One Thousand Pokémon! 🥳

Seeing Pokemon organized this way in a montage should not have made me as emotional as it did.

Absolutely Insane, The editor need some raise, it brings so much nostalgia

All the languages, all the illustrations, all the evolution methods and art styles. Pokémon is practically a culture all its own. This franchise has inspired so many memories. To the editors in charge of this video, I can’t thank you enough for this masterpiece.

Music Used: - Wild Battle Intro (RBY) - Opening Sequence (RBY) - Title Screen (XY) - Wild Battle (RBY) - Wild Battle (BW) - Opening Sequence (RSE) - Route 26 (GSC) - Poké Flute (RBY) - Route 11 (RBY) - Evolution Theme (RBY) - Lake of Rage (GSC) - New Game (SM) - Northern Wild Area (SwSh) - Wild Battle (PLA) - Ultra Beasts Appear (USUM) - Aura Trio (XY) - Ultra Necrozma (USUM) - Gym Leader’s Final Pokémon (SV)

This may sound stupid, but I like how the footage included the games in different languages reminding you that pokemon isn't just big in Japan or the US but instead the entire world, love this franchise.

Whoever composed the music for this deserves a freaking raise

Pikachu being 25 after the first 8 sets of 3 starters, it's national dex number being 25 and appearing at 0:25 was so perfect

This is incredible

The fact that all starters from Gens 1 to 8 (basic forms) are 24 in total, just for Pikachu to appear at number 25 was both an amazing coincidence and great attention to detail.

for one brief moment... Ultra Necrozma's theme was the proud representative of every legendary Pokémon. as it should be.

Something I love so much about Pokemon is that no matter which of these 1008 creatures you look at, no matter how much you might not care for them, someone out there places it as their absolute favourite.

This video was so darn emotional. Thank you, Gamefreak, The Pokémon Company and Nintendo, for everything. Thank you. ;)

I actually cried during this because I was feeling so nostalgic and I remember there's so many times that Pokemon helped me when I was feeling sad and not in a good place

Now it sits at 1,025 — following all the new arrivals added in “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero”.

They really know how to capture the over all nostalgia of the fandom. This one seems to say: "We have grown so much, yet it feels like we hardly changed at all."

It's still absolutely insane to know that after 9 Generations of Pokemon, we FINALLY hit the 1000 Pokemon mark! This is absolutely incredible!

The way they organized all the Pokémon was brilliant as it’s the way in which we encountered them over the years, which in a way I think is more important than the Pokémon themselves. They’re more than just digital manifestations of creativity: in a way, they’re memory. Each individual Pokémon species, no matter how popular or unpopular they may be, means something of great importance to someone out there. Maybe not for how cool they are or how usable they are, but for what was going on in the trainer’s life when they first met the creature. Sure a lot of Pokémon encounters are similar, or even scripted to be exactly the same, but our experiences in meeting them are as varied as the Pokémon themselves. Perhaps you lost a loved one and catching a Pokémon returned some sense of normalcy to the world, or some aspect of the Pokémon reminded you of the person and helped you through your grief by immortalizing them through nicknaming the creature in their honor. Maybe you see a Pokémon and it reminds you of when you first caught it while sitting on a friend’s couch after school, keeping your childhood alive. Maybe you met the love of your life at a Pokémon tournament or through a trade. Every Pokémon is important and deserves to be celebrated, and so too is everyone who aspires to become a Pokémon Master. Happy 1000!

Couldn't stop smiling. This franchise has come a very long way. Thank you Gamefreak and Creatures Inc. for my childhood.
