Poliwag

Um, um, A fun little fact about Politoed.

If Poliwag and Poliwhirl, which are the unevolved versions of Politoed, hear its echoing cry, they respond by gathering from far and wide.

So there you go.

Politoed.

The voice in my head was correcting me.

So...

Poliwag and Poliwhirl,

yeah.

Sure.

Trainers! Which Pokemon comes first? Poliwag, Poliwhirl, or Poliwrath?

Ooh, Josh, good question for you.

So first in the episode or appears first in the series? I'm just going to say which one

Those could all be medication as far as I'm concerned.

Oh my god.

Ask your doctor about Poliwag.

So remember, Josh, Pokemon go through evolutions and they have stages.

Interesting fact, did you know Pikachu wasn't originally the mascot of Pokemon? Nope.

At first, other Pokemon got more attention, like Poliwag or Clefairy.

Pikachu wasn't chosen until the anime came out.

The bosses thought Pikachu was cuter and more universally lovable.

And why do you think there's a joy in every Pokecenter, okay? This is not normal, folks.

That's exciting.

Misty was very happy about that.

Back when Poliwag was a big deal and, and-

Such a big deal

... and Pokemon, uh, s-

They, they made a bet on that.

They were just like, "Every piece of merch is going to be Pikachu and Poliwag." [laughs]

Um, you know why that, why Poliwag was so featured? Satoshi Tajiri, creator of Pokemon, favorite Pokemon is Poliwag.

Oh, okay.

Totodile, use your Tackle.

Oh yeah, Poliwag.

Poliw-

The battle begins.
