I kinda love that he always uses an in-universe reason for his monotype runs instead of just saying “bug monotype challenge in Unova, let’s go”
Yeah that’s what I love about these, he never breaks character
the only person strong enough to break his character is GRUNTY BOI but the one person stronger than GRUNTY BOI is TEAAM SKYYY
Michael doesn't do boring playthrough he tell a story
@@AH-re9guHoly crap a shiny. (sssavesss) QUICK BALL TIME! (get in the quick ball, it matchesss you perfectly)
@@MyNaymIsSnek1526 😆
I have so much respect for Leavanny, a pokemon with high defense, high attack, and the ability to learn to STAB physical moves and swords dance. Absolute legend.
@@Klausbro Ok, so? My Pokémon Black team had a Leavanny on it, and the Leavanny was really good.
@@alxcus2962 to be fair bug on its own sucks, but there are good ones like volcarona with the additional fire type
@@Klausbro talk to literally every single bug type that isn't orbeetle
I used it in ultra moon team what an insane mon
I like it’s because in the anime a it go leeeeeeeeeavaaaaannnnyyyyyyyyy
We never noticed that bug catchers disappeared after gen 4, but it does make sense. The first four regions took place in Japan where bug catching is a popular hobby while the later regions are based on places where bug catching is much less common.
You can argue that they were just merged with the Youngster in Gen 5, since a lot of Unova's Youngsters are unusually fond of Bug types.
funny that in the first 4 regions most bugs sucked except some like heracross and scizor but since gen5 they started getting high BST
I have to say I honestly never noticed if they still had bug catchers after gen 4 or not. But I also never really cared about them all that much.
Guzma is a former bug catcher, yeah?
It was so refreshing to see in Alola how the Team Boss was a bug specialist. It really shows his motivation as an underdog.
Underdog? Guzma kicked my ass multiple times. It’s the closest I’ve come to rage quitting a Pokémon game.
@@dubbingsync well I mean bug type is widely considered the weakest type. Also his older sister is implied to be Kahili, the flying type specialist and his rival was kukui who always has a rockruff/lycantoc. So he grew up an underdog.
Kahili's father is rich and isn't an abusive twat, Guzma's is a deadbeat who hits him. They're clearly not siblings when you take the time to look into this. Where the hell did that dumb headcanon come from?
@@BushSage how is he related to Kahili?
@@kitdoesstufflmao Well they both squat and have white hair and in Guzma's house, his dad has a bunch of golf clubs in the house. I'll be honest a lot of this was implied/speculation
I love how, in the canon of Mikey's character, he doesn't know anything about Unova but EVERYTHING about Unova's bugs.
This character's just so obsessively into Bug types that he doesn't care about anything else. He lives and breathes bugs.
sad unova is amazing
@@gengarzilla1685 bug breathing: first form
@@MozIleto he just inhales a catterpillar and exhales a butterfly. XD
@@modelomegatyler ok but, housing/nesting bugs within your body
Mikey: “SKYla, she flies a plane”
Also Mikey: *suppresses shouting Team Sky at the top of his lungs to stay in character*
I am foreseeing team sky takes to Unova
@@mennowouters3938 Yes
Speaking of Team Sky, when's he gonna have Team Sky take over Galar Region? The triple Dex thing means it's stacked with a lot of good Flying types he can dominate with. There is literally no reason why he wouldn't do it.
@@MrNITROPSYCHO the issue is that there isn’t anything major that’s sky-based (trainers mentioned are potential recruits)
Kanto and Hoenn are done
Johto has Falkner and either Ho-oh or Lugia
Unova has the Genies and Skyla
Kalos has YAHVALTAL and Sky battles
Alola had a flying starter and Celesteela and Kahili
Sinnoh has the same issue and, while this doesn’t disqualify Galar or Sinnoh, it *may* play a factor
@@Jorpda Uh, yeah, Galar has Corviknight, Team Yell (a villainous team Michael could see as 'up for anything'), and Macro Cosmos Air (they have Cosmos in their name and their delivery group are already people OF THE SKY)
The fact that Pokémon was created from a love of bug catching makes this video that much better. Sad it took me this long to see it, fantastic as always Mikey
Fax
Definitely one of the best things when you know about pokemons Backstory. Heck I think I'll do a big trainer myself soon
These “trainer type” runs are by far my fav, such as the team sky trainer vids or the dark type gym leader vid. And I can’t deny, part of why I love them so much is because of how well they’ve been edited. All killer, no filler!
