Pokopia fans are constantly switching between depressed and silly
The game is kinda like that too huh
@Foc@Focaldesert it’s a dystopia but you can build happy towns
@Focaldesertyeah.. “Wow! We completed the Pokémon centre!”
“I miss my trainer Ditto, I miss him a lot”
@3r0de"me too tangrowth"
Depressed people can be very silly
That "Let's get this place HUMID" is so unreasonably funny to me
LETS GET THIS PLACE HUMIDDD
Lol true!😂
Let's get this place Humid
Basically the plot of fallout 3 😂
@whitewolf-dz8dy tbh as someone who lived in the area that becomes the capital wasteland, its already plenty humid
1:27 I don’t know how else to say this, but I’m pretty sure labelling it NSFW was a joke. (Hence the "otherwise you'll need to explain to your manager why you're crying" comment.
I believe this is the case
some subreddits also mark Spoilers as NSFW
i labled it that way because thats what the creator did
Nah, it’s not safe for me to be experiencing existential dread while at work
I understood him as: It's safe for work because it's not so sad that it would make him actually cry.
2:00 Next game they drop a dex entry that says Tangrowth can live for thousands of years
They are known to live at least a couple hundred years
Tangela evolves into it by knowing ancient power. That seems to be the pokemon equivalent of Time Wizard in Yu-gi-oh. It just gets really old.
That comic of pikachu wanting ditto to become ash is gut wrenching 💔
Bro I can't 😭😭😭
In the JP version of Pokopia, the dialogue of the Bulbasaur you meet near the beginning of the game is to show that they are a gyaru (or gal to some). This revelation has because the trend of people drawing gijinka's of Bulbasaur as a gyaru.
Oh so they're female all this time, considering how people have been drawing Bulbasaur as a female...Gotcha.
I knew venasuar was female, I didn't know the whole line was female in this game, cool.
A few of the talents of Hololive (mainly on the JP side) saw this and rolled with it.
uchigidane
also i think the equivalent to english speakers (at least on a voice level) would basically be valley girl, just in case anyone was struggling to imagine it in the dub
bulbasaur would also totes use emoji spam to emote
"Lets get this place HUMID" DUDE WHO STARTS A CONVERSATION LIKE THAT
Well, I will, now
The humble Monsoon Season:
15:49 Mikey clearly missing the joke about these pokemon learning so many TMs/HMs that they really have no place learning. Surf being a big example, since they are all weak to water.
not just weak to water
they're so heavy, how do they not sink😅
Remember that he's autistic, he struggles a bit more getting the ironies than the average person
@VenomRider_1312buoyancy! Hah
@VenomRider_1312because you RHYDON A SURFBOARD!
I think it’s implied that the human you see in the end credits is Ditto’s trainer, as they have a Ditto doll in their space station window.
yes, it is implied
yeah, i dont understand how people just miss that. it's been a very show dont tell story as it's not trying to overtake the cute vibes. 'implied' yes, but it's pretty much confirmed. i guess these people need it spelled out to them slowly. maybe they are the reason why we can't have good movies anymore that doesnt overly explain the plot LOL
@KwehShiro true
@KwehShiro people like assuming the saddest outcomes ig, even if it doesn’t make sense
11:23 yes Mikey… unfortunately that was a spot on impression
Tf you mean unfortunately
@AxoTheProtogenAlex jones is a bad guy
It was perfect and it makes happy
Where is that from btw?
@novamaster9645 InfoWars host Alex Jones, in one of his calmest monologues, beats a table with his script while saying the quote we’re commenting on.
So i have a theory about our Trainer in Pokopia:
You know how so many places always say that the further you are out in space, the more time passes on Earth? You know how long that Rocket flew during the Credits? Yeah, quite a bit. There's a chance, if thats taken into account, that our Trainer could be still alive, if only a bit older. All while Earth has lived througt Centuries, as stated in game
Spoilers for the credits scene of pokopia:
The rocket that gets launched after the team initiation challenge is shown to be travelling through space and ends up next to some space station.
This space station has a ditto plush in the window and a person comes out of it to inspect the rocket.
I believe this is Ditto's trainer.
