You're right, Michael was originally pronounced Mik-eye-ell, like Raphael. The 'el' suffix means "of God", hence why all the angels names end that way.
All angels except for 2, metatron and sandalphon. This is because they were born human and not directly made by god as an angel from birth Enoch and elijah, they were essentially granted ruler of angels due to their contributions as a human
@@enzoforgets9456 Angels who have lived a life on earth use their names from life, Angels who have not yet done so use the -el names, for instance, the angel Michael later became Adam.
In many, many languages, you still pronouncel "Michael" like that. Like German or "Mikhail" and cohorts, or Miguel. It's just english that randomly decided to pronounce Michael like that.

"Raphiel" means "God has healed," "Azrael" means "Helped by God," "Ramiel" means "Thunder of God," and "Uriel" means "God is my light."
I can add another one: Ariel, originally a boy's Hebrew name meaning "lion of God". Edit: on the girl's side, Isabel apparently means "God's promise" or "God is my oath".

I love how it's becoming standard practice to apply for team sky with just one questionable Pokemon, then immediately try to explain why it's still thematically correct.
The thing about the Palworld "pals" having the exact same meshes was confirmed to be false. the dude who posted that admitted to making it up just because he hates the game because of animal cruelty.
I mean, there is no Palworld on Nintendo switch, so its understandable that you can't try it out, but the game is good and fun, especially with some friends ) And you don't need being good with guns to play it, you need to be good at dodgerolling while your pals destroy the opponent )

i actually very well remember, about 2 years ago mikey and jack (purplecliffe) were watching pokemon ripoff trailers, and PALWORLD was one of them. crazy to see how palword actually made it.
Not only did it get into early acess.. it passed through the legislation Process in Japan.. that has some of the strictest Copyright Laws in the world. :D
@@greed94well i mean there's absolutely some assets that were taken, I mean primarina's hair is VERY distinct and azurobe's is a 1:1 copy of that. But the design as a whole is changed enough to where its legally distinct most likely. It's still pretty lazy at best and genuinely scummy at worst, but legally if it can pass the japanese copyright system then there's absolutely no legal issue. Plus gamefreak/nintendo had a mod taken down in under a day, whereas they've had 3 years for palworld. If nintendo hadnt sued them already, then they definitely aint doing anything now.
14:12 Iris is also a Gym Leader (and a Champion) in the games, yet she wasn't recognised? But I understand that he may be taking into account only the anime.
@@pokehunterhd Wait, she wasn't? I could have sworn that she was. Maybe that's why they didn't recognise her in the original post, although Brock still makes no sense.
@@pablovelasco4270tbf misty did battle ash for the badge but that was partially because her sisters just didn’t want to. As for brock you could argue he gave up his gym leader title to his dad full time whereas cilan and clemont are both still actual gym leaders whilst travelling with ash. So the post makes a lil sense if you squint hard enough
14:49 Oh my goodness! That twist with the Evil team turning out to be saviors in disguise was so unexpected and well-executed! I never saw it coming, but it totally makes sense now. The story just took a whole new level of depth and complexity. Kudos to the game developers for such brilliant writing.
13:58 I saw that dialogue, I used Meowscadra who’s special move (Flower trick) always gets a critical hit and I used it and saw that and laughed. I also said “But I’m using a move that always get critical hits”
Mikey: "The Miltank run will be out at the end of February" Pokemon Day: "Here's a new game everyone will talk about" Mikey: "Well, there goes that plan"
Agree but also disagree. It’s been my favorite game for a while and I think people nitpick it but I can’t lie there are some really concerning things that are just Pokemon
There is also a Mewtwo-like one that shares the same stance/body plan people compare that also isn’t in the game just in the files people push. The only ones that are really dead on similar is the one with prismarina hair, cremis for eevee, and the grass cinderace, but they’re all distinct enough in design and in-game to be set apart. I even think the grass cinderace has a better design just cause it is less human like lmao.
