Ultra Necrozma was literally one of the coolest things they’ve made and then immediately acted like it never happened, I still feel like they could’ve just kept the Z crystal in future games to access the form by holding it obviously without the mega nuke attack
I feel like it's an easy fix. They just need to add a new transformation item for Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma. You hold the 'Fullbright Crystal' or something and it changes form the same as the Griseous Orb for Giratina.
@@Zynnix Heck, the Tera Mechanic could have been used for it (since crystalline light dragon bursting with more crystal and light). It would have also added a weakness to Ultra Necrozma - If you see a Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings on the opposing team, it means you can far more safely guess which Pokemon will Terastallize, eliminating a surprise option
What sucks about Ultra Necrozma is that unless you got that Japan exclusive event, you will never, EVER, see the Ultra form shiny since base Necrozma was shiny locked until Gen 8. And it sucks for me because I did get the shiny one from Gen 8.
They could've literally just made the Z-Crystal available to change its form while saying something like "Oh it cannot use its Z-Move outside of Alola because of the energy field there" or some nonsense

Another Pokemon form that you can no longer use or more specifically see anymore is Eternamax Eternatus. Dude had the highest base stat total in the series clocking in at 1125 BST where you couldn't even Eternamax in it's own game because of how strong it is and had to be restricted to only showing in it's signature move, Eternabeam. But now with the release of Scarlet and Violet and Pokemon Home compatibility, while Eternatus is transferrable, you can no longer use Eternabeam in-battle since Dynamax isn't possible in the Paldea Region.
@@ImJustBag Something like that happened before pure hackmons was removed. I think it was defences instead of HP, and by having 0 defence it was equivalent to an extremely high defence so it took like no damage from either physical or special attacks, depending on how you trained it.

Id rather they just bring back Necrozma’s z moves and just rework it to function like the griseous orb rather than add more needless bloat to the item pool. Its bad enough that the griseous orb in SV form change effect got gutted out and slapped on the griseous core because gamefreak decided to bloat the item pool for stupid reasons.
I can't believe someone actually mentioned Minior being absent, they're literally my favorite pokemon but it seems like every person on the planet has forgotten they exist lmao
I actually went out of my way to shiny hunt Minior in Ultra Sun so I could truly have "all the colours". I love Pokemon like Minior, Floette and Squakabilly that have variant colour forms to collect.
This makes me think of Koraidon and Miraidon. In ORAS you can trade/release/transfer your Latios/Latias and still be able to soar, but in SV you can't even put your ride Pokemon in a box properly. Or if you're trying to have them in your party and you want to use them as a vehicle they get taken out of your party and have to tediously put them back manually. GameFreak probably won't make them transferrable in the future, which would be a shame because that's the bike lizard you befriend in the story. Sure the game gives you a second one, but I think we all traded it with a friend to get the other legendary (I know I did)
While I don't know precisely how it's presented in ORAS, who's to say that the one you soar on has to be the same one? You could call a different Latias/Latios instead. That kind of excuse just doesn't work with the ride Koraidon/Miraidon, since there isn't that kind of supply, with only two present.
@@TheRedSmarty the way it's explained in ORAS is that your bond is so strong with the Latias or Latios that they come and find you no matter what when you need them. And when you want to soar, an animation plays of the Pokemon flying to you and your character getting on its back. As opposed to that, the SV ride Pokemon is instantaneous, but I think player convenience should override logic. ESPECIALLY if using your ride Pokemon in battle is so tedious, I really don't like the way they did that in SV
It would be really cool if they eventually did a Legends Hoenn where the Primal forms of the two legendaries are available as standard forms that can be caught and maintained in that form and transferred to Home as such.
I don't think it's retconed? Just exclusive to Ash now entirely..Last episode I saw with Geninja and Ash's Lucario did include Ash Greninja from what I remember (and that's why Ash visited him, to help get closer to Lucario and train Lucario).
