This is by far the best in the "We race to find ________" series. There were so many highlights here. -Each catching the other's legendary -John finding Rayquaza that Mikey missed all because they happened to live in different time zones -Mikey's never-ending struggle with Miltank -Slash -Mikey's slip-up with his "Godfish" nickname -John's brilliant interrogation over Whiscash's moveset -John's genius deductive reasoning to go back and find the truth behind "Godfish" This was excellent content. I only wish it was longer. Maybe next time you could assign two Pokemon and you only win when you find both.
In hindsight he should have said it was a Gyarados, Godfish would be much more fitting for that than a Wiscash lol, so it would have been a lot more believable. This totally isn’t a biased opinion cause Gyarados is my favorite Pokémon or anything
Hey John, you, MandJTV, and Purplecliff should do “First to catch all 8 gym leaders’ aces!” in different games and race. I think that would be a pretty crazy and fun video to watch!
@@DukeDarkshadow another fun fact: this fun fact isn't a fun fact at all. And this fun fact has nothing to do with pokemon. Sorry for ruining the fun fact joke but I have said fun fact too many times in this fun fact so this fun fact is now ended.
Wow, Mikey bringing his own downfall by letting slip the name. They're both usually really good with stuff like this so that was surprising. Well done on the win John and for keeping Gregory under wraps.
I think this is my favorite of the John Michael Cup entry. Both of them encountering the others Legend and then the following mind games are great. Not to mention the priceless reactions of absolute panic when they do find the other legend. The boss music sting when it happens is also a fantastic touch. I am legitimately curious how long this could have gone for if Mikey didn't name it Godfish.
QOTD: In Gen 1 if your party was full you could still receive gift Pokemon; they would go straight to the PC unless your box was full. Then they got rid of that very useful feature for some reason, until it came back in Gen 7.
QOTD: Viridian Forest and Santalune Forest are known for having identical layouts, but the similarities between Viridian and Santalune go deeper than that. Both cities are home to the first Gym you will encounter in each respective region, and both cities have three exits- one which leads to a town or city where the region's professor gives you your choice of Kanto starters; one which leads to the aforementioned forest named after the city; and one which leads to Route 22, in spite of where the region's route numbering is otherwise currently at, beyond which lies Victory Road.

Fun Fact: in the earlier games where Azuril was introduced, there was a programming error where a female azuril will swap genders upon evolving since the gender ratios are flipped between the two.
The gender ratios aren't flipped. Marill is 50/50, while Azurill is 25/75 (Male/Female). 1 in 3 Female Azurill change gender on evolution in Generations 3 to 5. They fixed it in Generation 6.
Here's a fun fact. Due to type and chart changes, Clefairy and Clefable went from being neutral to karate chop in Gen 1, to weak to it in Gen 2, to resistant to it in Gen 6.
QOTD: Rayquaza in oras, had his catch rate to be better than gen 3, cause you have to capture it in order to progress the story. So that's why in the shiny episode john caught the shiny rayquaza.
I mean, he had already gone past that route before it became night time in his game. At that point I doubt he's making a mental note to go back and check just a single encounter rather than just progressing in the game.
Fun fact: In BDSP, Dusclops has a 98% Radar encounter chance on Route 224, which makes it one of the easiest Pokemon to shiny hunt for using PokeRadar. Contrary to this, Duskull, is found on the same route using PokeRadar, and has a 2% encounter rate, making it one of the hardest Pokemon to hunt for using PokeRadar
Really like the fact that people are giving DP a chance lately instead of ONLY platinum. It makes me happy as pearl was the first Pokémon game I ever owned and needs more recognition overall.
Platinum is objectively better, whether you like Diamond and Pearl or not. Diamond and Pearl are downright unnecessary - as far BDSP actually - if you own Platinum.
Random Pokéfact: One of Gen 1's bugs is that although Omastar learns the same level up moves as Omanyte it does so at a lower level. All other evolutions learn moves at higher levels, presumably to force you to make a decision as to whether you want higher stats or better moves.
QOTD: all the ultra beasts’ stats are prime numbers. This is intended to communicate subtly just how bizarre of a class of creatures they are, that their stats would have such anomalous numbers
I love how Mikey doesn’t think anything of John’s suspicious behavior when he found Rayquaza, but when Mikey just says “Godfish” John instantly goes full evil genius mode

Random Pokémon fact: the new mauville ship ( I think it’s called that) was made by a group of people that were trying to make an end of the world bunker by making Pokémon extinct to harvest their “infinite energy”, the project failed, but, they had an odd keystone on the ship, and the murdered Pokémon possessed the odd keystone to become a Spiritomb. And that was your random Pokémon fact of the day

In hindsight he should have said it was a Gyarados, Godfish would be much more fitting for that than a Wiscash lol, so it would have been a lot more believable. This totally isn’t a biased opinion cause Gyarados is my favorite Pokémon or anything
This is why I would have named Arceus “Damos” as an homage to the anime

Michael constantly getting destroyed by various Miltank is SUCH a coincidental running gag and I hope it never dies.

Kalos’s Route 1 is the first “first route” in any mainline Pokémon game to not have any wild encounters.

Here's a random fact: In generation 1 the Fire type did not resist the Ice-type so Moltres and Charizard were weak to ice.