5:11 the issue with saying these things, is that yes they might be copying, pokemon has just done SO MUCH that it may be hard to come up with original designs. Like even if you wanted to do a small sheep pokemon, pokemon has that. Pokemon has just done so much
@@coltonwilkie241 to be fair so long as you have a Metal Coat and someone to trade back and forth with, Syther to Scizor is an immediate evolution. In PLA, it’s even more immediate since the Metal Coat acts like an evo stone so the second you have a Metal Coat and Scyther you can instantly become Scizor. I know these are very idealistic circumstances that don’t happen often in ingame playthroughs, but can happen in postgame pretty simply.
Other notable examples are Galvantua at level 36, Scolipiede at level 30, Yanmega at level 33 because it gets Ancient Power at that level, Orbeetle at level 30, Centiskorch at level 28, Armando at Level 40, and Golisopod at level 20-which doesn’t seem high at first-but because it’s in the slow xp group it takes forever. For context, Kirlia as a pokemon has worse stats than Unkown and then evolves into an amazing pokemon Gardevoir at level 30. For many of these you put in around equal effort for usually less reward. Sad.
Speaking of Palworld, I’m sure me and others would love to see TeamSky play Palworld, and my evidence is that there’s a chicken starter. I would also love to see Grunty Boi play Palworld, pretty much because I would love watching Grunt Boi handle a machine gun 😂
Pokemon has had to know about Palworld for a bit now. If they were going to do something about it, I think they would have by now. I think most of the frustration of it comes from players who want better Pokemon games than what we have gotten from the company who is the highest grossing media franchise. I hope this pushes them to release better games coming forward. Because we all love Pokemon, we just want better quality games
so, Michael, each of the Angels' names means something Uriel: flame of god Raphael: healer Gabriel: derived from the sumerian word of governor Michael has two interpretations- it's either a question; "who is like god?" or a statement; "one who is like god" so take what you will from that
I was so confused by your thumbnail since I didn't recognize it despite catching every non-legendary pal in the game. Turns out that pal isn't in the game anymore but was shown in earlier promotional material. It's fair to point out, but it's kinda awkward having that as your thumbnail since anyone who has played the game without seeing that earlier promotional stuff will be thinking "Wait, that's not even a real pal." :P
There’s a Pal that’s basically it’s spiritual successor, they probably where aware that they where pushing it with the first design and changed it during development
Mikey talking about Rayquaza in Alola Me: did you know that the move reminder costs a heart scale in Alola, and dragon ascent isn’t in its level up moveset in Alola for some reason
Something I noticed in the Orange fan art is that Alolan Exeggutor is drawn the same way as the old jungle Pokémon card set where they drew Exeggutor like that, which (probably) eventually inspired Alolan Exeggutor, so very nice touch by the artist 👏👏👏
...wait a second, I thought there was just about universal support for Mikey keeping the intro in the ASPITPIAY vids?! Where is the intro??? Also, wow, two days after the Team Sky vid? Fanartists work _fast!_
Hey Mickey regarding Palworld and Nintendo: Nintendo has 0 leverage to sue Palworld. Palworld did pass the legislation Process in Japan including Copyright checks (Japan is VERY strict with that). The only thing Pokemon can legally do is to make Palworld change the design of Verdash (the Cinderace lookalike) and similar Pals (what comes to mind would be Robinquill that is very close to Decidueye for example). If the Palworld Devs are clever the use the early access period to change those designs anyway to avoid more Pokemon fanboys piling on them and reviewbombing their game(s) :P Nintendo made the Public statement to stop their Support Outlets being flooded with "OMG DID YOU SEE PALWORLD????? SUE THEM!!!!" messages.
I honestly don’t see the Robinquill similarity, but there’s other pals that are also in the chopping block for a redesign like the one that looks like Dynamax Eve and another that’s a flying type Cobalion. Actually there’s a very few pals that would need a touch up, the vast majority of them are fine and unique for themselves
5:09 Anubis was a god of the dead, Lucario is based on that deity. And Palworld came to making something that's based on said deity. Ether someone didn't do their homework or had forgotten that fact. Also other myths and monsters can also be found, it ain't just pokemon. Palworld's more like Ark mixed with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the kingdom.
