Fun fact: if your Rayquaza didn't know Dragon Ascent in Gen 7, you had to go to that guy to teach it to it because Rayquaza could only learn that move through Move Tutor until Gen 8
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.
Video idea: Pokémon that should have their abilities changed to those which suit them better design wise and will also make them better in battle. Current example: Empoleon getting Competitive Potential candidate: Flygon getting tinted lens, Kingler getting tough claws, etc.
@@Arcknives it can be an option besides levitate, why can't have both? Some pokemon get 3 abilities that are all good, like Conkeldurr and they use all effectively according to player choice and needs
5:10 While I agree that Palworld have many examples of copying designs from Pokemon, I will always disagree about Anubis looking like Lucario, that's just literally an Anubis, you know, the deity.
@@ResistancePasta Funny that it's so popular that many fakemon creators, even one on this video, base a fan made design of Anubis the deity... it's not so original looking at it this way is it? It's very well known

9:46 the later part was aimed at Palworld. However the statment is basicly we have seen you fans getting up in arms about this, but we don't have a case. nintendo can't touch Palworld if they could they would have already done as Japan has insainly strict copyright laws and both compaines are Japanese so they would have to follow those laws.
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”
13:27 I can explain why they all end in "El." In Hebrew, "El" was a common name for God. Thus, any names that ended with that suffix meant something relating to God. "Israel" translates to "Struggles with God." "Michael" means "Who is like God" (phrased as a question). "Gabriel" means "God is my strength." "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".
Funniest part about the luxray, Boltmane comparison (the ones from the thumbnail) is that boltmane isn’t even in the game. It is an unreleased pal that is only seen in a trailer from 3 years ago

If they were gonna get sued, Nintendo would've done it years ago when the game was still in development and there were trailers showing off the blatant copy. And then he proceeded to put Arsox, a pretty original design since there are no official fire ox/goat pokemon, into BLATANT COPY BECAUSE AN OBSCURE FANGAME DID A SIMILAR DESIGN. A FANGAME. And the disrespect to my boy Chillet! He's just a big cold ferret! What makes him a blatant copy! Furret is literally just a big ferret. That's it.

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 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
...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!_
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!
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
15:52 Ting Lu is supposed to be based off an Elk. I know he looks Moose-like because of the cereal bowl on bis head, but the antlers are very specifically thinner than a moose would have. Though I think a moose themed pokemon would be really cool, maybe Ice-Ground type
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: "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"
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!
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.
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
9:34 THE MEME SPEAKS THE TRUTH! Look, I know that Pokémon’s been messing up lately, but being a toxic user to others is just not cool. If you prefer other games, go right ahead, but be a decent person please.
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
5:47 the legal term plagiarism refers to exact similarity. It has to be a exact copy no flaws if it is just similar or let’s say two things slap together to make a new thing that’s legally allowed by copyright laws or so I have heard from copyright lawyers on this very platform
Then where is the fuss over localization and there inability to word for word translate wheres the fuss over amv (anime music videos) technical parody, secondly it’s not a parody now is it it’s a design inspired by two different things
@@zanderstevens7581 Not to mention most of Pocket Pair's other games are heavily inspired by other games. Craftopia from Breath of the Wild, Never Grave from Hollow Knight.
13:28 youre actually right here, the "ael" part comes from the hebrew words "ha" which means "the" and "el" wich means god, thats why so amnt angels end with that sound. also in hebrew and jewish familis the name Michael prounced "Mi(like the word me)-cha(like h with a scratchy throat)-el" just like you guessed
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
@@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'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.

Pokemon meme review
7:20 I FELT MY SOUL LEAVE MY BODY GRUNTY BOI WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE.
Honestly in regards to Pal World and plagarism things, Nexomon is closer to being a copy of pokemon than Pal World.
I remember when you released the Palworld video a few years ago and it actually releasing just unlocked a core memory
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 👏👏👏
0:04 theme song and funny clap please BRING THEM BACCCCKCKKKKKKCKCKCKCKCK also hi tend people or whatever
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
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.
5:14 Mikey is such a mood sometimes I love it
10:09 I'm so glad team Flare's name doesn't starts with a U
21:46 I love how Mikey didn't even realize this is a Monsters Inc reference
Bro said "This dancing dragon," do you know ttyd!?!?
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
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.
Just know that the ant-lion pokemon (trapinch) spends 95% of it's lifespan in a larval state so those flygons are precious
Absolutly in love with the format to show others artists' work, and the fact that Mickey worries about the credits.
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
"Bug-types die faster!"
Except *Genesect* - that killing machine was brought back stronger than ever.
I cannot decide on What’s better: Mikey, the slideshows, the editing, or just everything! Mikey thank you for everything.
yknow, i used to call Paldea "Pal-World" as a joke before i knew the game
"i wanna see a game theory about this!"
little does he know...