The rocket also asked you to input a photo that was special to you so, if my theory is correct, the trainer would see the photo and know that Ditto is still ok, even after all this time.
Time dilation is a good point!
@BooTube5 That's what I thought. We know the people are still alive (that Team R grunt was fine, after all), and I think it's just fun to think we were a Team R Pokemon the whole time, and maybe even those journals we found were our trainer's.
Time dilation isn't about distance flown, it's about the speed you are traveling. You need to be traveling near or at light speed to experience a significant amount of time change, so really it's a question of whether humans could develop that kind of technology by the time they had to leave Earth
@fionam5707 They casually have teleporters in regular office buildings (gen 1) so yeah I’d say they have the tech
The Haunter clip just made me think of the fight between Android 17 and Piccolo from DBZA:
“Why are you backflipping?”
“To gain Distance!”
“YOU CAN FLY!”
12:30 giratina haters when they need a PET scan (strangely, antimatter doen't seem so bad anymore)
Oh the out of context clip guys are gonna be happy with this 3:54
It’s my birthday today, and I just wanted to say this. I’ve been watching you since I was 5, and now I’m turning 17 that makes me an OG fan. You’ve done so much for me over the years, and I honestly can’t thank you enough. You were one of the first people I ever subscribed to, along with MatPat and Scrubs. I really hope you know how important and helpful you’ve been to me. Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart.
happyy birthday may you have many many more 🎂
Happy happy birthday!! 🎉
🥳🥳🥳
Happy birthday
Joyous Anniversary of Existence!
7:07 Mikey the word you are looking for is Yandere and yes they are terrifying. You do not want to know how far those women will go for a love. I never wanna see Future Diary again.
What happened the first time you saw Future Diary?
He got stalked
@123spurksYuno Gasai probably just that
you phrased this as if yanderes were real and not a fictional trope
One of these days, we're gonna have a sponsor segment, and it's just gonna be Trinity in the team skull uniform, catching Mikey off guard, and Grunty boy just sneezing in the kitchen, wondering if he forgot something
18:16 This is actually consistent with how Ash's Pikachu evolved from Pichu
A lot of the Pokémon have really tragic stuff around them in Pokopia, but Paras is genuinely gut wrenching, simply because of how sweet he is ahead of time, and how zombified Parasect is.
Excuse me for the crudeness, but 7:15 the dump truck on that Regigigas?!
Even here, I cannot escape the RegigigASS comments
THAT’S what your eyes went to first? Guess we all have our preferences
She's a big woman
@mielthemouseWell you shouldn't have cheeked her up that much!
Her Regis are gigas
02:00 so vines live for about thirty years, lets say tangrowth is around 20-25 y. o. in pokopia. So my calculation says the humans left aroun 10-15 years before the events of pokopia
But you have to consider that Tangela evolves using ancient power, that awakens ancient energy inside them (like Yanmega and Mamoswine), so it's possible that extra energy allows them to extend their lifespan to way bigger lengths. (Not to mention that their bodies aren't 100% vines, so they might be just animals that grow vines)
But a note said the Skylab’s would be in the sky in 700 years and there in the sky
your first mistake is using real life logic for a video game like this
Any of your gen1 30 year old Pokémon die
8:03 Groudon is a member of TEAM SKYYYY!!!
At this point all the super ancient Pokémon should be part of team Sky. Kyogre flies.
Poor Numels, tho
4:37 It's the Team Sky influence and all the birding trust 😂
4:49 Kiana art! To anyone who doesn't know who she is, she was a storyboard artist on Pokemon Path to the Peak (the miniseries about the tcg) and she's also the creator of 'pretty pretty please I don't want to be a magical girl' and as far as I can tell, it's in part because of her pokemon fanart that she got Jessie's VA to voice one of the characters in IDWTBAMG
She also works on Big City Greens and managed to get a Team Rocket parody in there
She's also the person who does the great jessie x delia art!