I think it's more that their body structure is somewhat similar. You look at Beerus from Dragon Ball, who's also based on the anubis and he doesn't look anything like these two. He's also a cat, not a dog/jackal. Same with Azurobe. Pokemon has at least four species of snake pokemon (Arbok, Serperior, Sandaconda, Seviper) and none of them look as similar as Azurobe does to Serperior.
Bro when at 9:24 i smiled so hard when mikey said "we stan" because i am bi myself and us bi people are basically pushed to the side it's always "gay rights","lesbian rights" but they never consider us bi people

Ive been waiting for palworld since that first trailer dropped and I specifically reserved a day to play all day and night long when it came out. I got ill right after it released so I had a ton of time to play. I've actually had a lot of fun playing it. I think at least 80 hours so far. It's got a ton of potential, and I love a lot of the Pals! In fact the ones that pocketpair created that aren't actual Pokémon knockoffs are so much fun and so cool!
1:00 -Mickeys- -Mikey's- Micheal's little "OOH NYOOO!" Sounds like a little girl finding a hurt caterpillar or something And the fact that the Pokémon Meme Review/ASPITPIAY intro is not there is a heinous crime to MandJTV fans
The fact they didn't just have Ray-ray learn the move by levelup and instead had a dude placed there to teach it is just peak comedy. Just like in gen 7 shadow bone was a level 27 move when Cubone eveolves at level 28 so you wouldn't have access to it until the league. God, learnsets truly were trash until gen 8, honestly.
pokemon made a statement because they kept getting pressured to. palworld devs say theyve already gotten the game verified by a system that checks for japanese copyright infringement.which is far stricter than american copyright. the game has been indevelopment, publicly, for three years and nintendo never send a cease and desist. but a mod came out adding actual pokemon to the game and nintendo had it shut down in hours. so they are obvious watching very closely and yet still have taken no action for all these years.
For anyone curious to purchase the airup; Please do keep in mind it is a form of subscription. It is costly. To use the bottle at all, you need a pod inserted to use it no matter what. You buy them in packs of 3 usually, which is like 9.99. One pod lasts 1-2 days with drinking from it. So you use at least 3 or more pods a week if you use it daily for the goal of actually drinking more water. So, you're now at about 40 bucks a month, so about 480 bucks a year. To use this product. Also; The pods are not reuseable. So please recycle, if you can, the plastic pods. Just keep this in mind, maybe this is cheaper than buying bottles of soda or juice, maybe its less recycling plastic bottles than plastic pods. Maybe you got allergies and you just want to drink water but spice it up a bit? There are many reasons to buy, or not to buy it. But they don't really inform you very well about the amount of pods you may need to buy to drink your water using their product. (Personally I recommend a soda stream and maybe add some concentrated juice that you either make yourself or buy which is pretty cheap and yummy. But that's just how I make myself drink more water daily for lunch and such.) Great video as always! Stay safe everyone! ☺
I don't wanna buy sodastream given they're in the boycott list I am doing , do you know any other alternatives that do the same like the other two like they're a non subscription or in the list of things not to buy from?
@@kaiandtheskitty My grandma used to make her own Elderberry juice/concentrate to mix with water. My older brother now does the same thing and it keeps for a long time and I love the flavour in water. I'm sure you can make your own concentrate from most things you find delicious. Apples, pears, cherries and so on. Can make it with dandelion flowers as well. 🙏 That way you control how you make it and what you add.
There isn't any plagiarism in Pal World and people need to stop using that word like they know what it means. Is it tap dancing on the line? Yes, absolutely. Is it plagiarism? No, 100% not, because if it were Pal World would've never released.
I'm sick of the Anubus comparison. Lucario is based on the God Anubus. That is literally no debate. It's definitely more like Ark, but your enemies work for you. And if you want to roast/attack me for that, I'm a Pokemon fan. Palworld was more stable at launch compared to S/V.
