Sorry for the subpar audio this week. It’ll be back to normal next week when I release my “Creating New Fossil Pokemon” video :)
I'm sorry, new fossil-mon? Are you going to make new fossils as well? That sounds awesome, by the way!
Didn’t you mention a new crocodile mon coming soon in the last video? I hope that’s one of the fossils!
@@extremelybaldcardboard I’m hoping it’s one of those galloping crocodiles of ancient times, but I don’t think they were found in the modern day Middle East
Isn’t this the first time you e created fossil Pokémon?
What! I finally can put a face on that voice. If this isnt new... sorry it hs been long since last time a watched one of your vids 😅
"Only children say that things are for children" is my new favorite quote.
Same.
Actually no only adults only say things are for children, ONLY ADULTS
Teletubbies fandom UNITE
As a wise woman once said: 'Children are always looking to be recognized as adults. You recognizing your own childishness is a sign of maturing.' Can't remember the exact line offhand, but I always loved that skit. :)
@@theoaremevano3227 I actually like that a lot!
People: The ultra beasts don't look like pokemon.
Me: that's the point.
True
Yeah true, they're supposed to look like 'aliens' sorta
I've never even played gen 7 and understand that.
finally someone gets it
That’s kind of why I love the UBs. Some of my favorites (competing with the Porygon line and Sigilyph).
I remember when Unova was always considered the worst back in the day. I mentioned this in a discussion and a bunch of people said this was never the case so I'm glad to hear you remember it being that way too
It is just some of the Pokemon and the anime that is bad the good pokemon and its story are amazing
@@undeadhoundoom3263 oh 100%, the anime is such a let down. Way too many unnecessary characters and Ash practically abuses his Pokémon, especially during the Cynthia Pokémon battle.
@@lambybunny7173 actually it’s not as bad as people say it is, Ash is just a complete idiot but everyone else is fine, plus Cynthia is just hilarious in it
@@lambybunny7173 I am a MASSIVE Gen 5 fan, and even I can't stand the Gen 5 anime. It's just bad. The pasing is odd and Iris is just annoying, and not in a good kinda way. The best Anime is deffinitly Pokemon X, Y, & Z.
@@LuxrayLloyd Really hoping that when we get eventual Gen 5 remakes, the Gen 5 anime will get a much needed rework.
Unpopular opinion : people hated let's go , but now they pretend to love it so they can compare it to swsh or bdsp
That's not a unpopular opinion, that's just fact.
I've always liked Let's Go.
The games were obviously made for pretty young children, but I simply like cute things and think they were pretty good.
Now leave me and my cute little Eevee alone.
@@Povejmikatrina I never said let's go was bad btw :).
Yeah, I completely agree with this a ton
@@sinnohperson8813 I know, my comment was more directed at people who don't like it and not really at you.
"Misty is a good role model" Misty hitting Brock with a log for no reason. Yes indeed.
Yeah misty was too violent a lot and tsundere but my least fav poke girl is May or Iris but those were the gens I never watched
@@MrMoustache144 I didn't see any of gen 3 but I have seen the entirety of gen 5 and I can say that Iris was not at all a fun character :( I think she's pretty decent in the pokemon journeys episode, though
@@dwarflanternsharkfriend6713 Yeah their battle was cool but from what I've seen Iris was really pretentious and conceited and always calling Ash a kid even though he's done way more in his Pokemon career then she did at the time like a kid sure lol this kid met Arceus and tried to fight Mewtwo he's no ordinary kid
To be fair, I love Brock, but it's important to get across that being a constant thirsty horndog is not okay.
Misty called a Furret a Ground Type.
Here's mine: the best NPC in any Pokémon game is Biker Ernest (HGSS) he's a biker with a tough exterior but he has a Teddiursa and Marill and just wants to be your friend. Love that guy, he's cute.
Oh, it's nice to see someone talk about a cool NPC I've never heard of instead hearing stuff about Joey or Ben (shorts gut) or Mindy or that one couple with the Onix and Cloyster.
Oh hell yeah I remember that guy!! I loved seeing his team. It's a cute little detail and I really appreciated it.

My favourite is the Lets Go Kneecaps kid from Sun & Moon
@Mofter Mof Her name is Mindy.
Ron:"Misty's a good role model."
Me:SHE HIT BROCK OVER THE HEAD WITH A LOG!
Wow, so she was actually less violently abusive than most anime girls from the early 1990’s/2000’s? Way to go Pokémon, you took the high ground and stuck to only using blatant Cartoon violence instead of literally having her beat the crap out of Ash and Brock until they were just a pile of bruised limbs.
(Yes I’m being sarcastic, and I’m still annoyed that I’m not wrong in saying that.)
@@the_real_tabby For no reason, too lol
@@Justice-jm2cc she slapped him cuz she thought he almost killed pikachu.
@@Justice-jm2cc misty she got Mad over ash cause he broke her bike
@@yarc9 That happened after the slap. She immediately slapped him in the face when they first met lol

Wait, what?
Unpopular opinion: Sword and Shield's graphics aren't bad. They aren't great either, but it's a good baseline for future pokemon games. My main problem with them isn't the low resolution tree, it's the fact that the map models and the human/pokemon character clash. They aren't the same art style and it feels like the lighting used for the overworld/map environments is different compared to the character models
The graphics can sometimes look great, but in the wild area and some other places in SwSh do not look good, but not bad, just "meh, really could've better"
@@kiavra1789 The thing is the only reason the graphics were harshly criticised is because Gamefreak said that the Pokedex was cut to improve them. I don't think that many people would have cared about that tree design if not for that very reason
But Sword and Shield were supposed to be the evolution, not the baseline. Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee were supposed to set the bar and get Game Freak used to working on the Switch, but they totally dropped the ball and made SWSH look arguably worse.
@@kiavra1789 Is it so unreasonable to expect graphics that are at the very least decent when the company has nearly limitless money to work with AND experience on the console? The Switch is drastically different than the 3DS, but they had a full game development cycle to figure out the kinks. Not to mention they could have simply used their enormous amount of money to hire people who had worked on switch games.
