The academy stoyline where you talk to Arven throughout until his dorm is something that can do prior the DLC. Penny & Nemona also have stories too that allow you into their rooms and insight into their characters. They only available after beating the Ace Academy Tournament the first time. Though there is a extra coversation if you talk to Arven again with regarding the white or new Scarlet Book. Speaking of Ace Academy Tournament it updates with higher levels and new pokemon after beating both parts of the main DLC story. The DLC also adds a new Team Star storyline if you finish all the classes now.

[@gengarzilla1685]

The Team Star thing also requires that you finish Penny's wrap-up story as well, because it's somewhat of a continuation.

So because I was spoiled that a cutscene with the professor would happen, though I didn’t know how, I first tried revisiting the Area 0 Lab and Underdepths. And what I found is that if you read the notes on the desk in the Underdepths, there’s an additional Journal Entry we didn’t get from the story cutscene, where the professor talks about being transported to a sulfur lake in the eastern lands they read about and a boy/girl hands them a white tome. That clued me into going back to the Crystal Lake and I’m glad to have discovered this cutscene this way.

[@blazebardgames5939]

​@@pokejedi5184Good idea, but the timing of that doesn't really work out. From Sada's perspective (or Turo's in Violet), the encounter happens when she doesn't yet know Koraidon's name, she hasn't yet created the AI, and she's still working on the time machine. Arven would've been an infant at the time. According to the Professor's notes that we find in the main story finale, they got the time machine to work and brought in Koraidon not long after Arven was born. My theory is that Sada and Turo were working together to research Area Zero, but after that initial success, Sada would've wanted to put the brakes on their research in order to focus on their family because the Crystal Pool encounter made her realize they couldn't just neglect their son. But Turo, who hadn't experienced that encounter, couldn't understand why Sada suddenly wanted to give up on her lifelong dream. So he stole the Indigo Disc, ran off, and gave the Disc to one of their research investors, thinking that he was "protecting" Sada from Terapagos' influence by sealing off the Underdepths. Sada, on the other hand, didn't know what Turo's motivations were, and she thought he had betrayed her and stolen the Indigo Disc in order to sell it. She threw herself into her research in order to keep her mind off her broken heart, and she could no longer be around her son without being reminded of his father, which was painful for her. But she still tried to give Arven some care as he grew older, getting him a Maschiff for companionship and protection. Eventually she sent him to Naranja Academy, partially so she wouldn't have to see him and be reminded of his father anymore, and partially to get him away from the increasingly dangerous Pokémon that the Time Machine was bringing in. (And of course Sada and Turo's roles in all this would be reversed in Violet.) But hey, that's just a theory... A GAME THEORY! And also there may be relevant information in the currenly unreleased epilogue that I don't know about yet.

[@Xaychedelic]

I know Michael did the post-story arc for Arven a bit late but I think it times so well after seeing Sada from the Crystal pool. It makes Arven's motivations all the more bitter sweet.

@@hisuianchar1548 They're named paradoxes, because they are a result of a boot strap paradox. Nothing implies that they aren't supposed to exist in our timeline. And if we're going to talk about the Beasts, the Pokemon fanbase had came up with this headcanon that they are one of a kind, and that the ones Ho-oH resurrected are the only ones. That is simply false, and nothing lore wise actually implies that. In fact, one of Entei's Pokedex entries implies the complete opposite. The Pokemon Silver entry for Entei, claims that a new one is born every time a new volcano appears. The fact that they can be born, means that they absolutely can have ancient ancestors.

Terapagos is the exception because Terapagos is cracked and banned from SVOU within a day or 2. Look at how tera blast works with Stellar type and contrary. (Then look at SVOU viability.)

[@SmartAlec86]

If the book in Scarlet is white, I think it would be a good nod to how BB Academy being in Unova if in Violet, the book is black. It would also be a hint to Gen 5 remakes too. Both Professors are missing from both Scarlet and Violet. But only one is mentioned per game to have gone missing. What if this Professor Sada isn't the one that went back in time, but the Professor Sada from Violet? That Scarlet Book stuff was there before the DLC. It's post game stuff from the main game. Although if my theory about that Sada being the Sada from Violet, that could explain why there's no Scarlet Book in Violet, and why there's no Violet Book in Scarlet. That means that in both versions, Sada had the Scarlet Book and Turo had the Violet Book.