For y’all to know, ash greninja(the form they take when bonded), was not in the newest anime, they got replaced a image of ash greninja with a normal one, they never show the bond phenomenon again
I actually think the Partner Pikachu might be something that’s pretty scary actually if he could be transferred to the new games specifically because of the Light Ball. He’d have 160 base Attack, 150 base Sp. Attack, and 120 base Speed. He would lose his item slot which is kinda devastating, but he could definitely have quite a nice glass canon build to him, especially if he was allowed to keep his special Partner moves for coverage. Eevee has the better moves, but I think she probably wouldn’t fair as well unfortunately with no real statline to take advantage of it. Perhaps she could be used as a setup pokemon, but even then she’s too frail for that so it would be quite gimmicky.
You're wrong, Partner Pikachu (P.Chu) would be better ALL ITEMS THAT BOOST STATS, BOOST THE ACTUAL STAT NOT THE BASE STAT A Lonley, 31 IV, 252 EV P.chu has 284 ATk which when doubled with Light Ball is 568 which is about 209 BASE ATK Hell Light ball P.chu would have 190/190/120 Offenses pretty much Give it support via Tapu Lele and/or Sticky Web, Yeah you got a dastardly combo my friend
@@Uranium-jj7leactuallu, you dont need Tapu Lele that much Of Zippy Zap keeps its effects from Gen 8 (electric E.Speed + evasion boost), Pikachu could just spam that with the help of redirection or in singles Shed tail and voala You get a pikachu that hits you but you cant hit back
There were a lot of bullshit excuses for Dexit. The one that broke me was "You just want to transfer your 100s and steamroll our story". Shield saw me use no new Mons, overgrind to 100 before the 7th badge, and rage-release Eternatus when I wasn't allowed to skip that catch. I also didn't use Dynamax until postgame _and_ tried to one-shot story maxes.
Ultra Necrozma is the only reason I go back to play Gen 7. A true shame GF is to cowardly to bring him back. It doesn't even need to be Z Crystals, just give it an Orb or something that transforms Necrozma upon entering battle. What is so hard about that?
The same reason Greninja lost his transformation, because it’s pretty much a mega, a massive stat boost happening in the middle of a fight alongside a change in appearance
Fr though a Grass/Dragon regional variant of Serperior would be 🔥 Draco Meteor + Contrary Ability would actually be competitively viable Or, how about this, a Grass/Fighting regional variant with bulkier stats and status changing moves in Leaf Storm, Close Combat, Hammer Arm AND Superpower?! Paired with its Contrary ability and it can boost its Atk, Sp.atk, Sp.def, Def AND Speed! Serperior would go from OU to Ubers overnight!
Man, it sure would suck if smeargle joined these deleted pokemon in never coming back Id truly hate to never have to see this lovely, totaly not infuriating guy again
There's truly no greater crime than the execution of Ultra Necrozma. It's my utter favorite Pokémon of all time and has one of my favorite stories for a legendary ever since the rivalry of Rayquaza and Deoxys. Seeing this god of light, the Pokémon that might actually be able to give Arceus's smaller avatar a run for its money, being reduced to a literal husk of its former glory makes me so sad.
my hot take is i think the primals are cool if we got more cracked forms for older legendries for other weathers so each weather had a cracked Pokémon for that team type
Partner Eevee was a literal busted candyshop in the main game. You can travel to each town depending on what coverage moves you needed for the challenges ahead in the next towns and those teachers were FREE. Then you get the Mega Stones midway through the game. Finally you can choose which moves you want on Eevee to handle some of Elite 4 members apart from the rest of your team.
I actually replayed alpha Sapphire and always took the cosplay Pikachu on my journey. This was good for the earlier part of the game and when I found the light ball it just absolutely carried most of the journey and swept through most teams. Love this thing (I always used Belle form because ice move on an electric type was just stupid)
ultra necrozma is the most infuriating of the cut ones because they literally just could've kept it as a held item and it would make it like power construct for zygarde where when it reaches a certain health threshold it trigger's power construct and makes it go into it's complete form
I was looking at a article, wondering why marshadow couldn't be in Scarlet is Violet, because the two other mythicals in it were Volcanion and magearna, magerna being from the same generation as Marshadow. It always made me sad that marshadow can't get into the game unless it's going to be added later in the future, but until then they're stuck in their generation and Sword and Shield.
