Pokémon anime is already a visual marvel, but watching this video it sort of makes you wonder what an anime that looked like this and had a more wondrous premise that focused more on the characters in game and mirrored the experiences in the video games would be like. Everything is colorful, vibrant, and radiant; a rainbow overlaying the setting and it’s characters makes up a majority of the video. As you continue through the music video you’ll watch our male and female trainers with Pikachu and Eevee respectively as their partner Pokémon. Afterwards a large sequence of familiar faces jump into frame, some standing next to and interacting with characters of that same home generation and series. You’ll witness some characters standing next to their Pokémon teams and others even battling with them. The cinematography is so well shot and framed with everyone present well animated and exercising their personalities through body and face that it will send shivers down your spine that these characters are more real than ever before. Other things you’ll see are the type expert mashup, where each specialtist (gym leader, elite four, and island challenge leaders) are all seen together by their type specialty, all evil team leaders, the main player avatars and their rivals (including a showdown between Ethan and Red atop Mt. Silver), every legendary Pokémon (including a Mewtwo appearance which references Mewtwo Strikes Back), all the Pokémon professors, every single starter Pokémon, and even a reference to every post-game battle area including the the Battle Frontier, Battle Subway, and Battle Tree. BUMP OF CHICKEN - Gotcha! was able to fit in every bit of life into this video and managed to create a nostalgia ride that every Pokémon fan with love. The music itself, in my opinion, comes second. The music is so good and that’s to no surprise. You can’t expect anything less from this band. I say, give this a listen and a watch and after spending just a few moments of returning to the Pokémon World it might just suck you back in and have you revisiting those memories of old.
It flashes way too much to understand anything. There is no plot. I was curious, why this is so high in rankings and... pokemon nostalgia, they say? The only thing that deserves high score there is art. Technically, it's pretty nice done. If you're into art, then you will like this video. Sound is ok, but nothing outstanding there I like AMV videos in general, collected a fair bunch of them, but this one, while being official, is not on the bright side. Again: it flashes too much, and it shows nothing particulary interesting. People faces, that dash around for like 0.5 second, aren't very appealing (i mean,i even know some of them, but what is so cool aboout it? All in all, it has zero sense, and it's impossible for me to enjoy art when it constantly flashes. But art itself is beautiful, so its probably worth 2 minutes of your life (and if you are a pokefan, then it is a must watch, this is pretty obvious)
Absolutely amazing. Can't believe I didn't watch this earlier this is literally made with so much love and care? The animation is gorgeous the music is awesome and there is so many really well integrated references to like every character in the pokémon games? Everything is incredibly well animated and the animation is very smooth and nice on the eyes to watch and every frame is so filled with details that you could watch the music video again and again and still find more little details you didn't catch earlier. Absolutely amazing I would recommend for any fan of the pokémon games 10/10 mademe cry
I loved this short music video, the colours and sounds show what can happen when two giants of their industries get together and work on the same project. I liked how in the first half the pokemon that were covered by blocks of colour, were covered in their primary/main colours. I just wish we got to see more of Wally than just his back shot. It was really cool seeing pokemon show love to all generations from gen 1 all the way up to their current generation, with no one generation being given priority over another. Just a heads up to anyone that has photo-sensitivitiesthere is a lot of flashing colours and this might trigger something in some people.
Pokemon has long been a part of my childhood. It inspired me in so many ways and created so many unforgettable memories. That being said, Gotcha! was one of those works that I just don't get. Sure, some of its aspects were absolutely breathtaking, but on the other hand, so much of the actual music video was just a disappointment. Maybe I put too many expectations when I watched this, but at the end of the day, although I enjoyed it, I can't say that this rekindled my nostalgia for pokemon in any way. Story: 4 This is honestly already a high rating for this animation. Therereally wasn't any real story that was told, but it did show glimpses into some of the most memorable moments throughout each of the pokemon games. At the end of the day, this section is pretty bare-bones and honestly boring and disappointing. Art: 10 Oh god, this was beautifully made. The animation was some of the best I've seen in a while, and watching the fluent depictions of each of the fights was magical. The retro effects added so much aesthetics to this piece of art, and honestly, it made this music video so worth it for me. It helps me forget about the non-existent story or anything else that I found less than satisfactory about this work. Sound: 5 Hot take, but I don't really like the song. I'm not really familiar with the artist behind it either, but at the end of the day, the song was just extremely generic. Considering that this was a music video, I was heavily expecting something outstanding in the music department but was left disappointed by what I've received. However, the music does fit the ideas that were shown in the video, so at least the music works. It just doesn't do anything exciting. Character: 9 What else do I say about this? Some of my favourite characters from video games compiled into a music video is definitely something I've been wanting for a while. Sure, I may be blinded by nostalgia for this part, but at the end of the day, these are definitely were definitely a welcomed return. Enjoyment: 6 I was really torn between the fantastic animation and characters, and the subpar storyline and sound design. At the end of the day, I found it good, but nothing extraordinary. Overall: 6 As stated in my enjoyment category, I found this work good, but it was held back extremely by the song and story. However, it is a well-deserved music video that expresses the nostalgic values behind the decades of memories created by pokemon for millions upon millions of people.
This made me really happy and really sad. Happy becuase man, this is amazing. Probably it is the best thing that I have ever seen on Pokemon animation. The animation was like some more mature animes and the musc was a master piece. I love how Bump of the Chicken did that OST. But at the same time it makes me sad because that shows howcould have been and how it wasn't. It was like "hey, this anime could have evolved, forgetting Ash arcs and introduce new characters as main and see what could have been. But instead we give you poorer animation and isokay".
