*Terapagos:* an ancient innocence of infinite potential, its lonely dreams the door to altered times; the last of its kind, ascended to nascent divinity.
@@thatman666 The reason is because Eternamax form was the result of a power overload that required all the Dynamax energy in Galar to achieve. It isn't Eternatus' true or natural form. Not to mention the last time Eternatus was in such a state, the Galar Region almost died. So obviously its new handler isn't in too big a hurry to use it.

I’m surprised Ogerpon didn’t make the list. Adorable design, four distinct and powerful forms backed up by the amazing Embody Aspect ability that only triggers when Terastalized, and a tragic past that just makes you want to hug it forever!
@@dubstepbee6892Storywise, It Honestly feels like more Effort was put into Ogerpon anyway.

Ogerpon being a competitive Menace doesn't hurt either (Even if Terapagos is Stronger in that category).
@@NicoTheCinderace fair enough but also I think it wouldn't have hurt to have had an honorable mentions segment before the reveal of number one...

2:47 Not even 3 minutes in and I'm already laughing my ass off. You, sir, could run an interior decorating business for *skyscrapers* with your level of flooring talent.
This generation has, by far, introduced the best crop of new Pokémon in years. I’ve always wanted an Electric/Fighting-type, and I got my new favorite Pikaclone. I’ve always wanted a dolphin Pokémon, and I got Sea Superman. I’ve always wanted a scarab beetle Pokémon, and I got one that can _resurrect fallen party members._ That’s not even counting the countless other cool ‘Mons that Paldea’s given us!
Eh, it's maybe 20% the system and like 80% bad optimization. It's not worth being a dick about, but it's fair to admit that that aspect is indeed yikes-y.
@@lordawesome9060 For me, I just can't help but feel like it could be a lot better. I think the open world feels a bit too empty in spite of all the pokemon going around, and I kinda wish we got something that's less wide more deep.
That Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy reference with Palafin was well done Logan. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of Mega Man X and Zero when looking at Armarouge and Ceruledge.
I always liked Terapagos, but a part of me felt like I never truly understood the true depths of it before. But when I heard the name "Lonesome George", it somehow all fell into place, and the way you explained it hit me all at once in real-time. I genuinely cried... Thank you for yet another masterpiece of a video!
Logan has always been, in my opinion, one of the most talented writer and editor on TH-cam. Putting beyond words can describe passion into each and every video he makes. On top of that, amazing sprite art/animations to boot. It's an incredible journey from how "AnimalGuy001" began to now, dedicating so many hours and days to create these incredible videos. How, HOW, JUST HOW, has he not already reach 1 million subs yet?! Its down right blastfemous. I hope one day I get a chance to chat this brilliant creator I've watched since 2014 (wow, ten years, crazy). Logan, you are truly one-of-a-kind people that I hopefully can aspire to be one day (though, I doubt I'd come away close to creating the same quality content you do, hahahaha). Forever a loyal minion. ^w^
I think it's due to the fact that his great videos.......take.......SO.......FUCKING.......LONG.......TO......UPLOAD. He'd well be over 5 million at this point in my opinion. Same with Wambu the youtuber. Both these great bastards make me smile from ear to ear even on my most shittiest days like today. Having vertigo, nausea, throwing up twice, my grandma's lovely house being put up for sale since she's getting too old to live in it anymore. Today is terrible HOWEVER these two guys can make me find a silver lining in it, bringing me joy to my depression. If only they updated more often I could always be happy everyday. I guess I'll have to watch their older videos multiple times and listen to metalcore music to make up for it.@@MonoHerobrine
*_GRASS CAT GETTING SOME GOOD VIBES!!!!!!!_* Logan. I swear, I *_WISH_* that I had enough money to be Raritanium Patron again. THIS IS THE BEST COUNTDOWN YOU'VE MADE IN A WHILE!
Man do I love your goofy scripts, from Palafin's intro, to that damn Glimora poem, and my salty friend, all the way to the sick narration of Terapagos. Always gets me to come back
I wasn’t originally a fan of Terapagos’s design, but upon further investigation, it’s a basin of inspiration. Galapagos turtle, Ura no Shimako, Dreamcatcher, Turtles all the way down… A masterful example of Pokémon’s origin-meshing design philosophy.
That pure love and appreciation you gave at the #1 spot almost moved me to tears it was so heartfelt. Your countdowns and passion for what you love never fail to bring a smile to my face, Logan. Please be awesome as always!
The more I look at Terapagos' stellar form, the more I realize what it represents. It was stated to be the world how they saw it... and they were right. Take a note of the cracklike pattern at the bottom, that isn't Pokéearth, it's the other half of what used to be a mountain; a mountain that Terapagos' kind before the meteor destroyed it, making Area Zero. The little fella is LITERALLY gaining strength from its old family, its old destroyed home; a dream of what could've been.
Meowscarada immediately became my favorite Grass type the instant I saw it. I said the same for each of it's two prior evolutions as well, until they were replaced by it's evolution.
Omg, same on a hundred levels. I didn't give the slightest crap about the drama, I just wanted to see what it evolved into - and I was blown away by Meowscarada.
Meowscarada broke the mold that I choose between Water or Fire starter. It's the ONLY grass type I picked since ever. The majority is all fire types with gens 5 and 6 being the exceptions. Meowscarada really made me say "Fine. I'll smoke the weed once"
Top 100 Pokemon's gonna be a hell of a video. In all seriousness, great list. While I disagree with a few picks, listening to you talk about Pokemon is just incredible. Your script writing skills also haven't dulled I see. Listening to you talk about number one blew my mind. I remember being here since the days of the OG top 100 Pokemon. Went from being a kid in middle school to an up and coming teacher. Glad to grow along with ya Logan. Let the Gen IX fans rise up! (Btw, my favorites of Gen IX are Revavroom, Quaquaval and Koraidon~)
17:40 That was a blast from the past I wasn't expecting! Also Logan casually dropping more lore on Terapagos than the games ever did is just amazing. And after hearing said lore, I never realized how tragic of a back story Terapagos had. He lost everything. And after we, the player, arrives and catches him as our own Pokémon, we finally give him the family he deserves to have years ago.
