hi mikey
Hi
Hi
Hi
Hello
really love your breakdown on this! strategy is really key in being the best pokémon trainer around 🏅
Yo CZcams commenting on Mikey's video??
Nah what's this bs comment it's got nothing to do with the video
Ratio
oh my lawdy lawd im early to a CZcams COMMENT? ez like farms!!!
What the-
I'm honestly happy Gen 5 did the "new gen only" thing because it left such a mark on me that I still do it to this day. Makes each of my teams feel super unique.
Exactly it was kinda weird at first but felt so good to not use old gen pokemon and rather strictly only new gen pokemon
I use the new gen mons every time I play a new gen anyway so it didn't matter much to me
For me it was the opposite. I liked using a couple of old Pokemon on my team which is why I didn't enjoy gen 5 all that much
Same
i honestly didnt know pokemon when gen 5 arrived and didnt know that info but since i started liking pokemon i only did my teams with pokemon from that gen
After the EXP Share change, I started training up at least 3 teams per title. The levelling just got that much faster. I enjoy being able to use more mons and theorycraft more widely
I remember making two teams in my first pokemon X game
I used one team for gyms and the second for battle chateau (what do you know its fun when you are the one openly challenging the players 😂 )
I got two pseudo legandaries in there
Hydreigon and Salamance maybe the first time I actually had pseudo legendary do something
The discussion of the sun and moon team gave *me* nostalgia. Binge-watching that playthrough is what first got me into pokemon.
Same here. Replay that game multiple times a year with his playthough running in the background.
The thing I love about every gen of Pokémon, is that every team is going to be different. Whether you use new Pokémon or old, they are never the same team for the first playthrough.
Actually, every time I would play the same team
Mainly because pokemon never has every pokemon in the same game but yeah
sinnoh
Not sinnoh teams thou since gen 4 players have only 2 braincells to repeat every thing
My Son Used Magnezone Three Times(same for Alolan Exeggutor)
I love that this is his third time covering this particular topic, and he still manages to make it engaging and fun. Respect.
I dunno. Maybe it's me personally, but while I do enjoy his content and have been subbed for years, it gets a little tiresome listening to him constantly obsess over his favorites and the ones he typically uses again and again. Anyone who follows along with his playthroughs already knows which Pokemon he's used on a team because he tends to mention it in a lot of his other videos. So seeing this exact same "All my previous teams" video pop up again every time a new Gen game comes out just makes me skip over this video. Not trying to hate because I do greatly appreciate the entertainment over the years. Again, just a personal nitpick over this one topic in particular.
@@DukeDarkshadow you clearly didint skip this one lol
@@DukeDarkshadow Mikey is my favorite PokeTuber for sure. For various reasons. But I'm with you on that. I didn't click this video because I was curious which Pokémon he used. And besides Scarlet, where I watched his entire Playthrough on his second channel, I actually didn't know any of his other previous teams, because I somehow haven't watched those earlier videos.
And yet I already had a pretty clear idea of which Pokémon he had on his teams. Because after watching enough of his videos, you get a pretty clear idea of what Pokémon he likes/dislikes. Honestly, I'm watching him for his personal entertainment-value (is that a word?). Like, watching his gameplay is... really boring. The last parts of the Scarlet playthrough were aweful to watch in terms of gameplay, because he just decided to cheese everything with some (competitive?) Baxcalibur setup. Which made the normally interesting and suspenseful battles... bland and boring. The interesting part about that playthrough was seeing his commentaries and reactions to the story and glitches.
Again, love his videos and all. Just his habit of going semi-competitive in a normal playthrough kinda irks me.
@@akitsuki3802 dude use less commas u have them like every three words it makes it really hard to read
@@Qoobon_ I did though. I came to the comments simply to leave my two cents.
I loved the hard league in Brilliant Diamond. I know Pokemon has to assume each game will be some kid's first game so they have to make it easier, but since it wasn't my first game, I had a blast going up against competitive-level teams. I wish they would have the option to make the league harder in Scarlet and Violet.
