"You're standing up? Instead of keeping your feet on the ground like a normal animal you're standing up?!" Pawmo: "I can't punch the shit out of you without taking my paws off the ground."
TinkaTink and the rest of her line are prime examples of just getting stronger but staying small and cute. Her hammer sucked up all the "bigger, badder, edgier" energy that most other evolutions go through.
Except Pawmot gets more hair whereas we've gotten less hairy as time goes on. As a side tangent I would love for a two line evolution of a monkey pokemon and its evolution just stands as a reference to that Darwinism graphic.
Yeah, that really took me aback. As a kid, I always thought the OG Raichu looked cool (though I prefer Alolan Raichu, these days) but I never understood the unbridled hatred people had for it. Especially when evolving Pikachu was totally optional. 😂
I initially hated the evolution designs, it's just Pawmi standing up but honestly having to walk with Pawmo to evolve it to Pawmot make me love this pokemon. And like Miko said, it's still cute!
To be fair, Slowpoke also stands up. At least Slowking looks more unique than Slowbro. But hey, Pawmi is cute. What if Gamefreak didn't want to change him a lot because of that? XD
The majority of the jp community wants them to be humanoid though.. just like they want school girls in every anime. They deliver what they want most. Almost 50% of the record 10m in 3days sale came from Japan alone after all.
The divide between the JP and the western community is pretty Stark, innit? Westerners want the quadrupeds to stay quadrupeds, and vice versa, meanwhile, JP wants more Furries.
being cute is subjective so some people might find things that aren’t cute cute. So if you don’t like what something cute evolves into, that’s on you. It’s just a fact.
Im so used to Miko's voice that that first "eh" felt like it came from the bottom of her soul, a true dreaded and heartfelt shaking of faith due to ugly evolution ptsd
Great work with the English text over the game! I really thought she played the game in English before reading the video description. Thanks for translating this!
Pichu tried too hard, is the problem. Reminds me of the story of when they were designing 'baby Yoda' for The Mandalorian. They said their first designs were way too cute, and they ended up making him uglier and uglier until he was just the right amount of ugly and cute. I can guarantee that if they'd made him too cute he wouldn't have been nearly as popular as he ended up being. Not that pikachu is ugly, just that there's such a thing as trying too hard to make something cute that actually sabotages the perceived cuteness.
The Pawmi line is...something. Especially because Pawmot will bust your gut clean open and feel nothing, especially if you roll an Ability Patch in post-game...
That's a really good point from Miko, wondering why nothing ever evolves just to be just as cute? There should be more like Popplio's line. Not everything should become big and intimidating in some way.
To be fair, not everything needs to stay cute either. Domestication tends to favour such features but the natural world can discard neotenic features if deemed insufficient for survival.
I agree. That's one of the reasons I love the Goodra line so much. It starts out cute, and stays cute, despite becoming a badass once it's fully evolved. The Pawmi line has that same appeal, only it stays small. Not that I'm saying everything that starts cute should stay cute, only that more Pokemon should stay cute.
I think some things should become even more monstrous while others should stay the same or even become prettier or cuter. For the most part though you want consistency. You don't want your adorable little buddy to become a Gyarodos level monster outta nowhere. Losing the original design is the big issue.
@@swordkingx4874 I have mad respect for people who shiny hunt. I know that shinies seem to appear more common in this game but I could never hunt for them in previous games due to the commitment and how many hours it can take.
Miko: I want you to stay the same
Pawmi: *Literally* *just* *stands* *up*
Well, I guess she got her wish.
Oh my goodness, I burst out laughing when Miko yelled, "THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE!" She is so consistently hilarious!
Even the final isn’t that different.

@@ivandekad7249 sup literary bro. You literally (literarily?) triggered school memories with that line.
when pokemon evolving : "will he stand up?"
when digimon evolving : "will he have laserbeam machinegun?'
More like "will it be a human or a beast"
@@yiledute the answer to that sometimes is. Yes.
@@PK_Scratch not sometimes all the time
Alternatively “Will he ascend into an angelic being out of the Old Testament?”

