[@peternguyen7530]

I don't care how many glitches there are in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I was enthralled by the story progression, especially with the depth and personalities of the characters. Nemona, using the starter weak against the players on purpose, to see if we can match and surpass her in battle prowess. Arven, and his reasons behind his sour attitude at first, being his Mabosstiff being injured by ancient/future Pokemon, and how he didn't see his parents, the professors, in 10 years. Penny, and all of Team Star, and how they consider their friendship as their greatest treasure, and their desire to fight back against their bullies in fheir flashbacks. This has got to be on par with Gen 4 and 5 in terms of lore and story, and I love it, an 10 out of 10 for me!

[@Ditto.007]

Arven is the type of character I want in GameFreak he was so unpredictable that our thoughts about him constantly changed rather than most older characters who were very one dimensional.

Mickey you’re so entertaining because you’re a charismatic nerd and I mean that in the most endearing way possible. Don’t ever change I love your content

One thing i've always loved and admired about Mikey, is his unmatched ability to turn a playthrough into an engaging story.

To get a wild slakoth you need a normal spawn power. It spawns on tree branches around the swamp near wo-chien's temple. Use your dash abillity to throw them off the branches :)

[@JakeNewbery]

Mikey, I spent 2 games of complete plot and haven’t even seen one

[@Baehry]

It actually gives you the koraidon upgrade based on which titan you fight, so if you defeat the false dragon titan first, you get the climb ability first

[@king_krab13]

Naww, they shouldve made that one swim and the crab one climb fr

[@miracleburton1635]

Dude ngl tho thats be dumb because the levels don't scale

[@michaelnelson1127]

Technically you can’t fight the false dragon titan first since it’s in the middle of the lake, so you’d need the swim ability to get to it, but your point still stands.

[@Veltal-for-your-information]

Also for some reason, they made swimming be unlocked by the OPEN SKY TITAN, why? Don't ask me, I don't know.

[@michaelnelson1127]

@@Veltal-for-your-information Probably the same reason why the quaking earth titan gives you the glide ability.

Mikey's Shiny Gogoat reaction was great! Definitely one I want to hunt. I was hunting Roaring moon a few weeks ago and got 5 shiny zweliouses, a shiny sableye and shiny houndstone in process.

[@WhirlyBeepBoops]

Funny thing, I randomly found a shiny Gogoat while training up things to evolve them for the dex. I was training for a while, so I'm not ultra surprised - but still ended up a really interesting coincidence.

Ive played for over 30 hours and have only found a shiny cufant ):

Bro how? The lack of sound effects make it so I can never find one.

@@wet0wl you just gotta look. I wouldnt have noticed mine if it wasnt with a few others.

WHY IS EVERYONE HAVING ALL THIS SHINY LUCK WHAT IS GOING ON lol

[@peternguyen7530]

@@wet0wl The sound effect may not be active, but the very different color varient was in front of my very eyes. By the way, My 4 shinies are Rookidee, Litleo, Makuhita and am Farigiraf, the last one from Area Zero.

I think it’s really funny that you talked about Atticus being ridiculous since my first thought upon seeing him was “Oh my god, it’s Mikey.” 😂

How poetic that one of the first things that MandJTV got hype for was Gogoat return and that be his first shiny

What is The Cove?

[@PoolKid75]

@@dawnsbuneary documentary about Japanese dolphin hunting. More like dolphin slaughtering. They trap them in a small cove and mercilessly stab them with harpoons until the entire cove turns red. It's disgusting and disturbing.
