POKEMON BATTLE ROYAL | TerminalMontage Pokemon Animation reaction

[@snekiboi]

Well I don't think people are telling you to watch the explanation because they think you don't know what you're talking about, it's just the explanations are as much entertaining as the animations. It's more like a suggestion for a reaction we'll enjoy watching and not rudely saying get educated or something.

"I missed when pokemon used to look like tangible creatures". I present to you: First gen pokemon, we got: Seeds that look like eggs, Egg Tree, Magnets, More magnets, Sludge, Sus Sludge, A psychic mime, Whatever the fuck Diglet is, Living poisonous gas, Living cancerous poison gas, A "Ghost"(Ball of gas), An electric ball, Whatever the hell the Hitmons are, A Bee with drill hands, A rock with arms, A boulder with four arms, A boulder with two arms, A singing balloon, Whatever the hell the Alakazam line is, Aliens in the shape of marketable plushies, A fire bird, A ice bird, A lightning bird, Psychic Frieza Cat. Like Girl, Pokemon was literally NEVER about tangible creatures at least now most of them follow a theme and or have deeper inspirations than just being object given life, and before anyone mentions the snow cone, I said most, not all. The ring of keys? A fey that likes collecting keys. Dragon Apple? Not an apple, it is a wyrm(dragon) inside an apple(Based on worms living inside apples). Edit: I am so happy that my replies are filled with genuine pokemon fans, I see so many fake fans nowadays for literally every fandom I'm a part of, so seeing so many people as genuinely passionate about something as I am, engaging with a comment I made, makes me really happy. Edit again: I just saw that more people made comments about this very topic. let's fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MORE GENUINE FANS!!!

The premise of Scarlet and Violet's endgame is essentially a time machine going haywire and bringing past or future pokemon to the present. I mean there's a bit more to it but that's basically the long and the short of why they exist.

[@crcoghill]

It's complicated to say these are true pokemon from either points in time, but due to a DLC plot point, it's hard to deny that.

[@AgentSapphire]

@@crcoghill yeah the DLC confirms that it's truly time travel and not something else going on

[@Flutterdark_]

to add to this, violet brought all the future mons and scarlet all the past ones. tho this matters less

[@broccoliben7961]

The explanations aren’t like “You don’t know what you’re talking, you need to watch them to understand”, they are just genuinely good videos that are as much entertaining as the fight animations

[@jordanhunter3375]

In general, Paradox Pokemon are reimagined prehistoric/futuristic versions of Pokemon that can be found in Area Zero, a giant crater in the center of Paldea that leads to a Journey to The Center Of The Earth style wildland

[@turtwig2grottle]

Honestly the criticism of “when they used to look like tangible creatures” wouldn’t bug me so much if you actually already knew the lore/bothered to play or even do a bit of research into the premise of the new games. The fact that you thought they were megas at the start shows you don’t know what S/V is about. Paradox Pokémon are meant to be unnatural and uncanny takes on their modern counterparts, all of the future ones are literally inorganic and thus don’t try to resemble “tangible creatures”. Make fair criticism on some designs because they are uninspired, not because they don’t match some arbitrary standard of nostalgia. There are stinkers in every generation, subjectivity is always in play as well, but to just instantly write off something that doesn’t look like Gen 1 or whatever gen you grew up on is a lazy take.

[@dimetrodon2250]

Plus Terminal's simplified art style on top of the fact that he made Brute Bonnet into a Spongegar reference so it looks even LESS like its supposed to

[@theincredible5379]

The explanation series are more of a suggestion rather than a need. Though a lot of people probably don’t see it that way. It’s fun for me to see what you interpret the inside jokes of the pokedex that you likely won’t, and never will because of the funny, read

[@TheMusicalBoy93]

Funnily enough, Oranguru is the most likely candidate to be a Pokémon that becomes a Pokémon trainer

[@aronder5764]

Mewtwo is also a candidate for it, as he was one in the first movie.

[@dimetrodon2250]

They even referenced that in the first Pokemon Battle Royale, where Oranguru found Magcargo’s pokeball exposing everyone to the unmatched power of the sun.

[@MonkeyGng]

[@CobaltPerseverance154]

I feel you really should watch the explaining videos from Lockstin. I'm a really big Pokémon fan and even I needed some of the explanations!

[@jvts8916]

This time around, the explanation admitted they didn't have as much info, thanks to coming out so soon that not a lot of side material had been released. The competitive side had only tiered them overall, not against themselves. It wasn't much help as a result.

