I don’t think anyone would be opposed to seeing Pokemon Talk return on MandJTV Extra. Much like ASPITPIAY, it’s not something that would perform too well on the main channel, but the audience of Extra would really enjoy it
Do you think the Irish would like Eevee then? Prob not since the reason why they used it was the potato's high yields with small amounts of farmland, but it's still fun to think about.
I feel jealous of those who managed to buy the emblems every time I saw them being sold out. Not that I know whether it even ships here, but still. EDIT: it does, with the usual shipping tax.
I love how you delivered “BIGLETT???” With the echo effect edited in, idk but the delivery with that effect just make it incredibly funny to me. Might also be that there was no pause before it, like you saw it and was immediately distracted and shocked, and that wasn’t even edited there’s no cut, that was genuine.
For Pokémon talk maybe you could do a vid where we send you skit ideas for Pokémon talk episodes, and you react to them. The best one would be made into an actual episode. Seems pretty fun - and would get your "want" for the series back. P.S. like this so Mikey can see
It'd work if he was just trying to churn it out, but I think he meant that he needs to want to make it in the first place. I don't know if scripting is the only issue. Filming and editing those is much harder than most of his other content. I think if he wanted help making scripts, he'd hire someone, but then that could make it loose the "labor of love" or other quality that he liked. Just my thoughts, we shouldn't try to "solve" it like it's a problem; he might just not want to.
14:00 what you described here is known as the Goomba Fallacy! "two groups with contradictory views are perceived as one group that contradicts itself." On another note, I really hope you never feel pressured into bringing back Pokemon Talk, or making any content that you're not passionate about. I know there are plenty of fans that would be really excited about a return for the series, but what I and so many fans enjoy about your content is how passionate and excited you are to make it. If you do one day find yourself interested in and excited to bring back the series, that's wonderful, but never force yourself to make content that isn't the content you want to be making.
@QuasarBuasarEeveeTheUziFan The original image that made the fallacy popular was a post on Twitter (I believe) displaying the concept, and it used images of Goombas as the figures.
16:05, so here let me explain the joke, in with all the memes about the Minecraft movie the PhoenixSC community had a joke on their subreddit where they would have a character's name come up naturally in a conversation between Gary and Steve (Jason Momoa and Jack Black) and then the character would appear and then end with the absolute cinema guy. This joke got so out of hand it completely took over the PhoenixSC subreddit and the mods had to ban the meme format, and I'm guessing with all the absolute cinema spam it leaked over into subreddits such as this one. Also for anyone who can't see the pun in the meme Steve is saying '(Sigh) Duck' which is pronounced exactly the same as Psyduck's name.
13:50 the joke is that she lives in the Alabaster Icelands and does NOT have appropriate clothes, which has been a talking point basically since release
If Mikey sees this I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me and my System. Back in 2023 we were diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder and it was really hard. However we found out that our littles really enjoy your content especially the team sky videos. Granted we all do!!! We dont have to worry about your content not being family friendly. So thank you for helping us with learning more about the littles in our system through your videos.
Pokémon Talk solutions! (If it helps at all) Pokémon Talk could be on a separate channel, one that old fans will likely check out, and new fans will likely ignore if they aren’t interested, and episodes can be rare occurrences, so while fans wait as long as you need Mikey, you can continue these channels to still fuel everyone else, so therefore it’s like a side channel. Episodes could continue of from the comic of it, and of course as episodes stay rare to come out, that’s fine. But of course that might be too many channels for you, but just a suggestion. Edit: If anyone can reply with why this wouldn’t work I’d appreciate it.
@@Tyler-q3k Perhaps, but it would be slightly different enough, plus the channel wouldn’t get as popular as SML or those others, most of the fans would be OG fans of the show, (Plus the channel could have a playlist of the old episodes so people actually understand it better)
Hi Mikey! Its a bit after my birthday now, but im 18 now! Been watching for a long long time, but you unironically helped me grow as a person. Thank you for all youve done as a poketuber!
1:10 that weedle has slaughtered more legendaries than you could ever imagine. The gym is no longer visible, covered by the mount of bodies that surround it.
