It seems as if we’ve found out Cave Form Mighty’s origin story. It seems like it was because he was the only Mighty that got treated poorly by Mikey, as you could see in that intro. That’s why he resorted to residing in caves, away from any part of Mikey’s world. Very interesting. He still looks very cute though.

In the pokedex its called the baby Pokemon. Yet it doesn’t fit in to the category of the fan term “baby pokemon”. Ironic

The most base requirement is that they're basic stage Pokémon that can't breed until they evolve. That's how we define "Baby Pokémon", not by dex categories or fanon terms.

It’s a really fun community dynamic, honestly, really encouraging fans to keep drawing their own fanart and stuff, really nice! He also lets in OCs into Team Sky based off of style and character design! I kinda wanna get Reddit again just so I can be a part of things, y’know? Make an OC who’s team has some gimmick that makes them eligible for Team Sky, draw comics of who of the main evil team leaders is most likely to join Team Sky based off of number of eligible Pokemon and stuff (spoiler alert, it’s Cyrus, with a grand total of 3, with Gyrados, Crobat, and Honchkrow, where as all of the others have 1-2. Cyrus also happens to be one of the only evil team leaders who I can somewhat write properly and ‘in character’, which is fun, unfortunately I cannot draw him for the life of me without making his forehead look twice as big as it already is)

[@13CrystalHeart]

Silver's Crobat is more used as a show of his character development and his mellowing out. Cyrus does have some sympathetic traits looking into his backstory, and he was friends with Rotom in the past (all but confirmed in Masters), so perhaps his Crobat is more of a sign of those hidden sympathetic traits, that he isn't purely evil, and potentially even treats his Pokémon decently (or at the very least, isn't abusive to them). (I feel like they were building up to a redemption story with Cyrus, given how they established the sympathetic motive and past friendship with Rotom, how they redeemed him in two official manga, his final dialogue asking the player if things could happen different for him had he met them sooner in Ultra, and even having Cynthia state she thinks he can change in Masters, but then we got BDSP instead and that all went that out the bloody window.)

[@cron1807]

tbf I wouldnt blame BDSP on this one, as BDSP was meant to be a pretty faithful remake. in my opinion, the best showing of Cyrus in official media is the Pokemon Evolutions short series (which shows a unique story surrounding the villains, sometimes from another perspective, sometimes from another universe)

[@chaoscasserole5990]

For the spiritomb thing, Fire Fang is able to hit through Wonder Guard due to an oversight, and the game knows about it. If you bring a Wonder Guard Spiritomb to a facility in the Battle Frontier, the game will start spamming Fire Fang users since Fire Fang is the only move that can hit the Spiritomb.

@@chaoscasserole5990 I don't think it was a bug, as if you were to bring a shedinja you would just assume it functioned as normal, if there are fire fang users outside of the BF then I'll assume it was, but it seems to me like an anti-cheating measure that a legitimate player would need to work around anyway, especially since the BF starts spamming them as you say

In defense of Glimmora being the champions ace, Rock is the only type to not have a major specialist in Scarlet and Violet, so they made the champion have a Rock pokemon to be the ace, so that every type has at least one pokemon that tera's into that type. Only issue is that the only rock types introduced in gen 9 are Klawf, Garganacl, and Glimmora, Glimmora by far being the strongest of this group.

The statue for the "the test isn't that confusing. the test:" meme is a fusion of both Dialga and Palkia. The Diamond and Pearl Adventures arc gave us a better look on what the statue looks like. And based on that, it seems to be Dialga's head on Palkia's body.

5:24 Actually, it's both Rock and Fairy, based on Lockstin's if Arkoos was every type video. However, if you take into effect moves and abilities that remove type immunities, then a mon that was every type would be have a triple weakness to Ground. So, basically, bring Mega Diancie or 100% Zygarde that knows his signature moves.

[@jstraight1667]

Fairy should be neutral if the resistances of Poison, Steel, and Fire cancel out the weaknesses of Fighting, Dragon, and Dark. However I am confused why the meme said 7 immunities, as there are 8 in the game.

[@tennagon3822]

“They haven’t made any new ones in a while”. My guy, Toxel exists

[@zxshadowxz]

To give some credit to the whole Ross power plan. Galea specifically was gonna run out of Dynamax energy, and since like…all of Galars culture and tourism is based around Dynamax battles, it running out would probably have caused quite a few issues for the region.

[@CyberDrewan]

Yeah, if you take away the “1000 years from now” part, it actually makes way more sense for Rose to stall and interrupt the Championship match in attempt to get Leon to help him figure the energy crisis out. When you add that it won’t happen for 1000 years from now, it takes all of the urgency of the plotline out. It definitely feels like they hardcore wrote themselves into a corner and didn’t have time to write something satisfying. The problem with not knowing when the energy running out is that it disincentivizes players from dynamaxing in the postgame, which can cause problems when you have the competitive scene and postgame features (like raid dens) depend on this mechanic. They couldn’t figure out a satisfying ending, so they slapped the 1000 years (or however long it was), and washed their hands of it.

