It's OK Machamp, you can be a magical girl in my eyes

[@CerezaDL]

A magical girl bodybuilder would be great

[@crimson1194]

Magical girl ORE, anyone XD

[@pushatjr840]

Oh god I’m already thinking about the design about a machamp magical girl

[@lafolleauxmostisma]

@@crimson1194 that anime is so funny XD

[@borby4584]

Magical Girl Pretty Bell is proof that Machamp is a magical girl

[@mirramirraonthewall]

Twiins getting a pikachu right away feels like a very magical girl thing, like it’s her destiny to be on this team. Only think that would’ve made it even better was if she ran into the group being late for school

[@crimson1194]

Okay but the illustration of the Butterfree in the cavern gave me the idea for like A disgruntled young adult magical girl babysitting a bunch of grade-school magical kids XD

[@flameproductions8360]

"luckily, I know how to put spirits to rest" ... "Beat the shit out of them" This had me dying! oh my god

[@haruhideki]

The way you make a whole adventure out of this is really entertaining. The human version of the designs always feels creative and how they can still express the Pokémon itself and shows their own personality too. Peyonce in their own way feels really endearing. I really like Nina's skin tone and face expression.

[@twiinsiink]

Thank you so much!

[@mistermagius0168]

Ah Gen 1, when Psychic ran supreme and bugs and ghosts were dead awful, good times😚 Also that artwork of Blaine is hilarious, nicely done 🤣

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

Hey, Ghosts weren't that bad Except for the part where they only had Lick... And the only Ghost types were also Poison types so their one weakness (was it 1...? It was either that Ghost was weak to Psychic, or Bug was...) was an inaccessible one... And the singular line of 3 Ghost types... were all special attackers ...Okay yeah it sucked but Gengar was good, okay?

[@astereotypicalgamer1708]

That bit with Twiins and Agatha really felt like she was humoring her grandmother. Now (thanks to Twiins' last outfit) I'm picturing Diantha doing the same with the old ladies in Kalos.

[@caralenalindberg6098]

When the original is one of your comfort videos and then you wake up to THIS glorious follow up

[@ThatGreenMach1ne]

I am so glad that you made sure that your jigglypuff gijinka had a saggy eye. It sparks joy.

[@twiinsiink]

It just wouldn't of been her without it

[@radonstone]

34:03 is hands down my fav visual gag. Really funny and well drawn.

[@haruhideki]

The sprites are surprisingly detailed to me and with how they have the colors. It feels interesting seeing how they look compared to the more updated designs or 3D models.

[@Whosthathufflepuff]

I had such a great time with this! These creative runs are such a joy but the art ELEVATES it to the next level. 👏👏

[@sumthinorother9615]

29:07 This one is interesting. Surf is a higher power move, STAB, and super effective _twice._ Rhydon only has 30 base special to take the hit. Even so, if you plug it into the RBY damage calculator, it only does around 60-70%… It turns out that enemies in RBY don’t have “Stat Experience,” so overall damage is somewhat higher than predicted. (In this case, the “somewhat” is being multiplied by 4.5, so it’s pretty dramatic.) Rhyhorn’s damage is held back by it’s moves. It’s moves are pitifully weak for level 30s (1.5x tackle…), and neither benefit from STAB. An 80 base power ground move would be enough to usually KO. Rock Throw would even guarantee it, though that doesn’t help the type advantage argument as much.

[@doohickeyhandy758]

I remember my first pokemon run was basicslly one of these headcanon story runs, like it was still Pokémon themed but the lore is May is an artificial human replacing the original May (Who IS still alive but fell into a mystery dungeon universe), made using a heavily modified strain of Pokerus based on Deoxys allowing them to understand pokemon. But they're a mute freak able to predict the future through the latent psychic potential of... well, being a walking virus (like Deoxys, really), and so can "try again" after every lost so long as they save a reminder in their journal (Headcanon for how saving works lets goo) , Latios basically watches over this trainer, the cosplay Pikachu literally being the first Pokémon actually effected by this strain (what? Gave them the trainers name), turns out this Norman was once a Johto professor before Birch who was responsible for creating Porygon while on a trip to Kanto, getting the attention of Giovanni for creating something considered a Pokémon, and thus he was involved in the Mewtwo project. This is really just the story built off Hoenn, i actually played OR first, then X&Y to RBY to S&M.

[@twiinsiink]

Thank you so much!

[@AnimeboyIanpower]

30:08 Twiins: So what's the big plan, Koga? Koga: Blow it up. Twiins: Come again? Koga: You heard me. *Blow it up!* Twiins: How is *that* a plan? Koga: Two X-Attacks... Twiins: Uh huh... Koga: ...and Selfdestruct. Twiins: That is the *DUMBEST PLAN I HAVE EVER-* **Weezing used Selfdestruct! Weezing Fainted!** **BOOM!** Koga: I couldn't hear you, because it got *BLOWED UP!*

YES!!!! I was waiting for a sequel and it finally came. Actually I've been wondering similiar run but with witch theme.

[@m1zz613]

i still dont comment a lot but i do love it when you make these kinds of videos! youre a great storyteller so i can actually feel the drama when youre going thru something in the game and the art is always a nice bonus! do you post the magical designs somewhere id like to make fanart of them (if thats cool) i dont use twitter all that much but i do post on insta and tumblr (other places too but those are my mains).