And now I feel ancient. I miss 2019 where the worst thing I had to worry about was Sword and Shield’s dex cuts and Charizard being the only starter in Sword and Shield at the time (Home didn’t exist at the time and there was no DLC) (which is what caused my anger towards Charizard)
I have two of my own ideas for evil teams. I came up with Team BlackHat just because there should be a character who battles you with all six versions of Rotom. Team BlackHat has very few actual human members, and they build a lot of drones and program AIs to do their level grinding for them. They believe in rule of the wise, which seems agreeable until you realize that’s not democracy. “The stupid will vote for the stupid.” The Rotom girl (Tesla) says that “once AI drones that grind your Pokémon for you become widely available, everyone will use them instead of letting their Pokemon languish in the PC. Before that, they were penned up in pastures, when they used to be out in the wild. Our technology is the best possible replication of their former lives. But just because it’s new and different, you think we shouldn’t do it because of your stilted sense of morality.” That one’s hard to argue with. The other is Team Flash. They’re a huge “take that” at a real problem in our culture. Think FOX News meets TMZ. They’ve monopolized the local and online media landscape, and will shout out and bolster the people they think they can control. These compliments allow them to pretend to be fair and legitimate. If they don’t like you, they’ll dig up any of your past wrongs, or even commit libel. One racist or sexist joke that you think nobody else heard, or one slap at someone who joked about your family on TV, and then wham, your trainer license is revoked forever. Shame and punishment are permanent in Team Flash’s world. Personally, I understand cancel culture, but too much shame and punishment doesn’t seem to be the way to prevent every mistake from happening. It’s just so hard to tell if someone is actually sorry or not, and if they actually are, what should the road to redemption look like? Let he who is without sin cancel the next celeb.
If any of you haven't seen Pokémon Talk, go watch it! It's the best series Mikey ever made! I think it had its peak in seasons 4 and 5. It ended at #58, so maybe filming at least #59 (an Eeveelution episode) and #60 (season finale) would not be as hard, and it would give it the ending it deserves. Hopefully we'll see the dynamic duo of Bulbasaur and Squirtle back one day.
URGENT MESSAGE FOR TEAM SKY LEADER MIKEY SUBJECT: TOO MANY TYPES Hello Leader Mikey, I apologize for the sudden and unprompted alert, but we've got a situation on our hands. We don't know why, but recently all Hoenn has been hit by a wave of absolute mania, with the most glaring problem being Pokemon throughout the whole region (including our main base) having their types scrambled. This is especially bad because now some of our beloved Flying Type Pokemon are NO LONGER FLYING TYPE. Not only that, but we're also suddenly being subject to many undocumented and nonsensical Types, which we have NO idea how to combat. On top of that, many native species have completely vanished, there's suddenly a ton of species that are absolutely NOT native; it's just chaos! So yeah, if possible, us Grunts could REALLY use your help to figure out what's going on and how to deal with it. (Roleplay aside, I think seeing Team Sky Mikey going through the Pokemon: Too Many Types mod would be incredibly entertaining.)
5:09 I recently learned that the Dratini line is probably based on a bit of Japanese (what I think is) folklore about serpents that live for thousands of years in order to recieve a pearl that turns them into a dragon (I’m probably misremembering some details but that’s the gist of it)
Every time Mikey says “recent gens” and then proceeds to talk about Kalos or Alola, my face just sorta goes “oooooh…” like I don’t have the heart to tell him that those games came out over 8 years ago
Everyone’s talking about how long ago they released but he’s talking about how many releases ago same with OP. Speaking of OP, even though it near definitely will be announced this year.
Mikey, I’ve made a Stuffie Talk on my channel which is inspired by Pokémon Talk. It isn’t just Pokémon but since I have a Squirtle stuffie, he interrupted the first episode and I’d say I replicated his voice quite well in it.
Pokémon talk is a series I always go back and rewatch it’s an amazing series that I and many others love. I remember when I was younger so excited to watch the newest episode.
0:04 I was a little surprised that barely anybody was talking about how the decade is already half over but I think I care too much because I’m a numbers nerd.
Oh! A numbers nerd! I must share that this year can also be described as 45^2(45 squared)! This will most likely be the last squared year in our lifetime- make of that what you will.
Just when I needed something to stop me from going over the edge, your video popped up. Thank you, it just saved me from myself. Never stop what you do, you'll grow forever.
