#Pokemon #PM7 #PokemonScarletAndViolet - Hry
Look at it this way, John; Dunsparce got some attention and Castform didn't. And you'll be able to lord that over Mikey's head for years.
I love Dudunsparce
To be fair castform is perfection
@@lordmewthree7989 It really isn't.
@@lordmewthree7989 Cause... BOOBS
I really only like Dudunsparce because of how I found out about it - in the middle of the fight against Larry, my favorite of the new Gym Leaders.
Hey John, the NaCl is the chemical compound for salt, so the rock family is a salt rock
The naming for this generation is really on point
kind of. NaCl is a type of salt, the one we use as table salt
NNNNEEEERRRRDDD
@@Sharvictus That’s basic chemi-
if I finish this sentence will I be bullied off of CZcams?
@@diamonddrawsthegoat no because anybody who did basic chemistry in school knows this
What I noticed about Gen 9 designs is the artist really decided to make weird frightening "monsters" and some cute mons. Many will say "they do not look like Pokemon" but many seem to forget that Pokemon are monsters..."pocket monsters". Flamigo though it's just a flamingo, in the wild it is not an amigo. The damn thing chases you and its squawk is terrifying.
I think it’s an amigo with its own kind
@@kianakhaos8609 totally, I have it on my team and it kicks butt and I have it flying/following me on my adventure.
But the appeal of pokemon over the other monsters has always been they look more realistic than digimons and the others
@@theredandblueyakuza totally and if people look more in depth of the design of Digimon they look more like cartoons especially in the eyes.
will nye the science guy do do do d0
When you do end up getting a Kingambit (Bisharp evo), you’ll see the thing it sits on doesn’t float, but instead is used to zoom around whilst Kingambit screams in either joy or unparalleled terror. It genuinely made the effort of evolving it worth it, I ended up laughing for ages whilst it had the zoomies 😂
its sitting on its hair
@Haz This comment makes me want a Kingambit. zoomy zoomer zooming
Lmao it is
One thing I will say about Arbolivia is that when it’s in battle, it holds its long leafy arms over its head to form a leafy circle around it, and I think it looks great
Arboliva*
Fun fact: the "hat" on Fuecoco's evolution is a bird nest with an egg!
😊 then when it evolves, the egg hatches
Huh that’s cool
I love the tinkatink line it is one of my favourite Pokémon of all time and my favourite from this region
Same
I didnt expect it to be so greate tbh
@@raflusthebanana5838 yeah
Hi Lara
@@Juppi69 hi
I tryed hard not to be spoiled on the new game so the new Tentacool got me without warning and I laughed my ass off. I could sit here and watch this things running around all day, it just looks so stupid 😂
I saw jacks stream and his reaction was priceless 🤣🤣🤣
SQUIDWARD!!!!
It's not Tentacool. It is Toedscool.
The Salamence Paradox form makes me happy that they kinda acknowledged Mega evolution, I miss my flying Crossaint
Chein po the white tiger.
Gotta be one of the best Pokémon they have made in the game in my opinion
2:25 The evolution is so visually underwhelming that it makes Pawmi's evolutionary line seems like it came from Kanto.
Pawmi shouldn't have evolved. You can't change my mind
I like that it evolves but I don’t like the evolutions
We finally got an electric fighting pokemon and its garbage
It should of been a 2 stage evolution and not a 3 stage evolution to be honest, especially if it’s not going to change much with its final form
@@mrh8142 agreed, it should have been something like Dedenne
I think flogarato and grovyle are the best starter middle evolutions and meowscarada is one of my favourite starters
I also think people overplay the whole bipedal and humanoid thing, I couldn’t care less about it
Yup. Bipedal mons were there from gen 1 and they were hit. Everyone loved them. A couple of them were a miss recently and now suddenly everyone hates the entire bipedal thing.
The bipedal starter hate is completely unjustified cause everyone was upset that incineroar was a bipedal final stage however its entire gimic is that its a heel turn wrestler so it being bipedal makes sense
@@lordmewthree7989 People whine about fire/fighting being overplayed but 4 water and 4 grass starters didn't even change their types till the end. We also had 4 cases of a quad poké changing to a bipedal (Tepig, Fenniken, Litten, weed cat) which is absolutely nothing considering that aside from Snivy losing all its limbs and Oshawott going quad, they stayed whatever they were.
