Only reveal the names but you pick randomly would be brutal, imagine there's a broken one but you don't know where is it lol

[@pigaster5649]

I realized that the question was "Can you please give me the names of each Pokemon?", the question is not "What are the names of each Pokemon?". This means that he could have answered with "Yes, I could, but I won't" while speaking truthfully and simply not have said the names.

[@TheCompanyRepresentative]

"Can you tell me the names of all the pokemon in front of you?" Me:"yes" "So what are they?" Me: "you didn't ask what their names are, you just asked if I can tell you"

It's 2024, stop saying "shouldn't of" and learn how to speak correctly.

It doesn’t really matter though, since Luke just has to say which one he wants. Knowing where they is redundant if you know the name of each one at that point.

[@Doomzdeh]

Luke legit could’ve shown the feet in the last round in any order that he wanted. The question was simply to show each starter’s feet, not to do it in order. Similarly, that Galarian Slowking didn’t have to be specified. The question was about the name of each Pokémon, and the name of Galarian Slowking is just “Slowking”.

[@ayeshavfawkes]

Wartortle is on the cover of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon riding Charizard's back, so Rich was right either way with Wartortle/Blastoise being on a game cover

[@WhisperNuggetz]

In Rich's defense, he did get an ice type right before that fire type, so yeah, I think Charizard over a genie is a good choice.

[@Eclipsed6s]

That was so good! I love how it allows each creator to be so, well, creative with the question asks. And I actually really enjoyed you guys being able to ask the really OP questions like what their names were. It was super fun to watch.

[@jordanvalencia6037]

I feel like you need to add a rule called the Genie clause to this, where you answer their questions truthfully, but in whatever context you decide. For example, when asked what their names are, you up and name them on the spot.

Something cool to consider for the future if the box art question is ever asked again is that the Hisui starter base forms, Pikachu, Staraptor, Lucario, Bidoof, Rhyhorn, and Ralts are all featured on the cover of Legends Arceus (you can't see Ralts on the box itself but it is on the Switch icon, it's on Rhyhorn's back)

5:18 took a drink, got confused and nearly did a spit take then realized Luke was doing the exact same thing as me. Why you copying me mate

[@Chilliconkanye]

Hey Luke. I have a then we fight idea. It's similar to catching mons to spell a word that you're given. However, you have to spell any 6 letter word you can think of by choosing your starters. You're given just the first letter of each starter, as your choosing your starters, you're trying to spell any word you can. If you are given letters you can't use, you have to skip and your opponent is given the chance to picker a starter in order to spell their word. First person to spell a word gets a neat little bonus like choosing any ability for one of their pokemon or something. And then you battle. For example, you're given the letters C - L - B, you choose C. The. Your next lot of Starters Are A - B - C, you can't really use B or C to spell a word beginning with C, so you choose A. You keep going, and your letters so far are C-A-R-R, but then you get to starters that are Q-X-R you can't use those, so your opponent gets the chance to take a pokemon, and they get an advantage cause they know what the pokemon are, but they can also choose to skip if they can't use a letter. You keep going till you have your word/team.

If you ever do this kind if vid again a few ideas for questions could be Asking for the typings of the pokemon on screen Asking for their abilities Asking what their highest base stat is Asking what the first letter is Asking if any have a regional variant Asking the generation each came out in Theres obviously more and probably better questions but these are just ones i thought of, hope it helps out in a future vid, i love your stuff ❤

Absolutely loved this format, Luke! Please bring this one back.

[@RetroPanda13]

If I was extremely nitpicky, I'd say Croagunk is part of a trio. The Team Galaxy admin Trio that level of nitpicky, Mars' ace was Purugly, Jupiter's ace was Skuntank and Saturn's ace was Toxicroak. Such a weird trio of ace and I kinda like it

[@LagrimaArdiente]

Speaking as someone who has had both Urshifu forms on my party at the same time and have seen them in resting mode, they both look the same in resting mode. They only take on their type's stance in battle. The same thing happens with the party sprites, which is something at least one person took advantage of in the VGC space (they brought an Urshifu with a rain team where all other mon were Water types, giving the impression of being Rapid Strike, but it was actually a Single Strike).

[@Gsimon25]

To balance out the concept you could brainstorm a set of 6 questions each that you’re allowed to ask with the same concept of once you ask a question you can’t ask again. This avoids the many questions such as “what are the names of all my options” “can you take a picture of all my options” etc. Some examples could be 1. Is there a legendary on screen and what is its location 2. What is the highest base stat total of the pokemon on screen taking into account their evolutions 3. Which option sould be the toughest for your team to fight against (these are just a few questions I thought of to show how each question would be niche and not correlated to the others, preventing asking the same question in different ways)

[@andrewdivino08]

Questions to ban : “Can you give me the names of the starters?” “Can you show me the starters?” And probably more

[@justsomepotato8371]

agreed, I feel like they can ask who ONE of the starters is but not all of them

[@spencerdunn866]

Fun fact. Frostlass is based on the yuki-onna (i think) a female frost spirit that freezes people to death. Much like what frostlass does when she finds someone she likes she freezes them and stores them in her cave.

[@neon-graves]

This is a great concept, I think we need more of these! I don’t know if it was because of you and Rich being hilarious or the fact it’s all the then we fight ideas combined but it was a great one for sure

Supposedly the direction the floaty parts of Urshifu's headband visually differentiate which form it is. Rapid strikes they float back and the tips float upward, on single strike the tips face downward. Even knowing that difference, it's pretty subtle

Ritchie you gotta start trying to make some predictions and/or think ahead of the battle and what's gonna happen next. You always go to what seems the best/safest option at that specific time and a LOT of times it costs you the entire battle.

[@StealthMoustache]

I just realize, when he asked for the names, you didn't have to go in order, you could have said any order but no location, so that question wasn't as broken as you maybe thought, unless hes a stickler for going left to right.

I cracked up so much when Luke went to get a closer look at Urshifu and the character just bends down and stares at its crotch, then literally choked on my oatmeal when he talked to it and it ZOOMED IN! LMFAOOOOOOO DEAD.

Y'know, my man Rich, based on competitive Pokemon(VGC), I think Thundurus Incarnate is a little bit better than Charizard(since he got Prankster, is a little bit faster and can set up Tailwind); but if it's based on nostalgia, I think Charizard win(since y'know, Charizard is one of the most famous Pokemon of all time...)

If possible, you should do every starter has multiple forms, 2 truths 1 lie, and you must change its form. Say if there's a Landorus Therian on your opponent's screen, you have to bring Incarnate to the battle.

A unique question that could've been asked might be "what ability would you give the pokemon in front of you (excluding wonder guard, huge power, pure power, and beast boost)...

Left.) but for questions about all the Pokémon you *don’t have to answer in order / reveal location* (E.g. What are the BSTs of each Pokémon? A: -not necessarily in order- 530, 500, 480.)

[@muzgi]

6:11 should have told him the pokemon names without the order. 😂
