i absolutely love how mikey never says “no” to people’s team sky’s ocs, even if they use all legendaries or mess with the lore. it’s so encouraging for young artists to have someone like him to say “yes, i like that” and it’s just so sweet to see

[@thegamersclub9326]

I always interpreted the salamence thing as the line used to ONLY be Bagon into Shelgon and over time their third evolution (salamence) was obtained through sheer willpower. "Salamence came about..." implies that there was a time that salamence just flat out DIDN'T EXIST, not that it was wingless.

[@DustyPhantom-ne5hy]

Kieran's arc is a lot deeper than him just going mad. He's traumatized by his sister's verbal abuse (one of her lines literally being "It's not like I hit him or anything), his alienation from the town, and the perceived betrayal of the only friend he ever had. He's more like an inverse of Arven, in that Arven is able to heal from his trauma by connecting with the player, while Kieran is harmed when the player betrays him. It's shocking to me how many of the storylines in this game center around childhood abuse and trauma(Arven's neglect, Penny's bullying, Kieran's verbal abuse). I think that, for the most part, it's handled well, and emphasizes the importance of support systems, as well as how much damage words, or lack thereof, can do for a traumatized child.

[@questionmarkquestionmarkques]

i know its just jokes a lot of the time but it really annoys me when people boil down characters to stuff like that, especially when this is probably the best writing pokemon has had for a while

[@dani007a]

Kieran was always kinda... off. Long before he met the player. He gives off a lot of obsessive "quiet kid" red flags right from the start. For example, he idolized Ogerpon before he or anyone else (other than his grandfather) knew of Ogerpon's true kind nature. It kinda makes me think he was hoping Ogerpon would come back and beat up the villagers who had alienated him.

BFDI is "battle for dream island", a popular cartoon animation made by two brothers named Michael and Cary Huang. The events of the cartoon take place on a foreign planet named "goiky", where numerous inanimate objects are shown to be sentient with random numbers hosting challenges for the objects to face. once in a while, one of the objects are eliminated. Elimination is determined through the number of dislikes a challenger/object receives.

Thank you for acknowledging the fact that Carmine grows as a person and becomes more caring for the player and other "outsiders". Carmine clearly still has some issues but I still think she was one of the best characters in the DLC that isn't Ogerpon.

In Pokemon Go, Zorua appears as whatever pokemon you have selected as your Buddy (also any other pokemon you have had as your Buddy recently), so that person has a Lunala as their Buddy. There's no way that they thought that the Lunala on the map was a wild one.

Mikey, the teal mask has crystals from the crystal pool in it, and if you remember, Carmine says they can make you see people that have died. The crystals, not the mask, brought them back. My theory

Adding onto this, the sign that explains the four masks says that the Teal Mask is able to "bring life back into withered greenery around it," so that in conjunction with the crystals easily could've done it. There's also the theory that it's connected to a fourth legendary, but that's a whole other thing

So if the Lunala happened during some sort of event like the recent Rayquaza event, it's totally fair for the poster to have been tricked into thinking it was a real Lunala. Hope that helps! 😊

Petition for Mikey to do a team Pixie Dust playthrough, would be an interesting video.

4:50 To explain how this works basically in Pokémon go zorua is disguised as your buddy in the wild and when you catch it turns into a zorua. Zorua is a pretty rare spawn so I could see why somebody might fall for that if they're more of a casual player but this us most likely somebody lying about it because the only thing people really use their master balls on in pokemon go are the galarian birds.

mikey predicting the clefable was hilarious

[@IlGreven]

1:20 That's why you watch Lockstin & Gnoggin...he definitely gets down to the nitty gritty on why these pokemon are where they are...

[@TimothyRE99]

There's a sign at the lake with the crystals talking about how the lake is rumored to be able to restore things to life. The Teal Mask has a gem in it from the lake. These gems are also connected to the terastal phenomenon, which is connected to time travel (or whatever else it is) down in Area Zero. It wasn't exactly fleshed out or super elaborated upon, but there does seem to be emergent more surrounding this stuff.