Here are some extra Pokemon that are stuck forever, Some of the Totem sized Pokemon in Ultra Sun and Moon, Spinda caught in BDSP due to a bug, and the Legendary at the start in Scarlet and Violet.
As despairing as it may seem, I still hope and wait for the return of discontinued Pokémon forms. At this point I don’t even care if you change their stats, just bring them back in some form.
Zippy zap should be reworked and disturbed to all electric types We really need a priority electric type move, if all the let’s go moves were reworked and given to more Pokemon I’d love that. Just like with legends arecus and headlong rush etc
I'd be totally OK if they just brought back the ultranecrozium z JUST so we can have ultra necrozma back. Gamefreak I'm begging you it's such a cool pokemon please do something at least
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast I think freeing up ultra necrozma's item slot would be too overpowered for competitive, so I think a held item like arceus would work well. I do NOT want to think about what choice spec ultra necrozma would be capable of...
@@BlazingJ972 I mean by gen 10 that strategy would be RU worthy with how bad powercreep’s been lately. But yes, a held item would be better, but in gen 7 the held item also allowed it to use its Z-move.
I still have my save data with my Spiky Eared Pichu. I transferred up most of my other pokemon from HG to 5th gen. And was sad when I saw that I couldn't bring it up too. I will never delete that save data to play through that game because I refuse to abandon the little girl.
I feel that so hard. Sun & Moon being one of my favorite gens overall & Necrozma (especially ultra form) is one of my top 10 favs design wise. I have drawn so much fan art of that silly dragon, he's so cute in my opinion. I just wish they would bring him back somehow. Maybe through a legendary like the thereon mirror
11:16 As someone who relatively recently started laddering on showdown in VGC I kinda want Smeargle back in the DLCs just so that I can get to know what all this fuss is about because the collective fear everyone seems to have of Smeargle is funny.
It has Spore, every single hazard, Baton Pass, every single setup move, etc It learns literally every move through Sketch so it can even learn Judgement or Behemoth Blade (Smeargle also spammed Darkrai's Dark Void so mjuch in VGC that it was banned from using it and Darkrai got its only good thing nerfed to oblivion)
Moody + spore is the main thing. It can just decide to speed or defense boost the right way and sleep your entire team, it can also have whatever other support moves it wants so it can be very disruptive. Just a very annoying high variance mon.
Video was perfectly fine. I even liked and checked out more videos, but the title of this video needed a comma because when I read the title, I was confused. 😂😂
They should have just brought the Z-crystal back as a key item that lets necrozma change form. Then it can hold an item since it'd be nerfed without being able to change form mid-battle, plus no z-move.
The easy solution would be if Genius Sonority or someone else made a new Stadium-type game with all 1000+ Pokémon without having to make big open worlds. Everyone would get their faves back, a classic side series would be revived from dormancy, and TPC can make buttloads of cash and they can keep updating it to add new mons as the core games introduce them.
Cosplay Pikachu is also interesting because Pikachu Libre appeared in not just Pokken but also Smash Ultimate as a pallet Swap of the Selene hat Pikachu (which itself is a model swap of Pikachu like Louie or the Koopalings as a pikachu's tail indicates if its male or female, though they probably just swapped out the tail to save time).
Another Pokemon form you can no longer use is Arcues Legendary form. It was introduced in Pokemon Legends Arceus as the 19th Arceus form. In this game, there are 18 tables to choose what type form for Arceus, but once you capture Arceus, it gives you a 19th table that transforms Arcues into Normal type. The difference between Legendary table normal Arcues and Normal table Arcues is that in this form, his signature is super effective against any Pokemon regarded of the type. On the other 18 forms (including normal), the signature move uses the type of the form. This form is not included in Scarlet and Violet.
As a newer player of pokemon, really only getting into it truly for Scarlet and Violet. Megastones and Dynamax is so doperinos. Like Terastilization is aight, and can do some pretty cool things, but man those are just so much more flashy and dope. I hope the next gens thing is more along those lines than the zmoves or tera.
