Series History

Yoshi and Thorn planned to abridge Pokemon Origins as early as its release in October 2013. Despite saying that they would at multiple points on TheMidnightFrogs Podcast starting with Podcast 33, "Sonic!", Yoshi and BigTUnit1's heavy work and school schedules prevented anything from forming for years. In June 2016, abridging group Team Four Star, best known for Dragonball Z Abridged and for being a collective of the most well-known abridgers, announced an abridging contest that would last until the end of the month. Thorn was interested in making a video for the contest, and he thought it was a good excuse to finally abridge Origins; Yoshi was on board as long as they went with Origins, and Travis had previously mentioned a desire to abridge a Pokemon video (he wasn't available to work on PMDA: Fire Red Version).

The miniseries was originally planned as a one-shot until the contest announcement, wherein the rules stated that the video had to be under 10 minutes, and Origins is an hour-and-a-half in total length. Thorn, Yoshi and Travis's brainstorming for the special was so fruitful that they decided to abridge each individual episode on its own; they would submit the first episode to the contest and abridge the rest later. Thorn teased that a new secret project was being developed for the contest throughout June, until he fully announced HICYM on June 23. Episode 1 is set for release on the 30th.
