This is just lore accurate. The character just moved on from Kanto, of course they don't understand the local language yet.
Es gibt ein Spiel, in dem man mit einer Vogel-Figur die Sprache nicht sprechen kann.
What's the game
@handartgarfunkal Can you read, or are you just stupid
This makes it 1000 times funnier.
pokemon but smallant makes it 1000 times funnier
I've seen so many shorts based on this playthrough.
I immediately went "Oh, it's this one.".
Same
Yeah it's finally a video :D
Yep same
It’s been 3000 years 🧎♀️➡️🧎♂️➡️
its CRAZY how accurate his random translations are at times. I am really impressed
Sun and moons writing is just built like that
And other times he thinks someone gave him a “toy”
cognates really make the world go round huh
I can understand a bit of German by proxy, just from knowing English and Swedish, and I'm pretty sure he's not making "random translations" but rather just getting the gist at a glance. The languages are structurally similar and share many nouns (with slight variations of course).
people can interpret a lot from visuals.
The dialogue: *nothing to do with stairs*
Smant: ✨STAIRS✨
Smom talked about it in chat. I think.
stairs
I was nervous about this being in German, but then he started fake translating everything and I knew it would be just fine 😂
Vibes based translation is the only way
He was at least 60 percent accurate aswell and that's just really funny
@@DemBones1306 I mean, english and german have shared roots, so lots of words look similar or even identical
It's not even all "fake translating"; he seems to genuinely get the gist from most of it, at least the simple stuff.
Oh wow, it is THAT stream
I thought it would never be edited, but here it is.
It’s finally here
When was it?
@@locrianphantom3547 this was years ago right??
@@datlofiguy clean shaven Ant, this was definitely not from this year, unfortunately I have no idea when the stream was
@@locrianphantom3547 first stream was 27th July 2022 and the last one was 28th September 2022
This challenge was so hard, we saw smant go from baby face, to full grown beard/mustache, back to baby face.
It prematurely aged him, and eventually aged him so much that he wrapped around to being young again.
Whichever Jabroni in Twitch Chat decided that Ant had to release his strongest Pokemon upon every Game Over was definitely scheming to softlock him at Ultra Necrozma, XD
I mean less a softlock and more creating detours
@@The_Pikaboi I mean, I guess? I was assuming that if Ant wiped to Ultra Necrozma enough times, he wouldn't have any Pokemon left. IIRC he wasn't allowed to withdraw Pokemon from the PC in the challenge, was there a contingency for if he ran out of Pokemon?
@@brendansage6876 He could always catch more.
@@cullenhutchison6528 Oh yeah. With all of the insane rules, I somehow forgot that this wasn't a Nuzlocke, lmao. It would definitely still have been miserable grinding up another team to fight him with though.
@@brendansage6876 yeah she's stupidly hard for no reason lmao
2:08 "I want women brooooo"
- Smallant 2022
Yes
*now* i understand the context!
@@purplenanite yeah lol
Who wouldn’t?
Bro same
it's so funny how he doesn't lose pokemon permanently at all like in a nuzlocke yet he's way more afraid of letting them faint, physical punishment is way more exciting!
If he whites out he has to abandon his current best Pokémon.
@@sora15151SomethingAppropriateHe seemed way more upset at having to do push-ups though
I love your approximations of the story lmao
"How about we find out with a Pokemon battle...
...another time." *walks away*
Team Skull is honestly the best part about the german localization (apart from Pokémon names, there's actually quite a few that I prefer over the english ones). The mix between modern slang and some random out-of-pocket words like "Balg" (a derogatory way to say "kid"), which is something I have never heard someone below the age of 45 say, just gets me sometimes.
Learning how each language handles their localization is honestly pretty fun. They more or less have the ability to translate it to whatever they want to and there’s some hilarious translations because of it
Another example: In the Pikachu valley where the dude who does the quiz says "Mein lieber Scholli" which basically nobody says anymore but its always funny (translates to something like "damn im impressed" but like there is no accurate word by word translation)
@@caromell_ Funnily enough, I genuinely use Mein lieber Scholli on the regular, just like Heidewitzka and Holla die Waldfee.
