>>45002100Bump of Chicken is one of Japan's most popular bands
The lead animator for this video is one of their top animators who hadn't done anything big since a One Piece Ad shilling chicken or something
This video is the first time many many pokemon characters were animated even if a brief frame of them
The video represents all gens Kanto all the way to Galar
In current times people are desprate for anything positive
The video invoked the feelings people have had for the franchise since they were small kids playing it on GBP for the first time
The relationship between the OC charactes and their Pikachu/Eevee are what players themselves feel towards their own pokemon
Remember how back then we had ads like the bus driver getting all the pokemon on his bus then running it through a crusher to mash all the pokemon into a gameboy pocket, effectively catching them all for his own amusement?
That era died now it'a all about finding favorites and running around the world with them just becaue you adore them so much and it became the main selling point of Pokemon go where all ads for the app constantly show normal people going about their daily with their favorite pokemon at their side
