For anyone who's curious: With the final evolution of all starters, including regiona forms, in mind: 19 are bipedal and 8 are not. That is 100% of all fire starters, 63% of all water starters, and 50% of all grass starters. I was curious, so I did the math.
Technically, there has never been an instance of a Grass starter starting of as a quadruped and turning bipedal in evolution. They've either been bipedal from the start and stayed that way (Treecko, Chespin, Rowlet, Grookey) or they start of quadrupedal and stay quadrupedal (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Turtwig, also Grookey). Grookey kind of falls into the middle since (being an ape) it can stand on two legs but often moves on all fours. Snivy is an anomaly since it's a bipedal snake that literally loses it's legs in evolution.
It seems like Pokemon is returning to its roots, when the games were named after colours. The last games that were named after colours came out a decade ago (B2W2) so imo its a nice change of pace
only Red, Blue, Green and Yellow were named after colors Black and White are Shades not Colors Gold and Silver are metals and Ruby, Saphire and Emerald are Gems
15:00 - It's said in game that Volo was abandoned as a child (or heavily implied through his comments about Giratina), so Cogita must be his grandmother, aunt, or just the Matriarch of the entire family.
@Connor Caron No he's clearly Cynthias down to her Team. But it could be interesting if maybe the line split somewhere and Cynthia and Lusamine are distantly related.
"Imagine your sibling disappearing without a trace, that'd be hell" Speaking from experience, it actually is, to this day I still don't know if my brother is actually dead or not, and it tears me up inside. But damn, that hit me out of nowhere today, wasn't expecting sad feels when I decided to watch a meme review.
Im sorry for your brother, i always fight with my little bro and sometimes i think i hatr him, but everytime we go somewhere and he gets lost my breathing gets ragged and can't think straight, i can't imagine how painful it would be to actually lose him. Sorry again.
I'm so, so sorry about your brother I can't even imagine losing my brother (we almost lost him one time while riding our bikes, I'm never going there again)
The whole ingo and emmet thing actually breaks my heart, like when that comic came on screen I knew exactly what it was and I felt my heart shatter. Think about it, you spend almost every single day with your twin sibling to the point where you work together in the same exact thing and are near inseparable, then one day your twin goes missing without a trace and a body is never found. They're never seen elsewhere in the world and all they can assume is that they died for unknown causes somehow and you're expected to live and cope with this unexpected loss. Every single day you tire just from trying to pull yourself up out of bed, the job you two worked at together feeling less like a fun activity to do with your sibling and more like a grueling chore that only reminds you of them. Not to mention that you're stuck with the pokemon they left behind, some of them maybe not even fully grasping that their trainer is considered dead and won't come back, and *cant* come back. Every time you look at them you're reminded of the thing you lost, and while you aren't bitter towards them and still treat them as your own, it hurts. It's like a shooting pain through your chest, like a dagger digging deeper and deeper until you cease to feel it anymore. (im obsessed with submas im not apologizing for this lmfao)
Me: *yelling at my Dialga* you send him home to his brother this instant or so help me, I will bring your father into this! Arceus: *grazing in the field*
Well, we still don't know it's final evolution so, Fuecoco's final evolution could be snake like, just like how Snivy walked on two legs but then became serpent like with its final evolution
I do feel like the new grass starter has a decent chance of staying quadrupedal: it is only the fire type starters who's fully evolved forms seem to be allergic to having their front legs on the ground
I hoped we would’ve gotten Legends DLC. Imagine at the end of the dlc, you and Ingo get to go back to the present, and while Ingo stays in the Present with his bro, the protagonist can go back and forth. Someone in Jubilife Village can replace Ingo when it comes to rematches. I want my boy Ingo to be happy with his bro. I do find it messed up that Arceus keeps you in the past even after you catch it. The protagonist’s family and friends in the present must be worried sick about them.
@@Code_Lune I know right!? Arceus isekai’d you to the past to stop Volo, and you accomplish that, but keeps you in the past anyways. Sure, you got your friends and the Galaxy Team, but the protagonist likely had a life before Legends’s story. I was personally disappointed that Gen 9 was announced this early because I wanted GameFreak to focus on Legends a bit more with actual dlc. Imagine in this theoretical dlc, they added the island that’ll eventually become the Battle Resort, and the Distortion World. Maybe we can get an actual storyline in the dlc where the protagonist and Ingo try to find a way home, with Ingo also wanting to recover from his amnesia, and Volo returns, either seeking revenge or atonement. I would totally pay for a dlc like this for Legends, but GameFreak is focusing on Gen 9, and I’m worried they’ll rush it. At least with Legends they took a bit more time with it.
i havent played arceus yet, but is it ever revealed *why* ingo was sent back? the protagonist was sent back because arceus needed to stop volo, but why was ingo sent back? And can arceus even send people forward in time? isnt that dialga's whole thing? maybe ingo and rei/akari could go on a journey to find their way home in a potential dlc.
Another good meme for the reveal: *Pokefans during the reveal thinking it's Detective Pikachu 2:* I've connected the two dots *GameFreak:* You didn't connect sht *Pokefans:* I've connected them
Decidueye is only seemingly humanoid because of the type of owl it's based on. It's still built like an owl but you can see the full length of its legs which you can't always see on owls in real life.
As someone with a twin brother that I'm really close with I don't even want to think about how Emmet felt when Ingo disappeared that comic made me so sad
Arceus almighty I'm trying my best to not tear up after seeing that comic! Seeing that comic is just so heartbreaking! It's just a STAB to the heart (WHY DID I HAVE TO MAKE THAT PUN?!?! I'M TRYING NOT TO CRY AND NOW I'M SAD _AND_ MAD!!!), it feels just like whenever I see the fanart of Ahsoka Tano in regards to Anakin's turn to the dark side (one of the fan comics has her meeting Luke, saying that she wishes he could've met Anakin and not Vader, but then breaks down crying when Luke tells her that he came back to the light and that he _did_ get to meet him. The other is an image depicting her during Star Wars Rebels hugging Vader as she cries, with words in the top right corner saying "I won't leave, not this time." It breaks my heart every time I end up seeing those). ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!! Now I'll never see that moment in the game in the cave with Ingo the same again!! When (not if, I do plan on obtaining a Palkia in an Origin Ball as well) I play the story again and get to that point I might _actually_ starting crying!! And the worst part is that I don't think we can really blame Volo for it too! From the sounds of it Ingo had already been there for enough time that he likely would've had to take some kind of tests with the Pearl Clan to become a Warden, tests that would have required being there _much_ longer than we had been! *ARCEUS DAMN IT!!!!! I'M GONNA MURDER WHATEVER ULTRA BEAST OR OTHER ENTITY FOR DOING THAT TO POOR EMMET!!!!!!*
@@skylergarza8371 I suppose that would be the "good" ending (if you ignore the new age difference between the two...depending on how long Ingo has been there before returning). But it's just too easy to think about the bad ending. I could even see Emmet going into full on depression and starting doing some of the things like resorting to trying to drink his sorrow away, tiredly searching for his brother until his demise, pushing away anyone else he's close to due to despair, or (and Arceus forbid this one happen) possibly take his own life (just _thinking_ that made me want to cry, and _writing_ it just broke the dam). If time flows in parallel then the bad ending is a guarantee...and I don't like the bad ending at all, it's just too depressing (Arceus almighty! This game just keeps giving more and more reasons for why it is the most mature Pokémon game! Death, overbearing skepticism, Pokédex entries like Snorlax and Basculegion, Volo's insanity, powerful animals attacking you, and then you add in this deeper theory that isn't hard to start thinking about and it really proves just how much more mature of an audience this game seems to be made for)
I'm hoping for Fairy if for no other reason than Kingdom Hearts and Sora's got his dog (Granbull/Zacien) and Keyblade (Klefki) but there's no fairy type duck yet so he can't have Donald join the team.
In the trailer for SV, there's a giant sun dial with all the types. On the website, it says its an "open world adventure". I think that means there will be a gym for each type, that you can progress in any order, that the edges of the sundial point to.
That would be a cool idea, but it would slow the progression of the game if they make you do all of the gyms. They could only have the league require 8, which would balance it out. I would love to see this though, and it could make it so that each playthrough is a different experience.
@Zerosonic animations it could be that the evil team would have an admin for each type and depending on which gym you battle you would battle an admin of either the same typing or a typing that is strong against pokemon with a advantage on bug, like sending a water admin
