Yay he's back! He's finally back!
I remember playing it years ago, kinda crazy they are on sixth iteration already.
i havent watched it yet but this vidieo sounds amazing and prob is
thats just discound raid x diablo 4, and that says alot since raid is dogwater and diablo 4 is fucking cancer.
Wow, didn't know you Guys were that quick in making that Video (i dm-ed you about it in insta ) or maybe you already Had it on your To-do-List 😂.
But still thanks as Always for such "exquisite" content "ta-tah" 😅 as gruntyboi would say
3 minutes into the video and Grunty Boy is passionately defending Giovanni’s potential erectile disfunction, give this man employee of the month
Grunty Boy is a real one
😂 exactly what I noticed
Yes
istg XDXD
uh, when exactly? you can put a time stamp in a reply
I think that the fact that he uses a Pikachu is something to signify that in spite of what everyone says Red is a human and it's a tragedy that he's being manipulated by Oak.
Indeed. And if you consider the fact that you find him atop Mount Silver in Gold, I think it's clear to say he's pretty traumatized.
@@theantagonist801 im confused. Isnt this game just a rom? So this plotline isnt canon? Sure red being ontop of mount silver is real but it wouldnt be because of this plotline?
@@billylo1992 Well, yes, it's a romhack. It's safe to assume this is in another universe, but we can all have our own headcanons lol
@@theantagonist801i understand now. I want bossyboi johto journey now
@@billylo1992 Yes. I would love a Rocket! Edition for Johto.
Fun Fact: *If you defeat Red at Mt. Moon, he'll accuse you of cheating and leaves lmao*
In this game?
@@amyschildgamerlive4519yep, but it doesn't affect the story in any way though
@sunbell4444 I was gonna say it isn't like him to talk.... like at all lol
Can you take his pokemon
How? I'm playing atm and it's hard to get anything that high atm.
Grunty Boi taunting Oak about KO’ing Tauros only to realize it wasn’t his last Pokémon is very on brand lmao
Played this game and couldn’t get over how well thought out the story line was, major respect to the creators
yah i played it last week and i was like i want mandjtv to play it as gruntyboy and he actually did
Yeah, I played it years ago when it came out & it was 1 of the unique romhacks I ever seen. It had things that I wouldnt normally expect. Im waiting for a sequel or another "playing as a evil team game".
HOW do you play it?
@@Tree511what does that question mean it's a gba rom hack
@@harshcrafterplays oh
This was dark, funny, and extremely lore-heavy. I have no problem seeing this as canon in an alternate universe.
Fr we need this animated
@@jeffjefforson1435 yes
Doge :)
Considering the existence of the multiverse in the canon universe, I suppose Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company do consider it canon.
@@VigriffNah they hate romhacks
“Heavy weighs the crown” is not a line I ever thought I would hear out of Grunty Boi
No but it works...
lol
I love Red's reaction if you beat him the first time, just a little upset, like "Hey, cmon man, you were supposed to lose!" Or something like that
The fact that he starts talking as well, and to you no less. He's also all "look, please just play along and act like I won". That whole moment comes off like a D&D GM trying to salvage the derailed campaign and it's kinda funny.
i dont think its suppose to be red, i think its suppose to be the creator
"everyone, no matter your gender, can be a boi at heart" sounds like something giovanni potage would say and that's beautiful
"congrats little girl, you've been promoted to boi! Minion boi!"
Although I can't tell if that's sexist or just plain weird
@@woow3980 Maybe it's like dude. Like in Good Burger. "You're a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude. We're all dudes."
@@amandajohnson3531pffft
@@woow3980its grunty boy we're talking about you can never know if he means evik or good
Grunty Boi thinking he won but realizing that they the opponent had another Pokémon TWICE got me.
Imagine if that Exeguttor swept his team somehow, or if Oak had a Pseudo legendary on his team
"Pipsqueak? I'm very much a pop-roar" absolutely killed me
i love how grunty boy got so fed up with ronnie that he straight up said "i will get arcanine for you to sic on this idiot sandwich"
2:19 “Giovanni’s never been soft, he’s always very hard” got me rolling 😂😂
Lmaooo I nearly spat out my drink! 😂
I don't get it.
@@RandomShtick2 ye to young kiddo
I wheezed. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:20:00 Koga's Response was the most unexpectedly hilarious how he dislike his own weezing lol
A Pokémon that smells really bad has no place in a ninja's team anyway. Crobat and Venomoth are way better fits than Weezing and Muk.
