@@prowertastic8136 Actually, there's a lot of implication that he tends to sleep very occasionally... Just in weird times. One instance is how he has a Komala. I bring this up due to how Pokémon trainers tend to have Pokémon related to and reflect themselves. Larry tends to know quite a lot about the Pokémon also during his conversation with Poppy. Second is how he had actually fallen asleep standing up whilst Hassel was talking to him. Thirdly, a conversation between Geeta and Hassel regarding a bell reveals that Larry tends to be somewhat problematic when being called to come in during Champion testing. Implying that he'd be asleep whereas nobody else in the E4 would be.
OMG that is such a good point. Honestly I thought that was the only moment he really felt kinda like a dick but when you look at it that way it makes sense.
While not stating "Ex-Champion" directly, Kieran definitely jabbed at Drayton while in the cafeteria so more then reasonable he was eager to throw shade

The stark contrast between becoming champion in Paldea and in BB Academy is incredible. In Paldea, our win is celebrated. Everybody is so proud of us. In the BB Academy, everyone's disappointed their reigning champion was so easily defeated by some nobody foreigner.
@@flallana18And that we literally saved Paldea to anyone other than Briar. There's also the difference of champion rank in Paldea versus just being the champion in the academy, meaning that people would be disappointed to lose their champion instead of being proud of our ability in Paldea.
In Paldea, we become a Champion-rank, meaning one of the established top trainers of the region through the academy and authorised by the Paldean Pokémon League. So we’d have a high standing when winning the Academy Tournament (which was of course just thrown together by Nemona to have students and staff battle it out). BB League doesn’t mean being the same standing as a regional Champion. It’s basically the school’s battle club like an after school club. It doesn’t quite hold the same stakes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had treated other kids the same way after they got knocked out of the Champion position almost right after claiming it. The school does seem more distant in how they treat each other as trainers outside of the club.
In fairness, Paldea has a very non-standard usage of the term champion that allows for multiple people to hold the title at once. Unlike other regions there is no element of an old champion being dethroned and having their reign ended, just a new one being added to the roster of co-champions. Its purely a good thing to be celebrated. So in general its a major contrast to how any previous game handled the concept of champion. Also, Kieran was an asshole while serving as champion and the only thing he had going for him was 'might makes right' so once he lost most people weren't too broken up about his reign ending. Even the people who liked him didn't mind because they were hoping getting an ass whooping would knock some sense into him and make him cease with his edgelord routine that he picked up while being obsessed with beating the MC.
After everything, he becomes more accepting little by little of his parent (depending on version) and their accomplishments. It helps him decide on his own path.
That was such a low blow. Even if it was more tired and waking up or imprinting like a new born. Kieran sees the pokemon he wanted again go to the player. Even the magic rock turtle wants to kick his self esteem. Poor boy he tried. Wonder if I can give him one of my Master Balls as a replacement. Cheer him up
For those who have reached this point in the game but havent done so yet: Carmine talks about how she is reminded of the Crystal Pool and some of the books at the desk in the underdepths also meantion the place.

To explain Tera Shell, it's kind of like Multiscale in that it only works when Terapagos is at full HP. Instead of reducing damage however, it makes it so that all attacks are resisted (except Ghost which it's already immune to). As for Tera Starstorm, when the user is the Stellar type, it becomes super effective against Terastallized targets. When used by Terapagos in its final form, it becomes a spread move.
You forgot to mention that when Terapagos has Stellar Terastalized, Tera Starstorm deals neutral damage to all non-Terastalized Pokemon; and yes, Terastalized Pokemon receive supereffective damage Stellar-type Tera Blast works actually the same, minus targeting both opponents in Doubles, and has its' base power increased to 100, but it lowers user's Attack and Special Attack by one stage. Which is a bit sad, but otherwise it would be broken as hell, ESPECIALLY since every Pokemon in Paldea Pokedex (barring Magikarp, Ditto and Terapagos) can learn it. But Contrary Pokemon certainly benefit from it.
