Honestly, Tinkaton's popularity surprised me. I thought it's dex entries about its beef with steel types (especially Corviknight) were hilarious, but I thought everyone would just see it as another fairy type. Pretty happy with a good amount of the dex

The Legendaries in this gen are actually not the forms you see around them. The Legendaries are actually the TREASURES on each of them. For instance, Chien-Pao. The broken sword you see is NOT stuck in the snow beast. Rather, the Chien-Pao is actually the sword itself. It just gathered snow and ice from around it to give itself a body so that it could move and be more active.

The flamigo shiny makes sense tho since flamingos get their signature pink color from their food. The babies start off grey and when the moms are feeding their young they lose a bit of their pink color and turn that light pink/grayish color. It isn't the most exciting shiny but it makes sense when you look at their real world counterpart

[@jimtru8048]

Alex, the reason you haven't seen goldengo's shiny is because it looks damn near the same to the original. The change is something that will probably take months to see. The only change is that the lines on goldengo change from orange to grey.

​@blueblaze27 Not only this, but the shade of green that glows with it makes the shiny into pure optical bliss. Also, it reminds me of Mechagodzilla, so it gets bonus points for that, in my opinion.

[@amateraceon5202]

While I’m a bit medium on the overall direction they went for Dudunsparce, I’m honestly just really glad it exists, Dunsparce really deserves it. But the fact that they made Tropius part of the regional Pokédex and gave him literally nothing is an actual war crime.

[@cintronproductions9430]

[@Nikowo1610]

[@PaBlo-jk4hv]

Same for sunflora I was totally expecting an evolution or something

[@sonicrunn3r895]

I mean, considering Game Freak has been more ambitious with mid-gen introductions with each gen since 5 (we went from new forms, to new megas and forms, to new UBs, mythicals and forms, to new regional forms, legendaries and dex expansions), the idea that we could get an update or DLC to provide old Pokemon with new evos is no longer as out there as I imagined in the past honestly

[@magicalhikari_05]

People hate Dudunsparce because it’s not what they wanted from a Dunsparce evolution. Those haters also had very unrealistic expectations

[@cintronproductions9430]

I know that lots of people don't care much for Flamigo, and I totally understand why, it's just a flamingo. But as someone who was asking for a flamingo Pokémon I can't help but feel satisfied that we finally got one, even if it's just a flamingo, can't help but love it. No, I really love it. :)

[@ethanhinton4549]

Think they should've made the "boxing glove" aspect way more noticable/obvious than they did.

[@LowReedExpert1]

Honestly, I loved the idea for a while, but as a single stage pokemon? I was so sad to never see it change

[@ember_falls]

I kinda love that they just put a regular ass flamingo in the game and took one letter off

[@mizusenshisongs]

I didn't even notice the boxing glove part...that's pretty clever. Honestly, I was not impressed with any of the new bird Pokémon this Gen at first glance. I was going to go with Starly or Rookidee as the usual flyer I have on my team instead, as Staraptor and Corviknight are both great. Then I saw Flamigo in MysticUmbreon's Top 10 Pokémon You Should Use in Scarlet & Violet video, and after that I decided to give it a chance. Thankfully I found one before even getting to Mezagoza, so I've had some time with it. It's pretty good. I kinda wish it evolved though. It doesn't seem strong enough for a fully evolved Pokémon. I do like that its regular form has the "fake plastic flamingo" hot pink coloring, while its shiny has "IRL flamingo" muted pink coloring. Pretty clever. Squawkabilly has also grown on me. I haven't used one, but realizing it's the Flying Taxi Pokémon of the region, even though it looks WAY too small for that, has endeared me to it. The different colors are kinda cool too. It makes me want to collect them all (doing the same with Deerling since I realized its seasonal variants are in the game).

Palafin is based on Superman, and it evolves at level 38 The first Superman comic came out in 1938. And thus, it becomes Superman

[@bubbykins4864]

....but only if you use the Union Circle, which is stupid since most Western superheroes are introduced as standalone characters, and especially scummy when you realize most Pokémon players don't have friends, and thus, have to add a third subscription to the mix. The stupidest design choice they've ever made, however, is trade evolutions. The version exclusives proved themselves profitable enough and could easily be ignored if acknowledging it would prove inconvenient and/or contradictory. But trade evolutions encourage the player to treat their supposed friends like property and is far too established in-multiverse to ignore.