10:59 you do need Torkoal for the oven recipe, but you can use a completely different fire type to get the oven lit- Scorbunny was my cooking companion-
I know they are a bunny but pleas don't cook them
I only care about inteleon when it comes to the galarian starters because i5 was my first one and I just didn’t use it but got champion in Pokemon sword😅😅😅
POKEMON *clap* *clap* MEME REVIEW
0:44 I just realized that NSFW warning is a joke.
The Lucario with the Bowie knife is especially funny to me because I named my my ZA Lucario 120 after the buck 120 (the knife used in scream which is also a Bowie)
Not me tearing up like 3 times in the first 4 minutes lmao
25:59 I think I have been a fan for a long enough time to be promoted to an air conditioner.
Also, the timing for him to say this with the meme being one of Rotom-FAN...!
7:31 Grandma Gigias' slow start patience is on its last turn for this family photo-
Family has a tenecy of fraying one's last nerve
18:55 insert AZ 3000 years meme here
3000 years
@BJGvideosthank you
13:47 Missing out big by stopping short of Sun/Moon. Like it's different and weird looking but you can tell the people making it had a lot of fun and there's so many references for the old heads.
Sun & Moon anime got me back watching the anime. It was FUN!
The S/M series was so fun!
11:29 Why was that actually such a good impression though😭😭😭
14:27 maybe hail yeah, should now be let's snow ❄️
Nonchalant Mikey 👀🗿
26:05 Oh so that means that you could update say Pokemon Talk.
Finally someone to join the cause
17:49 the thing is that this actually works, with the whole snacksworth mini plot.
4:50 Fun Fact! Kianna Mai was a contestant on an art themed episode of Game Changer which had a Pokémon themed challenge judged by Sarah Natochenny, the voice of Ash in seasons 9-25.
That _was_ an alarmingly good impression Mikey
9:13 If you want to play with a good Castform, I recommend Radical Red. They buffed its stats and reworked its ability to work as a flexible weather setting ability depending on which weather rock you hold. It'll also set the corresponding weather again when you use Weather Ball, so you can always win the weather war without spending a turn doing no damage.
Sadly Mikey is not really a fan of high difficulty hacks but I agree the castform buff was really great
@arthurrezende4943There's an Easy difficulty option. It's probably still more challenging than a Vanilla game, but it should be nowhere near as difficult as regular RR
7:05 yandere
7:13 Regigilfas
7:18
Elsea: Damn
Sandygast: Don’t worry I know the feeling
Iron Jugulis:True Dat
26:35 We need to see Mikey's fiance as Grunty Boi's Team Skull GF at some point. Make the joke come full circle lol
Yes, please! I'd bribe Mikey into doing it if I could
Mikey:trying to act cool
The second after that sentence: 0:04
20:20 dragon claw is now boosted by sharpness in Champions despite no Sharpness users learning it. My hopium is that they do what you said with Sceptile, that would make it infinitely better.
6:30 oh gaaaaaame freeeeeeeeak
Mikey not even noticing how he mentioned us "fans" when Rotom Fan is on the screen lol
3:38 I'm contractually obligated to pick Bulbasaur every time I go through Kanto. I have a life-size plush living on my bed. I legally have to pick Bulbasaur every time I go through Kanto.
29:14
Oh nooooo he got the Hoenn special 😭
1:56 We have no idea how long pokemon live for, but we do know that space travel takes a long time, especially if they didn't land on the nearest planet. It would take a decade just to reach pluto, but for mars it would take a little less than a year, but in the end we saw them in a ship or pod of some kind indicating that they've likely had enough time to create new spacecrafts.
Everyone wake up there is a meme review!! ❤❤
Clicked on it as soon as i got the notification.
yay
I saw the notification for this
It's 2:30PM
@PurpleAwesome it’s 20:12 pm for me lol
Absolute cinema
3:08 Is Greninja *not* SLAY?
Greninja is a twink that somehow tricked everyone into thinking he isn't because of all the aura farming.
POKÉMON MEME REVIEW
16:42 MENACING
Aw shucks my animatic that my friend posted in the sub didn't make it
Will you make content on Pokemon Champions?
Maybe a Metronome battle league?
I mean Castform is in the game.
I hope MBF or MML make a comeback lol
24:25
"mr tangrowth
A second lugia just hit the tower"
7:02 Yandere, and yes, run.
