I love how this went from a simple parody to a full-fledged series
-
What started as a parody became one of the darkest, most thought provoking and emotional series ever.
-
Charmander is unironically an amazingly written character
-
So that's why Ash got pikachu.
-
This went from a silly parody to an amazing story. No regrets in following this series for almost 10 years now.
-
With a 1.5 hour runtime, I can now confidently state that Starter Squad is more than half complete. Two episodes to go. Starter Squad: Episode 11 is currently in production. I'm not yet confident enough to announce a release date, but it features a longer runtime than Episode 10 and contains a few really ambitious scenes. Thank you in advance for your patience and thank you for watching.
-
1:59 a whole war started because of this little guy 💀
-
The look in Squirtles eyes as Nidorina stares at him gave me literal goosebumps
-
I like how a parody series that started off as one-off joke has one of the most genuinely horrifying depictions of missingno to date.
-
The voice actors, the animators, the plot. I don’t think there’s anyone who is so impatient but we all love the series!
-
Episode 1: comedy parody Episode 10: death. guilt. trauma.
-
Charmander is coming in Epidode 11 as a Gastly, guys. There is a chance he could come back, without reversing all the character development, this way.
-
I love how horrifying they make “the lizard” sound when he is just barely bigger than the caterpies.
-
It’s so incredible this man took 9 years to make 10 legendary episodes,I’m gonna cry if the series end such good times.The OG times.A whole era would be gone.Thank you Shippiddge.
-
Never get tired of re watching this series out of the blue - I sure do hope the passion is still there to continue this series. You've made such an amazing impact w/ this story to the point that it feels like an Anime waiting for that S2 after a major cliffhanger <3
-
When Charmander died i legit cried move
-
I'll miss Charmander, but I like the amount of character development Squirtle got from the war and all that.
-
Take as much time as you need for Episode Eleven. We’ll be here supporting you, and the series itself. Good night, and good luck.
-
This will make a impact in history forever. This is an amazing masterpiece, I will never look at the starter Pokémon the same ever again.
-
1:05:10 "you were always in this for yourself charmander!" THEN WHY DID HE COME TO SAVE YOU?!?!?!?
