The only one's that really mattered that Mark said he'd smash, were Gardevoir, Lopunny, Salazzle, Phermosa, and a few others; among the Pokémon community who'd ever consider Smash or Pass on 'em? Those named are typically the usual suspects, so when even Markiplier says he'd smash 'em? I think I at least can offer him some leeway on his stranger picks; like Sinestea, birds, bees, and the odd legendary.
I find it funny hope people wanna find this "fucked up" but overlook the fact that in the Pokémon world, Pokémon are just as, if not more intelligent than humans are in a lot of cases. Hell, People actually hooking up with their Pokémon is cannon in the lore. I can't remember what gen/game it was in but in the Japanese version, you could find a book that literally reads that in early Pokémon history, people and Pokémon would marry. But in the English version, they changed it to something like "People and Pokémon would share dinner at tables like equals". Or something along those lines. So...yea...as messed up as it seems, it's actually cannon to the lore that people would marry their Pokémon.
Gen 4! Also yeah, pretty much that. Basically, people don't realize that the harkness test applies to Pokémon (for those who don't know, it's an unwritten law that explores the fact that you're technically allowed to fuck another species if they show the intelligence to reciprocate, which quite a few 'mons do) because the "Children's game" vibe is not disappearing any time soon, which makes the whole idea completely depraved from an (understandably) superficial perspective. I'd say, it's not that they overlook the pokémon world marriage fact; they just _don't know._ What they do overlook though is that Ash's Bayleef has been flirting with him since day one, and that was back in 1999 - and kids could _definitely_ tell. Childhood was ruined since Johto. XD All this to say, I completely understand where Hat's comin' from, since if you don't know they're basically sentient (and if you grew with the outlook that they're animal pets and nothing more) it's gonna be very hard to see 'em as anything else.
Pokemon intelligence varies considerably, there's a big difference between an Alakazam and a Rhyhorn, whose own pokedex entry bullies it's lack of intelligence. So that doesn't really stand as an argument, there are 100% a bunch of cases where having sex with a pokemon is exactly the same as having sex with an animal.
@@MostlyLost Ok sure electrode is obvious from its size, but I swear there was another Pokémon that was the same colors but the eyes were on the red part not the white.
This is a side of Mark I don't think any of us expected 😂 Though you have to admit, some of these designs are sus as hell. Look at Lopunny or Salazzle and tell me designers didn't know exactly what they're doing...
Most of marks picks for smash were likely a joke,because only at lopunny did he stop to think "would this make me a furry?" Despite picking a literal bee and a 40 foot tall literal whale
Ever heard of the Harkness Test? It's a test to see if it's morally acceptable to have romantic relationships with specific things. Thing is, it's just as morally acceptable to get with a hot humanoid alien chick as it is a dragon from Skyrim. The only thing people don't like is when something isn't humanoid enough. Believe it or not, Pokémon are as intelligent (if not more intelligent) than humans, they can (of course) grow older, humans and Pokémon can communicate effectively enough to understand one another. That takes care of pretty much all problems people have with different relationships. The only thing left out is, once again, how humanoid they are. But that isn't really a problem.
Yeah. Gen 4. Though the English version doesn't word it like that, the the literal translastion of the Japanese version does. And I believe there is a Pokemon spinoff game where a female has a Mightyana as a boyfriend. And there is a video that explains about a canon relationship that had happened in one of the side quests of Legends: Arceus.
You gotta respect the man for being brave enough to post this. Although what surprised me is him passing on Vaporeon, which is said to be the most compatible for human male-Pokemon breeding
I mean if you grew up with pokemon, and you hit puberty around pokemon or anthropomorphized creatures, its not too far of a stretch as to why many people are attracted to some pokemon. Puberty likes to make you oddly thirsty for things you liked in that age. The video “why is there so much pokemon rule 34” by Lockstein and Gnoggin is really good. Pardon my spelling if I missed the name.
I don't see a problem with it. Pokemon tend to show a level of thought similar to humans, some can even speak our language. It's like asking would you smash or pass an Asari, Turian, or Krogan?
Oh and the Japanese version of Gen4 just outright said that medieval Sinnoh legalized human/pokemon marriage (contrary to the joke, Arceus Legends actually takes place after that period)
So far, you're the only reactor I've seen who didn't immediately argue the bangability of some of the Pokemon he passed up. But he made you laugh! And your constant, disappointed head shake made me laugh. Everybody wins!