@@kiavra1789 To say that they had nearly unlimited money is not strange. The Pokemon is quite literally the most profitable media entity ever. The brand grosses over $92 billion USD annually. The most expensive videogame ever produced was Red Dead Redemption 2, at $450 million USD. The Pokemon company could trump that using 1/200 of their annual income. That much money DOES equal quality, because Game Freak could easily hire anybody they needed to to make the animations work. The talent exists, as we've seen with exquisitely animated games like Pokken Tournament and New Pokemon Snap. If Game Freak needed ANYONE with that level of experience and talent, they could pay to find and hire them. Hell, they could just pay Bandai Namco, who made those two aforementioned games, to help out.
Could not agree more on Gen 7 being underrated. Original Sun/Moon has one of my favorite stories in the franchise
and plots*
Exactly finally someone who thinks well
Give it to gen 9 for people to view it like they view gen 5, is always like that, megas were widely hated first, but people are now making rumors with hopes of megas in gen8
A lot of the reason I've heard people hate the last 3 gens is becuase the region design is very "linear" with little real exploration and discovery. This is definitely true of SwSh, but as someone who hasn't ever played Gens 6 or 7, is this true of those games or is it just a common misconception?
@@BenjaminAnderson21 Speaking for Gen 7, I'd say it is true that they aren't the strongest exploration-wise. I think that the linearity of Sun/Moon strengthens the story and sacrifices more open-ended RPG elements. I guess it's whatever the player prefers!
Hotake: Iris is the strongest champion pre fairy, like her strongest team has straight up COMPETITIVE ready pokemon.
She's even more powerful than *her*
I almost got reverse swept by her Archeops. Garchomp cannot even compare to that monster. Acrobatics is such a scary move 😨
@@Xman34washere Cynthia? Cynthia is good.... but not as strong iris offensively.
I dunno about the last thing. I don't get into competitive stuff
True, but gen 4 Garchomp is far scarier than any of Iris' pokemon.
Unpopular Opinion: Permanent Exp share would be a good thing if the game was balanced around it. I like not having to worry about one of my Pokémon getting too overlevelled and trivializing the game, or one of my Pokémon getting underlevelled, and being basically useless. This only works if they actually make the games harder to compensate, though.
Basicaly HGSS or XY
@@ericgabrielalvesdecarvalho3496 Do you really think X and Y are even close to hard?
@@otozinclus3593 no, Just saying that these games could use a XP share sistem

I don;t understand that somepeople dislike the ultra beats because "they look weird". Their supposed to be aliens, so they need to be wierd.
They probably know their purpose to look weird but that doesnt mean they have to like it, dont get me wrong i like the ultra beasts but lets just agree to disagree.
I think people hate because they some of theme looks like human than alien .. I'm actually don't have any problems with alien pokemon but I don't like how pheromosa and buzzwole look like a crossbred between human and random bug
Unpopular opinion: team yell are actually not a bad concept and would’ve worked so well with the story, if they weren’t labelled as the main antagonistic team of the region. Team Yell being based on hardcore British football fans works well with the gym challenge in Galar. But, using them as the main evil team and not indulging more into the dark side of Marco Cosmos send the wrong signals.
But that's the thing they are not labelled as the main antagonistic teamm like team skull it's stupid that people think they're the main team
@@homie_g8948 I think they are considered the main team because macro cosmos does barely nothing in the game
I like the concept, but the way the team was executed made them feel like a team skull rip off, wich shouldn't be the case.
Team Yell wasn't the main antagonist team though, very obviously not. They were basically soccer hooligans, who acted as comic foils and speed bumps along your journey. Unlike say Team Skull who were basically social outcasts and one big found family. More over Team Rocket being a criminal syndicate, Magma/Aqua wanting to cause a cataclysmic event, Galactic wanting to destroy the universe, and Flare wanting to cull the population of the planet. It's pretty obvious from the outset that Chairman Rose is the real antagonist, especially because the jerk rival us the trainer he endorsed. Even if Rose's heart was in the right place... It makes sense after USUM's version of the Aether Foundation.
@@drs-fon-s6579 Not really. Team Yell were just British footie hooligans and mega fans for Marnie. Team Skull are social outcasts, orphans, runaways, and the like. Being one big found family, doing whatever they could to survive day to day.

Alola has a great story and great characters like Lillie, it has a lot of content and side content like the mantime surf and has great culture.
Speaking of Lillie I just love her smoking hot crazy mother Lusamine. Probably my favorite waifu in all of the series.
What a nice replies section, I sure hope there is no lusamine thirsting
Alola has a buff mosquito. 10/10
Ultra Sun and Moon are my favourites.
My unpopular opinion is that Kalos is a good region. The transition from 2D to 3D was handled better than most other things. The towns are really good looking. This may be *slightly* biased because it was the generation that introduced me to Pokémon.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
I also think it got a lot of hate for fairy type. People love dragon type and they can't stand them being nerf. I don't care for dragon type so I love fairy type. Plus I hated using ice to beat dragon cuz the only good ice move for a while was ice beam and I am soooo sick of looking everywhere for it in the game. Now, I don;t need to rely on just ice beam to beat dragon. I remember in gen 1,2,3,4, and 5 I was always looking for ice beam to beat dragon type and it was soooo annoying. There was very few good ice TM.
Yes, I fully agree. Also I think X and Y are amazing games to start with (they were my starting point too) Everyone hates on it for being too easy, but not everyone wants a ‘hard’ game from Pokémon
@@bobbysmith8095 The Fairy type is honestly the worst thing about gen 6.
@@bobbysmith8095 Could not agree more. Dragon types were *super* overpowered until fairy types came along, though I think it’s kinda weird that almost all the fairy types are feminine despite most fairy myths in Europe depict fairies being evil, and according to artsandculture.google.com, they are more often then not evil in myths involving them. Otherwise the fairy type is great!
@@MidnightDragonProductions Can you explain why it is the worst? I am curious why you hate it.
people will sue you on twitter for having different opinions than them.

As much as I try to give some love to inteleon , I can't stop myself from hating it.