The ONLY thing that pisses me of to my very core about this channel is how it doesn’t have more subscribers! Your work is awesome, your wordplay is some of the best I’ve heard on TH-cam and your passion’s past even that. Keep up the awesone work!
Only writing and editing direction from a minion like you could make the 9th generation look this great. Fantastic job all around as always! I always look forward to hearing your scripts for these, you always manage to get your points across so eloquently.
The way you described Terapagos was a way I never thought of. The little guy is the last of his kind with the power to tear through the boundaries of time and space, just TRYING to find his family. He's a child with godlike power but with no caretaker to teach him. The Paradox Pokemon are a result of the little guy trying to find another in the MULTIVERSE who is like him, but to no avail. He is one of a kind, the ultimate treasure.
The No. 1 spot hits HARDER because good ol Logan decided to bust out Celestial for that final spot. I cried when I heard it the first time, and I cried once more when I saw this again.
As a Kamen Rider fan and long time Bug type stan, Lokix was an absolute win for the Bug type. Honestly I haven’t been this gassed up for a Bug type since Scizor. Just everything from the design, movepool, and execution makes it an excellent Gen IX mon with potential to grow (maybe an regional variant/evolution) in later games
Nothing beats you and Pokemon. You killed it as always, seeing Meowscarada and Palafin made me so happy. Great great job, and wow the sheer passion gave me the same secondhand joy as the Darkrai segment all that time ago
10. So it's superman if he was a Dolphin?😂 9. Seriously logen spitting facts! Geeta is seriously the dumbest champion of all time! The indigo lotus blossom is a deadly acid trap! 8. Stunfix if it was good? Never thought I see the day.😂 7. YES! I LOVED THESE TWO EVER SINCE I SAW THEM! X and ZERO would be proud! 6.bisharp didn't need a evolution... he EARDED it!!! 5.

All right Logan I’m sorry if this sounds a bit sappy, but I’m about to spill my heart out so get ready to read. Generation nine is one of my favorite generations today and I’m so happy you feel similar way about it. I absolutely love your cheesy humor coupled with your encyclopedic analyzation. I don’t know where you got it from or how you learned it but it’s always been amazing to listen to. I’ve been watching you since your very very very old Pokémon generations video from like a decade ago. And you’ve never gotten old. You always never failed to cheer me up whenever I see one of your videos. So I want you to know that I have a lot of appreciation for you. And if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your opinion on Ogerpon? me personally, I love her. Incredible design, stimulating backstory, and one of the most rewarding and skill intensive battle styles I’ve ever seen.
I swear, Gen 9 is probably one of my favorite Pokémon rosters since Gen 7. One of the new Pokémon became my new favorite Pokémon of all time almost immediately.
Ok I can't believe how well this bean man made Paldean pokemon shine brighter than the crystals poking out of the region they hail from. This is what I'm here for!!! Awesome job Logan! ❤
ngl the paldea lineup was so good it managed to dethrone two of my long-time favorites: Terapagos managed to dethrone Kyurem and both Gholdengo and Grafaiai managed to dethrone Scrafty. honestly i think ScVi may be my new favorites since B2W2
It’s pretty cool seeing most of fawful’s minion’s favorites are on the opposite side of my favorites’ coin. It’s a rather interesting new perspective presented in a really fun way. My personal favorite scarlet and violet Pokémon is the star of the other DLC adventure, and my second favorite is a different starter than the one praised here for example.
My favorite thing to do with Garganacl is have him be Tera-Ghost with Curse. Standard buff when used normally, but when used while Tera'd alongside Salt Cure, well, you're already dead.
While I understand the choices made, the lack of acknowledgement of Clodsire the aquatic eclair hurts a little. They are a pure bean, with lots of hidden spiky things.
I'm so glad that FOUR of my Main Violet Team ended up on this list. Meowscarada, Lokix, Garganacl, and Ceruledge are as amazing as you say they are, and more.
I can't remember if I've said this before, so I'll say it again if so. Mr. Minion. Logan. Whatever you wish to be reffered as. You are a *master* at your craft. In all of your videos I've seen comedy a plenty, I mean, by god that 'where's the caveman bit' inexplicably thrown into sandy shocks segment threw me into a loop XP ..But..by god, there is something *far beyond* the A-Tier comedy that keeps me coming back to every upload. You're so talented at expressing your emotions for these concepts. Every drop of passion is reflected in every word you use to describe the things that strike you. Be it the City of Tears. Brotherly love. Or the Magnum Opus of creature design, those magical moments crease a lump in my throat I've come to cherish. Because I can only imagine you must've felt a simmilar way. But THAT. FINAL. ENTRY. I've been watching the new Horizon's anime with some of my personal friends, and have had such a great time with it. Geuninely some of the most fun I've had interacting with Pokemon in a while, and going into it, I knew nothing about that flagship creature that served as it's mascot. I. *cried.* Hearing you explain the deeper meaning behind Terapagos. I shed TEARS over it. And I haven't been able to do that for ANYTHING in a *long* time. I want you to know my thanks for that cannot be properly stated. That beyond the A-Tier comedy and commentary, there is a reason I will always wait with baited breath your next video. The SS-Tier heart. *Also" PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAMES OF THE TRACKS HE USED AT THE END-HOLY HELL THEY SOUND ASCENDANT
I just got back from work and to see this in my notifications was a great surprise. Regardless of their quality and development, Gen 9 has some of my new all-time favorites by a country mile. Every single segment was excellent with your superb script writing and wordplay. You really made me feel some major things at #1 with the narration. In addition to your favorites, allow me to share mine. I love all three of the Paldea starters equally, but I had to choose one and it was Skeledirge. The typing, design, inspirations, stats, and move pool were all amazing. Houndstone for having a cool design and being man's best friend from beyond the grave. Annihilape is so cool in not only design and stats but lore as well. The person who made this saw Primeape's dex entry on dying due to being too angry and had an idea. My new favorite regional evo along with Kingambit and Farigiraf. Along with Sandy Shocks, I love Roaring Moon, Gouging Fire, Iron Bundle, Iron Valiant, and Iron Boulder in the Paradox Pokemon group. Ogerpon is my new favorite grass type as of now. Tinkaton for being 50% cute and 50% "SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!".