I personally really like the fully evolved form of Sprigatito; its a literal cat magician. spoilers anyone? It has the move 'Flower Trick' where it throws a BOMB bouquet at the enemy, you can probably sweep some of the gyms with that!
Not only to I just not agree with the “should’ve stayed on all fours” squad (though I find their complaints hilarious), I absolutely love my Meowscarada.
I love Meowscarada, and I could care less if future starters turn out humanoid. I personally really like the humanoid starters, because they just look so much cooler.
I think I have an answer to the meaning of "expanding the sky." You could do it by pushing back the ozone layer further into the atmosphere with the power of Rayquaza. With pokemon logic/video game logic, this could increase the size of the troposphere (where most airplanes and most birds fly in). It would give flying type pokemon more space to fly in. It also might be able to push the stratosphere (where supersonic jets fly and some birds can fly in) into the atmosphere which would also increase the overall size the world's atmosphere. This idea could also increase the size of Rayquaza's domain! Long live Team Sky!
Someone in my class started ranting at me about how Sprigatito looks like a recoloured Litten, so I hope it's final evolution looks nothing like Incineror just to spite him
14:55 I've seen a theory which makes sense that Volo is actually a time traveler from further in the past, meaning he could be an ancestor of Cogita maybe. Just an idea that avoids the possibility of... that
4:04 HE GETS IT! I’m pleasantly surprised to hear someone know that typically post Gen 5, every generation has lasted only THREE years! I always found this current fact so fascinating. Did you know the only exceptions have been 4 years were Gens 4 and 5? Interesting…
Yes. The fact that Diamond and Pearl physically got delayed, and idk why Gen 5 wasn't 3 years. But the fact that we've had brand new Pokemon stuff for something like 20/26 years was kind of off putting. If they took more time the product could be better. See how in the Gen 4 delay era that's considered some of the best times for the TCG, the video game spin offs as well as the anime also have loads of "watch out for these cool new stuff". Like sure I get that money will always be the driving factor, but when the quality seemingly is so hit or miss, you'd figure maybe taking a year off might do them good? Slow down the production schedule so that it's every 4 years. As Mikey proved 2020 was a hell of a year.
I think the extra year in delay could have been because of the story they wanted for black and white. Which, good for them, it is a super cool story. And theres also the thing where black and white had no pokemon of any other region for a while in the game. I think reprocessing pokemon that's already been made would be easier than creating a whole thing entirely new.
I love how Mikey and Grunty Boi's relationship went from Mikey being angry at him, to Mikey being annoyed with him, to Mikey just being chill when Grunty Boi busts into his house with a "Hey dude, whats up?"
They could base fucoco off of baryonyx/Vallibonavenatrix/Camarillasaurus/Iberospinus Probably baryonx as it's the most well known and iberospinus was discovered this year or late last year (I forget) and valio was discovered 2019 Camarillasaurus is possible but put into spinosaur family in 2021 So baryonx is probably what it will be based on if not a snake Because baryonx has a croc like face and the way fucoco stands is similar to the dinosaur.
@@starlight0313 Baryonyx IS bri ish. For the spinosaurid evo, I'd say iberospinus or vallibonavenatrix. I would pick valli since iberospinus is a new species
I've never minded the humanoid starters but I will admit if the cat strands up (unless it's a puss in boots cat then I'll be happy), I'm throwing hands
I'm really hoping that Sprigatito's final evolution would be a Grass/Steel cat like Puss In Boots, so I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thought that.
I'm personally hoping for a Grass/Fairy to represent all of the beautiful flowers of the Iberian Peninsula. But a Puss In Boots-like evolution could be cool too.
@@w1nterdays Primarina is the only "humanoid" starter that I can accept, because its based off of sirens/mermaids which use their human like appearance and majestic voice to bewitch sailors. So by making primarina look somewhat like a human it makes her into an extremely cool siren.
I made one of the first ducklett memes, if not the first and got no likes. Then someone just screenshoted it and got like 600 likes. I question reddit sometimes.
Agreed. If Quaxly turns into a pirate duck, it makes sense given the design for the first form. Currently, I'm skeptical Sprigatito (my personal favorite but they're all good) or Fuecoco have a reason to.
@@jinkwon8410 Yes, all we know for sure is that he was sent to the past (presumably by Arceus), but to me it feels like Arceus sent him back because he acknowledged his tremendous skill as a trainer as well as the weight of the calamity that had fallen upon Hisui, so Arceus sent Ingo back hoping he could combat this calamity but he couldn't comprehend the situation, possibly due to bewilderment or his amnesia
17:52 like he said, I’m not sure what the middle or final evolution is for Sprigatito is but I am loving that cute leaf kitten! I really hope that it it’s something majestic and adorable AND it stays of all fours. We’ll just have to wait and see
I feel grunty boy become less and less corrupted with time because of Mickey's influence. They were enemys and now they're friends and now grunty boy is sharing instead of stealing.
Badger isn't on the zodiac. If the first evolution doesn't fit makes the zodiac theory wrong, Fuecoco proves it wrong. If the final form of Fuecoco can prove it right if it becomes a snake, then Typhlosion ended it back in Gen 2. Fox as dog is a stretch, but badger being the rat is ridiculous. I was into the theory originally, but Fuecoco kind of put the last nail in that coffin
18:40 actually- the gym challenge logo did represent dynamaxing! The three ball-swirl-things that are on it are the same ones that are always above dynamaxed/ gigantamax pokemon. So those star things for gen 9 *could* mean something- I'm so hyped for this!!!
A friend and I had talked about how it felt like Gen 9 was coming too soon because Gen 8 still felt sorta new. You really put the whole yearly release schedule thing into perspective.
True that. As galar is barely even three years old. And the fact that we just got hisiu not to long ago. Perhaps they felt they should change their pacing with their Pokémon game releases as typically a new one is announce it seemed like in the past every 2-3 years later
Solid memes!! Also, always love how Mikey went from "OMG get out of my house Grunty Boi" to "Oh hey man, how's it goin?" Kudos for getting us excited for your ad reads.
While there are similarities dragons aren't reptiles. Even in classic legends the reference to dragons being cold blooded was about their temperament not their biology. Not trying to be critical here just spreading lore trivia.
I once saw a comic about Ingo when he arrived to Hisui, he was given the pearl clan's outfit and tossed away his damaged shirt, but when it came time to toss his jacket and hat, he couldn't and instead put them back on, like he lost his memory, but for some reason his subway leader outfit holds some sentimental value he can't describe nor remember where it came from.
The second I saw Fuecoco (that’s the crocodile right?) I instantly knew I wanted him I don’t care what it evolves into. It’s cute and I’m picking it I’m super excited for Scarlet and Violet, and finding out what place in the world they’re based off of
I'm so happy that Mikey is still making content, he's been one of my favorites since I was a kid, I remember when he first made the type matchups explained videos
For the last thing; that little thing is meant to portray the dynamax band as well. So the starlike shape we have seen now should in some form relate to a new gimmick, but it feels near impossible to guess what it'd be
You know, your logic for the pacing makes sense. Aiming for a Mainline Game every three years, with two side games between it. Everything changed when the Pandemic attacked.
If the game releases this year we should expect new content updates on a semi-regular basis. It wouldn’t surprise me if we got more about Pokémon Scarlet and Violent anytime this month or in April
Remember how Gen 3 lasted for 4 full years before Gen 4 happened? Or how we actually got to spend a lot of time with Munchlax during Gen 3 with May catching 1? You have to wonder why Pokemon doesn't do that anymore?
His pure disappointment when it's revealed that the water starter walks on two legs, AND the grass starter walks on two legs and both look extremely humanoid.
Ooooh, I need to tell everyone! The last duck in the evolution line is young Scrooge McDuck!! And this specific version is drawn by the amazing Don Rosa! He has a whole comic series about the humble beginnings of Scrooge, I cannot recommend enough!
Fuecoco COULD still turn into a Jalapeño Snake and fit on the Chinese New Year. On that note, if it is a jalapeño if could be a Fire/Grass type and how neat if the starters turned into a secondary of the type trio they're effective against.
So nobody’s gonna talk about how Nintendo now has a grass cat that looks like fevine from loomian legacy and is probably gonna do something to take LL out?
Considering the fact that Snivy's final evolution loses its limbs and becomes a snake, it wouldn't surprise me if Fuecoco would end up the same, and thus becoming a snake and reviving the fire type zodiac theory again. Having said that, I pray that I am wrong and it does become a crocodile. I've currently got my eyes on Sprigatito right now, but as Mikey said, my opinion won't be final until I see the final starter evolutions.
Here's something that blew a lot of people's minds: Serperior still has arms. I'd definitely choose the water starter of gen 9, but we should really wait for the final forms in order to actually choose one.

