@@ThunderShock7 So the thing is, I like quite a few goofy Pokémon but Salemence is a goofy Pokémon that THINKS that it’s awesome. They’re out here trying to be a Garchomp or a Metagross when really it’s closer to a Dragonite of Goodra
Steven deserves another shoutout for the free beldum. For those who don’t know, for some reason, beldum has the same catch rate as legendary pokemon making catching it incredibly annoying at times.
Ikr! No Groudon, kyogre or rayquaza mentions either? That trio is so cool! And no obstagoon? Super cool, buffed a weak Pokémon and had a kiss on top! (It’s designed after the band kiss)
Actually Greninja was the most popular Pokémon globally back in 2020 but a Japan exclusive poll about a year or two later had Dedenne as the most popular and I believe Buzzwole was somewhere in the top 4 resulting in it getting added to Pokémon Unite. Greninja is still popular but a majority of Greninja’s fame comes from overseas thanks to the Gen 6 anime being so popular when it was running, and still is.
@itsturniptime3699 That’s true, although I’m pretty sure that poll with Dedenne and Buzzwole was massively botted/memed, as there was no restriction on how many votes you could cast. This meant that the results were in no way indicative of what was actually popular, but more like what was funny or viral on social media. If you need proof of this, beyond many popular Pokémon being absent from the top and the top five including random mons like Cinccino and Sableye, you also have Whismur as number 11 and Barbaracle as number 22 lol. And Whismur got almost as many votes as Gardevoir and Lucario combined
Blaziken shall always be my favorite. Great in every generation he’s in, with his weakest placement being UU in gens 4 and 9. Super fun to use in emerald, and super fun to use in showdown with speed boost. Get off a swords dance and he’s a win condition. Also his mega is absolutely one of the coolest designs i’ve ever seen. Blazing wrists while he whoops yo ass and gets increasingly faster and faster!
Fuck yeah, Scizor has been the coolest Pokémon to me since I first saw him in the anime as a kid. Glad to see you appreciate him just as much. Such a great mon with such a banger design.
Volcarona has one of the coolest designs in the entire game!! I remember, as a kid, I even thought it was a legendary, just for how amazing it looks. If I made a tier list of every pokemon design ever created, this would be an S+ tier, for sure
Hell yeah, I found a Decidueye enjoyer. Hail the owl boi! I love Decidueye, a hooded ghost archer is so cool and it has one of the coolest signature moves ever.
Man, i really hope the vid goes well cause both ideas of the worst pokemon and the nuzlocke seem pretty cool!! (Also always grookey and bisharp gang, never left the boat)
This was a pretty interesting video. I would definitely be interested in seeing you cover more pokemon content. Regarding the paradox pokemon, there's actually a good reason why the names for the paradox pokemon. The explanation is a bit long but pretty interesting. The paradox pokemon are essentially just convergent evolutions taken from their respective timelines that just happen to look similar to pokemon from current times but that aren't related at all to the pokemon that they resemble to and that are in the present due to a time loop caused by the time machine. That's what they actually are. By the way, you're also not supposed to take the info from the occulture magazine as serious facts about them. The paradox pokemon (at least inside the pokemon world) are meant to be like the cryptids of the pokemon world. Basically like the "big foot" or "UFOs" of our world. Which is further proven by the existence of the occulture magazine. Which is essentially a tabloid. So the weird names, the primitive designs and the robotic designs make sense since they're supposed to be like their versions of cryptids (that are creatures from cryptozoology and ufology mainly known from anecdotal stories and other claims rejected by the scientific community). Even in the game is stated that the guy that wrote the book about the paradox pokemon got ridiculed and lost his reputation after publishing the book about what he experienced and saw during the expedition to area zero. So this is pretty much how they're perceived in universe. Basically someone sees an Iron hands, doesn't know what it is but notices that it kinda looks like a robotic version of Hariyama, nobody believes it and then tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists from Paldea start saying that it must have been some kind of cyborg. And that tinfoil hat conspiracy theory ends up being part of an article in the occulture magazine with the name "Iron hands" and (since it doesn't have any actual info about what they actually are) the pokedex has to resort to reference the description of that shady tabloid or the discredited scarlet/violet book out of pure lack of real info. Including the name given by the tabloid. Of course despite this perception as cryptids inside the pokemon world, in reality (and as I mentioned before) they're just convergent evolutions taken from their respective timelines that just happen to look similar to pokemon from current times but that aren't related at all and that are in the present due to a time loop caused by a time machine. But most people in Paldea don't know that. Sorry for the ridiculously long comment. I tend to write a lot sometimes XD. But I wanted to explain it in the best way possible. Side note: Dondozo is cool but it isn't actually a whale. It's more a mix of a giant catfish and a traditional japanese sushi chef. Cetitan is the gen 9 whale (and it's awesome too). But as I said, amazing video 👍.