For those who don't know. Stellar type keeps your Pokemon's original typings, but also provides a boost to all it's moves, regardless of types, but only for one turn.
so its a one time stab boost? i guess its mostly useful cause it doesnt change your type, so if you want to, say, boost an electric move but not gain weakness to ground.
Its once PER type. So lets say your mon has 4 different types of moves, all the types get a boost once. Thats why stellar is best used on diverse movesets
I'd imagine kinda useless unless you got a very niche idea. Like trying to abuse a Contrary ability Pokemon with it. Because if your pokemon is in its Tera Stellar form and you use Tera Blast, your attack and sp attack drop 1 level as a trade off for the "Its gonna be effective no matter what Tera Type your opponent has so long as they're terastalized to begin with" thing. So you can imagine this being fun for Contrary users. @@jonathangoodwin5609

Michael there is still two key things you have to do. One is get the ability to fly around from one of the steel elite four girl and fly up to the Tera ball in the terrarium to get some insane items. Two is take terapagos to the crystal pool in kitakami, I won’t spoil what happens there.
I have to say, during that final scenario, I just felt *so bad* for poor Terapagos! Like, he just wanted to be a happy little turtle friend, and then Keiran just had to go and chuck a Master Ball at it from behind, and then force its powers to go haywire and out of control. I just.... Poor little turtle friend.... ;^;
If you use Ogerpon during the fight with Kieran, he will be pissed off and say something like 'You've got some nerve bringing out that orge now of all times?!'
>Giant crystal turtle looms over you, about to destroy you Sinestcha: Hello dear, would you care for some nice tea? Cleric: Ah thanks for your hospitality.
Since Mikey has finished the DLC story, I hope to see him re-challenge the past trainers to see how they've powered up. Especially if he were to challenge (in either a League Club battle or in the Academy Ace Tournament) Geeta again!!!!!!!!!!! He would be quite somewhat impressed in having a rematch against her.
Michael has helped Kieran overcome his inferiority complex, and we'll see what's to come with the new Paradox Pokemon. Or maybe he'll see a new mythical Pokemon in Serebii and look forward to Pokemon Day next year.
@@flallana18 Wait really? Not a thing? That is incredibly sad. I wondered if there was some hidden dialogue about it somewhere, but there probably isn't. Very sad.
Transitioning from when we last fought Kieran many times up to now, practically no one of Kieran's past team members remained except Dipplin evolving into Hydrapple {except for the slight change in the Poli-family} - Makes me wonder that when Kieran is "back to normal," I am curious what his real regular main team will be if rematched?
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast Read more at your own risk - It's ok. I'm well aware of Mochi Mayhem. Albeit, all I got to see up close when Kieran fights is just Poliwrath, Porygon-Z, Grimmsnarl, & Hydrapple. It only changed Politoed with Poliwrath again. If only the last 2 were shown
I was overleveled, yes, but luck also decided to choose me. I crit like four times, and half of those were off of a single Make It Rain. It was pretty funny, but I kinda feel bad; Kieran was _not_ mentally okay.
I was full 100s but that didn't make the previous ones much easier. These battles were legit tough (I didn't EV train or anything this was my main game team plus Ogrepon) Kind of makes it feel crueller. Kieran looses to you the worst despite everything. I'm just glad he comes around in the end. Couldn't take it if we left him just broken
Since there's so much double battling here, I'd like to see how well slush rush Cetitan works alongside Ninetails. I feel like there's potential for a good ice team you could run.
40:39 tera starstorm suddenly dealing a super effective hit makes this feel like a protean style scenario, so it changes its type to the type of the last used move.