[@wintonnguyen]

Even then, it’s a thousand years. And I assume the Pokémon world has a way to convert electrical energy to dynamax energy if they have balls the price of of pizza that can capture gods and ways to travel between different universes.

[@zxshadowxz]

@@CyberDrewan something to remember is that Ross technically did get what he wanted. The darkest day happened again, and presumably recharged Galar’s supply of Dynamax energy.

Which kinda makes me feel bad for his Crobat, it loves him but he doesn't give a damn about it.

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

Nah, I think Cyrus does feel the same way about his Pokémon. He doesn't like emotions, but he still _has_ them. He even says in Platinum that his emotions are the result of his own incomplete spirit, as he puts it. I think he comes off as emotionless because that's what he wants to appear as, but he can't stop himself from feeling his emotions anyway. And maybe he doesn't keep this facade up when it's just him and his Pokémon, so they get to see a side of him that we don't. And if his Golbat sees that side of him and evolves into Crobat... I feel like that says something about Cyrus.

I love how stupidly funny that intro was. Also DRIPPLIN.

5:14 Do you realize how much food Snorlax eats the moment it wakes up? Ash’s Snorlax was motivated enough before Ash caught it to swim between different islands in the Orange Isles to eat more

[@CheeseGuyNotSpy]

According to the OG pokedex, 900lbs

[@rimurutexts]

@@CheeseGuyNotSpy In the original anime, a Snorlax was thought to be blocking the stream to a town when I reality it was a bunch of vines. The moment the Snorlax was woken up, it ate all the vines

@@rimurutexts I know, ep.38

Also, Hisui Pokedex literally states that Snorlax literally causes villages to starve soooo

6:36 believe it or not, but jumpluff is actually quite good in vgc and a player specifically, Joseph Ugarte, played it this season multiple times and made some pretty astounting results with it. Clorophyll + sleep powder + all the other support moves it gets it's kinda crazy honestly

[@nightspawnson-of-luna4936]

I was going to say that Jumpluff is one of those pokemon who's best used in the tcg... Like Unown... I mean at least in the tcg some of them are pretty good

[@miikaroos3809]

Just today when I was playing Brilliant Diamond online, I got so annoyed by an opposing stall team's Jumpluff that I chose to forfeit over wasting any more time, because I knew I'd already lost. So yeah, sometimes even so-called useless Pokémon can surprise you if you're not prepared.

I think Michael needs to pay the person who made the jackets so that he can have his very own team sky jacket to wear for videos Also quick note keep up the amazing work both Michael and Katie these videos help brighten my day when i see them get added

[@Awoken_YKW_Fan9001]

(About the one at 9:33 ) If Keldeo got a Paradox form, then so would either Celebi or Ho-oh to go with the paradoxes of the legendary beasts, and that would be pretty neat, I think. Although Celebi getting a past form wouldn't make the most sense since it can time travel.

[@thepurestvessel998]

Just make it celebi but yellow

[@garcruncher7271]

I will say I had the Clavell and Player scene in violet. It's triggered when your in the water near the fairy team star dudes compound and you haven't triggered the in game event. I had to do the cutscene like that glitches scene first and then when I actually went to enter it gave it to me again. It's hilarious.

The “are they still furries if they’re bugs” line is from ‘the worst Pokémon of every type’ video.

3:48 yea, you had the machchoke who help you move into your new house at the start of ruby and sapphire as well as their reimaginings on 3ds for one example

[@MineNAdventurer]

Friendship evolutions are based on the Pokémon developing a close friendship with another individual even if it is one way, even if Cyrus sees his Pokémon as nothing his Pokémon still have a bond with him even if it isn't reciprocated. Basically, it's unconditional love/friendship.

[@danielyatziv5151]

Mighteyena is going to be in the dlc, this means we might be able to give it a flying terra type so it can finally count as a Team Sky Pokémon

[@inkling457]

That laugh for the Team Sky rules vandalism was surprisingly fittingly evil sounding for Archie & Maxie XD

[@baofleurence7650]

20:10 : The ressemblance doesn't end there for generations 1 and 9. Scarlet is a shade of red, Violet is more or less a shade of blue. Both gen 9 and gen 1 are known for being very glitchy. They are also the only two generations that let you pick the order in which you fight the gyms. 20:40 : I mean, it makes sense for the pokémon game based on the future to feel newer, right ?

My headcanon about how Cyrus has a Crobat is that since that one scientist guy in the Team Galactic base used to be a Team Rocket member he used that forced evolution technology from the Johto games to make his Golbat evolve.

5:39 this is actually way more thought provoking than the 1 billion lions talk ever was.

[@Snt1_]

Id argue probably the smash cast. Arceus probably gets bodied by Sephiroth. I think a good chunk of the smash cast wouldnt drown to Kyogre, they probably survive heat, and the smash cast has Palu, Rosalina and most of all, Kirby. They also have the monado. I think the biggest edge the pokemon have is ironically Victini

[@jaxsomon3333]

@@Snt1_ that's the thing, each team has a lot of characters with godlike powers, leading to interesting and thought provoking interactions. Meanwhile for the lion talk it's like "can absolute brute force beat a bunch of Gods?".
