DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

...... Brock? I'm sticking with Mr Mime thanks.

[@Duskool]

The mention of Psychic pokemon on Gen 1 this time around made me realize they made quite a bunch of them, but for some reason only made one ghost type pokemon line.

[@usamahali7262]

Yeah, ghost and dragon were so clearly tacked on in gen 1 (not just having one evolution line each, but practically having no moves of said types) I wonder why they made type specialists for them over types that were more established at the time like normal or flying.

[@tommyjenkins6615]

I’ve been waiting for this one for so long

[@flaviusarcadiusvibes]

Another great video that ill watch a dozen times! Small error though, Mimes stats never show in gen 2, which is super important because they change from gen 1. They aren't shown on screen again until gen 5.

[@dib1420]

Ah yes I want to know how good Ash's dad is

[@cristiano7541]

Plot twist (officially confirmed) Ash caught the Mr. Mime

[@BandiniTheGreat]

He was an okay Pokemon, but a pretty terrible dad.

[@vanguardtrainer924]

@@cristiano7541 Ash caught his own dad.

Wait, this video isn't about Professor Oak...

[@paradoxtm8911]

Galarian Mr Mime and Rime are two of my favorite pokemon competitively, not because they're overly good but because I love gimmicks and the amount of random stuff you can pull with them is great.

[@primrosevale1995]

I feel like Triple Axel was designed for them.

Happy Easter, to everyone at False Swipe Gaming!

[@___TheDreamkeeper]

I really wanna see Lilligant because it’s a pretty useful Pokemon having access to the Own Tempo ability & Petal Dance

[@Queer-Eye]

Can we please have “ How good was Conkeldurr actually”

[@Tom-iv6kh]

Still waiting for the sinnoh lake trio, where the best music in the entire series resides

[@salvadorvelasquez6751]

I second this

[@nahuncanelas570]

I really enjoy your long videos, Idk but I can cook or something while listening

[@werbearjack]

That was so interesting - so many ups and downs, wow.

[@pmarley9519]

I started crying laughing @12:58 because of the sheer absurdity of what I'd just heard. I am just shocked at how well he did in this gen lmaooo

[@lostanguishbladelord2461]

Mime Jr. (Psychic) -----> Mr.Mime (Psychic*) ----> Jester Mime (Psychic/ Fairy {Friendship + Shiny Stone}) |----> Monster Mime ( Psychic/Dark {Hatred + Dusk Stone} ) --------> V. Mr.Mime (Psychic/Ice {cold snowy area)) -----> Mr.Rime (Psychic/Ice)

[@biratebryan5479]

Mr. Rime was a late pickup in my first VGC draft league. Despite it being on my team for only 5 weeks or so, I picked up 6 kills with it and was on my team for the last 3 weeks.

[@Alex-vm6ef]

Great vid, thanks

[@SivanasArtStudio]

I love this wacky mon! Mimien helped me crush the elite 4 on my first playthrough of leaf green. And Mr. Mime in detective Pikachu was perfect!! 😁

[@battleofthequeensyt3900]

Am I the only one wondering why there are different colored Mr.Mime’s in the gen 1 and 2 clips that aren’t it’s shiny ?

[@eIchristo]

Non-Shiny Pokémon varied in coloration in the Stadium series depending on their nickname. Normally the guaranteed way to get it to look "normal" as it's depicted in artwork and anime is to give it no nickname at all. I'm unsure why a non-nicknamed Mime is so yellowish though.

[@X9Z17]

Mr. Mime’s base card from the PTCG is op in 2021. It’s ability only lets it take damage from moves that do 20 damage or less. Inb4 “wah it’s not legal it doesn’t have 230hp and 2 abilities”.

[@takechanceslive]

I like that wind up it does before attacking

[@FalcnPWNCH]

I am honestly surprised that Mr.Mime had such an impressive career despite being overshadowed by other stronger psychic types it's entire life - I honestly thought this was gonna be a *_sub-10-minute whimper for Mimey_* - it's really cool to see these sort of pokemon posessing some extremely specific but powerful pockets of niche over the years, showing that *_MOST_* pokemon in this game can *_TRULY_* find themselves a place to call home *_SOMEWHERE_* in the competitive scene

[@IschmarVI]

except for Staraptor. That one is forever stuck in BL.

* How great was Ashs’ Dad Actually!*

[@adikritrahul689]

Yess, mr.mime! The psychic mime that is ‘fairy type’?

[@IschmarVI]

I assume it is miming gardevoir's typing?

[@DanPeters182]

Focus Sash Mime Jnr is an excellent VGC trick room setter, I give it power swap for an effective x-6 attack decrease after the speed swap too.

[@Fowa2003]

So I created a fun Mr.Rime set while playing Pokémon show down and the set is Hypnosis,Nasty Plot, Psyshock, Freeze Dry and the item is the Blunder policy so if I miss my hypnosis I can plus 2 speed making me out speed most Pokemon

[@darnell16player]

Never used Mr.Mime or it's evolution but stuff like this makes them both interesting

Gen 6 Mr Mime when someone mentions Mega Gardevoir: *Visible frustration*

This was really interesting towards the end. Its a shame dusclops and dusknoir didnt have niches like those two
