Honest Game Trailers Season 1 Episode 22 POKEMON GOLD AND SILVER (Honest Game Trailers)
- November 25, 2014
In episode 22 of season 1 of Honest Game Trailers, the team tackles the classic game that stole the hearts of many back in the day, Pokemon Gold and Silver. In this episode, we are given an honest and humorous take on what made the game so enthralling, and just as importantly, what made it so absurd.
The episode starts out by introducing just how influential the original Pokemon games were, and how the franchise has managed to stay relevant throughout the years. Honesty Game Trailers then dives directly into Gold and Silver, explaining how they expanded on what made the original games so great. From new regions to explore, new Pokemon to catch, and a deeper story, the game proved to be a worthy follow-up to the original set of games.
What makes Honest Game Trailers so enjoyable is their ability to point out issues with the game that are still funny to this day. From the absurdity of the gym leaders to the lack of logic in the game's mechanics, Honest Game Trailers manages to make fun of what we all found ourselves ignoring as kids. Even the game's catchphrase, "Gotta catch em all" (which is now ingrained into popular culture), is hilariously brought into question.
But while the show does point out the game's silly moments, it also addresses what made the game so amazing. The ability to travel to two regions, Johto and Kanto, opened up a whole new world of possibilities. A deeper story involves you in the world of Pokemon more than ever before, and the ability to breed and evolve Pokemon made for a more dynamic gameplay experience.
What's also great about this episode is that the show's hosts are clearly passionate about the game. They know every nook and cranny of the game and are able to provide an in-depth analysis of it that most people wouldn't think to look for.
Overall, Honest Game Trailers season 1 episode 22 provides a hilarious yet sincere look into one of the most beloved games of all time. While it does a great job of making fun of the game's mistakes, it also manages to highlight what made the game so special. Whether it's nostalgia or a love of the franchise that drives you to watch this episode, Honest Game Trailers does not disappoint.