I actually started doing my own Monotype runs after watching Mikey, I am currently doing a Ground run of Galar and I cannot get past Milo, But I will prevail
@@RodimusMinor1987 You are probably aslo gonna have some problems with Nessa :D
@@Lupinemancer87

Bug Catchers got really buffed up Pokémon starting in Unova, it’s crazy how much the Bug type changed between Sinnoh and Unova
Seriously. The only good Bug types in Sinnoh weren't FROM Sinnoh. lol
Useless to absolutely broken in a couple years
@@dragon-du6ew ikr, like, damn
The only unova bug type i have ever used was joltik/galvantula. When i use bug types i use the bug types of the gen. I never played any of the gen 5 games, so i never use any of them
I would say that they started becoming competitively viable starting gen 4, since that introduced the proper physical/special split, X-Scissor, and Bug Buzz, allowing bug types with actually good (special) attack stats to have stab moves, and not just Heracross with semi-accurate Megahorn. But gen 5, oof, they got an even larger boost from gen 4, on top of the great bug Pokémon introduced in this generation.
I never realized there weren't any Bug Catchers in Unova onwards. I guess after Bug Types actually got good they were too dangerous for some random kid with a net to take care of 😂
Fairly sure they came back for Kalos.
@@gengarzilla1685 They're in ORAS but I don't think they're in X and Y
Their last appearance was in gen 6, oras. They are not in kalos. But i wish they were still in the games… tho a bug catcher with a dottler in the early game could potentialy be tricky
@@visedchunk6920 I mean if we're counting remakes then their last appearance was in gen 8 via a game released like a month ago.
Right… forgot about bdsp
I love Mikey's commitment to the characters he does for these specialty playthroughs. That he pretends that he doesn't know these games better than anything in the world each time is fun
This generations rival has the most balls out of them all considering he PUNCHED A GRUNT IN THE FACE
Honestly 10/10 he earned my respect. Can’t wait for the remakes so I can play these games
@@the_j0llyrancher72 let's hope they do justice to these games. Not something like the Sinnoh remakes mess.
@@bluemoon7785 considering how poorly those sold i am hoping they learned a lesson about it. Hopefully.
@@the_j0llyrancher72maybe just buy a DS and the game to play them?...
@@MammothMoralsHave you seen how expensive the Gen 5 games are these days?
Should definitely do this challenge in Alola as well! Golisopod, Vikavolt, Ribombee, Araquanid (if you get the Totem maybe better than Golisopod) not to mention Buzzswole and Pheromosa. As well as many older gen bug types. I'd love to see this bug trainer go all the way!
Would that make Guzma their rival?
This would be cool but he would find using the Ultra Beasts boring for the content. I would love it tho
@@geki4269 It might not be an ultra beast, but Volcarona isn't that far off from one. And unlike the UBs this game gives you a Volcarona really early for a pokemon like that.
And galar with frosmoth, centiscorch, orbeetle, and gmax butterfree
Agree, I done it before and it was a blast. Funny how both The American Inspired Regions have the better bug type pokemon.
This madman named a mon with rollout “Autobot”. I salute you!
For anyone who heard about the sponsor and got concerned: Mikey later brought it up in an ASPITPIAY episode (can't remember which one it was unfortunately), he didn't know much about NFTs when he accepted the sponsor.
Its the legends arkoos meme review
Thx
21:45 "Why are you all redheads?"
Dear God Mikey you can't just ask people why they're redheads 🤣🤣🤣
This is basically "Mikey appreciates one of the least appreciated types but specifically Leavanny for 34 minutes" and I couldn't have been happier to witness it.