I might be alone when I say this but I feel like someone has to say it. Using aspects of a design to make inspired content isn't plagiarism. While the similarities exist, there's over 1000 pokemon and only over 110 pals. There's bound to be some comparisons between mons. Sure, there's some very similar cases, but ultimately every pal has it's own patent and the developers have been working on the game for a few years with advertising. TPC only cared when Palworld broke record sales. I've played every mainline series pokemon game, also played more spinoff games and fan made games than the usual person. I've also played Palworld, and the games are completely different. I don't think TPC will find anything, and if they do, I hope it's not enough to nuke Palworld as it's genuinely a fun game
Palworld publicly had video, mainly of creatures, for 2.5 years and if Pokémon was going to take action they would have done something and it never would have come out. If they take any action now that it is popular would paint them in a bad light
I have a Video if you wanna see Mikey suffer! Pokemon but you can only use not very effective moves. Rules:Can use any Pokemon you want but can't use super effective or neutral hits to do damage,only not very effective moves!
People really think that NINTENDO of all companies the same Nintendo that dishes out cease and decist like theyre hotcakes, wouldnt nuke the creators of Palworld from orbit at the smallest legal ground, amazes me to say the least.
14:29 minor correction, Misty is not a Gym Leader in an official capacity within the Anime canon, she only stood in for her three sisters when they couldn't accept Ash's challenge and once again in the Hoenn seasons where she stands in for them when they went on a vacation, which was why she had to leave the group after the Silver League Conference. Also if we were following the game canon Iris is also a Gym Leader AND Champion within the games
And isn't Kwami (forgive me been a while since i watched/played Sun and Moon so I dont know his name) basically the equivalent of a gym leader for the Alolan Islands?
I can guarantee that Pokémon will not take any legal action against palworld cause if they had any grounds to have a legal case the game would more than likely never have been released

Goodra is based on the Slug Dragon not a sea slug.
8:21 the “Ta ta!” was way too manly for Grunty Boi
I love how it's becoming standard practice to apply for team sky with just one questionable Pokemon, then immediately try to explain why it's still thematically correct.
The thing about the Palworld "pals" having the exact same meshes was confirmed to be false. the dude who posted that admitted to making it up just because he hates the game because of animal cruelty.
Nooooo please, don’t do away with the intro. It’s amazing and a classic staple 😭😭😭
We’re just gonna gloss over “No Grunty boy I will not go base jumping with you again, oh come on you’re injuries weren’t that grievous” 6:58
Well, we glossed over the fact that GB just casually TELEPORTS to give the sponsored segment, rather than sneaking in.
1:10
Friendly reminder that evolution has nothing to do with age, as we know from that treecko in the anime
Yes, but bugs irl also don't live very long
Ash reunites with his Butterfree after many many yrs too.
@@lipika2841well as you have seen, ash is still 10.
I mean, there is no Palworld on Nintendo switch, so its understandable that you can't try it out, but the game is good and fun, especially with some friends )
And you don't need being good with guns to play it, you need to be good at dodgerolling while your pals destroy the opponent )
So at 13:22, something fun to know is that in Swedish (and maybe even Norwegian, idk, but probably), Michael is actually pronounced "Me-ka-l"
Är det inte mer Mi-ka-el?
Basically the same in Russian with Михаил (Mikhail in English) being Me-kh-eye-l
@@Albinsvensson00 Jo, men en "-" visar en separat uttalning, och eftersom "L" på engelska sägs typ som "E-L" så tänkte jag att det fungerade. Och med tanke på att "Me" på engelska låtar som "Mi" så tänkte jag att det var ett bättre exempel för engelska pratande människor.
in Germany the Name Michael ist spelled as Mi-cha-el. It's pretty interissting to see so many diffrent ways of just one Name.
Its Mi-cha-el here
i actually very well remember, about 2 years ago mikey and jack (purplecliffe) were watching pokemon ripoff trailers, and PALWORLD was one of them. crazy to see how palword actually made it.
Not only did it get into early acess.. it passed through the legislation Process in Japan.. that has some of the strictest Copyright Laws in the world. :D
@@Y0G0FU And that should tell people everything they need to know, that there is no plagiarism. Crazy how so many still insist it is.