Only redeeming qualities about those games was the held items and competitive strategies in the league, as well as the underground
yea i feel like every game should have a hard mode like bw not that i want it but it would be nice for other people
@@wills3210I disagree, the movement speed upgrade made sinnoh actually bearable and playable. I hated how slow gen 4 was as a whole and it made it borderline unplayable for me. And I've been playing since r/b came out stateside
I thoroughly enjoyed bdsp
As someone who knows nothing about Pokémon other than the type chart and other basic stuff the league was horrific
Maybe if it was a hard mode but most let's players had to replace or rely on Friendship
You can actually get a dawn stone before Wally gives it to you, its a reward from secret super training... It just takes around 5ish hours of grinding to unlock it, which when I ended up tackling Omega Ruby, I did. Had a Gallade before the third gym, and 15 hours of playtime.
ur dedication is admiring for that pokemon
I did the same thing, actually. But since Gen 6 is my favorite generation of games, I was able to beat the Super Training in about 3 hours.
(A good tip is to use a Pokemon with the green skill icon. Pokémon with the green skill icon do the most damage with their shots.)
Looking forward to using Gallade in my first ever playthrough of the Hoenn region in Omega Ruby!
@@N.EO-Quartz good luck
Fun fact: You can get a dawn stone in the remake hoenn games by super training. It will take a while but faster than waiting to get one from wally
Was checking to see if anyone else said this. Yeah it's way easier, that's what I did too
Same
Yeah I just did this immediately after Ralts evolved into Kirlia so it was nice 😅
I think I've also read you can get one from somewhere in the abandoned ship, I think the creepy magic sisters specifically, but it's only a 5% chance there.
Yeah that makes it much easier
My theory with BDSP was that it was only made because the higher ups at Nintendo thought that Legends Arceus by itself was too risky. BDSP was never intended to exist, hence why it's so bad.
No
Honestly, explains so much
I thought it was interesting that you usually DIDN'T use more than six 'mons. I literally ALWAYS do throughout a playthrough and the total number of Pokemon I use in a regular run usually ends up pretty massive.
Yeah, me too! I usually have 8 that are in regular rotation, with another 10 that were used occasionally/situationally.
I sometimes to mixing and matching until I can get the main pokemon I want for my team. I used Staraptor until my brother could give me a razor fang for Gligar and get a Gliscor to replace it, for example
Happened to me in X that used only 5, 6th ended up being a breed of the gift Lucario
I think one big draw of replaying Pokémon games vs other games, is the experience is going to be entirely different depending on the team you have. If you play a game like Kingdom Hearts for example again, it's not gonna be much different in a replay. But with Pokémon, while the story will be the same, how you play and maneuver will be entirely different depending on what team you have.
This is evident in playthroughs Mikey's done for content over the years. It's what makes Pokémon feel more....immersive and lived in for games. You and your friend could have entirely different experience with the same game because of the teams you had. And that's exciting.
Why is this an essay?
@@erdrick7995Why not ig?
Very well written! That's why I've replayed Pokémon games more than any other games. I love coming up with new teams. And while yes I will use the same favorite team multiple times, I like to branch out and try underrated Pokémon like Seviper and Grumpig.
@@AlfieriV I love using Gardevoir whenever it's available because it's quite strong with Calm Mind + Physic or Calm Mind+ Dazzling Gleam/Moonblast.
So I see it as a second starter.
@@erdrick7995 bruh its 5 sentences
God, this created a Ratatouille style memory. My first game was Crystal. My team was Feraligatr, Ursaring, Togetic (because I always use gift Pokemon first time around), a Hoothoot (purely for flying), and a Pupitar. As you can tell, I was 8 and my Feraligatr carried the whole team.
Tbf your team seems class
My first gen 2 team had three water types
*First gen 4-2 game
There is a term for this. It’s called a Madeleine Moment. It comes from Proust, who described how eating a madeleine cake reminded him of his mother's kisses.
@@intergalactic92 That's neat! However, due to memes and overall popularity, Ratatouille memory is something most people can identify pretty easily as well.
love how mikey and grunty boi’s friendship has evolved
I love it when you can get a new appreciation of an older generation Pokemon in a newer game. In Pokemon Ultra Moon, I used a Mismagius. In Pokemon Violet, I'm using a Lilligant after I gained an appreciation for it's Hisuian counterpart.
anyone who uses misdreavus has good taste
unless you're jerk in wich case your on your own (:
*WE DON'T USE THE WORD ITS AS A PRONOUN IF THERE'S AN APOSTROPHE IN IT!*
@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866 IT'S YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN, NOT YOUR ON YOUR OWN! AND THERE SHOULD BE 2 H'S IN WHICH!
