I always thought it was because they’re from different timelines (like the professor says). So in their normal timeline, they’re supposed to exist, but in our timeline, they kinda contradict existing things

[@basedgaymer]

So because I was spoiled that a cutscene with the professor would happen, though I didn’t know how, I first tried revisiting the Area 0 Lab and Underdepths. And what I found is that if you read the notes on the desk in the Underdepths, there’s an additional Journal Entry we didn’t get from the story cutscene, where the professor talks about being transported to a sulfur lake in the eastern lands they read about and a boy/girl hands them a white tome. That clued me into going back to the Crystal Lake and I’m glad to have discovered this cutscene this way.

It's a nice attention to detail that the real professor actually has a breathing animation where the ai professor did not.

The academy stoyline where you talk to Arven throughout until his dorm is something that can do prior the DLC. Penny & Nemona also have stories too that allow you into their rooms and insight into their characters. They only available after beating the Ace Academy Tournament the first time. Though there is a extra coversation if you talk to Arven again with regarding the white or new Scarlet Book. Speaking of Ace Academy Tournament it updates with higher levels and new pokemon after beating both parts of the main DLC story. The DLC also adds a new Team Star storyline if you finish all the classes now.

[@gengarzilla1685]

The Team Star thing also requires that you finish Penny's wrap-up story as well, because it's somewhat of a continuation.

[@blazebardgames5939]

​@@pokejedi5184Good idea, but the timing of that doesn't really work out. From Sada's perspective (or Turo's in Violet), the encounter happens when she doesn't yet know Koraidon's name, she hasn't yet created the AI, and she's still working on the time machine. Arven would've been an infant at the time. According to the Professor's notes that we find in the main story finale, they got the time machine to work and brought in Koraidon not long after Arven was born. My theory is that Sada and Turo were working together to research Area Zero, but after that initial success, Sada would've wanted to put the brakes on their research in order to focus on their family because the Crystal Pool encounter made her realize they couldn't just neglect their son. But Turo, who hadn't experienced that encounter, couldn't understand why Sada suddenly wanted to give up on her lifelong dream. So he stole the Indigo Disc, ran off, and gave the Disc to one of their research investors, thinking that he was "protecting" Sada from Terapagos' influence by sealing off the Underdepths. Sada, on the other hand, didn't know what Turo's motivations were, and she thought he had betrayed her and stolen the Indigo Disc in order to sell it. She threw herself into her research in order to keep her mind off her broken heart, and she could no longer be around her son without being reminded of his father, which was painful for her. But she still tried to give Arven some care as he grew older, getting him a Maschiff for companionship and protection. Eventually she sent him to Naranja Academy, partially so she wouldn't have to see him and be reminded of his father anymore, and partially to get him away from the increasingly dangerous Pokémon that the Time Machine was bringing in. (And of course Sada and Turo's roles in all this would be reversed in Violet.) But hey, that's just a theory... A GAME THEORY! And also there may be relevant information in the currenly unreleased epilogue that I don't know about yet.

[@moonprincessgaby]

Fun fact, you don’t need to have Terapagos in your party for the cutscene to happen. He’ll just pop out of the pokeball as if you had him in your team. I accidentally activated the cutscene when trying to finish my Kitakami dex after completing the Indigo Disc story.

To add to Mikey's take on the Stellar Tera Type, the consensus seems to be that, with the exception for Terapagos, it's situational. Some Pokémon that have a lot of coverage options want to use it, but it's not better than other options for Tera. Terapagos is the exception because Terapagos is cracked and banned from SVOU within a day or 2. Look at how tera blast works with Stellar type and contrary. (Then look at SVOU viability.)

He will then give you a treat for completing Group BBQS via the Union Circle his first treat will require you to complete 1 Group BBQ, I assume it will increase from this number but perhaps he will give you one of the remaining ones per single Group BBQ completed.

Megas were also definitely very spotty in terms of helping weaker or lesser used pokemon, instead just mostly kicking them to the curb in favor of giving redundant or pandering ones. That or just making the weaker mons needlessly broken lmao there's less than half of the megas that IMO were actually balanced and helped a pokemon who needed it.