You know what else I'm curious about? What the hell is going on with Deoxys? It hasn't really been around since it sort of went missing as a mythical pokemon back during the 20th anniversary celebrations. Every other mythical got promotional art and cards and stuff themed monthly, but Deoxys was skipped over likely because it was available in-game in OR/AS and so it had me and a lot of other people wondering if it was even a mythical pokemon at all anymore if it was catchable in-game. It's mythical status got called into question. Of course then Keldeo would go on to be catchable in Sw/Sh and that's still mythical... I think. Since then, Deoxys has only been compatible in BD/SP as a transfer pokemon, but that's it. Completely missing from the main series even when all the other mythicals haven't been. I still have a shiny one from Pokemon Go that I'm waiting to bring into a current game but it's just forever locked out it seems.
I really pray for Mega-Evolutions to make a comeback. It was such a great concept and made alot of overlooked Pokémon at least usable again. (Beedrill my beloved!) You did sacrifice the item slot for it, which is a perfectly fine trade-off. (Mega-rayquaza ccan stay at home though.. or need a Rayquazanite, because that thing is broken) The whole Dex-cut was a main reason why i did not make the jump to the Switch-games. (That and blatant lying, terrible quality of the games and waaay too much handholding/taking agency away from the player)
I miss them all (minus the Partner Pikachu + Eevee because I never played Let's GO nor did I ever consider them truly mainline games). Like, I believe in making adjustments to make them less menacing while also believing in balancing the games without needing to nix huge assets. For example, sure, make Ash-Greninja not have its massive stats and make it a temp stat boost, but at least keep its form AND the boosted Water Shurikken. Make comp rules that explicitly exclude specific Pokémon because, maybe-just maybe, I want to use Ultra Necrozma to nuke raids because they are just slogs to grind through. Modern Pokémon defenders spiel on about how the current games reduced grind while simultaneously introducing a new monotonous grind for resources, from gen 8's Max mushrooms and candies to gen 9's terra shards

I love Pokemon like Minior, Floette and Squakabilly that have variant colour forms to collect.
This makes me think of Koraidon and Miraidon. In ORAS you can trade/release/transfer your Latios/Latias and still be able to soar, but in SV you can't even put your ride Pokemon in a box properly. Or if you're trying to have them in your party and you want to use them as a vehicle they get taken out of your party and have to tediously put them back manually. GameFreak probably won't make them transferrable in the future, which would be a shame because that's the bike lizard you befriend in the story. Sure the game gives you a second one, but I think we all traded it with a friend to get the other legendary (I know I did)
Personally i played the entire game for a second time to get a third miraidon and then traded that one for the koraidon
While I don't know precisely how it's presented in ORAS, who's to say that the one you soar on has to be the same one? You could call a different Latias/Latios instead.
That kind of excuse just doesn't work with the ride Koraidon/Miraidon, since there isn't that kind of supply, with only two present.
@@TheRedSmarty the way it's explained in ORAS is that your bond is so strong with the Latias or Latios that they come and find you no matter what when you need them. And when you want to soar, an animation plays of the Pokemon flying to you and your character getting on its back. As opposed to that, the SV ride Pokemon is instantaneous, but I think player convenience should override logic. ESPECIALLY if using your ride Pokemon in battle is so tedious, I really don't like the way they did that in SV
@@regojozsa Okay, that makes sense.
Yup… But I do have a transferrable Koraidon now so there’s that.
I absolutely love the idea of just a random eevee running havoc with all the status and barrier setups
YOO I DIDNT REALISE YOU WERE ANOTHER NECROZMA LOVER
It would be really cool if they eventually did a Legends Hoenn where the Primal forms of the two legendaries are available as standard forms that can be caught and maintained in that form and transferred to Home as such.
What saddens me about Ash Greninja more is that not only is his ability Retconed in Scarlet and Violet, but the anime retconed the form as well ;-;
WHAT?!
...wait, the _anime_ got rid of Full Synchro Greninja?
I don't think it's retconed? Just exclusive to Ash now entirely..Last episode I saw with Geninja and Ash's Lucario did include Ash Greninja from what I remember (and that's why Ash visited him, to help get closer to Lucario and train Lucario).