I think I finally figured out why these videos take so long: It's the script editing. Logan put upon himself the unenviable task of relaying even the most mundane of [loud fart] into a poetic cluster[warped quack] of a description. Makes every wait worth it.
It's been a long time since I watch a Fawful's Minion video. This video have me smiling from ear to ear. I like all the choices you have on the list. I was surprise to see certain mons on the list, but you spark interest on what makes these mons very special. I also want to praise your word play. I love how playful and precise you describe each Pokemon, especially Palafin and Shady Shocks. You made my day. Also, Pokemon Horizons for life.
Just the number 1 segment alone makes Terapagos an INSTANT G.O.A.T. And even the fact that he alone is the 1,024th pokemon of the series, which some of you nerd probably know is the maximum limit of Byte's a unit can hold before going to the next stage into a Kilobyte. Not only he is a survivor of an extinct kind, he is extremely gifted in other-worldly power, founding a move from gen 2 before Stellar's conception, having the ability to tear open space-time, breaking a master ball while previously caught in said master ball, being both an adorable pokemon and a majestic pokemon by itself, being a reference in one of the most touching stories of mother nature that has a bittersweet ending of the natural ways of life itself, but the first step towards the future of the series by transcending the game itself by an ability that rivals ARCEUS HIMSELF, all by the number 1024.
I fell off this channel back when top ten videos stopped being interesting but after a little over 6 years later im finally back and coming back im happy to see his writing and editing have stayed the same style and all the old charm Never change old friend Edit: hi fawful glad you seen my kind message (shockingly quick response time)
I love your passion. I don't agree with your number one, and believe your interpretation of the lore behind it is flawed, but the love you have for that mon brought tears to my eyes. Carry on
Amazing list as always, Logan! This generation has had one of my absolute favorite lineups yet. I had almost 2 teams worth of new Pokémon on my first Scarlet team, and I still found enough to differentiate my Violet team. And so, here’s my top 13 (lengthy list and explanations incoming): 13. Ogerpon: I can’t help but smile every time I see her adorable smile, and my heart practically melted when I saw her running circles around me! 12. Dachsbun: My grandma had several cocker spaniels throughout her life, so seeing a Pokémon based on it made my day. 11. Kilowattrel: My go-to auto battler, since it not only flies, but its electric typing can deal with any water types it comes across. 10. Farigiraf: A very cool evolution for Girafarig. [Also I participated in a link trade bingo event last year, traded one after an hour wait, and it ended up being the winning Pokémon!] 9. Mabosstiff: A strong dark type for my playthrough, and yes, I also cried when Arven’s got better. 8. Flamigo: The one I used in Violet managed to easily take down 3 of the 5 Titans with low kick; one-shotting the first phases of Klawf and Orthworm and two-shotting the second, and then two-shot and three-shot Iron Treads while it was TWELVE LEVELS LOWER! 7. Garganacl: I completely understand your love for this thing, Logan. It hits like a truck, and tanks like a tank! 6. Baxcalibur: The second pseudo-legendary I’ve ever used on a playthrough (first being Kommo-o), and it was a reliable partner. 5. Espathra: A phenomenal psychic type, and very reliable in raids. With setting up screens, lowering the defenses with lumina crash, and Opportunist taking advantage of their stat buffs, it’s a go-to when I’m worried about type disadvantages. 4. Tinkaton: Hi, Amy Rose! 3. Pawmot: My favorite Pika-clone. 2. Skeledirge: My second favorite starter line behind Primarina. Fuecoco is adorable, Crocalor is very cheerful, and Skeledirge is an absolute beast with torch songs. Also I named mine KalienteRool. 1. Great Tusk: Elephants are my favorite animal, and it’s awesome seeing Donphan get some love. I used the Titan one on my playthrough, and it was a total powerhouse! Overall, I love this game despite its flaws, and the roster is a big reason why. Sorry that this comment was so long, but if you make it to the end, I hope you have a great day.
I... forgot about Lonesome George. That revelation SHOOK me. Wish I wasn't so into HGSS at the moment, might actually give the tanzanite turtle a run. Oh, and little grass critty cat is my #1 in Paldea, no contest. Well done, Minion!
Terapagos proudly wears the title of legendary like the goddamn crown it so rightfully deserves. Also...multiversal turtle...? Methinks those Freaks of Gaming must be fans of ANOTHER King...one of name, Stephen. ;)
One last really cool thing about Terapagos, Paldea is loosely shaped like a turtle, with Area Zero being located on the centre of where the shell would be. Wouldn’t you know it?, Terapagos’ tera jewel is location on the centre of its shell. Because of this, some people speculated that Terapagos and Paldea along with it are based of the World Turtle. It’s insane how deep Terapagos’ lore is, especially with your description detailings concepts I never even considered.
I love this game so much idc about performance. I dont know a specific order but my favorite mons include Skeledirge, Veluza (I caught one on its own so I got to form an opinion before hitting the swarms in Lake Slowdown), Baxcalibur, Flamigo, Miraidon...gosh, i like a lot! Missed opportunity to take Arven with us to the crystal pool. Realy wish that was possible. He's RIGHT THERE. How do we not?! (Also, not only does Terapagos give us a chance to potentially save the professor in an alternate timeline, it also supercharges the tera orbs just by existing, which can potentially give the AIs the charge they need to be "free adventurers" of their own wherever they ended up)
My top 3 favorites from Gen 9: 1.Skeledirge. Was the last of the starters I used but I’ve done two playthoughs with one and still use them a lot in tera raids. First female starter I ever used and also the only starter to ever survive a nuzlocke. Later used one named Chandi in my Emmet run and sunny day throat spray torch songs are so much fun to pull off 2.Ogerpon. Your attachment to Terapagos is mine to Ogerpon. I finished all of Teal Mask in a day just because of this little gal. When first revealed I didn’t care about her and was more interested in Terapagos due to looks. The day before it released someone leaked what she looked like without her mask and I found her incredibly adorable. Then I played the game, got invested in her backstory, got really attached to mine when I had to drag her around places, really enjoyed the fight against her, and used her heavily in the Indigo Disk which I never do since I don’t like using Legendaries in main gameplays. My favorite Legendary easily. 3.Glimmora. Another Pokémon I didn’t initially care about but now adore. I found a full odds shiny one I named Arce during my Emmet Run and Toxic Debris, Mortal Spin, sludge bomb, power Gem, and dazzling gleam won me most of the post game battles
So great to see my boi glimmora get some appreciation. Glimmet is easily my favorite Gen 9 Pokémon, it’s just such an adorable and wacky little creature, and glimmora is also really cool in its own right.
