It's like, top five favorite shows.
- (Vincent) Last one: do you know it? - Pokémon.
- I've seen it. It's Pokémon.
- Pokémon, man, the greatest show of all time.
- Pokémon. (chortles) Pokémon.
- (Vincent) This is of course the theme
to the popular series Pokémon. - Yes, it is.

then you're literally living under a rock, like for real.
Like, even if you're living under a rock, that's Pokémon.
You know what Pokémon is.
- (Vincent) Pokémon is another huge anime franchise
that has stood the test of time,
with numerous movies, games, and trading cards.
The show's been in constant syndication
since it began nearly 20 years ago
and currently has aired over 900 episodes. - 900?
- Dang, that's a lot.
- What do they do for 900 episodes?
- The genius thing about Pokémon
is that they didn't just create a series;
they created a universe around it.
- I've been watching since season 1, episode 1.
On my 16-hour flight to Dubai, I watched 10 episodes in a row,
starting from season 1. The girl next to me was like,
"This kid's like 19. What is he watching?"
I'm like, "Pokémon. What do you mean?"