[@ShadowFox1412]

Unfortunately in violet the book you get from briar is also white. Also in the underdepths it mentions the white volume you give sada and turo before you even do it which is how you know to go to the crystal pools. So it’s the same sada and turo that die and all we’ve done is create a loop

The new Tera type is kinda good for those with the contrary (that ability that changes positive stat changes to negative changes and vice versa) ability since Tera Blast lowers your offensive stats when used, not sure if it's by 1 or 2 stages.

​@@jonathangoodwin5609 Stellar type Tera Blast lowers your atk and sp. Atk stat by one stage, according to Bulbapedia

[@bfeldz1023]

​@@AnAnnoyedAssZorua570Serperior is outright better just sticking with tera grass. Consistent 50% boost to Leaf Storm damage does much better over the course of a match than Stellar tera does.

I had a literal visceral reaction to Snacksworth and his face.

If you'd moved your camera around during the fight, Raging Bolt does reveal his fight during attack animations.

[@noirhelios]

Confirmed that the Arven stuff is unlocked before getting the DLC

[@miikaroos3809]

A lot of stuff at the school is unlocked after the main story. Too bad Mikey never seemed to either notice or care.

[@AnthonyHologounis96]

Can’t wait to catch the paradoxes almost done with the dex

The Stellar Tera Type is LEGITIMATELY the Gen 5 Gems as a free gimmick. 😂

Terapagos out here doing time travel shenanigans. Dialga: "Wait.. thats illegal"

i love watching your videos cuz i dont have enough to play this amazing DLC, keep up the good work!❤

The Lore of Paradox Pokemon has been REVEALED! From Toby bird keeper says that they are from different pokemon earths one were the past Pokemon are savage and the future Pokemon are like robots

He is not a representative of Game Freak. This is not confirmation, just another theory to throw on the pile.

[@DryBones271]

The Dragon Hammer thing is outdated. It was added because of Alolan Exeggutor (previously it wasn't available for use)

[@theyellowferret5125]

Gouging Fire could have looked a lot worse, but old Entei is just perfect and impossible to improve. 😢

[@bradleydenny3116]

I'm surprised that he didn't transfer the starters in

[@miikaroos3809]

I know, right? That's what I did. Screw updating the biomes!

[@KNinetales]

I did both. That was because I wanted to shiny hunt them in the wild but wanted to complete the pokedex early.

[@Godzillafanproductions]

@@KNinetalesI did both too

[@rpgrage7711]

I just completed the main story so I'm going to binge watch all of the episodes I missed while I'll do post story stuff

[@bigjalapeno7061]

The DLC is fun. I'm liking it so far and I haven't really done much story stuff

[@Grim-Owl]

The Steller types seems pretty good Essentially If you use Earthquake Close combat And earthquake Those will get boosted You just can’t do earthquake twice in a row

[@DryBones271]

There's a cute thing you can do with Team Starr too, you'll find Eri and Giacomo talking in the lobby, and they'll say how Ortega, Atticus and Mela aren't doing that well with their studies.

[@Jayuro_Okami]

3rd part of DLC when?

[@cooperh896]

The starters are actually 30% of the dex. He forgot to include the evolutions. 3 starter choices * 8 generations * 3 evolutions in the line = 72 pokemon.

[@bigjalapeno7061]

That's a lot

[@gengarzilla1685]

It's still just 24 to catch, since they're way above the required level to fully evolve.

[@prince_nocturne]

Man, didn't even realize this channel was a thing until it popped up on your other vids. Glad it did. This series was fun. Since I don't plan on getting ScarVio or the DLCs, it was fun to watch a playthrough of it. Look forward to whatever else you do next. Do hope TEAM SKY~ (falcon cry) can go through sometime soon, too. Would be very interesting to see.

[@sharingheart13]

Tentacruel was the first (and only) shiny I ever found. That was back in Sapphire.