Wow, we’ve been watching for six years now. I was in middle school when this started, and now I’m a sophomore in college. Never thought I’d write that type of comment
11:57 What makes this Umbreon design so cool to me is the various outer space elements: - The Moons & Stars all over the body. - The ring around the torso being like the outer parts of a Black Hole. - The tail & ears being meteors. - And the base of the tail not only looking like a star, but also looking like the impact explosion from the meteor tail.
@@NicoNails69Breloom was in Luigi Mangione's (the United Healthcare CEO assassin) twitter header. people also kinda meta analyzed it to link to a Bible verse about rich people being a plague (paraphrasing)
To be fair, 1. Technically the entire channel name is outdated since the "andJ" refers to someone who has no presence on this channel and 2. Michael has on multiple occasions stated that if the name wasn't so well renowned, he'd change it.
Haven't seen the poll, but more than 10. Like, I binged-watched the entire thing back in 2018, and then subbed to the main channel because of Pokemon Talk. I now stay due to all the other lovely content, but that's my origin story.
When I saw the Pokémon talk poll my first thought was there is no way we are getting a new Pokémon talk episode in 2025 kinda funny it was just the subreddit asking for more Pokémon talk
The Basement Yard shoutout hell yeah. Somehow, I've never watched a full episode, but due to having watched Joey's old Idiots of the Internet videos, I get recommended compilations all the time and laugh myself to tears.
5:32 some context for this video from coney, the video is him reacting to a tv evangelist type religious guy who called Pokémon satanic. Coney makes some light hearted fun of the topic but definitely doesn’t think Pokémon is satanic, although he did really enjoy palworld…
It is pretty telling that the people who think Pokémon is satanic think that including a woman is equally worth criticism as those other 3 qualities they made up
I think the idea of Pokémon talk being on the extra channel is perfect. Cause while it doesn’t work on the main channel that’s kinda why the extra channel exists. It’s for people who want extra Mandjtv and pokemon talk and aspitipiay are exactly that.
When he said the decade is half over, I thought it was half over until he quit RUclips like MatPat did in 10 years, then I remembered, it’s WAYYY closer than 5 years.
I understand Pokémon Talk was a task for you to make, and I won't be surprised or disappointed if it comes back. But I do have some ideas for it. You say it's difficult to come up with ideas. As a solution, every so often, whenever you feel like making an episode, you could have viewers submit ideas for the show through an (I believe it is a) Google docs form. That way, the ideas will only be known by you and the person who sent them in, and it'll be easier to make the episodes You also say that many of your audience is new and hasn't seen it, and that your main audience wouldn't care for it. I believe (and please correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a long time since the channel was created from the end of your sabbatical) MandJTV Extra was made for your more dedicated audience. If a lot of people from your audience here used to watch Pokémon Talk, then it would possibly perform decently or even well. Lastly, you could do a test episode! You could just post one episode here to see how it does, and if it does worse than you'd like, never do it again if you don't feel like it. Again, by no means am I urging you to make Pokémon Talk again, I understand that you lost your passion for it. I also do not own and manage this channel 😂 these are just ideas to help lighten the burden, if you do decide to make Pokémon Talk again.
This is a great idea! Also, the fact that he ended with episode #58 makes it relatively easy to come up with plots for #59 and #60. The first should be an Eeveelution episode, since season 6 didn't have one yet. Espeon is the only Eeveebro who hasn't appeared, so he'd obviously be the guest. And then #60 would be season finale with a fight against Mewtwo. Btw, I think if Mikey talked about PT more and promoted it to his new fans, most of them would watch it and then love it just like us OG fans did. I've been watching Mikey since like 2017, and PT is my favorite series of his to this day.
How dare you lure me in with that thumbnail and then immediately slap an existential crisis on us all instead of giving us answers on SYLVESTER-QUAZA WHAT-
4:20 that camera angle is infinitely better then the constantly changing angles, zooms, and panning that gen 9 has Edit: someone in comments pointed out that this feature has been in most games since X and Y. I hadn't remembered it in previous games since I beat them once and then just put the games down. Legends and Scarlet are the only pokemon games recently I've put a lot of time in, so I just forgot. Thanks to user {youtube keeps deleting my reply and I think it's because of their name} for reminding me
yeah I agree, but also every game since xy (minus legends) did that what are you talking about, gen 9 is also the only one that doesn't force that camera upon you for every single battle
@@faux-ashley RUclips deleted my first reply, but I had forgotten about that since I did not play much of gen 6 or later except Legends and Scarlet. Thanks for the reminder.