Tera Starstorm is a Normal-type move, but when Terapagos has Terastalized into "Stellar" type, the move deals typeless damage. But against Terastalized opponents, it deals super effective damage
@@nullvoid1x I know, but I wish there was more that we did in Area Zero. Like have more stuff with Terapagos instead of the game just showing it to us, we fight it, and then it’s done. I also wish there were some new paradox Pokémon to be found down there
I love how 34:35 is jarringly reminiscent of the scene in legends arcoos at spear pillar where dialga/palkia protects you from the other's origin form. Except that this time the player chose to save Kieran, not the actual pokemon (altho I'm sure the Agias duo (thanks steel e4 member) would choose to save Kieran)
“Their dead now so it’s archaeologically”. Used that in court after I got caught grave robbing. It didn’t hold up. Now I’ve been sentenced to 30 years of community service for my local museum.
I haven't been able to to much after a soccer injury that caused me to break and sprain my ankle. Your videos have helped me through that. Thanks Mikey!
I mean Mikey makes a good point about our character being 'scared' because the first time we went to the 'bottom' of Area Zero; we found the AI version of the dead parent of one of our buddies that had a device capable of warping time itself and we had to stop it! Not to mention the additional trip to capture the more violet version of the ride Pokemon we used throughout the game that apparently KILLED Arven's parent! However, the DLC characters look at this as a fun little field trip with an eccentric scientist, an overly enthusiastic gal pal and her vengeful brother...
Drayton is my favourite character from this dlc, carmin and kieran are close 2nd and 3rd respectively, but man that kieran catching tarapagos instantly with the masterball has got to be one of the craziest moments in pokemon games, like bro that was so sudden and no one saw it coming too, like i know he was saying all the time that he'll catch tarapagos but i didn't expected him to do so in such a manner. Also gamefreak really needed to nerf keiran with that goofy ahh politoed and breaking his masterball.
Oh there’s a cool Treasure after completing the DLC story. You need to get the Flying Upgrade/ Meal for the Ride Mon, to fight a Stellar Garchomp to unlock the Crystal Gate.
They explained that anyone that beats the BB League gets one right as you’re handed one of your own, so that’s where Kiki got it from, more than likely.
thing I noticed is that in almost every major battle theme you can hear a bit of the tera raid battle theme like terapapos theme is kind of composed of some different sound effects like at one part you can hear the sound that plays when you terastilaze (sorry if I wrote that wrong) and at 35:53 you can hear a bit of the tera battle theme
Kieran is no joke. Even though yes, my team wasn't the best or competitively built, I got crushed the first 3 times I tried beating him. Good job to you for beating him first try lol Edit: I reworked my team a bit, swapping my Exeggutor for a Malamar with Superpower and (Contradict?) and my Alolan Golem was swapped for Iron Hands built for doubles better. I'm not going to re-switch afterwards. I gave my Archaludon a better ability(Stamina) and leveled up my team a lot. When I caught the tera type Duraludon, he was fighting type and I kept it like that so Body Press is extra nasty. I was able to sweep him easily on my fourth try, losing only Iron Hands due to him not really being great anyway and me forgetting to teach him Protect.
Spoilers: Stellar Tera Type doesn't change typing at all, it grants a gem boost to a move of each type once per battle, and Tera Blast is super effective against all terastallised mons at the cost of -1 atk and sp. atk. Tera Shift is Multiscale. Oh yeah, Go Do Perrin's Quest for some goodies.
Geeta mentions they haven't had the time to go to area zero I love/hate the idea of her slowly turning to Larry and being like "Hey bud, you "want" some overtime?"
9:36 Not gonna lie at first I was kinda mad at Drayton for that, but then i thought about how much of an a-hole Kieran was being to everyone in the academy just because we have Ogerpon and he doesnt and it just made me love that epic roast even more.
Yeah, that twist of the knife was completely necessary and justified after Kieran's behavior. That shitty brat lorded over the club as an outright dictator and basically ruined it for everyone else. I haven't been this happy to crush an NPC's hopes and dreams since Ghstsis.