Hey, sometimes I feel like I have evolved just getting out of bed. Don't shame the poor boi
@@pj-wille mood
In the real world, that's a pretty major step in evolution 😛
"You're standing up? Instead of keeping your feet on the ground like a normal animal you're standing up?!"

@@cocoduck7745 Listen true perfection isn't up for debate xD
Fortunately for her, this line stays cute.

Miko's respect for Raichu is the true highlight of this clip. Love to see it.
Raichu is cuter than Pikachu.
@@porkcutlet3920 Only Alolan Raichu
Based fellow Raichu fan

Wait till you find out how to get it to the last evolution.

@@Gins. I need to stop posting while sleep depraved.
Oh you have to walk with Pawmo to evolve it? I guess I just did that without knowing it was the trigger.
"A cool Raichu" Mad respect to the overlooked mouse!
People in 1996: Oh cool look Bulbasaur is evolving. I'm so excited. Oh wow ivysaur looks cool
People in 2022: "Just dont stand up please!!!"
Furry ptsd intensifies
And "stay cute!"

What's funny is that this is what most people hate about certain evolutions, but for her it was the saving grace
"will he stand up though?"
Jihakachu: what about thats the only thing i do?
Im so used to Miko's voice that that first "eh" felt like it came from the bottom of her soul, a true dreaded and heartfelt shaking of faith due to ugly evolution ptsd
"Will it stand up though?" ...I felt that down to my CORE
I love Pawmo. The defibrilator/CPR theme is really cute for a fighting/electric type. I just imagine it rubs it’s cheeks before shocking you.
Hey isn’t this the one that-
“THERES NO DIFFERENCE!”
-barely changes…
Thank you for the overlay edit. very nicely done.
Corporate needs you to tell the difference between these two pictures.
"かわんねー!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like Jikahachu barely changed, deliberately,
just to help Miko through her PTSD. That’s so sweet!!
That first "Eh?" was so deep
Lil guy was literally like: Stands up: mmm yes i have evolved.
I like how they're all wondering if the evolved form of anything will stand up or not.
Nice work with editing the scribble in word bubble, and the desk slam. Thank you for the translations, and the cute clip!
"There's no difference!"
Yep, sums up this games evolutions in a nutshell
Pawmo standing up be like
*"OK I PULL UP"*
I can definitely relate. Bunnelby is cute, but his evolved form makes him look like a Discord mod.
Time for the Mindy strat for Miko.
Lil bro literally just stood up, nothing changed.
Dunsparce comes to mind
above and beyond effort with the overlay, thanks for that
The sound she made 0:02 😂😂
Great work with the English text over the game! I really thought she played the game in English before reading the video description.
Thanks for translating this!
I like how she predicted exactly what happens without meaning to at all.
"Will he stand up" yes, that's literally all he does
Pokemon evolves
Miko - there's no difference.
Syobon tutorial ends
Miko - eh?
She will go crazy when it evolution again and it just gets more hair lol
Miko: Please stay cute
Pawmi: I will
Miko: *SHOCKED*
Yes! This is what I want! Pokemon that stay cute even when they evolve.
You know what they say becareful what you wish for because you just might get it. Though she seems to have no regrets with that wish.
The fear of cute first forms turning into walking furries is universal I guess lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Nope!
And then there's the chad Fuecoco line that does it in reverse, although Skeledirge can rear up just fine when using Torch Song.
Aww that was the cutest breakdown I ever seen
0:45 Nice editing.
The fact that Pawmi stays cute is the reason it become my defacto starter
yeah and the typing is one of the best typing in pokemon with 7 advantage and 4 disadvantage
that was scarlet/violets biggest sin:
cute stage 1 into disgusting evolutions
The “EH?” and the “NO DIFFERENCE” got me
Pichu being the base form and arguably cuter than Pikachu didn't really catch on huh.
There’s nothing cuter than Pikachu
Yeah but Pikachu predates pichu soo
I want to eat pichu whole
Pichu tried too hard, is the problem. Reminds me of the story of when they were designing 'baby Yoda' for The Mandalorian.