Bro inteleon should have been water FLYING, it GLIDES for god sake.
@@WildWeavile and just because it can glide it should be flying?
A lot of Pokémon get this treatment by fans and I don’t like it
@@LycanMOON To be fair, Gligar and Gliscor exist and glide is literally in their name.
I don’t like rillaboom because it has a big wooden drum on its back. Rillaboom itself is already big enough so why add another object that half its size.
I don’t know if this is unpopular, but I loved all of Ash’s companions in Sun and Moon. They weren’t perfect by any means(cause nobody is), but they all had their own unique charm and moments that made me love all of them for who they are. While I wish they were developed a bit more, they’re part of the reason why Sun and Moon is my favorite series.
Same, although X and Y still hold a special place in my heart.
This is basically the popular opinion. Almost everything about SM was gem.
@@steampunkvgc6319 which is funny cause I used to hate Sun and Moon due to the art style( X&Y was my first Pokemon anime series so you can guess why)😅 then I finished it a couple months ago and it became my absolute favorite!
I hate alola not the games but the anime art style and it got really childish instead of having funny jokes in kanto.
@@steampunkvgc6319 Except for the 70 minutes of unskippable tutorial at the start of the freaking game.
Unpopular Opinion: XY are one of the most repeatable Pokémon games in the series. They are so easy to pickup and jumps right into the action without much need for long cutscenes or tutorials.
Preach. They're very easy, but that means you can experiment wildly with teams and challenges (Nuzlockes, Single Pokémon, Monotype, etc.). There is fun to be had here.
Edited for grammar.
I find the part between the first and second gym very long and daunting though.. but after that it picks up pace and gets bettet
I agree, the gen 6 games are the ones I replay the most.
@@remhauck1577
Gen 6 is so easy to replay. Especially compared to Gen 7 because you easily jump into the action.
@@isaaclim8645 it’s a good long ness imo
OK, I have an unpopular opinion within another unpopular opinion:
My favorite generation was gen 7 (brougth me back to the franchise)
I like Sun and Moon more than USUM (because USUM kinda replaced the best part of the story with Necrozma-Hype out of nowhere)
Gen 7 is also my favorite, it was my first gen as I started playing mainline after Pokemon Go came out.
This isn't really an unpopular opinion, but the Galar league is VERY underappreciated. Every gym feels exciting, and the atmosphere in the stadiums are perfect. Every gym leader has personality, and they're actually relevant to the plot. The typings are also great, with the first 3 gyms making a type triangle with your starter, and the 4th gym being neutral. The gyms also follow the correct order for the first time ever, with the first gym being the easiest and the 8th being the hardest. Plus, Piers and Raihan are probably some of the best gym leaders in the franchise.
The Alola/Gen 7 love in this video makes me so happy.
Generation 7 have great pokemon diversity.
And don’t forget about necrozma, necrozma is also one of the strongest legendaries ever created, especially ultra necrozma, ultra necrozma is a broken pokemon and it’s a dragon made up of pure light energy and ultra necrozma used it’s powers to create the entire alola region and that’s dope and I love how regular form necrozma is basically the remnants of a dragon and it’s torso is basically a dragon’s head and what makes up ultra necrozma and ultra necrozma is suitable for providing our house with lights if there’s a blackout, so yay for that I guess.
Me too
"It's not always black and white" Oh, a gen 5 theme song reference
That theme song was soooo good
I feel like the only villain in Pokemon who had a somewhat well-executed plan was Ghetsis in BW. In BW2 not so much, but it makes sense because at that point he went completely and totally axe-crazy!
I have one for you:
After Gen 1 and up until generations 7 and 8 where they started messing with the evil team idea a bit, I felt like a lot of evil teams were falling into a samey trend. There's a big, motivated villain at the top with a bunch of followers with motivations that are significantly less clear. They're just 'part of a group' and their jerkish attitudes seem to be because they're kind of assholes I guess. Then there's the order of events.
-You run into a couple here and there trying to steal things for 'insert reason here'.
-You beat them because they're so bad at raising Pokemon that their mons don't even evolve well after their evolution level (???).
-They have a couple of officers that don't seem any more interesting than the grunts, they just have different colored hair, more annoying personality traits and a name.
-You eventually fight the leader.
-They go and piss off some legendary Pokemon thinking it'll do whatever they want. (Ask Eggman how well that plan works.)
-It doesn't work because nobody can control these things.
-You catch it.
-You rock.
-You go kick in some heads at the Pokemon league.
Taking a step back from the games they were in, it felt like they kept going over the same basic order of events, even when the main villain had totally different motivations. For some reason, they always had to have a TEAM. Having organized villains in RPGs is not uncommon, but a lot of RPGs tend to focus on the main officers a lot more, where in Pokemon, the officer rank characters are just 'the only people other than the leader who use evolved Pokemon'.
It's still hard to put the while idea into words because there ARE different things about each game, but it felt to me like a mix of new ideas and old obligations that kept them from developing more distinct identities. I honestly liked Skull because of how they felt like a group of people with good reason to gang up and take on the rest of the world, and a lot of their similarities with past groups were kind of treated as jokes, like the grunts making fun of the fact that they're all named "Grunt".
i just dislike that very few times does the player actually have a reason to be fighting the evil team...it doesn't have to be like "They kidnapped/killed my parents" or anything but having an actual story-level reason for fighting them would be nice. this is what gen 5 does well, in BW team plasma kinda impedes your progress on the gym challenge multiple times and even steals Bianca's Munna at one point. and in B2W2 your rival and best friend Hugh had a pokemon stolen from his little sister, and your fighting them because you want to help your friend and rival.
The always needing a team for some reason is a really interesting point. Imagine a threatening ass villain that's just on his own. Someone like Ghetsis. He was so threatening that people made theory's assuming he killed the protagonists of black and white 1.
team rocket never says why they do anything
The pikachu clones are not pointless. They have an important role in the games as the pokemon used to present some of the main new features in each game:
Gen 2 Pichu - Pokemon breeding/baby pokemon.
Gen 3 Plusle and Minun - Double battles and abilities.