@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866 I can't believe the grammar police found this post
@@rakurai4953 i know, weird
Hey, I like Drifblim. That Pokemon has helped me through several playthroughs since I discovered it in Pokemon X. Very bulky due to its high HP and strong physical attack moves it can learn. And its flying type also made it my main Pokemon to learn fly and that also makes it immune to ground moves (as well as Normal and Fighting moves thanks to its ghost typing.) Very underrated Pokemon in my opinion.
Not Many pokemon with three immunities to common attack types. Driftblim is sick
Great movepool, great design, decent typing, terrible stats, niche ability. Drifblim or however you spell it kinda sucks tbh. Then again 90% of pokemon can only be used on playthroughs are meh and half of those are easily forgettable. Can't have good pokemon tho without bad ones to compare it to I guess.
Agreed It’s Actually My 2nd Favorite Line
random thought i got while watching, i feel like an ability called “evaporator” would be kinda cool, makes the users fire moves super effective on water types, and possibly making water moves deal neutral damage to the pokemon with the ability
I think it works better if it's just a move similar to Freeze-Dry
That's way too op imo if it was added would have to be signature to a bad mon
You can actually get a dawn stone prior to the first gym in ORAS. If you grind the super training till one of your mons is maxed out, you get access to secret super training, where the 6th level is gallade - you have a solid chance to get a dawn stone from it.
True, but it's so tedious that the only person I know to have done it is ChaoticMeatball.
Ahhh, someone already commented this. My comment is now not as cool ;)
I made the same comment in the previous ‘every game team’ video Mikey made. I am surprised that more people don’t know this. I did the grind for it because I wanted to use Gallade in a shiny only play-through of Alpha Sapphire.
@@dawnsbuneary Literally how I learned that was a thing
@@nehalhasnaeen4121 I did the exact same thing - I didn't wanna use a basic gardevoir but I didn't wanna wait till the league
I was a dragon tamer for Violet. Accidentally stumbled onto the Pokemon battle jump bug that got me on the ridge over the first Pokemon center caught all the dragons up there plus a riolu and had a pretty rough time early game do to tiny move pools and needing a butt load of xp for levels but it got amazing once the mid game hit and things started to evolve. Highly recommend for a challenge playthrough good times
Ahhh the nostalgia: I too used all three starters in Yellow, my first Pokemon game... but I also used Pidgeot as a flier, Nidoqueen as a useful Ground type and Jolteon because I boxed Pikachu immediately 😂
Tip for anyone who would want to use a gallade in a future playthrough of ORAS, you can actually get a dawn stone way earlier than the Wally fight at the inverse battle stop in Mauville City.
I think you also can get one from super training?
@@hess4win725Yes, you can get a lot of evolution stones from the super training. I played all through the super training quickly just so I could unlock the level that you can get a dawn stone from.
6:39 I agree. luxray and staraptor stayed on my team along with infernape since I was a kid at the time of playing it. These three are huge sweepers, with Fly on staraptor, spark on luxray and flamethrower on infernape. 1 hit KOs were so easy to get in those games though, so most of the game was pretty easy (not including Cynthia, Cynthia was SO hard to beat).
But I think megnezone is way much better pick than luxray because of it's dual typing and high sp atk
Krookodile is the coolest gen 5 pokemon
Agreed
Nice opinion. It may not be my favorite but hey everyone loves Krookidile and if you dont... WHO ARE YOU
@@maryannmcconnell1049 Krookodile is spelled with 3 O's, not 2 I's!
I think it’s funny how you have an exact reason for putting every Pokémon on your team and then my reasons are just “I put Pawmi on my team cuz I think he’s adorable :)”
Starmie is really good too, you can solo with it, Blastoise, or Lapras due to their type coverage, Starmie and Lapras being able to learn psychic moves and electric to take out other water types.

