Can we just make "Northernlion ranks" a new series? I would watch a new tier list every week on everything from game tier lists to sandwich tier lists and everything inbetween.
"Any Pokemon with facial hair and its own cutlery is cool" >Puts Mega Alakazam, which is literally Alakazam with a beard and 5 spoons, in God Awful I've never been more mad watching an NL video, but I'm still watching.
Its because the beard is too long, so it would get drenched in its soup and it really doesnt need 5 spoons when it only has two arms. Thats just excessive. Also these didnt exist back then, so they dont really belong on that list anyways.
I don't blame him for not doing it for how long it'd take, but god, I'd enjoy that too. Preferably with bigger images though, the megas were all "what are you?"

How dare you??
I like how NL is amazed the Ekans and Arboc's names are a reverse of what they are, but he doesn't mention Muk's name for this.
He did mention it in one of the team unity streams as a joke tho
Honestly I'd love to see NL's take on all generations of Pokemon, based on only his PokeGo knowledge and first impressions.
I don't blame him for not doing it for how long it'd take, but god, I'd enjoy that too. Preferably with bigger images though, the megas were all "what are you?"
I was mostly interested in making sure you made the correct decision regarding Growlithe and Arcanine, and you certainly did. I respect it.
A pleasant surprise to see my horror content creator, watches my generally rogue-lite content creator. I hope you were "critical" of his list! 😂🤣

Ive never liked them, id say little bad. But i also just didnt happen to get them when i was a kid.
