I opened up the Pokemon Funko Pop advent calendar last year so I didn't include it in this video, but I hope you guys enjoyed seeing all the other ones I found to open this year!
Those tiny bootleg Pokemon figures truly refuse to die. They've been around for so long. I have a few of them from years ago and they're so darn goofy. The ones that John got are actually better than what I've seen. The colors are actually mostly right.
I think it would be really cool for you to display that first one in the background during the winter months. It's very nice. Also I think a cool challenge would be to find shiny pokemon of all the ones found in these calendars in one go.
That bootlegged Elekid from the last advent calendar is my favorite of all time! I seriously buy him every time I see him online, his little -w- face makes me so happy! I spent months trying to find that exact one, combing through tons of other bootlegged listings every week. Appreciate your lil dudes :D
I remember my parents putting a bunch of plastic miscolored Pokémon like the ones he got in those advent calendars in my stocking and I still have them to this day
A fun episode for the John Michael cup could be both of you getting one of the bootleg advent calendars and having to catch each pokemon in it. Fastest wins.
I ordered an advent calender from a Facebook ad last year and got a cross eye gyrados and other strange items. This year, I went safe with the first calender you opened there.
My mom once ordered me and my brother Pokemon avert calendars. Unfortunately she brought a bootleg one and all it had in it was 40% Pikachus and 70% non Pokemon stuff. Like there was a car, hello kitty stuff, bear figure, an alien from Toy Story. And a milkman I think figure. It made us lose our minds. XD
3:13 Omg i recognize those figures lmao. A local comic store I've been to had those exact off-brand figures. I, of course, bought one, so i have a frickened up grimmer lol.
8:59 I know that that card you probably need to pay someone to take it because it was from a fun pack but I love misdreavous. It is one of my favourite Pokémon (it's in the top 10)
4:25 the second i saw the charizard i realized....those were the exact same figures my aunt had gotten me for Christmas a few years ago. They had the exact paint jod problem and almost all of them looked bootlegged
2:55 to 6:10 Too all my other figure painters out there who else wants nothing more than just to take a dremmel and some paints to these to try and make them look better?!😩🤣
I swear that watching your vids has brought me shiny luck- i have so far found shiny driftloon, skunky and just now a shiny gastrodon Im definitely watching your vids the next time i shiny hunt 😂❤
I like collecting the bootleg pokemon just for the fact of how messed up they are. The most normal one I've ever gotten is a quagsire who is near impossible to mess up with how simple it's design is.
I had the second Advent Calendar he opened! The figures were so bad! Most were not the right color and some balance issues; either falling forward or backward, like my poor Dragalge I got on day 4. He had to be balanced on his tail and could not stand up at all. Another issue was the Slurpuff I was given; it did not look like a Slurpuff!
I got a home-made Pokémon card advent calender (the Pokémon cards themselves were not homemade) this year (Tomorrow is 2023-) and the rarest cards I can remember/find are (and these are not in order and I don't really know the exact rarity, also I will not include Pokémon with certain abilities cuz I dont know if those are rare) : A Trainer card called ''Switch Cart'' with some sort of Pokéball symbols under the picture, a Snorunt with some sort water-typing symbols under the picture, a Dewgong with the same srt of symbolsas the Snorunt under the picture, a Noibat with one big weird symbol under the picture, an Aerodactyl V and finally... a Darkrai V.
The bootleg ones look like the small Pokèmon figures you could get together with some weird candy in a pokéball back in the late 90's early 00's - I remember always being so excited to see what I got and almost always get disappointed at either the Pokèmon or the quality 😅

Ok 👍
Ye
Also merry christmas and a happy new year
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! Just out of interest, where did you get the posters in the backdrop from?
Frog guys forever
For the next episode of the John Michael(*) Cup you should do a “Catch your Pokémon only knowing it’s cry” first to 5(*) correct catches wins
That would be fire
Ikr
Omg I love that 😍
Ooh that's a really good one
Yes!!