Seriously? I mean, he needed a reality check, because according to his room, his obsession with becoming stronger was unhealthy, but really? He was an awkward child with a well meaning but abrasive sister who essentially became our friend instantly until we lied to him and broke his dreams the first time. Then, he dedicates a ridiculous amount of training to beating us when he sees us again, he loses to us, an exchange student, which screws up the BB rankings, and even then, he tries to be nice, goes down a crystal death hole with us, the treasure immediately chooses us because we have main character power, he catches it with a Master Ball, he loses, terastallizes it, it tries to murder him, he immediately learns the error of his ways and is having a guilt induced panic attack until he snaps out of it and helps us beat said crystal turtle, and reveals his true feelings and asks for our apology. That’s on the same level as the terroristic dictator whi wants to control people and Pokémon using liberation as a facade, manipulating a young boy into becoming his pawn, and then attempting to murder a child, and then again in the next game? Those are very different crimes. One is a child with an inferiority complex and feeling of betrayal that isn’t even so much mad as he is envious of what is handed to us, who redeems himself very quickly, and the other is arguably the most evil villain in Pokémon to date.
Glad to see other people doing the two Hydrapple thing. Definitely epic. When I did it, I gave it Energy Ball and mine "went all out" for the final hit after being cheered on by Kieran's Hydrapple.
I was inititally expecting some Toxic Chain/ corruption aspect to Kieran. But honestly that being more of a red harring. It also makes it more human I suppose. Theres no outside and magical influence. Its entirely just human anxiety, obsession and insecurities. I love that with Kieran cause he is flawed. He has issues but isnt exactly evil. He has flaws but hes not a monster. I find it interesting how he has sinilar things with Blue. Its cruel how Blue loses his title by the time Oak arrives and Oak chews him out for losing. Kieran feels like a human response. I'm looking at him probably having some severe anxiety and likely autsitic. He has these obsessions woth strength and frankly Carmine yelling at him. Even if fairly typical sibling behaviour hits him hard. He may not read it as she intends. So as far as he sees hes just being bullied by one of the closest thing to a friend he has. Give him some therapy and a Rotom Phone. Let him keepnin touch with you and he can improve. He's a good character that's damaged but improving. Im hoping we get him and our Paladea crew meeting up. I do love the ending and the 'new dawn' metaphor in the final cutscene. Was hoping we get the end scene with Kieran and the player having a hug and being happy for it. All in all love Kieran's character and hope we get more of him
People were expecting that the professor would end up having been controlled or influenced by some outside force as well but that too was just their own paranoia and obsession.
when I fought Kieran it was a super close fight. honestly poetic. he has special comments when you bring out Ogerpon and the fight ended with Ogerpon being my only conscious Pokémon and landing the last his while in the red. i should have just healed but I couldn't pass up the narrative weight and tension.
Great vid MIKEY. I was think of an idea and wanted to share it for a possible video with John. Hide and seek synchro I think would be cool, one person chooses a location and has to try and blend in with other Pokemon and the seeker has 3 guesses to try and identify which Pokemon they are, a bit like prop hunt. I hope you’ll consider my idea ❤
The two Hydrapples working together and the crit yours got from Dragon Cheer really was an anime moment
I think they made dragon cheer just to show that Kieran made friends with us again and will always support us from now on
The power of friendship between two apple dragons. It's a beautiful thing! ;w;
Perfect anime moment would have been full power Fickle Beam. Still a glorious scene.
Now let us do tag battles with our now redeemed friend
Kieran: Are you sure we should look into peoples' private stuff?

God I love Kieran's development. He's one of my top 5 rivals for sure now.
Take terapagos to the crystal pool where you fought the milotic! ❤
For those who don't know. Stellar type keeps your Pokemon's original typings, but also provides a boost to all it's moves, regardless of types, but only for one turn.
so its a one time stab boost?
i guess its mostly useful cause it doesnt change your type, so if you want to, say, boost an electric move but not gain weakness to ground.
Its once PER type. So lets say your mon has 4 different types of moves, all the types get a boost once. Thats why stellar is best used on diverse movesets
And it does extra damage to tera pokemon. And that one time boost is just infinite when you're in a tera raid
So basically useless.