[@MrNITROPSYCHO]

Just from watching this, I get the sense that Michael didn't take advantage of Pokémon Home for a lot of Dex entries

[@harenava1451]

Mikey and midriff pokegirls. What a match

[@bathilra5364]

I loved the team star cutscene and you can get a lot of bp with friends in union circles

[@Drizz0XD]

They knew what they were doing when they designed perrin

[@catcraft18]

If you go back to arven after the cutscene of him saying he's gonna be a chef, he sees the violet book and says "oh did you check it out from the library?"

[@FernieGar]

Amarys is literally just..🧍🏽‍♀️…

[@gabriellockwood2780]

The Stellar Tera Type is LEGITIMATELY the Gen 5 Gems as a free gimmick. 😂

[@Pablo360able]

Stellar Type is great for raids, actually, because then one Pokemon can effectively have as many Tera Types as it does coverage moves, so it will be useful for more different types of raids. Like, for example, a single Iron Bundle could be useful for any raid weak to Electric, Fighting, or even Steel if you really wanted.

[@turtleduck2085]

Time isn't linear. It's like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff. XD

[@djimonmcdonald9085]

Hah!

[@gengarzilla1685]

I couldn't consider my Indigo Disk run complete until I defeated the mysterious "Saffron", Blueberry Academy's secret boss, who'll only accept battles from the club computer if you've traded with ten trainers in the League Club's room. So I did. And this Saffron is a real doozy of a contender. It's basically the Red battle of Scarlet and Violet, with their Tera ace being the highest levelled trainer Pokémon of this game so far at level 87. I know you in particular will definitely appreciate the reward for winning.

[@rpgrage7711]

I just completed the main story so I'm going to binge watch all of the episodes I missed while I'll do post story stuff

[@bigjalapeno7061]

The DLC is fun. I'm liking it so far and I haven't really done much story stuff

[@sciyama7130]

Stellar tera type is honestly pretty great for raids it gives much more flexibility when building pokemon for raids

[@gengarzilla1685]

Yeah, I hated that my only option for Flying Teras was this Ice Tera Mamoswine. Now I've also got Baxcalibur and Hisui Arcanine.

[@Oscarus4250]

Stellar Tera is also great for Ditto (getting boosts for every offensive move and it makes Tera less dependant on the opponent's Pokemon), offensive AVs with already good typing like Archaludon (additional power boosts) or Pokemon with Contrary (so they can get advantage of Tera Blast drops/boosts). I know that Stellar Tera Blast dropping both Attacks suck, but look: with Stellar Tera, its' BP grows to 100, but actually 150 because of STAB, deals supereffective damage to other Tera Pokemon and typeless damage to anyone, AND any Pokemon but six (Magikarp, untransformed Ditto, Smeargle, Cosmog, Cosmoem and Terapagos) can learn it. Without that drops, it could overcentralize the meta.

[@kirbster5810]

you can also get meloetta in the dlc, but you should look it up if you want to get it.. it has such a complicated set of steps to get it...

[@gengarzilla1685]

Regigigas in ORAS was worse, honestly. They really didn't want you to find it. I mean, requiring Regice to have a nickname? Who's gonnna figure _that_ one by themselves?

[@lulabelle5452]

When you do the penny line with team star after you finish the main game you can see eri without makeup! She's soooo pretty!

[@miikaroos3809]

She is! I never realized she either dyed her hair or used a wig as her Team Star persona.

[@gengarzilla1685]

It's definitely a wig.

[@noirhelios]

Confirmed that the Arven stuff is unlocked before getting the DLC

[@miikaroos3809]

A lot of stuff at the school is unlocked after the main story. Too bad Mikey never seemed to either notice or care.

[@DryBones271]

The Dragon Hammer thing is outdated. It was added because of Alolan Exeggutor (previously it wasn't available for use)

[@damasuoni-chanhannya3134]

The Lore of Paradox Pokemon has been REVEALED! From Toby bird keeper says that they are from different pokemon earths one were the past Pokemon are savage and the future Pokemon are like robots

[@gengarzilla1685]

He is not a representative of Game Freak. This is not confirmation, just another theory to throw on the pile.

