he stopped making adult jokes or swearing because, he got more popular among kids. And to retain his children audience (which is probably the majority) he had to stop sadly.

This is the only channel out of the 60 or 70 I’ve subscribed to over the years that’s held my interest enough for me to remain subscribed. Those old videos fill me with so much pure joy because I remember back in fourth and fifth grade when I’d come home from school and do nothing but binge Pokemon content on KZbin. Thanks, Michael.

I watched these videos when they came out and it's funny how in my memory, they were really well produced and good videos and now it feels like the editing and quality could have been better but in my mind they were really well put together videos at the time. I think when we watch a video or play a game we enjoy those things a lot at the time but when we go back to them after several years, they feel lower quality. The bar is raising everyday for content on the internet and this was kinda inspiring 😄.

[@nickpatricolamusic8054]

I've only been watching you since 2020, Mikey, but even still, I consider myself a proud part of your community (and also TEAM SKY!!!) I'll be honest, 2019 to 2022 have been so far the worst years of my life, so I've needed to distract myself a lot, and your videos have helped me not only do that, but you've given me the ability to laugh even when I don't feel like it. You're one of the funniest and most passionate people I know (as a fellow Pokemon fan, that's a must to say) that I've ever seen on KZbin, and the community you've managed to build is amazing. I honestly have to thank you, Mikey, because I personally have no idea where I'd be if I hadn't found your videos and started watching them not just for personal enjoyment, but also to take a good break from the BS of life. Thank you, so much, Mikey, I'm a a Pokefan until the end! Gotta catch em all!!

[@tylertichoc7330]

I discovered Pokémon talk Episode 1 as the first video from his channel back in 2014 and still remember how he used to have the Spateport City Remix slowly begin to creep up and then blast out at full volume after he said Gotta catch them aaaaalllll. And this channel will always be that extremely load and happy chorus of bells and Synthesizer for me that chases the clouds away. Ironic yet fitting given Michael's love for Castform and my sheer disdain for it. Simply put, Castform was the Shiny Kabuto for me. Yeah, that's how frustrating it was trying to complete my Pokedex in Sin and Ultra Sun.

[@MidnightWhisper]

I had some thoughts with the pokeball theories. I feel like the ideal environment theory has more merit to specifically luxury balls (maybe also friend balls)--the concept that they are so comfortable it raises the Pokémon's happiness and is even called the luxury ball. Also since Pokemon are able to generally hear the trainer and escape as they wish to I doubt it's inhumane (unless it's a master ball perhaps). It's like how some animals like to go in their crates to sleep or relax because it's like a comfortable den to them, while others, like Pikachu, do not.

[@anothergamer112]