I love the gen 5 bugs so damn much!
gen 5 revolutionized the bug type
Yeah. My friend’s favorite Pokémon is a scolipede and hers is completely stacked and can kill ANYTHING. X scissor, Poison jab, Rock slide, Earthquake, focus sash and just train it up to make the speed better than it already is and you have a monster that can murder legends. Even without competitive training just scolipede with earthquake can body any play through if used correctly
SCOLIPEDE,GALVANTULA AND LEAVANNY GANGGGGGG
@@ultrastarskys respect my man Scolipede, also with speed boost sword dance baton pass is completely overpowered
Same but that’s only because Gen 5 is my favourite region and I like Genesect
"bug, but make it fashion" really got me, only just past the one minute mark and I am sufficiently entertained
I really do think it was weird to take Bug Catchers out of the G5 games...
The best LOOKING and STRONGEST Bug-Types in the franchise were introduced in G5 and G7.
Scolipede, Leavanny, Crustle, Larvesta, and Genesect, Escavalier, Accelgor, Galvantula, Durant
Araquanid, Golisopod, Vikavolt, Ribombee, Buzzwole, Pheromosa
Bug Catchers were merged with Youngsters in these games. If you look around, you'll find Youngsters who clearly love Bug types more than a Youngster usually would.
Don’t forget Volcarona in G5. A truly magnificent Bug, which I wish was either a Legendary, or at least a Pseudo.
@@zacharyjoy8724I think that's what they meant when they said larvesta
The reason they took Bug Catchers out of the game is actually more cultural. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are based on parts of Japan, where bug catching is a popular hobby among children. Elsewhere, bug catching is a lot more niche and children don't do it as much. Speaking as someone from the USA, while _I_ have fond memories of catching butterflies at the park, the only time most of my friends caught bugs as kids were when we were all assigned to make insect collections in third grade. Kids that do catch bugs of their own volition (i.e. not as a school assignment) usually do so on a whim and don't, like, make it a huge part of who they are. So, yeah, in regions not based on Japan, Bug Catchers weren't really included or were merged with the Youngsters.
Imagine you see like a 7 year old, who has a Volcorona. (That's probably why)
The character choice was far too majestic for a trainer trope infamous for using 6 caterpies. Loved it
This guy takes "role-playing" games to the next level, and i love it
Same here dude
BANDBOY: I'm afraid Priest Mikey takes the whole roleplaying thing a little too seriously.
Me: Oh, he's one of them.
Why the quotations? That is literally what role playing is
I love these themed playthrough challenges
Definitely
I feel incredibly bad for Mikey having to keep the sponsor and the links in the video now that he knows NFTs are bad 😭
same
which nfts are bad?
@@euclois Most, if not all of them are. They’re essentially a pyramid scheme assigning a large amount of worth to digital collectibles (typically images), which people buy to sell in hopes of making even more money; akin to a stock market. So not only does it kind of wack out the economy, but the places that run all the NFT servers (for holding cryptocurrency I believe; which people then turn into real money) also apparently are doing some bad harm on the environment.
At the end of the day it’s really an opinion? But most can agree that NFTs do more harm than good
@@skyzeeee but nfts are a technology, like the internet. there are millions of websites with phishing, scams, virus, illegal stuff etc, but you don't bash the internet. why don't you present actual solutions for nfts uses? because there are hundreds already on the making, like L2 solutions that actually don't hurt the environment (at least no more than traditional systems) and even the argument for blockchains like bitcoin hurting the environment are very broken and flawed.
@@euclois whats the point of an nft to begin with? who wants to buy your digital picture of monkey?
I swear, I've fought the Unova Elite 4 so many times, and that Reuniclus never misses Focus Blast. I didn't even know it wasn't 100% accurate!
Yeah I’ll say it. Michael is really trying to keep his “Hottest Poketuber” label with the beard and tank and it’s working
I mean his plan is kinda working 😳
He has every right to be the hottest Poketuber. I personally don't know why he is, but whatever. He's entertaining.
He's trying to be hottest man that is almost 30
Pokeaim wayyyyyyy hotter let's all be real.
Agreed
I love how Mikey cares more about the bugs being frozen than all of the humans. I can understand his concern. We shouldn't hurt Pokémon.
I understand as well. Humans are doo-doo
But Miltank meat us delicious, even more so when you hate them
I understand but I don't think humans are doo doo
But, humans are also canonically Pokemon.