Gen 4 Pachirisu - Gender diferences and physical/special split with pachirisu being the first pikachu clone with higher attack rather than special attack and being one of the mascots for the gen 4 online battles.
Gen 5 Emolga - Hidden abilities. It is even the only pokemon in the gen 5 games that had motor drive as hidden ability specifically.
Gen 6 Dedenne - Fairy type.
Gen 7 Togedemaru - Z-crystals and Totem pokemon. Vikavolt also got to be a totem pokemon but that´s because it´s low key another of Sophocles signature pokemon.
Gen 8 Morpeko - Temporary form change during battle, which is the main trait with the pokemon in galar region (specially with the dynamax/gigantamax phenomenon, with a huge amount of galar native pokemon having more than one form and the galar dex and isle of armor dex being filled with many more pokemon with more than one form).
The last two are pointless
Emolga is my favorite
@@SMCwasTakenSame
My unpopular opinion personally is that XY Overall gets trashed on too much, despite the badly executed lore and the easiness of it all I think it added a lot of new feature that were neat. It also had the best connexion and wifi system. The region in itself is good, mega evolution is probably one of the best gimmick ever added, the zones were diverse with a large pokemon roster despite the region having very few pokemon added, and even then I think gen 6 had some of the most impressive design, lore and mythology inspiration. And this is a message from someone that started with gen 4 before anyone says that it's a bias because you started with it or something. They are kind of underrated, although they aren't near my top pokemon games I still think they get way too much hate and are actually a pretty cool game.
Unpopular opinion:honestly, galar is slightly better in the nonlinear thing more than Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Pokémon Sword and Shield aren’t as linear as You think due to the fact that the wild area is huge and most of the areas in the wild area is optional and Pokémon Sword and Shield aren’t as linear as Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Pokémon Sword and Shield aka galar does not have a lot of optional areas, but the wild area is a fun explorable part of the region and the most of the areas in the wild areas are optional and galar does have some explorable place that you can get lost easily like slumbering weald and the glimwood tangle and some mini islands in some routes, etc and I get lost easily there and I have another unpopular opinion, Pokémon Sword and Shield also have a great storyline and great plot and the plot was executed really well and it’s a million times better than Pokémon X and Y.
@@kerrywien6775 how the hell does it have a great storyline, it basically has no plot until the end where it tries to save itself, XY's plot was at least all around the game and executed, here it's starting at the very end. And also yes you can get lost in the wild area but getting lost doesn't make it less linear, it's just wider, you still know where to go, although it's kinda just easy to pick on pokemon games for their linearity since all of them are really linear.
@@boniour3883 Because, I wanted to show everyone how galar is actually not a bad region, the progression from point a to point b is linear, but the region is so big and I enjoyed exploring the wild area and the wild area feels huge and I was disappointed 😿 that we didn’t get a second wild area consisting of mainly dungeons, caves and islands that mainland galar is lacking. The characters of galar are the most fleshed out and well written alongside unova.
But fuck unova, I haven’t played Pokémon BLACK VERSION 2 and Pokémon WHITE VERSION 2. And my unpopular opinion is:I dislike Pokémon Black and White. The plot and postgame are great 😊, but it lacks a postgame story besides looker chapter involving the seven sages and unova have the worst roster of new pokemons, most of the new pokemons are ugly or unappealing, well, fuck generation 5.
@@boniour3883 Pokémon Sword and Shield are better than Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon X and Y.
@@boniour3883 I recently bought both DLC. Now, I love 💕 galar even more. The crown tundra is cool 😎 for exploration. As of now, galar is my favorite 😍 region. Why ?
Because there’s tons of new areas to explore in the postgame, such ruins, dungeons, caves, etc to explore that mainland galar is lacking and now that I have accessed the DLC, I’m guaranteed that I’m going to give
galar a 5 star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.
Pokémon Sword and Shield also have a great storyline which makes it great 😊 for the fleshed out/well written characters.
Unpopular opinion: Objectively speaking, the exp share doesn't change the difficulty of the game. All it does is reduce the time it takes to grind
I agree, it just removes a lot of the tedium early games had.
I definitely agree that the EXP Share is a very handy item for doing just that: when an opponent is simply overleveled compared to you, or you are raising an egg pokémon to be on your team. However, I still think it can be abused to the point where you don't get to enjoy the game, because you OHKO everything, so you don't get to see what strategies the opponent has prepared. Anyway, I personally find it more fun when you are on a more even playing field with the opponent. That way it feels more like you are battling an actual person, rather than lawnmowing :)
Yeah, I don't like long grinding sessions too much.
I also like the other EXP boosting mechanics (Unevolved Pokemons getting a boost ever passing their initial evolve level and Poke Amie EXP boost).
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 Whether you abuse the exp share is 100% your choice. It's not an inherent quality of the item.
@@antonioiniguez1615 I'm thinking more about younger/newer players, who might not know about how these games tend to be balanced throughout the run of the story or how experience (or EV's for that matter) is supposed to work, or how overtraining might ruin their experience of the game. The old exp. share I am perfectly fine with since the implications of its use are more limited and more easily graspable to a 7-year-old. What I'm not so ok with is the default 'on' mode of the new one and the even distribution. It makes it harder to focus on bringing up a particular 'mon, as well as make it much easier to forget about exploring the world because you are automatically powerful enough to progress through the storyline without either that or any kind of strategy. Ideally, this would be the trade-off; either you explore side-areas/quests and get experience that way, or you are enough of an experienced battler to know how to win in a disadvantaged position- But this is part of the problem I have with some of the newer games in general, that the element of exploration is somewhat side-lined in favour of linearity and flashy story events. It's not completely one-sided; The Wild Area is great for that feeling of discovering new species, and the whole of Alola felt very much like a connected ecosystem with lots of hidden encounters. I'm not saying go back to gen 1 and being stuck outside of Saffron City for several years because you don't know English yet (defo not me xD), but I feel like Satoshi Tajiri's original vision of Pokémon (exploring and collecting) should be a bit more front and centre.
Maybe a few years from now when Gen 7 is more nostalgic to people they'll get the respect they deserve.
