POKEMON BATTLE ROYAL | TerminalMontage Pokemon Animation reaction

[@murasaika2776]

to explain the last one for you Makari, in simple terms thats not just ANY Pikachu, it's a "Let's go!" Pikachu, which had all of tye friendship buffs and boosted special moves like guaranteed crits.

[@juubi249]

As well as a greatly increased BST compared to regular Pikachus

[@adamgabrielinfante1590]

Nah It's Ash's Pikachu

[@IsumoHyoudou]

​@@adamgabrielinfante1590 "Let's go!" Pikachu is way more broken than Ash's Pikachu. It can ignore the damage inflicted upon it while Ash's Pikachu can't.

Fun fact: The lines for Kartana (The tiny sword guy in the Ultra Beast Battle Royale) are actually reversed lines from Jetstream Sam, which is a reference to how in the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime Kartana had lines that were just reversed speech.

[@goldendawns4568]

It always annoys me when people just brush off Gnoggins explained videos considering he co-writes and creates the battles. He's a major part of this series and I never see any reactors shout him out or his work, just terminalmontage.

I would like to humbly agree with some of the other comments and warmly recommend Lockstins explanation videos, he was the consult for the accuracy of all of this

[@MrMazingme]

to answer your question, bout why riolu/lucario are being mentioned used in dbz references, is because Sean Schemmel the actual VA for goku voiced lucario in smash wiiu/3ds and smash ult. i hope this helps.

Fun fact: Munchlax did not eat an egg. Happiny doesn't make eggs until it becomes a Chansey. So until it evolves, it carries around egg-shaped rocks in it's pouch. That's also why he fell right after eating it.

57:18 to 57: 35 That is Mimikyu's entire existence in lore. At least Jessie found a liking to one and is treating them well. You should really look up the interactions between Jessie and Mimikyu. I love Mimikyu and I like Jessie, James and Meowth so much! ^^

[@azurebalmung4520]

"Rules of Nature" during the Ultra Beast finale would have been more appropriate than you know - the lines by Kartana (the little paper-looking guy) were Jetstream Sam's lines played in reverse

[@itsturniptime3699]

Alright I’m gonna put some respect on my boys’s names 35:35 No, the second head, whom I shall refer to as Greg, is not eating Farigiraf the giraffe. In their previous form, Girafarig, they were much shorter and Girafarig ate grass. To protect itself, it has a second semi sentient head attached to its tail which can look out for predators and bite at any attackers trying to get the jump on the main tiny giraffe. Upon evolving into Farigiraf they become way taller and no longer need to eat their their face down. With long legs to kick, there’s no need for Greg to remain on the butt end, so Greg moves up and engulfs Farigiraf’s head to both form tough protective neck and head armour as well as link up their brains via an assortment of thick nerves. This means that Greg can completely close their mouth and the giraffe inside can still see everything outside through the hooked up brain system of the two. This powers up their combined psychic abilities and basically turns the head into a sledge hammer to smash into opponents or bite onto them. I’d like to reiterate, no Pokémon are inherently evil besides maybe Malamar and even more dubiously Hypno. One allegedly controls a shadow government, the other has instances of kidnapping children, but besides these two every Pokémon will unconditionally love you if you can take care of them correctly and will protect you with their lives. Sure some of them are weird or terrifying at first but Pokémon are innately your friends and they’re only not if you choose to believe they aren’t. They will eat each other though, because animals already do that.

[@CharaDreemurr-9999]

To be fair, the Hypno thing is seemingly just a one-time incident that permanently ruined the reputation of the species. Now, Drifloon on the other hand...

[@itsturniptime3699]

@@CharaDreemurr-9999 Drifloon is weird because we aren’t sure if it’s taking children peacefully whose time it is to pass due to a weird fate destiny thing and they’re sparing them a worse more brutal end or if some Drifloon do nab kids and some just wanna play. Hypno however has at least 2 instances where it attempts to take a child, one in I believe the Johto games where you save a little girl from a Hypno and again in the Ultra Alola games where a Hypno tries to take you if you visit the trainer school at midnight or something. Then again, some Hypno are used in medicine for insomnia patients so they can be helpful and aren’t exclusively evil, all Pokémon can be nurtured to be good

[@peterhacke6317]

Wailord is floating because it is to light. The heaviest a pokemon can be is 999 kg. An animal with Wailord size should be more than 100 tonnes. With Wailords volume and 999kg it turns out to be slightly lighter than air!