Pokémon aren’t meant to be hurt… not like this
I love this run, bug types rarely get much love but damn john has no chill. He'd rather throw down then fight in a pokemon battle
👍👍👍
I've started doing all bug for all my runs and it really changes things up. In Shield I easily got a well balanced team that could handle everything, but in Shining Pearl I had to sit around a few days because almost all of the bugs were only catchable from honey trees. A steel type Wormadan was MVP, sweeping multiple gyms and elite four once I got it evolved and with Quiver Dance.
I did a bug run of galar too

11:24
Mickey, I know it's a sponsor and all and the game looks also really good too, but criptocurrency is bad for the planet: every "unit" of criptocurrency is coded in a way so that it cannot be stolen.
So, to actually sell or buy any nft product, a server makes a lot of tiny "rubic's cube" for every single coin. Like, it has to convert the code to it's value.
It makes a lot of tiny operations, and when something is expensive (or there's a lot of demand) we need to use more and more electricity to support the servers, which means more wasted energy and damage to the environment. Just to let you guys know, nfts are dumb in so many ways, please, let this not be a common thing, it would ruin a world that has already enough scars.
Good vid btw, bug type is great
Not to mention, the cryptocurrency 'mining' setups require a lot of hardware, including GPUs... And there are people who are buying out the 3080s just to mine more of this environmentally-damaging, artificially inflated fake currency... Making it near impossible for people who ACTUALLY need the cards for their computers, or making the prices skyrocket.
I was about to come down here to comment about this too. NFTs are bad for the environment, bad for artists who get their art stolen to be made into NFTs, and it acts pretty much like a pyramid scheme, theres so many reasons to not support them. I hope he doesn't work with this sponsor again.
mickey?😭
And on top of all of that, in order to get the best deal on all the electricity used for mining crypto, they set up their mining operations in countries with dirt-cheap coal-powered electricity. So not only are they causing harm through their electricity usage in and of itself, they're specifically using THE MOST HARMFUL means of producing it.
Just fundamentally they're an answer in search of a problem
I think my love and appreciation for bug types became more apparent after Alola. In my opinion they definitely had the best bug types ever! Ribombee is my absolute favorite!
Man, as a bug type fan, I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
What a great video man
They really nerfed Elesa between the Unova games. In the originals her Emolgas (she had 2) knew Acrobatics. A base 110 STAB move in the 4th gym.

Also, NFTs are really bad for the environment and produce more CO2 than some countries.

@@PretzelPython yup, the way they work uses up a lot of energy and the "community" around it have stolen art from many people, including ones who have passed away

They are also very bad at their own advertising
The sponsor was really looking awesome... but then they screwed up with the NFT and the Ethereum.
I saw the ASPITPIAY first so when I heard the name I came to the comments just to find a comment talking about it.

Suggestions for more type playthroughs:
Sword/Shield as the Electric Gym Leader
Any game after Gen 5 as the leader of Team Pixie Dust (Fairy types)
Sun/Moon as the Ice Trial Captain/Kahuna (Pretty tough since your first Pokémon would be Crabrawler)
Or Sword/Shield as the Flying Gym Leader
@@SSP01LSP0RT I figured Electric because he said he'd be an Electric Gym Leader in Galar in the same video he made his Grass Gym. And he's already done Flying-type twice
I was personally wanting to do a Fairy Type run based around Kingdom Hearts, but I'm waiting for Inclement Emerald to get the Gen 8 Pokemon update since I don't wanna go through it without using my favorite fairy. It might be possible to do in Sword/Shield but I don't have a way to get Alolan Ninetails or Primarina in the games for the team to work.
Steel Type Playthrough pf BDSP?
@@speculyn5060 his type based playthroughs usually have a gimmick to them e.g. Grass and Dark Gym Leaders in regions that don't have them, Team Sky in Hoenn against Aqua and Magma, Bug Catcher in the first region without Bug Catchers. There's nothing about Sinnoh that would tie to Steel in the same way
This is amazing I love how Mikey brings more attention to bug types this makes me thing he should do a collaboration with A-Drive
I want to be a CZcams employee so I can delete these bots
I agree
Venipede was one of my first catches in this game , I named it Mr.Hiss
Bro got sponsored by Riff Off Pokemon a second time😂
Leavanny has always been my fav design for bug pokemon second to volcarona im glad this highlight her beauty, i hope they include in the next pokemon game
14:25 I can't stop laughing! XD the third OW with that face was absolutely hilarious! XD
This made me so happy. Galvantula is legitamately my favourite pokemon, and the fact that it won you the entire game was so special to me.
