Can You Beat Pokemon Shield as Gordie?

I played through Pokemon Shield as Gordie to find out! Why shield? Because that's where you can find a Larvitar. What do you think about Gordie?

Although we didn't get a lot into their relationships in game the manga really fleshes out what happened between Gordie and his mum. Melony tends to take "mother knows best" to the extreme and force others into doing what she thinks they would want without any regards to their will and feelings. We learn this when melony tells how she found a mr. Rime performing to a small crowd of Eiscue and decided it would be happiwr performing in a big stage, so she battles to capture but brakes its cane on the process, mr. Rime just endes up hating her. She asks Soudo to fix the cane in hopes Mr. Rime forgives her, but it isn't enough Quotes: "I've got this tendency to assume what makes me happy makes others happy too, I get carried away", "I thought that if I could fix my relationship with mr. rime, maybe I'd have the confidence to fix other things I've ruined"

[@Chara_Dreemurr1]

And do you know who the president of gordies fan club is? It's his mother.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Wow, it's a hard _rock_ life for Gordie! His relationship with his mom is like two tectonic plates...there's too much _friction_ between them. He was lucky to have you for _assi-stones._ He got off to a _rocky_ start with Nessa but I'm glad he was able to keep his _coal._ He reminded himself that was all _ore_ nothing, pulled through, powered by motivating _rock and roll_ music, handling anything at the bar _on the rocks_ , and won it all. He went from _rock bottom_ to the top! He and his Coalossal _lava_ each other, and their hope shined through like gems, mining the competition like nothing. He's finally the _rock star_ he always knew he could be. What? You didn’t think these were good puns? Of _quartz_ they were!

This video absolutely rocked. The typical loss to Nessa was quickly brushed aside, In addition to the move flash cards there are now animated stat charts for the 'mons in use, and there was a nice self contained (if somewhat short) story for Gordie. The little Carbinc stealth rock fights and Mr Barry's voice were nice touches, too. Pretty much everything about this series has come a long way from when it started, and it has been wonderful to see. Keep up the good work, Mr. Games 👍

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Ah I love that Galar Gym battle music. That second part of the song where the crowd gets hyped with the Gigantamax always gets me hyped, pure adrenaline and dopamine rush. The entire budget of Sword/Shield really DID go to that theme. Everything about the gyms in this region was perfect. A mix of puzzles/tests, the music, the leaders and their personalities. Pokémon has had their misses, but one thing is for sure, their characters are really fun and the themes they compose are masterpieces from Driftveil City to the Hoenn Elite Four and Lumiose City.

Actually it's called:kabu,bea,gordie,chairman rose,and charizard along with fire also scrafty and they are all strong against ice and in turn melony

Randomly stumbled across this video and as a HUGE Gordie fan I totally loved every second of it! I absolutely adore the dialogue portions you've built in and the art looks so incredible too, brilliant job! And Gordie will always be champion in my heart~

[@crimsonumbreon4475]

To me. The most emotional roller coaster if a Can X Become Champion video

I absolutely LOVE this series like its so entertaining because its not just a video of the gym battles, there's actually lore and its soooo underrated, continue the good work :D

[@starpower1598]

Gordie!!!!!!! He CAN become champion! Great video, this was a calm, warm video! My man stays winning, haha.

[@Calmeg658]

Spoilers some people like to read comments while watching the video

[@calyx8808]

I absolutely love the rock-skipping analogy! I'm not sure if it's the incorrect one, but I love it when people pronounce it SILLYcobra. It's so funny to me! Your use of Hop's semifinals theme near the end prompted me to go listen to (and cry at) Juno Songs' cover of it.

[@sammy_slammy]

Wait, how are you *supposed* to pronounce it?

[@calyx8808]

@@sammy_slammy Silla-cobra, you say it like silicon. I THINK.

[@ZexalDSJAsh]

Now that is definitely something I like here. You add in character interactions to give these NPCs more depth, and you make them more lovable. Well, to an extent, but still. Really well done, and I loved seeing how you managed to get through this challenge. I cant wait to see what else you will come up with. ^^

[@thegayghost872]

I picked Pokemon Shield but Gordie is one of my favorite gym leaders, I think he's really cute and he needs more attention from the fandom

Awesome video man, love the acting and editing. Superb video.

[@shadowmarauder6033]

Love that this story is more grounded compared to others, and an interesting detail that Vasco seems a bit more detached yet also connected than before. He's already seen so many trainer's issues and somewhat realizes what they are having problems with so it makes sense he would both need less information on their pasts, helps them overcome it better and isn't as active in fights.

Cool video! I’m glad KZbin recommended your content to me because I’ve been busy watching your other videos lately. Also I shared your video with a friend of mine and he told me that you and him actually already know each other 😂 Mr. Rhydon says hello 🙂

Yea LOL, me and vasko definitely know each other. I pulled my classic Rhydon line during one of his kamado live stream too 😎

@@CaptainRhydon I had a feeling you used that line when I heard that voice line from Charm’s Rhydon... let me guess, that was actually voiced by you?

@@TheAngryChickenMan yep! That Rhydon was indeed voiced by me 😎

@@CaptainRhydon thought so, sounded very much like you. Also looking back in the video, I noticed that your name actually appears in the chat during the Volo fight where Kamado gets destroyed by an egg (which was very hilarious btw 😂)

[@WarmLillie]

Can Gordie be the Diamond in the rough or will he forever Bea doomed forgotten to the sand of time? Type advantage is important, sadly is easy to crumble. But as a geologist if you know how to crack a geo, you are rewarded with some beautiful gems. When battling sometimes you need to just face your problems head on being study. Rock On!!! That what my multiverse mentor who taught me a few thing. As a hero once said… “I smile to show the pressure of heroes and to trick the fear inside of me.” -------------------- Lillie journal: “Mysteriously, Since taking Bea *page is stained* with the aid of some tea I can change my appearance to my regular Lillie self. Hope my actions have no consequences.” “Melony is nice tips to me for some of my pokemon…” “I don’t know why but I have the feeling to kick someone butt for puns with a Dreanaw.” “Maybe I should take note of Gordie tatic and what a witch taught me, to hides in my smile, but have victory shines in my eyes.”