That whole portion broke my heart as an avid Weezing fan. Neither a Team Rocket member nor the Poison-type Gym Leader cared for Weezing very much.
😂 I mean considering even in the main Series game his primary use of that wheezing is to blow it up. That's at least consistent with his characterization which I found hilarious
This makes me want to see a Team Sky in Pokemon Unbound. Heck, that game even has color customizations for the outfits.
Ditto! I'm currently doing a Team Sky run through Unbound right now...
Oh my god, yes! I still remember playing Pokemon Unbound for the first time, and absolutely loving it. I'd love to see a Team Sky in Pokemon Unbound video just as much as you.
Mikey should play unbound , very good game if I say so myself. Played it many times now on new game +.
same!
finally it took years for rom hacks with char customization
The Promotions and costume changes.

and there theres a secret evolution at the end called

@@thathappyguy7444and after that u get the *Postgamey Boi*
Grunt man
When he said 'Heavy weighs the crown' in that high pitched grunty boy voice I almost passed out laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This game is honestly incredible. Missingno being another failed experiment is genius, I saw it coming the moment they said it was a digital pokemon
I had my suspicions about it, even moreso when Shigeki was revealed to be the old man in Viridian City, but it wasn't until it was revealed to be hidden on the east coast of Cinnabar that my mind was well and truly blown. The attention to detail there was beautiful.
...in spite of all that, the Missingno. sprite was missing that one black pixel that's surrounded by all that white that makes that part look like an eye and it was SO UNSETTLING TO ME!
username checks out!@@IAmMissingnoMaster
i thought it was a digimon
Cuebone skulls, when crushed, are an aphrodisiac. That’s why they were in high demand by team rocket just wanted you all to know that haha
Is that from the manga or something else?
Man I feel bad for red. As cool as the ending was, imagine how amazing it would’ve been for red to turn on oak
It kinda reminds me of N and Ghetsis.
It's very fitting how Mikey started calling this Professor Oak a fascist, because Oak's "slap on the wrist" trial at the end reminded me of how a certain toothbrush-moustached rabble rouser got lenient treatment in his sentencing for the Beer Hall Putsch. I guarantee that this timeline's Kanto has not seen the last of Samdolf Oakler.
Samdolf oakler😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah tbh given the 'recent war we lost' backstory this could probably be seen as a very vague parallel, plus I'm pretty sure that the whole 'being more lenient towards the right wing' thing was something that actually happened in post-ww1 germany. Pretty sure they had a saying along the lines of 'the justice system works with the right eye closed' or something like that, and this Oak seems very much like he's part of the right wing in Rocket edition!Kanto. He probably has a lot of supporters, and not just the relatively harmless 'quick, support him while he's powerful to get into his good graces' kind like Agatha.
Yeah though the slap on the wrist makes sense for the "red experiment" but Agathas death was plain to see
@@Lumberjack_king dunno, it didn't seem like anyone was recording it and Missingno. corrupted lots of data at the end. Plus with the witnesses being Red, who was deemed to have significant physical and mental issues and therefore probably unreliable for witness testimony, and Grunty Boi, who was himself a criminal trying to take the title of champ, it wouldn't be surprising if Oak convinced the law to deem the former unfit for testimony and the latter 'not to be trusted'. Plus he probably has the money for good lawyers, too, so it really isn't much of a surprise that he got out of that one. I'd say he needed minimal bribery to be declared guilty for Agatha's death.
@@paulinafirestone7868 yeah
“This kid is a MACHINE!”
That’s called foreshadowing!
I will never be able to play through FireRed without thinking of this storyline. Insanely well crafted.
I feel the same for even hs ss
Red being the Kanto Version of Captain America might be the unintentionally funniest plot twist I've seen in a romhack
More like Bucky Barnes.
"Giovani's never been soft, he's always very hard" - Grunty boi
can confirm
was looking for a comment on this lol
@@williamchoi8676 same
No, HE IS BOSSY-Y BOI NOW
@@Blocky_Boi267 mb i made the comment after he said it
“Giovanni Has Never Been Soft He Is Always Very Hard🥵😩”
-Grunty Boi 2023
can confirm he’s always hard
@Flizz0 I was in the other room, and I can corroborate this story.
@@archaydplays YOU DIDNT HEAR ANYTHING
what's up with him always being hard?
@@SamuelSandford-lw8bp it’s top secret
I hope whoever made the storyline for this game is making the money they deserve somewhere with their creative talents.