@@greed94well i mean there's absolutely some assets that were taken, I mean primarina's hair is VERY distinct and azurobe's is a 1:1 copy of that. But the design as a whole is changed enough to where its legally distinct most likely.
It's still pretty lazy at best and genuinely scummy at worst, but legally if it can pass the japanese copyright system then there's absolutely no legal issue.
Plus gamefreak/nintendo had a mod taken down in under a day, whereas they've had 3 years for palworld. If nintendo hadnt sued them already, then they definitely aint doing anything now.
I remember too
Yea lol. I kinda wanna try it
Honestly in regards to Pal World and plagarism things, Nexomon is closer to being a copy of pokemon than Pal World.
yknow, i used to call Paldea "Pal-World" as a joke before i knew the game
14:12 Iris is also a Gym Leader (and a Champion) in the games, yet she wasn't recognised?
But I understand that he may be taking into account only the anime.
Sad
By that logic, misty shouldn't be counted since she wasn't a gym leader until she stopped traveling.
@@pokehunterhd Wait, she wasn't? I could have sworn that she was. Maybe that's why they didn't recognise her in the original post, although Brock still makes no sense.
@@pablovelasco4270tbf misty did battle ash for the badge but that was partially because her sisters just didn’t want to. As for brock you could argue he gave up his gym leader title to his dad full time whereas cilan and clemont are both still actual gym leaders whilst travelling with ash. So the post makes a lil sense if you squint hard enough
14:49 Oh my goodness! That twist with the Evil team turning out to be saviors in disguise was so unexpected and well-executed! I never saw it coming, but it totally makes sense now. The story just took a whole new level of depth and complexity. Kudos to the game developers for such brilliant writing.
18:20 The PMD music, I can't, the amount of nostalgia filling my small body
14:42 don't forget iris. She's either a gym leader or not depending on version or game.
Well not in the anime
Just know that the ant-lion pokemon (trapinch) spends 95% of it's lifespan in a larval state so those flygons are precious
13:58 I saw that dialogue, I used Meowscadra who’s special move (Flower trick) always gets a critical hit and I used it and saw that and laughed.
I also said “But I’m using a move that always get critical hits”
Mikey: "The Miltank run will be out at the end of February"
Pokemon Day: "Here's a new game everyone will talk about"
Mikey: "Well, there goes that plan"
"Bug-types die faster!"
Except *Genesect* - that killing machine was brought back stronger than ever.
if palworld was even close to plagarism it would have already been sued by nintendo its been on their radar for years while in development.
Agree but also disagree. It’s been my favorite game for a while and I think people nitpick it but I can’t lie there are some really concerning things that are just Pokemon
Its not the same without the intro bro. I miss it
Yea, the lack of an intro caught me off guard
It felt weird without any clap clap Pokémon Meme review.

"Bug types evolve fast, that means they die fast!"
Volcarona: *I'm immortal!*
7:20 I FELT MY SOUL LEAVE MY BODY GRUNTY BOI WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE.
the luxray looking pal is cut content, was removed from the game before release. so using it as comparison is also really pushing it.
There is also a Mewtwo-like one that shares the same stance/body plan people compare that also isn’t in the game just in the files people push.
The only ones that are really dead on similar is the one with prismarina hair, cremis for eevee, and the grass cinderace, but they’re all distinct enough in design and in-game to be set apart. I even think the grass cinderace has a better design just cause it is less human like lmao.
both rabbits looks the same level of humanoid lmao@@crustader3755
@@crustader3755 Cinderace is way better though
5:14 Mikey is such a mood sometimes I love it
The video feel soulless without the intro, please, bring it back
Yes PLEASE
I sang it to myself.
i agree
Yes please! I watch these with my little sister, and she calls him the “*sings the song* guy”.

"Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave.....with a box of scraps"
5:11 the issue with saying these things, is that yes they might be copying, pokemon has just done SO MUCH that it may be hard to come up with original designs. Like even if you wanted to do a small sheep pokemon, pokemon has that. Pokemon has just done so much
21:46 I love how Mikey didn't even realize this is a Monsters Inc reference
Just came back to this channel first time since 2022. These new ideas are great and I am still subbed!