I only ever played the Gen 4 and 5 games. Those two generations are to this day still contain my favorite Pokemon. My favorite gen of all time is gen 4. And I fucking LOVE Garchomp. (It's totally not for Cynthia Trauma related reasons)
I subbed behind this video because the vibes are immaculate, so I'll check out the non-pokemon stuff you've got, but I found you because I too love pokemon
So glad you covered this man! Absolutely adore pokemon! Apharos has always been my favorite pokemon through playing second generation, to feeling the thrill of learning they got a mega evolution!
You should do a hardcore nuzlockr and a worts rated Pokémon stuff, I love your content but usually I don’t play the games you cover so this would be really cool.
my all time favorite is also Scizor! followed by Umbreon, Haxorus, Ninetales (both OG and Alola), Zebstrika and Absol. but i think our taste pretty much the same: cool-designed pokemon, not the cute ones. all you mentioned like Scizor, Umbreon, Mewtwo, Greninja, Dragapult, Volcarona, Kingambit, Garchomp, Gyarados, Palafin, Flygon, Galarian Weezing are so cool!
First video I’ve found of yours! Definitely enjoyed it and am subscribing. However! The Southern US in me only has one comment, and that’s that Dondozo is a catfish, not a whale. He’s still cool af tho and his shiny is great. Awesome vid!
Pokémon designs are so intricate, every single one serves it purpose very well. That's why we are just at a 1000 after 30 years and don't have every single fanart mon as an official Pokemon.
23:45 I caught a shiny mankey during my playthrough and evolved it into annilhilape and it got me through most of the story, I only switched it out to level up some of my other ghost types. I was so proud to find him as my first shiny for gen 9
My Favorite Pokemon in each Generation Gen 1: Moltres (The scene in Let's Go always gave me chills, because Moltres felt like the leader of the Legendary Birds as it examined you, seeing if you were worthy) Gen 2: Umbreon (Second favorite Eeveelution, and its shiny is clean af) Gen 3: Rayquaza (Go Team Sky! That, and its Mega Evolution goes hard. Figuratively and Literally *By 'Literally', I mean competitively*) Gen 4: Leafeon (My favorite Eeveelution hands down design wise) Gen 5: Chandelure (Favorite Pokemon overall) Gen 6: (Regular Pokemon: Sylveon. Mega Evolution: Beedrill) Gen 7: Alolan Raichu (Pancakes 4 Life!) Gen 8: Zacian (Favorite dog Pokemon) Gen 9: Not entirely sure, but it's a tie between Skeledirge, Ogerpon, and Terapagos
Gen 1: Ninetales. her shiny has the best color imo Gen 2: Scizor, Umbreon (so close, cant pick one actually) Gen 3: Absol Gen 4: Luxray Gen 5: Haxorus, Zebstrika (again, cant pick one). love Bisharp too Gen 6: Talonflame Gen 7: Alolan Ninetales Gen 8: Grimmsnarl, his gigantamax form is top cool! also like Glastrier too but i didnt buy the DLC so never play one Gen 9: Ceruledge, have eyes on Armarouge too but this time i can pick one since i bought violet over scarlet if i can choose top 6 from them: Scizor, Umbreon, Ninetales OG, Haxorus, Zebstrika, Ninetales Alolan
For a Nuzlocke, Crystal Legacy is a good one to start, gen 2 with different/more unique pokemon spawns mixes things up enough to be fun but still familiar
Gen 1: Haunter Gen 2: Chinchou (idk why don’t even care about the mon. But has always been one of my all time favs design wise. It’s so perfect) Gen 3: Duskull Gen 4: Mamoswine (have always felt this thing is so beautifully designed! Glad to see it get some shine!!) Gen 5: Elgyem Gen 6: Tyrantrum all day! Honedge n Hawlucha honorable mention!! Gen 7: Vikavolt Gen 8: Perrrserker/Dragapult Gen 9: Tatsugiri Tons of other amazing designs. But I was trying to keep it as light as possible. Love Pokémon’s creature design and discussions on it. They keep crushing it every generation. Can’t wait to see what Z-A and Gen 10 bring 😁
17:00 Yea i agree Greninja has the best design in Gen 6 but ive also gotta give an honourable mention to both 10% and Complete form Zygarde because their like cool Robots like a Robo dogo and a Transformer beast which is insanely OP imo
Also wanna give a shoutout to my boy Sableye. I think he has one of the best designs in the whole series. I do wish he was a better Pokémon to use outside of Prankster shenanigans. But my first playthrough of Ruby/Sapphire as a kid I caught one to use for Brawly, it got overleveled, and I wound up basically solo running the game with him. I’ll always love Sableye.
I couldn’t tell you my favourite Pokemon, I love loads! Dragonite, Muk, Tauros, Magnezone…But Electabuzz, the Squirrel line and Snorlax are always consistent!
Glad you and I both like Hoenn the best. However, my favorite designs from that Generation are Absol and Grovyle. Flygon is an honorable mention for me, as well as Blaziken, Salamence, and Aggron.
for your point about hydreigon having multiple heads, the pokédex entries state that the side heads are both non-sentient and are more like extra arms or meat puppets slightly disturbing, but not extra heads
I’ve literally never once thought of how my favorite Pokémon ever has SOCK PUPPET HANDS😂. Knew they weren’t sentient heads but never heard the analogy before lmao
13:28 I cannot tolerate this Lickilicky slander! My mans is adorable and looks like Majin Buu haha. The derpy cheeky toungue stick is honestly charming in my eyes. I understand if its triggering for germaphobes though. And I understand that we were robbed of the Gen 4 beta version of Lickylicky, but what we have is also good. Anyone else like Lickylicky? Normal Gem Explosion goes crazy :)
oh my god like most of these pokémon and the way you were leading up to it i was saying what i would put and you just kept saying exactly what i would, i thought i was the only one who liked alolan marowak that much

