[@BlazePlayzGames62]

you really should do an elite four and champion, having matpat being the champion.

[@hunterchichester5720]

[@muffledkerfuffle]

I definitely agree they are the perfect elite four! But before I build their team I wanna see a few of their theories. I really look forward to this new era of theorists!!!

[@yoxes7560]

And people like steph Goomba and Ryder could be gym leaders

[@muffledkerfuffle]

You’re so right! That’s such an amazing idea!!!

[@brantjustilian3791]

Zoroark could fit for film theory because it’s the Pokémon that lines the most with matpat’s history as a theater kid. Plus Matpat is always adapting like Zoroark’s illusions.

[@muffledkerfuffle]

That’s a solid choice!

[@Shalakor]

Yeah, I think this is probably the best sub in if disallowing PokeStar Studios opponents. The other options fall too much into the pitfall of focusing in on specific film genres, but Zoroark is more of just sharing a thematic vibe with film theorizing and MatPat's background.

[@pikapikachu1823]

​@Shalakor And Not To Mention The Obvious Fact Of Zoroark Getting Their Own Movie... So It Has More Of A Reason To Fit In. And It's Pre-evolution Was Shown To Be A Movie Star In One Of The Pokemon B/W Anime Episodes

"There isn't really a Pokémon that represents films" _Sad Inteleon noises_

[@muffledkerfuffle]

lol tbf I did say that there was a lot of references to film. But I meant more the concept of film as a general art form

[@DarthMolgy]

@@muffledkerfuffle well, Inteleon kinda is that. The Galar starters all represent different forms of entertainment: Cinderace is Sports, Rillaboom is Music and Inteleon is Film. Sure it also draws inspired from a specific film compared to the more broad concepts of the other two, but in the context of this trio it still functions as the representative of film.

[@muffledkerfuffle]

That’s definitely a fair point! But if I was going to make a Pokemon basketball team, I wouldn’t use a cinderace to represent basketball. Cinderace doesn’t represent all of sports, even if he belongs in the broad category of sports entertainment.

[@muffledkerfuffle]

I definitely think inteleon is a fine choice though! I just felt the purpose of the pokestar studio Pokémon were meant to exist for the sole purpose of film. And end of the day, inteleon is a solid option!

[@gameboy3d943]

And Mr. Rime

[@Artraluiz]

Inteleon is a secret agent, also representing actors, and it seeks out intel (knowledge) so Inteleon would be a great fit

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Solid pick! I definitely agree Pokémon like inteleon, tyranitar, etc. are great to represent specific movies, but Really inteleon just fits one set of movies and not the whole concept of film itself.

[@Shalakor]

@@muffledkerfuffle May be better fits on the eventual Film Theory themed Elite Four team when the new hosts have had time to develop a catalogue of their own videos. Hmm, Steph could have a GTLive themed team, but what kinda trainer/story role she'd have in this hypothetical game is harder to pin down. Gym Leader and such doesn't quite fit. Maybe the "professor" role?

6:24 Furfrou also works. Probably even better than Leavanny!

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Yeah Furfrou is definitely an interesting option!

[@Shalakor]

Although, thinking of him as a Champion, Leavanny is the better choice to type diversity. Already has a couple Normal types. And it's not like MatPat himself did anywhere near as much experimenting with hair styling as with clothing styling over the course of the the videos he worked on in that area.

[@Mcflyeon]

As a fan of Pokémon and Mat Pat, this is well thought of throughout 👍. I would pick Lucario to represent film theory since it stars in a movie (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew but it was l used for he Brycen-Man series for Pokestar Studio) or Inteleon who is similar to James Bond.

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Thank you! Lucario and inteleon are also great options!

[@13KuriMaster]

Zoura and Zororark might have been good alternatives for the Film Theory spot.... It references an anime character that has one and dose film work (including being prevalent in the anime's Pokestar studio based episode), but it also debuted in a movie and you might be able to spin the Illusion ability to parallel how many Film Theories involve uncovering things the studios want to hide from you (dispelling Illusions, so to speak.... which I guess is kinda the opposite of what Zororark dose, but I like the 'mon).

[@sky8ash]

For Film Theory, going out of people you can catch as a player, I would choose Iron Thorns and for the 6th pokemon, I would of personally went with Mew due to Mew's dna & also the playground rumor of Mew under the truck.

For proper type diversity Lucario definitely works!

[@DaSheepKiller]

You can still have an actual Pokémon represent Film Theory. Others have mentioned Inteleon, but I think Iron Thorns is also a good choice. One of the PokéStar Studios mons is a robot Tyranitar, and Iron Thorns is based on that same concept.

Gotta Catch 'Em All! This was a creative and thoughtful homage to MatPat and the Theorists. I like the Pokémon you picked out to be representatives of the channels and theories in general.

[@Zoroarkarceus123]

While I'm aware that Snorlax was a personal choice, we do have a Pokémon that's a gormond and fits the food tester idea a little more thematically: Lickilicky. Snorlax is less associated with cooking than it is the concept of a bear gorging before hibernation, while our resident cunning linguist is specifically designed to align better with what Food Theory stands for. That being said, yeah, I know it was a personal pick, but I like rambling.