[@kirbster5810]

you can also get meloetta in the dlc, but you should look it up if you want to get it.. it has such a complicated set of steps to get it...

[@gengarzilla1685]

Regigigas in ORAS was worse, honestly. They really didn't want you to find it. I mean, requiring Regice to have a nickname? Who's gonnna figure _that_ one by themselves?

[@GayGoblin20]

I like how Mikey doesnt remember the conversation with Arven and Clavell, so he rereads it... We've already had this conversation back when Mikey FIRST started the Scarlet series. Which means, we're in the past...

[@sciyama7130]

Stellar tera type is honestly pretty great for raids it gives much more flexibility when building pokemon for raids

[@gengarzilla1685]

Yeah, I hated that my only option for Flying Teras was this Ice Tera Mamoswine. Now I've also got Baxcalibur and Hisui Arcanine.

[@Oscarus4250]

Stellar Tera is also great for Ditto (getting boosts for every offensive move and it makes Tera less dependant on the opponent's Pokemon), offensive AVs with already good typing like Archaludon (additional power boosts) or Pokemon with Contrary (so they can get advantage of Tera Blast drops/boosts). I know that Stellar Tera Blast dropping both Attacks suck, but look: with Stellar Tera, its' BP grows to 100, but actually 150 because of STAB, deals supereffective damage to other Tera Pokemon and typeless damage to anyone, AND any Pokemon but six (Magikarp, untransformed Ditto, Smeargle, Cosmog, Cosmoem and Terapagos) can learn it. Without that drops, it could overcentralize the meta.

[@davideostudio2664]

There’s something you can do about having to tutor Team Star and you get new outfits afterwards if you do a good job

[@Sawa-Kyo]

One cool thing about the Terapagos secret event: Sada mentions that she might go home and spend time reading. So what if, in her original timeline, she heads home to read and spend time with Arven, so she never dies?

[@Sawa-Kyo]

I know there’s that entry in the Underdepths about Sada getting a “white volume” and being transported somewhere different… but still

[@bigjalapeno7061]

That would be cool

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

We know its not a separate timeline because, as the video shows, the books under area zero change to mention her meeting us. Which can only be there if it was her in this timeline. So, no. Sadly, that's physically impossible.

[@EightViolett]

@@jonathangoodwin5609 It doesn't 'change'. It's perfectly possible to read that same entry when you're first down there, before you even get Briar's book. Which is how you would know to go to the Crystal Lake with the book. (Though I wonder how you're supposed to know that you should bring Terapagos...)

[@CarlosSaulRodriguezA]

cause "it is said those cristals can connect with the souls of those long gone" or something like that (i play the game in a dif language, so minor changes here or there) and also that "they seem to have the same type of energy than those in area zero"... so Terapagos, the cause of that energy in area zero, seems a bit the answer... a bit hidden but still not really farfetched. At minimun, with the big emphasis in taking pictures, and how the place is a nice one to make a "matching pic" with the new mythical mon, is very likely that even kids w no idea could eventually find it out... dunno...@@EightViolett

[@OwenGianelloni-us9tr]

There needs to be paradox fossil pokemon that are just the original unaltered pokemon from the past

[@MarcusMapua]

Well if we wanna be broad in detail, it is said in game lore that Gouging Fire is "an ancestor of Entei revived from a fossil"

[@WooperBoi2013]

[@justsomerandomdudeontheint9859]

Be prepared Micheal… Not everything in Kitakami is going peachy 👀 Also, Terapagos may want to visit the crystal pool 👀

[@justsomerandomdudeontheint9859]

Oh crap you did the crystal pool thing oops

[@Moon-expresss]

There was around 4 scarlet books all over the main hall and they have been there since the beginning of the game

[@bathilra5364]

I loved the team star cutscene and you can get a lot of bp with friends in union circles

[@AloanVulpix]

People say that WE as the players are putting the plot for violet/scarlet into motion by giving the professors Briar's book in exchange and I also do like the title screen after that cut scene with the original book will be on the dusk at sunset so to sum it all up YOU give her the idea for the time machine