[@Parrasect_oc]

Wailord is not 999kg anyway

[@thelonemask]

Wow, you must have been living under a rock for over the last decade if you really have never heard of mega evolution.

I love these videos because they collaborate with a amazing Pokemon KZbinr Lockstin who does deep dive into Pokemon lore, design philosophies, and much much more. Definitely worth giving their Channel a chance and you should watch the explain because it's also fun

[@thedarknessinthelight9824]

Also you really SHOULD watch the explainations, they're very entertaining and eye opening.

[@Niko__01]

Gigantamx pokemon aren't just bigger. That's dynamax. Gigantamax is a form granted to only a few pokemon in sword and shield, and unless you got a special version of that pokemon, you had to get the dlc, isle of armor, to unlock gigantamax for any one of your pokemon that qualified. The gigantamax pokemon in the video are more or less what they look like in the game (just, you know, with terminal montage's animation style)

[@pokeblue596]

It always bugs me when people get the two mixed up

[@spacebananas7856]

Makari: I don't recognise the newer ones Also Makari not knowing any gen 4 pokemon including giratina

[@Foxono-jin]

The anime can just be determined as a separate reality where Pokemon are way more docile than how they would probably realistically be. So people saying that they'd want to be in that pokemon world could be reasonable and not that dangerous.

[@officerbucktuddrussel394]

"why don't we have a pokemon battle royal?" I think these videos give a pretty good reason why.

[@MrAuthor3DS]

I think the closest Pokemon ever had to a battle royale was Pokemon Rumble U. I could be mistaken, though.

[@officerbucktuddrussel394]

@@MrAuthor3DS Technically a 'pokemon only' round of smash bros would count wounldn't it? I tried looking up the definition of 'battle royal' to see what would count and technically I think a 3 v 3 pokemon battle counts.

[@SmollerishBean]

1:09:16 That's not Chikorita, that's Torchic

[@davidsousa4652]

So from I’ve gathered from the ending clips, what happened was Mega Gengar was responsible for those 3 Pokémon (Bannette, Mawhile, and baby Kangaskan) being freed from the mega evolution simulation. The others that were thrown died in unique ways. They then used Gigantamax Gengar to go even further beyond and find the “architect” of the simulations. Now they just kept hopping from one simulation to the next until Sudowoodo managed to log into the PC and free them.

[@Trevthehedgehog7]

Long story short for the final two? In the (paraphrased) words of ProtonJon: "Partner Pikachu is so fun, but he's _so broken!"_

[@MrAuthor3DS]

- The common joke is that Wailord must be less dense than air for its weight to make sense. - Apparently, even Turtonator's droppings contain highly combustible substances. Hence the...shotting attack. - This took Magikarp's "can jump higher than a mountain" to the highest extreme by jumping to the very height of the atmosphere, making it fall like a meteor. - Pokedexes claim that volcanoes go off every time Entei barks. - Kyurem has the ability to absorb Reshiram or Zekrom to take on stronger forms (in stone form, granted). - The shapeshifting thing battling Rayquaza is Deoxys, a mutated virus Pokemon that's often seen clashing with the dragon. - Yveltal's death forces it to drain the life out of all surrounding lifeforms before entering hibernation. Necrozma played it smart by setting it off like a nuke. - Necrozma and Arceus are pretty much the two multiversal powerhouses of the series (so far). In fact, we may never see the TRUE Arceus - because any Arceus we get to interact with in gameplay is merely one of its avatars (as affirmed in Legends: Arceus). - No, Happiny doesn't carry a real egg, like Chansey or Blissey do. Instead, she carries a round rock. That's why it gave Munchlax a tummyache. - Well, it's because Lucario uses Aura, which functions like ki, AND it was voiced by Sean Schemmel. - Mega Evolution is a gimmick that was introduced in Gen-6 (also seen in Gen-7). It's gonna see a return in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. And only specific Pokemon get Mega Evolutions (and they're all final stages, as in they can't evolve further). - Only Charizard and Mewtwo have two different Mega Evolutions. - Mega Rayquaza is kinda notorious, since it's the only Mega that doesn't need to hold a Mega Stone (it just needs to know a certain admittedly strong move). - Eternatus is a Legendary Pokemon that caused the Dynamax phenomenon in Galar. It's only here to cause all the Gigantamaxes. - The little guys are Meltan, a Mythical Pokemon that was introduced in Pokemon GO. They evolve into Melmetal (though only in Pokemon GO) - this is the Pokemon that can Gigantamax. - Gigantamax Flapple and Appletun (the big apple worms) were reenacting a Neon Genesis Evangelion battle against Melmetal, by the by. And yes, those two's G-Max forms look identical, and they look closer to their prevo Applin. - Gigantamax Gengar is pretty much a hellmouth. The strandees from the Mega Battle Royale were using its maw as a portal out of that reality. - Agreed. Mega Evolution, at least, is totally the Poke-bourgeoisie. At least Gigantamax is merely an alternate extra effect to certain Max Moves. (to be cont'd)