I love how Michael refers to his characters as other people. His reaction to Grunty Boy in B tier, "He'd be pissed." Made me chuckle.
Absolutly in love with the format to show others artists' work, and the fact that Mickey worries about the credits.
Bro said "This dancing dragon," do you know ttyd!?!?
Bug types evolve fast
Volcarona: *am I a joke to you*
Scizor requiring an item and trade to get as well.
@@coltonwilkie241 to be fair so long as you have a Metal Coat and someone to trade back and forth with, Syther to Scizor is an immediate evolution. In PLA, it’s even more immediate since the Metal Coat acts like an evo stone so the second you have a Metal Coat and Scyther you can instantly become Scizor. I know these are very idealistic circumstances that don’t happen often in ingame playthroughs, but can happen in postgame pretty simply.
Other notable examples are Galvantua at level 36, Scolipiede at level 30, Yanmega at level 33 because it gets Ancient Power at that level, Orbeetle at level 30, Centiskorch at level 28, Armando at Level 40, and Golisopod at level 20-which doesn’t seem high at first-but because it’s in the slow xp group it takes forever. For context, Kirlia as a pokemon has worse stats than Unkown and then evolves into an amazing pokemon Gardevoir at level 30. For many of these you put in around equal effort for usually less reward. Sad.
I remember when you released the Palworld video a few years ago and it actually releasing just unlocked a core memory
Speaking of Palworld, I’m sure me and others would love to see TeamSky play Palworld, and my evidence is that there’s a chicken starter. I would also love to see Grunty Boi play Palworld, pretty much because I would love watching Grunt Boi handle a machine gun 😂
13:30 "which means Michael was originally pronounced" *proceeds to give an almost perfect pronunciation of Michael in French.

I cannot decide on What’s better: Mikey, the slideshows, the editing, or just everything! Mikey thank you for everything.
Pokemon has had to know about Palworld for a bit now. If they were going to do something about it, I think they would have by now. I think most of the frustration of it comes from players who want better Pokemon games than what we have gotten from the company who is the highest grossing media franchise. I hope this pushes them to release better games coming forward. Because we all love Pokemon, we just want better quality games
this comment is a W
@@theamazingspooderman2697thank you!
so, Michael, each of the Angels' names means something
Uriel: flame of god
Raphael: healer
Gabriel: derived from the sumerian word of governor
Michael has two interpretations- it's either a question; "who is like god?" or a statement; "one who is like god"
so take what you will from that
10:09 I'm so glad team Flare's name doesn't starts with a U
I was so confused by your thumbnail since I didn't recognize it despite catching every non-legendary pal in the game. Turns out that pal isn't in the game anymore but was shown in earlier promotional material. It's fair to point out, but it's kinda awkward having that as your thumbnail since anyone who has played the game without seeing that earlier promotional stuff will be thinking "Wait, that's not even a real pal." :P
There’s a Pal that’s basically it’s spiritual successor, they probably where aware that they where pushing it with the first design and changed it during development
9:47 That statement was a "shut up, if we have to sue them we'll do but stop being this intense".
Mikey talking about Rayquaza in Alola
Me: did you know that the move reminder costs a heart scale in Alola, and dragon ascent isn’t in its level up moveset in Alola for some reason
Something I noticed in the Orange fan art is that Alolan Exeggutor is drawn the same way as the old jungle Pokémon card set where they drew Exeggutor like that, which (probably) eventually inspired Alolan Exeggutor, so very nice touch by the artist 👏👏👏
I feel unreasonably proud of getting Feraligatr right. Removing the O's is so damn clever
...wait a second, I thought there was just about universal support for Mikey keeping the intro in the ASPITPIAY vids?! Where is the intro??? Also, wow, two days after the Team Sky vid? Fanartists work _fast!_
Base jumping? I feel like that's gonna be the new Camping Trip: mentioned a few times but never explained
the camping trip was mentioned more then once???? /gen
Interesting
the "TA-TA" is literally PERFECTION!!!