I'd imagine kinda useless unless you got a very niche idea. Like trying to abuse a Contrary ability Pokemon with it. Because if your pokemon is in its Tera Stellar form and you use Tera Blast, your attack and sp attack drop 1 level as a trade off for the "Its gonna be effective no matter what Tera Type your opponent has so long as they're terastalized to begin with" thing. So you can imagine this being fun for Contrary users. @@jonathangoodwin5609

Rika scolding us for going into Area Zero made me audibly go “oh yeah almost forgot I did that; time flies huh”
You get unique dialog if you used ogrepon in carmines and Kierans battles also if you used perrins arcanine and talked to her.
It's not just dialogue with Kieran. The AI is programmed to full target Ogrepon until she is downed.
@@NovumDoesObservation I did not know that
Michael there is still two key things you have to do. One is get the ability to fly around from one of the steel elite four girl and fly up to the Tera ball in the terrarium to get some insane items. Two is take terapagos to the crystal pool in kitakami, I won’t spoil what happens there.
Plus, looking around the lobby of Niranja academy for certain NPCs
I have to say, during that final scenario, I just felt *so bad* for poor Terapagos! Like, he just wanted to be a happy little turtle friend, and then Keiran just had to go and chuck a Master Ball at it from behind, and then force its powers to go haywire and out of control. I just.... Poor little turtle friend.... ;^;
If you use Ogerpon during the fight with Kieran, he will be pissed off and say something like 'You've got some nerve bringing out that orge now of all times?!'
>Giant crystal turtle looms over you, about to destroy you
Sinestcha: Hello dear, would you care for some nice tea?
Cleric: Ah thanks for your hospitality.
Since Mikey has finished the DLC story, I hope to see him re-challenge the past trainers to see how they've powered up. Especially if he were to challenge (in either a League Club battle or in the Academy Ace Tournament) Geeta again!!!!!!!!!!!
He would be quite somewhat impressed in having a rematch against her.
drayton is the deffiniton of "pour salt on the wound to immediately escalate the pain"
Michael has helped Kieran overcome his inferiority complex, and we'll see what's to come with the new Paradox Pokemon.
Or maybe he'll see a new mythical Pokemon in Serebii and look forward to Pokemon Day next year.
And in the future there’s gonna be an event where you catch pecharunt but first have to save kitakami
Seeing Koraidon protect Kieran was amazing and epic
Kieran saying "this is all I have left" is like harry saying
"Im ruined, I have nothing left. Except spiderman"
Kieran suffering from Peachboy is exactly like Peter' venom suit.
He basically became less-funny Bully Maguire.
@@Cool-Vestit’s funny because pecharunt had nothing to do with this
@@flallana18 Wait really? Not a thing? That is incredibly sad. I wondered if there was some hidden dialogue about it somewhere, but there probably isn't.
Very sad.
@@Cool-Vestit controlled everyone in kitakami except kieran
Look at little goblin jr... Gonna Cry?
Transitioning from when we last fought Kieran many times up to now, practically no one of Kieran's past team members remained except Dipplin evolving into Hydrapple {except for the slight change in the Poli-family}
- Makes me wonder that when Kieran is "back to normal," I am curious what his real regular main team will be if rematched?
spoilers!
I think he has Poliwrath back in the Pecharunt event, so I do believe that he has his original team.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast
Read more at your own risk
- It's ok. I'm well aware of Mochi Mayhem. Albeit, all I got to see up close when Kieran fights is just Poliwrath, Porygon-Z, Grimmsnarl, & Hydrapple. It only changed Politoed with Poliwrath again. If only the last 2 were shown
Well at least now we knew in the Club room he still loves them. But mb not in the real match since he's in competitive school anyway.
"Oh ha.... i have no idea what youre talking about! dont look in my boxes...." lol
Just beat the DLC last night. Genuinely loved it so much!
Though I will say, Kieran was way easier for me than any of the elite four lmao
I wish I could have played the game
I was overleveled, yes, but luck also decided to choose me.
I crit like four times, and half of those were off of a single Make It Rain. It was pretty funny, but I kinda feel bad; Kieran was _not_ mentally okay.