13:26 This Meme Review contains a Silvally in it, so it’s now a 10/10
6:43 Yay, I finally got you to say my name :3
My reaction to your regi designs is further proof I am a lesbian, good job!
@Possibly_Jayden Glad to help!
I love your art Miel!
"I love being special... AND PHYSICAL!" why is he so funny? 😂
01:28 Ditto's trainer is not dead, we see them in a spaceship at the end of the credits.
Even if the humans left Earth hundreds of years ago, those same humans could still be alive due to time dilation during space travel.
Also with how aging just isn’t reliable in universe lmao
20 years as 10 years old feels like immortality
10:11 I would like to share my pokopia experience, I am currently soft locked in bleak beach because trubbish decided to just not give me his quest
4:49 it’s the second way! They have sooo many good comics of team rockets and stuff it’s so nice.
I think he got left in 2024😂 0:04
7:17 is this shidou ryusei
18:55 my younger brother's school does a RUclips vid each day for morning announcements, and twice apparently some kid brought a Squirtle and bulbasaur plush in and did a mini pokemon talk for announcements.
29:05 my all time favourite is Maractus, I know the feeling
Someone probably already said it, but the work Mikey is looking for is yandere. And it would be Registeel.
Had a feeling he was referring to that.
17:42 You becoming friends with Undyne be like!
Amazing vid as always and amazing art by the artists ^°^
Will there be no more episodes of pokopia?
07:18 do y’all not realize she is flipping us the bird?
I wouldn't mind if she was flipping my bird
Mikey is such a nonchalant, cool, and charismatic guy.
“I’m going to act cool” Precedes to show montage of him acting like a crazy person
21:36 amoonguss
vent sus riptor-vent
26:26 Let's goooo! I got in meme review!!!
28:38 TWICE!!!!!!!
7:13 I believe the term is "Yandere"
Also there are more concerning things to be addressing in that picture
Is that a reference to the uniform, and also Registeel’s old sprite that got removed?
9:50 this is why I used the wooden Planks
Genuinely was waiting for this video lmao
Pokopia is peak
10:48 so even in a 'good' game, Pokemon still screws up massively.
Absolute TV Time!
Yo, it's tenna!
Hat-tenna
the family's fighting again tenna
14:23 remember when Jaiden had that one froslass battle in her pokemon silver nuzlock ya she’s going to hate mega froslass😂😂😂
If it makes you feel any better, time works differently in space. It could have been hundreds of years on earth, but only a few wherever the trainer ended up. I thought as the doppleganger of Captain James Holden, you would know that.
7:03 Yandere
I think 'Depression Pokemon Meme Review' would have been a better name.
MANDJTV redditors cutting onions with those Pokopia memes
6:54 Purplecliffe: 😳
I know the feeling of liking a Pokemon that most others seem to hate ...
I absolutely LOVE Carbink. I want Plushies of them ... O.O
23:23 He included a video that had a John skit a skit of him and then a purplecliffe skit but paused on it and just cut away always makes me sad they aren't a trio anymore but they have made their own choices and they where theirs to make so I respect that they don't associate anymore but cmon man its just a skit but at the same time yes I get why you wouldn't show it.
Yeah it makes me sad too but they made there own decision and we have to live with that
7:41 …. I have no words, but I must explain. Squirtle is sitting on the air jet. Turtles can breathe through their rear. The air jet is pumping oxygen into squirtle to keep him breathing underwater.
Tangela and tangrowth usually live for around 400-500 years I think, sooo… 1:44
7:03 the term you're looking for is "mommy"
28:55 My favorite is Inteleon, but everyone hates James Pond.
Ey! Another Inteleon fan :)
@THGMR-ox7sdAyyy!!!
8:00 Kyogre's MASSIVE mits holding that tiny cell phone is making me so happy 😂😂😂
2:32 Pokemon using human weapons is always funny to me 😂 like imagine inteleon pulling out a gun
Clawitzer giving up the claw for an actual gun
7:17 Regieleki as a thirst trap creator is so unexpected 😂
Am I the only one who didn't have a problem with the path thing for torkoal and slowpoke?