I'm mean, honestly, Team Skull and Guzma is probably the best part about the Gen 7 games in general
@@samahissimplistic Team Skull are legit the only team that's comparable to Team Rocket as far as villain groups. Gen 7 in general is very underrated I think, they put more focus on the story and I'd say it has the best of the lot. The only real downsides are how much it hand holds you in the beginning, and how overall easy it is (which is a common issue since gen 6).
As an Austrian this was beyond enjoyable ( I can’t get mad about his pronunciation because it sounds more like German then our Dialect)
[German] agreed
[German] yep, somehow the Canadian outplayed you. We still love you.
Hey! german here, i agree
Ihr seid noch näher als Bayern
Jawui isso wia san hoit scho awengal aundas xD
I liked seeing the thumbnail version of smallant who is very clearly in distress and then clicking on the video and seeing a much more whimsical version in a very happy propeller hat
"You see, this was Tanner _before_ the Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon incident. Witness the true story of what happened to transform him into the man that he is today..."
The fact that he had to demonstrate how he used to hang under stairs while playing his ds by drawing a diagram is fucking hilarious.
“You just took like 7 words and mashed them into one?”
He IS learning German!
people that watched this stream know that 2 and a half hours is an insanely short video to encapsulate what went down during this run.
it took an ENTIRE HOUR to even begin playing the game. GGs editor
To be fair compared to some other challenges Tanner has done, an hour isn't much time at all.
I will catch one shiny for each like this comment gets! (Edit I made a short about this tag smant because he will decide which pokemon I will hunt and if I stream it) Edit2: It is stopped at 10x of every pokemon BTW so it keeps going when new gens are released tho
oh poor you
Yep you’re cooked
Good luck
Oh no he pinned you, welp good luck
go for a hatterene
20:03 for anyone who doesn't know, regardless if Smant accidentally visited the palace or not, he would've had to go through that tutorial. Yes, that long ass explanation of something only a handful of players would've done if not forced upon them
Love these games. Wish it wasn't designed like that tho 😭
@@Deadflower019I too loved pokemon sun/moon.
I just wish… 75? Percent of the game was designed differently.
But aside from that I liked it.
@@daanstrik4293 literally every new pokemon game
Dread it, run from it, the destiny still arrives.
@bigboyhuandisimo6224 nah, I'd be happy with only like 30% of SV being redone
like the lag. Tbh, if SV had another year to bake, to optimize stuff and bugfix, it would be unarguably considered one of the best games
13:19 Odysseus vs the cyclops moment
God tier comment
homer reference lets go
Lol nobody
Is this an Epic reference 👀
This is truly a joke for Nobody.
this is basically a movie
yeah was unexpected, but it was definitely welcome
Oh, hey! I recognize you from watching Captain Sparklez play on the SDMP. Always cool to see random CZcamsrs "in the wild" like this lol
smant calling out biss and flugelshlag (idk german those spellings are wrong) like an anime character when he uses them made my day
They are actually as right as you can get them without knowing the language but an sh in German is sch and the ü can also be written as ue
@@skullknight630
Biss is to funny 😂
As a german this is hilarious
Don't forget all the supertranks!
i apologize to the whole country of Germany for smallant mistaking leafage for "butt twerk"
Hahah
As a German, I can say: I accept your apology. Smant is not the first to be confused by the complexity of our language.
Fun fact: I learned English as a kid by playing Pokémon. I had English lessons at school too, but I was more motivated to learn when playing Pokémon. To this day (20 years later), I still associate many words I learned with Pokémon. "Rare," "faint," and "substitute" are just a few that come to mind.
