Little late to this but thanks so much to GDQ for featuring me and the game I love so much. And thanks to everyone that decided to check this out and give feedback to me 😊
Glorious run, hilarious couch. Chae was on its best behaviour for sure. For those looking/listening for the missed shiny: 39:23 (timer 38:52). We will never know
31:54 WELL ACTUALLY, this ISN'T the first Pokémon game with varying sizes. Pokémon GO has had size variation since the beginning. That's why there have been infamous research tasks like "Capture big Magikarp" and "Catch tiny Rattata."
Since they brought it up in the run. My advice for shiny hunting Tandemaus. Don't bother looking for the right color. Just go to the pokemon league area and auto battle until your pokemon refuses to fight one. My brother and I both got one in about an hour without even using any sandwiches.
They got the Glitch Exhibition. It's at the end of the video after they closed out to the "What's Next" screen since there was a last minute drop by Humble Bundle. 3:16:00 I think is where starts. It's a shame there was trouble with one of the glitches taking so long so he didn't get to show off as much as they planned.
I caught like 20 Buizel in the Horseshoe Plains and none of them were large enough for the quest. First time I catch a couple that just say they're from the Obsidian Fieldlands, I got two that qualified for it. I think they were on that path around the Lake Verity mountain.
Wish I had been able to stay up and watch this run, any pokémon run with Keiz and Corvimae is fantastic, then KungFu as host just made it perfect. If only we had Shen there to insult a pokémon so we could have donations towards him apologizing. Also, did they ever figure out if there really was a missed shiny?
I'm so glad the Dethrone God incentive was met. Thank goodness for squeezing the rules about unskippable cutscenes! I mean, I played Conquest. Arceus had an entire region descend into civil war to win its favor. Not gonna say Volo was right, but he at least had a valid point.
The only problem I have with the Cha(y)tot kerfuffle is that in the process Mei and Chat’s nickname for the latter unintentionally brands it as Chay-ot.
This is by far my favorite run segment of all times. The banter between the commentators is genuine and left me laughing and shaking my head. Wonderful to see the incentives were met by GDQ and what a beautiful send-off for Mike. Enjoy your vacation and see y'all soon.
There were multiple comments throughout the run about Scarlet and Violette needing updates for performance, and I'd just like to be the one to say it: maybe we stop letting Pokémon, the highest grossing franchise of all time, get away with unfinished and uninspired games?? Maybe next title, choose to not be a part of the positive feedback loop every time they have a buggy, glitch filled money grab scheme with graphics from decades ago, and start holding them accountable with our wallets to put real effort into their games again?
you are very much by far not the only person to say this. literally everyone and their mother has been complaining about it, it's just a topic that's been done to death so much the dead horse is now a pile of dust and people should be allowed to play and enjoy games even if they're heavily flawed without someone getting mad at them and telling them that they should've boycotted it. and boycotting won't do anything, not when the games sell such massive numbers. you are not going to be able to convince millions of people to not buy a game just by pointing out it has issues, even if they are inexcusable issues.
Overworld catching worked for Arceus but I really don’t think it works great for a normal mainline entry in the series. Arceus is super focused on you catching Pokémon and doing a bunch of tasks to fill out the Pokédex, with battling being much less focused. They want you catching tons of the same Pokémon, I just don’t feel it would fit for a normal entry to do that, especially with how easy SV already is

You're cool man!

LMAO that was exactly what I was looking for, thank you
I love that they just skip the intro of this game because it is absurdly LONG
Only for category extensions, unfortunately
According to halqery, it saves about 12 minutes. 0:12
This run truly reached gif levels of pronounciation debacle.
I love Pokemon runs at GDQ. Especially when Keiz is involved. And Fu doing the Pokerap was just *chef's kiss*
Shiny jingle is at 39:24 if you're curious. My gut tells me it was the wandering Staravia right before he went down the cliff
31:54 WELL ACTUALLY, this ISN'T the first Pokémon game with varying sizes. Pokémon GO has had size variation since the beginning. That's why there have been infamous research tasks like "Capture big Magikarp" and "Catch tiny Rattata."
This couch comm team is raw chaos & I am here for that any day
36:44 is an absolute gem of a sung donation.
Nearly choked on my drink with the 50:03 donation.
The PokeRap at 3:08)37 is icing on the comfy vod.
Fully in favour of adding a cooking segment next year called James Done Quiche 😂

