@@BossMr51 No its a trope that memes have made popular. Go learn what a trope is. Your whole "ive only known him 5 mins but if anything happens to him" is a parody of the actual trope which has existed in multiple animes before the term "meme" was even a thing... take episode 1 of pokemon for example (which existed before memes were a thing) where ash sacrificed himself for pikachu and tried to challenge every pokemon to ever exist. Spend 30 years watching movies, shows, anime and you will learn every trope there is and you will gain significant knowledge which shouldnt be questioned by gen z kids like you. memes are parodies of tropes... repeat after me... memes are parodies of tropes. 🤔

For me I choose for spigatito because well I just thought it looked nice, and it turned into a persona five character practically .

[@kaelanmcalpine2011]

Oh you know what I can see the P5 influence too now that you mention it. I was thinking more like the Gambling nobodies from Kingdom Hearts so when I get Violet for Christmas, I was gonna name him Luxord. My only gripe with Meowscarada is that there's no reason for it to be dark other than to complete the dark starter trinity (with Greninja and Incineroar), It really should've been psychic or fairy. I do also relate to Mikey being the first one to not choose Fuecoco, albeit I've only seen Kiara and Baelz before him.

@@kaelanmcalpine2011 yeah for me I saw Wolfie, Pm7, a guy named Joshscorcher, even saw wildcat, jaden animation and can’t remember the last one, but other than Mikey those were the ones I saw.

Your voice acting is giving the characters (specially Nemona) quite a personality that I didn't really discover during my playthrough, thanks for that! 🙂🙂

[@Deschained19]

Y’all should totally do a stream where you do the upcoming Charizard raid with fans. It’ll help people actually complete it cause it’s supposed to be fairy difficult, and it’s be cool to catch a Pokémon with you.

[@rodcortes19]

Mikey saying “the aiming is random”, but pressing the Let’s Go feature button is too funny

[@maxximumrockatansky7186]

Watching this after finally finishing Violet myself, and it sadly took me the....near entire game to realize I could take my hat off XD

[@superoxas64]

I for one am loving this new long LP format. Also I like how I wasn’t the only one that thought how our protagonist was from Galar

[@pika1222]

I can’t wait to get Pokémon Scarlet for myself! (I’m poor so I have to wait till Christmas TwT). I’m also picking Quaxly, and I plan on nicknaming it Platinum, named after Star Platinum from JoJo! I mean it’s fast, loves dramatic poses, and it looks like a JoJo stand! Edit: there isn’t a shiny sparkle sound in this game, so if you don’t see a shiny you’re most likely gonna miss it. A helpful bit of advice is that if you send your Pokémon out with the Let’s Go feature, they won’t kill shiny Pokémon. Like, at all

[@ICR_Frizzstroyer]

Actually the let's go feature doesn't differentiate between shiny and non-shiny pokemon

[@m3ppy]

At first I was like “why star platinum” now that I think about it, quaxly does have the Jojo poses

[@axolotlity]

i named my Quaxly after a JoJo character too lol, i named him Josuke because he hates getting his hair dirty

This video brought me back to the simple days of watching gameplay videos on a Saturday with nothing to do. These new games are a great experience to both watch and play through!! Great job as always Mikey!😊

[@speedyhedgehog5834]

this game is so much fun. there is so much to do, so many different paths to take, and there r multiple ways to take on the game. im having a blast, and i hope you continue to!

[@neonlightning1996]

I was so excited that I could find nature mints in the wild, I made sure to change my Ceruledge's nature as soon as I evolved it; I'm also glad that they kept the overworld shinies

FUECOCO FOREVER

[@onyx3939]

all the starter designs r incredible, sprigatito going from a thief to a jester, quacksly being one of those carnival dancers, and fuecoco being...something idk he looks cool hto. theyre all very cool and insanley way designed

[@getshwifty3101]

I originally really disliked Meowscarada's form, but I still picked Sprigatito as I nicknamed her (First time female Starter, and first ever Nickname) after my cat. I wasn't looking forward to the evolution, but after having the 2nd for a while, I had kinda gotten used to a bipedal cat. But it was especially after learning the Signature Move, Meowscarada slowly became my favorite of the 3. There's a chance, having her named after my cat helped with the bias lol

[@rayraffiki1856]

I'm glad you're doing it this way. I really enjoyed your old long playthroughs

[@iamsiley]

finally a poketuber who waits for the official release date, thank you mikey

[@doritohair0759]

Now that it’s been over a year, allow me to introduce my team for Scarlet 1. Meowscarada (Weed Cat) 2. Pawmot (Pikapaws) 3. Clodsire (Pooper) 4. Armorouge (Mega Woman) 5. Annihilape (Grim Reaper) 6. Tinkaton (Tinkle) I think that these 6 Pokémon make for the best playthrough team in my incredibly Biased opinion, as I had the most fun using all of them. Perfect mix of Cute, Strong, Cool, and Gimmick for a first playthrough team. Plus having revival blessing is incredible if ur doing a no items in battle playthrough.

[@AltairTheGamer]

Finally I can see it! I was waiting for your playthrough specifically, so I don't know anything! This will be a really fun hour and a half.