[@Fang1st]

That's not Vore. Vore is eating something whole while alive, that was just eating a dead body in bites. Completely different, otherwise eating a steak would be considered vore, lol.

[@mitilimorres88956]

Please react to the explanation (because gnoggin makes some good stuff, also little bit of insight to how they write this stuff)

[@mr.snifty]

I would say that the Pokemon now are way more better designed than Gen 1 Pokemon, in Gen 1 you had Rats, fisty guys, rocks with hands, Sludge, a flower, now there are creatures from past and present showing great detail, Two Legendary dogs who were the protectors of the Galar region from random Dynamaxing pokemon, A LITERAL GOD OF POKEMON, like seriously, in my opinion, things have reaved up and been the best it has been

[@deviantgazer4626]

18:37 Believe it or not there is one instance of this being referenced in a pokedex entry for one pokemon; Oranguru. Also, I would highly recommend watching the explanation videos because they are just as entertaining as they are informative. It helps show the finer details and thought process for the entire video

[@white0thunderwhite0thunder71]

The simpler the animation, the easier it is to create action scenes for said animation. This is why I prefer the first two seasons of the animated series RWBY because while the 3D animation was far simpler than in the later seasons, the action scenes were OUT OF THIS WORLD. However when the animation budget raised up and they could create more complex 3D animation, it made it harder to create complex fighting animation which resulted in the greatest draw of the series eventually drying up to complete simplicity near its end... Plus their lead 3D animator and creator of the show Monty died before the completion of the third season but I don't think that alone lead to the death of the show's fighting choreography.

[@Greenst4rX]

Honestly Monty was the once in the wild genius, with incredible choreography and weapons usages, but it's now strays further away from it now since he isn't doing the fight scene sadly now, the entire team crews really dependents on his fighting choreography after I watch some videos about the behind the storyboards.

The explanation videos give a lot of context to the chaos. It would be fun to see u react to them

[@crcoghill]

Look, i have no issues with Gen 1 (and I'll even throw in Gen 2 just for fun) designs and even have looked back at some i wasn't a fan of but grew to like, but you can't say they were better than newer ones or newer ones got worse. A lot of cool ideas from all over the world of animals, myths, legends, and cultural themes make Pokemon unique. One of my favorite new Pokemon, Grafaiai, is a Aye-Aye, a lemur known for it's "unique" looks and long finger, with themes of street artists and graffiti, with it using berries and it's finger to mark trees and landmarks with striking symbols for territory, while it's fur makes it look like it's wearing a hoodie and it's eyes and face look like a mask used during painting with. It all meshes to create an actually cute Pokemon, and i love him. That's just one example of good Pokemon design from the most recent Generation and there are way more unique and cooler ones out there, like a Hydra in an Apple due to Applin, a Wyrm in an apple, evolving to another legendary figure from Greek/Japanese mythos and is also a Candy Apple. It's so creative! Hell, Pokemon even get regional looks like Geodude's line and Voltorb, and it's hard for me to say if i like them more than the original. though, Alolan Eggexutor is clearly better.

[@crystallinegamer2934]

Definitely recommend the explanation videos. Though for in-depth info on the Paradox Pokemon as well as Koraidon, Miraidon, and Cyclizar that would be a separate mini series.

[@dnd1016]

bruh. There is a huge difference between Vore and actually eating something get ya mind out of the gutter.

[@dimetrodon2250]

This. This is what actually good react content looks like! Where the person reacting actually has some insight (usually if the viewer is a professional in some way like an artist, musician, or scientist), especially if they make the viewer appreciate the original content in a new way. The way you break down the actual animation principles that went into some scenes was really insightful. Plus your enthusiasm is great!

(He fully collaborated with TerminalMontage on these, so they decided together who would win and Lockstin gives in-game reasons why 🖤

[@the_godbodor7026]

15:36 Something really cool as well is how the motion blur is done. On Miraidon’s arm you can see that Terminal Montage actually drew Miraidon in the set pose for the action, then drew the smear over it instead of drawing the arm itself smeared. It likely saves a good amount of time in drawing the effect and yet in motion it looks perfectly natural.

That’s not vore, that’s eating dinner. If that’s vore then a cat ripping out a mouse’s organs and leaving half its body around would also be vore

[@the_godbodor7026]

About your comment on Pokemon being smart enough to be trainers, they actually made a Pokemon called Orangurunin Gen 7 with the signature move Instruct. Instruct would cause the Pokemon you use it on to use whatever its previous move was again, so in doubles combining it with something like Water Spout Kyoger means insane damage.
