The fact that Mikey is confident leaving Grunty Boi alone in his house is pretty wild.

[@Dandylion567]

Grunty Boi is like when someone gets a dog that's wild and destructive at first, but after time and mutual understanding, you can leave it alone without worrying about it wrecking your house. 😂

[@Whyteroze28]

The thing is... isn't Grunty Boi breaking in? So why didn't Mikey even notice he had been there? Maybe his shower curtain could have been moved or something. I actually think it's funny that he's more expecting (and accepting) the break-in at this point... Does Grunty Boi lock up behind him? would seem odd if he does... Maybe I'm overthinking this, lol.

I don’t remember the first time I saw one of your videos, but after like 5-6 years of not liking/remembering Pokémon, you’ve rekindled my love for it. The first game I *remember* playing is ranger, but then I never got another one until BDSP, and I’ve been obsessed ever since! I played TGC for a bit (not correctly but I had fun), and still occasionally grab a pack. Thank you for making me love Pokémon again!

This is such a unique idea. I would never have thought of this for a playthrough

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

Oh, this was cool. I love how useful Wigglytuff ended up being for you, I know it's not a great Pokémon, but I find it can get stuff done when it needs to. And glad you eventually figured out Exeggutor is in fact in the game, I was almost screaming at the screen a few times there. Definitely a cool video, and seeing you playing GO again made me think back to those themed Community Day videos, those were so cool, I should really rewatch those.

[@PancakebatterLuigi]

I haven’t finished the vid yet but I like how Lairon carried fairy gym and was in a lot for the ghost gym, agron is my fav Pokémon for nostalgia and it being my 2nd second shiny ever. It’s also in hoenn and that’s my first game, so I’m happy the big old metal guy gets some love.

You should do this again every so often, because it'll be different every time, because of Pokemon GO changing spawns. Another alternative would be that after the 4th gym, at least one of the Pokemon has to be caught from a raid, or something like that.

[@joshfarmer8408]

For a new video, I want you to talk about home field advantage for gym leaders of every type, like all flying gym leaders have a permanent tail wind, or dark having a permanent taunt up

[@luisc.5080]

I actually experience something close to this in Pokemon hackrooms, where, for example, in the water gym is always raining. It is an amazing way of making the game harder in a creative way rather than just giving higher level Pokemon to gym leaders. I look forward to see what Mikey can come up with your idea

[@NeonWafflez707]

Permanent gravity 😳

[@kaelanmcalpine2011]

I think Hardcore mode in Radical Red does something like that at least with Koga and Sabrina though maybe also the rest of them. Koga's ninja aesthetic is backed up by casting Tailwind so his Pokemon can all be faster than you, as if his Mega Toxtricity wasn't already faster than my fucking Alolan Ninetails as it was. Sabrina in all versions I think casts Trick Room which sorta has the same effect. She also gets a Mega Hatterene which is naturally, really goddamn slow so Trick Room is great for it. Giovanni isn't a gym leader anymore but he still used a sand team and also has an Excadrill with Sand rush which means you either need to kill it before it kills you, or get some other weather setter, preferably Rain or Sun since it's weak to water and fire, to stop it.

[@idosomethingiguess3680]