@@jw__11 yeah that's true i guess the gimmick could literally be anything lol like seriously pokemon gimmicks just went wild and crazy first we got a gimmick that allows your pokemon to evolve even further and then we got ultra moves that can only be used once and then we literally got mega evo and z moves (that can be used 3 times) combined together but bigger, so this next gimmick might be something we won't even expect it can be anything imaginable like nobody knows what gamefreak wants to do it could be Fusion, Changing your pokemon to another form in battle, Adding a 3rd typing to your Pokemon's in battle, Edit : Umm.... So how do i explain this? If you watch the trailer again there was idk some sort of town lobby that showed every single typing in pokemon existence and at first when i saw this i was like oh maybe there's gonna be a new type that counters fairy i took a deeper thought into it and who knows this is just a theory but maybe there's gonna be 2 types added to counter fairy or for fun and regarding to my reply where i said "Maybe you can add a 3rd typing mid battle" what if this region is all about types and has that gimmick? Now i have a backup proof for this theory There's a lot of mechanics in pokemon such as Battling, Catching, Contests/Minigames , but in battles what matters are Moves, Typings, Stats, How far your pokemon has evolved, Exp and probably many others but Evolution Got it's own gimmick Moves Got it's own gimmick What do you think's next? Stats and Exp aren't that much of things in battle so the only thing left is Typing, Ok you've probably read my stupid theory this far so I'm gonna stop it call me a crazy deep thinker if you want, but hey that's just a theory A GAME THEO-
3:01 i thought the same thing, mostly with Sprigatito, hoping his final evolution is closer to something like Entei or even Xerneas (if he gets the fairy type which some people think he might)
I have two hopes for a possible new gimmick: 1. Don’t be as dumb as dynamaxing turned out to be. 2. Don’t be as broken as mega evolutions. If it’s something similar to megas, don’t just buff the Pokémon that don’t need them! Give love to some of the Pokémon not used as much or are considered “not good”.
Emmett will be fine ingo went back in time which means if he was to go back to his present day he would go back immediately after or at the same moment that he went back, heat transcended time and space he didn't go to a new dimension
I think it's in the snake Category, because Charizard is a Dragon and Delphox is categorized as a Dog. It's not literal but it's as close as it can be.
I just assumed that Cogita's descendants and Volo's descendants got together at some point in the future. Just because they're both Cynthia's ancestors it doesn't mean they have to be related.
18:40 i wanna say that they did actually put dynamax into the Sw/Sh logo because the Gym challenge Logo has the three swirls in the logo which symbolises dynamax. While it’s more subtle than the DNA of gen 6 and the literal Z crystals in 7 i think it still counts The thing is theres no way to guess from a single item like that, like who woulda guessed thats what Z crystals where before we was told?
Fuecoco has to be the best starter ngl. He's just built like a friend. He also looks like Jack's (PurpleCliffe's) last brain cell but ya know. I love how he just reminds me of Patrick from Spongebob and it's great. He reminds me of him because he looks like the scene with Patrick's thoughts being an Enigma and just the milk spilling in his head.
I have a theory about the Zodiac Theory: What if the Chinese Zodiac Theory was true, but it applies to ALL of the starters. Lemme explain: Incineroar: Tiger Serperior: Snake Charizard: Dragon Emboar: Pig/Hog And a lot more.
I want weed cat to be a mostly quadruped who can walk on two legs occasionally, you know, like pikachu. I like the idea of its design being very different from incineroar. I can imagine there being a rivalry between these two, cats are very territorial after all. It only makes sense for a lovable cutie and the big bad heel to but heads and get into scraps quite often.
Ooooo, sprigatito's final form could be based on a wrestling good guy, grass fighting to oppose the fire dark. People have already speculated it'll be some sort of swashbuckling grass fighting.
@@Marco-ge5kl actually nvm, a fairy type wrestler wouldn't make that much sense. plus if Fuecoco ends up as a fire/ghost type as expected, the types work well with eachother
I mean, Fuecoco could still gain some snakelike characteristics as it evolves. Look at the Oshawott line, it goes from otters to a seal, not the same animal.
@@harrisonshanks3114 A crocodilian minotaur would be a cool sight, doesn't feel as likely to me as a feathered serpent given Spain and South America's history together but it's still got a decent chance of being what happens.
Finally some who realizes its not too soon for the next generation of pokemon! So many people are surprised and say that it's too soon and I'm just over here like "it's been almost 4 freaking years since sword and shield what do you mean?!"
I still dont get how it works. Like.... People do know that Fenniken is a fox, right? Like its called the fox type pokemon and it looks NOTHING like a dog. Why are people saying gen 9 os when they break the cycle.
@@aldercyng7287 I guess it’s cuz foxes are still canines, would be the same if they did a fire donkey or zebra starter instead of a horse. They give themselves some creative liberty but still stick close enough to the original Chinese zodiac animal, but if Fuecoco isn’t serpentine at all when it evolves then the theory is disproven.
Right? I still think it will evolve in something that resembles the Mayan/Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent with a crocodilian like head and fused with the hot pepper theme. Fuecoco has some yellow feathery things in his head already. Maybe it will be Fire/Flying in the final stage.
After coming back to this channel after, what, three years? I’m glad to see that you’re just as funny and entertaining as when I stopped watching you. Very nostalgic for me, I love your content so much ❤️❤️❤️
For anyone who's curious:
With the final evolution of all starters, including regiona forms, in mind: 19 are bipedal and 8 are not.
That is 100% of all fire starters, 63% of all water starters, and 50% of all grass starters.
I was curious, so I did the math.
But i also feel there’s a difference between being humanoid and being bipedal. Like Feralligator is bipedal, but doesn’t feel super humanoid.