Edit: Wow! Over 20 likes!
Same. Gavantula is my favorite bug-type
I almost never go a game without an electric type, and for White I chose it. However, in Black 2 I used Electross
Current competitive Galvantula set works like this:
Galvantula
Ability: Compound eyes
Item: Focus Sash
Idk the EVs, but one is Max Special Attack
Attacks:
Sticky Web
Thunder Wave
Thunder
Bug Buzz
And it's so GOOD.
It can take down about half of an unprepared team, set up a Sticky Web to slow down all the enemies, Bug Buzz past a Substitute, and Thunder or Thunder Wave annoying targets.

You go Team Sky/ Grass/Dark Gymleader /Bug Catcher / Team Rocket Grunt / Whatever else you come up with in the hopefully near future
This. Is. CLEARLY. A. Masterpiece.
Hugh despite not being the edgiest rival is weirdly the most physical, also never forget that cheren called team plasma a waste of oxygen, my dude didn't need mommy/daddy issues, a nasty attitude and spiky hair to deal out insult
I adore this concept for a playthrough. Keep up the good work! 😀
Dude, the fact you found Heracross in this game is awesome. It's so rare.
Congratulations, Michael, on a successful playthrough as a bug catcher! You are a hero to bug catchers everywhere! Keep up the great work!
It's been big time since I saw a unova playtrough!! UNOVA GOT THE BUGS THO
Oh yay! :D seeing someone fight with an exclusively bug type team is so cool! One of my favorite types is bug, and Unona's bug types are some of my favorite.
29:38 reminded me of the One Piece 2 year time skip of Luffy taking his hat off at the start and putting it back on at the end
The Beyond Plus Ultra was excellently timed, I was waiting for that joke to come up ever since you named your Escavalier "Beyond". Especially in the context of a "Go! Beyond!" which is the dialogue when you send out Beyond.
The full spin of Grunty Boi instead of the hand motions wasn’t lost on everyone, I always wait to see what you’ll do next and this was a great option 😂
As a bug type specialist myself, this run made me happy :3
As a bug type enthusiast, and most of my favourites being from Unova, love this video!
A suggestion, if I may. Team Sky could conquer the skies of Johto in Heartgold, considering Ho-oh is a glorious creature of the sky, and some recruits for Team Sky, including the first Gym Leader and the Champion
I’m actually doing a flying type only run in Crystal. There’s actually quite a few good birds lol
Team sky should take a try at Colosseum. Lots of flying types in that game surprisingly.
I'm considering starting a Team Sky chapter here in Unova. (By the way, neither LAND-on nor SEA-n are allowed.)
Strange, i always call my Leavannies "Fashion", just because of it's abilities with well... fashion clothes, i think a fashionista bug would fit right in for Mikey
What a coincidence
When's the last time you've played any gen 5 game
Not just for music
This was so good. Definitely I'm looking at bug Pokemon different after your playthrough
new subscriber here, i've seen some of your vids in passing but i've been watching a couple of them back to back, and i really love your style. You seem like a real fun and nice dood. Keep it up
Thank you for mentioning that Illuvium uses NFTs. Now I know for a fact that I never want anything to do with Illuvium!
What no bug catcher has ever done 29:53

As a man who loves bug Pokémon this video was perfection
I never knew I needed a Virizion Manager until now ( 22:00 )
I've been so used to Nuzlockes that I forgot that normal playthroughs with healing items can be fun too
Me: enjoying the video.
Me at 14:43: hears music "Wait is that Spirit Tracks music? I love that game!"
These are so fun to watch I like all the voices he does
I did a bug type play through of Sword and I was honestly surprised how easy it was. The bug type sure has come a long way from gen 1
It’s kind of weird that Grunty Boi’s voice is still so high while having such a manly beard