I like memeing stuff, but the poké fandom really has the bad habit of taking things that aren't problems but funny "haha 3 gens of fire fighting" and then completely overexaggerating and acting like it's some design issue with them.
The bipedal thing also seems to be mostly rooted in some weird hatred of Incineroar by a part of the fanbase and basically nothing else.
I love how Annihilape is based on the Pokédex entry that says “it has been so angry that it dies as a result”
Yessss
I love it!
Dad cursed
So angry in life that it died. So utterly furious on death that it came back as an undead
Honestly I love Meowscarada! It could have looked a lot worse, but I still think it's a well designed starter overall.
And no, I do not care that it turned from a cute cat into bipedal humanoid cat, frankly that starter trend has never bothered me in the slightest
Agree!
It’s not even that humanoid compared to last gen starters
I've grown attached to mine after having a made-up dramatic story. Plus, I named her after my cat, it was nice.
I like it but I like floragato a lot more and don’t want to evolve it
Glad I found people who agree.
Honestly, Dudunsparce is awesome. Like, when it comes to Dunsparce's appearance, there wasn't anything that really needed improving, it was always just the stats. And judging by how Dudunsparce looks, I feel like GameFreak must agree with me on that!
Dunsparce is perfection and therefore cannot be improved.
I’m really glad they didn’t give Dunsparce a cool evolution, it makes me so happy that Dudunsparce is just as weird and derpy as Dunsparce
This is exactly how I felt. It’s dunsparce but better
I love him
Michael will be happy about the moose pokemon. In his designing a new pokemon for every type he said he really wanted a dark type moose. Here you go Michael
Unpopular opinion: I love Dudunsparce, it has such a funny concept behind its somewhat underwhelming design. It has an awesome STAB move Hyper Drill which works through Protect!
Edit: Im famous 🥹
Im sad for dunsparce... it deserved better.
I love it too !
It's underwhelming but I'm interpreting it as a build up. I have a feeling when it'll get a final evo at some point that'll be absolutely awesome.
Gamefreak knew how much he needed an evo and I think deliberately made it underwhelming as a nod to the community but probably to also build up to a grand finale.
I love it. Kinda reminds me of the snake game where it slowly gets longer lol
Maybe but this is not how u do justice to a Pokemon who needed an evolution. Sirfetch'd, Kingambit, Farigiraf, Annihalape, Obstagoon and Cursola were far better in execution than this lackluster evo
@@heinshaaine8153 I mean. It can now use evolite and has a move on legendary level.
Spidops might be based off of an Ogre-Faced Spider, so the whole odd look it's got going on kinda suits it well.
I thought it looked like a digimon when I frist saw it
Ok, John, you know more about competitive which uses double battles. Try using Dondozo and Tatsugiri in a double battle together, it gets crazy. Also, there’s three different Tatsugiri that interact with Dondozo differently and I think they’re gonna be pretty decent in competitive at the very least
Personally I love Glimmet. Also the poison and fire type Pokémon of this generation were great
I personally loved Meowscarada. I mean it has a scarf that pretty much made it perfect for me, I love scarfs.
I love it, does it suck it stood up? Sure, but still a fun pokemon
Plus unlike delphox it's got personality and ✨style✨
I liked it too, but I mistook it for a phantom thief style instead of a magician.
yall are weird
@@LuneKnight1221
Seriously though why do people hate that a Pokemon stands up so much. That is something i will never understand when a lot of the most popular Pokemon including the ones that people feel identified with stand on two legs. Its the most ridiculous complaint ive ever withnessed on any game ive played. That is like if a Digimon fan said Renamon is a dumb piece of shit because it stands up, like wtf.
At first I didnt like many of these designs, but they have been growing on me recently.
