Can You Beat Pokemon Shield With ONLY Grookey?
Pokemon Sword and Shield released 5 years ago, and to celebrate I revisited these games to answer one simple question: Can you beat Pokemon Shield with only Grookey? It may have taken some morally ambiguous strategy at times, but this journey with one of my all time favorite starter pokemon was an absolute blast. If you love memes, monkeys, and pokemon like I do, this is the video for you. Thanks for watching!

The Problem with Pokemon's Villains
Переглядів 1,5 тис.Місяць тому
Pokemon Villains have always been a little lackluster in terms of character development, so this video is a deep dive into each evil team, why some are better and more nuanced than others, and how some just repeat the exact same story as old ones. Since the evil team is always tied closely to the game's story, and since the villains are so repetitive, that's why a lot of Pokemon game's stories ...
Pokemon Emerald But Everything Is Shiny
Переглядів 2,4 тис.2 місяці тому
Pokemon Emerald is my favorite and easily one of the best Pokemon games ever. Shiny Pokemon are a community favorite phenomenon. So, why not combine the two? In this Nuzlocke of Pokemon Emerald, everything on the screen is shiny. Maybe it takes away from the rarity of shiny pokemon making them special, but hey, doesn't everyone just love seeing Pokemon on screen no matter the context? I know I ...

Ranking EVERY Starter Pokemon in a Tier List
I think from gen 6(besides frokie) onward the starter pokemon have been drastically going down quality wise. I think they're leaning too much into gimmicks/characters. I miss when it was animals mixed with a gimmick(gen 4 and 5) or just an animal that's pokemonified(gen 1, 2, and 3). The only 2 starters that actually look like pokemon since gen 6 are frokie and fuecoco.
The real reason why Charizard is not dragon is game balancing. It wouldn’t be weak to Blastoise’s water moves.
9:35 not cohesive enough? Who tf doesnt get the bird ontop? Genuinely that’s your gripe on its design? Anyone who takes 3 seconds to watch nat geo, open their eyes to the world or touch grass can see its idea is taken from nature. Birds are known for cleaning the teeth of bigger animals. Go back to school if that isn’t obvious.
THE OBVIOUSLY A CROCODILE AND BIRD IN REAL WORLD IT IS SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP
What game are you playing at 3:15?
Its pokemon scarlet DLC
Your opinion sucks
btw, torterra's inspirations pulling from the world turtle is referenced in the detective pikachu movie :)
I think most people don't understand that ninjas are unironically apart of the same fantasy ninjas show up in the same fantasy settings even if rare and often as a mob enemy
it would be farmed and traffiked for its cottom wings
Skeledirge's bird actually seemed like a pretty clear allusion to depictions of the Egyptian plover to me. And I think it's pretty cute how it hatches from crocalor's sombrero-fire-egg. Plus, birds are, like, the first animal that comes to mind when you think of singing, and it turns into a microphone when skeledirge uses torch song, so it makes sense on that front too. It might be neat if a new design philosophy is come up with for starters, I somehow suspect straight elemental animals might be unlikely to return due to worries it may come off as boring, but doing something besides incorporating human roles would probably be a good idea to make the concept fresh again.
I love my meowscarada
idk bout y’all but what’s going on there’s always other Pokémon to catch other than the starters.
I can say as someone who only managed to finish his BDSP Nuzlocke postgame because of X-items, the game really does change once you start using them.
I’m convinced you could beat any challenge by using X items lol
Monke
Green Monke
Why not just enjoy what's going on and stop comparing how it was before with how it's going on.
Kieran is the best champion in the franchise and his battle would be harder had he started with Grimsnarl
They shit now 😢
They started to look too human that's the reason i left watching pokemon. The reason why Mew too stand out in gen 1 was it was too close to human with superpower than a pokemon
These aren't records and u basically are just repeating the same thing 4 times
always a spot for my team.
