Alpharad defending his Braixen pick like he didn't also pick every other humanoid pokemon that appeared instantly, he's never beating the allegations

[@cracuss31n52]

Bro nearly every semi feminine pokemon that exist is Alpharad's favourite. This is basically his smash or pass tier list.

[@giboit.]

He's also doing so many mental gymnastics to pretend that Meowscarada isn't feminine looking.

[@KingJH0510]

the fact that he didnt put steenee or tsareena for gen7 grass is honestly surprising

[@SpiltMySquash]

​@@KingJH0510 I get Tsareena but leave Steenee out of this, she's too precious for this

23:44 so all those years ago "I wish heracross was my dad, that guy's cool as fuck" Finally came back. I figured it was just drunken rambling at the time, but no. It was not

[@Trikip_]

Drunk smash, I remember

[@idecoyzg]

It's crazy how much more justice the sprite art does for the modern mons

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

Honestly, they never should have gone beyond the 3D of black and white. Probably get better games out of it just because it'd be easier to develop.

[@100StepProgram]

Facts, even Pokémon designs I hate look 100x better when in sprite form. Its simply how Pokémon should look

[@ohmygodtheykilledkenny4887]

I know it won't happen, but I would be so happy if Gen 10 went back to pixel art sprites

[@JosephWilliams-gx3zo]

finally, something that illustrated just how hard gen 9 cooked with its mons.

[@HazeEmry]

Ngl, gen 9 knocked it WAY out of the park with the new stuff but the old stuff we loved not coming back really took away from it.

[@nategwright]

and something that lays bare how mid the Kalos dex was

[@HazeEmry]

@@nategwright absolutely. Take out nostalgia pandering and XY are mid at best (ORAS is better but remakes shouldn't be better). Legends-zaza Cannot afford to be less than amazing

[@nategwright]

@@HazeEmry I just realized that Gen 9 is the first gen since 5 to introduce more than 100 new Pokémon, which is kind of disappointing. Quantity is not necessarily everything and Gen 7/8 did hit a lot more home runs in the Pokémon designs than Gen 6, but having so few new mons does kinda hurt when you have a type specialist that has to fall back on basically all older Pokémon to have a team. When you factor out regional forms, Alola had basically no Dark types, and so you have Nanu who has a team with no truly new Pokémon. At least Gen 8 finally started to (barely) break the Kanto pander trend and started giving us regional forms for newer Pokémon and bringing back crossgen evolutions (still not a fan of a Gen 8 Champion having Gen 1 starter as his ace tho).

[@HazeEmry]

@@nategwright oh god yeah Nanu... I was so disappointed in him and the lack of dark types in general in Alola since I "specialise" in Dark, Bug, and Ice (horrendous favourites I know). Love him as a character tho. That said, Bug has been getting better through the years. THAT said, it sucks that Golisopod isn't in gen 9... While I do agree that quality > quantity, I'd say the quantity is important in gen 9 simply because there are 3 routes before you enter Area Zero and you can go through each route with an entirely different team. I wouldn't have tried out one of my now faves Arboliva if it weren't for the 3 routes for example. I usually make a team and stick with it . About Leon... Let's not talk about him. He doesn't deserve the breath coming out of my mouth

[@RammerHammer]

24:35 "I really like the androgynous masquerade vibe" Balan really was the blueprint, huh?

[@FromMan2Monkey-nb5fq]

You’re not getting a mega lil bro, lame ass overrated ass pokemon. garchomp owns u

[@BenDover-rz3kq]

No hydreigon tho, therefore my hate shall flow

[@SenrabMJam]

Seeing someone else appreciate dragonair made me so happy. It's literally my favorite pokemon of all time. Honestly, the amount of mid stage appreciation from alpha impressed me. So many just default to either the base form or the fully evolved form (myself mostly included, with dragonair really being my only exception), but I really respect him for actually considering them

[@kyx5631]

I love dragonair, too. Also Wartortle

[@HazeEmry]

Grovyle is loved by many for obvious reasons too. I always thought Grovyle was grass/dark and reverted back to grass with Sceptile since it learns Pursuit via level up. Thought it was some neat lore until I found out

[@nategwright]

I have a random love for Fraxure. It's not my favorite or anything, but it's such a solid middle stage that at times I even like it more than Haxorus. It's also got a stellar shiny. Honorable mention to Hakamo-o.