Speaking from experience, it actually is, to this day I still don't know if my brother is actually dead or not, and it tears me up inside.

I’m sorry bro I can’t imagine losing my brothers that would be horrible I can’t imagine 😢
Im sorry for your brother, i always fight with my little bro and sometimes i think i hatr him, but everytime we go somewhere and he gets lost my breathing gets ragged and can't think straight, i can't imagine how painful it would be to actually lose him.

I'm so, so sorry about your brother
I can't even imagine losing my brother (we almost lost him one time while riding our bikes, I'm never going there again)
The whole ingo and emmet thing actually breaks my heart, like when that comic came on screen I knew exactly what it was and I felt my heart shatter.
Think about it, you spend almost every single day with your twin sibling to the point where you work together in the same exact thing and are near inseparable, then one day your twin goes missing without a trace and a body is never found. They're never seen elsewhere in the world and all they can assume is that they died for unknown causes somehow and you're expected to live and cope with this unexpected loss. Every single day you tire just from trying to pull yourself up out of bed, the job you two worked at together feeling less like a fun activity to do with your sibling and more like a grueling chore that only reminds you of them. Not to mention that you're stuck with the pokemon they left behind, some of them maybe not even fully grasping that their trainer is considered dead and won't come back, and *cant* come back. Every time you look at them you're reminded of the thing you lost, and while you aren't bitter towards them and still treat them as your own, it hurts. It's like a shooting pain through your chest, like a dagger digging deeper and deeper until you cease to feel it anymore.

