"Corona, Delta, Omicron" those got me rolling.

[@molcatz9634]

That and the before pandemic and after pandemic ones

[@clintbrew]

Might use these names for my zubats

Bats

[@Kostte-zp6he]

the facts that i am still laughing is kinda scare myself.

[@Deper91]

“Abra, Kadabra, Now You’re In A Cult” genuinely got me cracking up, love these names!

[@Soldadodelasombra]

hahahahahahahahaha that and the beetleborg one got me

[@donaldderrickii5405]

I almost choked on my lunch I was so unprepared for it and was cackling.

[@THESILVERNARUTO]

I losttttt it. I almost spit out my dinner and I was okay with that

[@GoblinZone1]

I was playing Tony Hawk and I was like "Hold up- did he just-"

[@jamesshadeslayer3395]

i laughed through the whole name thing

“Nothing numbs the pain of existing like regressing into your childhood for a few hours” that hit too close to home

[@violetsparkles5453]

See but even then I'd rather do that for free. Not spend 80 dollars!!!

[@lanbao2010]

Hahahah that’s exactly how Pokémon is for me-feeling called out

[@maven12LA]

Why they gotta call us out like dat

[@nicoleebner4929]

Bruh.. I felt SO called out..

[@ChrisByersmusic]

seriously called out there, haha ...."continues playing with 2-XL robot toy"

[@vustvaleo8068]

"Disney child actors when they turn 18" is accurate lol.

[@SuperJosteen]

that one had me rolling too, too accurate

[@chardaskie]

Just look at Poor Millie

[@RedRaikou]

Springbreakers haha

[@geardog24]

"Giving up on your dreams to work a corporate job feet" Sounds about right.

[@kryptonianguest1903]

At least it's better than working a corporate foot job.

[@volpelunare3613]

I wanted to be a swordplay martial arts instructor in the movies........I know plan their buses.

[@arininquotes8396]

I'm playing Shining Pearl as I watch this, and "barely diamond, sorta pearl" really got me

[@slevinchannel7589]

Yeah, how is it really? Without any nostalgia-goggles?

[@V-Jes]

@@slevinchannel7589 It's Gen 4 at it's best but it's also very accurate to the original Diamond and Pearl version what are some of the worst games in the series, so ironically it's better when it's not accurate to the original version (like the new features, changed movepools and AI on later Gyms etc) and at it's worst when it IS accurate to the originals (like the selection of Pokemon, the Pokemon trainers use, the region etc), but overall a 7/10 type game.

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

Makes me wish they went the full ORAS route with it and added wild areas, Dynamax, full-on graphics update and such, because asdie from soundtrack, they really didn't improve much. And the made Cynthia's challenging team downright BROKEN.

[@jessemulock1163]

@@MrKlausbaudelaire you mean what we were all expecting? A remake based on the best 3rd game built on the foundations of current gen systems? Man that would have been nice...

[@jonathandoherty9082]

The covid, delta, omnicron, before/after pandemic, and Ashes step-dad have me dying😂

[@slevinchannel7589]

Yes

[@senpieloven]

I haven't laughed that hard in a while 😂 "you're way too tired to care about anything new"

[@cyropyro]

That's what we call an "Oof truth".

[@mattianwin2657]

They really called all of us out

[@THEEND4444]

“Up, but with the Hindenburg” Actually made me laugh

[@magicmulder]

Except they misspelled it Hindenberg (probably thinking of Heisenberg).

[@magicmulder]

@Zach Edwards I do, that's why I noticed the video misspells it.

[@maximusb.4099]

Ash's stepdad made me laugh a little too hard. Mr. Mime is basically a full grown man who is ALWAYS with his mom.

[@prometeo_X]

yeah we get it

[@metaknight1410]

Ash's mom's Mime is actually a female, so its technically Ash's Stepmom.

[@chaitanyaghuge540]

Gengar has been my favorite Pokemon since Pokemon Blue in 1998. It makes sense now

[@lilmissknowitall5775]

my niece does it too

[@Kentrc11]

Puberty

[@smoke301]

yeah it is

[@acepedro12]

I appreciate a lot the energy Jon put into this particular "starring". Merry Christmas, you guys!

[@Jim_WoodPike_Gherkin_WangWick]

Yeah he probably had help but I liked how some were a pretty funny commentary

[@ilias6443]

"Machamp me father" killed me.

[@flamendless]

That george transition from curious to full on drag is genius 😂

[@hasattime943]

Zubat line was the best part

[@johnjsal]

Obviously we need more Pokemon remakes so that we can continue to get the Honest Trailer nicknames for all the pokemon each time! :)

[@AlMoSiCe210]

We still didn't get one for Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee! 😅

[@awildmoose6541]

@@AlMoSiCe210 dont say its name. Its best we forget.

[@DominicWatch]

@@awildmoose6541 why? They are not bad games

[@vaelegoro7782]

This needs a spin-off series where you cynically try to predict what new games will be like based solely on the trailers shown off

[@blackpow3r]

The Corona, Delta, and Omicron had me spitting my drink out. That was perfect for that pokemon line! 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

[@chasenuts4400]

Ash's stepdad got me good.. Jesus christ lmfao

[@ChicagoMel23]

Jesus’s name shouldn’t be an exclamation

[@theyinyang1103]

Painal beads made me laugh way too hard.

[@AntaresTwo6]

When they said Cynthia was no joke, they weren't kidding around.... Diamond and Pearl series is the only one I did not play when it first came out, so this was my first time playing both.

[@lanbao2010]

Cynthia’s Pokémon nearly wiped my team… I’m just thankful for healing items.