[@jstar3382]

Of the two primal forms, I give it to Groudon. I'm a bigger fan of Kyogre, but the groudon form actually incorporated more omega symbols, the lava flowing on him is dope, and the overall design works better

[@Satherian]

hard agree

[@BoxuTrev]

“My three favourite starters right there” 10:58 My 2nd favourite pokemon, my second favourite smash character, and literally me :D

[@DKdrop]

I’m so glad that the Galarian birds are getting some respect here, those guys are awesome. I especially love the pose they gave Galarian Articuno.

[@dahomie253]

3:18 this puts a smile on my face

[@stevefilms1997]

Watching this I’ve only just realised that x and y introduced mega evolution and didn’t give it to any of the Pokémon from the new region, not even the starters.

[@patricktelesmanic5262]

This is the same energy of a 2013ish KZbin of gaming channels doing top 20 pokemon. Makes me feel good :)

Alpha talking about Gen 9's designs is so true. PKMN Company really made some great designs with the most recent version

[@hyun-shik7327]

I think you're the youtuber who most closely aligns with my pokemon preferences so far. Out of the ones that I've seen do this.

[@Bismarck-S]

Man, Gen 3 is so hard to choose your favourites in. It did not miss when it came to design.

[@belodie]

Let's go Meloetta, that's my favourite mon of all time! Nice to see some more appreciation for it.

[@geridax7027]

3:45 Not picking purple kecleon is treated like theft!

[@LoreleiStockhausen]

I love how Sylveon has such a special place in pokemon.

[@Juniverse0]

Honestly good picks! I appreciate the love for Absol and Porygon-Z, those two are probably my favourite mons overall.

[@JeskidoYT]

This is like the best pokemon video I've seen in months. The ability to remember each one's name is amazing. Sucks that gen 9 just gave up on creative names

[@KN-oc7cu]

I like how his and Jaidens vocal mannerisms are merging

[@donniejefferson9554]

I love stuff like this. Its so cool seeing people love pokemon that I've never really cared about. It's great that everyone can find a pokemon to love and each one has its fans. Like I really disliked most of the gen 9 pokemon but I love seeing that other people l9ve them. Sableye is the best guy though. Especially mega form. Ninetails, Perserker, and Piplup are also in the running. These are facts that can't be debated.

[@J.Blazer]

14:38 "I think Incineroar is the weakest final starter" Wolfe Glick: *standing ovation *

[@Katieluv2sing18]

Glad to see more love for Meloetta I love Meloetta and glad people also like Meloetta Meloetta is adorable and loves to sing and dance as much as I do Meloetta is underrated af Nice list Jacob!

[@eliplayz22]

For me, basically any Pokemon that is cute, looks at least remotely like a cat, and/or is Psychic, Ghost (not Goth btw, just that I like the sheer diversity of designs), Water, or Grass. Also, Jaiden's commentary at around the 3:00 minute mark made this more valuable

[@magicball3201]

Gen 2-5, shinies were mostly color shifting. A few, like legendaries and fan favorites (Charizard) were manually given colors, but this is why so many become the same ugly green, or you cam barely tell its shiny apart. Thats why giant woman had a shiny, lol

[@obviouslyanonymous]

OMFG THIS IS SUCH A GREAT LIST FORMAT, I LOVE LISTS

[@spyroclone152]

It's refreshing to see a big KZbinr that covers pokémon content that doesn't immediately dismiss the anthropomorphic/ humanoid pokémon designs to meet the societal status quo. Based taste Alpha, you keep being you!

[@hetzarrow6957]

Based

[@secondakira]

When I did this a couple of weeks back I was so so stumped by "favorite type" that I ended up creating huge excel spreadsheet where I ranked every single Pokémon on a scale of 0 to 10 and it would calculate my favorite types based on various metrics I came up with. xD Favorite type depends on the metric (Water, Ghost or Dragon), but my least favorite is definitely fairy.

[@jekfrumstotferm9830]

I'm glad Torterra was acknowledged. This is the sustenance I'll need for the next couple of years.

[@lichttod]

I understand that no one liked Pokestar Studios, but the costumes and gimmicks (giant lady) where fun

[@Huvinator]

Over the years Rowlett has earned a special spot in my heart for sure Gen 7 was awesome. I was a senior in highschool when those games came out 💀