I agree
seeing them in game really helped especially how they interact in the overworld
@@willnye9788Yeah, like seeing how Quaxly’s evolutions move around made me appreciate them more
Sameee
Same here
Probably gonna get the game for Christmas but annihilape looks absolutely dope
Lowkix is so freaking fast in the overworld too. Like I looked down to grab a drink and I look up and there's 2 of them on screen then they disappeared lol
I just noticed that Maraidon is Pokemon number 999. Gen 10's grass starter will probably be really memorable then
Actually.... we reache the pokemon #1010 ... Miraidon is not the last in the pokedex... Tinkatink is the #1000-#1002, then Charcadet's line (#1003-#1005), then the grass Tentacool (which he forgot to mention)(#1006-#1007) and the last mons are Kingambit (#1008), Clodsire (#1009) and Anihilape (#1010)
@@omarmoreno9821 oh
Here’s a tip: if you want Armarouge/Ceruledge early, you can get past the fire team star segment of the game to reach the city you get the evolution item, you can also do this before upgrading The legendary. Just go along the river next to the pokécentre (probably spelled that wrong) until you see a shallow portion in the other side, then get to the very edge of the ground and jump, if you time it right, you can get past the team star barrier without defeating the fire leader. Then head up to the city (I forgot the name) not the first one you see though, go through that city to the next one, there is a man who will trade you the armour you need to evolve your charcedet (depending on version) you need to give him 10 bronzor fragments in scarlet and 10 sinistea fragments in violet. then talk to him, trade, then use the armour to get your own Armarouge or Ceruledge. Hope this helped!
This helps a lot, thank you! Do you know if there's a way to get multiple of the evolution item?
@@-memoria-2136 yes, if you talk to the man again after getting the item you can give him 10 more bronzor/sinistea fragments to get another one
Houndstone really has saved my backside in the game more than few times with its signature move... Especially with the Ground Giant.
Also to evolve Gimmeghoul you need 999 Gimmighoul Coins. ...So... Hope you like hunting down Gimmighouls.
Grafaiai is such a dope Pokemon! You have no idea! It has so much going for it like the hoodie like design on its fur, the face looking like goggles and a safety mask and the typing is so fun!
I want it on my team!
its shiny kind of looks like Spider Gwen's mask
Can someone explain to me why a Shrew evolves into a Lemur, tho? Like, Remoraid and Octillery had the gun-cannon theme going more emphasized by their beta designs, but I just deadass am confused by a shrew with a mask evolving into a gangster tagger lemur.
Legendary names are Ko and Mi followed by 'raidon' pronounced "Ride-On". The joke is that you ride on the Pokemon, so the last part of their name is literally just that
As a japanese person, this made me chuckle.
It's probably intended, but their names are literally "korai" (ancient) "don" (dinosaur suffix) and "Mirai" (future) "don" (again, dinosaur suffix), and I just took it as that and never noticed that they probably intentionally also put ride/ride on/etc. into the name for english audiences since they nearly never translate legendary names.
As someone who's been a Dunsparce stan since Silver, I actually love Dudunsparce. I was always worried that I love Dunsparce too much that I wouldn't like his eventual evolution, but the fact they just took Dunsparce and made it MORE Dunsparce is absolutely perfect for his evo, imho.
The evolution could have been a little better it’s was dunsparce but bigger
@@kamdepedro6875 Yeah, they should of added one extra set of wings.
I mean they could have added some aspects and even made it have a different typing
@@kamdepedro6875 you can’t improve perfection
@@thederp9309 yes.
Dandozo is like the 3rd evolution of whishcash.
I saw Dondozo more like a cross between a catfish and Pufferfish (deflated) but could definitely see it is as an Evo for Whiscash
This is the best generation of new pokemon in a LONG while, but the developers seriously trolled us with the dunsparce evolution.
Wow, I genuinely didn't believe they'd ever make a dolphin Pokémon
Not me being completely disappointed with the starter evolutions, to meowscarda now becoming one of my ultimate favorite starters.
Meowscarada is in my top 10 favorite Pokemon, easily
same
insane
The Pokémon community: give dunsparce an evolution
Pokémon: fine here’s one now shut up
Me: the gave us one and it’s disappointing
PM7: putting sad music after he got a dunsparce to evolve only to get disappointed
The dolphin when switched in after being switched out turns into superhero dolphin
6:21 The only Reason your disappointed with the Dunsparce Evolution is cause YOU SET YOUR EXPECTATIONS TOO HIGH FOR ITS EVOLUTION.
