Here is me listening to this masterpiece, wondering if there’s even a fraction of a chance we get one for the Team Star Boss Theme, love these adorable lil videos :)
I read this before it came up in the video, and I read it wrong. I thought it said a replica OF him and then I pictured rika in a big clodsire costume and it was good
Gotta love trick questions. Fun fact: I went for years not even knowing about Blaine's quiz show, I just figured I had to beat all the trainers to get to him, and that made perfect sense to my little elementary school brain. That logic still makes sense to me today, even knowing what I know now, but it made sense back then too.
@@webbowser8834 Me too. I didn't know the machines are quizzes to open the doors. I just beat the trainers. I just learned about it many years later when I bought a copy of Yellow (?). I don't know if it was Yellow or Leaf Green were you HAD to do the quizzes to move forward.
Honestly one can feel how serious this is in the Japanese version as this is iirc the only time she speaks "standard" Japanese rather than in the Kansai dialect. And literally as soon as it's over she goes back into dialect
You know, Rika's super gruff and grounded, but her entire team consists of goofy Ground-type animals from the first three generations. Like, she could have a Garchomp, Krookodile, Hippowdon, Mudsdale and even Palossand, all of them scary or tough. But her actual team is happy goofy Whiscash, dopey Camerupt, roly-poly Donphan, legendary meme Dugtrio, and *C l o d s i r e .*
After the interview I imagine Rika & Poppy burst into laughter from trying to hold it in for the entire time. Rika*bursts into laughter*: Hahahahahaha Oh man! Did you see his face? Poppy*giggling*:Yeah it was great.
I do think we’ll see her again, given the fact that we got the Galarian Star Tournament in SWSH. They might do something similar in SV where all the notable characters can be in a tournament together
“You are trying to become the Champion, right? I mean, why else would you be here?” She says as if 90% of contestants aren’t just here because they want to date her-
I was literally 0:06 seconds into this when I clicked the share button to send it to my friend XD Clodsire hadn't even shown up yet XD Rika was just blinking to the beat and I KNEW I needed to share it XD
so i wasnt paying attention to the dialog for like half the thing and then I look down and see Rika telling me not to get distracted by the singing clodsires anymore. the timing of me looking down and seeing that, amazing
One time I was watching this on my switch, then when the first Clodsire started to sing the first note, the app closed due to an error. Goes to show how powerful Clodsire really is.
The foreshadow that Poppy taught some of them to play instruments tho Ten leaguepoints on us getting to see one of these friend shaped squishmallows whip out an electric guitar.
1:05 Clodsire: Is mayonnaise an instrument? Poppy: No Clodsire, mayonnaise is not an instrument Clodsire: ... Poppy: Horseradish is not an instrument either
So are these the same clodsires and woopers from the Area Zero video? If so we have a confirmation of their trainer. Also I can imagine that after the animation, off-screen Rika is just dying of laughter
Clearly the great chonk, Clodsire, and his partners were not yet done showing off their vocal skills lol. Funny addition to this little meme. Very entertaining.
Please please PLEASE do the last Pokémon part of the gym leader theme! It would be awesome to see the clodsire cheering you on! Alternatively, you could have them vacation to galar and sing the gym theme there - hell, you could even do the gigantamax eternatus theme with the clodsires doing the howling parts. I’m looking forward to any more you may make! Oh, and Chairman Rose theme would be funny too. Just saying. Lol
"I had a replica made for him to wear for fun" is the absolute best line
She would absolutely actually do it too
Here is me listening to this masterpiece, wondering if there’s even a fraction of a chance we get one for the Team Star Boss Theme, love these adorable lil videos :)
"This is a very serious interview."
If I had a Clodsire and glasses I would do it for him too.
I read this before it came up in the video, and I read it wrong. I thought it said a replica OF him and then I pictured rika in a big clodsire costume and it was good
I cannot help but imagine she’s using all her energy not to burst out laughing
Oh, quagsolutely she is.
@@twofortielClodsolutely
Haha true
Without a doubt in my mind
Yep
Syncing up Rika's blinks to the beat is such a fun detail
Very loud blinks
Next level observation
"The woopers can fly because they believe they can" beautiful, everything about this video is a masterpiece.
The woopers are like jevil and they have permission to say *I CAN DO ANYTHING!*
Honestly, Rika would be the kind of person to do this. Anything for the joke.
Rika has prior commitments, and they’re all TO THE BIT
"This is an important interview" is the funniest line Rika says here.
Nah it’s “don’t worry I’m sure he’ll be back” after the clodsire disappears
1:40 Please try not to get distracted by the singing Clodsires anymore... This is a very serious interview.
Me: sorry I just have habit of being distracted
This is almost as intense as that question in blaine's gym in pokemon red and blue.
"Does Caterpie evolve into Butterfree?"
*begins to sweat*
Gotta love trick questions.

Or we just put our water type out front and just battle the trainers directly.
@@webbowser8834 Me too. I didn't know the machines are quizzes to open the doors. I just beat the trainers. I just learned about it many years later when I bought a copy of Yellow (?). I don't know if it was Yellow or Leaf Green were you HAD to do the quizzes to move forward.