Source please?
For y’all to know, ash greninja(the form they take when bonded), was not in the newest anime, they got replaced a image of ash greninja with a normal one, they never show the bond phenomenon again
I actually think the Partner Pikachu might be something that’s pretty scary actually if he could be transferred to the new games specifically because of the Light Ball. He’d have 160 base Attack, 150 base Sp. Attack, and 120 base Speed. He would lose his item slot which is kinda devastating, but he could definitely have quite a nice glass canon build to him, especially if he was allowed to keep his special Partner moves for coverage. Eevee has the better moves, but I think she probably wouldn’t fair as well unfortunately with no real statline to take advantage of it. Perhaps she could be used as a setup pokemon, but even then she’s too frail for that so it would be quite gimmicky.
You're wrong, Partner Pikachu (P.Chu) would be better
ALL ITEMS THAT BOOST STATS, BOOST THE ACTUAL STAT NOT THE BASE STAT
A Lonley, 31 IV, 252 EV P.chu has 284 ATk which when doubled with Light Ball is 568 which is about 209 BASE ATK
Hell Light ball P.chu would have 190/190/120 Offenses pretty much
Give it support via Tapu Lele and/or Sticky Web, Yeah you got a dastardly combo my friend
@@Uranium-jj7leactuallu, you dont need Tapu Lele that much
Of Zippy Zap keeps its effects from Gen 8 (electric E.Speed + evasion boost), Pikachu could just spam that with the help of redirection or in singles Shed tail and voala
You get a pikachu that hits you but you cant hit back
You forgot the most important part for Eevee. Smeargle would learn all of her moves.
imagine how amazing Ultra Necrozma would have been in Sw/Sh when it would have had fucking dragon dance.
Gen 9 - Dragon Dance plus Dragon Cheer Ultra Necrozma. You’re welcome for the nightmares
They have no excuse to cut the Pokémon for no reason still
They can do balance for comp by making a ban list or separate game modes instead of just deleting Pokémon
There were a lot of bullshit excuses for Dexit.
The one that broke me was "You just want to transfer your 100s and steamroll our story". Shield saw me use no new Mons, overgrind to 100 before the 7th badge, and rage-release Eternatus when I wasn't allowed to skip that catch.
I also didn't use Dynamax until postgame _and_ tried to one-shot story maxes.
Ultra Necrozma is the only reason I go back to play Gen 7. A true shame GF is to cowardly to bring him back. It doesn't even need to be Z Crystals, just give it an Orb or something that transforms Necrozma upon entering battle. What is so hard about that?
The same reason Greninja lost his transformation, because it’s pretty much a mega, a massive stat boost happening in the middle of a fight alongside a change in appearance
@@sentientmustache8360 kid named palafin
@yeet8036 Paladin requires you to switch out, risking a team member you've may have been saving for later.
I miss Ultra Necrozma it looks so godly
The light that burns the darkness (and everything else).
Fr though a Grass/Dragon regional variant of Serperior would be 🔥
Draco Meteor + Contrary Ability would actually be competitively viable
Or, how about this, a Grass/Fighting regional variant with bulkier stats and status changing moves in Leaf Storm, Close Combat, Hammer Arm AND Superpower?! Paired with its Contrary ability and it can boost its Atk, Sp.atk, Sp.def, Def AND Speed!
Serperior would go from OU to Ubers overnight!
Serperior is already good in OU even without all that stuff you said though 💀💀
@@Greatbabyred it's good. But it can be BETTER
Man, it sure would suck if smeargle joined these deleted pokemon in never coming back
Id truly hate to never have to see this lovely, totaly not infuriating guy again
he confirmed in this bitch tho
Ultra Necrozma threatening you with it's demonetization ray, be careful Mr. Moxie Boosted.
"smeargle would learn all of these moves" has to be the single most omnious thing i have ever heard in my life
"Smeargle would learn all of these moves" The TERROR that instilled... holy
There's truly no greater crime than the execution of Ultra Necrozma. It's my utter favorite Pokémon of all time and has one of my favorite stories for a legendary ever since the rivalry of Rayquaza and Deoxys.