Hey Mickey regarding Palworld and Nintendo:
Nintendo has 0 leverage to sue Palworld. Palworld did pass the legislation Process in Japan including Copyright checks (Japan is VERY strict with that). The only thing Pokemon can legally do is to make Palworld change the design of Verdash (the Cinderace lookalike) and similar Pals (what comes to mind would be Robinquill that is very close to Decidueye for example). If the Palworld Devs are clever the use the early access period to change those designs anyway to avoid more Pokemon fanboys piling on them and reviewbombing their game(s) :P
Nintendo made the Public statement to stop their Support Outlets being flooded with "OMG DID YOU SEE PALWORLD????? SUE THEM!!!!" messages.
I honestly don’t see the Robinquill similarity, but there’s other pals that are also in the chopping block for a redesign like the one that looks like Dynamax Eve and another that’s a flying type Cobalion.
Actually there’s a very few pals that would need a touch up, the vast majority of them are fine and unique for themselves
5:09 Anubis was a god of the dead, Lucario is based on that deity. And Palworld came to making something that's based on said deity. Ether someone didn't do their homework or had forgotten that fact. Also other myths and monsters can also be found, it ain't just pokemon.
Palworld's more like Ark mixed with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the kingdom.
I think it's more that their body structure is somewhat similar. You look at Beerus from Dragon Ball, who's also based on the anubis and he doesn't look anything like these two. He's also a cat, not a dog/jackal.
Same with Azurobe. Pokemon has at least four species of snake pokemon (Arbok, Serperior, Sandaconda, Seviper) and none of them look as similar as Azurobe does to Serperior.
@@thelastwindwaker7948the god is a dog tho
@@AxoTheGamer That's what I said. Beerus is based on an anubus, but as a cat instead of a dog. They even choose a species of cat with similar ears.

Bro when at 9:24 i smiled so hard when mikey said "we stan" because i am bi myself and us bi people are basically pushed to the side it's always "gay rights","lesbian rights" but they never consider us bi people
im happy that you're happy and im also happy that he stans the bisexual pokemon character because it made me feel safe seeing how casual and positive he was about it
Ive been waiting for palworld since that first trailer dropped and I specifically reserved a day to play all day and night long when it came out. I got ill right after it released so I had a ton of time to play. I've actually had a lot of fun playing it. I think at least 80 hours so far. It's got a ton of potential, and I love a lot of the Pals! In fact the ones that pocketpair created that aren't actual Pokémon knockoffs are so much fun and so cool!
ik how sweet that first one is, but it was also conflicting with the pokemon anime canon cuz evolution didn't reflect age
1:00
-Mickeys- -Mikey's- Micheal's little "OOH NYOOO!" Sounds like a little girl finding a hurt caterpillar or something
And the fact that the Pokémon Meme Review/ASPITPIAY intro is not there is a heinous crime to MandJTV fans
Rayquaza doesn't learn dragon ascent in gen 7 by level up. that's why he's there
The fact they didn't just have Ray-ray learn the move by levelup and instead had a dude placed there to teach it is just peak comedy. Just like in gen 7 shadow bone was a level 27 move when Cubone eveolves at level 28 so you wouldn't have access to it until the league. God, learnsets truly were trash until gen 8, honestly.

pokemon made a statement because they kept getting pressured to.
palworld devs say theyve already gotten the game verified by a system that checks for japanese copyright infringement.which is far stricter than american copyright.
the game has been indevelopment, publicly, for three years and nintendo never send a cease and desist. but a mod came out adding actual pokemon to the game and nintendo had it shut down in hours. so they are obvious watching very closely and yet still have taken no action for all these years.
For anyone curious to purchase the airup; Please do keep in mind it is a form of subscription. It is costly.