25:31 Oh my goodness I have those same slippers but in black, I wear them all the time 😂. Great to know one of my favorite Poketubers wears them as well, what a coincidence! xD
Mikey saying that he could still do the Bulbasaur and Squirtle voices, but I feel like Grunty Boi's voice is just an evolved version of Squirtle's voice. But yeah, personally I feel like Pokémon Talk could work well on MandJTV Extra, or I guess MandJTV Clips if its short form content Edit: Another idea I feel could maybe work is a Bulbasaur and Squirtle playthrough of a game. If Mikey enjoyed Mystery Dungeon, I feel like it'd be funny if Bulbasaur and Squirtle playing Mystery Dungeon could be a cool video idea
The Pokemon talk throwback gave me so much nostalgia, if felt like watching and old episode, I’d love to see a comeback but I understand Michael not wanting to do it

"it's been 10ish years Mikey, you have to let go..."
Every time Mikey says “recent gens” and then proceeds to talk about Kalos or Alola, my face just sorta goes “oooooh…” like I don’t have the heart to tell him that those games came out over 8 years ago
He was comparing "older vs newer" generations; Gen 5 and beyond is still past the halfway point of the series, so I assume that's where his split is.
3.
Gen 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 9
Gen 8 is one generation ago, Gen 7 is two, Gen 6 is three generations ago
Everyone’s talking about how long ago they released but he’s talking about how many releases ago same with OP. Speaking of OP, even though it near definitely will be announced this year.
Mikey, I’ve made a Stuffie Talk on my channel which is inspired by Pokémon Talk. It isn’t just Pokémon but since I have a Squirtle stuffie, he interrupted the first episode and I’d say I replicated his voice quite well in it.
I have to check it out
When I’m feeling sad, you are someone great to watch to make me laugh! Thanks for that dude:)
Pokémon talk is a series I always go back and rewatch it’s an amazing series that I and many others love. I remember when I was younger so excited to watch the newest episode.
0:04 I was a little surprised that barely anybody was talking about how the decade is already half over but I think I care too much because I’m a numbers nerd.
Oh! A numbers nerd! I must share that this year can also be described as 45^2(45 squared)! This will most likely be the last squared year in our lifetime- make of that what you will.
Just when I needed something to stop me from going over the edge, your video popped up. Thank you, it just saved me from myself. Never stop what you do, you'll grow forever.
As someone who has been there myself, please reach out to someone who can help. You are loved 💜
1:51 I still believe that it's the Rotom in the dex that's messing with the entries to freak out the player
Wow, we’ve been watching for six years now. I was in middle school when this started, and now I’m a sophomore in college. Never thought I’d write that type of comment
11:57 What makes this Umbreon design so cool to me is the various outer space elements:
- The Moons & Stars all over the body.
- The ring around the torso being like the outer parts of a Black Hole.
- The tail & ears being meteors.
- And the base of the tail not only looking like a star, but also looking like the impact explosion from the meteor tail.
Also the ring is somewhat evocative of Arceus' fence-ring.
Mikey, please don't give me an existential crisis this early in the morning.
@@spookiBB It is indeed too early for this
I went sledding for the first time in over a decade today! It hasn’t snowed where I live this much in years.
Happy for you :)
I love sledding, I'm glad you got to experience it.
It wasn't WV, was it, lol? My work was shut down for 3 days because of the snow...
@@Whyteroze28 no, I live in the southwest
@gamemaster4947 then, I get what you mean. It's been too long since we've had decent snow anywhere in the mid to lower US.
1:22 wait what did Breloom do?
related the the ALLEGED healthcare sh00ter
hmu if you find out i’m so confused
@@NicoNails69Breloom was in Luigi Mangione's (the United Healthcare CEO assassin) twitter header. people also kinda meta analyzed it to link to a Bible verse about rich people being a plague (paraphrasing)
@@Cobalon was it the one about how a camel has an easier time getting through the eye of a needle, than a rich person has getting to heaven?
@@DissedRedEngie it was actually Proverbs 28:6, "Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways."