Glimmora is so weird. Its moveset (basically every hazard and protection in the game) and ability say “play me defensively!” while its SpA stat says “Hulk Smash!”
one thing I noticed about sandy shocks is that the clack globs on it seem to be ferro fluid, that black liquid that spikes up around magnets, especially since it seems to behave more like a liquid than any solid matter
This video shows clear as day that your passion for this series is just as immortal as Game Freak's creative spark, and reignited my own love for pokemon! It helped me realize "hey wait, I had fun playing gen 9, why did I even stop again?" and also opened my eyes to some of the designs I missed out on by stopping as early as I did. My favorite pokemon used to be Victini all the way, but now it depends on what day you ask me, some days it's still Victini (love that lil cutie, I got to catch one of my own way back during the original gen 5 event as a kid), but some days it genuinely has been dethroned by Glimmora, and that was all thanks to this video! So thank you for the spark that reignited my pokemon fire, I will use it to scorch the fields of pokemon battle for years to come!
Funny you ask, I named my Terapagos George as tribute to Lonesome George. Also, that whole Terapagos section legit made me cry! What the fuck, man!🤣😭 You're making me love the cutest Pokémon in existence (FIGHT ME ON THAT AND LOSE) even more! I loved the little guy the moment I first laid eyes on it and heard its cry! But then doing research on it made me so sad and I felt the need to protect Terapagos' smile and innocence with my life! Real tortoises are already pure innocence and cuteness! I want to protect them with my life! But reading into its lore, its inspirations, it's legends, made me want to truly treasure it! Calling it the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero was truly no misnomer! It is the absolute light in our lives that we all must treasure... Like we did with Lonesome George before his passing. And like we must with all living species around us. I’ve been doing some reflection and while I may personally like Koraidon because I’m an absolute NUT for prehistory and dinosaurs, and with it being my partner throughout the story, but it will never hold a candle to Terapagos and how special and important it is to everything. All other legendaries are either gods bound to their roles, heroes of yore, or monsters hellbent on destruction or purpose. Not so with Terapagos! He simply seeks the one thing all animals crave. To live. He has no role in saving anything, he holds no malice towards anything, he has no goal in mind other than to live his best life and find his family and friends. And that makes him so much more special than the gods of this world since they are not simple creatures anyone can relate to like our real animals aren't. They are just as intangible as our real gods. Terapagos, as magical as he is, is still a tangible creature with his own will and desire as any other Pokémon of earth. His power in his message, story, and actual powers is so significant and so special that no other Pokémon can compare to him! I will forever have all my love for Terapagos as one of my new favourites of all time! Because he is the whole concept of Pokémon! Because he is THE Pokémon.
Very well said! Terapagos has all of this power and all it want is to find its lost family. It wasn't until the Lonesome George comparisons that pushed it into my top 5 all-time favorite pokemon.
My Meowscarada is female too, I named her "Cringer", after the civilian alias of Battlecat from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I even named my guy "Adam" for the same reason.

The reason is because Eternamax form was the result of a power overload that required all the Dynamax energy in Galar to achieve. It isn't Eternatus' true or natural form.
Not to mention the last time Eternatus was in such a state, the Galar Region almost died. So obviously its new handler isn't in too big a hurry to use it.

@@midnightmatter2028New Secret #0:Baxcalibur!
This generation has, by far, introduced the best crop of new Pokémon in years. I’ve always wanted an Electric/Fighting-type, and I got my new favorite Pikaclone. I’ve always wanted a dolphin Pokémon, and I got Sea Superman. I’ve always wanted a scarab beetle Pokémon, and I got one that can _resurrect fallen party members._ That’s not even counting the countless other cool ‘Mons that Paldea’s given us!
Shame the game itself doesn't seem to soar quite as high as its roster, though.
Though on the other hand, we take the W's where we can.
I think the game is great. The biggest issue it has is the lag, and that's more a problem with the system itself than the games.
Eh, it's maybe 20% the system and like 80% bad optimization. It's not worth being a dick about, but it's fair to admit that that aspect is indeed yikes-y.
@@FawfulsMinionCountdowns The almighty one has spoken. So it shall be.
@@lordawesome9060 For me, I just can't help but feel like it could be a lot better. I think the open world feels a bit too empty in spite of all the pokemon going around, and I kinda wish we got something that's less wide more deep.
Lonesome George… now that’s a story I haven’t heard in a long time, but holy hell does it recontextualise the lore!
That Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy reference with Palafin was well done Logan.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of Mega Man X and Zero when looking at Armarouge and Ceruledge.
Especially with the reporter impression
That’s one way to start off a top 10, but seriously that had me laughing 😂
"Making Mr.Krabs look like Mr.Beast!"
Someone maxed out their accuracy stat cuz the minion DOES NOT MISS XD
I always liked Terapagos, but a part of me felt like I never truly understood the true depths of it before. But when I heard the name "Lonesome George", it somehow all fell into place, and the way you explained it hit me all at once in real-time. I genuinely cried... Thank you for yet another masterpiece of a video!
20:08
Logan wheezing is always a treat.
"Special Attack stat higher than G E N G A R"
Logan has always been, in my opinion, one of the most talented writer and editor on TH-cam. Putting beyond words can describe passion into each and every video he makes. On top of that, amazing sprite art/animations to boot. It's an incredible journey from how "AnimalGuy001" began to now, dedicating so many hours and days to create these incredible videos. How, HOW, JUST HOW, has he not already reach 1 million subs yet?! Its down right blastfemous. I hope one day I get a chance to chat this brilliant creator I've watched since 2014 (wow, ten years, crazy). Logan, you are truly one-of-a-kind people that I hopefully can aspire to be one day (though, I doubt I'd come away close to creating the same quality content you do, hahahaha). Forever a loyal minion. ^w^
Makin' me cry, yo. I appreciate you too.