I love the new grass cat
My favorite Pokémon - Cloud birb dragon 🐉 ☁️
All of the new starters share the carnival theme, and the games are set on the region of Portugal and Spain, carnaval is part of the culture, they are performers, skeledirge is a singer clown, meowscarada a mascarade magician and quaquavel a samba/capoeira dancer Crocodiles are part of a lot Spanish stories a god choice for the starter has is an Iberian Linx for obvious reasons, a duck/peacock is the least inspired I would say but not out of place Idk what ur on about with the “uninspired, complicated but not enough” There is so much culture on this starters and just cuz you don’t get it is a bad thing
Gen 1 - 9/10 really good and simple, and have the best starter ever charmander. Gen 2 - 1/10 terrible, except Feraligatr looks cool. Gen 3 - 10/10 perfect; every single one of them. Gen 4 - 6/10 mid, infernape goated torterra generic, empeleon had a good idea (Napoleon amazing) but the execution is terrible, design is horrible. Gen 5 - 0/10 all bad, snivy is kinda cool. But samurot was supposed to be a samurai but he doesn’t look like one. Pig looks goofy Gen 6 - 7/10 Greninja carries hard. Gen 7 - 8/10 very decent. Incineroar has the most basic design. We’ve literally 2 other biped fire starters who know how to punch. But the other 2 are really great. Gen 8 - 4/10 I really like Rillaboom, his design is brutal, he looks op. Honestly don’t like cinderace. His design is simple but his role is so specific, that combination is just bad. Gen 9 - 7/10 honestly love them. And they have the best first stage in all generations, look really cute. Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly are the best. But unfortunately their final evolutions are not that good. Except for Skeledirge, who’s a ghost colorful singer, the other 2 have disappointing evolutions. Meowscarada is not that bad but Quacaval is such a let down. Specially because Quaxly is my favorite looking first stage starter.
Honestly you didn’t research enough on gen 8. They’re supposed to represent British entertainment. Football (Beckham), Action movies (James Bond) and music.
I hope next pokemon games the game studio would make a new evil organization instead a group of gangs bullies
Chokorita is still my favorite pokemon ever 💚
Why does everyone call BulbaSAUR a frog?? It's very clearly a DINOSAUR... The first starters are a Dino, a Dragon and a Kaiju
For me totodile is the best designed unevolved starter. I can see why the animaters did not want to evolve it.
Chestnut is a porcupine
My fave mega of all time
Gen 6 was the last good starter gen, im Spanish and we got done dirty by gen 9, could’ve done a bear starter, sprigatito could’ve turned into a Lynx or a lion, and how did they waste the idea of having a bull starter in a region based around the Iberian peninsula
Quaquaval was so bad the moment i got him i released it....... Even though the typing looked fun the whole design and the way it moves during a battle is terrible......
No way bro used a signature move on a level 19 pokemon😢
Gen 1, 3 & 4 have the best starters till date
You can really tell which starters are new and which starters isn't - I'm cutting the line between Gen 4 and Gen 5, though I still think Gen 4 starters is already characterized
tho this day i have no idea what kind of drugs GF was on when they made Decidueye stats, he should have gotten stats similar to mewoscarada, instead they are all over the place, like someone just randomized them
oshawott my favorite pokemon but dont disrespect my boy snivy ever again
Most starters these days would work better as legendaries
How are you criticizing gen 2 for being too simple? Gen 1 is literally the most. Squirted is literally just a regular turtle design other than the cannons. And charizard and is also a pretty generic winged reptile design. Typhlosion with its flame collar is about as much special design as regular charizard. Flower around meganiums neck and leaf on top isn’t any more simpler than venusaur with the tree as plants parts on grass types is pretty common. Blastoise is only one unique with the cannons compared to feralligator and feralligator certainly looks like it already has a personality. Plus design certainly stands out among other alligator/crocodile/lizard mons.
Like pokemon cat and dog
I noticed that with the release of gen 9 when I thought the new starters didnt fit well as pokemon at all
the way i saw it, kanto/jhoto south/north korea. the starters are essentiallly lizards except for quilava who similar to hoen (hoen being japan) who torchic alao a furry lizard
Its not magician for paldea its dancer singer and actor
It doesn't matter for anything
This is all just subjective opinion. “Feraligatr is plain, it’s just a crocodile.” “Sceptile is a lizard, but it has personality.” When I look at those two next to each other they look more alike than any other two starters. They are slightly different lizards. People do mental gymnastics to come up with reason to dis Pokémon designs they don’t like and praise their favorites. This conversation topic is a waste of time. Gamefreak does whatever it wants. If they cared about fan opinions we would have much better games. Just pick the one you like best, or dislike the least. You spend most of the game just looking at the back of their heads anyways.
In paldea i can see the grass and water starter actually enjoying their "job" skelridge however i cant imagine a crocodile singing, and he doesnt seem to enjoy that anyway 😅
This guy is so valid
gen 8 and gen 9 have a really trash design, are very forgettable and out of place considering the pokemong world. they should stop doing this bad new gens and instead create like a remaster of the previous games and gens. and all these z moves, dynamax, all trash and out of place, just lame and dull
The last two are exactly the same
