[@GracideaJo]

Primarina is one of my favorite starters lol (me picking mostly all waters 6/9 gens). I agree with soul I leaned more to her siren theme. She in all honesty could’ve been a female starter line with the 12.5% male so females are more common. Just a thought.

As a huge Bounsweet fan Thank you. Oddish, Hoppip, Cherubi, Bounsweet and Smoliv are all S tier.

[@lipika2841]

What's with the weird obsession that you & Dusty have for tiny Grass-types? I don't get the appeal at all. Smoliv is some D tier stuff for being just a worse version of Budew, a baby Pkmn for the record. Tho I guess Bounsweet is even weaker than both of them, but at least it has a pretty cute design, Smoliv doesn't even have that.

[@eriksandstrom8724]

Which website are you using to check the dex with the art and the Scarlet pictures?

[@malmasterson]

Gen 7 has always been on the lower side for me. I think it has some of the most creative designs in the series, but the execution on many just doesn't hit. The dex is very ambitious in a lot of ways, and I give it credit for that. Unfortunately, it only has a few that I'd consider S tier. One of the few S tiers from this gen, though, is my favorite pokemon, which you heartless monsters placed into D. >:( I can't believe this Mareanie slander, and I will never forgive this. Turning off Notifs, Disliked, Unsubbed. Lmao, fr though I'm glad ypu put The Pex in A at least. Mareanie is mine, and I understand that I just have more refined tastes, hehe. That whole lineup from Mareanie to Araquanid is my favorite for this gen, as most of the rest outside of Mimikyu just doesn't even come close to touching S tier.

Gen 9 Tier List 2: Dusty’s Redemption

[@krystlspoonz]

Fun fact re human attributes. In the books in original green and red mansion it discusses a point where humans and pokemon were indistinguishable from each other and interred. At some point humans elevated themselves above the rest.

[@krystlspoonz]

Considering Alola's isolation they may have taken much longer to conform to new trends, explaining the higher humanistic features of their pokemon.

[@JoshZ802]

I think this was the most passionate and animated Soul was in any of these tier lists and I am here for it. That said even though midnight lycanroc is one of the most recognizable sun/moon mons I think it’s super overrated.

[@jamesperrott1]

Mareanie in D is absolutely criminal evil behaviour smh S tier, it’s adorable, James’s mareanie in the anime is the cutest thing

[@lipika2841]

Litten can't be called the best cat Pkmn when Mewtwo exists. It was plainly killing me inside how long it took to get to Decidueye (49 min mark) & all that anticipation for it to not even be ranked S tier is crushing (Dusty... WHY?) As a comparison y'all were at Talonflame in Gen6's ranking. Regarding Pikipek & it's a side tangent entirely, but have you guys seen the image where someone complains that modern Pkmn designs lean towards having more cartoony attributes & fewer in-depth design features, & Pipipek is a prime culprit for that philosophy in their eyes. I do agree with them on the artstyle thing & to prove their point further, they switched artstyles between Gen1 & newer Pkmn. The results are not pretty, however. No disrespect to whoever's art it is, but they look terrible. Crabrawler seems more like it's from Dragon Quest. Pipipek & Zorua don't look like monsters to me. If I saw them in, say, an encyclopedia, I wouldn't think they're from some media franchise like Pokémon & would just see them as drawings of regular plain animals. Vulpix & Pidgey are way too smoothed out, as if the artist really wants to convince you that the current artstyle is wholly worse & holding back the recent designs. They're bad demonstrations that push their mindset onto others, at least I think so anyway.

[@krystlspoonz]

This video shoulda been called 3.5 hours of hottakes. 😅😂

[@fertilebananas1963]

Yooo! What's up y'all! In my opinion, Alola is kind of on the lower-spectrum of generations for me, but I think a Legends game could be really cool! Especially if they made insane interiors for the buildings. Some ideas I have are: 1. You could have a boat pulled by a Lapras (or other Pokémon), that you could customize the interior, like you could fish a shiny Magikarp and the have it framed in your boat! 2. If all the islands had a unique clan, and they were all going to war and all wanted you on their side as a Pokémon supplier or messenger or something! So you could steal stuff from one and give it to another or supply one with fire-type Pokémon and give another water-types. (The clans could each be worshipping a different Tapu) 3. You could also be hired as a sort of 'ghost buster' researching into the disappearing's of people and sightings of Ultra Beasts. Thanks for reading! Let me know what y'all think! P.S. I just realized that #2 is sort of just like in Legends Arceus...