Fun Fact:I played the Johto games on my 2ds, and I had a Kadabra that couldn't evolve because no one would trade with me. Ended up getting stuck at the elite 4 for literal years because of Karen. The day I beat that elite 4 was the most triumphant I've ever felt playing a Pokémon game.
Edit: Feel free to share your Pokémon stories. I'll see them.
Same but I got stuck on Hala in Sun and Moon- My first pokemon game
I got Shining Pearl the Christmas it came out, but got stuck on Cynthia and still haven’t beat it 🥲
@@burntbwak I got up to Candice before I lost the cartridge.
I played Gold as my first Johto playthrough.
Same as you, I only had a Kadabra and a Haunter since I got nobody to trade with. I was stuck getting beaten by Lance, until I discovered I can teach my Feraligatr Ice Punch.
From then on, it was a cake walk.
@@h1murashi Kadabra was my favorite so I just overleveled it to brute force the dark type elite 4 member with a psychic type Pokémon.
Love your scarlet team
Nice to see someone else gave Quaquaval a shot during their first time in Paldea. Using Aqua Step to set up can really come in clutch
Cat goat
Gator goat
6:45 interesting to see when you started using only new Pokémon/forms
I myself started that in Gen 8 and 9 so going back to older regions, especially Gen 6, has been difficult for me since there’s a lot of “new” Pokémon that I never used before but at the same time I wanna try some of the Mega Evolutions.
I love coming back from a weekend of backpacking and getting to watch multiple days worth of poketuber content
It's great to see how much your team has evolved throughout the years. Thanks for making this video.👍
My first game was b&w and over time I learned everything from type advantages and weaknesses and which moves and sets to use and then started playing other games and kept on growing
That is an awesome game to start with, mine was Yellow and my gosh it was a nightmare
Mine is platinum but i think my real interest really start at bw
Mine was Alpha Sapphire
My first was Emerald
Started with let’s go but never finished it, the first finished game for me was legends. Man, Volo was so hard.
I love this video concept so much. I love keeping my original team from my first playthrough of a region. What's awesome though is when I was young I only had a GameBoy Advance and FireRed. I never wanted to get rid of my original team but I wanted to play the game over again so I would start a new file and never save it, but I never finished any of those playthroughs lol I would always re-restart 😅
17:37 yep, I had that awakening too as an adult. I still remember the first time ever using Swords Dance. The main reason was that I never bothered to think about what the stats even mean. Everything changed when I found out that there are stats and special and physical attacks.
I have seen every one of your team videos the day they came out and I appreciate them more and more for the nostalgia. Thank you Mikey for being there for the amount of time you have becoming my favorite youtuber. Keep doing what you´ŕe doing :)
I just watched the old version of this the other day. Great to see an updated version!
I love my Gen 1, 4 and 9 teams the best!
1. Charizard, Alakazam, Lapras, Jolteon, Rhydon and Dragonite
2. Infernape, Roserade, Togekiss, Garchomp, Weavile and Electivire
3. Meowscarada, Armorouge, Annihilape, Palafin, Gholdengo and Baxcalibur.
ARMAROUGE IS SPELLED WITH 2 A'S, NOT 2 O'S!
I loved my X & Legends teams, but my very favourite "1st playthrough" team was when I EV breed a team of eevees in Sun & had a friend help me trade them into Ultra Moon where I hatched them & immediately transferred Glaceon back so it could evolve & then sent it (+ the evolution stones) back. I honestly just love the design of lots of ice types & always wished I could use one on a playthrough team, so I made it happen ^^
11:15 you can get dawn stones via super training
One of the things I always think funny to hear is how as a kid most people ignored status moves, but I loved those moves when I played as a kid. Literally I had realized the usefulness of these moves and I always had one on my pokémon team. 😃
OBS: I have to detail that at the time I played without knowing what I was playing, since I'm Brazilian and the games were only in English, that is, I discovered these things even without knowing how to read absolutely nothing in English with 9 years old. Yes, I'm really proud of it😆
i think i speak for most viewers when i say that id like a video going over your non official pokemon game teams, like insurgence, uranium and glazed from back in 2018.
regardless, great video as usual!
9:49 YES! SOME LOVE FOR MY BOY!