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
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”.
Bro this is peak.
"Bug types evolve fast, that means they die fast!"
Volcarona: *I'm immortal!*
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.
@@thelastwindwaker7948 exactly
...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!_
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
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
5:08 Lucario and Anubis are both biased on the God of death Anubis.
Yeah like and they don't even share pallete of colors
@@KiraiKatsujicolors don’t matter?
@@EthanPence-pq5hv So you mean nothing matters to be called a rip off when the two things are based on the same quite known thing.
@@KiraiKatsuji no, when people say they are ripoffs they can sometimes mean colors, but also stance, body shape, appearance etc
@@EthanPence-pq5hv A Bipedal Jackal inspired on Abubis striking a basic pose is not a rip off like some are
@14:25 Ash also was with Iris as well as Cilan, so thats 5 nickels (Brock, Misty, Iris, Cilan and Clemont).
And the trial captains, so that’s, like, 10 nickels
ik how sweet that first one is, but it was also conflicting with the pokemon anime canon cuz evolution didn't reflect age
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.
I feel unreasonably proud of getting Feraligatr right. Removing the O's is so damn clever
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!
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!
15:52 Ting Lu is supposed to be based off an Elk. I know he looks Moose-like because of the cereal bowl on bis head, but the antlers are very specifically thinner than a moose would have. Though I think a moose themed pokemon would be really cool, maybe Ice-Ground type
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
6:25 thank you for zooming in and letting me see wooper zeraora

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!
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.

Tell me why Grunty Boy actually sold me on air up.
"SUPER EFFECTIVE ON FIRE, GROUND, ROCK, AND DEHYDRATION HEADACHES 😎"
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
9:34 THE MEME SPEAKS THE TRUTH!
Look, I know that Pokémon’s been messing up lately, but being a toxic user to others is just not cool. If you prefer other games, go right ahead, but be a decent person please.
19:09 it’s farfetchd because it’s item is a leek, a leak in a boat could sink it
9:47 That statement was a "shut up, if we have to sue them we'll do but stop being this intense".
"This dancing dragon" sir,that's Toothless .

11:21 TONY STARK BUILT THIS IN A CAVE!!! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!
That angry Grunty Boy drawing is just Grunty Boy whenever he sees Orange. They didn't hit it off well.
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
5:47 the legal term plagiarism refers to exact similarity. It has to be a exact copy no flaws if it is just similar or let’s say two things slap together to make a new thing that’s legally allowed by copyright laws or so I have heard from copyright lawyers on this very platform
sure but palworld fans need to calm down and realise that a LOT of the game is heavily inspired and it's super obvious lol
@@CartoDarko inspired by like 12 other games too, but you don’t see ark survival fans crawling out of the woodwork to scream pal world is plagiarizing
You forgot one tiny thing. Parody is considered plagiarism in Japan
Then where is the fuss over localization and there inability to word for word translate wheres the fuss over amv (anime music videos) technical parody, secondly it’s not a parody now is it it’s a design inspired by two different things
@@zanderstevens7581 Not to mention most of Pocket Pair's other games are heavily inspired by other games. Craftopia from Breath of the Wild, Never Grave from Hollow Knight.
the "TA-TA" is literally PERFECTION!!!
Gosh the change in intro jumpscared me😂
13:28 youre actually right here, the "ael" part comes from the hebrew words "ha" which means "the" and "el" wich means god, thats why so amnt angels end with that sound.
also in hebrew and jewish familis the name Michael prounced "Mi(like the word me)-cha(like h with a scratchy throat)-el" just like you guessed
Yes
Love that people know this

Grunty Boi went FULL GAMER MODE, he has the MAXIMUM BATTLE VISION
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
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'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.
9:45 they probably would've done it when the first trailer came out not after it had 19 million copies sold