I'm sure Smallant will remember some of the words he learned in German for a long time too.
i did that with minecraft PE. Torch and Diamond sword, stone and dirt are pretty much the first words i learned lmao
Biss that Supertrank
Right off the bat I already know this will be hilarious. Can’t even be in English.
i hope jan watches this and laughs as much as i do with the "german"
The first pushups were cut so clean I thought he only did the on-screen 3 and went straight from 2 to 10
1 minute in and smallant saying "Djuh" when reading the "ja" already killed me.
Didn't expect to hear "Incel wander shaft" today.
Finally 2 1/2 hour smallant video
The video is not small it's large because the video is long and that probably means that the video is large file size
@@DolphinII_yep
@@DolphinII_You missed the joke
@@DolphinII_ wooosh and nerd (cuz u missed the joke and know file size stuff)
@@noahtaylor1721 oh I thought it was just some kid in the comments who refused to spell correctly
old timey cars in a traffic jam be like 40:42
😭😭
yoo smant responded
underrated comment
55:02 the fact that smallant predicted a major part of the story by complete accident is insane to me
He didn't though? Lusamine doesn't get mind controlled in USUM.
@@ashketchup58 yea agreed. Correct me if I'm wrong because I only played through Ultra Moon once and that was the only time i ever played a Alola game, but I remember that Lusamine is just blinded by her beliefs of wanting to keep everything beautiful, and Nihilego basically used her emotions and poisoned her and gave her more power by fusing with her. After she got unfused she was still blinded and then went after Necrozma and thats when the player and Lillie goes to the Altar and Lusamine and Guzma gets ejected by Necrozma.
@@ashketchup58 Wait I'm confused I remember the Lusamine Nihilego battle happening when I played Ultra Moon but i read through the wikis and stuff but see that her beliefs are changed and she didn't fuse... Feels like I'm being gaslighted by the internet hahaha. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, or maybe its the v1.2 update to the story?
@@julianheng1298that was exclusively just Sun and Moon, not the Ultra versions. Ultra Lusamine is not AS insane, and she goes to fight Necrozma, but fails in defeating it while having Guzma on her side.
@michaelthex2684 imagine losing to a Psychic type with a strong Bug specialist as an ally. tbh she deserved what she got
As a German I waited to long for this and it's finally here. Can't wait to watch the vid
Deutschland
es ist so schmerzhaft anzusehen wie er fast alles falsch ausspricht 😂
Ehrlich so😂
@@Baxinator69420naja Deutsch ist halt keine einfache Sprache
@@Baxinator69420 same it huts me😂😂😂😂😂
The character arc from "noo i don't want to do pushups" to "fair enough i'll do 10 pushups" is insane

Watching this as a person studying German is gonna be such a vibe
Same!
Yep
This . . . is scarily long. I also watched so many funny clips of this, and even tuned into the stream sometimes. This is gonna be great.
Thank you for making this 2+ hours, you do not know how much I appreciate an edited smallant video this long!
my favorite genre of entertainment is people live translating media from a language they don't know and just making up 80% of the story
Being in German is perfect because I still haven’t gotten around to beating sun and now I can watch without knowing a thing
Oh do ultra sun. It’s in my top 3 games of the series and it’s much better
@@RealSkello I'd say Ultra Sun is better in every regard except for the story, but most people don't play Pokémon games for the story anyways
@@potatoaim7904 Most people don't even READ the story in Pokemon anyways
@@anonanonymous9670They will still say the story sucks and is why modern pokemon is a crime against humanity
@@madrid_drive_enjoyer They will look at gifs of 3D models on showdown and say that models are bad even though they have lots of cool & fun animations

15:07 sockel, can be translated as socket which actually makes sense but you'd propably call it a pedestal
this is accurate to what it was like playing pokemon before i could read
THIS LIVESTREAM WAS LIKE OVER A YEAR AGO
ikr, i was here for the beggining of it lol
I THOUGHT THEY MADE THE VIDEO FOR THIS OVER A YEAR AGO ASWELL?
@@CR1MSONACEI swear I saw this video somewhere else
The vod vids were put on his vodchannel, this is just way shorter because it's been edited
I've been trying to learn german so watching this video quickly devolved into me trying to read every single text box as they came up.