[@dandineen9784]

I'm pretty sure it mentions somewhere in Violet that the future pokemon have been cybernetically upgraded and haven't actually evolved to be that way, which I know is why some people didn't like them. Edit: the evolution bit, I mean

[@jeremymorris345]

Ya pretty much. What people aren't realizing about the Future Paradox Pokémon is that they are very very far in the future possibly millions of years just like how the Past forms are from millions of years in the past. So it makes sense why they look the way they do. The Pokémon had to be cybernetically modified or even went extinct and had to be remade as robots to survive in the time there from. If you want to take it one step further thats why they are all chrome in there shiny forms because they aren't painted.

[@Zepimo123]

The thing about Iron Valiant's shiny is that in game, it's more of an off-white than a chrome. It gives GladOS vibes and I love it. Though I am partial to it cause it was the first shiny paradox I found

[@DigitalxGamer]

I don't think that's the intention. Hydreigon was never based off of Ghidorah; just because it has three heads doesn't mean that's what it's based on. It's based on the Yamata no Orochi, not Ghidorah. The multi-headed serpent from Japanese mythology. They apparently just stopped at three heads to stop it from looking weird. But this is why there's nothing else really to the Pokemon outside of the heads, including no legs. Supposedly its wings might have been inspired by the Orochi's extra heads, but I think that's more speculative...?

[@QuicksilverTheElegant]

An idea to make the Violet Paradox Pokémon shinies more interesting without changing the chrome theme Make the glowing bits the color of their *other* typing as well as turning chrome Examples: Iron Valiant gets a light pink glow to represent its Fairy typing Iron Hands gets an orange glow to represent Fighting Iron Moth gets purple and chrome to represent Poison (which I think silver and purple looks sick if done in the right shades) and Iron Bundle gets that light teal-y blue for Ice typing Iron Jugulis doesn’t really work since the magenta and blue glow is based on the normal form’s colors which don’t fit Dark or Flying type, but I suppose a solid black and chrome Iron Jugulis would look cool Iron Thorns is good as is but if we followed the others the lights could turn yellow for Electric Miraidon I feel like does chrome the poorest, but you could swap the purple and yellow’s gradient in the colors I guess (so the chest is yellow and the outline of the chest is purple and etc.)

I think they're all robots because the original forms died off and went extinct, so they tried to recreate a better version of them and the best you can do to do that is make robots? But that's just a theory I've seen a lot of places

[@kanjigodomo9696]

If I came up with a design for a shiny for both Gimmighoul and Goldengho, I wouldn't change the chest because I don't know how to change it, and I'll change Gimmighoul's body from silver to gold and the coins to either silver (give it the lazy man's treatment of silver to gold and vice versa) or give the coins a more reddish-brown look (to either look like copper or even gold-oxide, to make the coins look like they've been in that chest for a long time).

[@mysteriousmog51]

what I would have done with sprigatitos shiny is keep purple flower and purple eyes and make it orange and yellow.

[@Kamegama]

Fun fact: Fidough was my first shiny in the game.

[@LunxAythia]

It’s most likely due to the future theme, but I love Violet’s Paradox pokemon a LOT better than Scarlet’s. I like the mecha-aspect and it reminds me a lot of Eggman’s original premise: capturing animals and turning them into machines. It also speaks volumes on the potential next stage of Human evolution: A.I. Also Ceruledge is my new favourite pokemon and Iron Valliant is straight up the best Paradox pokemon, detaching it’s elbow blades and converting them into a double-sabre is just so awesome

[@SeaOfPixels]

Wow Gholdengo's shiny is so bad that you didn't even realise it's been shown off.

[@belphe8974]

11:37 That's not a shiny, game freak just left Quaquaval out in the sun for too long.

[@wiktor9673]

future paradoxes look like team rocket robots to steal pikachu in the anime

[@nickrussell8279]

In my opinion, I think what could've made the future paradox shines work aside from adjusting the chrome was if they also changed that lighting on their body (can't remember the specifics but it's the part on their body that can go black when they sleep) to something of a different colour. I think the future paradox shines might've been better if they did that at least. Edit: Do you also think you'll do a video where you'll try and recreate all the gen 9 shines to how you'd make them?