To use the bottle at all, you need a pod inserted to use it no matter what. You buy them in packs of 3 usually, which is like 9.99. One pod lasts 1-2 days with drinking from it. So you use at least 3 or more pods a week if you use it daily for the goal of actually drinking more water. So, you're now at about 40 bucks a month, so about 480 bucks a year. To use this product. Also; The pods are not reuseable. So please recycle, if you can, the plastic pods.
Just keep this in mind, maybe this is cheaper than buying bottles of soda or juice, maybe its less recycling plastic bottles than plastic pods. Maybe you got allergies and you just want to drink water but spice it up a bit? There are many reasons to buy, or not to buy it. But they don't really inform you very well about the amount of pods you may need to buy to drink your water using their product.
(Personally I recommend a soda stream and maybe add some concentrated juice that you either make yourself or buy which is pretty cheap and yummy. But that's just how I make myself drink more water daily for lunch and such.)
Great video as always! Stay safe everyone! ☺
I don't wanna buy sodastream given they're in the boycott list I am doing , do you know any other alternatives that do the same like the other two like they're a non subscription or in the list of things not to buy from?
@@kaiandtheskitty My grandma used to make her own Elderberry juice/concentrate to mix with water. My older brother now does the same thing and it keeps for a long time and I love the flavour in water. I'm sure you can make your own concentrate from most things you find delicious. Apples, pears, cherries and so on. Can make it with dandelion flowers as well. 🙏 That way you control how you make it and what you add.
There isn't any plagiarism in Pal World and people need to stop using that word like they know what it means. Is it tap dancing on the line? Yes, absolutely. Is it plagiarism? No, 100% not, because if it were Pal World would've never released.
"This dancing dragon" sir,that's Toothless .

I'm sick of the Anubus comparison. Lucario is based on the God Anubus. That is literally no debate. It's definitely more like Ark, but your enemies work for you. And if you want to roast/attack me for that, I'm a Pokemon fan. Palworld was more stable at launch compared to S/V.
I might be alone when I say this but I feel like someone has to say it.
Using aspects of a design to make inspired content isn't plagiarism. While the similarities exist, there's over 1000 pokemon and only over 110 pals. There's bound to be some comparisons between mons. Sure, there's some very similar cases, but ultimately every pal has it's own patent and the developers have been working on the game for a few years with advertising. TPC only cared when Palworld broke record sales.
I've played every mainline series pokemon game, also played more spinoff games and fan made games than the usual person. I've also played Palworld, and the games are completely different. I don't think TPC will find anything, and if they do, I hope it's not enough to nuke Palworld as it's genuinely a fun game
Palworld publicly had video, mainly of creatures, for 2.5 years and if Pokémon was going to take action they would have done something and it never would have come out. If they take any action now that it is popular would paint them in a bad light
I have a Video if you wanna see Mikey suffer!
Pokemon but you can only use not very effective moves.
Rules:Can use any Pokemon you want but can't use super effective or neutral hits to do damage,only not very effective moves!
People really think that NINTENDO of all companies the same Nintendo that dishes out cease and decist like theyre hotcakes, wouldnt nuke the creators of Palworld from orbit at the smallest legal ground, amazes me to say the least.
14:29 minor correction, Misty is not a Gym Leader in an official capacity within the Anime canon, she only stood in for her three sisters when they couldn't accept Ash's challenge and once again in the Hoenn seasons where she stands in for them when they went on a vacation, which was why she had to leave the group after the Silver League Conference. Also if we were following the game canon Iris is also a Gym Leader AND Champion within the games
And isn't Kwami (forgive me been a while since i watched/played Sun and Moon so I dont know his name) basically the equivalent of a gym leader for the Alolan Islands?
All of ash's Alola companions minus Lillie are captains, but I'd not say that's the same as a Gym Leader@@auraguardianemerald6667
I also would like to add that in gen 7 ash does adventure with trial captains which is as close as you could get for that region
I can guarantee that Pokémon will not take any legal action against palworld cause if they had any grounds to have a legal case the game would more than likely never have been released
7:15 We just got Grunty Bro
@14:25 Ash also was with Iris as well as Cilan, so thats 5 nickels (Brock, Misty, Iris, Cilan and Clemont).