still doesnt make fuecoco fit tho
Well, we still don't know it's final evolution so, Fuecoco's final evolution could be snake like, just like how Snivy walked on two legs but then became serpent like with its final evolution
@@masterofgamesbrian7058 that makes sense
Poketubers really need to learn more about the Chinese zodiac and the Japanese depictions of it.
I do feel like the new grass starter has a decent chance of staying quadrupedal: it is only the fire type starters who's fully evolved forms seem to be allergic to having their front legs on the ground
Infernape and Typhlosion are an exception to that, but yes
@@jw__11 ??? Both Infernape and Typhlosion are bipedal though??
@@ISupportDeath they are mostly bipedal, but they occasionally walk on all fours
If fuecoco starts walking in two legs that's just basically copying feraligatr
@@hotdogzandcheese2466 I'm assuming it turns into a snake.
while sprigatito does stand up after it evolves, the upside is that fuecoco literally does the opposite like oshawatt
The fact it happened-
Me:"sees that it happens"
😐😑😶😡😠🤬
That's why I picked Fuecoco
Also because he has no thoughts
Fuecco is adorable
i dont like skeledirge that much, the colors are too bright for a ghost type, the jaw is lazily designed, and the flames are too distracting
When Ingo eventually gets sent back Arkoos could send him back right after the moment he left so Emmet isn't lonely
The best possible ending, happiness for both of them and since they're twins they keep their similar ages, etc. They deserve as much
I hoped we would’ve gotten Legends DLC. Imagine at the end of the dlc, you and Ingo get to go back to the present, and while Ingo stays in the Present with his bro, the protagonist can go back and forth. Someone in Jubilife Village can replace Ingo when it comes to rematches. I want my boy Ingo to be happy with his bro.
I do find it messed up that Arceus keeps you in the past even after you catch it. The protagonist’s family and friends in the present must be worried sick about them.
@@thatoneguy5343 Yeah, I was like: “Arceus, what the hell?”
@@Code_Lune I know right!? Arceus isekai’d you to the past to stop Volo, and you accomplish that, but keeps you in the past anyways. Sure, you got your friends and the Galaxy Team, but the protagonist likely had a life before Legends’s story. I was personally disappointed that Gen 9 was announced this early because I wanted GameFreak to focus on Legends a bit more with actual dlc.
Imagine in this theoretical dlc, they added the island that’ll eventually become the Battle Resort, and the Distortion World. Maybe we can get an actual storyline in the dlc where the protagonist and Ingo try to find a way home, with Ingo also wanting to recover from his amnesia, and Volo returns, either seeking revenge or atonement. I would totally pay for a dlc like this for Legends, but GameFreak is focusing on Gen 9, and I’m worried they’ll rush it. At least with Legends they took a bit more time with it.
i havent played arceus yet, but is it ever revealed *why* ingo was sent back? the protagonist was sent back because arceus needed to stop volo, but why was ingo sent back? And can arceus even send people forward in time? isnt that dialga's whole thing? maybe ingo and rei/akari could go on a journey to find their way home in a potential dlc.
Another good meme for the reveal:
*Pokefans during the reveal thinking it's Detective Pikachu 2:* I've connected the two dots
*GameFreak:* You didn't connect sht
*Pokefans:* I've connected them
Decidueye is only seemingly humanoid because of the type of owl it's based on. It's still built like an owl but you can see the full length of its legs which you can't always see on owls in real life.
Why is he so good at voice acting tho? That Doofenshmirtz impression sent me straight to summer vacation in the tri-state area, dayum. 3:47
As someone with a twin brother that I'm really close with I don't even want to think about how Emmet felt when Ingo disappeared that comic made me so sad
Arceus almighty I'm trying my best to not tear up after seeing that comic! Seeing that comic is just so heartbreaking! It's just a STAB to the heart (WHY DID I HAVE TO MAKE THAT PUN?!?! I'M TRYING NOT TO CRY AND NOW I'M SAD _AND_ MAD!!!), it feels just like whenever I see the fanart of Ahsoka Tano in regards to Anakin's turn to the dark side (one of the fan comics has her meeting Luke, saying that she wishes he could've met Anakin and not Vader, but then breaks down crying when Luke tells her that he came back to the light and that he _did_ get to meet him. The other is an image depicting her during Star Wars Rebels hugging Vader as she cries, with words in the top right corner saying "I won't leave, not this time." It breaks my heart every time I end up seeing those).
ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!! Now I'll never see that moment in the game in the cave with Ingo the same again!! When (not if, I do plan on obtaining a Palkia in an Origin Ball as well) I play the story again and get to that point I might _actually_ starting crying!! And the worst part is that I don't think we can really blame Volo for it too! From the sounds of it Ingo had already been there for enough time that he likely would've had to take some kind of tests with the Pearl Clan to become a Warden, tests that would have required being there _much_ longer than we had been! *ARCEUS DAMN IT!!!!! I'M GONNA MURDER WHATEVER ULTRA BEAST OR OTHER ENTITY FOR DOING THAT TO POOR EMMET!!!!!!*
Just saying, if Ingo makes it back to roughly the same time as he left, there's a good shot Emmet would never know he was gone without being told
@@skylergarza8371 I suppose that would be the "good" ending (if you ignore the new age difference between the two...depending on how long Ingo has been there before returning). But it's just too easy to think about the bad ending. I could even see Emmet going into full on depression and starting doing some of the things like resorting to trying to drink his sorrow away, tiredly searching for his brother until his demise, pushing away anyone else he's close to due to despair, or (and Arceus forbid this one happen) possibly take his own life (just _thinking_ that made me want to cry, and _writing_ it just broke the dam).
If time flows in parallel then the bad ending is a guarantee...and I don't like the bad ending at all, it's just too depressing (Arceus almighty! This game just keeps giving more and more reasons for why it is the most mature Pokémon game! Death, overbearing skepticism, Pokédex entries like Snorlax and Basculegion, Volo's insanity, powerful animals attacking you, and then you add in this deeper theory that isn't hard to start thinking about and it really proves just how much more mature of an audience this game seems to be made for)
I'm hoping Quaxly evolves into a Water/Fighting type, to be honest.
Also, whoever made these memes were pretty funny this month!
im hoping quaxly evolves into a water/dark spanish conquistador
@@thebananapikmin9160 That would be neat, too!
If Quaxly got the Fighting type, it’d be… A MIGHTY DUCK
@@itslexactually quaxly bouta evolve into kung fu ducky
I'm hoping for Fairy if for no other reason than Kingdom Hearts and Sora's got his dog (Granbull/Zacien) and Keyblade (Klefki) but there's no fairy type duck yet so he can't have Donald join the team.
In the trailer for SV, there's a giant sun dial with all the types. On the website, it says its an "open world adventure". I think that means there will be a gym for each type, that you can progress in any order, that the edges of the sundial point to.
That would be a cool idea, but it would slow the progression of the game if they make you do all of the gyms. They could only have the league require 8, which would balance it out. I would love to see this though, and it could make it so that each playthrough is a different experience.
That is such a good idea! This way you can replay the game multiple times and never have to worry about getting bored with the same few battles
@@Demighosttrombone I'm just wondering how the story can progress in that fashion.
@Zerosonic animations it could be that the evil team would have an admin for each type and depending on which gym you battle you would battle an admin of either the same typing or a typing that is strong against pokemon with a advantage on bug, like sending a water admin
I personally really like the fully evolved form of Sprigatito; its a literal cat magician.
spoilers anyone?
It has the move 'Flower Trick' where it throws a BOMB bouquet at the enemy, you can probably sweep some of the gyms with that!
same, i love the magician thief theme
Agreed, and a Tiger would’ve still looked sick, but honestly, in my opinion it looks better than Quaquaval, which is a win in my book.
Not only to I just not agree with the “should’ve stayed on all fours” squad (though I find their complaints hilarious), I absolutely love my Meowscarada.
I love my meowscarada too it is pretty fast and hits pretty hard and it was my first female starter and I named it mittens after one of my family cats
I love Meowscarada, and I could care less if future starters turn out humanoid. I personally really like the humanoid starters, because they just look so much cooler.
I think I have an answer to the meaning of "expanding the sky." You could do it by pushing back the ozone layer further into the atmosphere with the power of Rayquaza. With pokemon logic/video game logic, this could increase the size of the troposphere (where most airplanes and most birds fly in). It would give flying type pokemon more space to fly in. It also might be able to push the stratosphere (where supersonic jets fly and some birds can fly in) into the atmosphere which would also increase the overall size the world's atmosphere. This idea could also increase the size of Rayquaza's domain! Long live Team Sky!
Someone in my class started ranting at me about how Sprigatito looks like a recoloured Litten, so I hope it's final evolution looks nothing like Incineror just to spite him
Hes not wrog tho
@@thedyingmeme6 *S H U T*
@@thedyingmeme6 Yeah he is. It's a recolored Rockruff, not Litten.