How'd it go? Were you able to read much of it?
@@stetson_newsie2600 nope I gave up.
51:07 " There's way too much dialog and no context. *EGG!!* "
Me: "Ooh i never got around to playing Ultra Sun, maybe i can get a gist of the story from this stream."
Also Me: (desperately trying to remember how to read German)
I have to say it’s really impressive how much of the german dialogue he guessed correctly. Specially because he said he didn’t play this gen before
As an Austrian myself, this was so much fun to watch. Your pronunciations were the funniest part, because it sounds more like german than the austrian dialect lol
i just KNOW his german viewership skyrocketed with these. german people love this stuff (i would know, i'm one of them.)
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, SmallAnt!!
1:15:12 "You got the password?"
"Yes"
"Well okay then, carry on."
1:51 it took him 43 minutes to get his starter. I can't imagine what it's like to be a small ant live stream viewer
Smant really looked at the hardest game in the series and said "yeah I don't need to understand the language to do this"
4 year old me played it
@@ZeroRanger423 I'd personally argue that Platinum or HeartGold/SoulSilver are the hardest games in the series because of their less forgiving mechanics and potentially brutally difficult boss fights (Cyrus and Cynthia in Pt, and Clair and Red in HGSS, for example). Additionally there's no potential cheese systems like affection to save you.
These games are definitely up there though, Guzma, Lusamine, and of course Ultra Necrozma are still very scary bosses without a doubt.
@@brendansage6876 the thing is, USUM gives EVs to every pokemon in every single boss fight, even the minor ones. All Guzma fights? EVed. All Hau fights? EVed. All those trainers you can only fight after beating everyone else on the route? *EVed.*
USUM is genuinely brutal and the only way HGSS beats it is with its horrible level curve.
@@ZeroRanger423 Interesting, I didn't know that every trainer was EV'd up. I know that in Gens 4 and 5, several late game/final bosses are EV/IV trained (most obviously Cynthia, who's infamous for having a perfect EV/IV spread on her Pokemon). But giving EVs to basically everyone is pretty ridiculous, I'll concede. The top three games in terms of difficulty for me (Pt, USUM, HGSS) all are very close so I could be misremembering some things.
I need to replay these games, its been a while since I did a run of Gen 7 in particular.
@@brendansage6876 I highly recommend it! Personally I consider USUM to be second only to B2W2 in terms of polish, despite the long cutscenes and occasional lag spike.
Wer auch immer auf die Idee gekommen ist, die Sprache auf Deutsch zu stellen, ist eine Legende! Das macht es so genial, wenn man weiß, was eigentlich da steht
"I WAnT Wemen BrOOOO" - SmallAnt
i always see the clips from this challenge and as a german, they always make me laugh cause i understand everything so i am very hyped for this compilation, even though this was done like a year ago
39:06 Well, well, well, if only you have that poor grubbin you sacked earlier.
12:56 NOT INCEL WANDERSHAFT!
Fun fact: this is definitively the HARDEST Pokemon game at base. Most Boss Trainers actually have EVs and actual strategies (Elite 4 Molayne has a Klefki that T-Waves turn one and then sets Spikes) you first turn and sets up spikes)
The only game with something similar would be the endgame spike of BDSP, where they have actual competitive sets.
Pokemon Collosseum is challenging as well. Boss teams are difficult, all double battles, and there's no wild Pokemon, so no way to grind levels.
Nah. Gen 5 was much harder
@@tgags123HDYou can rematch trainers
Yeah im not surprised he breezes through it though because hes overleveled by about 10 levels most of the time and has a ton of potions by the late game lol
3:39 I am convinced this cut is from another reality where German Smant is playing in English
most underrated games in the whole series ngl, they’re legitimately so good
As someone who's learning German right now, the way Small Ant doesn’t know how to pronounce German words and simultaneously translates random phrases properly is so funny😭.
2:06:28
I... had no idea you could just... walk past Necrozma on Victory Road like that.....