Seeing this god of light, the Pokémon that might actually be able to give Arceus's smaller avatar a run for its money, being reduced to a literal husk of its former glory makes me so sad.
my hot take is i think the primals are cool if we got more cracked forms for older legendries for other weathers so each weather had a cracked Pokémon for that team type
Kinda wierd they never added a Hail or Sandstorm Legendary
If only BDSP had exclusive forms for dialga and Palkia ,but no
did someone say primal TTar putting it back in OU?
Pokemon Go: Allow me to introduce myself...
When he said "Smearlge would learn all this moves" I felt fear for a moment
Actually Pikachu Libre is available in Pokémon Go for reaching Legend rank in GBL each season. I don’t believe it is able to be sent to Home though
The words that made me subscribe “I really like necrozma”
At least the Porygon line wasn't deleted in the games unlike the anime.
moxie just wanted to say that your content is so great and not only inspired me to play in tournament but also make my own content! thx
Gl!
Partner Eevee was a literal busted candyshop in the main game. You can travel to each town depending on what coverage moves you needed for the challenges ahead in the next towns and those teachers were FREE.
Then you get the Mega Stones midway through the game. Finally you can choose which moves you want on Eevee to handle some of Elite 4 members apart from the rest of your team.
I actually replayed alpha Sapphire and always took the cosplay Pikachu on my journey. This was good for the earlier part of the game and when I found the light ball it just absolutely carried most of the journey and swept through most teams. Love this thing (I always used Belle form because ice move on an electric type was just stupid)
I want more purely aesthetic form changes like the Cosplay Pikachu that play more into a side feature of the game and not the main battling
Imagine Light Ball partnet pikachu
It’s not a heavy hitter, its pikachu.
Light all: Allow me to introduce myself
The power of Arceus and anime wasn't enough for Ash Greninja to defeat Alain's Mega Charizard X and getting deleted in Journeys. 😂
ultra necrozma is the most infuriating of the cut ones because they literally just could've kept it as a held item and it would make it like power construct for zygarde where when it reaches a certain health threshold it trigger's power construct and makes it go into it's complete form
I was looking at a article, wondering why marshadow couldn't be in Scarlet is Violet, because the two other mythicals in it were Volcanion and magearna, magerna being from the same generation as Marshadow. It always made me sad that marshadow can't get into the game unless it's going to be added later in the future, but until then they're stuck in their generation and Sword and Shield.
most likely, Magearna is in because of Original Color
Volcanion was one of gen 6's mythical mons, not gen 7's
Hoopa and Diancie can also be transferred as mythicals, but maybe I'm reading this wrong,
Here are some extra Pokemon that are stuck forever, Some of the Totem sized Pokemon in Ultra Sun and Moon, Spinda caught in BDSP due to a bug, and the Legendary at the start in Scarlet and Violet.
your channel was just what i was searching for
goid content, keep it up ^^
How are you going to tell me to leave a like if I enjoyed the video, when after watching this brought me nothing but heartache.. I did anyway.
“Super Grande Nacho Ability” is not a phrase I knew I needed to hear, but am so glad I have. Many thanks.
daamn fire editing, keep the great vids
As despairing as it may seem, I still hope and wait for the return of discontinued Pokémon forms. At this point I don’t even care if you change their stats, just bring them back in some form.
As a Greninja fan I've never recovered from the protein nerf and the assassination of Battle Bond. Satoshi-Gekkouga will be missed 😢
Protein
*Protean
@@lucifermorningstar8562 True, they even assassinated that to boot
Rest in spaghetti never forgetti
I have hope that form will return, it has a sprite in home after all, so it’s most likely being brought back somewhere down the line
Aww. I'm sad you didn't mention the badass Japanese name of Light That Burns The Sky, Heaven-Scorching Light of Destruction. 😅
justinpenas well the japanese is the original.
“Smeargle would get these moves”
They would hopefully get the Dark Void treatment.
Zippy zap should be reworked and disturbed to all electric types
We really need a priority electric type move, if all the let’s go moves were reworked and given to more Pokemon I’d love that.