Ranking the Pokémon chosen Porygon for Game Theory: 10/10 it fits perfectly since one you get it at the game corner after playing the “games”, two it’s a digital Pokémon which most games are now played on, and three it evolves like an arg Humanoid/majin for film theory: 2/10, I get what you’re aiming for, but I think giving a non canon Pokémon is a bit off tbh. I would give him Mewtwo instead since it appeared in the most movies, is very intelligent like MatPat, and is even tied to the ditto theory, where it was said dittos were failed mew clones and Mewtwo was the only “successful” clone. Leavanny for fashion theory: 9/10 it is a very unique take and I don’t see people using it or suggesting such an underrated Pokémon. However I think there is one Pokémon that fits pretty good, mimikyu. Mimikyu fits the fashion aspect since it made its own pikachu costume to look less scary, it also implies that it repairs it’s costume after battle since it has the ability disguise. It also fits the theory aspect since no one knows how mimikyu looks under its disguise, with many saying that if you look at it you die, or mimikyu will kill you for doing so and leave room to theorize what it might look like. Still Leavanny is a solid choice Rotom for live: 10/10, can’t really think of a better Pokémon to choose for live than Rotom. As for the form, I see MatPat using the better competive version of Rotom (which was heat or wash I forget), but giving him base Rotom would be funny. Just imagine MatPat taking out his Rotom phone, saying I choose you, and Rotom comes out that’s funny. And finally Detective Pikachu: 6/10, I don’t think it fits MatPat too much. Here are some I think work Deyoxis the DNA Pokémon and can represent theory as a whole. Clefairy/Clefable was said to come from the moon and evolves from a moon stone so MatPat can study it’s origin. Ditto cause it can transform, breed with any Pokémon, and is a mysterious Pokémon on its own. However there’s one that is the best, Hitmochan, why MatPat said in a theory video that had a crush on Hitmochan, so do with what you will with the info and the choice 😐

I forgot to mention Snorlax for food theory, so uhm 10/10. Most people think of snorlax when thinking of food and Pokémon.

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Thank you!

[@ka1ebsauce]

I feel like the G Unown would be better than pikachu. A line of pokemon with scattered pasts and a main move literally called "Hidden Power" really hits the theory and mystery notes. If you wanted an actual pokemon for Film Theory, i guess Chatot? I dont know im stumped on this one aswell.

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Unown can be a solid option. I just felt it was tied to much to Pokemon itself and not really the themes found throughout the theorist channels (maybe the ciphers used?) I think unown t would work better than g. G only references game theory and GT live. Unown t can reference all theorist channels and theories

[@_lumpia]

i feel like mew would’ve also been good pokemon to represent theory

[@muffledkerfuffle]

That’s true! Especially for the gen 1 games

[@haydon5443]

I thought you would go for unknown pokemon

[@user-rd2kc2dr7j]

I would have given roton to food theory, sice he can turn into things that mat used or would use on food theory

[@muffledkerfuffle]

That’s a fair point

[@Hoysoy4141]

Blood moon ursaluna for fnaf, the franchise that he is famous for, and put him on the spot

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Yeah if I was to make a more personalized team I would focus on main theories like fnaf, sans is ness, etc.

[@shellder_gaming]

I WANT GAME THEORY CAN CAN

[@jamesmackay4913]

8:00 RYAN REYNOLDS dude that made me bust out laughing so hard. Wonderful video.

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Thank you!!!

[@learnasienes2983]

The 6 member in my opinion should have been unknown

[@muffledkerfuffle]

That’s a good choice!

[@williamhiles9300]

For style theory, you also could’ve done furfro- furfrou? I dunno, the Kalos Dog.

[@williamhiles9300]

And for film you could’ve given him meloetta (the red one)

[@Pofey]

LAST SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNKNOWN

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Specifically Unown T for theorists

[@Humanity_Will_Die]

Evil Team, each executive is the people in charge of each of the channels Matpat is the leader obviously

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Some people wanted a champion and elite four type dynamic, but evil team would be just as cool!

[@zachpro5475]

IMO I don’t like you using humanoid and defective pikachu on his team so if you had to choose a different one I would choose for film iron thorns because it has an interesting poke Dex entry and it’s inspired by mech tryanitar in black and white 2 and for his ace it has to be blood moon ursaluna be caus Fnaf and it mysterious was better pick than any except for detective pikachu witch is only available in a game is Pokémon go and that’s a spin off. Also please do the elite four teams next

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Those are great options! I’m not gonna do the elite four next. I’d like for the new theorists to get their turn at shining before I build their teams! I’ll definitely revisit soon.

[@astutheit]

I would have maybe switched Furfrou for Style theory, and even though it wouldn't be strong, Unknown for the general "Theory" pokemon. But overall, good list!

[@muffledkerfuffle]

It’s all good! Though if I chose Furfrou I’d prolly change Snorlax so matpat didn’t have 3-4 normal types

[@astutheit]

@@muffledkerfuffleIn that case for the Food Theory mon I would go Appleton, my favorite of that line even with Diplin & Hydrapple now

[@YoloYester94]

Ah yes, *Q U A L I T Y*

[@Rylocand]

if you want a more catchable pokemon for film theory you could have used iron thorn to represent mecha godzilla I guess

[@muffledkerfuffle]

That’s a solid option!

[@Phleacean-DS]

Welcome to the Theorista region

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Honestly if enough people want it, it would be a fun concept

[@Phleacean-DS]

@@muffledkerfuffle consider me one of those people!

[@adinhansen3768]

I like the idea you had for Film Theory, but what if we went in the opposite direction and went with the Pokemon the player uses?

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Thanks for the comment, that definitely could work!!! I know another person suggested Lucario for a similar reason!

[@apersonowo307]

Theorist Mat wants to battle!

[@muffledkerfuffle]

Yesss!!!

[@Blackbloodgamezzz]

Life theory.

[@Spadspaphgtom]

I thought he would have chosen furfrou
