Fans are one of the main contributors to a franchise’s success. These may come in the forms of fan arts, fan videos, fan sites, fan fiction, fan clubs, and cosplay. One of the biggest contributions I’m about to tackle is fan videos.
Fan videos may contain contents from games, anime, movies, television series or even one’s own footage. But, the most popular type of fan videos is an AMV or Anime Music Video. An anime music video is a music video consisting of clips from one or more anime series or movies set to songs. These are usually fan-made unofficial videos. They can also be set to video game footages.
These days, AMV’s are widely popular among anime fans. And, “Pokemon” is one of the most popular anime used in these AMV’s.
There are tons and tons of “Pokemon” AMV’s scattered all over the Internet. Most of them can be found on video-hosting websites such as “YouTube” and “AnimeMusicVideos.org”. I myself make AMV’s and I use “Pokemon” as the anime of my choice. Below you can find sample “Pokemon” AMV’s. Enjoy!

And my very own “Pokemon” AMV.
I hope with this article, “Pokemon” fans will be able to make their own AMV’s and share it to the world, which at the same time, spreads the success of the “Pokemon” franchise.