@@WhirlyBeepBoops yea that does suck
I was full 100s but that didn't make the previous ones much easier. These battles were legit tough (I didn't EV train or anything this was my main game team plus Ogrepon)
Kind of makes it feel crueller. Kieran looses to you the worst despite everything. I'm just glad he comes around in the end. Couldn't take it if we left him just broken
Same, I just had my archaludon use electro shot every rain turn to blast through his team lol
Since there's so much double battling here, I'd like to see how well slush rush Cetitan works alongside Ninetails. I feel like there's potential for a good ice team you could run.
I did made a full ice type run of this DLC in one of my saves for fun, Amarys and Crispin took a lot thinking but it worked pretty well overall
@@Me-jx1mo It's funny that Crispin is considered the lowest ranked Elite Four member, when his competition uses steel and fairy types.
@@chadnorris8257 I think it's pattern that the lower rank use the type super effective against the one above them.
@@MultiPoken I guess I never paid attention to that.
Kieran’s theme is the best one I’ve heard and the guitar is insane!
40:39 tera starstorm suddenly dealing a super effective hit makes this feel like a protean style scenario, so it changes its type to the type of the last used move.
Tera Starstorm is a Normal-type move, but when Terapagos has Terastalized into "Stellar" type, the move deals typeless damage. But against Terastalized opponents, it deals super effective damage
The time spent in Area Zero during the Indigo Disk was too short in my opinion
Especially for the DLC titled
"The hidden treasure of Area Zero"
Fear not, there is an epilogue for the DLC called machine mayem
*Mochi mayhem
@@nullvoid1x I know, but I wish there was more that we did in Area Zero. Like have more stuff with Terapagos instead of the game just showing it to us, we fight it, and then it’s done. I also wish there were some new paradox Pokémon to be found down there
@@Cozmixyteat least there were new paradox Pokémon after you beat the story
22:09 My boy said wowzers again. He's happy.
When Drayton called him Ex-Champion, I really though it would cut away and Kieran would have knocked him to the ground.
I love Drayton but that would’ve been really funny ngl
It's just sad that Kieran's obsession was him trying to be like us and feeling completely useless. 😔
Poor kid felt like he was always the butt of the joke and mocked. Get that lad a Rotom Phone so we can keep in contact and be buddies!
Rika: You went into Area Zero without permission, didn't you?!
My 4 shiny Iron Hands:
“You’re not useless! I’m just a prodigy!” 💀 😂
Mikey, don’t know if anyone’s told you yet, but be sure to go to the. Rust Al Lake in Kitakami with Terapagos. You encounter something special.
I love how 34:35 is jarringly reminiscent of the scene in legends arcoos at spear pillar where dialga/palkia protects you from the other's origin form. Except that this time the player chose to save Kieran, not the actual pokemon (altho I'm sure the Agias duo (thanks steel e4 member) would choose to save Kieran)
Tip: if you fly up onto the big tera crystal on top of the terrarium you will find some pretty pog items
Drayton has been my favorite every since he was introduced
Also, pay close attention to Kieran’s eyes before and during the Terapagos fight.
i like how kieran basically became one of those legendary spammers, who think a legendary pokemon team is the only way to win every fight.
“Their dead now so it’s archaeologically”. Used that in court after I got caught grave robbing. It didn’t hold up. Now I’ve been sentenced to 30 years of community service for my local museum.
All jokes aside, this has to be the absolute dumbest sentence for this specific court case should it happen irl.
😂 Good line 38:15
"U're not useless, I am a prodigy."
Once you can take teropagos to the crystal pool, it won't disappoint
I haven't been able to to much after a soccer injury that caused me to break and sprain my ankle. Your videos have helped me through that. Thanks Mikey!
Hi! I love this series! Have a nice day people reading comments!
“ITS WAY TOO DARK IN HERE I JUST SMACKED MY HEAD ON SOMETHING”
indeed she did carmine is the funniest character ever
So it turns out Briar isn't evil,
she's just really excitable and....kinda dumb.