Yeah I mean now a days people are looking at X and Y and seeing if they were wrong about it being the worst, thanks to gen 5 getting the attention it is time for X and Y turn
@@puggers8591 To be honest while I think X & Y are fine Pokémon games and definitely not bad I personally think their one of the weaker Pokémon games.
@@PeterGriffin11 Yeah, understandable
from my experience on the internet, i've learned that basically anything will get praise after enough time has passed, by the time any given pokemon game is 10 years old it's almost guaranteed there will be people praising it to no end
Gen 7 is already nostalgic to me
The one person put in by alola that the Pokémon aren’t very good
And then said by Unova “it has some bad Pokémon but all regions have some”
UNOVA SUPERIORITY BITSHESSS
I honestly dont see which pokemon in alola can be considered bad, a ton of em are pretty cool to me atleast! i can see the hate for mons like bruxish, the monkeys, and comfey, but any mon other than that is really, really cool in my book. are there any more mons that just dont seem very good, and why? might have missed some
additional note: a starter being feminine is not a valid reason to hate it
@@barraskewda333 alola had some amazing pokemon. Bruxish and that UB with the big branches are those that I didn't really like
@Mofter Mof I meant celesteela
@@barraskewda333 I agree, there were a lot of Pokemon from gen7 that I thought were pretty cool overall. And about the hate you mentioned for Popplio's evolutions being feminine, I honestly agree with you 100% on this; I will admit that I'm biased towards Popplio and it's evolutions overall, but I've always felt it got too much hate from people. In fact, I would even say that it becoming feminine as it evolves into Brionne and eventually Primarina is actually part of what I like about it: I think Brionne looks really cute and Primarina is beautiful, and you just don't see too many starter Pokemon designed like that, so it's a breath of fresh air if you ask me!
I agree, Gen 7 is very underrated. This gen was great. Not one of the best (definitely not) but still very solid.
EDIT: I think when people call gen 7 and 8 "realistic", they're mostly referring to the dimensions of the region, the buildings and the characters have a realistic size compared to the models that existed before (small characters, small buildings, but big roads which was better).
Also, despite it not being my first region (that would be Kanto, in gen 1), Hoenn is still my favourite and always will be at this rate.
Thank you 😊
@@dangerbuffrocky For what? (I'm confused)
@@c0mpu73rguy for seeing the greatness of gen 7
@@dangerbuffrocky No need to thank me, it’s not that hard to see XD
So what about the region design? Is it really as linear and lackluster as Galar was, or is it just underrated?
I played SoulSilver for the first time recently and I honestly have never struggled as much to actually finish the game. I'm not really sure why everyone likes HG/SS so much. I mean, it was fun and being able to travel to another region is awesome, but the lack of good Pokémon and that level curve didn't make me enjoy it as much as the other games.
There's a meme about gen 2 level curve.
@@gopikrishnang4871 You're acting like Pokemon Let's Go and SwSh don't have following Pokemon.
You know the funny thing is when the game first came out I beat the whole story in about six hours. I always wondered how people thought that those games were really hard.
@@gopikrishnang4871 following Pokémon was a dumb and pointless addition
Watching Truegreen7 videos is always great because they're always so wholesome even if it's about something dark like creating Pokemon from fears
gen 3 is definitely an interesting case with popularity. like i feel it's always been liked but not everyone gushes over it (outside of occasionally emerald) compared to other gens before gen 6, or maybe the die hard fans aren't as vocal as other die hard generation X fans.
Yeah gen 3 is liked and a popular generation amoung fans but the fans don't talk about how amazing gen 3 is, and I also think gen 3 fans are also some of the more nice and respectful type of fans
When it came out it was the first time where most of the people I knew stopped playing the games and stopped watching the show. It was definitely less popular when it was airing originally and the games were current.

“Gen 1 has the best designs” okay mr spearow and pidgey. They’re literally just birds
I still find pidgey appealing. But I don't like other gen 1 pokemon, like the voltorb line and golem.
Dragonite being basically the most generic western style dragon possible. Which is upsetting because Dratini and Dragonair are so gorgeous and original.
Every Generation has it's bad pokemon, ngl
The problem is that the more Pokemon are introduced, the more visible they are
Gen 1 and 5 are the ones that get the most hate in Designs, but if we speak in percentages, surely both of them woul have a similar percentage of bad Pokemon
All gens have unoriginal designs
I think that liking a Pokémon is subjective though so like you can like what ever Pokémon you like I feel that gen 5 gets a lot of crap for trubbish and vanilite lines but I personally like them and think that game freak should keep creating mons that are out of the ordinary
Ron I really agree in gen 7 being underrated. People don't like it that much due to the cutscenes and the anime art style but the anime is probabaly my favouite and gen 7 had great games
Generation 7 have great pokemon diversity.
And don’t forget about necrozma, necrozma is also one of the strongest legendaries ever created, especially ultra necrozma, ultra necrozma is a broken pokemon and it’s a dragon made up of pure light energy and ultra necrozma used it’s powers to create the entire alola region and that’s dope and I love how regular form necrozma is basically the remnants of a dragon and it’s torso is basically a dragon’s head and what makes up ultra necrozma and ultra necrozma is suitable for providing our house with lights if there’s a blackout, so yay for that I guess.
@@kerrywien6775 IKR
I liked being able to make my trainer look like me, even if they hardly emote at all in the cutscene.
Could you maybe do something like this for specific regions some time? What about calling it the "Hot Take Holiday" series?
I love that idea!
Ragging on Hoenn games for having three Water HMs is generally rather hypocritical, because the resident sacred Miltank games GSC/HGSS _also_ have three Water HMs that you need to use in the story. And while it's excessive in both games, at least in Gen III all of them are decent moves: Surf is great, Waterfall is not quite as strong but does have a handy side-effect if you're using something fast, and also becomes _the_ move for physical Water types come ORAS, and Dive isn't as good as either but opens up some interesting strats.
Gen II/IV, however, has Whirlpool. A move that is almost objectively useless.