The process in my head: -Thinks of wheter he would sleep with a pokemon. -Looks at the entire Pokédex for choices. -Said "Hold up, this would make a great video that would definitely get me memed." -Uploads. -Refuses to elaborate.
So he'd smash 8.7% of the known pokemon species... Huh. also I thought he'd say smash on vaporeon just for the meme, but I guess he didn't see it. Edit: did the maths wrong. Edit 2: made the ending sentence better.
Mark's band genius. He KNEW that no matter how disgusted people are with the very concept of this video, he knew that morbid curiosity would eventually get most people it's suggested to to watch it.
Gardevoir could get my ring, same with Hattarene They're more like superintelligent telepathic aliens than animals Just generally speaking the more intelligent a species is the more it strays from being an animal and towards being a human-adjacent being to me, and there's a good number of pokemon that cross that line in my mind
Hatguy: what's up with him and snakes? National geographic: snakes are able to swallow their food whole. Even when as big as their heads. In short for those who don't understand, zero gag reflex.
The only reason why I’m not bothered by this is because I am unfortunately aware of how many people would have said “smash” to over twice as many as Mark did.
I would frankly have to agree with that statement. I mean, for example, you take Lola Bunny, arguably the most popular character in Space Jam, everybody's... kind of a furry?

I mean....salazzle has a reverse harem of salandit, and their female pre form salandit is able to produce a pheromone that can attract human males so......
A couple of points, here! This is gonna be a long comment. I'm not for or against any of this, I just find it funny. Also, I thought I'd let this comment be informative, aight? Let's do this. •Childhood's been ruined since Johto Adventures. Ash's Bayleef _explicitly_ acts as though she's in love with her human trainer despite herself being a Pokémon (no really: blushes, jealousy, calls for attention, it's all there). I grew up with that, and I can tell you that both me and quite a few kids could tell what this was, because well they don't exactly hide it. That was in 1999/2000, soooo, yeah, don't worry, Mark's video does nothing to remove or add to what's already been done. 'cept exposure, I guess, but we got the rest of Internet for that. Oh yeah and uh, Latias is _totally_ into Ash. Kissed him, too! Movie 5, 2002. Sure, she was disguised as human, but hohoho, _wait_ 'til we get to Zoroark. XD •Gen 4 canonizes the fact that human and pokémon are treated as equals (marital relationships included) in Sinnoh's history, for the very simple reason that though many of them look like animal, they have about as much intelligence/sapience as humans do, and some of them could genuinely just take over the planet if they wanted to. I don't even need to go far for this one: A large group of Alakazam have had that ability since Gen 1. Meanwhile, Slowking has been pondering about the mysteries of existence itself since Gen 2. •The idea that humans and pokémon are ultimately the same thing in that world has been around _literally since the first movie._ First, from the removed (but still present in the Japanese version) Mewtwo flashback, in which Mewtwo meets the soul of a cloned human (Mewtwo was originally created as a test to see of that girl could be resurrected through cloning, _yes_ it's that dark), Aitwo, who tells him that it doesn't matter if she or Mewtwo are human or Pokémon. She proceeds to say that they could even be the same. Then, the rest of the movie (even in the western release) explores 'mons ability to wage war, cry tears of depressed-ass sorrow, and be weapons just as much as they can be buddies. That was... right, 1999. And uh, yeah let's just say they kept putting that idea forward from there. •The innocence within you that you're talking about (regarding this topic specifically) comes from the fact that Pokémon, especially in the west, has been specifically marketed towards children for appeal's sake, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone in your position to _ever_ consider Pokémons as anything else but cute pets, which essentially makes you think that anyone interested in them sexually (in a jokey manner or not) is a zoophile. I am not, _at all,_ blaming you for this. What I'm saying though is that you've been trapped in the same cycle that, as an example, Yu-Gi-Oh fans have been trapped into until the Japanese version of the anime became a bit more mainstream. "YGO is a card game for children, why is there blood and gore in it now, don't ruin it" ← It was _always there_ (which the manga readers are very aware of), but the marketing changed to adapt to the audience that received it later. Pokémon is... basically the same. It doesn't have the same horror roots YGO has, but it did always have underlying adult themes, as well as the idea that Pokémon are much, MUCH more than meets the eye. •To give a specific example, Gardevoir is one of the most popular Pokémon for people to simp for. Part of the reason for that is its feminine look, but a