WORD OF ADVICE, DON'T set your EXPECTATIONS Too HIGH or GET DISAPPOINTED.
Frankly, as far as the starters final evos, Meowscarada is the best one. It’s the fastest and it has the best signature move.
I think paldan Wooper's evolution is supposed to be a nod to Beta Wooper's design.
John- “ i just wish the dunsparce evolution was better”
me comforting my lil baby dudunsparce in the corner - “ no it’s ok, he’ll grow to love u, he just doesn’t know it yet”
I love Annihilape. His stats are also very good and his design is awesome.
So palafin a reference to superman, his design, his ability change forms by being switch out like how clark kent goes away and changes to superman, and the level that he evolves is actually a reference to "detective comics n°38" which was supermans first appereance
Idk, maybe it’s because I don’t really like the color red (did as a kid and now I really don’t) or the fact that I feel like he’s overhyped, but I don’t really like fuecoco and it’s line that much. He’s honestly my least favorite starter out of the three. There’s honestly so much worse than him in the fire starters, (and the fact that naturally I don’t really like the fire starters)
I’d honestly put Sprigatito on the top. Perhaps he stands on two legs but I’ve never seen something wrong with that. Pokémon aren’t supposed to JUST look like cute animals.
But yeah, I prefer Sprigatito, than Quaxly, then fuecoco. Idk. Fuecoco is just not my thing I guess
I'm so with you on Annihilape, pretty much my favorite pokemon now.
One thing I love about PM7 is he talks about the good of scarlet and violet, I feel his audience is toward younger people but I still feel he keeps it real and true to who he is as someone who is 24, but back to SV, yes it has flaws most specifically certain graphics / glitches, but it’s great seeing a CZcamsr talking good about SV rather than poketubers who only talk about the same 2-3 flaws with the game.
Fun fact about Dolphin's evo. It has two forms. The form you normally see it in is not the Super Hero form, but, rather, it's a form that, at first glance, looks like the pre-evolution, but, it has a heart on it's chest. It has the ability "Zero to Hero", and during combat, when you SWITCH IT OUT, it will transform, meaning once you send it back in, it will be in it's hero form AND have those high stats, otherwise it's stats in its "Zero" form are more like it's pre-evolution. Kinda like how in the old days, Superman, as Clark Kent, would be on scene of something going down, and would duck into a phone booth to change clothes, the idea of switching the dolphin out to change into it's Superhero costume basically calls back to things like that. It's also a Citizen (get it? Finizen, Citizen?) that becomes a hero through the power of friendship (not joking, you have to be in a union circle for it to evolve once it hits a certain level, otherwise, it will NEVER evolve), it's name also seems to show this, as it is everyone's PAL (with a fin).
Love the German name, Delfinator. lol
The idea of changing form comes from boto, a dolphin from south america that changes to a human form to chase women.
@@paulodelima5705 And while that might have something to do with it, the entire switching out to switch to a hero form comes from old superman comics and shows, and other superhero stuff.
@@forgerofsouls9126 And you think the pokemon being a blue Dolphin is just a coincidence.
@@paulodelima5705 Nowhere did I state such a thing, do not put words in my mouth. Not even sure why you'd think that.
@@forgerofsouls9126 "the ENTIRE switching out to switch to a hero form comes from ".
Meowscarada is awesome! It's a smug cat phantom thief! I named mine Morgana. Plus, it's stats, Hidden Ability, and signature move make it by far my favorite of the starters.
That Volcarona mecha form reminds me of the Ouroboros Albert Model W final boss fight in Rockman ZX Advent.
I’m genuinely glad we finally have an ice/dragon and fire/grass typing. Absolutely sick combos!
Kyurem has existed since 2010 brodi, but yes Grass/Fire, Poison/Steel, Fairy/Fighting and Ground/Fighting are all awesome combos I'm glad we have
**Kyurem left the chat**
Oh lol! Can’t believe I forgot about Kyurem. Whoops!
Still fire/grass was something I was hoping for like AGES.
