HOLY CRAP IT’S HERE

Lokrongl

I must wait another two days: I have to be there with the same people I initially watched this series with

Jayce

Thank you so much Shippiddge, and honestly, I didn’t even care it took a while. I’m still grateful. Happy New Year’s Eve, bro 🎉🎉🎉

Cody

Thanks so much for releasing this Shippiddge! Take care of yourself and have a Happy New Years! 🎉

Euan Gray

That was definitely the best episode so far, I can’t wait for the final one in 5 years!

Ciaran0607

Being in the credits is AWESOME!

Joe Davison

Best episode ever. And being in the credits is amazing.

Dragon

This was amazing... thank you Shipp!!

Benny Yau

A masterpiece! Congratulations, Shipp! You did it again.

Kruczek

Now I celebrate New Year, but I know what is my first thing when I return

macs

Take a break Shipp! You deserve it! :)

George Hatton

I feel honoured to have my contribution help towards you creating such an amazingly crafted series with such amazing quality and epic payoff. You really overdid yourself again Shipp and made the references and callbacks feel perfectly placed and well earned! Spending New Years Day 2026 watching this episode gives me such high hopes for this year, so I thank you for everything you’ve done to encapsulate the amazing vision you had for this series in the ways you wanted it exactly! I wish you a fantastic 2026 ahead and the all the best in preparing the finale episode!

Battu

My goodness, I feel so happy to be part of this patreon! That episode is fantastic! it really makes me want to get off my butt and animate something! Fantastic work! Thanks for continuing this project!

Zavier

I never thought that time travel will be involved, but at least Charmander is back and not dead. Overall great episode, and take your time on episode 12, and I hope the ending of the series will be great.

Zavier

How do you think the series is going to end?

CaptnNutzaq

I've been loving this series since the start and this might be the best episode so far. Now that im much older, I finally have the power to join your patreon. Never thought this series would be so big and inspired, yet here we are. Thank you shippiddge for making a series ill never forget.

George Hatton

If time travel is still involved, it may involve the starters working with Mewtwo to perform a hard reset of all the actions that led from Red picking Squirtle instead of Charmander from the very first episode. Something along the lines of resulting defeating and subduing Missingno

Brandon Cheng

Incredible episode! This was a fantastic treat on New Years Eve.

Jared Ott

An amazing episode and take all the time you need on episode 12

Maximilian Vermilye

Dude casually dropped the peak of 2026 on DAY ONE!!! 🎊❤️

yosnak

I’m so happy, we made it soldiers. Until next time!

Lily

Congratulations, Shipp! It was a great episode, and I am so happy that Charmander is back.

Walt Cox

Worth the wait. Great job Shippiddge and team 👏👏

Nathan Jimenez

It was soooo good, I loved where the story went, and im soooo excited for epsiode 12. No matter how long it takes!

Divine Lemons

Was definitely worth the wait, thank you for delivering such an amazing episode.

Valor

Loved how this episode showed off how much everyone has grown. I can't wait for the finale

Katie Stapleton

It has been worth paying every dollar even when I was really tight on money. My partner and I talked about amazing and professional the animation looks right from the start of Episode 1. Nintendo should be hiring you. Thanks for staying strong and devoted to your passion even when life felt hard for you!!!

Shippiddge

Late reply, but thanks SO MUCH Benny. You're the tip top Patron for this one and I'm eternally grateful. Given how much you've contributed, hearing you call it a masterpiece warms me. I'm glad you liked it.

Shippiddge

I am eternally grateful Katie. Not only have you contributed for a long time, but you've contributed SO MUCH, so it makes me happy that you enjoy the final product.

Joe Davison

I appreciate how you didn’t show charmander in any of the screenshots for any of the updates, to keep that as a surprise.

Aaron Singer

I'm curious - do you have a day job? Or do u make enough from this that ur able to basically make this your job? I'd love for you to get your own tv show some day!! This is one of the best if not the best web series on the internet imo!!! :)

Shippiddge

I live very frugally and have been able to make rent with ad revenue alone. I quit my job to do this full time, but it didn’t make my output faster as I’d hoped it would. Instead, I found myself using up more and more time to pick at details, re-do parts, and take longer on pretty much everything. Thankfully, I’ve never had to dip into this Patreon funding for myself and have used 100% of it on software, assets, and freelancers. However, recent years without uploads haven’t been as kind to me and I may soon need to pick up some part time work again while tackling the behemoth that is Episode 12. I’d love to work on a proper show. I think I’ll need more of a team effort though and more hard deadlines. Leaving everything up to my discretion seems to stretch everything out time-wise because I tend to take forever and re-do so much to get it looking juuuust so - especially when there’s no technical “deadline” I have to meet.

Aaron Singer

Thanks for the response! I'm glad to hear it you've been able to do it full-time! And I feel you on the output not being faster, but the uptick in quality and detail is DEFINITELY noticed and appreciated by the fans! It's just so cool to see an independent project like this able to come to life and just be so freaking good!!! If you're ever able to get some kinda netflix series or something, I'm sure I and all your fans will follow! :)
