ASH VS BRANDON IN THE CROWN TUNDRA! | Pokémon Sword & Shield Anime

[@TheAAJYu]

Brandon and his quest to acquire all the Regis really is a perfect fit for the Crown Tundra.

[@Funniblockman]

Bro is out there catching the Regi’s like Ash inadvertently attracting girls. But hey at least we get a trainer who has a reason to have legendaries *cough cough* Fuck Tobias *cough cough*

[@ezrabaker974]

This made me laugh so hard I don’t why!

[@simionmatei9715]

Still hate that guy

[@creeperdude4405]

Know what? Forget Journeys, I’m counting this as an official Pokemon anime. Everything about it is top tier!

[@Zactoshi]

Thank you 🥹

[@raymondmaciel4047]

@@ZactoshiHey man, I’m a big fan of your channel. So I know people were disappointed on Pokémon aim to be a Pokémon Master, so I came up with a perfect way to end Ash and Pikachu’s story, wanna hear it.

SAME HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@KuroBlitz]

Shiny Copperajah is just amazing! I love how you made the Legendaries actuall feel LEGENDARY with their power level. The way Ash gets Rillaboom is super sweet and in character. All Bird Raids are a great example of teamwork & synergy. I can imagine Regieleki being in a Underground Hideaway nearby Valley Windworks. Man, you're putting BDSP to shame. Using the Split-Decision Ruins as a Hisui nod is brilliant, OMG! I love how Regirock stays to fight the 3 Rock Type Nobles. Since Regidrago was probably crafted by Eternatus's scales, them creating distortions with draconic power is so fitting. Zac, this is by far one of my favourite episodes thus far. The way the plot interweaves is way better then the games tbh.

[@Zactoshi]

Thanks bro 😊🔥

[@cometcartoons8528]

Seriously you’re doing the sword and shield series justice. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do for the second half of the crown tundra arc, which is where I assume you’ll have calyrex and Lillie.

[@Geezer_Weezer]

All this stuff is pre league content done right. No filler, engaging stories where it really feels like the characters are growing more.

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

Thinking about it, it does make a lot of sense to have Brandon return in the Pokemon Anime to capture the two new Regi Pokemon. Never understood why they didn't do that with the actual anime.

[@anerdwithamic]

Because it’s Journeys, where good ideas and potential get thrown in the gutter

[@Justin-pl3qx]

Zac cooking can't miss any details and setting up future plot and arcs to come another banger for all the episodes. Cool that Brandon revealed to Ash Paul defeated at the battle pyramid in Snowpoint City. Great battle between Pikachu and Regieleki. Can't wait to here from Paul when Ash meet how his battle against Brandon went. Bringing up Ash's status as Alola champion at significant moments meeting former Champion. A shock Peony knows about word is getting far out there in Galar.

[@eljordinio7647]

Brandon is a highlight of this arc. He should be a main character going forward Brandon: *NOOOOO!!!*

[@jaredthomas4663]

Brandon knows best 😅

[@pokelover1743]

I am so excited to see Brandon back in the Crown Tundra researching the new Regis!... I feel sorry for anyone who decides to fight him in a 5v5 and he decides to just flex all of his Regis because he can

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Favorite part of this video was the nod back to DP series by revealing that Paul did beat Brandon at some point!

[@jakandratchet9930]

Something I wish the actual anime confirmed when Paul returned. My one gripe with that episode was not revealing the outcome of Paul’s rematch with Brandon. It would’ve also given Goh a strong idea on Paul’s capabilities if Ash revealed what kind of Pokémon Brandon had as well, including the 3 Regis. Especially if Paul defeated Brandon in a 6 on 6 battle.

[@psychicmaster92]

Curious how he'll throw in the Calyrex or Lillie stories into this arc?

[@aureliamastergoomba1278]

Lillie’s episode return will stay the same I’d guess with some Calyrex addition

[@Yoyoturtle]

Lillie is in the season picture so she’s probably gonna be in the next video

[@thenintendosquad3252]

Great to see Thwacky finally evolving into Rillaboom. And now Ash have a Fully evolve team. I think Thwacky evolve by fighting Articuno was a great evolution moment.

[@Flameexe67]

This actually makes sense for Brandon to be in the crown Tundra arc

[@eljordinio7647]

Although I wouldn't be surprised if he was also after the Galar legendary birds. He does have the originals on his team in Emerald

[@justinjoy3211]

I also love the fact that u timed Thwatchy evolution perfectly alongith the legendary battles ..and to top it Branddon return and the Regis..u even managed to give more lure to the story with Paul's mention from his last line to Ash in Sinnoh....this is what Pokemon should be and u have nailed it perfectly

[@dericksmith6526]

I love the fact that we have a full Crown Tundra arc just like with the Isle of Armor. The cliff hanger was crazy, and I'm excited to see what happens next.

[@logancote8636]

Brandon making a return and another Regi? This is about to be another moment in CINEMA!

[@GabrielTifofis]

Brandon might finally be able to catch Regigigas after catching Regieleki and Regidrago

[@eljordinio7647]

Great set of episodes! I liked seeing Gloria get all kinds of different Pokemon, and how the Dynamax Adventures were implemented here. Brandon searching for Regidrago was neat too! It's really picking up with that ending cliffhanger, can't wait to see the next set!