Just like with legends arecus and headlong rush etc
no
Today I learnt how the Pikachu Mandela effect started
I'd be totally OK if they just brought back the ultranecrozium z JUST so we can have ultra necrozma back.
Gamefreak I'm begging you it's such a cool pokemon please do something at least
Or just give it a special form change that it can hold, or even make it a key item.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast absolutely. I think that would honestly work even better
@@BlazingJ972 Yeah it can be something like the Prison Bottle for Hoopa.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast I think freeing up ultra necrozma's item slot would be too overpowered for competitive, so I think a held item like arceus would work well.
I do NOT want to think about what choice spec ultra necrozma would be capable of...
@@BlazingJ972 I mean by gen 10 that strategy would be RU worthy with how bad powercreep’s been lately.
But yes, a held item would be better, but in gen 7 the held item also allowed it to use its Z-move.
Right off the bat, reminding me of Serperior 😭
I miss my boi
Ayy that's me! Also, bring back Mega Pokemon
Uhh, good news? I guess
Pichu is second favorite Pokémon, and I was so happy they came out with Spiky Eared Pichu and unique move set.
But was very sad that he’s gone now.
Ultra necrozma is the definition of the boss when you fight him vs when he joins your team
Bro jumpscared us using that Smeargle.
I still have my save data with my Spiky Eared Pichu. I transferred up most of my other pokemon from HG to 5th gen. And was sad when I saw that I couldn't bring it up too. I will never delete that save data to play through that game because I refuse to abandon the little girl.
Hell yeah, my first thought was “I hope spiky eared Pichu is on this list”, and immediately was not let down!
Great video 🤙🏼
FUCK I miss minior so much. My first ever intentional shiny and it’s STILL gone
I feel that so hard. Sun & Moon being one of my favorite gens overall & Necrozma (especially ultra form) is one of my top 10 favs design wise.
I have drawn so much fan art of that silly dragon, he's so cute in my opinion.
I just wish they would bring him back somehow. Maybe through a legendary like the thereon mirror
the watchmen thumbnail is insane 😭
So you're telling me, that Pikachu was NOT doing the Sieg Hiel in the thumbnail?????
Best Thumbnail ever, this is true art, a masterpiece even
MINIOR HAS RETURNED!!!!!!
11:16
As someone who relatively recently started laddering on showdown in VGC I kinda want Smeargle back in the DLCs just so that I can get to know what all this fuss is about because the collective fear everyone seems to have of Smeargle is funny.
It has Spore, every single hazard, Baton Pass, every single setup move, etc
It learns literally every move through Sketch so it can even learn Judgement or Behemoth Blade (Smeargle also spammed Darkrai's Dark Void so mjuch in VGC that it was banned from using it and Darkrai got its only good thing nerfed to oblivion)
Moody + spore is the main thing. It can just decide to speed or defense boost the right way and sleep your entire team, it can also have whatever other support moves it wants so it can be very disruptive. Just a very annoying high variance mon.
Imagine every annoying status move put into one Pokémon that also gets a plus two stat boost each turn
The cosplay pikachus don’t help the people under the Mandela effect where they think the tip of pikachu’s tail is black.
These vids are goated, keep it up! 💯
This is so interesting! I didn't know about half of these :o!
Video was perfectly fine. I even liked and checked out more videos, but the title of this video needed a comma because when I read the title, I was confused. 😂😂
They should have just brought the Z-crystal back as a key item that lets necrozma change form. Then it can hold an item since it'd be nerfed without being able to change form mid-battle, plus no z-move.
"Our next victim of annihilation" is such a funny line considering he's talking about a Pokemon lmao
light that burns the sky sent shivers down my spine the first time I heard it, it's such an amazing name for a move damn
The easy solution would be if Genius Sonority or someone else made a new Stadium-type game with all 1000+ Pokémon without having to make big open worlds. Everyone would get their faves back, a classic side series would be revived from dormancy, and TPC can make buttloads of cash and they can keep updating it to add new mons as the core games introduce them.
I know how to save necrozma.