more important reason is because that 'mon canonically comes from a line of empaths that can feel the exact emotions of whoever takes care of them, and they respond to those feelings very strongly. As in, Gardevoir is willing, quite literally, to tear holes into space itself with its psychic powers _just_ to protect their dear trainer. If said trainer went "hey Gardevoir let's cuddle", to take a non-sexual, cuter example, there would be little reason for a well-treated Gardevoir to refuse to do so. Hell, the trainer wouldn't even have to say it. That was in 2003/2004, Gen 3. What I'm saying is that simping for Gardevoir is about as fucked up as wanting to smooch Starfire (alien princess who needs positive emotions to use her abilities) from Teen Titans. Which is to say, not much. It's just easier with Starfire, 'cause she looks way closer to a regular human. Or Yubel from YGO, that works too. •Also, Zoroark has such mastery of illusions that it can look as though it was a human being, and unless that illusion is dispelled by very specific means, most humans would never be able to know. It _actually happens_ to the player character of Black and White, Gen 5 (for those who never completed the Zoroark event, that weird silent woman in the woods is just a regular woman in the woods). So, Zoroark could turn into the most desirable human being ever to trick anyone to be with it, and you could not know that for years unless you attacked it in battle. I think the possibilities of that speak for themselves. All this to say, I completely understand where your outlook comes from! Like for real, I'm not here to change your opinion, I'm just here to inform you that everything I just said is something you can fact-check, AKA people's kinks regarding these creatures are totes valid. In that world, pokémons are basically walking humanoids in (mostly) animal bodies. There's even quite a few species of Pokémons that are literally just humans who turned into them (Kadabra might be one of those, still a rumor), or died and then became Ghost types - one of which being _very aware_ of their past humanity. So, if a Ghost type ever falls in love with a human (Froslass♪), you can't even say that it's an animal, because... well. It isn't. As a last point, I sincerely doubt that Markiplier is actually ashamed of anything, because he's been throwing random crazy content like Smash or Pass for... years, now. XD He could've quite literally not released this video and he'd save himself trouble, which he's acutely aware of. Just my two-cents, though. It's an educated guess. Ta-ta♪
This is normal for Mark, have you seen his reaction to Lady Dimitrescu? And just look at some of those designs of some of the pokemon, especially those that are meant to be feminine in nature like Gardevoir, Lopunny, Florges, Salazzle, Tsareena, Pheromosa, Hatterene
For Magneton, maybe you stick your shlong between the three and there’s electro-stimulation. Keep in mind he’s also a masochist (even if he says he isn’t).
My man’s beard looks like he just finished snorting his grandpas ashes before starting the video. Really cool though, and I like hats so this is a good first impression for me.
Gardevoir, Lopunny, Cinderace, Florgeous, Tsareena, I completely get why he went for those. Not even a question, they are smash tier all day, every day. In most cases, it's those hips, I imagine. But Tsareena? That's Markiplier's masochistic side, 200%. Some of the rest, okay, I can sort of get why. But for the most part, I have some concerns about the majority of his choices. Mostly regarding his safety, health, and general wellbeing. And now that the new games are out, he has more to look at. I really would like to know where the Pokemon of Violet/Scarlet fit into his smash or pass list. Would he break 100? I won't say it's impossible. Seems he started to pick more once he got into Gen 3 territory. And, again, I 200% understand why Gardevoir made the list, and 100% why Lopunny made the list... Don't ask why... But read The Man With a Gallade's Arm. Don't ask why, just do it. You'll thank me once it gets to chapter 7 or so.
Are you upset over him saying he'd f*** 70 pokemon? Cuz you know there are toooons of websites out there dedicated to f***able pokemon right? Lmao Mark isn't the first and he definitely won't be the last. I think you just might be a prude my dude. XD But also, love the reaction and can't wait for more!
Fun, silly, strange, awkward, uncomfortable, and puzzled; just about everything I thought about this. Pass or smash is a very shallow game to be playing as is, add pokemon and it goes crazy.
..IDK from what I've seen on the net most of these made enough sense. xD Plus in the Pokemon universe... worse happens. The manga mentions a lady saying how "that's the last bath I take with my Tentacool!" but later is seen in another bath with one. Pokemon's creators were already jacked AF. xD
Brothers nothing wrong with anything that happened in the video, it's all just personal things so if you didn't want to watch it, then just don't watch it!
Mark's criteria seems to be
-Does it have flirty eyes?
-Is it feminine in a human way?
-Does it have thick legs?