I love how Mikey could easily jump back into squirtle and bulbasaur voices after all this time
9:01 “Your channel shouldn’t be a TV channel” Oh is that right MandJ(TV)?
To be fair, 1. Technically the entire channel name is outdated since the "andJ" refers to someone who has no presence on this channel and 2. Michael has on multiple occasions stated that if the name wasn't so well renowned, he'd change it.
@@castform7 MTV
@@castform7 can't wait for MandJTV to rebrand as M

8:44 Mickey explains what a TV channel is
yeah he called it that too so what’s your point
Honestly, I see the fact that Mikey is even considering bringing back Pokemon Talk as an absolute win.
I thought I'll watch one of these after so long, and the first thing i get is an existential crisis
This a perfect time for a Pokémon Talk 5 YEAR REUNION
👍
Thx
Been looking forward to this all month
All year*
@@thomaskruitbosch6146ha, I see what you did there
Happy new year, been a fan for very long!
Haven't seen the poll, but more than 10. Like, I binged-watched the entire thing back in 2018, and then subbed to the main channel because of Pokemon Talk. I now stay due to all the other lovely content, but that's my origin story.
When I saw the Pokémon talk poll my first thought was there is no way we are getting a new Pokémon talk episode in 2025 kinda funny it was just the subreddit asking for more Pokémon talk
Other Pokemon meme review intros: funny joke
This episode: here’s your reminder that you are getting old
welp thanks for that slice of deppresion mikey
The Basement Yard shoutout hell yeah. Somehow, I've never watched a full episode, but due to having watched Joey's old Idiots of the Internet videos, I get recommended compilations all the time and laugh myself to tears.
if you haven't, i'd absolutely recommend watching them doing tongue twisters, my stomach hurt so bad and my cheeks were dry from tears.
Cut back to this when Legends comes out the weekend before thanksgiving lol
Love hearing about the creative aspect of the channel and the logistics. Really cool peek back behind the curtain of the RUclips bubble.
5:32 some context for this video from coney, the video is him reacting to a tv evangelist type religious guy who called Pokémon satanic. Coney makes some light hearted fun of the topic but definitely doesn’t think Pokémon is satanic, although he did really enjoy palworld…
It is pretty telling that the people who think Pokémon is satanic think that including a woman is equally worth criticism as those other 3 qualities they made up
What if Pokémon Talk had its own channel, the old ones are reposted there and then new ones also posted there?
10:00 So that's the source of this post
4:00 It may be a glitch but my Martin is actually useful half of the time (his french name is Ernest btw)
Something funny I realized is that both of the unrelated to Pokemon things that Mikey ended up in were about Spotify
10:12 and now that random community post makes a lot more sense.
I was wondering why he made that
Same
16:00
HOW DID YOU NOT GET IT 💔
“*Sigh* Duck”
Psyduck 💔
At least I’m not the only 1
5:42 It should be noted this video was reacting to the Pokémon Satanic Panic.
Plus it’s Coney, so the thumbnail’s going to be a joke anyway.
I wept with joy upon seeing Apollo Espeon. Not only is Apollo my FAVOURITE greek god , Espeon is one of my top 3 eeveeloutions
I think the idea of Pokémon talk being on the extra channel is perfect. Cause while it doesn’t work on the main channel that’s kinda why the extra channel exists. It’s for people who want extra Mandjtv and pokemon talk and aspitipiay are exactly that.
That wheedle is 100 percent on steroids💀
that weedle is on WEED. (or steroids)

Ah man, this is the Mikey I missed dearly. Calm, chill and heartwarming. And the greeting, outro and intro are just....beautiful. Keep winning, king.
When he said the decade is half over, I thought it was half over until he quit RUclips like MatPat did in 10 years, then I remembered, it’s WAYYY closer than 5 years.
I understand Pokémon Talk was a task for you to make, and I won't be surprised or disappointed if it comes back. But I do have some ideas for it.
You say it's difficult to come up with ideas. As a solution, every so often, whenever you feel like making an episode, you could have viewers submit ideas for the show through an (I believe it is a) Google docs form. That way, the ideas will only be known by you and the person who sent them in, and it'll be easier to make the episodes
You also say that many of your audience is new and hasn't seen it, and that your main audience wouldn't care for it. I believe (and please correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a long time since the channel was created from the end of your sabbatical) MandJTV Extra was made for your more dedicated audience. If a lot of people from your audience here used to watch Pokémon Talk, then it would possibly perform decently or even well.