This vid came out of nowhere, and it instantly became one of my favorite things ever. The animation is incredible, there are so much frames and every single one with astonishing drawings and effects. Expressions, colors, overall direction and music tell complete stories with so little time. As a Pokémon fan since the Red/Blue/Yellow days, I was almost crying by the end of it. After watching this I started remembering lots of Pokémon memories from my childhood, and that's when you know a nostalgia video was a success. Now I can't stop watching it, I want a physical version of any kind and 4K releaseASAP. I know this won't become an anime of any kind (and if it does, it wont be as pretty), but I don't really think I need one. This was all I needed to see The Pokémon Company really takes in account old fans of the franchise.
In my entire life as a viewer of anime, I have never once watched a single Pokemon episode, movie, OVA, or game. It's not that I have anything against Pokemon, it's just that it seemed aimed more towards young kids, and even as a kid, I never liked childish anime. I was always into Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Grave of the Fireflies, etc... So, I just never watched. I know plenty of the characters like Pikachu, Ash, Misty, Mew-Two, Renamon, Gardevoir, etc... simply because you can't be an anime fan and not hear of them. But, I've never actually sat and watched anythingPokemon related before today. I only watched this because I was looking for things highly rated that I haven't already seen. It was just a music video and I like Bump of Chicken, so why not? I have to say, as someone who knows nothing of the lore, or characters, I could still feel the emotion of this. I felt like, if I was a Pokemon fan, I would be flipping out like Pokemon fans did. It was very well animated, the music was great, and even though I only know the names of certain characters and nothing else, I still felt a tinge of nostalgia myself because I've seen them around for over 20 years. I could only imagine if something like this was made for Hunter X Hunter, how hard I would flip out. You know you've done good when you can make non-fans appreciate a tribute made specifically for fans. I'll probably never sit down and actually watch Pokemon, but this kind of makes me want to.
Okay! So, I grew up watching, playing and loving Pokemon. My earliest memories involve Pokemon! This means I love this animation to death. I grew up loving every single generation. I grew up in a poor family so I didn't play many games, but I remember waking up and staying up just watching every Pokemon episode that aired on TV. I watched every single movie... you could say I'm a superfan. So watching this made me cry a little! This review is kind of unscripted but yeah... I have no complaints. The art and animation is amazing! As expected from Studio Bones! The characters are full oflife and even though most appear for a brief second, you can really tell what their personalities are through their body gestures. The girl with the pigtails and the guy with the black hair are also full of life, even though we never even seen them before. Studio Bones did a really good job portraying their characters. I really hope to see them in an anime. The Generation 5 scenes though... I kind of cried, you know? Generation 5 is by far the best story in my opinion, so seeing the transition from the happy Gen 7 to Gen 5 made me so sad. I really liked N as a character and I'll always like his character. And the scene with Chen, Bianca and Hilbert, transitioning to Chen, Bianca and Nate really hit me in the feels too, because the change from BW to BW2 was so drastic, including Chen and Bianca growing up with Hilbert and Hilda nowhere to be found. The sound is amazing too! Bump of Chicken is one of my favorite bands and they never disappoint with their music. The beautiful instruments and the vocalist... damn! I can't get enough! I find myself listening to Acacia over and over again. I could talk all day about the animation but the director... props to him too! Thanks so much Rie Matsumoto for this! He also directed Kekkai Sensen, and I knew it from the scene where the shadows of the legendary pokemon circled the unnamed girl and boy. I also knew it because the whole video just gave me memories of Kekkai Sensen. What an amazing director. Overall it's a 10/10. I watched the video about 30 times already. I can never get tired of it. There's nothing else like it and I'm so grateful. Sorry for the messy review. Like I said I'm just fangirling and pouring all of my emotions out.
I usually don't even add music videos to my list, let alone score them. This one pulled a 10 right out of my soul tho. Content-wise, it delivers what the Pokemon youtube channel animations usually deliver. It has a very basic plot, a million awesome nostalgic easter eggs and heavily features the latest game. The amount of awesome nostalgic easter eggs is the differential tho, it literally features every relevant character and legendary ever, and the more you look the more you find. Where this stands out as a freakishly great work of art is with the too good to be true animation+music. If youasked me for a band to do anything for an anime it's likely I'd suggest BUMP OF CHIKEN (one of the best ops ever in 3-gatsu no Lion, one of the best eds ever also in 3-gatsu and the only good thing about Kekkai Sensen), and most people would agree that Bones is about as good as studios get. Most Pokemon short films have great quality, Studio Colorido just did a great job with Pokemon: Twilight Wings for example, but this one is just in a whole other level. As a music video there's only so much you can do about plot, and this is as good as it gets in music, enjoyment and art. It's a weird 10 in the middle of incredible anime but giving what this is supposed to be it absolutely deserves it.
I watch this video for breakfast. This is the best thing I've ever seen. 10/10 will watch as many times as possible. Makes my heart do the happy. Big respect for anyone and everyone who worked on this masterpiece. This video hits right in the nostalgia for Pokemon fans of all generations and ages, highlighting the characters throughout the years in beautifully done animation, and an equally amazing song to go with it. Wonderfully done work of art that really makes people fall in love with the Pokemon series all over again. A much needed shining star in a dark time.