[@brennocardoso334]

This episode was just AMAZING, loved it to see Brandon back and the introduction to more Hisuian Forms, despite being a littler disappointed that Ash didn't got to catch one of his own😅

[@theboiclobbopus2342]

its too late in the series for that. already 8 badges and league a few episodes away

[@snakeshifter02]

I feel like if that first episode actually happened, this could be a real exchange given Ash’s track record: Peony: I don’t get your attitude, boy. What’re you, her super secret boyfriend or something?? Peonia: Dad, no!!! Ash: Boyfriend? What, like a friend who’s a boy? (hop and gloria proceed to do that thing where they fall over in exasperation)

[@KoolBeanz101]

though a short part of this, I love how you made rose sad that peony isn't there to be with him during his plan, since they both felt the sadness of loosing thier father. It's little moments like these that give the villian more depth and make you empathize with them Also giving Peony shiny copperajah was really smart and totally unexpected

[@ich-bin-niemand5287]

That was the first part I see "fresh", since I started last weekend with this series. I love how you put old characters and even Hisui Pokémon to this! It is an amazing work!

[@Jadinite-2006]

Speaking of which, I wondered if that Suicune the group encountered was the same on that Ash met all the back to the Johto Region, was Suicune following Ash in secret?

Brandon returning for the Crown Tundra is such an awesome fit! Learning that Paul was able to beat him is awesome too, it really shows his overall growth! Looking forward to what’s in store with Regigigas!

[@thethundernado6670]

How cool. You are making the Regigigas appearance in Journeys actually relevant this time

[@castform7]

I really liked Thwackey's evolution. It's standard "evolve to protect trainer) fair but it never fails to be cool. Also excited to see the Regigigas fight because of us getting super snubbed of one in Journeys.

[@legobrick1356]

I like the touches with the Shinies. It's like with the anime Winona having Shiny Swellow, to impart how much different these are from previous versions of the Pokémon that have previously appeared (though in her case, it was undoubtedly so viewers could tell her's and Ash's apart from one another, and honestly Shinies are never really touched upon in the anime in any other way barring a few cases, some aren't even Shinies like how Z2 had a blue hexagon). Copperajah because Peony and his brother have the same type specialty, and by extension both have a Copperajah and this only allows it to identify that even if they look similar, they are very different from their counterparts (both in regards to the Pokémon and their trainers). And then with Regigigas it confirms to Ash and Brandon (if he returns quickly) that this Regigigas will certainly not be the same fight they had once before with the previous one they encountered.

[@axels3188]

This was a good part You included the crown tundra well Chairman rose referred to his brother while after his meeting with Leon Gloria gets a call from Magnolia who says to visit the Crown tundra and do the Dynamax adventures we’re they run into Peonia who is hiding from her dad and want to do the Dynamax adventures which she joins them then they run into Peony Her dad who wants them to have a Father Daughter day together but she was to do her own thing which ash defends her for it it was funny that Peony fought Ash was her Boyfriend and Peonia’s Blush to it was nice which they both disagree but Peony doesn’t believe them and challenged Ash to a battle since he only let a boy as strong as him to around her so Pikachu vs Copperajah also nice one making his Shiny to make if different to Rose’s which Ash wins and Peony recognise Him as the Alola Champion and allows Peonia to join them but only if he joins then so they all challenged the Dynamax adventures while only Fouth Trainers are allowed to enter as to avoid over exposure to Dynamax energy but Peony asisted to join them so they went through and Gloria captured more Dynamax Pokemon and they eventually encounter a Dynamax Suicune and they battle but Peony’s GMax Copperajah went wild because of the over exposure to Dynamax energy leading then to loss and Suicune to excape and Peonia blames her dad for it because of his Clinging to her and runs off which Peony reveals he lost his Dad at a young age which is why he is clingy to her nice reference to the Journey backstory for Chairman Rose and Peony says he will capture the Legendary of the Tundra to impress her and Ash and the gang join him which they encountered the Galarian Legendary birds and they each battle them with GLoria and Peony battle Moltrie Hop battling Zapdos and Ash battles Articuno while they didn’t beat and Capture any of them Twackey evolves into Rillaboom to save Ash and Pikachu from falling off a cliff then Ash gets lost in a Blizzard but I saved by Brandon of the battle pyramid and they reunite with the others were Brandon revealed he is here to capture Regidrago and reveals that Paul had finally beat him then Ash battles Brandon Pikachu vs his recent catch Regieliki and the battle went on until Brandon calls it off being impressed by Ash’s growth then they went to the Ruins of Hisui were Time Distortion happen which they encounter Hisuian forms of Pokemon who are Gaurding the Chambers were Peony Gloria and Hop battle them with Brandon’s Regi Trio while Ash and Brandon go to awaken Regidraco and battle then with Pikachu and Regieliki which they beat it and Brandon captures which Gloria had Catched two Hisuian forms then Brandon leaves for Sinnoh while thanking Ash for his help then Ash and the gang continue on while not Knowing They had awakened a Shiny Regigigus I like that you brought back Brandon for the New Regis which Journey never did and did a conclusion to Paul’s Rematch and that you introduced Peony and Peonia in to your series and have further shown more of the Hisuian Pokemon.

Seeing Ash and his friends interact with Peony and Peonia was awesome, especially when the former thought he was the latter's boyfriend and, being the overprotective father that he is, challenges Ash to a battle, only to realize he's the Alolan Champion. I also like how each of them tried to battle and capture the Galarian Legendary Birds, only for them to escape and Ash reunites with Brandon and learning how Paul managed to beat him. I definitely like how you had all the Hisuian Pokémon be guardians of Regidrago and having Gloria capture some of them. But with Regidrago now freeed from its resting place, Regigigas is about to make its appearance known. Looking forward to the next episode.
