Fun fact: you could actually see the form of urshifu by looking at the triangle-like-headband and the leg. If it's down then it's the rapid form, and if it's up then it's the single strike

The chemistry between you and Shady really is one of a kind. You guys have that connection that makes your videos a pleasure to watch. The many hilarious interactions between you two makes these videos top tier content. Always look forward to seeing you two upload together!

[@Vintendo]

Much love Steve!!

I love these backstory videos 😂 it's always funny to see how creative you can get with these especially with the Vinny and Shady dynamic

[@Vintendo]

Shady is a genius for coming up with this premise 😂

[@Phobiaph0bic]

I hate to break it to you that, not only is Cyndaquil not a porcupine, but despite being called the “Fire Mouse” Pokémon, it’s an echidna.

[@SpinoRexDino]

“I am no space porcupine I am an echidna warrior” -knuckles from the sonci mov

[@ArtestMb]

@@SpinoRexDino the cut off makes this bett

[@suicidalphoenix8768]

An echidna that becomes a weasel that becomes a wolverine/honey badger mix

[@telllboil]

The P Diddy Pokémon...

[@diegulamondigimon1688]

Echidna are kind of like Hedgehogs, right? Cyndaquil in German is called Feurigel, Feu(e)r means fire and Igel means hedgehog

[@gluttonousgoddess]

I love that you'd lose to Joltik. Like, you could step on it, but could you handle the emotional turnoil? Plus it's like letting your little sibling win.

5:37 the myriad of emotions on Shady's face...

[@j.rileyindependentproductions]

Shady's choice of the witch's name was so deliberate and specific, one has to wonder if it's the name of an ex or a hated elementary/middle school teacher.

[@CelestialAura7]

I have a funny feeling it’s referencing the witch from Elden ring with the same name

[@ladyV-hara]

Vinnie and Shady are the peak combo for these videos. Absolutely hilarious.

Can’t believe Shady referred to Hydreigon as a “Herculean tale”… because the three heads reminded him of Cerberus. THE HYDRA WAS FROM THAT STORY TOO!!!

[@CameraManBryan]

Came here to say that too! Haha

"Chips Ahoy... that's cookies!" I love how silly you are keep up the great work!

I've said it once, and I'll say it again Vinny and Shady are the best and silliest duo. These back stories are amazing and Vinny was crazy this video 🤣🤣

[@nicholasbeecher8144]

"Hey vinnie there's a shiny legendary" "Ok that's cool I'm gonna try to pick it" Okay these are the Pokemon this on right here shoots ink and the next one is this mystical moon pokemon" "Huh well imma pick the one that shoots ink even though there's no legendary that shoots ink"

Vinny’s Cyndaquil story is even better when you consider that Uncle Jerry is a Hisuian Typhlosion now

[@jonic7253]

Vinny dude I know this is an old video and you probably won’t see this but your personality is so enjoyable man you legitimately need a tv show

[@motogramer40]

So learned shady can read lips

[@kingghidorable931]

Weird how he was thinking of Cerberus when looking at iron jugulus when it’s based off of the hydra which is another task of herculeus

[@MotorcycleCheetah]

Bruh, Vinny cracked me the f**k up in this video. Can we please get a series where you’re just, comedically telling stories? Cause I would watch that everyday.

[@eruakyqoyupcvgkx]

i would LOVE to see shady and vinny live irl together playing glover

[@whisperingwooper1763]

Absolutely love you two together! The backstories were fantastic

[@MendedPearl]

the whole "eyes on me" absolutely destroyed me omg so good

[@MrDarthtater]

Vinny turned into Doug dimmadome lmao

[@NovelVanguard]

Vinny let’s be honest here shall we. A Milotic would destroy you in a fight you’d have less than chance to win. And the only way you could beat a machop would be if he got so jealous of your beard he forfeited the match

[@indominusrex2859]

15:43 iron jungulus is made with breeding of hyrdreigon and robot canonically

[@RabblesTheBinx]

Not canonically. Nothing in those magazines is canon, they're a satire of real-world tabloids.

@@FuryMcpurey truth also the reason Typhlosion don't give a shit

[@ErikaCartet]

i know it’s called the “fire mouse” pokemon but also its japanese name is a portmanteau of fire and porcupine/hedgehog… so i don’t think it’s wrong to also say it’s a porcupine, definitely not the craziest thing vinny’s said when describing pokemon as irl animals lol (such as describing a mienshao as a mongoose OR meerkat in this video when it’s an ermine) although lbr, cyndaquil is 100% an echidna

[@saularias365]

23:34 Vinny out there sounding like Tom the Cat! XD Awesome video!