11:23 Man, I didn’t even KNOW it was a game until around a year after I saw the movie.
I'm surprised how Mikey can continuously create fun skits for the sponsor
14:55 I've seen a theory which makes sense that Volo is actually a time traveler from further in the past, meaning he could be an ancestor of Cogita maybe. Just an idea that avoids the possibility of... that
If anything, he might be from the FUTURE, given he refers to Hisui as "ancient Sinnoh"
@@ditto7047 Or maybe Cogita is a time traveler, Cynthia from decades after the events of Diamond and Pearl
@@Swift96 interesting theory
4:04 HE GETS IT! I’m pleasantly surprised to hear someone know that typically post Gen 5, every generation has lasted only THREE years! I always found this current fact so fascinating. Did you know the only exceptions have been 4 years were Gens 4 and 5? Interesting…
Yes. The fact that Diamond and Pearl physically got delayed, and idk why Gen 5 wasn't 3 years. But the fact that we've had brand new Pokemon stuff for something like 20/26 years was kind of off putting. If they took more time the product could be better. See how in the Gen 4 delay era that's considered some of the best times for the TCG, the video game spin offs as well as the anime also have loads of "watch out for these cool new stuff".
Like sure I get that money will always be the driving factor, but when the quality seemingly is so hit or miss, you'd figure maybe taking a year off might do them good? Slow down the production schedule so that it's every 4 years. As Mikey proved 2020 was a hell of a year.
I think the extra year in delay could have been because of the story they wanted for black and white. Which, good for them, it is a super cool story.
And theres also the thing where black and white had no pokemon of any other region for a while in the game. I think reprocessing pokemon that's already been made would be easier than creating a whole thing entirely new.
Me: gen 9 confirmed (nothing) Me: Mikey explains 3 year gap from each gen from gen 5 onward (Real sh*t
Chyitha was in both gen 4 & 5
Some people needed that extra year to beat her & others needed it to get over her lol
I love how Mikey and Grunty Boi's relationship went from Mikey being angry at him, to Mikey being annoyed with him, to Mikey just being chill when Grunty Boi busts into his house with a "Hey dude, whats up?"
17:57 If the new region is based off the Iberian peninsula, I strongly think they’ll base Sprigatito’s final evolution on the Iberian lynx.
They could base fucoco off of baryonyx/Vallibonavenatrix/Camarillasaurus/Iberospinus
Probably baryonx as it's the most well known and iberospinus was discovered this year or late last year (I forget) and valio was discovered 2019 Camarillasaurus is possible but put into spinosaur family in 2021
So baryonx is probably what it will be based on if not a snake
Because baryonx has a croc like face and the way fucoco stands is similar to the dinosaur.
@@Frogboyaidan baryonyx isn’t spanish, it’s bri’ish i believe
I can’t think of a spanish spinosaur though
@@starlight0313 Baryonyx IS bri ish. For the spinosaurid evo, I'd say iberospinus or vallibonavenatrix. I would pick valli since iberospinus is a new species

I've never minded the humanoid starters but I will admit if the cat strands up (unless it's a puss in boots cat then I'll be happy), I'm throwing hands
I'm really hoping that Sprigatito's final evolution would be a Grass/Steel cat like Puss In Boots, so I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thought that.
I'm personally hoping for a Grass/Fairy to represent all of the beautiful flowers of the Iberian Peninsula. But a Puss In Boots-like evolution could be cool too.
It's worse for me going from humanoid to 4 legs (looking at you Samurott)
@@huntersandersiii4939 fr i remember choosing oshawott not knowing what the final evolution was.

Decidueye isn’t really “human”, it’s just a big Owl. That’s literally just what Owls look like normally 🤣
The only thing human-like about it is its emo haircut (which do approve. Gives it just the right amount of attitude, without making it humanoid)
And Primarina is part sea lion(I think?) and part mermaid. Mermaids are half human so it’s kinda justified
@@w1nterdays Primarina is the only "humanoid" starter that I can accept, because its based off of sirens/mermaids which use their human like appearance and majestic voice to bewitch sailors. So by making primarina look somewhat like a human it makes her into an extremely cool siren.