10:18 It's like people forget Mimikyu looks nothing like Pikachu under that cloth. Heck, that's its whole thing. It wants to be beloved so it dresses up as Pikachu, so it definitely isn't a Pikachu clone. Nobody knows its true appearance, but it most likely isn't an electric rodent, that's for sure

I’m Kieran’s therapist. All I do is wait until he walks into the building......... And wait till he falls onto the floor................ yeah that’s normal............

[@adrienonsomethin]

grunty boy hitting the heisman pose made my day

[@Niraansrivastava]

Intro was scarier than gen 7 Dex entries

[@Piegar-ou9el]

I love how most of the memes about Kieran are talking about how much people love him, meanwhile in my playthrough of the Teal Mask, I was literally bullying him irl more than Carmine was in-game

[@warpstarrogue3554]

18:18 I personally like to think of it this way: the three legendary dogs (no, I don't believe their Eeveelutions) were the predecessors of the ancient paradoxes shown. So when Ho-oh brought them back and gave them strength, their latent genes from thousands of years ago awaken once more becoming modernized varients akin to Donphan and Great tuskm

[@outbreakperfected5704]

Do you mean descendants? Because predecessors implies they came before the ancient Pokémon

[@TheTrueJBru]

Rock may not be an OP type, but if a Pokémon were to be all types at once, it’s only weakness would be Rock

[@Ford-Anglia]

I'm pretty sure Garchomp was able to fly in-game since Sw/Sh's DLC, where if you get on your bike and have Garchomp follow you, it'll try to keep up by flying

[@pitaya_is_cool1408]

16:08 the only ones that really fit are lusamine/pheremosa and lillie/nihilego. That's just because lusamine got so obsessed with ultra beasts that she started dressing herself and her children up like them. That's also why lillie taking her hat off is such a big deal, it's like she's growing out of her abusive mother's influence and starting to heal.

[@batchicken5010]

Just a thought... There should be a Pokemen7 playthrough in whatever region with Micheal in various cosplay. As an example Nurse Micheal(mikey) which quick cuts to micheal wearing a pink wig and nurse outfit. But the whole time John doesn't realize it's any different . But micheal is continually getting more frustrated at John not noticing.

[@inesnobre2703]

20:50 ITS A FANDOM *R U N F O R Y O U R L I F E*

[@technos_orphan_obliterator]

Its meme review time of the month already??!! Time really is like a terrastalized Teal Mask Ogerpon with a scarf🤣 (note: Happy Halloween y'all. I don't celebrate it myself but i can appreciate it)

[@nomorebonfires]

In Go, Zoura takes the form of whatever your partner Pokemon is, looking exactly the same, even if shiny, shows in overworld as that Pokemon, then after you catch it, it turns into Zoura.

[@gengarzilla1685]

But then, you'd have to be pretty dumb to think that a Lunala would just show up in the wild unannounced.

[@SilverShinyCharizard]

17:53 someone explained it to me with the reason being you can go to the dlc before doing any of the scavi stories so bringing along the other three would result in either random memory loss, random information being dropped that you shouldn't know yet, or either being friends with random people you barely met or not knowing your good friends, or having to make versions depending on how far you are into the story of the basegame which would get complicated fast given you can do them in any order, learn new information along the way, and basically they'd just have to incorporate different lines for a whole lot of different possible story progresses and it would get very complicated very quickly

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

3:02 I see Carmine as Ninjago Harumi and Nemona merging together, and with a redemption arc that is better than Harumi’s arc

[@neonblue0]

Meme review is always fun to watch

[@OddEyesDragonSlayer]

"The sky of the indoors" is just too hilarious.

[@starwarsfan6087]

The Salamance one is weird because it says in bagons dex entry that it would throw its self off cliffs to try and fly

[@SmollerishBean]

Bro you should've given us a jumpscare warning from that intro I jumped out of my skin literally

[@cparle87]

Mikey is both the masterpiece and the imitation at the same time. Brilliant!

[@thepsycheduck]

Michael’s shadow form has grown so powerful he’s taken over the intro

[@therealaiyu]

seeing bfdi in a meme review was something i never expected yet i needed

[@HappyMagolor2]

20:50 him Mikey and gruntie boi as BFDI characters It was at this moment that my happiness went through the roof

[@SandhyaDas-nn8wb]

I like how mickyy tries to entertain us in every possible way😂😂