[@jeremymorris345]

I admit that would be cooler but the whole reason why they are chrome is because they aren't painted so the lights changing color wouldn't make sense.

[@ricebun4669]

One of the designers watched that episode of Spongebob where he says “Everything’s chrome in the future!” And decided to take that literally

[@jeremymorris345]

Well I mean it makes sense. What people aren't realizing about the Future Paradox Pokémon is that they are very very far in the future possibly millions of years just like how the Past forms are from millions of years in the past. So it makes sense why they look the way they do. The Pokémon had to be cybernetically modified or even went extinct and had to be remade as robots to survive in the time there from. If you want to take it one step further there all chrome in there shiny forms because they aren't painted.

That moment when Gimmighoul and Gholdengo’s shinies are so bad that Alex can’t even tell the difference…

[@M_Alexander]

I didn't care for Crocalor until I realized it's a mariachi singer wearing a sombrero that's actually an egg in a nest of marigolds. It's still not my favorite but I can appreciate it

[@henrydrago]

Brumbleghast can be in some way related to Dhelmise? Not just the typing but his eyes and being a ghost attached to a plant

[@Pokesuna]

Finally someone who loves Koraidon as much as I do^^

[@arimoz5273]

Thank you for appreciating scovillain. He was on my team from the water gym to the second koraidon battle

[@arimoz5273]

Also Garganacl

[@fishbowlheretic]

i'm so happy to see you love a lot of the pokemon that i do, that i've found other people tend to dislike. it was nice to feel like i wasn't so alone in really enjoying them!

[@somebodykares1]

Charcadet's Shiny should have been Ceruledge's palette.

[@littleladybrooks6635]

I agree.

[@chip3605]

Gholdengo is really cool, but he looks like he's the reason some people call money cheddar

[@aurorawizard7045]

If you're gonna do 'Biggest Problems with Scarlet and Violet', here are some suggestions. Shinies don't make a sound when they appear in the overworld like they did in PLA. This video actually rubs some salt in the wound considering how little most shinies change, giving me constant paranoeia that I'll miss a shiny. Now lots of people have wanted to be abl to do the Gyms in any order. And we can now. Buuuuut they'll remain at the same level no matter when you face them. This is an issue with the other two storylines, too. On the one hand, being pushed into fighting people by NPCs can be slow and annoying. But on the other, would be better if they didn't GUIDE you in that was. Like, maybe you can fight the others if you wanna prepare for them? Let me put that better... basically, the game could recommend an order for you, while still giving you the freedom to do it how you want. I have to turn to researching what level each Team Star Boss' Pokemon are just to know where to go next. When a Pokemon reaches its evolving level while in autobattle, it doesn't evolve. You have to resort to getting candy. Isn't the whole point of this mechanic to level up Pokemon? You can add more if you wish.

[@david_lynch_gaming]

the third is kinda wrong the point of autobattle is to get tm materials not level up pokemon

[@aurorawizard7045]

@@david_lynch_gaming Ah, ok.

[@maganhassan2627]

The npcs are more optional you only fight them to get a certain reward at the pokemon center I kind of see both sides to this level scaling stuff where the other hand you feel you're in that pokemon world more when you experience a fight you can't beat either get stronger & beat it or come back later when you're strong enough I saw people saying it's what open world games should be like 🤷‍♂️

[@cds7012]

I like these supplementary videos a lot. The original one was very nice, but some opinions were kept very short (which was funny mind you). But I feel like for this one, every mon got some good time dedicated to them.

[@kimhellrose7357]

Good video, although I'm wondering if you've never seen green olives or a black pig as you seem to label the pink pigs and black olives as their "actual" color 😆they are fairly normal, specially in Spain, the country on which the region is based on. In fact I'm pretty certain they've choosen the black pig variant due to the Pata Negra pigs (Literally translating into "black leg"), which are quite famous due to their special acorn diet giving them the highest quality curated ham in the land 😁Source: I'm a spanniard

[@Mircowavemuncher]

I honestly dont see why so many people dislike houndstone's shiny it looks like it came out of a patch of dead grass in the best way possible

[@sarcoboi12v3]

My favorites are Quaquaval, Ceruledge and Armarouge, Bellibolt…. and Farigiraf. Grafaiai is an honorable mention for me 🥰

[@Decidukip]

Iron Bundle is my favorite paradox. Mostly because of TerminalMontage.