-Does it look like it'll hurt him?
So Lady Dimetrescu?
Does not explain Beedril bro !?

A couple of points, here! This is gonna be a long comment.
I'm not for or against any of this, I just find it funny. Also, I thought I'd let this comment be informative, aight? Let's do this.

I grew up with that, and I can tell you that both me and quite a few kids could tell what this was, because well they don't exactly hide it.

That was... right, 1999. And uh, yeah let's just say they kept putting that idea forward from there.
•The innocence within you that you're talking about (regarding this topic specifically) comes from the fact that Pokémon, especially in the west, has been specifically marketed towards children for appeal's sake, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone in your position to _ever_ consider Pokémons as anything else but cute pets, which essentially makes you think that anyone interested in them sexually (in a jokey manner or not) is a zoophile. I am not, _at all,_ blaming you for this. What I'm saying though is that you've been trapped in the same cycle that, as an example, Yu-Gi-Oh fans have been trapped into until the Japanese version of the anime became a bit more mainstream.
"YGO is a card game for children, why is there blood and gore in it now, don't ruin it" ← It was _always there_ (which the manga readers are very aware of), but the marketing changed to adapt to the audience that received it later. Pokémon is... basically the same. It doesn't have the same horror roots YGO has, but it did always have underlying adult themes, as well as the idea that Pokémon are much, MUCH more than meets the eye.
•To give a specific example, Gardevoir is one of the most popular Pokémon for people to simp for. Part of the reason for that is its feminine look, but a more important reason is because that 'mon canonically comes from a line of empaths that can feel the exact emotions of whoever takes care of them, and they respond to those feelings very strongly. As in, Gardevoir is willing, quite literally, to tear holes into space itself with its psychic powers _just_ to protect their dear trainer.
If said trainer went "hey Gardevoir let's cuddle", to take a non-sexual, cuter example, there would be little reason for a well-treated Gardevoir to refuse to do so. Hell, the trainer wouldn't even have to say it. That was in 2003/2004, Gen 3.
What I'm saying is that simping for Gardevoir is about as fucked up as wanting to smooch Starfire (alien princess who needs positive emotions to use her abilities) from Teen Titans. Which is to say, not much. It's just easier with Starfire, 'cause she looks way closer to a regular human.
Or Yubel from YGO, that works too.
•Also, Zoroark has such mastery of illusions that it can look as though it was a human being, and unless that illusion is dispelled by very specific means, most humans would never be able to know. It _actually happens_ to the player character of Black and White, Gen 5 (for those who never completed the Zoroark event, that weird silent woman in the woods is just a regular woman in the woods). So, Zoroark could turn into the most desirable human being ever to trick anyone to be with it, and you could not know that for years unless you attacked it in battle.
I think the possibilities of that speak for themselves.
All this to say, I completely understand where your outlook comes from! Like for real, I'm not here to change your opinion, I'm just here to inform you that everything I just said is something you can fact-check, AKA people's kinks regarding these creatures are totes valid. In that world, pokémons are basically walking humanoids in (mostly) animal bodies. There's even quite a few species of Pokémons that are literally just humans who turned into them (Kadabra might be one of those, still a rumor), or died and then became Ghost types - one of which being _very aware_ of their past humanity. So, if a Ghost type ever falls in love with a human (Froslass♪), you can't even say that it's an animal, because... well. It isn't.
As a last point, I sincerely doubt that Markiplier is actually ashamed of anything, because he's been throwing random crazy content like Smash or Pass for... years, now. XD He could've quite literally not released this video and he'd save himself trouble, which he's acutely aware of. Just my two-cents, though. It's an educated guess.
Ta-ta♪
This is normal for Mark, have you seen his reaction to Lady Dimitrescu? And just look at some of those designs of some of the pokemon, especially those that are meant to be feminine in nature like Gardevoir, Lopunny, Florges, Salazzle, Tsareena, Pheromosa, Hatterene
Watching people's brains melt while Mark casually decides which pokemon he'd fuck is so funny. XD
I love that no one but the most absolute degenerates assume that it's a joke.
Hat guy, you poor innocent soul.
Wow I didn’t know a lot of these Pokémon. Lot of em look real dumb, real dumb.
Well humans are technically Pokemon , just look at Nurse Joy.
Can't really blame his choice, Garchomp is totally wife material though.
FACTS
That’s nothing. I have said ‘Smash’ to 85 Pokemon with 813 being passed.