In addition, HGSS makes this problem _bigger_ by adding Rock Climb to Mt. Silver. The final dungeon, the leadup to the final boss of the whole game, and you have to either bring an HM mule or burden one of your team with an HM.
I’m loving the morning uploads! It just the best start to for the day
My unpopular opinion is that I actually like both Hau and Hop. They were friendly rivals that had fun with their battles, and Hop's character progression was very deep and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Yeah, both of them are great. And despite what some people thinks they´re actually quite different from each other. Hau was a guy who used "having fun with pokemon battles" to not feel affected by his defeats and as an excuse to not having to think about the fact that he wasn´t strong enough to battle againts the person he admired the most. Hop on the other hand was eager to get stronger to defeat the person he admired and got affected by every single battle he lost. Both ended up discovering their own potential after the battles againts you the player. Hau gaining the determination to become a strong trainer and stop using having fun as an excuse and Hop discovering how much he liked to interact with pokemon and gaining a new dream in which he could help all of them like he did with Zacian/Zamazenta ( a legendary pokemon that recognized Hop as a worthy trainer).
I like the annoying a holes like Gary
They suck. Both of em don't push me to be better like a good rival should. Hau felt bland as hell and Hop's arc felt very uninportant in the story. I felt no sense of accomplishment when I beat them unlike the douchy rivals because Idgaf about them nor did they pose any challenge. My cinderace would've no damage swept hop's team but I needed experience so I switched to my other pokemon to finish the job.
@@insertnamehere658 um... okay?
@@LightbladeAbsol I hate hop and hau. End of story.
10:18
Thank you! More people need to talk about how sm story is better, I prefer the gameplay of usum but they just completely wrecked one of the best character arcs in Pokemon for Lillie and Lusamine
(Although ultra necrozma being moved for post game would be pretty neat 👀)
Speaking of ultra beasts i finally got a shiny Nihilego and im so happy!
Nice
Good on you, I'm going to try and get a shiny Celestia.
My favourite UB
Oh anime take. Iris wasn't a bad character. Sure she had her flaws and her annoying catchphrase but she had a decent character and story, as well as likable Pokemon. People call her "worse Misty" but in some ways, I consider her better.
Facts
Her wrestling Pokemon was enjoyable IMO.
My unpopular opnion: Misty is annoying
Fun fact: ace trainers in ultra s/m have perfect IVs
Unpopular opinion: The Exp. Share doesn't make the game easy it removes the most tedious and annoying part of all pokemon games previous to gen 6.
I somewhat agree but it’s annoying when you can’t turn it off. I liked when you could only attain one or 2 as an item cuz you still had to strategize when and who to have it on but I don’t like being able to incubate a team of full adults without any interaction personally
@@m_winewoodYou can turn it off
Have you considered taking part in the Wants To Journey Tag series that some poketubers are taking part in? It's pretty fun and would be cool to see what type of backstory/team you'd create!
Great video, I'll be waiting to hear news of a second part so I can pitch in a couple of my opinions
I love how you sound really calm n wise n kind lol
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not but sun and moon has some of the best characterisation in the franchise. lusamine is one of the best pokemon antagonists, manipulative, amazing design, unique motivation and especially her dynamic with her children. In both the games and the anime she's extremely fleshed out, seems like a friendly and eccentric women but has been driven insane by grief after her husband went missing. Also gladion is one of the best rivals in the franchise he's really likable and kind hearted also his design is amazing and especially in the anime he's damn amazing such a good guy and Lillie is one of the best characters by far she's one of my all time favourite pokemon characters so fleshed out and cute and her Anime counter part is probably the best poke girl no competition her backstory is friggen amazing.
Sorry for ranting TvT
I like how you manage to put a positive twist on a lot of these examples (though I do really want to hear some truly out there takes from you yourself)
my unpopular opinion is that i really like the bdsp style, i see people hating on it because it’s lazy but i think it’s a nice idea and i think it’s cute and charming and making it look more accessible to younger people
I don't get why they say the graffics are lazy. They literary created a complitely new style. The "lazy" choice would be to use the sword and shield graffics. Not that this would satisfy them. They didn't want the swsh, let's go, oras grafics for the remakes after all
I find it strange when someone harps on about the Aqua/Magma plans. I could rant, but to put it simply. It's a game made for little kids. Everything is simplified and exaggerated so we know that the bad guy's plans are horrible and stupid. At the same time you don't have to look far to see real world examples of what is going on in these games. A quick example is natural ponds/lakes being drained to build million dollar developments, only for flooding to happen because no one thought/cared where the water might go.
My unpopular opinion is that I actually like inanimate object Pokemon. They add a lot to the world of Pokemon, and make it feel like a true RPG similar to Dungeons and Dragons rather than some weird 'animals learned to breath fire/electricity/etc' world.
Personally I like imagining how the ones that don't even have mouths or eyebrows convey emotion.
Imo ORAS made the situation of what the evil team had done more better, as the Drought that occured showed the sky burning, the sun becoming unnaturally bright, your water-type moves being unable to be used. As for Heavy Rain, it simply becomes a rainy night here where I live.
The thing is, compared to the literal mafia, the two Thanos wannabes and Peta run by a maniac (so basically just Peta), the Gen 3 evil teams seem very poorly thought.
To me Gen 7 is one of my favorite Pokémon game mostly USUM. I know some people would say otherwise because of the hand holding and Festival Plaza and such but it really doesn't matter to me mostly because the pros out way the cons. I love the regional variants like Sandslash, I love the island challenge, Mantine surfing is fun and team Skull and Guzma is my overall favorite evil team. To me Gen 7 Is the better 3D generation game that I have the most fun with than any other game I have played but that's my opinion and I sticking by it to this day. Also my favorite Gen 7 Pokémon is Incineroar, I love the dual type of dark/fire and its look as a wrestler is badass.
same, USUM brought me back into pokemon after FRLG
I want a return of Pokemon Contests/Pokeathlon. It was just fun side quest stuff to fill your time with and I love mini games like that. Also, I think it would be fun to have a friendly rival who got more into these side quests the farther along you go into your journey and shapes his team around that passion. Your last fight with them is the deciding point that they want to give up the gym challenge and pursue what they love.