Fun fact, when you go to jail in that game, Shigeki bails you out of jail
It’s soooo funny when mikey tries to stay in character whilst in the game
Edit: wtf is the inside joke yall are talking abt in the comments, I don’t get 😢
That's grunty boi wdym
wdym thats just grunti boi
@@necrozma4029if it wasn’t already clear for you: grunty boi is Mikey
@@nizarkheribeche7827 what are you talking about
That's Grunty Boi. Michael is the other dude
That’s grunti boi not Mickey they’re clearly different people lol
Grunty Boi considers MandJtv a good friend! I don’t know why, but I just think that’s adorable!
FYI Oak was charged with voluntary manslaughter because he didn't plan to kill Agatha beforehand but just decided to do in the moment. That's the difference between manslaughter and murder.
Nope. Manslaughter is no intention to kill in that moment, but still a voluntary violent act. He should have be punished for 2nd degree murder, which is intended murder (unplanned but still intentional). I'm pretty sure when he said "no holding back", he meant to kill her.
These are the kinds of stories I make up in my mind at three A.M, and these mad lads put it all in a game
Headcanon: Grunty boy has to introduce himself every time he talks with Mikey because otherwise he would forget his own name
your pfp is based as hell, my friend
I mean, he did canonically get amnesia at some point from banging his head on the spinny tiles in the Team Rocket base. Didn’t forget his name then, but maybe he’s nervous that he still could somehow?
@@smileyface81mc77”Haha, it is I... wait, who am I?
Ngl, I was hoping the ending involved us still losing to Red, but he suddenly discovers his own autonomy and rebels against Oak. Mostly as a way to explain why he goes up in the mountains and secludes himself
With Oak in exile, I think it makes sense that he would wander off. He has no other drive or purpose if he can't be champion.
@@lymandecoconut4832i mean he can be if he restore his human side later which i think is the focus of ending scene
But since he was forced to do oak bidding he might have gone into isolation alone to truly have feelings or rather mt...
Honestly I would have liked that ending better if red rebelled against oak (it feels really sad that everyone kept calling red a beast or inhuman just because he was made in a lab)
24:51 This is how you know Mikey and Grunty Boi are different people, Grunty Boi said "Eww" while Mikey would have no doubt said "Hooray".
This story was better than half of normal pokemon game stories combined, this story literally gives me chills
As a Native American, I have to say the "That little Red kid" line is absolutely hilarious when taken out of context 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ladies and gentlemen, Grunty Boi has returned to entertain us for two whole hours 👏🏻
Ha ha it is I!!
Team sky grunty boi!!
O.O two hours!? How did I miss that 😅
Yessir
13:45 Giovanni saying the famous Godfather's quote is just perfect, it fits incredibly well
I remember playing this rom a while back and i was truly flabbergasted by how friking good its story was. Hands off to its creator because they did a fantastic job.
I know it’s not the first time the roles were swapped but it’s still really funny for Michael to appear and use his normal greeting
the playthrough we both wanted and needed
I put this in the survey mikey did last year, glory!
fr
I wanted this when the let’s go came out and was disappointed when it was let’s go instead
Now we need Mikey playing with Milktank
*all
I was not expecting this game to be as over-the-top a rollercoaster as this but I greatly enjoyed the ride
I think that Team Sky's leader should adventure through Pokemon Too Many Types just *baffled* by the types that exist.
Oh also I loved the story of this rom hack and how Grunty boi adventured through it, good job Michael!!
Even better, Team Sky in Infinite Fusion.
i was NOT expecting the lore to go this hard.
Nor was I
My boy Red didn't deserve this 😭
Hey there!
It's been maybe seven or eight years since I've started watching your content, I'm an adult by this point and I just wanted to say thank you. Your content has always been a warm presence to me through a lot of my life, and your optimism and charm has always been there to steer me in a positive direction mentally in some times where I just needed to hear a little fun and excitement. Thanks Michael
I mean, thanks Grunty Boi
this comment is so sweet. I've been watching Micheal for maybe 4 years now or something like that and anytime he posts my day always gets a little better
Just coz, imma list out all the times Grunty boi got a suit change:
Adminy boi - 42:23
Executi boi - 1:00:51
Bossy boi - 1:17:31
This is the comment I was looking for!
"giovanni has always been really hard" he sounds like he is speaking from experience
The whole cubone skull thing is probably a metaphor for people who hunt elephants for their ivory tusks
One of the most insane stories in a romhack, I think Mikey missed the post credits scene with Bill and Elm (or it wasn't in the video at least). Hope there's a sequel!