Let him ascend to Necrozmamon!
DIGIMON! DIGIMON! DIGIMON! DIGIMON!
Can't believe you didn't mention Pika Papow. You've cheated yourself of getting to say "Pika Papow" out loud.
Imagine a timeline where the partner moves made it to the main games for their respective evolution lines.
Soon the Ride Koraidon and Miraidon will be on this list. Can’t even be transferred into the PC, let alone Home.
Spiky eared pichu is the one I want back the most ironically
Same with cosplay pikachu
Shadow Lugia forever banished to a gamecube game very few played is a tragedy
8:20 or its even more cool Japanese name "Heaven scorching light of destruction"
Cosplay Pikachu is also interesting because Pikachu Libre appeared in not just Pokken but also Smash Ultimate as a pallet Swap of the Selene hat Pikachu (which itself is a model swap of Pikachu like Louie or the Koopalings as a pikachu's tail indicates if its male or female, though they probably just swapped out the tail to save time).
Another Pokemon form you can no longer use is Arcues Legendary form. It was introduced in Pokemon Legends Arceus as the 19th Arceus form. In this game, there are 18 tables to choose what type form for Arceus, but once you capture Arceus, it gives you a 19th table that transforms Arcues into Normal type. The difference between Legendary table normal Arcues and Normal table Arcues is that in this form, his signature is super effective against any Pokemon regarded of the type. On the other 18 forms (including normal), the signature move uses the type of the form. This form is not included in Scarlet and Violet.
1 thing you missed. In addition to pokenn tournament, pikachu libre also gained access to smash. Ash greninja also technically got into smash
I actually didnt know the partner pika/vee couldn't leave their games. I just never tried. It makes sense though
As a newer player of pokemon, really only getting into it truly for Scarlet and Violet. Megastones and Dynamax is so doperinos. Like Terastilization is aight, and can do some pretty cool things, but man those are just so much more flashy and dope.
I hope the next gens thing is more along those lines than the zmoves or tera.
Mega evolution will probably always be the best gimmick
you can also get spiky eared pichu from a friend who light ball breed a pichu egg and trade that egg to someone else to hatch it
You know what else I'm curious about? What the hell is going on with Deoxys? It hasn't really been around since it sort of went missing as a mythical pokemon back during the 20th anniversary celebrations. Every other mythical got promotional art and cards and stuff themed monthly, but Deoxys was skipped over likely because it was available in-game in OR/AS and so it had me and a lot of other people wondering if it was even a mythical pokemon at all anymore if it was catchable in-game. It's mythical status got called into question.
Of course then Keldeo would go on to be catchable in Sw/Sh and that's still mythical... I think.
Since then, Deoxys has only been compatible in BD/SP as a transfer pokemon, but that's it. Completely missing from the main series even when all the other mythicals haven't been. I still have a shiny one from Pokemon Go that I'm waiting to bring into a current game but it's just forever locked out it seems.
I really pray for Mega-Evolutions to make a comeback.
It was such a great concept and made alot of overlooked Pokémon at least usable again. (Beedrill my beloved!)
You did sacrifice the item slot for it, which is a perfectly fine trade-off. (Mega-rayquaza ccan stay at home though.. or need a Rayquazanite, because that thing is broken)
The whole Dex-cut was a main reason why i did not make the jump to the Switch-games. (That and blatant lying, terrible quality of the games and waaay too much handholding/taking agency away from the player)
I miss them all (minus the Partner Pikachu + Eevee because I never played Let's GO nor did I ever consider them truly mainline games). Like, I believe in making adjustments to make them less menacing while also believing in balancing the games without needing to nix huge assets. For example, sure, make Ash-Greninja not have its massive stats and make it a temp stat boost, but at least keep its form AND the boosted Water Shurikken. Make comp rules that explicitly exclude specific Pokémon because, maybe-just maybe, I want to use Ultra Necrozma to nuke raids because they are just slogs to grind through. Modern Pokémon defenders spiel on about how the current games reduced grind while simultaneously introducing a new monotonous grind for resources, from gen 8's Max mushrooms and candies to gen 9's terra shards
