My first shiny was a machoke that i found directly after running out of pokeballs while im on my way to buy some more never seen another shiny after that
I laughed at how appropriate the shinies you both got were! You got Genesect and Politoed; Mikey got all blue shinies, including a Miltank that evolved into Grovyle.
When John started to do his speech again when finding the Shiny Genesect, I was expecting Mikey to find a shiny and catch it before John threw his Master Ball.
I like Chikorita's line, (aesthetically I probably prefer it to Totodile, even though Totodile is still great) it's just that grass types in general are not set up for sucess in Jhoto. There's not a single gym or elite four battle until post game where grass is super effective. Send it to just about any other reason and I believe it could thrive, it just lives in a hostile environment.
@@dracos0024 Water doesn't have the same disadvantages grass does in Jhoto. Flying is both super effective against and resists grass, water takes normal damage. Bug is both super effective against and resists grass, water takes normal damage. Normal deals normal damage to both. Ghost deals normal damage to both. Fighting deals normal damage to both. Steel resists grass, water resists steel. Ice is super effective against grass, and is resisted by water. Dragon resists both of them. In the elite four: Psychic is neutral to both. Fighting is neutral to both. Poison is both super effective against and resists grass, water is affected normally. Dark is affected normally by both. Dragon resists both. Water was hit by super effective moves 0 times, had its attacks resisted 2 times, and resisted enemy attacks 2 times. Grass was hit by super effective damage 4 times, had its its attacks resisted 6 times, and resisted enemy attacks 0 times. Water had 2 advantages 2 disadvantages disadvantages. Score: 0 Grass had 10 disadvantages and 0 advantages. Score: -10 If you want to count dual typings... Until post game, Morty's whole team are poison types. They don't have any poison attacks, but they still resist grass. Water: 0 Grass: -11 Considering he only has 2, half of Chuck's team is water type. I won't give Chikorita a resistance point since the AI will probably hit for normal with fighting instead; but it does mean grass can actually hit super effective for once and water is resisted. Water: -1 Grass: -10 Water is also weak to to Jasmine's electric types, and her electric types don't actually have any steel attacks, therefore all their stab attacks will be resisted by grass. Water: -2 Grass: -9 Lance's team is predominantly flying type, both resisting and hitting grass for super effective. Water: -2 Grass: -11 Not to mention Team Rocket favors poison types like Zubat and Koffing which would be an additional detriment to grass. Water: -2 Grass: -12 No matter what method I use to measure it, grass keeps coming up with a distinct disadvantage.
In my opinion, the whole Chikorita line is just disappointing. Chikorita, explains itself. I can't even remember the names of it's evolution, and I normally remember every starter! Tododile and Cyndaquil are amazing Pokémon, though I feel the mid evo of both of those lines aren't all that good.
@@luckyloke5971 Bayleef and Meganium. I actually like Bayleef best out of the set, which is odd, because as you pointed out, middle evolutions are usually underwhelming. You're welcome to your (popular) opinion, I will still disagree. My fondness for these Pokémon probably comes way more from the anime (Ash's, Casey's) and the manga (Crystal's) than any experience I've had with them in the games. I never tried to use it for quite a while (Cyndaquil is my all time favorite, so it's hard not to pick it every time) but I did do a Chikorita run for sake of dex completion, and I struggled with it like anyone does. I accepted for a while that as much as I like Chikorita, Chikorita is bad. Then I got to the postgame and my Meganium performed really well in Kanto. That shifted my perspective. Chikorita is not a bad grass type, grass types are bad in Jhoto. Now I know a Pokémon being "good" comes down to more than bst (stat spread, access to moves that utilize its best stat, compatible ability) but bst is still a good baseline for roughly comparisons, and Chikorita stacks up pretty well against the other starters. With a bst of 318 Chikorita starts off higher than both Totodile (314) and Cyndaquil (309). Compared to grass starters from other regions it is in a three way tie for second place with Bulbasaur and Turtwig, only definitely behind Rowlet (320), and ahead of Chespin (313), Treeko (310), Grookey (310), and Snivy (308). Bulbasaur is often considered the best Kanto starter, but it's not exactly 1-to-1 on account of being a duel type so I'll pass by it and go to gen 3. Treeko is definitely less popular than Mudkip, but it still seems reasonably well loved and does an adequate job in its region. Seems like a fair comparison for Chikorita. I've never gotten around to doing this test, but I'm pretty sure that if a Hoenn game were edited to start with Chikorita, and a Johto game to start with Treeko, it would be the Treeko struggling more due to being a grass type in Jhoto.
Oooo I have only played insurgence would you recommend soulstones? I mean right now I am playing through Emerald again as I wait to buy my switch teehee but you can never have too much pokemon
@@jamesmccarthy962 I like those odds still better than usual. I never get shinies honestly. It is depressing. I have heard uranium is good. And I found Insurgence through M&JTV playthrough lol. Think he has uranium playthrough too... Teehee

John saying "shiny shiny shiny shiny" before his encounter reminds me of that time I clicked on a Carvanha on Go, said "be shiny" and then it was actually shiny. I was f*cking gobsmacked lmao
Someday I want to see Mkey do a challenge or playthrough with rules of some sort that end up forcing him to work with a Miltank by random chance, and for him to gain fresh appreciation for the Miltank species from the experience. Doesn't even have to make him like it, I'll settle for just lessening the loathing.
Across the board, yeah. Gen 3 has the best starters. All of them have great design and they perform relatively the same in the region. Sure, Sceptile gets the short end of the stick in terms of type and overall performance, but it gets the coolest signature move.

If I had a nickel for every time a SpongeBob meme was brought up in a Pokémon challenge, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I would super love to see them go head to head shiny hunting but once someone catches a shiny they have to wait until the next route or after the gym battle and see who gets close to a full team. 😂
I finally got my shiny Piplup in Brilliant Diamond while watching this… coincidentally very soon after Mikey sang “Shine bright like a diamond”. It was after 4295 resets!
This reminded me of the first shiny I ever got, it was a shiny boldore in bw (which also happens to be my favourite shiny). I then made a terrible discovery because I had ran out of pokeballs 😔
I got a shiny abomasnow during this video and had hadn't a heart attack when it started hailing, then I remembered hail doesn't affect her, I'm naming her heart attack
As cringy as my first impression on you and the other two who join you on these challenges was, I can't deny I've gotten invested on seeing who wins. I especially really like how abrupt the endings are and the editing throughout the video