@@FawfulsMinionCountdowns Thanks for replying to me Logan. Made my day =D Lov Ya Dood
I think it's due to the fact that his great videos.......take.......SO.......FUCKING.......LONG.......TO......UPLOAD. He'd well be over 5 million at this point in my opinion. Same with Wambu the youtuber. Both these great bastards make me smile from ear to ear even on my most shittiest days like today.
Having vertigo, nausea, throwing up twice, my grandma's lovely house being put up for sale since she's getting too old to live in it anymore. Today is terrible HOWEVER these two guys can make me find a silver lining in it, bringing me joy to my depression. If only they updated more often I could always be happy everyday.
I guess I'll have to watch their older videos multiple times and listen to metalcore music to make up for it.@@MonoHerobrine
If there’s one thing this and the old Gen 8 list have in common, it’s that the number 1 segments are downright CHILLING oh my lord
And that the #1 in question is the source of the phenomenon of the week.
12:24 He managed to capture my exact reaction to seeing Ceruledge for the first time
Nella ssj scream included, i presume?
Me too 😂
17:32 All these years later, and you're still a token addict. Repsect, Mr. Minion, very good reference and callback.
*_GRASS CAT GETTING SOME GOOD VIBES!!!!!!!_* Logan. I swear, I *_WISH_* that I had enough money to be Raritanium Patron again. THIS IS THE BEST COUNTDOWN YOU'VE MADE IN A WHILE!
Or simply put false advertising plagiarism, it should've been put in Palworld instead for this.
@@dokucroe3865 Nah.
@@NicoTheCinderaceThank you, for killing the killjoy.
Man do I love your goofy scripts, from Palafin's intro, to that damn Glimora poem, and my salty friend, all the way to the sick narration of Terapagos. Always gets me to come back
I wasn’t originally a fan of Terapagos’s design, but upon further investigation, it’s a basin of inspiration.
Galapagos turtle, Ura no Shimako, Dreamcatcher, Turtles all the way down…
A masterful example of Pokémon’s origin-meshing design philosophy.
That pure love and appreciation you gave at the #1 spot almost moved me to tears it was so heartfelt. Your countdowns and passion for what you love never fail to bring a smile to my face, Logan. Please be awesome as always!
The more I look at Terapagos' stellar form, the more I realize what it represents. It was stated to be the world how they saw it... and they were right. Take a note of the cracklike pattern at the bottom, that isn't Pokéearth, it's the other half of what used to be a mountain; a mountain that Terapagos' kind before the meteor destroyed it, making Area Zero. The little fella is LITERALLY gaining strength from its old family, its old destroyed home; a dream of what could've been.
Meowscarada immediately became my favorite Grass type the instant I saw it. I said the same for each of it's two prior evolutions as well, until they were replaced by it's evolution.
Omg, same on a hundred levels. I didn't give the slightest crap about the drama, I just wanted to see what it evolved into - and I was blown away by Meowscarada.
Meowscarada broke the mold that I choose between Water or Fire starter. It's the ONLY grass type I picked since ever. The majority is all fire types with gens 5 and 6 being the exceptions. Meowscarada really made me say "Fine. I'll smoke the weed once"
29:49
All hail Lonesome George, the Master Ball-breaking Stellar King!
Top 100 Pokemon's gonna be a hell of a video.
In all seriousness, great list. While I disagree with a few picks, listening to you talk about Pokemon is just incredible. Your script writing skills also haven't dulled I see. Listening to you talk about number one blew my mind. I remember being here since the days of the OG top 100 Pokemon. Went from being a kid in middle school to an up and coming teacher. Glad to grow along with ya Logan. Let the Gen IX fans rise up!
(Btw, my favorites of Gen IX are Revavroom, Quaquaval and Koraidon~)
17:40 That was a blast from the past I wasn't expecting!
Also Logan casually dropping more lore on Terapagos than the games ever did is just amazing. And after hearing said lore, I never realized how tragic of a back story Terapagos had. He lost everything. And after we, the player, arrives and catches him as our own Pokémon, we finally give him the family he deserves to have years ago.
The ONLY thing that pisses me of to my very core about this channel is how it doesn’t have more subscribers! Your work is awesome, your wordplay is some of the best I’ve heard on TH-cam and your passion’s past even that. Keep up the awesone work!
The way you described Number 1 was…
Dare I say it, truly legendary.
Loved the video, man. It was awesome!
As someone who has Kingambit/Bisharp as my favorite pokemon, the Kingambit segment was uttermost perfection.
Only writing and editing direction from a minion like you could make the 9th generation look this great. Fantastic job all around as always! I always look forward to hearing your scripts for these, you always manage to get your points across so eloquently.
The way you described Terapagos was a way I never thought of. The little guy is the last of his kind with the power to tear through the boundaries of time and space, just TRYING to find his family. He's a child with godlike power but with no caretaker to teach him. The Paradox Pokemon are a result of the little guy trying to find another in the MULTIVERSE who is like him, but to no avail. He is one of a kind, the ultimate treasure.
The No. 1 spot hits HARDER because good ol Logan decided to bust out Celestial for that final spot. I cried when I heard it the first time, and I cried once more when I saw this again.
The SpongeBob reference in the intro for #10 was so well placed, bravo Fawful's Minion
When I heard that terapagos broke a MASTER BALL my ass let out the loudest WHAT that I ever said!
As a Kamen Rider fan and long time Bug type stan, Lokix was an absolute win for the Bug type. Honestly I haven’t been this gassed up for a Bug type since Scizor. Just everything from the design, movepool, and execution makes it an excellent Gen IX mon with potential to grow (maybe an regional variant/evolution) in later games
Nothing beats you and Pokemon. You killed it as always, seeing Meowscarada and Palafin made me so happy. Great great job, and wow the sheer passion gave me the same secondhand joy as the Darkrai segment all that time ago
It took until the end of the DLC, but Gheeta finally learned to put Glimmora in the front and Kingambit in the back!