If you do the math, he said smash to 8% of all Pokémon
I think it's fair to say it was a joke.
It's not Markiplier if he doesn't do any weird ass random shit.
I have to say, i do agree with a lot of mark's decisions here.
But fucking magneton and wailord, idk what his thought process was on those two.
Is not about smash, is about POWER
Idk abt the magnet but maybe the blowhole on the whale?
@@SHADETHEDARKKNIGHT fair enough
For Magneton, maybe you stick your shlong between the three and there’s electro-stimulation.
Keep in mind he’s also a masochist (even if he says he isn’t).
You know exactly what you were getting into, Chad.
This must be an elaborate shitpost by Mark.
My brother was flabbergasted🤣
The moment he smashed beedrill was the moment things went downhill.
Everyone calls me the 3 minutes guy
My man’s beard looks like he just finished snorting his grandpas ashes before starting the video.
Really cool though, and I like hats so this is a good first impression for me.
Gardevoir, Lopunny, Cinderace, Florgeous, Tsareena, I completely get why he went for those. Not even a question, they are smash tier all day, every day. In most cases, it's those hips, I imagine. But Tsareena? That's Markiplier's masochistic side, 200%.
Some of the rest, okay, I can sort of get why. But for the most part, I have some concerns about the majority of his choices. Mostly regarding his safety, health, and general wellbeing. And now that the new games are out, he has more to look at. I really would like to know where the Pokemon of Violet/Scarlet fit into his smash or pass list. Would he break 100? I won't say it's impossible. Seems he started to pick more once he got into Gen 3 territory. And, again, I 200% understand why Gardevoir made the list, and 100% why Lopunny made the list... Don't ask why... But read The Man With a Gallade's Arm. Don't ask why, just do it. You'll thank me once it gets to chapter 7 or so.
Think you might be taking this one a little too seriously amigo. Think he's just doing it for laughs or for the memes. 🤣🤣
Mark vs The Hat Guy would be an epic fight!
Probopass reminds me of the father from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs XD
Literally a female human shape Pokémon: pass
A bunch of magnets: smash
Dude said smash to a sand castle and a damn tea cup.
i mean, there is a mouth...
@@armageddongirl612 When there is a whole hole, there's enough space for a pole
You don’t understand, this video is such a Mark thing to do! It’s completely out of nowhere, hilarious, and somewhat sexual
Don’t kink shame! That’s homie rule number 1!
LOL when you were like "AWHHHH!" to Goodra cus his hands are covered in SEMEN CLEARLY LOOOOL
We all know the only choice 100% agreed by all is Ditto. No cap
Hehe yea...
Mark really would smash more than me. Wild.
And i mean, i wouldn't say this is messed, just casual furriness
It's Canon that humans married pokemon
In the japanese version anyway
I think they forget that in the Pokémon world, they can literally marry their Pokémon.
You're being too vocal about your disagreement to be believable
Mark is a masochist no matter how much he denies it XD
You'd be surprised how many people would smash pokemon.
They knew what they were doing designing tsareena and pheromosa
That video makes me laugh hysterically every time I watch it
Mark would smash around 8% of the Pokémon in the game
Are you upset over him saying he'd f*** 70 pokemon? Cuz you know there are toooons of websites out there dedicated to f***able pokemon right? Lmao Mark isn't the first and he definitely won't be the last. I think you just might be a prude my dude. XD But also, love the reaction and can't wait for more!
All I got to say is read Vaporeons pokedex entry.
I'm surprised that he passed on Milotic
He's saying who he wants on Smash Bros.
Childhood already ruined thanks to the internet. Smash the whole pokedex.
Fun, silly, strange, awkward, uncomfortable, and puzzled; just about everything I thought about this.
Pass or smash is a very shallow game to be playing as is, add pokemon and it goes crazy.
..IDK from what I've seen on the net most of these made enough sense. xD Plus in the Pokemon universe... worse happens. The manga mentions a lady saying how "that's the last bath I take with my Tentacool!" but later is seen in another bath with one.
Pokemon's creators were already jacked AF. xD
Both the video and every reaction to it has me wheezing so hard it hurts.
Remember in some continuity humans are Pokémon as well
Markiplier and staraptor have the same haircut 🤣
Okay hat guy your turn
i mean ditto can just look like him during the smash so tbh it's not that fucked up lol
Brothers nothing wrong with anything that happened in the video, it's all just personal things so if you didn't want to watch it, then just don't watch it!
