Hello

[@amodking]

Can we see a video with pick a starter with the worst ability and or worst ability for that Pokémon. So in a way a physical move on a special attacker would be bad, but this whole concept got me thinking about how many pokemon actually can have splash lol 😂. Like it could be a garadose or it could be a goldeen. Picking wrong could be they get to keep the ability but picking the right Pokémon can change that move to anything kinda thing. Would be sick. Though, realistically I want to see more random abilities instead of seeing the same op abilities constantly. Oh another spikes or oh another volt switch.

[@galathorus3256]

Happy holidays! The Krookodile filter ability had the leftovers description text in the edit btw :) Just a small miss but could be a good thing to make a note of. KILLER Editing by Manny otherwise!

[@azazelnh]

Next time dont forget about dark type vs prankster please :)

[@gameraz1990]

A typical Vinny guessing routine: 1) "A pink blob that can transform" - Might be Ditto, not my official guess 2) "Man made pokemon, said to be the strongest. Has 2 megas" - Mewtwo, not my official guess 3) "Is a pokemon" "Alright I'mma guess the 3rd pokemon is a Calyrex, final answer!"

[@KyleTheMan4444]

I love how Vinny switched out the Krookodile to Ludicolo so Spore wouldn't affect it, but Spore wouldn't have worked on Krookodile either because Prankster doesn't work on Dark types, so that good play was a bit redundant

[@Wyntixty]

He’s a lil confused but he’s got the spirit!

[@Vintendo]

They call me redundant Randy tbh

[@WindriderDelta]

I mean, at least he took the Krookodile away from the super-effective Grass-Type. Still the better play

[@davidstratton696]

Was looking for this comment. I facepalmed when he said that and wanted to see if anyone else pointed it out 😂.

[@davidstratton696]

@@WindriderDeltaYeah but that’s not the reason he said he switched. He said he switched out so he couldn’t be put to sleep even tho Darkrai is immune to it.

[@asaka616]

"If you didn't know I've been boxing..." I mean, at this point, it's a guaranteed space on every Vintendo bingo card that Vinny mentions that he boxes.

[@nathanward117]

It is like when Frank goes " oh we are doing a pokemon video "

[@pipin7457]

Love it when the editor joins on in the jokes! The videos are funny and enjoyable as always, but mixing in those moments where the editor pokes back really helps spice things up and shows they are willing to go the extra mile! 8:10 really cracked me up, haha.

[@wildste]

They are sometimes the best part of the video. There was a DougDoug stream where a running gag got started of people donating money to be given to the editors. And for the youtube video, each time it was done, it would cut to the editor getting hit with money. Was the funniest part of the video.

[@MannyBardo]

hahaha thanks soo much!

[@wildste]

@@MannyBardo Keep up the excellent work

[@MannyBardo]

[@domc55]

Cenzo I'm really liking the new pokemon summary screens you've been using, they're super clean and have all of the information well laid out, best in the friend group

[@Vintendo]

So glad you guys like them!!

[@bige007]

Yes, it also includes the Tera type icon which I like to see

[@LightLord831]

Totally agree.

[@Croftyhere]

The amount of times of times Vinny guesses the pokemon correctly, but its "not his official guess" in these videos, only to guess another mon with full confidence incorrectly 😂 he needs to trust his first instinct more often

[@redonkled]

your editor's castform painting hung up on the wall is so fire

[@MannyBardo]

My mum was the one who painted it and this comment made her day, thank you! ❤

[@redonkled]

@@MannyBardo she did a wonderful job! :D

[@Hyunckel101]

Ehmmm, it's actually the water type form?

[@gregorio5360]

10:30 "We play Charades to pick our starters, then we fight!" actually sounds like it would be hilarious! 3 rounds you blind pick based on how your opponent soundlessly mimes to the pokemon. And then 3 rounds you blindly pick your opponent pokemon based on how they react

[@zelos1826]

SHOUT OUT TO MANNY WORKING THEM EXTRA HOURS LOL 23:43 Wow, Filter is a held item? lol

[@MannyBardo]

[@Vintendo]

Good Morning members!! 😊

Morning!

[@damian.from.valhalla]

Good freakin mornin vinny

[@saxgod001]

I LOVE that Vinny has a red mic cover and Rich has a blue one. The best colour pairing!