@@rendezvousonmemorylane Wooper exists, so you're wrong on that.
for those wondering if there is a difference
Other than standing up
It actually gets bigger.
Miko: Please stay cute...
N!ntendo: We don't do that here
"Will it stand up?"
Oh yeah. It'll stand up. That's the only thing it's gonna do.
Cant wait for her reaction when pawmo evolving
First she has to figure it out
That laugh was the correct response. This was such a joy to watch.
This makes me wonder what pikachu would have been localized as.
You just gotta love the reaction queen
It's literally the "I GET UP!!" meme part of that 80s song. 🤣
ain't that shiny gastly in the backgroud?
The Pawmi line is...something. Especially because Pawmot will bust your gut clean open and feel nothing, especially if you roll an Ability Patch in post-game...
Miko : I got Pawmo
Pomu : You call?
That's a really good point from Miko, wondering why nothing ever evolves just to be just as cute? There should be more like Popplio's line. Not everything should become big and intimidating in some way.

This is why i absolutely adore the tinkaton line. Its cute all throughout while actually still becoming a big badasa
That poor Gastly on the background floating under the rain...
Ironically it's design and the minimal differences in evolution actually feel like they'd fit in pretty well with gen 1.
ARE YOU GONNA STAND UP OR NOT?!?! Truly the one fear of every Pokemon player lol
I love how the "Don't Stand Up" thing is global. :D
Game: Your pokemon is gonna evolve
Player: But is it gonna stay up?
Game:...........
Player: it's gonna stand......isn't it....
"will it stand up though?"
Iiterally every girl has said this now
0:02 - Miko's turtle mating call
i agree these the type of evolutions we want for starters
I really like Pawmot, I think it's still SUPER cute as it evolves.
Meanwhile in the background there's what looks like a shiny Gastly floating about
Dang, I didn't even recognize the shiny Gastly in the background since I was too busy looking at Miko's reaction lol. Good eye
Thank you.
I'm a shiny hunter so I have to have a good eye
@@swordkingx4874 I have mad respect for people who shiny hunt. I know that shinies seem to appear more common in this game but I could never hunt for them in previous games due to the commitment and how many hours it can take.
She had an early life, midlife and lare life crisis in the span of a minute.
Miko: "Please stay Cute."
GameFreak: "Nope, now look at em stand on two feet."
pawmi got to do both
I just learned right now that there are a bunch of official Pikachu knockoffs.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way when playing evolution games.
nice pokemon that remains relatively the same throughout its evolutions, which is nice.
“This is the kind of evolution we wanted for starters”
She was referring to a Pokémon who went from 4 legs to two…
I wonder what her reaction to Pawmot will be
The first time I saw it, it reminded me of Golden Sun and I think it looks like a JRPG protagonist
Just wait until she sees it's final form, it's basically a completely different pokemon
Dont underestimate standing evolution, Standing literally makes the difference between monke and human
It was even raining, imagine if it had evolved into a monstrosity, the scene was set for it and everything
Nice editing
Yo: y cuál es tu evolución?
El: **se levanta**
Pretty sure ppl.want starters to stay on all fours and not stand up
elite PANIK
Does her yell brings back war flashbacks.
Wait until she realises it evolves a second time
Bro just really went
*_"I GET UP"_*
Surely she had some idea, or did chat tell her how to evolve it?
It just stands up.
Get little bigger
I feel like this line could’ve been a two stager lol
"THERES NO DIFFERENCE!!!" I lost my shit at that
These days its all about whether it stands or not
1:10
I mean, you got your wish...
Yeah, grows like 2 inches and stands up.
Basically went from baby to toddler.
It literally stood up and choose violence
I literally imagining this entire video as an anime and I can't stop laughing.
Just got bigger and stood up.