10. So it's superman if he was a Dolphin?😂
9. Seriously logen spitting facts! Geeta is seriously the dumbest champion of all time! The indigo lotus blossom is a deadly acid trap!
8. Stunfix if it was good? Never thought I see the day.😂
7. YES! I LOVED THESE TWO EVER SINCE I SAW THEM! X and ZERO would be proud!
6.bisharp didn't need a evolution... he EARDED it!!!
5. A collection with the ultimate reward? Sign me up!
4. So this region's geodude is not only looks cool...but can LITTERLY make your opponent salty?! Dang.😅
3. Dark AND bug type? This pokemon was taliered made for you logen!
2. YES!!! MY BABY KITTY IS MY FAVORITE GRASS TYPE AND WILL STAY THERE FOR A LONG TIME!
1. This one caught me off guard but I love turtles. Nice.😊
All right Logan I’m sorry if this sounds a bit sappy, but I’m about to spill my heart out so get ready to read.
Generation nine is one of my favorite generations today and I’m so happy you feel similar way about it. I absolutely love your cheesy humor coupled with your encyclopedic analyzation. I don’t know where you got it from or how you learned it but it’s always been amazing to listen to. I’ve been watching you since your very very very old Pokémon generations video from like a decade ago. And you’ve never gotten old.
You always never failed to cheer me up whenever I see one of your videos. So I want you to know that I have a lot of appreciation for you. And if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your opinion on Ogerpon? me personally, I love her. Incredible design, stimulating backstory, and one of the most rewarding and skill intensive battle styles I’ve ever seen.
I swear, Gen 9 is probably one of my favorite Pokémon rosters since Gen 7. One of the new Pokémon became my new favorite Pokémon of all time almost immediately.
Ok I can't believe how well this bean man made Paldean pokemon shine brighter than the crystals poking out of the region they hail from. This is what I'm here for!!! Awesome job Logan! ❤
ngl the paldea lineup was so good it managed to dethrone two of my long-time favorites: Terapagos managed to dethrone Kyurem and both Gholdengo and Grafaiai managed to dethrone Scrafty.
honestly i think ScVi may be my new favorites since B2W2
It’s pretty cool seeing most of fawful’s minion’s favorites are on the opposite side of my favorites’ coin. It’s a rather interesting new perspective presented in a really fun way. My personal favorite scarlet and violet Pokémon is the star of the other DLC adventure, and my second favorite is a different starter than the one praised here for example.
"I just love looking at this smarmy bitcoin bastard, explains the ghost typing."
I literally went OHHHHH BURN at that. XD
My favorite thing to do with Garganacl is have him be Tera-Ghost with Curse. Standard buff when used normally, but when used while Tera'd alongside Salt Cure, well, you're already dead.
7:41
That Misadventures of Skooks reference was on point! I applaud you, Fawful's Minion!
I think this is the most passionate I've ever heard Logan in any of his videos. Enough to give me chills honestly. Immaculate delivery as always
Dude that number 1 section almost made me cry it was so beautiful. Awesome video
While I understand the choices made, the lack of acknowledgement of Clodsire the aquatic eclair hurts a little. They are a pure bean, with lots of hidden spiky things.
As a Steel fan, I’ve never been happier to have my kneecaps busted in by a rock type!
Pokemon is the only series that can make me emotionally invested in a Motorcycle
I'm so glad that FOUR of my Main Violet Team ended up on this list. Meowscarada, Lokix, Garganacl, and Ceruledge are as amazing as you say they are, and more.
I love your unique creative commentary.they are just as creative as the pokemon of paldea
I can't remember if I've said this before, so I'll say it again if so.
Mr. Minion. Logan. Whatever you wish to be reffered as. You are a *master* at your craft.
In all of your videos I've seen comedy a plenty, I mean, by god that 'where's the caveman bit' inexplicably thrown into sandy shocks segment threw me into a loop XP
..But..by god, there is something *far beyond* the A-Tier comedy that keeps me coming back to every upload. You're so talented at expressing your emotions for these concepts. Every drop of passion is reflected in every word you use to describe the things that strike you. Be it the City of Tears. Brotherly love. Or the Magnum Opus of creature design, those magical moments crease a lump in my throat I've come to cherish. Because I can only imagine you must've felt a simmilar way.
But THAT. FINAL. ENTRY.
I've been watching the new Horizon's anime with some of my personal friends, and have had such a great time with it. Geuninely some of the most fun I've had interacting with Pokemon in a while, and going into it, I knew nothing about that flagship creature that served as it's mascot.
I. *cried.* Hearing you explain the deeper meaning behind Terapagos. I shed TEARS over it. And I haven't been able to do that for ANYTHING in a *long* time.
I want you to know my thanks for that cannot be properly stated. That beyond the A-Tier comedy and commentary, there is a reason I will always wait with baited breath your next video.
The SS-Tier heart.
*Also" PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAMES OF THE TRACKS HE USED AT THE END-HOLY HELL THEY SOUND ASCENDANT
I'm pretty sure he used Scarlet and Violet's soundtrack for the video.
I just got back from work and to see this in my notifications was a great surprise. Regardless of their quality and development, Gen 9 has some of my new all-time favorites by a country mile. Every single segment was excellent with your superb script writing and wordplay. You really made me feel some major things at #1 with the narration. In addition to your favorites, allow me to share mine.
I love all three of the Paldea starters equally, but I had to choose one and it was Skeledirge. The typing, design, inspirations, stats, and move pool were all amazing.
Houndstone for having a cool design and being man's best friend from beyond the grave.
Annihilape is so cool in not only design and stats but lore as well. The person who made this saw Primeape's dex entry on dying due to being too angry and had an idea. My new favorite regional evo along with Kingambit and Farigiraf.
Along with Sandy Shocks, I love Roaring Moon, Gouging Fire, Iron Bundle, Iron Valiant, and Iron Boulder in the Paradox Pokemon group.
Ogerpon is my new favorite grass type as of now.
Tinkaton for being 50% cute and 50% "SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!".
I think I finally figured out why these videos take so long: It's the script editing. Logan put upon himself the unenviable task of relaying even the most mundane of [loud fart] into a poetic cluster[warped quack] of a description. Makes every wait worth it.