[@twiinsiink]

Thank you! I'll be posting images of the kids to my patreon in a day or two :)

[@m1zz613]

@@twiinsiink i see thanks!!

[@WhatRyansReading]

I absolutely adored this, thank you. I think it's generally agreed by most people the OG Red/Blue/Green are glitchy messes. Also, if anyone else was like me, we didn't worry about grinding because we all just used the MissingNo Glitch to get infinite rare candies (ditto catching and Masterballs).

[@MorningStar012]

now i wanna do one of these too, damn it! the video is great and the designs are wonderful, a banger through and through

[@CakeoftheMews]

I love this whole general concept you do!! Makes me wanna do my own magical girl run~

[@PanzerIVAE]

I was waiting for the longest time for a sequel of this!

[@angeleyes2007]

Magical Girl fan here! This video was really fun to watch!! The way you chose the Pokémon and your journey was just amazing! Great job!!

[@sissysovereign1294]

Aww I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has a Magical Girl trainer! Her name is Rosie Bell and her Partner is Sylveon. I like to use love balls and lots of pink for her to add to her aesthetic

[@sushigivesmelife2131]

I was gonna draw while watching this video but I was so distracted by the video that I hardly put pencil to paper! It felt like I was exhausted on the journey with you! I really felt each and every time you beat a Gym Leader! Pokémon Red looks really tough to be honest - I couldn't believe that after all that grinding and fighting NPCs that you would have been at least level 50 but you were like 20 levels behind Blue at the end? That's insane to me! I mean, I guess I would call that "bad game design", but I haven't played it so I don't really know. Anyways, I absolutely had a blast! I love how you just drew yourself a trainer design since the game wouldn't let you pick a girl avatar! I felt that your unique design added a lot - I would do it in the future if I were you! I am also a huge Bulbasaur fan so I was thrilled that you chose him ♥️

[@twiinsiink]

Thank you so much! I'm sorry you weren't able to get your art done, but I'm glad the video was entertaining enough to keep you distracted, lol!

[@abbycollins4820]

Well Worth The Wait!!!

[@geldbeutel506]

Really enjoyed this getting a second part althought I would have prefered something like X/Y over one of the originas. Watched the first one at least 10 times while breeding on my old Nintendo 3ds and since my little brother startet his journey recently as well I made him a perfect iv/ev pokemon with right nature and ability and I needed something relaxing in the background. The timing of me finding this was straight up perfect.

[@flyingfist4203]

This was such a good video! All that hard work turned out great.

[@MordredPendragon7997]

Awesome! I really enjoyed it. I absolutely loved the first one you did last year, and I was hoping you would do another Magical Girl themed run of a Pokemon game, so I was ecstatic when I saw that you had posted this video.

[@Sencilia]

I loved your original Magical Girl video and this one was just as fun, and even more creative. Maybe you can do gen 2 through to 9 as a magical girl. Oh, maybe Mystery Dungeon too?

[@Radiowave-ws7hr]

Ah gen 1. A game held together by thoughts and prayers

[@exaltedfalcheon1793]

The Mystic Pallet-gicians (That's what I'd call them anyway)

[@jemany]

My favorite part of the whole thing is all the grinding. Remember grinding makes dreams shatter. Anyways I love all the little sprites mixed in to the video. This was a fun watch, Happy Magical Girl May everybody.

[@PaytonPaw124]

I feel bad that I miss this but yeah it's surprising how much has changed and technically has evolved from the series not to mention imagine how hard it used to be but yet you pulled out in the end that's mention your choices are really interesting

[@jasperparris9144]

This was my fave the first time and it's so interesting to go back to Red. This seemed difficult. PS love your drawings for the Pokemon!🤟🏾

[@fedejesus2648]

Does anybody know if anyone else has done similar runs? Ever since twiins introduced this concept I have been obsessed and craving similar stuff

[@jamescampbell6728]

Gen 1 sprites were so cursed lol

[@MilannesaNapolitana]

I'd take machamp honestlyyyyyy they would have a giant hammer with a star as their weapon. The special attack is like moon spiral heart attack, Machamps make their hammer big as a star and smash their foes, with inmense collateral damage (leaves a massive star shaped crater) it's only used in critical situations *I just made a whole character xd brb gotta make a ref sheet*

[@johnseymore4774]

In case anybody hasn’t said it yet, I highly suggest a Moemon Rom hack so you can live out your true Magical Trainer dreams. Mega Fire Red is the best, with Pokémon up to Gen 5, but it does have a surprisingly tough difficulty spike at the end of the game.

[@twiinsiink]

I had mentioned moemon the last time I did a Magical Girl adventure. And while I think the sprite work is impressive and creative, the point really is to change the type of pokemon I use from my normal playthroughs. And I like getting to design the Magical Pokemon Kids myself :)

[@kopfloserbeginn3879]

Plot twists: it turned into mystery dungeon jk

[@iZ-the-Egoni]

Tbf, the whole "gotta catch 'em all" only become a thing when the Pocket Monsters franchise later got localised and dubbed as Pokémon along with all the western-style merchandising that went into it

Amazing Video! Can't wait for the inevitable ranking of the Unovan gym leaders & Elite 4. Also, moves like Night Shade and Seismic Toss do damage depending on the level of the mon using the move. A niche idea would be looking at Doll restyles by collectors & looking at them through a character designer lens