I mean Mikey makes a good point about our character being 'scared' because the first time we went to the 'bottom' of Area Zero; we found the AI version of the dead parent of one of our buddies that had a device capable of warping time itself and we had to stop it! Not to mention the additional trip to capture the more violet version of the ride Pokemon we used throughout the game that apparently KILLED Arven's parent!
However, the DLC characters look at this as a fun little field trip with an eccentric scientist, an overly enthusiastic gal pal and her vengeful brother...
Drayton is my favourite character from this dlc, carmin and kieran are close 2nd and 3rd respectively, but man that kieran catching tarapagos instantly with the masterball has got to be one of the craziest moments in pokemon games, like bro that was so sudden and no one saw it coming too, like i know he was saying all the time that he'll catch tarapagos but i didn't expected him to do so in such a manner. Also gamefreak really needed to nerf keiran with that goofy ahh politoed and breaking his masterball.
The foreshadowing of everyone who becomes champion in BB league was great to then realize how he even has one
Drayton really comes up to you and says "Hey there, kiddo. Meet Chekov, and also, his gun."
Oh there’s a cool Treasure after completing the DLC story. You need to get the Flying Upgrade/ Meal for the Ride Mon, to fight a Stellar Garchomp to unlock the Crystal Gate.
Where is the Stellar Garchomp
Everyone: "Lead The Way Michael"
Michael: "Ok, YAHOO!!!"
You get the paradox Terrakion, Cobalion, Entei, and Raikou from quests with Perrin
Never have I questioned more where a child in the pokemon universe got a masterball from as I have on this day
They explained that anyone that beats the BB League gets one right as you’re handed one of your own, so that’s where Kiki got it from, more than likely.
Mikey : If it’s not 100% accurate it’s 50% accurate.
Also Mikey: Why is icy wind missing so much.
Me: GEE I WONDER WHY!
Dots is the hero we both need AND deserve!
Kieran was is a badass man really said hold this master ball
Drayton saying ex-champion was so funny to me. Love that guy 😂
We not gonna talk about how Mikey sweared at 40:25 against confusion
I don't believe "son of a basket" is a swear
If under 13 then yes basket but above is bad
thing I noticed is that in almost every major battle theme you can hear a bit of the tera raid battle theme like terapapos theme is kind of composed of some different sound effects like at one part you can hear the sound that plays when you terastilaze (sorry if I wrote that wrong) and at 35:53 you can hear a bit of the tera battle theme
Kieran is no joke. Even though yes, my team wasn't the best or competitively built, I got crushed the first 3 times I tried beating him. Good job to you for beating him first try lol
Edit: I reworked my team a bit, swapping my Exeggutor for a Malamar with Superpower and (Contradict?) and my Alolan Golem was swapped for Iron Hands built for doubles better. I'm not going to re-switch afterwards. I gave my Archaludon a better ability(Stamina) and leveled up my team a lot. When I caught the tera type Duraludon, he was fighting type and I kept it like that so Body Press is extra nasty. I was able to sweep him easily on my fourth try, losing only Iron Hands due to him not really being great anyway and me forgetting to teach him Protect.
I lost 5 pokemon to him while fighting him with MY TRUE 6x100 TEAM
30:18 You got a Green Rupee!
Spoilers:
Stellar Tera Type doesn't change typing at all, it grants a gem boost to a move of each type once per battle, and Tera Blast is super effective against all terastallised mons at the cost of -1 atk and sp. atk.
Tera Shift is Multiscale.
Oh yeah, Go Do Perrin's Quest for some goodies.
Geeta mentions they haven't had the time to go to area zero
I love/hate the idea of her slowly turning to Larry and being like "Hey bud, you "want" some overtime?"
Loving it when Mikey uploads it is the best
These daily longform episodes on the MandJTV extra channel of just raw playthrough are my favourite
9:36 Not gonna lie at first I was kinda mad at Drayton for that, but then i thought about how much of an a-hole Kieran was being to everyone in the academy just because we have Ogerpon and he doesnt and it just made me love that epic roast even more.