Only at the #10 spot and you already reminded me why you were one of the first TH-camrs I subscribed to
It's been a long time since I watch a Fawful's Minion video. This video have me smiling from ear to ear. I like all the choices you have on the list. I was surprise to see certain mons on the list, but you spark interest on what makes these mons very special. I also want to praise your word play. I love how playful and precise you describe each Pokemon, especially Palafin and Shady Shocks. You made my day. Also, Pokemon Horizons for life.
7:40 I WAS NOT READY FOR THAT THIS MORNING OMG
Seriously, who else would make THAT reference!? This is why I love your channel so much.
Just the number 1 segment alone makes Terapagos an INSTANT G.O.A.T. And even the fact that he alone is the 1,024th pokemon of the series, which some of you nerd probably know is the maximum limit of Byte's a unit can hold before going to the next stage into a Kilobyte. Not only he is a survivor of an extinct kind, he is extremely gifted in other-worldly power, founding a move from gen 2 before Stellar's conception, having the ability to tear open space-time, breaking a master ball while previously caught in said master ball, being both an adorable pokemon and a majestic pokemon by itself, being a reference in one of the most touching stories of mother nature that has a bittersweet ending of the natural ways of life itself, but the first step towards the future of the series by transcending the game itself by an ability that rivals ARCEUS HIMSELF, all by the number 1024.
Say what you will about FM. His pokemon countdowns are pure gold.
Can't wait for that favourite pokemon list
I'm so happy that you recognize meowscarada is perfect.
I appreciate the Veggitales reference! *chef's kiss*! As usual, another hilarious, high-energy, and hype video!
Wait, what? Where?
@@Mojo1356 "Allow us to introduce ourselves." From Madam Blueberry
@@LairoftheManiacs I love that meme
I fell off this channel back when top ten videos stopped being interesting but after a little over 6 years later im finally back and coming back im happy to see his writing and editing have stayed the same style and all the old charm
Never change old friend
Edit: hi fawful glad you seen my kind message (shockingly quick response time)
The passion in that video makes me thankful of every day you take to make them. Don't you drop your crown either, King.
I love your passion. I don't agree with your number one, and believe your interpretation of the lore behind it is flawed, but the love you have for that mon brought tears to my eyes. Carry on
How so? It sounds pretty airtight to me.
I'd like to see how it's "flawed".
Amazing list as always, Logan! This generation has had one of my absolute favorite lineups yet. I had almost 2 teams worth of new Pokémon on my first Scarlet team, and I still found enough to differentiate my Violet team. And so, here’s my top 13 (lengthy list and explanations incoming):
13. Ogerpon: I can’t help but smile every time I see her adorable smile, and my heart practically melted when I saw her running circles around me!
12. Dachsbun: My grandma had several cocker spaniels throughout her life, so seeing a Pokémon based on it made my day.
11. Kilowattrel: My go-to auto battler, since it not only flies, but its electric typing can deal with any water types it comes across.
10. Farigiraf: A very cool evolution for Girafarig. [Also I participated in a link trade bingo event last year, traded one after an hour wait, and it ended up being the winning Pokémon!]
9. Mabosstiff: A strong dark type for my playthrough, and yes, I also cried when Arven’s got better.
8. Flamigo: The one I used in Violet managed to easily take down 3 of the 5 Titans with low kick; one-shotting the first phases of Klawf and Orthworm and two-shotting the second, and then two-shot and three-shot Iron Treads while it was TWELVE LEVELS LOWER!
7. Garganacl: I completely understand your love for this thing, Logan. It hits like a truck, and tanks like a tank!
6. Baxcalibur: The second pseudo-legendary I’ve ever used on a playthrough (first being Kommo-o), and it was a reliable partner.
5. Espathra: A phenomenal psychic type, and very reliable in raids. With setting up screens, lowering the defenses with lumina crash, and Opportunist taking advantage of their stat buffs, it’s a go-to when I’m worried about type disadvantages.
4. Tinkaton: Hi, Amy Rose!
3. Pawmot: My favorite Pika-clone.
2. Skeledirge: My second favorite starter line behind Primarina. Fuecoco is adorable, Crocalor is very cheerful, and Skeledirge is an absolute beast with torch songs. Also I named mine KalienteRool.
1. Great Tusk: Elephants are my favorite animal, and it’s awesome seeing Donphan get some love. I used the Titan one on my playthrough, and it was a total powerhouse!
Overall, I love this game despite its flaws, and the roster is a big reason why. Sorry that this comment was so long, but if you make it to the end, I hope you have a great day.
I... forgot about Lonesome George. That revelation SHOOK me. Wish I wasn't so into HGSS at the moment, might actually give the tanzanite turtle a run.
Oh, and little grass critty cat is my #1 in Paldea, no contest. Well done, Minion!
Terapagos proudly wears the title of legendary like the goddamn crown it so rightfully deserves. Also...multiversal turtle...? Methinks those Freaks of Gaming must be fans of ANOTHER King...one of name, Stephen. ;)
One last really cool thing about Terapagos, Paldea is loosely shaped like a turtle, with Area Zero being located on the centre of where the shell would be. Wouldn’t you know it?, Terapagos’ tera jewel is location on the centre of its shell. Because of this, some people speculated that Terapagos and Paldea along with it are based of the World Turtle. It’s insane how deep Terapagos’ lore is, especially with your description detailings concepts I never even considered.
We all know down in our hearts that Taffy the Tinkaton is the best Pokemon all of time and her hammer will do the talking!
“it steals whatever it pleases” is a phrase that has a lot of weight, though unlike Tinkaton’s hammer, doesn’t get talked about a lot.
It does my heart good to see some love for Mewoscarada!~ The Cat can put on a grand ol show, it’s a performer like no other!~
Awesome video dude, it's cool to know more about terapagos while also learning a little bit about these new pokemon
Hey fawfuls! Been a sub for many years now. Always great to see an upload from ya
YES YES YES, SOMEONE ELSE WHO LOVE SANDY SHOCKS.
It and the legendary dinosaurs are our favorite Paradox Pokemon.