@@BonazaiGirl to be fair, it’s still nice to have another one and one that isn’t a legendary
Hi John
Edit: im glad someone else see Mario Mushrooms from Nacli. Also that name is genius
I love to see that all these pokemon are no pushover
Look at those stat!!
For me, Ceruledge and Armorouge are easily one of the best designed Pokémon EVER!!! Like seriously I don’t care if “ThEY DOn’T LoOK LiKe PokEMon” cause 1. They look awesome and 2. They’re both really good in battle.
rellor is roller backwards and rabsca is scarab but mixed up
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, dudunsparce is a logical progression from regular dunsparce, having it evolve into some insane Chinese dragon looking thing is illogical
I didn't like Meowscarada at first but I really grew to love it during my playthrough. Easily my favorite new starter
Lechonk. Any more be said?
The fish legendary has a really nice looking blue shiny form. I hope they do events to distribute shiny ruins Pokémon because I would love to have one
I love Tandemaus and Maushold because it's so simplistic that it works. The designers must have heard how people call some of their designs boring, or simple and went all out with one of the most simplistic Pokémon designs ever; two nearly identical mice that looks like they were designed by an 8-year-old.
I also love how they'll evolve on their own, like it won't even show the evolution screen if it isn't first in your party, it will just become a Maushold when it gets to the right level. It's a nice nod to Pokémon breeding where the breeders just say that they find eggs with your Pokémon, and they don't know how it happened. Maushold basically implies Tandemause got jiggy with it in your party.
NaCl (Sodium chloride) is the chemical compound for salt, which I think is a genius incorporation for its names. However, its names are a little lacking lol
I was hoping for Sprigatito to stay on four legs but then Meowscarada happened and I LOVE it. Honestly Floragato is probably the best middle evolution of any starter for me. Meowscarada is incredible and anyone who says otherwise is a butthead.
Yes Meowscarada gang
Duck vs cat vs croc
Duck gang rise over the green kat
😂 could not agree more 🔥
Meowscarada gang!!!
Sounds like coping to me
I picked Fuecoco as my starter (named him Jalapeno), and honestly, I didn't like the middle evolution at first. My initial reaction was "God dammit, it's getting the Tepig treatment. Shit!" (I hate Pignite and Emboar very much). However, the longer I stared at it, the more it grew on me. Now, my boy Jalapeno is fully evolved, and I love him so much. He's the favorite child of my team (a very close second is Cookie the Dachsbun, she's my good girl), and he kinda acts like my trump card. The amount of times I've been in a tough spot and sent Jalapeno out, only for him to handle the situation with ease, is amazing. I love my fire croc so much.
I hate you Pignite and Emboar haters.
Good to know I’m not the only one who named their Fuecoco Jalapeño!
7:52 Toedscruel absolutely looks goofy and that's why I love it.
Wow I really love a majority of these designs. The only ones I didn't care for was the triple mice thing, couple of the robots and the Dunsparce evolution. (Disapointed) A big step up from last generations designs.
Sprigatito is NOT bad. Thats just not a bad design.
Nacli might be a Salt cube from the ground as well as literal mushrooms made into blocks.
Look it up. It's wild.
Mikey finally got his grass fire type
I personally think you will change your opinion on half these mons when you will have them in game. Meowscarada is by far the most interesting starter, giving Persona 5 Joker vibes all over.
And its signature move slaps!
@@tabassum3052 its by far the best starter in both typ and signature move
@@yukitaro6155 I love Meowscarada, but I'm not exactly sure if it's the best in terms of types. Speaking just numbers, Skeledirge has 5 weaknesses to 7 resistances + 2 immunities, compared to Meowscarada's 7 weaknesses to 6 resistances + 1 immunity
it’s not
2:50 they are made of paper, thats a new way to take normal types
You hate spidops and meowscarada?! They both look extremely cool!
Also dundunsparce is amazing because dunsparce is perfect the way it is.
This gen has such a good selection of Pokemon, I love almost all of these mons and I'm so excited to use all of them!
I definitely think palafin is my new favorite Pokémon (specifically hero form)
Great video, John! By the way, Koraidon and Miraidon are pronounced like Co-Ride-On and My-Ride-On (because you ride on them).