The N in some is supposed to be an M! We do not refer to Pokemon as a boy or a girl! And stop typing in all caps!
@@Amelia4111 You absolute hypocrite

@@Amelia4111But he’s my boy
@@Amelia4111 you literally just said don’t type in all caps and yet you are doing it here
You are a hypocrite
My first game was OG Blue, and yes, I only used Blastoise because I was young and didn't understand how the game worked. But I also figured out how to teambuild as time went on, and made some very strong teams that I'm very proud of.
As a long time fan of yours I remember these teams. It's always great to see them as we have similar favorites. Our Diamond teams were identical except I used Kricketune instead of Dialga because I liked it's cry 😂.
Crazy to think I’ve been following and watching for YEARS now (since like lockdown?) Big love from Michigan Mikey!
I feel you Mikey. I used a pure Ground type team in Shining Pearl and was excited to use Rhyperior for the team only to find out it was a post game evolution. Thats why i didn't use Gliscore unfortunately
GLISCOR DOES NOT END WITH AN E!
@@Amelia4111 shut
11:22 It isn’t actually the earliest! If you Max out your Pokémon’s stats (I think) you can get a dawn stone through a gallade training thing I forgot what it called
Mikey: Typhlosion is the best of the Gen II starters.
Feraligatr: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
depends on which Johto game. In Gen 2 Typhlosion is the best, while in HGSS Feraligatr is the best
Mikey: Im gonna start using Psuedo Legands
Also Mikey: *Doesnt Use Garchomp in BDSP*

@@Amelia4111 You aren't involved neither, you came here to bully people so I highly suggest you get off the internet
agree about the dawn stone in omega and alpha cause i had to drag around a curlia the whole game until then but then wally became my favorite character
Sun was actually the first Pokemon game I owned, and while I missed my chance at catching a shiny Spearow, I managed to redeem myself by catching a shiny Bewear that I immediately put on my team. They were both full odds.
I started on Gen 2 Crystal and Feraligatr was always my go to ever since. Totodile looked really good for me back then and was probably the best on its generation. Shortly after, I restarted my save file where I got the 3 starters because of the Glitch.
That glitch was the best tbh I wish I could do it in the remakes but sadly can’t
10:25 dang he like that dad who got lost for 2 hours cause he refuses to ask for use directions
Yeah, I love these types of videos, please make more
14:55 he said “the Gliscor situation” like Gliscor got cancelled💀💀
Lol
HGSS also has the same Gliscor situation. You can catch a Gligar before the League but the Razor Fang is only available in the Battle Frontier BP Shop after the League
17:37 I felt this with my replay of Pokemon White.
I liked Lilligant a lot but didn't her very useful as a kid. She was pretty and managed to pull her weight just enough to stay on the team.
But now, with some help from my partner, I sweeped Ghetsis's entire team with just Quiver dance and Petal dance. The menacing theme getting downplayed by KO after KO
Hey fun fact ur comment has the farthest time stamp in the video, ain't that fun :D
2:49 Have you ever tried the fast ball? it's broken in gen 2 but it still works as intended with Grimer, Tangela and Magnemite. (Intended use: 4x catch rate if the pokemon can flee)
Mikey can take something simple like this and still make it entertaining and exciting!
My first Scarlet team included 4 of the same Pokémon you used, just with different steel and electric choices. I went with Orthworm and (breaking my new mons-only rule) Eelektross. I was simply too excited to have my favorite electric type finally available in a Switch title.
You mean you used Quaquaval, Armarouge, Eelektross, Toedscruel, Orthworm, and Baxcalibur?
7:11 happened to me a week ago, but cloud storage is an absolute win
You should check out how even more broken stat boosting moves were in gen 1 with the badge boost glitch adding an extra badge boost each time your stats are modified positively or negatively, so swords dance can double your attack and boost all your other stats by like 15%. It's ridiculous and wonderful. Highly recommended to play with it... probably on an emulator so you can speed up the game to get to the point where you can start abusing all those boosts for fun
My final team for violet was
Skeledirge
Tinkaton
Pawmot
Clodsire
Dondozo
Baxcalibur.
Also I've trained a lot of mons mainly for tera raids and stuff.