Same! I thought they were shinies when I was younger but nope, just wrong colors. I felt so special too.
I also have those knock offs, I think I got a good batch
I have those.
The mega construx ones are actually officially branded which is cool [sorry if I misunderstood what you meant]

8:32 Not sure if you noticed it, but the Ice Rider Calyrex card is in fact shiny! It's hardly different, but it is yellow rather than white!
That's normal go get your eye dictor
@@braydentbh9658go look at an ice rider calyrex
Another cool Pokémon and has a bad shiny
My dad bought me and my sister the second advent calendar. Needless to say, we laughed our asses off.
Man that is such a rip, sorry to you for getting the literal scam
I got that one too
Im Kinda sorry for you bat i laught at this comant and on that calender so badly
me toooo
😂😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤okokok ❤️ love
This video was super fun! That first calendar was actually pretty impressive.
I could immediately tell that the second one was a bootleg when it had the smash 4 art of pikachu and jigglypuff on the front.
Correct
the tiny bootleg figurines are a trademark of being a pokemon fan at this point, we all either have them or had them
I've gotta find some for myself, man
That bootlegged Elekid from the last advent calendar is my favorite of all time! I seriously buy him every time I see him online, his little -w- face makes me so happy!

Man I gotta say I love that derpy Gengar from the off brand advent calendars. Something about it’s proportions and goofy face makes me adore it lol

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOLKS!!!! May DeliSantabird visit you all!!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO
Happy Holidays!

12:36 NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTON! 😂
To anyone who reads this I hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year
I guess for John it was quite an ADVENTure 😂

