It’s easy to forget how much merch Poliwhirl had in Gen 1, but they really tried to make it one of the iconic original Pokémon.
-
Poliwhirl was Satoshi Tajiri's favorite Pokémon, hence the favoritism it got back then. I kinda miss the days of Poliwhirl popularity, if I'm being honest.
-
The figures that came out during gen 1 pokemon were the best. Like the ones that came with the Gameboy ball thing were genuinely quality imo
-
I find it funny how John genuinely likes almost every thing he was sent, almost like a kid on Christmas Day
-
Fun Fact: I heard that before Pikachu was cemented as the top mascot, the company tried a bunch of different pokemon to see which one would stick and Poliwhirl was one of them.
-
I'm going to guess the reason why there was so much Poliwag and Poliwhirl merch was because Poliwag was the favorite pokemon of the creator. Also it was a very important pokemon in the 1st gen manga, being Red's first pokemon there.

5:41 FROAKIE HIT THE GYM

Poliwhirl was the creator’s favorite Pokémon. That’s why it was pushed so hard. The Welch’s jar was a series of jelly jars that they had Pokémon art on for a bit.

Mikey: Shows off the fact that he owns Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire Meanwhile, John:

I love John's pure childlike, joy with the pokemon beyblades. The pure joy in his voice is just incredible.
-
This was the funniest PM7 video I've ever watched lmao. I couldn't stop laughing. This was edited so well. It might be my fav video from him so far
-
9:13 I also remember Poliwhirl being one of the most commonly featured Pokemon in merch in the gen 1 days.
-
16:30 The look of pure, unadulterated joy and child-like innocence that came across this man's face is NOT to be denied
-
At least you're knowingly doing this, unlike Purplecliffe who constantly having his credit card stolen by his editors
-
bro, the door knock was so realistic for me
-
17:06 That magnemite definitly has sturdy.
-
The Lickitung toy reaction was pure gold
-
I'd be careful with the pokeball that came with the Poliwhirl Keychain if I were you, John. I had 3 from the gen 4 era as a kid and the spring that allows the Pokeballs to open broke after a while. Maybe your pokeball has a stronger spring since it's from the 90s and it's been sealed for years. But I'd still be careful.
-
10:04 I actually still have this exact Poliwhirl card, which I found in a Value Village. It didn't come with the pokeball case or the Certificate since it was bundled in a bag full of random stuff, but I still cherish it in one of my TCG deck boxes alongside my favorite decks I've assembled.
-
OMG that Poliwhirl plush at 11:40 brought back early childhood memories! My brother had that one, and we both had Meowth! I put a hair tie on my Meowth's tail so we knew which one was which. This brought me so much joy seeing you open it, and I hope it brings you some joy as well John!
