    Hey everyone he didn’t realize everything about the sponsor and he apologized in the legends arceus meme review!! He said he won’t be taking any more sponsorships from them, he did his research, and he can’t take this down just because it violates the contract with them. Go watch the meme review to see for yourself!! 🙂 Mikey had good intentions

    1:57 funny story about this, in my first run of the game and my first playthrough of Sinnoh, (Brilliant diamond) I was sweeping Cynthia with drapion and dialga until garchomp came out, where dialga lived an earthquake, and I decided I wanted to use roar of time as a sheer act of defiance, but dialga decided to piss me off and missed the roar of time (I should have just used ice beam). Garchomp then sweeped my entire team except gallade which somehow lived a dragon claw and killed it. So yeah that was fun, thanks dialga for missing that move

The only accuracy lowering moves Floatzel can learn are Double Team via TM (unlikely it was taught this) and Mud Slap via breeding (no way it was taught this). Unless another Pokemon lowered Garchomp's accuracy, this is impossible. Also, Air Balloons didn't exist in Gen 4.

      @Dhruv Acharya "Non fungible" basically means "non-interchangeable". Something that's mass-produced or has a fixed value is fungible, a unique object is non-fungible.
      NFTs are basically virtual tokens, usually used to represent ownership of a non-fungible digital asset, such as a picture or a character in a video game. They're similar to cryptocurrency in that they're digital tokens based on blockchain technology, and sometimes very valuable, but each NFT represents a unique item rather than a particular quantity of money.
      NFTs are often regarded as scams, because the most popular NFTs have basically no inherent value (most are computer-generated pictures of an animal, like a monkey or lion - all the NFT gives you is a hyperlink to the picture, and membership of an online forum). At least in principle, NFTs could be used for things that actually have some sort of function, e.g. a character in a video game, like the video sponsor is promoting, though doing this isn't any better than any other secure method of tracking who owns what items/characters.

    So, I usually skip sponsor segments, and here was no different. However, I did manage to skip to the point where nfts are brought up. As an artist, I highly recommend against supporting a game or whatnot that even dabbles in such. The etherium that people use to buy them consume a lot of energy, damaging the environment, and small artists aren’t actually being supported as people who support nfts say that’s what can be done with them. I don’t wanna get into some big debate over this, but for the sake of the environment, please don’t support them.

Roar of Time uses so little time (i.e., less than Planck time) that it shatters Spacetime while with Spacial Rend, a slash is sent so fast it collapses the Spacetime fabric. So Game Freak was pretty clever with their signature moves.

    Mikey, I hope your contract with Illuvium ends soon so you can stop supporting what is currently a broken and harmful system (nfts and block chain mining for etherium) this brazenly while ignoring the implications behind it.
    While nfts may eventually lead to a system which can protect the work of small artists, as of now they are responsible for large amounts of art theft and squeezing out small creators.
    Also the Etherium used in the game currently comes from a form of block chain mining which is incredibly power inefficient and damages the environment.

      @@ameladaptivedaydreamer949 NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token, and it's basically a piece of art that you buy, but rather than buying the art itself because it's a digital image, you just own a hyperlink to the art, and the picture itself can be saved or screenshotted by anyone. A lot of NFT art is stolen from artists and sold as an NFT without their permission. More importantly though, NFT purchases are done using a cryptocurrency called ethereum, and ethereum transactions wreak *havoc* on the environment. One ethereum transaction uses enough electricity to power an average home for about 3 days. Ethereum on average uses more power per year than Denmark and has a carbon footprint the size of Lithuania's. If you don't understand what all this means, just know this is hideously wasteful in the pursuit of profit, and it is absolutely evil.
