i absolutely lost it when karen called jigglypuff kirby w all the confidence in the world 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I love Karen confidently calling Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise all Bulbasaur 😅😂

My favorite Gen I Pokémon, at this point, is easily Psyduck. Just so relatable. "KIRBY!" had me dying. Anyone else reflexively saying "water type" and "psychic type" and so on whenever Karen referred to a section by the background color?

Timestamps all the Bulbasaurs start to appear: 13:59 = tiny, bald Bulbasaur, 14:08 = big, flying dragon Bulbasaur, 14:13 = spiral Bulbasaur, 14:20 = bigger, darker blue Bulbasaur, 14:30 = biggest, cannon Bulbasaur, 14:32 = high level view of all the blue Bulbasaurs.

Karen not liking Mr. Mime is so funny and honestly based, he’s freaky

The Kirby/Jigglypuff part was hilarious but "Pokémon potatoes" was gold lmao. I'm calling them that from now on

I love the names/references you were giving them. Snorlax being called Totoro is so funny 💚💚💚

I'm 2 minutes in and already laughing tears. "I know nothing about pokemon, I just like puzzles" is such a vibe. I felt the same doing the 1000p pokemun puzzle. And you trying to name them, so funny. Very relatable. It made my day.

I would watch a 3 hour video of karen trying to name each of the.pokemon

As a pokemon fan I adored that you didn’t know any of the names and just geeked out on the puzzle aspect. This was a great watch!!

I am 81 and remember my grandsons loving Pokemons. I love your enthusiasm and talent for doing puzzles. I am a frustrated puzzle solver so I do smaller ones, which is OK for my old brain to cope with 🤗 Cheers from Aus. 🇦🇺

Surprising! Karen seems like the kind of person who could’ve been heavily invested into Pokemon as a kid.

Day one: "I don't know any of these little guys!" Day two: "Look at Origami-friend and Totoro! This puzzle is so entertaining I burnt my lunch!" Day three: blank stare of puzzle fever "....I rose at the crack of dawn...... TO PUZZLE ON! Move out of my way Kirby!"

I think it's fine you don't know the Pokemon but the Kirby part had me HOWLIN'. And the Totoro/Snorlax comparison was cute. I've never done a puzzle bigger than 1000 but you made this one seem so straightforward and chill that maybe I should do a 5k one at some point lol

Sitting down on the sofa and declaring that you are too comfy to get up and continue for the rest of the day, only to get back to it within 30 min because you got bored is such a mood.

The time it took you to just sort the pieces hit me like a ton of bricks, you poor soul 😢 In all seriousness though, I absolutely love your energy! You just give off such wholesome “enthusiastic mom/aunt trying to get into Pokémon to surprise her kids” vibes and I am living for it! P.S. when you were trying to figure out which one was Bulbasaur (it’s the little teal frog guy with the big bud on its back) I swear I felt a piece of me die inside

Admit it, you just wanted to trigger us Pokémon nerds with that intro 😂

a very lovely detail in this puzzle that someone not into pokemon may have missed is that they're not just divided by color, but rather by type. each pokemon have a type attached to them, and those types are water, fire, grass, electric, psychic, normal, and ground. there's actually more types, like dragon, metal, and dark, but those aren't included in this puzzle. a pokemon's type means it can do different things--notice that the psychic pokemon have one holding a hypnosis charm, and others holding spoons (to bend with his mind, see). the bulbasaur you were looking for is a grass type, so he's actually in the bottom left--he's got a bulb on his back, since he's kind of a plant. each pokemon evolve into bigger versions of themselves, so when you got tripped up on which was bulbasaur, you were close! they're all the same creature evolved into bigger types. the starter ones everyone's usually talking about that are featured on this box are bulbasaur (the tiny little plant turtle), ivysaur (the turtle with a pink flower that hasn't yet bloomed), and venusaur (the big turtle with a flower). then there's the fire types, charmander (the orange lizard with fire on his tail), charmeleon (the red lizard with fire on his tail), and charizard (the big dragon with blue wings and.. you guessed it, fire on his tail). and finally, the water ones, squirtle (the blue turtle with a curled tail), wartortle (the blue turtle with wings on his head), and blastoise (the big turtle with giant cannons coming out of his shell). starters are the pokemon you can pick from to begin your journey in the first video game. squirtle is my favorite of the three starters, but my all time favorite pokemon is psyduck! he's the little duck in the water section holding his head :) sorry this is a lot of information! i just really like pokemon and only recently got into it a couple years ago, so from someone who also had to learn this all from scratch to another, don't worry about it too hard! they sure are just funny little animals. great job with the puzzle! and i bet your favorite is kirby ;)

I think that not knowing the pokemon made this even more entertaining in a good way! i LOLed so hard when she said kirby with such confidence