16:07 Thats a shiny Surskit :O
3:13
Omg i recognize those figures lmao. A local comic store I've been to had those exact off-brand figures. I, of course, bought one, so i have a frickened up grimmer lol.
16:00 the only time anyone was ever excited about an oddish
16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 q 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37
John I have about a hundred of those tiny figures from the second one.
Yeah they're kinda messed up design and color wise.
KINDA????
@@vgmaster02 they're so bad it's funny
Man seeing PM7 open the advent calendars, I really want either 2-3 out of them all, plus I'm kinda jealous
You don’t have my Pokémon Funko pop, advent calendar, not to flex
Charmander: I GOT A HAT
Bulbasaur: ME TOO!
Squirtle: 😔
Poor Squirtle
Merry Christmas John! Have the best holiday full of great memories and even greater bootleg Pokémon 😂
8:46 That Reaction tho xD
The scuffed advents had me in stitches.
Hope everyone has a jolly happy Christmas
The figures and your reactions are so funny
8:59 I know that that card you probably need to pay someone to take it because it was from a fun pack but I love misdreavous. It is one of my favourite Pokémon (it's in the top 10)
The first one you opened was the one that I had last year!
The red wigglytuff looks like a fusion of rotom and wigglytuff lol 16:10
John is the shiny man himself, even in advent’s calendar he gets a shiny
7:25 Tail Whap? Ok?
As a person in Alaska, the first advent calendar you opened WAS OVER 100 USD! Merry Christmas everyone.
4:25 the second i saw the charizard i realized....those were the exact same figures my aunt had gotten me for Christmas a few years ago. They had the exact paint jod problem and almost all of them looked bootlegged
I have a bunch of those bootleg-ish figures, I don’t remember mine being *that* bad though lol
with the second advent calendar, all those images are cursed lol
That poliwag was turbo cursed
00:7
I got the Pikachu and Jigglypuff one, as well as the Sawsbuck one.
So I can't watch this until i finish opening them...
2:55 to 6:10
Too all my other figure painters out there who else wants nothing more than just to take a dremmel and some paints to these to try and make them look better?!😩🤣
16:12 it because it’s the leaked wigglytuff shiny from Pokémon stadium 3
You have no idea how much I want that mr mime from the 2nd one. It's so cute
8:50 team yell is cheering for the fun pack to be over
Merry Christmas to all😄🎄
Hi I’m Drippy Tomb
I swear that watching your vids has brought me shiny luck- i have so far found shiny driftloon, skunky and just now a shiny gastrodon
Im definitely watching your vids the next time i shiny hunt 😂❤
All of these except for the 2nd one and the last one would be fun/nice to get.
I got a mini pokemon funko pop advent calendar and the figures are so cute and i love them all
I love Poliwag. It's one of my top faves of all time. The 1st one was hilarious 😂😂😂 I would 1000% display that in my office lol
Scam warning
That second advent calendar had me wheezing, the bootleg Pokémon look so cursed.
I have the the toys from the 2nd advent calendar so that is how they are supposed to look PM7.
I like collecting the bootleg pokemon just for the fact of how messed up they are. The most normal one I've ever gotten is a quagsire who is near impossible to mess up with how simple it's design is.
Pm7: 7.5 holiday pakachu
Me: time to get slicing
This vid was amazing keep up the work!
3:55 Keeping me up for the next few days
Happy Hannuka To All
You know what would awesome. A turtara with a Christmas tree on its back.
Merry Christmas to you all and hope you have a great day love you all and hope you get through anything that’s tough right now
It should be a crime to open a whole advent calendar in 1 day
True 😂
For the Michel cup you should do catch the pokemon but the wheel will say the generation type or/and the base middle or last form
It would be very interesting to see a miniature painter fixing up the bad figures with a good paint job
12:39 is see it...
Just came here to say, at 1:10 - SIR, PSYDUCK IS TWICE THE SIZE OF SQUIRTLE. Thank you
The Totodile addict in me somehow wants that bootleg now. XD
I had the second Advent Calendar he opened! The figures were so bad! Most were not the right color and some balance issues; either falling forward or backward, like my poor Dragalge I got on day 4. He had to be balanced on his tail and could not stand up at all. Another issue was the Slurpuff I was given; it did not look like a Slurpuff!
John: ima open number 25 before christmas
Me: BRO WHY >:(
I had the third calendar and I have the delibird and pikachu keychain on my backpack
Merry Christmas
Pokemon in shows:pikachu
Pokemon in Arceus:BBBBBIIIGGGGGAAAAAA!
The gothorita from the second box was the funniest of the whole box
I love the bootleg figures so much 😅
The two small ones and the days of mirage plushies. This will bring people from pokemon mania back.
3:32 my guy looks like an M&M
4:51 this one looks like a peanut M&M
17:02 more M&MS
The ornament set would be great for a really young fan, when decorating a tree is the most magical experience.
I got a home-made Pokémon card advent calender (the Pokémon cards themselves were not homemade) this year (Tomorrow is 2023-) and the rarest cards I can remember/find are (and these are not in order and I don't really know the exact rarity, also I will not include Pokémon with certain abilities cuz I dont know if those are rare) : A Trainer card called ''Switch Cart'' with some sort of Pokéball symbols under the picture, a Snorunt with some sort water-typing symbols under the picture, a Dewgong with the same srt of symbolsas the Snorunt under the picture, a Noibat with one big weird symbol under the picture, an Aerodactyl V and finally... a Darkrai V.
The big takeaway from this video is that New Horizons is the best game development tool for indie devs
3:08 I got this advent calendar and each day was a day of disappointment.made my family laugh😊
You should give Jack a scuffed pokemon advent calander
The only way I could do that was if you had to do a little more work
RIP John’s bank account
Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah!
Just that Gary impression made this video perfect
that psyduck was definetly from Mcdonalds
Hi (and merry Christmas!)
I have that same Charmander as a Plushie from St. Nick
I have the TCG Advant calendar
2:49 the calendar i had this year
One of my best friends got me the pop up calendar with the starters and I loved it! Merry Christmas John 😊
Advent calendar number 2 is THE WORST ADVENT CALENDAR EVER
I would say the second calendar were original planned for Halloween
Your affinity to catch shinies even extends to advent calendars!
Merry Christmas Everyone 😄
Give the smallest advent calendar to Jack😄
3:31. What they do to Poliwag😂
when you said i dont know where im gonna put these stickers i knew exactly where you would put it on your face
John: Reverse kickball
The bootleg ones look like the small Pokèmon figures you could get together with some weird candy in a pokéball back in the late 90's early 00's - I remember always being so excited to see what I got and almost always get disappointed at either the Pokèmon or the quality 😅
I’m positive the second advent calendar was a bootleg
The first one was the best 🌟 for me