The Star on Primarina isn't a new Pokemon, its a Star Piece (The Item). At the time, Yungoos was from a region we haven't seen before. However, that doesn't mean its an India region, as Mongoose are also native to the Iberian Peninsula and Yungoos can be found in Paldea either, where it doesn't need to be pest control either, due to the lack of Rattata.

[@brandoncrutchfield2258]

Finally getting to sit down and watch this, I'm so glad y'all finally made it here to my favorite region and I cannot wait until that retrospective of Sun and Moon😁. Like Soul this was my true resergence to Pokemon, I was in history class when it was announced and man I was just over the moon (pun intended) with everything. The music, the art style, the designs of characters. I was really glad they made our character fully scaled too, I like X and Y but I didn't like the awkward model of our character. It's like this weird blend of a chibi and scaled model and it just kept throwing me off lol. I always have to sit down and play Moon every once in a while just to try and immerse myself in the game again. This generation is so important to me because it made me realize my passion for Pokemon again, something I hadn't felt since I played Platinum when I got it for christmas as a kid one year. Gens 5 and 6 were no doubt great in their own right, but I just didn't quite love them as much as gen 4. So Sun and Moon really shook my world, Solgaleo and Lunala are such amazing designs too. I mean the whole space theme is just an awesome theme to go with and the invasive species idea with ultra beasts was really clever as well. I really wish these games somehow carried over to the Switch when it came out😂. Also when Dusty referenced Scream, all I could think about was Soul calling Dusty and him saying "So what's your favorite gen 7 Pokemon" with ghost face voice changer😭🤣

[@braytoncooper6071]

I completely get why soul or anyone wouldn’t like Mimikyu but to me it was almost the same as Dusty. For some reason I fell in love with this Mon, and now it’s a top 5 for me. I think it’s because I relate to it, it just wants to be appreciated like pikachu is.

Nearly 4 hour episode but was still enjoyable start to finish Would love both a SM retrospective and shiny tier list episode Also since ranked Mega Evos and likely will Gigantimax forms, can you rank the Z moves as well

[@donovan802]

While Rowlet is my favorite of the base starters (before and after the final stage reveals), I still love Litten and will defend Popplio. Seriously, there were cults formed in defense of Popplio since people DESPISED the clown nose and called it, and I quote Polygon, “a shitty, nominal derivative of Piplup, who is the most adorable thing to grace the planet.” That was so uncalled for, especially when the whole trio is based off circus acts. Decidueye - the archer, Incineroar - the tiger jumping through the fire ring, and Primarina - the seal balancing a ball on its nose, and it being bubbles for Popplio is adorable.

I don't like the litten line because they used such a dark black, i wish it was more like alolan ratticates colouring. Plus Incinaroar isn't an original concept it's a homage to the wrestler tiger mask, who had a manga and anime. I say this as a wrestling fan, i hate Incinaroar. I'm sorry but toucannon is S tier it's peak OG design style. As a Gumshoos fan, i disagree with you completely, i think the trump thing really hurt its popularity, i'm not a american so i don't see the link or have feelings either way, so i like it, it's a simple design, it's a detective style pokemon which fits into the fact it was brought in to hunt alolan ratticate. Plus there is nothing wrong with normal type, it's my favourite type. I like simple more realistic designs which have a small twist to them.

[@blakelonestar]

Many people like to hate on Incin, but it’s Torracat that’s the problem. If we had a Fire type midstage with similar vibes as Floragato, it wouldn’t be so disliked.

[@ArctiVax]

Gen 7 was probably the game I messed with the most. By that, I mean I did minor editing and modding where I would make any pokemon be able to use signature z moves of any pokemon (like a big pokemon trying to use Ash Pikachu's z move is always hilarious or a bidoof using Light that Burns the Sky lol) so I have a lot of love for the games. I'm also one of minority that preferred Z moves to megas. Sure old pokemon new forms stat buffs is cool and all but regional variants are just better and z moves can be used by any Mon. Also status Z moves added so much diversity and fun factor to the games I was hooked. Z mirror move, Z me first we so chaotic. But the pokemon themselves tho? I liked all the legendaries, mythical and ultra beasts but that's about it? Didn't really care for most of the gen 7 dex apart from rowlet line, kommo-o, rimbombee, dhelmise and Alolan forms. I like a lot of gen 7 mons now but back when it was current gen, I didn't really care for them that much.