@@jinkwon8410 Yes, all we know for sure is that he was sent to the past (presumably by Arceus), but to me it feels like Arceus sent him back because he acknowledged his tremendous skill as a trainer as well as the weight of the calamity that had fallen upon Hisui, so Arceus sent Ingo back hoping he could combat this calamity but he couldn't comprehend the situation, possibly due to bewilderment or his amnesia
Never seen emmet but I know they are separated so P L E A S E .
17:52 like he said, I’m not sure what the middle or final evolution is for Sprigatito is but I am loving that cute leaf kitten! I really hope that it it’s something majestic and adorable AND it stays of all fours. We’ll just have to wait and see
I feel grunty boy become less and less corrupted with time because of Mickey's influence. They were enemys and now they're friends and now grunty boy is sharing instead of stealing.
Who's 'Mickey'?
9:00 You're discounting the possibility that Fuecoco pulls a Snivy and his arms and legs fall off.
Badger isn't on the zodiac. If the first evolution doesn't fit makes the zodiac theory wrong, Fuecoco proves it wrong. If the final form of Fuecoco can prove it right if it becomes a snake, then Typhlosion ended it back in Gen 2. Fox as dog is a stretch, but badger being the rat is ridiculous.

True
A friend and I had talked about how it felt like Gen 9 was coming too soon because Gen 8 still felt sorta new. You really put the whole yearly release schedule thing into perspective.
True that. As galar is barely even three years old. And the fact that we just got hisiu not to long ago. Perhaps they felt they should change their pacing with their Pokémon game releases as typically a new one is announce it seemed like in the past every 2-3 years later
17:40 It's crazy looking back now how this rumor was basically exactly what Skeledirge is.

Kudos for getting us excited for your ad reads.
Micheal: The dragon is the only reptile.
The snake: Am I a joke to you.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Mikey's impressions? Cause they're pretty freaking good!
Yes, I am starting to think he played doofenshmirtz under a false name.
I once saw a comic about Ingo when he arrived to Hisui, he was given the pearl clan's outfit and tossed away his damaged shirt, but when it came time to toss his jacket and hat, he couldn't and instead put them back on, like he lost his memory, but for some reason his subway leader outfit holds some sentimental value he can't describe nor remember where it came from.
The second I saw Fuecoco (that’s the crocodile right?) I instantly knew I wanted him
I don’t care what it evolves into. It’s cute and I’m picking it
I’m super excited for Scarlet and Violet, and finding out what place in the world they’re based off of
It's probably based on Spain
i think its based in spain
I'm interested, but I've barely known about them for half a week, and I thought it was a gag leak then
It’s confirmed Spain already
But what if Fuecoco turns into Embour
The grass cat stood up and now I am sad.
I'm so happy that Mikey is still making content, he's been one of my favorites since I was a kid, I remember when he first made the type matchups explained videos
For the last thing; that little thing is meant to portray the dynamax band as well. So the starlike shape we have seen now should in some form relate to a new gimmick, but it feels near impossible to guess what it'd be
Hopefully not Dymax.
Mikey saying the dragon is the only reptile on the Chinese zodiac:
Me: *existed on year of the snake*
You know, your logic for the pacing makes sense. Aiming for a Mainline Game every three years, with two side games between it. Everything changed when the Pandemic attacked.
If the game releases this year we should expect new content updates on a semi-regular basis. It wouldn’t surprise me if we got more about Pokémon Scarlet and Violent anytime this month or in April
I'm just fine until November thanks!! Happy and fine!
😁
I honestly thought gen 9 would break the tradition of every three 3 years so that the games can release at a proper time
Admittedly they outsourced BDSP
So it rechnically had more time to be worked on.
Whoever manages this channel please remove this spam bot
I figured it would be announced because they would want to build off the hype of Pokemon Legends Arceus
Remember how Gen 3 lasted for 4 full years before Gen 4 happened? Or how we actually got to spend a lot of time with Munchlax during Gen 3 with May catching 1? You have to wonder why Pokemon doesn't do that anymore?
The proper time is whenever they decide to release it.
His pure disappointment when it's revealed that the water starter walks on two legs, AND the grass starter walks on two legs and both look extremely humanoid.
18:46 While that is the Gym challenge league it’s also the red spiraling clouds above a dynamaxing Pokémon, so it may still be a new gimmick

So nobody’s gonna talk about how Nintendo now has a grass cat that looks like fevine from loomian legacy and is probably gonna do something to take LL out?
Considering the fact that Snivy's final evolution loses its limbs and becomes a snake, it wouldn't surprise me if Fuecoco would end up the same, and thus becoming a snake and reviving the fire type zodiac theory again.
Having said that, I pray that I am wrong and it does become a crocodile. I've currently got my eyes on Sprigatito right now, but as Mikey said, my opinion won't be final until I see the final starter evolutions.
Here's something that blew a lot of people's minds: Serperior still has arms. I'd definitely choose the water starter of gen 9, but we should really wait for the final forms in order to actually choose one.
technically the arms are still there just shrunken/never grew depends on POV

If this is true then gosh i genuinely have no idea what the gimmick is gonna be then cuz it really just looks like a cyan looking max revive
@@QP_lite I mean, the Sun/Moon gimmick very much looked like a standart revive until we knew what Z-moves were...
@@jw__11 yeah that's true i guess the gimmick could literally be anything lol like seriously pokemon gimmicks just went wild and crazy first we got a gimmick that allows your pokemon to evolve even further and then we got ultra moves that can only be used once and then we literally got mega evo and z moves (that can be used 3 times) combined together but bigger, so this next gimmick might be something we won't even expect it can be anything imaginable like nobody knows what gamefreak wants to do it could be Fusion, Changing your pokemon to another form in battle, Adding a 3rd typing to your Pokemon's in battle,
Edit : Umm.... So how do i explain this? If you watch the trailer again there was idk some sort of town lobby that showed every single typing in pokemon existence and at first when i saw this i was like oh maybe there's gonna be a new type that counters fairy i took a deeper thought into it and who knows this is just a theory but maybe there's gonna be 2 types added to counter fairy or for fun and regarding to my reply where i said "Maybe you can add a 3rd typing mid battle" what if this region is all about types and has that gimmick? Now i have a backup proof for this theory
There's a lot of mechanics in pokemon such as Battling, Catching, Contests/Minigames , but in battles what matters are Moves, Typings, Stats, How far your pokemon has evolved, Exp and probably many others but Evolution Got it's own gimmick
Moves Got it's own gimmick
What do you think's next? Stats and Exp aren't that much of things in battle so the only thing left is Typing,
Ok you've probably read my stupid theory this far so I'm gonna stop it call me a crazy deep thinker if you want, but hey that's just a theory A GAME THEO-