Remember when a new gen gets hated on for the first 5 years of its existence? Like literally with every gen. Then after people grow up and stopping acting like spoiled brats, the once hated gen gets placed on a pedestal as the “pinnacle” of Pokémon. If you don’t believe me just look into it, you will see that every gen got trashed at first and then exalted. We are currently in the exalting phase of gen 4, 5. Where as five years ago, they were despised. In 5 years, sun and moon will get the respect they deserve:)
Unpopular opinion: SwSh is decent (better than the original versions of D/P) and the DLC was a good way to deal with the 3rd version problem.
The only problem that SwSh has that no other game in the series has is the NatDex fiasco, and even that was done on a smaller scale in Gen 3. People even were really excited for the game when it was announced until the NatDex was revealed.
Honestly after the DLC the natdex didn’t matter that much imo. Ya there’s some cool Pokémon that didn’t make it but so many were added back I think only the main group I’d really want in are the starters. Other than that a lot of cut Pokémon I can live without.
@@nate9962 Yeah same. There are some Pokemon that I miss, but most I can do without. Besides most Pokemon I missed the most came back in the DLC
Were there any exciting mini-games? That's a huge selling point for me and it's what I remember Diamond and Pearl for.
@@TuesdaysArt D/P had Poffin making, the best version of Contests, and the Underground.
8:10 I agree so much with this! While I absolutely hate the story because it’s written like 5 year olds are meant to be the target audience, it’s a BEAUTIFUL game and BEAUTIFUL region :]
The reason why the English translation is so god awful is because it was the ONLY Pokémon game to be released internationally on the same date, meaning the other translations were rushed, and thus simplified.
yooo its been along time since i watched truegreen77 i feel nostalgic :D i remember watching when i was a kid
I don't think Lance is that cool, he has a lame design and was mostly a flying master. I felt Steven pulled off his look better as the confident and mature master.
Lance fucking sucks, so I agree.
I kind of think that's the point. The only people who thinks Lance is really that cool are shallow people(in the Pokemon universe, not necessarily IRL) and Lance himself. At the very least his character is a really super nice guy.
Be honest, both steven and lance were the weakest, champions with an unbalanced team, lance was too weak to ice and on its rematch its even weaker to it, and steven is too weak to ground or fighting. Both of their teams had terrible coverage and the only thing carrying them both were their strongest mons absolutely one shotting with a above 100 power stab move.
@@gamesnig Steven at least had some synergies, as meh as they might be, along stuff like Spikes and Toxic on Skarmory and Dual Screens on Claydol. In fact, those two shut down the types you said destroy him, and Cradily gives trouble to Water types.
Meanwhile Lance is just "haha hyper beam go boom" a gen late. His team is actually terrible.
Got so happy when I saw the thumbnail. I have loved Pokémon sense I was three when my dad friend had wierd Japanese Chanel’s on his tv and I destincly remember watching the episode where ash beats Brock. But I was always to young to play the games beacus we don’t speak English as a first language here, until sun and moon so I bought the games whit my own money and I loved it. And ultra moon is because of that the best Pokémon games I have ever played cus it captures that feeling but still have some differences.
I didn’t like sapphire first time around but it’s grown on me over the years

5- X and Y are nice but honestly forgettable
6- I don't mind linearity

@@Talkin-fr0g yeah that's true
I only realised recently that some people complained that Pokémon was too easy while playing on switch mode... I mean, It still is too easy on set, but come ooooon.
I always play on set mode
People play on Switch Mode?
Switch mode is absolutely busted. No idea why it exists. Probably because of Game Freak's adamant belief that children are all irredeemable morons and can't handle the slightest real challenge. Sad
@1ts2EZ i do play only in switch mode and im 32. I just like to be prepared what comes at me. Set mode makes you loose needlessly hp.
@@wildresin6292 yea, it does make you loose needless hp. That’s the point, to make the game harder, you need to weigh switching for a better matchup, or staying in to beat it with a neutral or weak Pokémon.
The intro never gets old :) That *NOSTALGIC* Do To DoDoDo Dododo Tot
There could be a potential fix to the mandatory exp share. Pokemon could encorporate level capping. This would (hopefully) eliminate grinding and you would be able to still use your favorite pokemon without worrying about them being too over leveled.

Sleep with one eye open.
Depends on which way you sleep
You're basically saying no one can can have an opinion different than yours
That thumbnail is true though, lol. In all seriousness though, I like every mainline Pokémon game, but the Johto games were my least favorite and the Alola games were my fave.
Who cares how you sleep
Unpopular Opinion:
In Sw/Sh, that one Police Officer in a hotel that unlocks after you beat Leon was really fun and hard, and I don’t know why no-one ever talks about him. A game like XD with all the battles being double battles would be harder, and shake up the formula, so I think that is what they should do in the game after Legends:Arceus.
i didn't know that trainer existed. Imma go look for him, not that i think he stands a chance against a level 100 team...
@@laurensprungl7722 I lost to him with a level 60+ team after beating the whole game with no Whiteouts, and I only used Items in the Nessa and Leon Fights. He’s pretty cool.
Simply put, "Plot" is the sequence of events. When combined with "Characters" and "Setting(s)," they form a "Story."
Unpopular opinion: gen 2 and 4 are extremely overrated games, while every other gen just gets ignored to death.
Another unpopular opinion: Kukui is the best champion in Pokemon
Gen 2 is overrated, Sinnoh fans are just really happy and can express their love for their region. The same thing happened in 2014 when #HoennConfirmed was a thing.
#AllHailKukui
I can kind of agree with both of you, honestly. Maybe not as extreme as “every other gen gets ignored to death, since even X and Y has some fans, but yeah, Johto is VERY overrated, or at least was.

I'm not sure if this is one, but Inteleon is one of my favorite Pokemon. I love how cool and confident it is, and a lot of the physical traits it has that people say are too humanoid are actually found in its origins, the chameleon and the basilisk lizard. For example, its hands are like basilisk hands without claws.
