[@Galeranda]

I KNOW RIGHT, I felt so bad when I hit him there 🥲

[@Tony_AM009]

Good thing this is real life. If this was a cartoon, Michael would've gotten hit in the balls no matter the pose he had to strike. He'd be on the ground going, "How is this possible?!"

[@joshuapineda8708]

And then he got hit there again in pose 2

Now that you've listed them out, I kind of wish they had one from Gen 6. Rock-climbing, the swinging vines, a rollerblade/skate park, etc. But they'd need a bigger budget for most of them (they're stuff you'd see at a theme park), so I can see why they got skipped.

This was both hilarious and awesome! I've been a fan of Katie since the Metronome League a few years back, and I've been enjoying Tyler's work too, so it was really cool to see the entire extended JMC family together in person. Also, as a fellow Houston-adjacent Texan, I can vouch for Mikey's answer to the seasons question. But my personal favorite response to that question is, "Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas." 😆

[@hiddeberculo6168]

Honestly I’m impressed with how good Michael and John are able to paint, their paintings looked insane!

makes me wonder hoe good you paint.

I don't think I have ever laughed this hard at a video. This was a blast! The sheer time and effort put into this video is incredible! Truly the John Michael cup is the best competition the world has ever seen! (Also as a fellow artist myself, I have to say that your art pieces were incredible both in their own way. Pm7 had a good contrasting background to the Pokémon while Mikey's Pokémon looked really expressive and cartoony. Both were definitely very unique)

[@Glace_cakes]

For the paintings, the reasoning behind why PM7 won is in the comment. Technically, it’s superior. While Mikey’s painting has the Pokémon color be the background and outlines in black, John actually followed valid technique to create the lineless look that gives many paintings their realism.

[@aventurasdemais8261]

Grunty Boi doing a sponsorship in John's house is something I've wanted for so long and it finally happened!

[@arthurmorganhere]

Oh boy, never thought this day would come. It's so chaotic. Mikey seems like a completely different person in the first challenge. I never heard him scream like that ever.

[@furrosama]

this is the first time i see this channel and i just wanna say congrats for making it to trending #7 as of now! I genuinely enjoyed the whole video because they were surprisingly very dramatic and took many twists and turns! i got even more hooked especially when there were many tie breaker moments even though they were all just real results and very likely unscripted 😂 As a pokemon enjoyer, im impressed with the original creative challenges so i hope to see more of yall! maybe this could even be an annual thing and it would be great to see collabs with other pokemon content creators!

Trust me you’ll love their competitions, despite them never doing something like this before, been watching both for a few years so I can say their content has evolved (pun intended) throughout their time Although I do miss Michael’s metronome battle league series

17:40 this is the first time that John's shiny-searching capabilities failed him because he did it so fast that his 'stream' interest peaked within the first 5 minutes of the VOD, which is typically how long it takes in normal videos 😅😅😅 at least it is made up for in the fact that this video after-the-fact is now trending 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@AussieDragoon]

This was a fun idea, I hope to see more of these real life Ookemon challenges in future JMCs. Maybe for Motostoke you can do a challenge to see who can catch the most fire types in a given area in Pokemon Go.