Elm ?!? Whats the scene ? I never saw it
You can’t just mention the scene and not describe it
@@Door227basically Shigeki bails you out and Bill orders that the others shouldn't rat out Oak in court because he copied the blueprints for the boy prodigy cloning process and is cooperating with Prof. Elm to bring it to life. Which means probably Ethan/Kris/Lyra will be another one
@@thelegendaryarceus5618
Red: *is quite literally a battling machine/cyborg thingy*
Ethan: *beats Red to a pulp*
Red: D:
@@smileyface81mc77 Does he? I remember going to battle Red with my pokes in the mid 60s. Most traumatizing pokemon experience of my life.
After all this time, we finally have Grunty Boi lore. And now, not only is he the Team Rocket boss, but he can also fighy on-par with Champion Level trainers. Sky Boss Mikey better watch out!!
I was not expecting this video to make my mouth drop open. Not just with the storyline but I really appreciate your commitment that Grunty Boy. You should be proud of yourself!
Grunty Boi one minute: "Oh the Light Screen is up. I better not forget that."
Grunty Boi the next minute: "What?! Did I miss something?! How did he live that Surf?!"
unironically he is a very good voice actor for mewtwo
The way the grunts were pressed over young Gary Oak is hilarious
And Red
Lance: "I will initiate a new program to combat organized crime. This program is called: Dragonite, Hyperbeam!"
“Giovanni hasn’t gone soft he’s always hard.” - Grunty Boi 2023
(Im guessing that’s where Silver came from)
Nahh horrible.
Lmaooo
HAH
This game is still as great as I remember it. Its story is surpassing any canon Pokémon game's story (even if some of these stories are really good).
And Grunty Boi's outfits are also great. They really fit the vibe of the different roles he gets throughout the story.
Giovanni: *Ariana darling*
Grunty boi: *OHHHH*
That legitimately made me laugh 🤣
Shigeku being the old man who taught you how to catch pokemon was the plot twist of the century
edit: that same old man is the reason missingno exists
Finally, Rocket Edition being played by Micha- I mean, GRUNTY BOI. I’ve waited enough
WOW!
THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE!
Such lore, backstory, filled missing holes and plot points, and even brought back MissingNo.
Just Wow.
ROMHACK OF THE YEAR!
Of the year?this rom hack has been around for years now I played it like 3 years ago
A little ways into watching this I realize how insane the story's gonna be, so I stopped watching, downloaded the game, and played it for myself before resuming, and I was blown away at some of the insanity that awaited. Missingno. made it onto my own final team even before I knew you kinda had to bring it along- I mean, look at my username, it should be obvious I love that thing. That playthrough of mine, and of course this video, were awesome.
Missing No is my favourite Bird Pokémon!
@@adams0123 It's seriously cool, and it's what got me so interested in Pokémon glitches in the first place. To this day I'll sometimes catch one in a Red/Blue playthrough as a Fly user.
One thing that annoys me about this game, though, is that it cuts off the leftmost pixels on Missingno.'s body, which includes this one black pixel that's surrounded by that massive square of white- it makes it look like an eye, like Missingno.'s sprite shows it facing to the left of the screen. But yeah, hell, they made Missingno. an actual part of the game, I can't complain too much!
I mean I'd prefer to not get too close else my body start getting unstable.
Should’ve called yourself Grunty Boss at the end… that would really make an impression
Btw, I really hope that the person who made this does a sequel version in HGSS, that would really make it an even better experience
Soon, Grunty Boi will surely get promoted to *GRUNTY MAN.* The funds will be crazy after a few days this video's released! Giovanni will be proud of him for defeating him, becoming the Kanto Champion, and even Alola Champion! Now, this achievement!... AMAZING!
Can we all appreciate the fact the editors and the team do their best for the channel to be entertaining for us all? They all do such a good job of making such masterpieces!
I think it's just Katie
Its 1 editor, anyone who watches Mikey would know that .-.

Mikey, this might be your best video yet! I just loved your reactions, sometimes in character, sometimes not, and the sincere bursts of laughter. Great job well done!
Seeing Micheal make a guest appearance was a nice surprise, hope to see him more often
CONGRATS INTO YOUR PROMOTION GRUNT, I'm sure that Giovani when he heards about your capture and how you managed to defeat both red and Oak, he will do his best to pay for the money you own, and I'm sure that he will make you still be the boss of team Rocket.
