one of the weirdest things about oshawott learning sacred sword is that it only gets it as an egg move, but it can't breed with anyone who learns it. the only way to get it on an oshawott is with a mirror herb, which lets you copy egg moves during picnics for some reason

[@mizusenshi8172]

It can get it as an egg move in USUM too though, so how does it get it in that case I wonder?

19:39 Mikey: "It's me! I'm actually in there!" Dr. Fuse: "Did you not even notice that I'm not in the image?" Raccoon Man: quietly sobbing in the corner due to being out of the spotlight for years.

Cant believe he got Grunty Boi, Dr. Fuse, Team Sky Mikey and Racoon Man to dress up as Mikey for the intro

[@gaelboukra3022]

9:39 My theory is that Tinkaton thought you were a Corviknight and smacked the nearest object (which happened to be a Jigglypuff) in the air to try and kill you.

1:37 Fun fact about that slide! People would very often get stuck in that slide due to the loop and staff would have to go in to help them out.

[@KittAxoIsHere]

It's scary how Mikey and Grunty Boi look so similar. In fact so similar it looks like Mikey just put on different close and does a silly voice...Nah, that's such a crazy idea.

[@rockowlgamer631]

5:50 I don't know why Grunty saying Black Friday so menacingly was so funny to me.

[@Deoxys1585]

To explain the flying jigglypuff, a similar thing happened to me. I was going to the area next to the fairy crew to grind levels with Chaneys and it was windy and all of the hoppip, skiploom, and jumpluff were being blown away from the wind into oblivion and I was like WHAT NOOO

My thoughts are that tinkaton hit jigglypuff into the air like a baseball to knock miradon out of the sky

[@presidentlove7462]

They missed the opportunity to say the hand sanitizer is only 50% accurate

[@pokehunterhd]

That's what I was expecting.

[@PZTIG]

That's arguably way less funny than the King Gambit punchline

[@mariorockersxd4919]

9:27 this Jigglypuff MUST be recruited for Team Sky!

[@Pablo360able]

What makes that meme especialy funny is that there *is* a fourth auto-crit move: Frost Breath.

I am genuinely surprised the second one wasn't a "if it's not 100% accurate it's 50% accurate" joke

[@masterofchaos7282]

7:50 minor correction I guess, they are kind of connected in 1 game: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue Rescue team. After you’ve recruited all 3 legendary birds, Lugia awakens, creates twisters near the island where the birds now live and you get access to the dungeon it lives in Silver Trench.

[@emilygratz9203]

[@mindwarp42]

Re: slides of all types: being someone who actually went to Action Park in the late 80s/early 90, the Cannonball Loop would be Ghost/Water, not Dark/Water. It's a slide that was almost never open even when the original park existed, due to the design never really having the issues worked out to the designer and park owner's satisfaction. If it had been open regularly, then like the bulk of Action Park it would be Dark type (the Grave... I mean Wave Pool being an exception. as that was always Ghost type), but it really was a ghost ride before the original park closed. Now, the Alpine Slide was definitely Dark type...

[@bugbear2357]

yeah but the dark type is also known as the evil type and everything I've seen about that slide (primarily the part about people getting lacerations going through it because there were _teeth lodged in the slide_ ) makes me think it's evil

[@Bullshittingsquid]

I’m not sure if you’re going to see this, but this series (and your videos as a whole) bring me so much joy! I’m a dual enrolled high school senior and having been really struggling recently with ADHD and mental health with senioritis and this series (and just all of your videos) bring me so much joy and love watching and rewrzching everything that you have put out. Especially your older videos like the new teams for [enter name] I’ll just put on in the background and they bring me so much comfort. Keep up the Awesoem content and can’t wait till next month❤

[@SugarSpice07]

Person with a similar but less extreme situation here, and I agree with you wholeheartedly! All of Mikey's stuff never fails to bring a smile to my face, especially the Team Sky series, and I'm so glad he does all of this :)

[@C052-ip9zs]

he saw it.

[@morrigankasa570]

It's impressive that "Bossy Boi" escaped that other Dimension & Prison using those Axes. However, I guess in the process he reverted back to "Grunty Boi" & his Axes became far less lethal. I am so glad for that though.

[@verylostdoommarauder]

7:54 It's more confusing in engineering classes since on CNC machines, X and Y map the surface of an object from the top down and Z is used for the height of the tool.

3:15 As an Australian I have to agree. Can you imagine a professor eucalyptus ? Getting to choose a platypus, echidna or dingo Pokémon as the starter ? Travelling the region with a regional varient of kangaskhan (one that looks more like a kangaroo) and drowzee as a wombat. Maybe even have a cassowary and emu Pokémon racing. All while unlocking the mysteries of the Australian outback and surf coast ??? I think about it a lot lol and you should too

@@sorapokeball Long story short… Shiny Okidogi: Orange like Growlithe Shiny Munkidori: Gray like Annihilape Shiny Fezandipiti: Dark blue like Cramorant (or Murkrow, which is more of a stretch since it isn’t native to Kitakami. Of course, it could easily have been brought from somewhere else and not fitting in is a pretty good reason to want to be beautiful, right?)

I'm kinda confused, because the subreddit rules state "no Team Sky submissions". Does Katie, like, dig through a list of removed posts, or is that rule outdated? I really wanna know; I have something I want to post, but don't know if it'll get deleted!

[@Kostyurik]

Today I learned many new things! There is insect similar to grasshopper called katydid. There also a food named deviled eggs (which are also russian eggs, but we in Russia called them stuffed eggs).

perfect sponsor segment idea: if you ever have a sponsor from a company with a waterproof product, Michael could just snap at gruntyboi stealing his sponsor products all the time and tries to wrestle it off him and it falls into a conveniently places bowl of water on the floor and gruntyboi is like "aaAAAA I'VE BROKEN IT" and then Michael reaches into the bowl of water and picks it up and looks at the camera and he's like "oh, did I mention it's waterproof too?"

Hey, Mikey. This may seem like a weird request, but have you ever considered doing a “Gen 9 Roundup” kind of video where you take topics from your old videos and apply them to Gen 9? For some examples, the strongest/weakest/rarest Pokémon to catch, toughest gym leaders, best trades and easiest shinies, etc. You could probably make it a series depending on how many of the old topics you decide to cover, but I’d very much be interested in seeing you cover them.

The fact you also didn’t even have to use a computer or any sort of artificial intelligence and did it with your own hands is so impressive to me. I don’t know where you are in life, but you seriously have a ton of talent; don’t be told otherwise.