Yeah, that twist of the knife was completely necessary and justified after Kieran's behavior. That shitty brat lorded over the club as an outright dictator and basically ruined it for everyone else. I haven't been this happy to crush an NPC's hopes and dreams since Ghstsis.
Seriously? I mean, he needed a reality check, because according to his room, his obsession with becoming stronger was unhealthy, but really? He was an awkward child with a well meaning but abrasive sister who essentially became our friend instantly until we lied to him and broke his dreams the first time. Then, he dedicates a ridiculous amount of training to beating us when he sees us again, he loses to us, an exchange student, which screws up the BB rankings, and even then, he tries to be nice, goes down a crystal death hole with us, the treasure immediately chooses us because we have main character power, he catches it with a Master Ball, he loses, terastallizes it, it tries to murder him, he immediately learns the error of his ways and is having a guilt induced panic attack until he snaps out of it and helps us beat said crystal turtle, and reveals his true feelings and asks for our apology. That’s on the same level as the terroristic dictator whi wants to control people and Pokémon using liberation as a facade, manipulating a young boy into becoming his pawn, and then attempting to murder a child, and then again in the next game? Those are very different crimes. One is a child with an inferiority complex and feeling of betrayal that isn’t even so much mad as he is envious of what is handed to us, who redeems himself very quickly, and the other is arguably the most evil villain in Pokémon to date.
You went to area zero without the authorization of the league. “Permission from the league, I am the league!”.
now that you’ve beaten the dlc’s story, you should go to the crystal pool with terapagos in your party
38:45 the voice crack of fear was real
Don't forget the Mochi Mayhem quest in Kitakami in which you catch the Trio Master of the "Loyal" Three.
I don’t think that’s available yet unless you’re willing to hack the event item into your game, though…
It's not available to plays
Glad to see other people doing the two Hydrapple thing. Definitely epic. When I did it, I gave it Energy Ball and mine "went all out" for the final hit after being cheered on by Kieran's Hydrapple.
I was inititally expecting some Toxic Chain/ corruption aspect to Kieran. But honestly that being more of a red harring. It also makes it more human I suppose. Theres no outside and magical influence. Its entirely just human anxiety, obsession and insecurities.
I love that with Kieran cause he is flawed. He has issues but isnt exactly evil. He has flaws but hes not a monster.
I find it interesting how he has sinilar things with Blue. Its cruel how Blue loses his title by the time Oak arrives and Oak chews him out for losing. Kieran feels like a human response.
I'm looking at him probably having some severe anxiety and likely autsitic. He has these obsessions woth strength and frankly Carmine yelling at him. Even if fairly typical sibling behaviour hits him hard. He may not read it as she intends. So as far as he sees hes just being bullied by one of the closest thing to a friend he has.
Give him some therapy and a Rotom Phone. Let him keepnin touch with you and he can improve. He's a good character that's damaged but improving. Im hoping we get him and our Paladea crew meeting up.
I do love the ending and the 'new dawn' metaphor in the final cutscene. Was hoping we get the end scene with Kieran and the player having a hug and being happy for it.
All in all love Kieran's character and hope we get more of him
People were expecting that the professor would end up having been controlled or influenced by some outside force as well but that too was just their own paranoia and obsession.
when I fought Kieran it was a super close fight. honestly poetic. he has special comments when you bring out Ogerpon and the fight ended with Ogerpon being my only conscious Pokémon and landing the last his while in the red. i should have just healed but I couldn't pass up the narrative weight and tension.
Great vid MIKEY. I was think of an idea and wanted to share it for a possible video with John. Hide and seek synchro I think would be cool, one person chooses a location and has to try and blend in with other Pokemon and the seeker has 3 guesses to try and identify which Pokemon they are, a bit like prop hunt. I hope you’ll consider my idea ❤
9:40 ruthless that’s cold
Just finished the DLC last night, pretty decent
I love that Terpagaos in it's stellar for is just turtles all the way down (and also the world turtle).