[@MrAuthor3DS]

- Ultra Beasts aren't special forms. They're special Pokemon from alternate worlds, and an exaggerated play on invasive species (which are a big deal in Alola's inspiration of Hawaii). - The Ultra Beast Battle Royale has a lot of sci-fi references, like: 2001, Stitch, Transformers, Ridley, daleks, Star Wars trash compactor, Alien, First Encounters of the Third Kind, Signs, Space Core, Among Us, IT... - Buzzwole doesn't actually have big muscles - those are all fluid sacs. - Hey, glue beats paper. - Over...54 billion boxes in that PC system?? A-As a reference, a single Pokemon HOME account only has up to 200 boxes. You'd need well over 270 million Pokemon HOME accounts to match that many! - Besides the obvious starters of Grass, Fire, and Water, this also has all Eeveelutions possible from Pokemon XD and Pokemon Conquest (Nobunaga's Ambition spin-off) and the Let's Go starters (Pikachu and Eevee). Poipole, meanwhile, is considered a "starter" for the people of Ultra Megalopolis. - Huh. I don't recall Chikorita being an orange baby chicken. - Actually, the Dexes say that normal Charizard's tail flame just turns bright blue when it's angry. - Hisuian Typhlosion gains the spectral powers of the Ghost-type - specifically, as a kind of sage. - Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee (from Let's Go) can't evolve, but they're much stronger than normal, get access to some broken unique moves, and have more potent friendship bonuses. That's one of the reasons Pikachu is in the top two here - the other is TCG tier lists. - The only future Battle Royales I can think of are: Galarian (all the non-Legend/Mythical Pokemon introduced in Sword/Shield), Hisuian (Pokemon introduced in Legends: Arceus), Paldean (introduced in Scarlet/Violet, DLC included), and maybe a team battle between Paradox Pokemon (ancient and future). And if we wanna really stretch...Super Smash Bros. Battle Royale*? * As in the fighters' canon capabilities from their own game series, minus certain things like glitch-based traits, special death-prevention modes (like Steve's Creative Mode and Corrin's Phoenix Mode), and past-altering powers (like Byleth's Divine Pulse and so many fighters' time-traveling). Could probably allow vehicles...if only to see Olimar's ship use its star-destroying Nova Blaster.

[@andrewstephenson5825]

Mega Evolutions have lore that I am very iffy on. In the Gen 6 where they were introduced, there were no PokeDex entries for them, and an emphasis was placed on the bond between the trainer and their Pokemon (not inherently friendship, as that is very much not a requirement, but a bond nonetheless). When Gen 7 rolled around, they did get Dex entries! ... And God I wish they didn't, because it is a cavalcade of mental torture and body horror, as Im sure you noticed in TerminalMontage's video. Some of them were fine, like Ampharos' genes being stimulated by the Mega Energy to regrow its wool and awaken its slumbering dragon's blood, but others... Scizor, Garchomp, and Houndoom are starting to melt, Pokemon like Gyarados and Gengar are essentially driven insane or otherwise mentally altered into violent and dangerous creatures that either can't differentiate friend from foe or just don't care who theyre killing... Honestly, the only thing about this that I like is a fan interpretation that merged the two viewpoint, seeing it as the Ultimate show of trust between a Trainer and their Pokemon to allow themselves to be physically and mentally warped in such agonizing ways, even if only temporarily. I'm normally all for Pokemon's darker and creepier side, but I don't like retroactively reframing this cool new mechanic to imply that trainers are willfully hurting their Pokemon in exchange for power, which typically is a message Pokemon directly fights against. Edit: Oh yeah, Charizard and Mewtwo both got Megas for both versions of the Gen 6 games, X and Y. Also in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Latios and Latias's Megas were identical, which I don't like. I understand them being similar since theyre twins but I wish they were at least a little more distinct.