Four of those pokemon are ones I have used as well. Instead of Dondozo and Baxcalibur. I used Arboliva and Veluza.
Mikey you’re my favorite Pokémon content creator. I admire your dedication! Thank you for what you do!
Just recently played Pokemin Black 2 was using a Galvantula on my team. Learned just from gameplay that if it has Compound Eyes and is equipped with Wide Lens that it'll make Thunder become a 100% accuracy
THERE IS NO I IN POKEMON!
@@Amelia4111 Be Quiet.
There. Are you happy now?
I’m really glad I wasn’t the only one who struggled hard against the elite four
10:05 did a similar thing with Pokemon Scarlet. Didn't know how to evolve my Charcadet at all. I didnt know if it was Friendship, Fire Stone or what. Eventually, at level 70 (right before the league), i finally found out how to evolve it and got an Armarouge.
Finally his sword team is shown in one of these team showcasing videos, since the first one was before sword and shield were released, and the yearly team recaps were after he finished sword and shield.
I'm genuinely curious to know if at the time you had known that Venusaur in gen 1 mechanics crits with every hit of razor leaf, and if you didn't know that, would that have maybe swayed you towards keeping Venu? That was always a massive carry of reliable damage with the bonus of ignoring stat changes when I played through Blue as a kid, on top of the way leech seed and toxic stacked
I just started team sky playthrough of my own so what's next my captain my captain and thanks for all the really good ideas your so great go team sky!!!!
I know it's unpopular but I like using the underdogs. Like in Gen 1, poliwrath, Golbat, and one of the hitmons are always on my squad. Makes it a little more challenging and fun in my opinion
i used a delcatty in ORAS,i kept it as a skitty until i got Play rough at level 40 something.
used it for the league,the delta episode and the league rematch.
loved it
@@emeraldjolteon1472 using the lesser liked and weaker guys in a playthrough is the best
@@matthewchristopher16 agreed. i also used WIgglytuff for my Leaf Green,Lopunny for Platinum and Brilliant Diamond.
and Dachsbun for Scarlet
My red team was Venusaur, Raticate, Pidgeot, Pikachu, Gyrados, and Butterfree.
I chose Bulbasaur under the (correct) assumption it would be easy mode. Didn't know how difficult the game might be so I wanted to ease into the game. Constant struggle: the game is not my idea of fun.
Raticate stayed because it learned a variety of tms and I could have some coverage moves where my team either lacked the move type or I straight up didn't have a pokemon with said type. Plus hyper fang felt busted.
Pidgey because I knew I would need it; I had a general idea and understanding on type matchups. Viridian forest confirmed a couple of these interactions.
Pikachu was obvious because I needed another answer to water should bulbasaur go down. Plus it's an electric type that comes early on so how could I not pass it up.
Butterfree stayed because I failed to catch an Abra. It was also just easy to raise and was just nice to have a second flying coverage that included option to psybeam--then later psychic--things to death.
I had no idea what was getting into, buying the magicarp from the old man in the Mt moon pokecenter. It took so long to level up. I legitimately thought I got scammed, a level 18 magicarp could barely 3 shot a level 2 or 3. I was ready to box it if didn't evolve or _something_ by level 20. But it did evolve. Gyrados was a monster and I was in love with how cool it was, now happy i had stuck with it. The sprite went a long way into being the reason I liked it so much. Poor squirtle was robbed 😂
Yeah I can see that. In my most recent Ultra Moon playthrough I had a Marowak which was the only Pokemon in my team with a BST of less than 500, 425 to be exact, and it still kicked good ass. It was the only one who couldn't really use a Z-Move though since it's bone club thing was vital to it though, basically just being an item version of Huge Power, but I still liked it.
Azumarill was the same thing when I first played Kalos, though it was probably the only one aside from my starter consistently kicking ass. I also did a dog only team and used Slurpuff, mainly because the rom hack I was playing on didn't have Hisuian Zoroark. And these are just a few examples.
I'm currently doing a mono fire run in Violet and suspecting that either Scovillain or Coalossal will be this, moreso Coalossal since it has more weaknesses and the team wasn't actually built around him, it was built around using Scovillain.
