The best Pokemon game is finally getting the respect it deserves

[@sharingheart13]

Greevil being evil shocked me so much when I was little for a different reason. When I first saw him, I thought, "He looks obviously evil, which means he can't possibly be evil because that's just what the game wants me to think." Of course, that lead to the inevitable, "What?! He actually is evil?! This is blowing my mind!"

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

playing the Japanese version truly puts me in confusion because most if not all the names were changed. Greevil's name in the Japanese version is Deathgold (デスゴールド) and that does sounds weird compared to Greevil (Great Evil ?)

[@TrueN8-bit]

17:32 The first time I got to that point in the game I was unfazed. Why? Because I completely forgot about the first encounter with that old guy in Gateon Port. I was probably around 10 at the time and I think about two months had passed between reaching Gateon Port and getting to this point. I don't remember why it took so long, but it probably has something to do with the fact I sucked at Pokémon back then, and I also probably set the game down for a bit. Anyway, I'm also really glad this game is getting some attention, especially since it's always overshadowed by it's older brother, Colosseum. Fun reaction, as is always the case. The little skits got me laughing, especially the door one. Looking forward to your next video.

19:38 I battled Shadow Lugia as a kid, I only catch things in normal Pokeballs - even legendaries - and I've been doing that for as long as I can remember; it's never really been that tough in any game, but I suppose it did take a while in Ultra Moon, due to the sheer number of them lol I also wrnt through the effort of catching Necrozma in a Beast Ball, which _was_ insane since it isn't considered an Ultra Beast (leaving it with 1/10 the catch rate of a Pokeball) That was in base Moon btw, not Ultra Moon
