In my hubris I thought that this wouldn't be too bad since I've been a Pokémon fan my whole life, but the clue "Measures 1.3m" proved otherwise

[@rotatorebato]

I your defence there is a difference between a fan and a fanatic

Joe Merrick is such an evil and twisted person for making this crossword that with all the obscure answers from Pokemon Masters EX to specific Pokemon forms, Mega Mewtwo X was the thing to completely break RT. I hope he reads the Serebii news after all this torture.

3:25 for those wondering why chat was saying guzzlord, in the anime guzzlords cry was just a guy screaming, and imo one of the best crys ever, up there with the reggi sounds

[@rebola466]

I looked up a video of guzzlords cry and now I'm crying tears of joy. Thank you for telling this amazing fact

[@jaydenyamada2916]

One of the few I actually got quickly, that cry is burned into my brain.

[@pascalthecurator3368]

perhaps the hardest i've laughed this year so far, thank you for this information

[@xaiverbres7335]

Guzzlord always confused me because while funny as all hell it really seems like it’s a shoe-in for just normal kaiju roar sounds instead of **literally just some guy screaming**

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

The absurdity of that cry is so beautiful, I need to hear this Guzzlord talk to the original Electabuzz cry, it might solve world peace

[@Arki_Green]

Once RT finishes this he gets 1 point for the Knowledge social stat. He’s 1 step closer to encyclopedic.

Honestly, this crossword puzzle seems to be only fun in pretty much this exact scenario, a funny dad solving it with his hivemind child. Otherwise many of these clues are just way to vague

Chat is really pulling their weight on this one, RT. Also when you described the crossword I just thought it would be long, but not such near impossible answers, but no, they really meant 'Hardest Pokemon crossword'. As a casual fan who has played most of the games but stopped at gen 7, I would've had no f'ing chance. Also I want to see Pokemon Challenges do this. Jan, this is your ultimate battle!