[@MiriaJiyuu]

Yeah..... when he said the difficulty curve is a flat line I was like, not quite, its more like ________________I Just flat until the very end

@@vjbd2757 thing is, is kinda hard to not overlevel considering the always on exp sharing system...

First time also but i have to ....do the...nuzlocke

[@josh11735]

That second WILSON! for Cascoon really caught me off guard 🤣 Also, perhaps you guys could do a trailer for Halo Infinite? :D

[@Unchainedmaple888]

I'd love to see them roast Infinite's multiplayer. Also, "The Arbiter" lmao

[@actiaslunatn7729]

"Before Pandemic, After Pandemic" was just amazing... and too true.

[@deamonmindgaming2054]

Ash's Stepdad hits hard until you remember that Ash's mom has been alone at home with him for what seems like years now.

[@KingJH0510]

As a 10+ year long pokemon fan whose played every game since gen 3, i can confirm that everything in this video is true

[@lewdawg5196]

There not as good as they could be that I knew before I watched this trailer. But...I still want to play them.

[@samuelconnolly347]

'From goth to boss' really cracked me up! Absolutely love that the (presumably American) writers can throw in an IT Crowd reference! Didn't think it was a comedy that was popular outside the UK.

[@justintravis8670]

Came here to comment on this, too. IT Crowd is my favorite comedy from y'all's side of the pond.

[@Salemwaaa]

“Machamp me father” that was PERFECTION

[@travisc7722]

So much about this is just spot on.

[@maxxor-overworldhero6730]

@MaztaPan I guess this trailer isn't _that_ honest.

[@gameking3278]

“OK, are you a mouse or a rabbit?“ Honestly I’ve wondered the same thing about Pikachu.

[@silversalamence10]

"Corona, Delta, Omicron." as harsh as that is, that was rather amusing.

[@andrewauerbach3441]

4:23 "Before Pandemic, after Pandemic" is basically me. Ugh, I need to lose 25-30lbs

[@user-xc1hf2eg7p]

I'm glad someone remembers Big Bad Beetle Borgs

[@samuelsmith2247]

"From goth to boss" really got me. Never thought I'd witness an IT Crowd reference in a Pokemon related video.

[@Greater_Impact]

When honest trailer does Legends Arceus Me: "my God..." My friend: "which one? You have five"

[@kureijijohndoe1932]

You forgot to name the glitches in the game being as broken as the original game. People wanted to spend money to see those glitches as well

[@lilmissknowitall5775]

my niece guessed these pokemon names and she also called the Penguin "happy feet"

[@Nadcrafter]

Love the Owls of Gahool reference! Gahooligans where my owls at? Hoot hoot

[@ChicagoMel23]

Yay

[@xx7956]

Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are such faithful remakes that they brought back Flint's original DP team.

[@dawid3517]

That's what all remakes did

[@luizbezerra4373]

Ok, the nicknames for the Zubat line were gold hahahah

[@luislujan8784]

Great job coming up with all those names. Extremely funny, they kept getting funnier and funnier

[@IceAssassin25]

I think it's a shame that we still haven't gotten a honest game trailers on any of the Timesplitters games yet. It just sucks that one of the greatest fps franchises has been left out of these.

[@Chris-cv7hk]

I'm surprised TimeSplitters was even mentioned at all in this comments section.

[@UnclePhil73]

“Hard Mode Butt Plug” 😂🤣🤣🙂🙂

[@MrGolfcart]

"The Arbiter" for Toxicroak killed me

The shoutout to Pokemon Showdown is amazing. Literally the only place to ladder in Pokemon lmao

[@adamgreenlee7651]

I love all the names you though of for the Pokemon. That must have taken a while to do but I was laughing so damn hard. It made me think of the Game of Thrones rap with all the deaths to the Pokemon song.

[@gregsochacki7290]

As someone who stopped playing after Gen 2 and started back at X/Y I can appreciate to see what I missed in better graphics.

[@EmeralBookwise]

But the originals already had the better graphics :-p

[@AdamGlory]

@@EmeralBookwise As someone who stopped after this gen, I disagree.

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@AdamGlory: just adding more pixels and polygons do not "better" graphics make. The original D/P had an art style designed around the limitations of the system they were on. All BD/SP do is emulate that style on a system which no longer has the same limitations. It loses the charm and is in no way an improvement... certainly not one worth nearly twice the asking price of those originals.

[@AdamGlory]

@@EmeralBookwise That’s totally fair, actually. I’m curious what you think would have actually made them better, for the sale of visualizing it?

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@AdamGlory: Well, if the guiding principle was just supposed to be as "faithful" to the originals as possible, I don't think we needed remakes at all, when we could have gotten ports at less than a third of the cost. But to entertain the idea of an actual remake, graphically I'd have wanted to see something more in line with Let's Go. Those games have a gorgeous art style that is unified across both field and battle scenes while still invoking nostalgia for the classic Game Boy originals. To be clear I'm only saying I would have wanted BD/SP to look like Let's Go, not play like them. Although the following mechanic was definitely better implemented in Let's Go game, without any of the weird scaling issues larger mon have BD/SP, not to mention the addition of some Pokémon being rideable. Setting graphics aside, BD/SP should have also included the improvements from the remake D/P already had, aka, Platinum. More of the updates from that game should have been included to make for the best Sinnoh experience possible. Along with maybe a post game Distortion Episode instead of just sticking Giratina at the bottom of an otherwise unimportant cave.

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

I've got both Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl for Christmas but I'm going to wait in January for the news on the update of Wonder Trades and GWS (Global Wonder Station) because they're the important part of the Pokemon Games even though Link Trade is available.