It amazes me how good you are at writing these scripts. How tf did you manage to make a magnet seem like the most hype this in the universe
Wow I never knew that there would be a Pokemon that would surpass Tapu Koko as Fawful’s favorite Pokemon and it’s a DLC mon.
I love this game so much idc about performance.
I dont know a specific order but my favorite mons include Skeledirge, Veluza (I caught one on its own so I got to form an opinion before hitting the swarms in Lake Slowdown), Baxcalibur, Flamigo, Miraidon...gosh, i like a lot!
Missed opportunity to take Arven with us to the crystal pool. Realy wish that was possible. He's RIGHT THERE. How do we not?!
(Also, not only does Terapagos give us a chance to potentially save the professor in an alternate timeline, it also supercharges the tera orbs just by existing, which can potentially give the AIs the charge they need to be "free adventurers" of their own wherever they ended up)
FAWFUL'S MINION UPLOAD, WE ARE SO BACK
I also love the VeggieTales reference. That brings back some nostalgia from when I was a kid in the '90s
Leave it to Fawful’s Minion to make me appreciate Terapagos more
As much as I wish Tauros got a proper evolution, I still like how they gave him something interesting. One of the original top tiers deserves respect.
My top 3 favorites from Gen 9:
1.Skeledirge. Was the last of the starters I used but I’ve done two playthoughs with one and still use them a lot in tera raids. First female starter I ever used and also the only starter to ever survive a nuzlocke. Later used one named Chandi in my Emmet run and sunny day throat spray torch songs are so much fun to pull off
2.Ogerpon. Your attachment to Terapagos is mine to Ogerpon. I finished all of Teal Mask in a day just because of this little gal. When first revealed I didn’t care about her and was more interested in Terapagos due to looks. The day before it released someone leaked what she looked like without her mask and I found her incredibly adorable. Then I played the game, got invested in her backstory, got really attached to mine when I had to drag her around places, really enjoyed the fight against her, and used her heavily in the Indigo Disk which I never do since I don’t like using Legendaries in main gameplays. My favorite Legendary easily.
3.Glimmora. Another Pokémon I didn’t initially care about but now adore. I found a full odds shiny one I named Arce during my Emmet Run and Toxic Debris, Mortal Spin, sludge bomb, power Gem, and dazzling gleam won me most of the post game battles
So great to see my boi glimmora get some appreciation. Glimmet is easily my favorite Gen 9 Pokémon, it’s just such an adorable and wacky little creature, and glimmora is also really cool in its own right.
Glimmora is so weird. Its moveset (basically every hazard and protection in the game) and ability say “play me defensively!” while its SpA stat says “Hulk Smash!”
one thing I noticed about sandy shocks is that the clack globs on it seem to be ferro fluid, that black liquid that spikes up around magnets, especially since it seems to behave more like a liquid than any solid matter
I didn’t use a lot of these pokemon in my play though, so I loved this list as it got me to see how great these ones were!
This video shows clear as day that your passion for this series is just as immortal as Game Freak's creative spark, and reignited my own love for pokemon! It helped me realize "hey wait, I had fun playing gen 9, why did I even stop again?" and also opened my eyes to some of the designs I missed out on by stopping as early as I did. My favorite pokemon used to be Victini all the way, but now it depends on what day you ask me, some days it's still Victini (love that lil cutie, I got to catch one of my own way back during the original gen 5 event as a kid), but some days it genuinely has been dethroned by Glimmora, and that was all thanks to this video! So thank you for the spark that reignited my pokemon fire, I will use it to scorch the fields of pokemon battle for years to come!
Terapagos’ mantra: they’re all gone…but I’m still here. And that’s all that matters!
Feels awesome to watch you talk about Sandy Shocks. Easily my favorite paradox, but others just don’t like it. I just don’t get it
This video made me love Terapagos a LOT more, I never considered that it was based off Lonesome George! That's GENIUS, and also really sad.
All that Gholdengo praise made me ascend to another plane of existence.
Shoutout to my girl, Tinkaton. A cute little gremlin of a
Pokemon who wields a giant hammer that's PINK!
(My favourite colour!)
I haven't really watched a video of yours in years and you immediately grabbed my attention with this notif
Funny you ask, I named my Terapagos George as tribute to Lonesome George.
Also, that whole Terapagos section legit made me cry! What the fuck, man!🤣😭
You're making me love the cutest Pokémon in existence (FIGHT ME ON THAT AND LOSE) even more! I loved the little guy the moment I first laid eyes on it and heard its cry! But then doing research on it made me so sad and I felt the need to protect Terapagos' smile and innocence with my life! Real tortoises are already pure innocence and cuteness! I want to protect them with my life! But reading into its lore, its inspirations, it's legends, made me want to truly treasure it! Calling it the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero was truly no misnomer! It is the absolute light in our lives that we all must treasure... Like we did with Lonesome George before his passing. And like we must with all living species around us.
I’ve been doing some reflection and while I may personally like Koraidon because I’m an absolute NUT for prehistory and dinosaurs, and with it being my partner throughout the story, but it will never hold a candle to Terapagos and how special and important it is to everything. All other legendaries are either gods bound to their roles, heroes of yore, or monsters hellbent on destruction or purpose. Not so with Terapagos! He simply seeks the one thing all animals crave. To live. He has no role in saving anything, he holds no malice towards anything, he has no goal in mind other than to live his best life and find his family and friends. And that makes him so much more special than the gods of this world since they are not simple creatures anyone can relate to like our real animals aren't. They are just as intangible as our real gods. Terapagos, as magical as he is, is still a tangible creature with his own will and desire as any other Pokémon of earth. His power in his message, story, and actual powers is so significant and so special that no other Pokémon can compare to him! I will forever have all my love for Terapagos as one of my new favourites of all time! Because he is the whole concept of Pokémon! Because he is THE Pokémon.
Very well said! Terapagos has all of this power and all it want is to find its lost family. It wasn't until the Lonesome George comparisons that pushed it into my top 5 all-time favorite pokemon.
My Meowscarada is female too, I named her "Cringer", after the civilian alias of Battlecat from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I even named my guy "Adam" for the same reason.
Dude that number one segment nearly drove me to tears, wtf ;-;