In Scarlett I used 3 teams, one for every story. In the end I was never overleveled and I got to know 9 new Pokémon
My scarlet nuzlocke has been insane
You pull off the awesome beard well my man. I remember on my old copy of Pokemon silver before I learned how to replace the internal battery I would try to finish the game in one day and it was a struggle for months. And now I have finally put a fresh new battery in my Pokemon silver
while ORAS will always hold a special spot in my heart with my blaziken Edward, SV was so much fun to play and also my first ever time having a full shiny team before completing the game
just finished watching the video and it was nice to hear about your old teams again… this time along with your newer teams!
Hearing others playthrough teams are interesting to hear, with most of my teams I can't even remember what half the pokemon were when i beat the league, especially with Violet as i always rotated at least 1-2 pokemon out. I know the main 5 at the time were Skeledirge, Zangoose, Low-Key Toxtricity, Chien-Pao and a shiny Braviary (which i actively hunted for early on and refused to progress story until i got one in an outbreak)
Mikey: The most memorable thing about this team was-
Me: GOGOAAAAAAATTTTTTT IS BACKKKKKKK
I love how unique but still nostalgic all of the teams are!
Hey Mikey! Love your vids and keep up the great work!!!
I know that you say that the earliest you can get a dawn stone is with Wally before the league, and I thought that too. But then I realized you could get one even earlier by doing super training. I don’t blame you. Love your channel!

MandJTV casually returning after 2 weeks makes me smile as much as the time I found out he lives inside my walls
so true what you said about OP starters, my Charizard alone got me through fire red + zapdos and moltres to beat the elite 4
I know it's fairly standard but, the fact that your diamond team was only 1 off from being identical to my first diamond playthrough team made me smile; the only difference was Rapidash instead of Lucario😁
i hope mikey ranks his viewers teams again, that could be so fun!
I have a similar rule to yours of only using new Pokémon on a first playthrough. I have an additional rule that all my teams will have a water, a fire, an electric, a ground, and a psychic type on the team [the 6th member being one that covers whatever the other five don’t]. Sometimes I have to adapt [like using Aurorus as a pseudo-ground, since the only new ground types in Kalos are Diggersby and Zygarde]. This has worked pretty well for me so far.
All I can remember from my shining pearl team was:
Monferno (starter)
Pinsir (grand underground)
Staravia (first route)
Jirachi (floroma town)
11:53 the same thing happened to me in legends arceus a full odds shiny mime jr
Since you love team sky, why not do flying types then vs now? I love the series of how a certain type became now compared to the past, and I want you to do more of those videos
I remember when I played through older generations, I almost always had a Geodude, and its evolutions. It's useful against Team Rocket , and early pokemon in general. It was so consistent, I pretty much considered it my mascot. Even though my favorite type is water, not rock or ground. Granted, ground is not a bad type to try to make a mono team out of. I did make a mono team in sapphire, and enjoyed playing a rain team in gen 5 when I played simulator battles. I had a swift swimming, belly drumming Poliwrath as my ace.
Awesome teams
That Black 2 team rotation is nuts. I wouldn’t have the patience to train them all
11:05 I guess you never figured out that you could get a Dawn Stone from Super Training.
His videos are a lot more entertaining then they used to be. Keep up the good work
hilarious in every way possible
hey MandJTV I like your videos about pokemon I watch your video every time
You actually can get a dawn stone before Wally gives you one in victory road in ORAS. In order to do this you have get 7-9 super effective hits in the inverse battles in Mauville city. Technically this rewards you with a random evolution stone, but Dawn Stone is a potential reward. I remember this because my cousin and I were playing through ORAS at the same time and Gallade is one of his favorite pokemon. He was going to save scum until he got it but lucked out and got it on his first attempt. Now you might be wondering why he refused to use Gardevoir, well that's because of me. I used an ev trained modest nature Mega Gardevoir against him in a 6v6 battle and it swept his entire team. He has hated Gardevoir ever since. It's my favorite psychic type though.
This makes me think of my very first Pokemon game, Pearl. Predictably, I used an overleveled Empoleon through most of it, as well as Palkia, a Dialga I got from some random kid, and Giratina in the late-game. Also, random side-note, CZcams's auto-subtitles have decided that Grunty Boy's new name is...Tim.
