Just wondering what happened to almighty mandals . I’ve hadn’t seen a new video in a long time . He was actually one of my favorite poke tubers especially with his op Pokémon series and would’ve liked to see him continue but with gens 6 - 8 .
If I had to guess I’d say he’s not coming back. I have no clue what happened but I checked his other socials, found his personal twitter and he seems to be in a rough spot. I hope the best for him
Charjabug is actually a good Pokémon to use in SM's main story. Give it Spark, Acrobatics, X-Scissor, and Crunch, and slap an Eviolite on it. The cute little Bug Bus becomes surprisingly viable.
There's actually a reason the evolution like looks like that. It's based on a Chinese(?) myth about a mythical serpent. If this serpent survives for 1000 years, an orb will fall from the sky. And if it catches the orb, it will become a dragon. Dratini is the serpent, Dragonaire is the serpent catching the orb (the orb on its neck) and transforming (hence the wings), and Dragonite is it finally becoming a dragon.
I just looked it up, and you were probably talking about Imugis(the serpents) catching fallen Yeouijus(the orbs) which was actually a Korean folktale. Korean dragons are more associated with aquatic environments which explains why the evo line are a part of the Water egg group and are stated to live near lakes, ponds, and even the sea(for Dragonite's case). The concept is interesting, though Dragonite could've looked a little more serpentine though so the transition wouldn't be too jarring. Its Gen 1 sprite in Red/Green was a much better design.
My favourite is Pupitar. I love Tyranitar's design too, but Pupitar's design will always be my favourite. A rough exterior housing an unknown power underneath. Or, maybe I'm just biased because I spent so long training it that I got attached to it.
My favorites that have always been middle-evolutions: - Charmeleon - Vigoroth - Krokorok My favorites that later became middle-evolutions: - Magneton - Magmar - Electabuzz - Rhydon - Seadra - Piloswine - Dusclops
You had some good choices for middle-stage Pokémon. The Pokedex also stated that Quilava has fire-proof fur, one more reason to make it great. It's easily one of my favorites. A couple of my favorites (aside from Quilava and Dewott) would be Croconaw and Electabuzz. The former was that I chose Totodile for my starter in Pokémon Silver and the fact it has a sort of crocodile/caveman thing going on. The latter because it just seems like a really cool Electric-type and how well it would perform in the anime. Nearly any trainer with an Electabuzz proved to be very competent and powerful.
My favorite middle stage evolution pokemon is braixen, it's so cute and cool that I had to choose fennekin as my starter in X and Y, I didn't what it to evolve because I thought braixen was cooler than Delphox and apparently game freak thinks so too because they chose braixen to be put in pokken tournament over delphox which I think is funny and it shows how awesome braixen is.
When I played gen 3 I got stuck after the second gym because I was a kid and didn't know how to progress. I grinded those low level pokemon with my grovyle for centuries
Haunter and Dragonair all the way. I never had the patience to evolve my Dragonair in the past (up until my recently completed playthrough of Leaf Green) and enjoy its design. And Haunter I couldn't help but love. Especially since I've never had anyone to trade with to get a Gengar. Some middle evolutions that I like that you didn't mention include Bayleef, Togetic, and Ivysaur. Bayleef because of the anime. Ivysaur because I like Gen 1-3's Grass middle evolutions. And Togetic because it's cute.
I think we know his opinion on Pikachu and Pikablu :P I had that same Dragonair card and I loved it. I love his design and Wartortle's for the same reason. The blue complements the head wings. I had a Haunter story and then a Seadra story that turned out the same. Guides were scarce back then. I also have a Weepinbell story since he was one of my first shinies, and more useful in my Raikou hunt than poor Magneton with his glitched paralysis tactic. I ended up evolving him, but Weepinbell has his own slapstick face. :lb
Jeez... the reason the Samurott doesn't pull off the "Ninja" look well is because it isn't a ninja line. It's a SAMURAI line. (Also Grotle looks good).
Why did Haunter not pop back into my head?! Maybe all that Gengar talk in False Swipe Gaming's coverage. You're definitely not alone; as is, I have Haunter TCG nostalgia, as it and Growlithe were the only two cards left to me when the rest of my collection was stolen from my middle school locker. And heck, that phase when its hands had a red glow outline? Haunter was truly approachably spoopy.
Dewott was never supposed to be a ninja, more likely a ronin or something among those lines. And Samurott pulls off the samurai vibe much better. He has a lance and two swords, and can stand on his rear legs. Much more threatening in my opinion Also, what Swaddlon really simbolizes is not nice. Leavanny being a tailor and a caretaker is much better
The dragonair dragonite thing makes sense, since there’s a Japanese myth that describes a serpent like dragon and if it lives for 1000 years and catches the ball that falls from the sky (shown on dragonair’s neck) it will become a “real dragon.”
You're telling me Metapod is not #1??? ahahahahah Bust seriously, I think my favorite middle evolution, although he didn't start out that way, is Dusclops.... I love that little dude!
I do preferred Haunter's design over Gengars. Haunter's looks scarier IMO where Gengar just looks more mischievous and prankster-esque. But my favorite middle stage evolution will always be Rhydon!!!
We're waiting for you to return, man... :(

Still waiting...

Charjabug also has some competitive use in doubles thanks to it's signature ability.
Speaking of Charjabug, please check out this Charjabug awesomness in these battle videos. Enjoy LOL

Man this guy was my childhood. Man are you doing okay? Not heard from you on anything for ages.
Miss you man, wish I knew you were doing okay. Hope you are doing great. Love
Wow. He's really dead. RIP Mandals
AH YES SOMEONE FINALLY AGREES ABOUT GROVILE AND DRAGONAIR. I never evolve Dragonair.
Dragonite should really get a mega that keeps the body type, but has nothing but characteristics of the previous form.
There's actually a reason the evolution like looks like that. It's based on a Chinese(?) myth about a mythical serpent. If this serpent survives for 1000 years, an orb will fall from the sky. And if it catches the orb, it will become a dragon.

Dragonair is amazingly graceful-looking with a cool mythic background.
TOP 3: ivysaur, charmeleon, wartortle jk BRAIXEN deserves something better :/
all of them are cool
we're still here for you man, just waiting
When I was little I thougt that dragonite evolves into Charizard 😅😂
yohan Beekmans I thought it was the other way around 😂
TheRetroMixey 😂
I thought Pikachu and Charizard could beat every single Pokémon. Thanks, Ash
Lol I thought murkrow evolved into houndoom. Don't ask why
Mitch Warnke lol
Kadabra, Graveler, Haunter and Machoke. Cause I never had anyone to trade with! :P
He doesn't even stream on Twitch or tweet anymore....
Man.... what happened with this guy?
Middle Stage Evos in a nutshell:
It's not a phase dad! This is the new me!
Also, I'm really sad we never got the Eternal-Floette.
My favourite is Pupitar. I love Tyranitar's design too, but Pupitar's design will always be my favourite. A rough exterior housing an unknown power underneath.
Or, maybe I'm just biased because I spent so long training it that I got attached to it.

Man what a classic channel I hope Mandles is having a good retirement : )
Is no one gonna talk about him not posting a video for 3 months?
Just dewott? Bye

You spelled years wrong.
What happened to Mandals? Is he dead?

isnt it strange that middle stage pokemon are hated, but the most popular pokemon is one? Well it was a first stage in gen 1 but still
Isn't it confirmed that greninja is the most popular Pokemon? I dont think even 1 person voted for a middle stage