It's actually ME-rye-dawn, because "mirai", Japanese for "future"
“I will protect this dog with my life.”
Sounds familiar, maybe you WILL do that.
Whenever I hear Wugtrio I always think that it's like the WAAA version of Dugtrio, like how Mario has Wario, and Luigi has Waluigi, Dugtrio has Wugtrio
Whenever i see Spidops i can't help to look at its face and looks a lot like Squidward in my opinion even caught one and named it Squidops😆
I actually kinda like meowscarada design, idk why but it remind me less of Delphox but more of decidueye.
Dachsbun was the perfect opportunity to be the first Fire-Fairy type Pokémon.
Nacli, NAclstack, and Garganacl are my boys
I chose Sprigatito and I love It’s third evolution’s signature move “Flower Trick” 💐
Swear I'm in the 5% who actually like Meowscarada
You and me both dude.
Me to
I love it
i love them
Me too
I was trying to find this video yesterday and it was posted today. Worth the wait
That psychic dung beetle is literal perfection and I will absolutely be having it on my team if I can
In my opinion there are so many good fire and poison Pokémon and it's annoying cause I don't want to have many overlaps
Besides Sprigatito line, Tinkaton is my favorite pokemon in gen 9. It is so amazing to watch battle :3
10:09
That Dolphin has more 50 more base stats than a 50% Zygarde, just let that sink in for a second
Poor John !
I feel the same way about dundundundunsparce buddy lol
I love everything about the Fuecoco line.
The hat on Crocalor is not made of fire entirely, but marigolds that surround a fire egg.
Skeledirge's name comes from skeleton of course, and dirge, which is a lament of the dead. The firebird on his nose is FROM the fire egg that was on Crocalor's head, and gained a soul upon Crocalor evolving. Skeledirge's mouth is not encased in flames, but marigolds as well, which are often seen as a guide for spirits to find their families' offrendas. IT'S. SO. SPANISH. Like. Just. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. Even the name dirge comes from more religious based background, but why is religion so big in both Mexico and Spain? Because of the Spanish Inquisition. I love it.
Could the bird also be a Alebrije? A folklore creature that acts as guides and come in many different animals?
@@crcoghill I think the entire design could be based on an alebrije but the bird itself is based on Plover birds who have a symbiotic relationship with Egyptian Crocodiles
I really like Meowscarada, i think the mask could have been a little smaller tho.
I love the names of the Nacl line, especially the first one. You can basically call Nacl... Salt. Thus we now have a pokemon called "Salti"
Meowscarada is a op Pokemon it can 1 hit most things
John is definitely going to get a plushy bellibolt when they come out
KO-RAY-DON?! Do you pronounce Pikachu's evolution as Ray-chu? No! It's RYE-chu, so it's Ko-rye-don and Mi-rye-don. Both pretty much end with Rhydon. Yet you still say 'Fan-fy' instead of Fan-py...
Found Mikey's alt account 😂
I caught a shiny Jumpluff in Scarlet 20 min ago.
...Man... Gamefreak REALLY does hate Dunsparce. They literally went "Fine, let's make something up real quick so we are done with it..."
It's one thing when Shiny is barely different from original... But they just extended it a bit.
Wait...They actually made a chili-Pokemon for grass & fire? I honestly didn't expect that. I knew that it was a popular theory among the fans, but I didn't expect Gamefreak to actually put one into the games. So far, the designs don't seem to be bad. Some are still boring, but you have those in every generation. At least it seems to be better than gen 8, although that's not saying much, because it's my least favourite generation in terms of Pokemon-designs.
Your energy is so good. It makes me very happy
How to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengoh:
You know those roaming form Gimmighoul that you can interact with and get their coins? You need 999 of those coins, and then once you have the needed number of coins, upon leveling up your Gimmighoul will evolve into Gholdengoh.
Hope this helps!
Me And My Asian Wife (Maya-Minnie-Chu) Are On Our Honeymoon In New York City.
That’s lovely and all, but what does this have to do with the video?
I am also on honeymoon with your wife
Why do you need to specify she's Asian?
Man the designs of the pokémons this generation is unreal. Well done designers👏
