One Pokeball to Catch the Stronger Pokémon

[@Typhio]

I think it’s very sweet Mikey was willing to stop the recording to have a conversation if John really needed it, that’s a great friend right there :)

[@Shinygoomygirl]

Real

[@gokuxsephiroth4505]

I love these guys. Their friendship is so nice to watch - I love how John is talking about making a mistake, and Mikey's like: "Wait, are you talking about Pokemon, or do we have to stop recording and chat?" Like, that's so nice to see bros being supportive. ...But yeah, John, wtf were you thinking letting Groudon get away like that?

[@pokestar2508]

It isn't a JMC episode without John catching a Shiny.

7:22 “My strategy flawless, you, no idea, end result, terrible” The biggest laugh I’ve had all week 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love the John Micheal Cup videos!

[@calamariknight481]

4:40 if anyone was wondering, Magby is actually second strongest baby, only beaten by Munchlax, so John would most likely still win anyway

[@lolgamming3104]

I find it very funny that they had to implement a rule that the trade only goes through if the pokémon being traded can be scored because of what purplecliff did the last time they did this challenge

[@Celestia282]

I mean, it's just generally a good idea. If you can trade unscorable Pokemon, then rounds 2 to 7 are just six instant wins in a row.

[@JasperDStar]

What did Jack do? I don't think I watched that video

[@lolgamming3104]

​@JasperDStar on the last round of the video after everyone was tied john had the trade, mikey caught a semi weak pokemon(i don't remember witch one) john(aja pm7) caught a rikou and then jack(aka purplecliff) hacked in a level one chingling for some reason. John then for some unknown reason decided to trade away his rikou with Jack despite not knowing what he had. Jack said he got a level one chingling and both Mikey and John called him out that pokemon don't naturally spawn at level one so he admits to hacking it in. An argument erupts over who should win. Mikey's argument is that John shouldn't win after intentionally trading away a rikou and because Jack cheated he can't win John's argument is that because Jack's pokemon did not count the trade did not go through and rikou is stronger than Mikey's pokemon so he wins Jack's argument is that he now has the rikou and John has the cheated chingling so he should win They then asked the comments to decide who actually won.

[@JasperDStar]

@@lolgamming3104 oh, now that you talk about it, I do remember this

[@kbeatzgonecrazy]

John getting hyped over a Ledian is the exact hype I got when I was able to add Raticate in my original Heartgold team and beat Lance.

Right??? I completely forgot about Volcarona in that same horde

Mikey’s discussion of how being mildly ill stops him from overthinking reminds me of when I took my ACTs for college. I’d been struggling for months to raise my score, went in with a bad head cold, came out with a 32 of 36, which I needed to get a scholarship. It really does simplify things if you have anxiety.

Also, do Pokémon Starters in the Spinoffs & Side Games Count in the Starter Pokémon Rounds? If they didn't, they should count as sneaky picks. But, the reason is "They don't count as the other person may not have played Rumble, PMD or Colosseum", that would be a very valid argument.

the John Micheals journey to Kalos to find an avalanche of powerful Pokemon! one JM came in with a brilliant strategy, but that didn't go quite the way he'd hoped. but what do the rules say about having a bird controlling you actions? we probably won't find out next time, on the JMC: World Tour! (adding the trading element turned this whole competition around. and I'm surprised that more Megas didn't show up. it feels like you usually find more in these gen 6 challenges.)
