"Its 1/50 chance for shiny" shady misses the shiny slowking

[@dragonsgod6412]

How did he not see the blue on slowking's neck?

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Pink and blue are similar 😶

[@sage_669]

He is colour blind so yeah it's understandable that he didn't get that 😅.

[@alexheldman]

Let's be clear: it's 1/50 for the randomizer to provide a shiny Pokémon in place of one of the 3 starters. This Stat does not apply to the chances of picking it, even if those are better odds at 1/3. Either way there are many factors that go into this selection process. I just want to clear up where that 1/50 figure comes into play (although he did miss it twice which is an even more disappointing figure 😅😅)

japanese viewer here. nice concept for the video! i really like the respect for the language here. side note. at 3:49, Agojimushi is Grubbin. The name you're looking for was Dekagoose(Gumshoos)

I love this concept. You might also wanna try that with the German names eventually, would also be hilarious.

German is very silly

French has some amazing ones, and hearing them physically struggling to pronounce some of the sounds (since Shady as well as most of the clique already struggles with Japanese lmao) would be hilarious

[@NikeOlympus]

One thing I've noticed is that in the intro of most other channels, they'll usually say "me and my friend" when introducing the challenge, but Luke always says "my opponent" because there is no love on GameboyLuke. (Joking clearly, I know most of you are extremely close friends, just something I noticed and wanted to point out lol)

[@whisperingwooper1763]

lol I love that shiny slowking appeared twice it was upset about being ignored as a shiny last time lol 😂

[@noahhernando7167]

You all should do one where you tell them what their highest base stat is, but not what the number is. So for like Quaquaval you would say Attack, Skeledirge would be Special Attack, and Meowscarada would be Speed. If a mon has two stats tied for the highest, you can choose one.

[@johnmillay6790]

Nice ides

[@darioschottlender]

That's very nice, I once made a quiz and it's interesting how no one could guess how garchomp second highest stat is HP; but I think guessing on the second highest stat is way too much lol

2 videos from the retireees in the same day. Let's go!!

[@themathiasP]

Could you consider double battles when Shady is involved in a video (or anyone else for that matter)? Would spice up the videos a bit and I feel like Shady is much better at them.

[@shadowsoulless6227]

I'm so glad he gave the turtle explanation because the whole time I'm sitting there yelling at my screen KAME IS TURTLE Then when the other guy was talking about dragon Ball z I'm just like YES COME ON TURTLE WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THE TURTLE 🐢🐢🐢 Then he did and I felt whole again

[@twinleadersx8179]

So, just going to say it: one of the keys with Japanese pronunciation is that each vowel is always. ALWAYS. pronounced the exact same way. A is pronounced as in "Apple" or "fAther" E is pronounced as in "Egg" or "shEd" I is pronounced as in "Igloo" or "frIgId" O is pronounced as in "Oval" or "OctagOn" U is pronounced as in "fUme" or "rUde" Any vowels that have the line right above it are areas where you elongate the vowel pronounciation.

[@CanisMythson]

Think you need to tweak something, "Oh-Val" does not use the same O sound as "Awhk-ta-gawhn".

[@redox4604]

​@@CanisMythsonThat and the "apple" and "father". Would be better with "llama" and "father", or "apple" and "basket"

[@twinleadersx8179]

@@CanisMythson Fair enough. I was trying to find words which didn’t have the other pronunciations the Japanese version doesn’t use, and the ones I listed were the closest ones I could think of off of the top of my head. …Also, for Octagon, might’ve been influenced by how I would pronounce it if it was re-written in Japanese. I was trying to avoid words like…well, “word”, and such.

[@Stemorrow]

Love the videos, Luke. 👍

[@sickranchez4742]

"This language is so hard to speak" *laughs in Polish* Compared to Polish, Japanese is like Luke's game in the 4 player nuzlocke

[@aiooutxcaster8727]

How he said Ikuzo!! Was so calming 😊

[@YamiYaiba]

@gameboyluke So, Japanese is actually one of the easiest languages to speak at a beginner level, due to extremely rigid pronunciation rules. Syllables are always pronounced the same, and vowel sounds have no variations. So when you see 'a' in a romanized Japanese word, it's always pronounced as "ah", no exceptions. A, e, i, o, u; ah, eh, ee, oh, oo. Vowels are not really combined for different sounds either. "Ai" is literally just the A sound and the I sound, or "ah-ee." There are only two pseudo-exceptions, and both are a product of speaking at conversational speed. The ō that you sometimes see is just a condensed version of "ou", which would be oh-oo, but when spoken at conversational speed ends up sounding like an elongated "ohhh". "U" anywhere but the start of a word often gets half slurred out of existence, which is why Sasuke is pronounced "Sahs-keh" and not "sah-soo-keh" when spoken conversationally, though the latter is technically the correct pronunciation. Repeat consonants only kind of exist. There's a character that can be added to an existing character that basically means, "make this sound longer, but quickly". So "bokksu" (derived from "box") is really more like "bohk-ksu" with the 'kk' meant to replicate the sound of an "x" ('ks' sound in English) that doesn't exist in Japanese. It's often a way of writing loanword sounds that don't exist in Japanese. So basically it's English's fault for making words weird even in other languages. Just knowing that much gets you like 50% of the way to saying any romanized Japanese word correctly. There are rules for non-vowels too, but that's enough for now.

[@mariehm86]

I know Japanese is hard to pronouce - But here's a trick for when R or L is involved. Admittetly a hard trick - "Think L but say R" And another "trick" is that when a name has "su" fade out when saying the "u" after the s. Again - takes time to learn and I DON'T demand you doing it. ^^ Thanks for these fun videos Another few hints to maybe help you guys decipher stuff in other challenges with Japanese: zou - elefant in Japanese (As someone rightly told in the comments - elefant is zou not sou) kani- crab in Japanese kame - turtle in Japanese And Sandy Shocks had Suna (meaning) sand in the name ^^

[@twinleadersx8179]

...it's "zou". "zou" is elephant.