Alolan Marowak actually won worlds in vgc 2017 The power level was lower that format and it hasn’t been used since but it was really good then.
I’m tied with infernape from diamond or toxicroak their designs are pretty cool, plus I just like gen 4 a lot.
My favorite is Hoopa mostly because of its lore and what is based off, but it’s unbound form is so underrated
Dude finally! I haven't seen enough love for Hoopa even though it has some of the coolest lore in the franchise. Hoopa is great.
Im glad this video wasn't clickbait, got to see my boy greninja in action

Gen 6: Talonflame
Gen 7: Alolan Ninetales
Gen 8: Grimmsnarl, his gigantamax form is top cool! also like Glastrier too but i didnt buy the DLC so never play one
Gen 9: Ceruledge, have eyes on Armarouge too but this time i can pick one since i bought violet over scarlet
if i can choose top 6 from them: Scizor, Umbreon, Ninetales OG, Haxorus, Zebstrika, Ninetales Alolan
I'm to this day still bummed out that Haxorus wasn't the gen 5 pseudo legendary with how cool it looks
The only difference is that he has slightly lower stats
For a Nuzlocke, Crystal Legacy is a good one to start, gen 2 with different/more unique pokemon spawns mixes things up enough to be fun but still familiar
I would absolutely adore more pokemon content, personally really enjoyed the video.
Oh my god Scizor is my favorite too! I love bullet punch with technician!
Gyarados? Yes agree 100%
Such a crazy nicely designed water serpent,

Gen 1: Haunter
Gen 2: Chinchou (idk why don’t even care about the mon. But has always been one of my all time favs design wise. It’s so perfect)
Gen 3: Duskull
Gen 4: Mamoswine (have always felt this thing is so beautifully designed! Glad to see it get some shine!!)

Gen 6: Tyrantrum all day! Honedge n Hawlucha honorable mention!!
Gen 7: Vikavolt
Gen 8: Perrrserker/Dragapult
Gen 9: Tatsugiri

13:28 I cannot tolerate this Lickilicky slander! My mans is adorable and looks like Majin Buu haha. The derpy cheeky toungue stick is honestly charming in my eyes. I understand if its triggering for germaphobes though. And I understand that we were robbed of the Gen 4 beta version of Lickylicky, but what we have is also good. Anyone else like Lickylicky? Normal Gem Explosion goes crazy :)
oh my god like most of these pokémon and the way you were leading up to it i was saying what i would put and you just kept saying exactly what i would, i thought i was the only one who liked alolan marowak that much
i love you macro, but ceruledge or tinkaton not at least being in the honorable mentions is an L.