[@CyrusShameliOfficial]

7:45 I also own sitting cuties, I love that line. They all look adorable and good for collection!

[@KitsuneRokaku]

1:49 Don't worry, Vinny. I know what a BlackBerry is😂

[@Quantum_Magnus]

Yo I’m proud of Vinny for using Hisuian Braviary to take advantage of the SpAtk boost from As One instead of using normal Braviary. He’s getting better y’all!

[@needoxygen7432]

But he also gave it Agility/Psychic instead of its Sig move Esper Wing which both atks and raises spd. Where he could've slotted roost. So you know... ups and downs.

[@priestesslucy]

​@@needoxygen7432 yeah, Psychic and Agility over Esper Wing was definitely a throw.

[@danviferahr1426]

​@@needoxygen7432 i agree that it was one of the decisions of all time, but braviary is VERY slow

[@iLoveBeagles]

[@onetallpheeesh]

Oricorio is a MENACE in Gen 9 with Terastralization. It LOVES being able to use any type and get stab from it with Revelation Dance. Edit: We got Hidden Power at home Fr Fr

[@asterstruck]

it also FINALLY got quiver dance this gen

[@NotSnak]

Oricorio my beloved

[@RedClaw87]

Great work Manny. They gave you additional work and you delivered beautifully. Vinny hired the right guy.

[@MannyBardo]

Thank you!

[@CyrusShameliOfficial]

This video actually is insane in a great way. Also loving that thumbnail.

[@ThunderBlood275]

Shoutout to all the editors for "Then we fight" vids, crazy work

[@MannyBardo]

🙏

[@Chaquebills]

19:16 That Snivy looks really odd 😭

[@ShinyRanger47]

21:25 rich, WHAT blades?? 😂😂

[@darkmask5933]

Almost every round Vinny would just guess one of the Pokémon spot-on, then turn around and get another one wrong with his official guess! X'D

[@Otternity]

wait, delta stream pom-pom oricorio could've had no weakness

[@BusinessSkrub]

Pretty much yup 🙃 as long as its ability didn't get altered/removed!

[@ShivamKoli-nq8zb]

Ghost can block rapid spin

[@dhitkill194]

​@@ShivamKoli-nq8zbhe got a Froslass Next round and they only start building when they're done with all rounds :p

[@WindriderDelta]

Exactly what I was saying!

[@JohnnyGreenslit]

22:47 y’all talking in sync with the countdown was nuts

[@ArgentiLover69]

Vidoe idea? choose your pokemon base on what attacking move you would or not used against the pokemon.

[@AutumnalKitsune]

I love the little Vinny on the thumbnail 😂😂

[@thisisme_gaming]

The part where Manny made it windy was perfect. The wind effect, how you simulated that, absolutely worth it.

[@MannyBardo]

hahaha I love it too, thanks soo much!

[@ShinobiVIPER]

39:07 - “Close combat won’t kill” The mind games 🤣

[@Iceycube1404]

9:50 it's knowledge, emotion, and courage

[@Confidential2U]

You might be cooking with a silent episode. Charades 👀. Then make a punishment if anyone talks

[@RaggerBagger]

I feel like this would be a fun one to bring Purplecliffe onto since he does the laugh you lose stuff.

[@alexheldman]

No better way in starting 2025 than with an absolute banger that combines some of the best and most iconic starter selection methods from 2024 on down - and we even get an editor cameo, not once but THREE TIMES with several effects along the way, from Manny himself (the latest and among the greatest addition to the team) in a cool edit-ception way. Not to mention this is the first Fabletics-sponsored video here since the marathon they also sponsored. Genuinely the most hilarious video with Vinny and Rich yet

[@MannyBardo]

Thank you!

[@andrewdivino08]

I love how the ability description si actually the item description for Krookodile and Primarina

[@thatperson2537]

10:38 that has given me a great idea for a ‘then we fight’ concept. Choosing Pokemon based on the opponents facial reaction to it. Or tries to recreate the Pokemon’s facial expression with their own. Either way I can only foresee chaos

[@TheKatti5000]

I really like it when battle videos include the team description segments! I enjoy hearing your takes on why you chose certain movesets, items and abilities, and what your plan is for each Pokémon in the battle.