Lastly, you could do a test episode! You could just post one episode here to see how it does, and if it does worse than you'd like, never do it again if you don't feel like it.
Again, by no means am I urging you to make Pokémon Talk again, I understand that you lost your passion for it. I also do not own and manage this channel 😂 these are just ideas to help lighten the burden, if you do decide to make Pokémon Talk again.
This is a great idea!
Also, the fact that he ended with episode #58 makes it relatively easy to come up with plots for #59 and #60.
The first should be an Eeveelution episode, since season 6 didn't have one yet. Espeon is the only Eeveebro who hasn't appeared, so he'd obviously be the guest. And then #60 would be season finale with a fight against Mewtwo.
Btw, I think if Mikey talked about PT more and promoted it to his new fans, most of them would watch it and then love it just like us OG fans did. I've been watching Mikey since like 2017, and PT is my favorite series of his to this day.
How dare you lure me in with that thumbnail and then immediately slap an existential crisis on us all instead of giving us answers on SYLVESTER-QUAZA WHAT-
Happy new year mandjtv!❤
You're definitely a youtube who i have watched with the utnmost consistency over the year and absolutely here for whatever you make!
Ngl hoping pokemon talk does make a bit of a comeback, its so funny
25:38 I thought he said “I like curvy” and I was so confused lol
I was out of full screen mode and right as I got to that point this showed up on the comments preview lol
4:20 that camera angle is infinitely better then the constantly changing angles, zooms, and panning that gen 9 has
Edit: someone in comments pointed out that this feature has been in most games since X and Y. I hadn't remembered it in previous games since I beat them once and then just put the games down. Legends and Scarlet are the only pokemon games recently I've put a lot of time in, so I just forgot.
Thanks to user {youtube keeps deleting my reply and I think it's because of their name} for reminding me
yeah I agree, but also every game since xy (minus legends) did that what are you talking about, gen 9 is also the only one that doesn't force that camera upon you for every single battle
New game=bad, gimme likes
@@faux-ashley I had forgotten that, since I did not play much of gens 6 and later except for Legends Arceus and Scarlet. Thank you
@@thevenom2731 Just because I dislike 1 feature does not mean I dislike the game
@@faux-ashley RUclips deleted my first reply, but I had forgotten about that since I did not play much of gen 6 or later except Legends and Scarlet. Thanks for the reminder.
🎉Here’s to a great new year of Pokémon content!🎉
25:31 Oh my goodness I have those same slippers but in black, I wear them all the time 😂. Great to know one of my favorite Poketubers wears them as well, what a coincidence! xD
“HAPPY NEW YEARRR, YAYYYY :D- *the decade is half over*” that has basically been my constant state since January 1st lol
Happy New Year, Mikey!
Mikey saying that he could still do the Bulbasaur and Squirtle voices, but I feel like Grunty Boi's voice is just an evolved version of Squirtle's voice.
But yeah, personally I feel like Pokémon Talk could work well on MandJTV Extra, or I guess MandJTV Clips if its short form content
Edit: Another idea I feel could maybe work is a Bulbasaur and Squirtle playthrough of a game. If Mikey enjoyed Mystery Dungeon, I feel like it'd be funny if Bulbasaur and Squirtle playing Mystery Dungeon could be a cool video idea
Lol, Grunty Boi is basically Squirtle and regular Mikey is basically Bulbasaur.
Hopefully 2025 will be way better 😅 Happy New Year Mikey!!
The Pokemon talk throwback gave me so much nostalgia, if felt like watching and old episode, I’d love to see a comeback but I understand Michael not wanting to do it
As a duck, I can confirm that Psyduck goes on massacres only due to wanting some peace and quiet.
Happy new year man!!!
I was just watching a previous episode of pokemon meme review, and this dropped midway through
Justice for Pokemon talk
No matter how many times I watch this, the thumbnail changes like 3 different times but all great!!
Poseidon Vaporeon is kinda funny to me... because my main battling Vaporeon that I've had for a long time is actually named Poseidon X3