Children with their parents' championship belts is just always the cutest thing.
All jokes aside his pronunciation of german words isn't even that bad. Gut gemacht KleineAmeise ☺
Naja, es geht, er kann Eis sagen das wars
@@Goalchamp Ein paar andere Worte waren eigentlich okay.
"Pokemon Ultra Sun but I get buff af"
Finally, a Pokemon challenge past gen 5. Gens 6 and 7 especially deserve more attention.
The fact it’s in German and no google makes it seem like smants going to forget some major mechanic till the elite 4
Smallant practically learned a whole language in a pokemon game
killing two shinies is wild. On the first I said "Shiny clause".
In most challenge runs, shinies just jank out the rules in terms of catching
So while I am German, this is the Gen I started playing in English so I don't have to learn two sets of Pokémon names. Time to learn the German ones now
Lusamine is called SAMANTHA? I'm never playing a pokemon game in german again holy shit!
Bro the propeller hat is actually a fire fit
Definitiv mein Lieblingsvideo weil KleineAmeise ein Alola Spiel zockt und das Spiel einfach auf deutsch ist und jetzt ist es noch editiert worden. Toll!
Choosing one of the most text/story heavy Pokémon games to play in a language you don't speak is certainly an idea
I'm German but haven't played any Pokemon games in that language ever since gen 6 finally allowed us to pick a different option regardless of our region... I think at this point the English names have replaced most of the German ones from gens 1-5 in my mind (which also leads to funny situations in which I can't remember either of them, oops)
Back in gen 6 I did a whole playthrough in French once despite knowing next to nothing about the language so I can relate to the confusion you will no doubt experience in this run!
This is going to be fun :)
As a German i think this Challenge was really entertaining, especially BC of the Game language😂😂
You did a good Job Smant! ;)
I remember how for some reason I chose Ultra Sun as the first time I would do a Nuzlocke... Ultra Necrozma made me give up and play regular again because he insta-wiped my team 😂
It's like a light Version of a nuzlocke but stamina based
Those streams were both incredibly funny and incredibly painful! Thank you Devine for editing this, it's amazing!
Hot take of the day: I love this game, and I think the soundtrack slaps.
The ultra games were the ones that should have been released, not both the first and ultra. Thats my take.
@@collector8502If gen 7 games had the same plot as normal UM and Rainbow Rocket and possibly Ultra Necrozma from Ultra as post game then it would have been better.
Gladion’s theme is one of the best in the series
@@collector8502 we take sun and moon original as a demo to the ultra games in this household.
Butt twerk dying, laughing legally I was dying 2:23
1:44:04 "I would die to save the president." That's a very topical statement given what happened literally YESTERDAY!!!
@devinecmd outstanding work in the editing department, whole video is clean as hell dude
ngl, for me that doesn't understand german. it was enjoyable and thank you smallant for the sincere translation
2:08 probably the most relatable thing ive ever heard smallant say
FINALLY THE CLIPS MAKE SENSE
I've been waiting for this to be a youtube video FOREVER
“Pokémon trainers have been getting fit thanks to this one easy challenge run, doctors hate it!”
Videos that are this long are reaaaaaally super enjoyable to watch !!
Thank for your content, awesome as always !
Oh ja ein deutsches Video mit der kleinen Ameise, da bin ich ja mal gespannt :)
Incel wonder shaft almost put me in my grave.
10/10 would German again
Never thought about this but if you literally translate moonblast from german to english it comes out as "moonviolence"! In actuality it's meant more as "moonpower" tho
This is the challenge that made Smant buff and German
i have waited for MONTHS to see this
i am so happy it's such a long video
that makes me very happy :D
Some people have been waiting for years
As a German, i see this as a W
imagine a german watching this and screaming at the camera when he gets something wrong.
This playthrough reminded me that despite USUM being a very cashgraby title and have a way too long introduction segment the game is actually as good as I remember and had a lot of cool fights with nice pokemon variety
I have been waiting for this video for so long, finally! Thank you smant!