[@charmingtrainer]

I had a literal visceral reaction to Snacksworth and his face.

[@bradleydenny3116]

I'm surprised that he didn't transfer the starters in

[@miikaroos3809]

I know, right? That's what I did. Screw updating the biomes!

[@KNinetales]

I did both. That was because I wanted to shiny hunt them in the wild but wanted to complete the pokedex early.

[@timmyphillipi4566]

I cannot wait to see the team sky playthrough of the DLC's, Team sky Mikey will love the flying feature .

[@sheikhtk1795]

I love you so much your videos really inspired me and took me out of a rough time I can’t say how much I thank you for

[@jonathanflanagan1504]

The BP costs of, well, everything, really solidifies how much this DLC was made with the Union Circle in-mind. the speed of which you get BP just by playing with one other person is insane. More BBQs available at once, and even group quests that are worth about 500 BP each. I imagine that with more players that you'd have the needed BP in absolutely no time.

[@cooperh896]

The starters are actually 30% of the dex. He forgot to include the evolutions. 3 starter choices * 8 generations * 3 evolutions in the line = 72 pokemon.

[@bigjalapeno7061]

That's a lot

[@gengarzilla1685]

It's still just 24 to catch, since they're way above the required level to fully evolve.

[@owenweatherbie9938]

If you'd moved your camera around during the fight, Raging Bolt does reveal his fight during attack animations.

[@Sawa-Kyo]

One cool thing about the Terapagos secret event: Sada mentions that she might go home and spend time reading. So what if, in her original timeline, she heads home to read and spend time with Arven, so she never dies?

[@Sawa-Kyo]

I know there’s that entry in the Underdepths about Sada getting a “white volume” and being transported somewhere different… but still

[@bigjalapeno7061]

That would be cool

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

We know its not a separate timeline because, as the video shows, the books under area zero change to mention her meeting us. Which can only be there if it was her in this timeline. So, no. Sadly, that's physically impossible.

[@EightViolett]

@@jonathangoodwin5609 It doesn't 'change'. It's perfectly possible to read that same entry when you're first down there, before you even get Briar's book. Which is how you would know to go to the Crystal Lake with the book. (Though I wonder how you're supposed to know that you should bring Terapagos...)

[@CarlosSaulRodriguezA]

cause "it is said those cristals can connect with the souls of those long gone" or something like that (i play the game in a dif language, so minor changes here or there) and also that "they seem to have the same type of energy than those in area zero"... so Terapagos, the cause of that energy in area zero, seems a bit the answer... a bit hidden but still not really farfetched. At minimun, with the big emphasis in taking pictures, and how the place is a nice one to make a "matching pic" with the new mythical mon, is very likely that even kids w no idea could eventually find it out... dunno...@@EightViolett

[@foxpokemonforever4775]

Those conversations you had with Arven are available before the DLC. I was wondering why your conversations were familiar until you met with him at the bookshelves, when I realized I’d already had those conversations.

[@HellGod27]

I like how Mikey doesnt remember the conversation with Arven and Clavell, so he rereads it... We've already had this conversation back when Mikey FIRST started the Scarlet series. Which means, we're in the past...

[@AloanVulpix]

People say that WE as the players are putting the plot for violet/scarlet into motion by giving the professors Briar's book in exchange and I also do like the title screen after that cut scene with the original book will be on the dusk at sunset so to sum it all up YOU give her the idea for the time machine

[@KuroJOkami]

3rd part of DLC when?

[@davideostudio2664]

There’s something you can do about having to tutor Team Star and you get new outfits afterwards if you do a good job

[@orderlysummit]

Was not expecting Pokémon to pull out the bootstrap paradox

[@brittanyransom9700]

Playing with friends makes it so much faster. Got all the BP I needed for the starters just by playing with friends for about an hour.

[@OwenGianelloni-us9tr]

There needs to be paradox fossil pokemon that are just the original unaltered pokemon from the past

[@MarcusMapua]

Well if we wanna be broad in detail, it is said in game lore that Gouging Fire is "an ancestor of Entei revived from a fossil"