I can't wait to see a new fanart of you becoming now the boss of the company now... Wait, does that mean that every time you appear to sponsor, now you will show that you are now the boss of the company?
PLEASE, CREATE THE LORE OF HOW GRUNTY BOSS NOW BECOME FREE FROM JAIL, AND NOW LEADS TEAM ROCKET.
When it comes about Michael from Team Sky, and Mickey from MandJTV, now we have Grunty Boss. XD
YES DO IT PLEASE!
He didn’t even “STEEL” it.
THIS WAS INSANE
From grunt to bossy boi what a journey, and the devs really managed to piece together a great dramatic twist on Kanto that's full of fan theories, the plot was better than any official Pokemon game
I love the Mewtwo creation reference using human cells, idk if it's in any game but it is in the manga, Mewtwo was created using Blane's DNA
"I'm not a pipsqueak, I'm a poproar!"
I love we're getting another Grunty Boi playthrough, it's been too long and we've only had like 2.
Also is it just me or does Grunty Boi kinda sound like Squirtle from Pokemon Talk?
holy moly this version is so accurate to the game "being played" so to speak by the main character and rival; not to mention the Mt. moon stuff but around 18:30 ish YOU are the team rocket grunt at the end of the bridge after the mini-gauntlet of trainers
Good to see a rocket grunt make it up in ranks first hand, "Started from the bottom, Now we're here."
This was really good, they used parts of adventures manga to make this story work. The gym leaders being apart of rocket, Blaine using his dna to help make mewtwo. Again this is fantastic.
Yeah, it's an amazing game. I find it weird that they made Red an inhuman sociopathic war machine though.
@@theantagonist801 Weird for sure, but I can still appreciate the interesting take on Red's whole silent protagonist child prodigy deal.
Easily my favorite Pokemon Hack. It manages to tell a fun story that uses theories and other ideas while making up some creative ones in the process. It does well to make you feel like a rocket member and yet also gives you freedom to choose. My only gripe is that I wish the pokemon options were a bit better. Not to say it's awful but the majority of mons are Kanto and not from others. Which makes sense with the story but I wish more options were available to have more useful mons from other regions for a bit of diversity team wise. Regardless these are fine games I am glad to have scene you enjoy!
i aint reading allat
that "or less if I hold down the speedup button" at the end got me good.
2:20
“Giovanni has never been soft, he’s always very hard” 😂😅
15:58 Missed opportunity for Grunty Boi to say “I was a poet and I didn’t even know it”
I think that's the joke
I’m sorry but could you explain
He could've done the obvious rhyme but deliberately didn't, which is funnier.
Oh ok thanks
we’ve been waiting so long for another one of these, thank you Grunty Boi
Fr
Sameeeee
I remember seeing a comment saying, “there is a game where you play as team rocket, its called pokemon firered rocket edition” 2 years ago. Im glad it was heard
There’s supposed to be some heavy implications that the Rocket Grunt you play as was also genetically engineered to win battles so, if this story becomes cannon to Grunty Boi, that means he’s going to have an identity crisis if he figures out he’s not a real human either.
An hour and a half of grunty boi. Best early birthday present ever
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday my guy.
Same my birthday is on Tuesday
Today's my birthday
“Giovanni’s never been soft he’s always been very hard”

Clearly he knew about Silver already.
1:17:32 “you come to me, the day of my daughters wedding…” *strokes persian*
This quickly became one of my favorite videos of all time. Editing was flawless. The humor was through the roof. The being a rocket in game and out rounded off the entire experience. Extreamly well done.
Can we not just mention that in just one hour and forty minutes it went from grunty boi to bossy boi
I have been waiting for this for years. I always wanted Grunty Boi to play this.
Same!
"Grunty Boi doesn't fit so I'm going to name myself GB. You all know what it stands for."
Me: Game Boy! 😇
i like how Red is portrait in this. he's basically a Player character controlled by AI, making him the strongest trainer until the Grunt you play as steps into the spotlight, as it's basically an AI controlled super trainer, VS an actual trainer with free will and choice.
We all love a ✨ grunty boi ✨ video!!
Is the least evil Grunt.
Bossyboi...
This game is wild!! For a moment I thought there would be more manga elements, but the direction it went was nothing like I had thought. Couldn’t have asked for a better play through, Grunty Boi. 😉
I enjoyed the use of Kingdom Hearts music as the background noise. It really fit the mood. And you combined 2 of my favorite series together

You finally got the promotion you deserve! Congrats Adminy Boi!