[@kengo192]

41:40 Jesus took the wheel for Venny.

[@TheNEONfusion]

Y'all should do a tournament, single elimination-style, where you just make teams of your favorite pokemon. Competitive viability be damned, if you really like Sunkern, then by golly, put it on the team!

[@BusinessSkrub]

Until Luke comes along with his team of "favourite Pokemon" that's only ubers mons lmaooooo

[@GOATexp]

Silent video for April fools day would go crazy

[@PriyankaSoni-c2e]

This video's selection part feels like a fever dream😂

[@McRib29800]

Best part of being a member? Early morning vids to listen to at work! Also less wait time for banging content!!!

[@LuxuFoo]

I'm doing audits at work and vibing to early content. Peak honestly.

[@XDDocXD]

Can always count on vinny to love one of the options, its the vest pokemon on screen, then last secind randomly choose a dif option for no reason.

[@bige007]

I think I remember you mentioned being double-jointed before, I too, am double-jointed

[@soullessdrake0393]

19:18 That has to be the best Snivy impression ever XD

[@hfdtv4114]

its good to see vintendo becoming a huge channel. just the other day i saw an "offbrand" pokemon tcg game with them using vinnys reaction to opening packs

[@dustykeys2949]

Yo - the effort to correct the final countdown and sing it on tune these last few times has vastly improved my enjoyment of these videos 😂 much respect, well done lads.

[@PokeHomieYT]

Manny is already goated! Glad to see him on the team 👏🏽

[@MannyBardo]

Thanks!!

[@PokeHomieYT]

Anytime, definitely well deserved!

[@robertsiudak8507]

Vinny honestly BIG respect for marking sponsor segment timer for people that want to skip it.

[@plaingray624]

Dude I knew you were getting fit but damn! Good job man, proud of you

[@HiroX24]

12:00 Passimian in one episode of Sun and moon literally had pokedex saying "These pokemons work in a group" while they were playing a mix of basketball and rugby while flying through trees with Ash 😂😂

[@Remnant13]

Glad to see I was able to do work for ya, Rich ^^

[@Scaple1228]

The in sync clap was great. Love that stuff lol

[@taytmw18]

Manny's editing is fantastic

[@MannyBardo]

[@Kitsune986]

Vinny really got Milotic, but he didn't guess any of the other super obvious Pokémon. You're killing me, Smalls

[@zachsnyder347]

Vinny uploaded?! Time to get stoned and laugh my ass off during the whole video 😎

[@grandmastersnorlax6040]

Amen

Just did mate 😮🤙

[@jordanduke1891]

Rich literally the round before giving Vinny a Ludicolo. " I hope he doesn't get a grass or ice type" 🤣🤣

[@aksu8837]

bro had one job and didn't give the imposter ability to amongus

[@corrymuth2997]

I am loving this new starter information screen, it looks sick! And is informative at the same time

[@GenericKarina]

Massive W to Manny for the edits

[@MannyBardo]

[@4289isOK]

Rich being a wrestling fan and going from "I hate wheels" to "I love wheels" is a subtle Johnny Gargano reference. hell yeah

[@Will-Dabeest]

Manny the new editor passes the vibe check! Dude is not only a stellar editor but also funny and rolls with the bits!

[@MannyBardo]

haha thanks soo much!

[@charley8787]

Editing on this video was quality. One of the best, and I was constantly laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[@MannyBardo]

[@ludibroloplays]

The Vinny and Rich duo is easily my favorite then we fight pairing. I chuckled out loud a good few times

[@Thehumblehousehusband9496]

You know what I love about @Vintendo's channel? Everything is so casual. Like, this is more than just a career, this is a passion!! The way the group just feeds off of eachothers energy and makes all these videos hilarious, I always look foward to the next video!! Please keep up the amazing work you guys, you make youtube great

[@Vintendo]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! 😊

[@ryleecobb8648]

I love that Vinny said “Oh, yeah!” With so much confidence it was Tony the Tiger….it’s Kool Aid Man. What he said next was correct 😂

[@lampekartoffel]

1:58 Rich only be calling the Devil, that's why he uses the horns as a phone😂

[@axelblaze4088]