Yo same!!! My man doesn't deserve the hate😭😭😭
I'm so glad I have an Inteleon on my team, it became one of my favorite Galar Pokemon.
One thing I always see people bashing Gen 5's Pokemon design. I can't seem to hate any Gen 5 Pokemon. I like them all.
Fr tho i don't get the hate.
Unpopular opinion: Theres no such thing as too many legendaries. Especially in generation 5 - It makes sense especially at a different location in the world
You should give SWSH a try then, especially with the DLC... There's a metric butt load of legendaries added by the DLC, both new and old.
I recently bought both DLC for Pokémon Sword and Shield. Now, I love 💕 galar even more. The crown tundra is cool 😎 for exploration. As of now, galar is my favorite 😍 region. Why ?
Because there’s tons of new areas to explore in the postgame, such ruins, dungeons, caves, etc to explore that mainland galar is lacking and now that I have accessed the DLC, I’m guaranteed that I’m going to give
galar a 5 star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.
Pokémon Sword and Shield also have a great storyline which makes it great 😊 for the fleshed out/well written characters.
@WhinyDogFish Thanks so much mate, because I just really love galar so much and why I personally think that galar is the best region in Pokémon and I personally don’t understand people who actually hates
galar, galar is really huge and explorable to me. And I wanted another DLC for Pokémon Sword and Shield to revisit kalos in a possible Third DLC because Pokémon Sword and Shield is just a masterpiece.
@WhinyDogFish Yeah, Pokémon Sword and Shield could have been the best Pokémon Games if the wild area is reduced to make more routes because galar have only 10 routes in total, so reducing the wild area would create 5 more routes in route 11-route 15 in galar to
create route 11, route 12, route 13, route 14 and even route 15 in galar and to create more optional areas to explore in the main game and more postgame areas in mainland galar to explore in the postgame.
@WhinyDogFish The wild area is great, but most of the areas is so incomplete, but the isle of armor and crown tundra improves the wild area, so yeah, Pokémon Sword and Shield are definitely better than Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Yellow. I hate Generation 6. And Generation 1 is the worst Generation because it’s the First Generation, I haven’t played it, but from what I know, Everyone hates Generation 1 is so bad, the glitches are bad, little postgame, Generation 1 is so bad that I won’t play it.
That thumbnail gives me life
I was super hyped for gen 7. It's honestly so much better than Gen 8 for me. I was kinda sad it was gonna end when gen 8 came along lol it was cool that it was on the 3ds when the switch was dominating at the time haha

I never noticed how little subscribers John had until I saw his Twitter user name, he definitely deserves at least 1 million subscribers
Love the new music at the start
I think it’s new
The best thing about this channel is its always positive.
I think Sceptile became popular after Explorers of Time and Darkness. Grovyle was a pivotal character in the games and I remember a lot of my friends gaining a new appreciation for Sceptile family. The DS Lite was still the main console at the time so I would assume a lot of people went back to R/S/E and ended up picking Treeko.
I remember Grovyle being incredibly popular when I was younger.
My biggest underrated belief is...
I think the galar national dex cut was good. My reasoning is that in galar I got to use a mix of new Pokémon and old ones that have been overlooked. It allows old Pokémon that were ignored to get a chance to shine outside of just the dex completion. I could use some really cool Pokémon there that I have never used before and never thought I would.
That's understandable. I used Maractus, a Pokemon I always joked about being forgotten recently and now it's one of my favourite Unova mons. I just think it was a really bad decision to have it be implemented in the first main series console game.
I think Sceptile's popularity shift came when it got a Mega during the XY anime, which was one of the most hype arcs in Pokemon, A LOT of people came back to watch it just because Ash was looking like he had a promising shot at champion. Like you, I always liked Sceptile before, I got Ruby as my first game after only watching the anime as a kid for the first three regions so I picked Treecko because I saw Ash one and so that's how Treecko became my first ever Pokemon lol
Hot take, making the exp share always on in swsh is waaay better then having it as something you can toggle on or off. This meant gamefreak could actually balance the game knowing exactly how much exp an average player would be having at each point. Instead of having to design every fight keeping in mind that a player that has played through the entire game without ever using the exp share should also be able to beat it.
Unpopular opinion: gen 4 is WAY to overrated and gen 6 is underrated.
Dp are incomplete games and Platinum is just good at the end of the game. While gen 6 is ok in every aspect that is not characters (becouse them SUCK) and the lore (becouse it's awesome)
Completely agree! Gen 4 is way overrated. It's mainly because tons of people 1st Pokemon games were Diamond/Pearl and they can't take off the rose tinted glasses. I grew up with Red and Blue but even I know those games are crap. I have nostalgia for them but they are definitely not the best games.
Why does the pokemon community have to be so negative?
@@zubair-rp1ie if you search for you can find people that talk positively about any aspects that you want. But asking your question, it mainly is becouse it's a comunity with a LOT of disagreements between the fans
One underrated thing about sword and shield is how it had both rivals; the jackass (Bede) and the friendly one (Hop)

Unpopular opinion:
Emboar is awesome. A lot of people seem to dislike Emboar because: it’s the third Fire/Fighting type starter, it’s outclassed by Blaziken and Infernape (mostly because of its lower speed stat), and it has a bad design. Though the speed stat thing is true, Emboar shouldn’t be just written off as it has really good offensive stats (123 Attack and 100 Special Attack) as well as HP (110), and it has an amazing move pool. That and it has an awesome design. What other Pokémon has a literal fire beard?

3) Several well written and thought out characters
4) Quite a few good pokemon designs (not all are winners but both box legends were fantastic and it introduced several wildly popular and useful Pokemon)
5) Incredible music that can be changed via player interaction
6) Changing routes based on seasons increasing replayability and post game content
It is not without merits and while it does have a few things not perfectly executed the Gen V games are actually rather good and fun to play through having been personal favorites of mine.
@@dylankersten7873 1) the story is ok at best by now's video game standards.
2) doesn't all gens 4, 5 and 6 have new animations? Granted, gen 6's animations do get reused but it eas new at the time. Also, not a fan of moving sprites. Too pixelated.