18:45 ah yes the Pokémon Gym Challenge League Thing AKA The Pokémon League
3:01 i thought the same thing, mostly with Sprigatito, hoping his final evolution is closer to something like Entei or even Xerneas (if he gets the fairy type which some people think he might)
the idea of that adorable little cat getting the fairy type makes me so happy
I have two hopes for a possible new gimmick:
1. Don’t be as dumb as dynamaxing turned out to be.
2. Don’t be as broken as mega evolutions. If it’s something similar to megas, don’t just buff the Pokémon that don’t need them! Give love to some of the Pokémon not used as much or are considered “not good”.
Dynamaxing actually isn't really that dumb as a feature, people just don't think it's creative because "haha pokemon get big"
@@Conorator Well, to be fair, it's really NOT creative, with the only non mechanical change being to just increase the Pokemon's size dramatically

I love how people who love the zodiac fan theory are saying “male crocodile is a bull” “it could become a snake”
I think it's in the snake Category, because Charizard is a Dragon and Delphox is categorized as a Dog. It's not literal but it's as close as it can be.
Think of the memes that would come out if Fuecoco evolved into a Fire/Dragon snake. Think about it. THINK ABOUT IT!
@@sora519 If "as close as it can be" includes a bigger reach than the fifth Halo game, then it's not a good theory.
@@savvythedivineyethuggable7493 crocodiles are legit can bulls and cows
@@diamonshade7484 *called
Look, that doesn't count. Get over yourself and this theory. It's been debunked for now. Deal with it.
I just assumed that Cogita's descendants and Volo's descendants got together at some point in the future. Just because they're both Cynthia's ancestors it doesn't mean they have to be related.
they themselves could've benn lovers at one point
I thought brother and sister we know pokemon ages are weird
18:40 i wanna say that they did actually put dynamax into the Sw/Sh logo because the Gym challenge Logo has the three swirls in the logo which symbolises dynamax. While it’s more subtle than the DNA of gen 6 and the literal Z crystals in 7 i think it still counts
The thing is theres no way to guess from a single item like that, like who woulda guessed thats what Z crystals where before we was told?
9:21 "The dragon was Charmander, and that's the only reptile on here"
Snake: Am I a joke to you?
Fuecoco has to be the best starter ngl. He's just built like a friend. He also looks like Jack's (PurpleCliffe's) last brain cell but ya know. I love how he just reminds me of Patrick from Spongebob and it's great. He reminds me of him because he looks like the scene with Patrick's thoughts being an Enigma and just the milk spilling in his head.
ah yes another example of the fire starter always being the favorite
I like also the others but I think I’ll pick sprigatito because I’m a cat person
@@travisscottfan221 I mean fire types are really cool overall can you blame the dude?? 😏😏🔥🔥
@@david_cool427YT yeah
@@david_cool427YT i can blame him
16:06 If you think that’s depressing you should see some of the fanfiction that’s been written about Emmet dealing with Ingo’s disappearance…
What could be more depressing then *THAT* Comic
I have a theory about the Zodiac Theory: What if the Chinese Zodiac Theory was true, but it applies to ALL of the starters. Lemme explain:
Incineroar: Tiger
Serperior: Snake
Charizard: Dragon
Emboar: Pig/Hog
And a lot more.
*Says that Fuecoco won't be a snake cause it has limbs*
Me : *Looks at serperior* This guy also used to own limbs
And Snivy was actually labelled as a snake.
@@savvythedivineyethuggable7493 True
I want weed cat to be a mostly quadruped who can walk on two legs occasionally, you know, like pikachu.
I like the idea of its design being very different from incineroar. I can imagine there being a rivalry between these two, cats are very territorial after all. It only makes sense for a lovable cutie and the big bad heel to but heads and get into scraps quite often.
Ooooo, sprigatito's final form could be based on a wrestling good guy, grass fighting to oppose the fire dark. People have already speculated it'll be some sort of swashbuckling grass fighting.
@@Marco-ge5kl grass fairy might work better
@@Marco-ge5kl actually nvm, a fairy type wrestler wouldn't make that much sense. plus if Fuecoco ends up as a fire/ghost type as expected, the types work well with eachother
or they could go to furry conventions together
lolno it also secondary dark@@Marco-ge5kl
I mean, Fuecoco could still gain some snakelike characteristics as it evolves. Look at the Oshawott line, it goes from otters to a seal, not the same animal.
Also male crocodiles are called bulls, so it would be a stretch, but you could make an argument for it being the ox
@@harrisonshanks3114 A crocodilian minotaur would be a cool sight, doesn't feel as likely to me as a feathered serpent given Spain and South America's history together but it's still got a decent chance of being what happens.
Snivy also looses it's leg and becomes a snake
@@Frogboyaidan It really is not that impossible.
1.) Give it a god damn rest.
2.) If you're including the final evolutions, then where does that leave Typhlosion?
17:45 : Theory about fire ghost Fuecoco evolution

The weird-looking starters that everyone loves
Finally some who realizes its not too soon for the next generation of pokemon! So many people are surprised and say that it's too soon and I'm just over here like "it's been almost 4 freaking years since sword and shield what do you mean?!"
I was single and living with my parents when I got shield. Now I'm married with 5 cats and a dog
Fuecoco MIGHT still fit, depending on how serpentine the other forms are. After all, Cyndaquil isn't exactly a rat, but it gets counted.
Just as Litten isn't as much of a tiger as Incineroar is, and Charmander isn't anywhere as dragon-y as Charizard.
Typlosion is more honey badger then anything.
I still dont get how it works. Like.... People do know that Fenniken is a fox, right? Like its called the fox type pokemon and it looks NOTHING like a dog. Why are people saying gen 9 os when they break the cycle.
@@aldercyng7287 I guess it’s cuz foxes are still canines, would be the same if they did a fire donkey or zebra starter instead of a horse. They give themselves some creative liberty but still stick close enough to the original Chinese zodiac animal, but if Fuecoco isn’t serpentine at all when it evolves then the theory is disproven.
Right? I still think it will evolve in something that resembles the Mayan/Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent with a crocodilian like head and fused with the hot pepper theme. Fuecoco has some yellow feathery things in his head already. Maybe it will be Fire/Flying in the final stage.
After coming back to this channel after, what, three years? I’m glad to see that you’re just as funny and entertaining as when I stopped watching you. Very nostalgic for me, I love your content so much ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been waiting for so long for this, thank you Micheal