39:05 "just stretch it out chenzo, we still have 2 more battles" Me looking at the video time: "no chenzo...no you dont 😭"

[@WildRabiea]

Idea for the "no speaking" challenge: Each player provides clues about the Pokemon using only sound effects they make with their mouth or body. For example: Water splashing sound for a water type+something more specific like a croak for frog Pokemon. Leaves rustling sound for a grass type. etc. Players must interpret the sounds to choose their Pokemon and show a number with their fingers. When both players have chosen all their starters they can speak and reveal to each other what they have chosen. Players are not allowed to speak while they choose starters and if they accidentally do they get a punishment for the last chosen Pokemon. If you want to have a chance at guessing the starter for perks you can write down the Pokemon you think it is and reveal it after the choose your starter part is over.

[@peterrealar2.067]

You have no idea how HILARIOUS those asides to the editor was. QOTD: Get monetized and make assets for my own video game.

[@SingingMeloettaShorts]

You’d be cooking with the charades episode, now you must do it

[@blackmambax24x]

Vinny has such a talent for guessing the Pokémon correct when the info is given, then completely changing his guess at the end and getting it wrong 😂

[@Shinizaru2]

And to this day, Vinny doesn't know that the Groudon had Water Absorb

[@DaJuzzi420]

Ngl this is my favorite cover image for a video in my history of watching KZbin. From the wheel to the design of Vinny in the image is just perfect. Sorry for the edit. But I'm so glad this comment was seen lmao. I'm surprised nobody else said anything

[@WhiteRice-w2i]

18:58 that wasn’t a bad guess grafaiai is in the field egg group

[@EmilyWade-do8ef]

I always look forward your videos. Thanks for sharing such great work!

[@StaticPika]

Very entertaining video and love all the edits! I found you in the friend group with United Game and also Shady P! Hope you keep creating more dope content! 😄

[@williconcarne]

I can already tell that this video is wheely good

[@Derf61]

die dont actually im sorry

[@Vintendo]

AYYY OHHHHH!!

[@SFWarboss]

In which Vinny faces off against what might be the most STACKED team I have ever seen in a "Then We Fight" video. RNGesus definitely played favorites in this one. 😂

[@reMote_prototype]

4:56 Bro, was really getting to the American spirit 🫡🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇲

[@teemized2883]

I'd just like to say, I really love the ability Filter! I didn't know that it was a Held Item that slowly, but steadily, restored the holder's HP!

[@Knights0fBlood]

"I know you're going for a prankster spore" switches out his dark type that would be immune to the spore.

[@parrettgost]

Rich putting heavy duty boots on a Pokemon he planned on leading is an interesting choice 😂

[@DaGreatKikos]

Manny is in for a ride

[@TheCrow938]

Manny is the goat.

🤩

[@dyal91189]

That's funny that Vinny switched Krookodile so he couldn't get Prankster Spored, when Krookodile wouldn't have been effected because it's a Dark Type

[@BAKEDGAMING0614]

Shout out to Manny idk you as an editor but this was really well done I can't wait to see more of you brother

[@MannyBardo]

Thank you!

[@ryutak777]

[@MrPhinman25]

This might be the new golden duo in the group for me. Rich and Vinny just match each other's freak so well. Constant laughs all video

[@B-B-BrosGaming]

I’m going bald today 😂❤❤❤ w videos

[@ChacoTacoDaddy]

Not sure if you’ve done this idea yet: You let the other person think it’s gonna be whatever kind of picking mode you wanna choose, but right after you both finish setting up your teams, you’ll go back-and-forth picking any Pokémon from either team to create your new teams.

[@deadlydingus1138]

Shoutout to the thumbnail artist for somehow managing to perfectly capture Vinny’s Vinny-ness.

[@danviferahr1426]

Spore doesnt work on a grass type, but prankster fails against dark types.

[@notadaytrader]

14:03 Vinny.. you have fumbled FAR easier guesses.. How tf you get this one right 😂👍🏼

[@HeyItsMayBug]

Vinny spitting out 3 correctly, but not making them his “official” guess…🤣 This video is outta pocket 🤣🤣

[@deathweeper4207]

You have guessed the Pokemon's first move, you have guessed the Pokemon's last move, and now it's time to guess the Pokemon based on its middle move.