While I wish we could have raised enough for the glitch exhibition, the moment we raised enough to fight Jod was incredible, and I wouldn't trade that
The glitch exhibition goal was met at the last second. It starts around 3:15:30
You clicked away too early, Humble Bundle came in with a 60k dono and pushed it over the line just after the pokerap!
As it happens, we did end up hitting the target during the break/recap, so he came back and did it. Check around the 3:15:30 mark.
Glitch Exhibition is at 3:15:21

I love watching runs like this where the vibe is just so FUN - excellent run, commentary, couch, AND host!
The Event Recap with Mike at the end was amazing! The story of him taking a nap midrace had me rolling 😂
... Shiny noise at 39:25?!
Edit: okay they did mention it later, don't mind me lol.
one of the best speedruns I've seen in yonks!
33:41 Plot Twist, It is Grass Plate Arceus 😂😂
there was totally a shiny noise @ 39:24
edit: nvm they mentioned it a few moments later 😂😂
this was chaotic commentary and i fucking loved every second
Thanks 🙏
Shiny sparkle noise at 39:24
Pleasant surprise to have keizaron on commentary lineup

"Unpopular opinion..." says the couch member as they repeat the most echoed opinion in the fanbase 🤣
Wish I had been able to stay up and watch this run, any pokémon run with Keiz and Corvimae is fantastic, then KungFu as host just made it perfect. If only we had Shen there to insult a pokémon so we could have donations towards him apologizing. Also, did they ever figure out if there really was a missed shiny?
love the energy that corvimae brings to these panels/couches, what a fun and interesting game to run!
Imagine an Alpha Wailord. xD
39:25... Was that a shiny sound, or just the battle start jingle? #confused
I'm so glad the Dethrone God incentive was met. Thank goodness for squeezing the rules about unskippable cutscenes!
I mean, I played Conquest. Arceus had an entire region descend into civil war to win its favor. Not gonna say Volo was right, but he at least had a valid point.
Appreciated.
Helqery is amazing, and the couch is hilarious! Can't wait for another GDQ!
The only problem I have with the Cha(y)tot kerfuffle is that in the process Mei and Chat’s nickname for the latter unintentionally brands it as Chay-ot.
pokemon
agree
Nice
There was a shiny ding at 39:25.
Pokemon runs in GDQ are the best!!
i used to pronounce Misdreavus in a super french way like Mis-dray-vous. I still nickname them drayvous when I catch them
Shiny @39:23 ? I think I heard the sparkles? Or am I crazy?
Okay. It was confirmed shortly later
Shiny pokemon 38:54, you can hear the sparkle
This is by far my favorite run segment of all times. The banter between the commentators is genuine and left me laughing and shaking my head. Wonderful to see the incentives were met by GDQ and what a beautiful send-off for Mike. Enjoy your vacation and see y'all soon.
Anybody know who the announcer is?
Hearing the whole "chay-tot" debacle reminds me of "Kazza like Pizza!"
I dont know if anyone noticed but I believe the Glahlye you rode past after catching yours was a shiny. I swear I see red eyes.
I'm pretty sure that was just the static alpha Glalie. It's hard to tell with it, since alphas also get red eyes.
Let's go Chay!
@39:25 no one noticed the shiny sound? :(
Yes! Pokemon Legends! Also, love that hair, its amazing.
Is.... is that the shiny sparkle noise at 39:24 ?????
Edit: oh my god it was. my heart is broken!!!!!
Where did the runner get their physical copy of the Pokédex?!

That is the largest Swinub in history
@14:45 - the run's already going off script. This'll be good.
Personally, my favorite Pokemon are Sighlveyon and Altayrea.

While we are on the topic of Pokemon name pronounciations, anyone what to talk about Charmeleon - the burnt sugar eeveelution
milotic more like milos tic tacs
Did they ever figure out whether there was a shiny that spawned in the early game?
2:53:27 Dethrone Jod
Pokemon; Rollout!
Umm actually... it's pronounced legends "arkoos".
I want Pokemon Legends archies
There were a couple times Mae was talking while Meli was on screen and I imagined that as the character's voice lol
cool hair
I was a bit underwhelmed by the Arceus fight. I needed less than 10 tries and I was prepared to sit there the whole day.
I forgot how pretty Volo is....
First! Anyway, cool run!
Firts!