@@manoftruth0935me with my overlevelled dugtrio:
I give the wrong answer anyways so I can farm trainer battles in that gym
Rika being self aware of dialogue boxes and dlc was strangely hilarious
clodsire is one of my new favourite pokémon and i was SO happy to find a shiny wooper in the swamps randomly
Clodsire is one of thee best gen 9 shines ✨️
oof congrats! The area they live in are also super pretty and well designed imo
I too have a shiny wooper (clodsire)
HEY THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO!!!
I had a shiny Clodsire on my team for the league and I can pretend he’s there making bgm with Rika’s Clodsire.
“please try not to be distracted by the singing clodsires anymore”
i don’t think that’s even a remote possibility
Honestly one can feel how serious this is in the Japanese version as this is iirc the only time she speaks "standard" Japanese rather than in the Kansai dialect. And literally as soon as it's over she goes back into dialect
You can tell Rika is trying not to die from laughter
Wonderful, I’m glad the shiny wooper has returned once again to join in the chorus
You know, Rika's super gruff and grounded, but her entire team consists of goofy Ground-type animals from the first three generations. Like, she could have a Garchomp, Krookodile, Hippowdon, Mudsdale and even Palossand, all of them scary or tough.

I like to imagine Poppy is right behind the desk just playing with legos or something.
Clodsire: bell synth
Shiny clodsire: bass
Paldean wooper: organ-ish synth/keys pad
Shiny paldean Wooper/normal wooper (I can't tell): synth arpeggio
The antennae show its shiny paldean
@@Froggo4484 also the belly pattern
@@Kuroeks I thought it was the fact that it was PURPLE
i literally cannot hear the bass at all
I can just imagine rika training the clodsires and paldean woopers to sing like a choir
:Pointing to @AIM:
THIS MAN NEEDS AND AWARD.
"You're just gonna fail on purpose to see me and my singing Pokemon again, aren't you?"
*Me trying to hide a beaming smile * Yeah, how'd you know?
Poppy is just throwing the wooper back and forth, also I would do this interview a dozen times just for the melodious sounds of the round boi
Poppy and Larry playing catch with the woopers.
Absolute definition of perfection at its finest form in reality and fiction
she now hides the Wooper and Clodsire under her desk to avoid distractions. That's why we don't see them in the game.
Rika is 100% the type of person to do this just because, and they have also mastered the art of keeping a straight face
This is now my headcanon of where the music is coming from in the elite four question area.
The way the clodsire slides on screen with his glasses is my favorite thing in the world
After the interview I imagine Rika & Poppy burst into laughter from trying to hold it in for the entire time. Rika*bursts into laughter*: Hahahahahaha Oh man! Did you see his face? Poppy*giggling*:Yeah it was great.
Hassel, crying with joy: *”IDS SO BEAUDIFUL”* **sob**
Larry just enjoys the show and is sliently clapping on the other side of the room
@@theburningfalcon974 nah Larry just shrugs it off and leaves the room while eating an onigiri he ordered
@@a_random_lizard you mean jelly filled donuts?
He’s eating it with his Dudunsparce
I was terribly nervous for this interview for some reason.
Any contact with Rika is stressful because of how much charisma she has and how pretty she is, we all experienced that!
That Clodsire with glasses is realy intimidanting
If I don't see Rika in the DLC or ever again I will throw a clodsire sized tantrum
also beautiful art ❣
Would you say you would throw a Stomping Tantrum?
Same. I'm not beating the Elite 4 till I know I can see her again or at least challenge them all like past games
I do think we’ll see her again, given the fact that we got the Galarian Star Tournament in SWSH. They might do something similar in SV where all the notable characters can be in a tournament together
Me too. At least do it for the sapphic audience, Game Freak please!
You can invite her to blueberry acedemy most likely
Clodsire with glasses killed me from how cute it is. Literally.
Wooper/Clodsire are truly musical geniuses. They make piano and keyboard sounds using their vocals. This truly is the best video on youtube
Rika does this to any challenger that peeks her interest as another test to see if they can focus on the interview while the clodsires do all that
“You are trying to become the Champion, right? I mean, why else would you be here?” She says as if 90% of contestants aren’t just here because they want to date her-
Sadly I doubt I have a chance as a guy, Rika gives off big lesbian vibes to me
@@BaconNuke honestly if Rika’s not gay, the LGBT Pokémon community will have taken a massive L
@@squidmom3162 she has to be gay. She's a walking lesbian flag!
The others are there to pet the clodsires
I was literally 0:06 seconds into this when I clicked the share button to send it to my friend XD Clodsire hadn't even shown up yet XD Rika was just blinking to the beat and I KNEW I needed to share it XD
so i wasnt paying attention to the dialog for like half the thing and then I look down and see Rika telling me not to get distracted by the singing clodsires anymore. the timing of me looking down and seeing that, amazing
this is pure perfection
One time I was watching this on my switch, then when the first Clodsire started to sing the first note, the app closed due to an error. Goes to show how powerful Clodsire really is.
This is actually the greatest video ever created
The foreshadow that Poppy taught some of them to play instruments tho
Ten leaguepoints on us getting to see one of these friend shaped squishmallows whip out an electric guitar.
Shiny Wooper’s smile brings light to my life
This was the squeal we all were waiting for
I love that even a year after this video was made we still can't rechallenge the elite four
Unless you call them as coaches in the DLC at Blueberry Academy
1:05 Clodsire: Is mayonnaise an instrument?
Poppy: No Clodsire, mayonnaise is not an instrument
Clodsire: ...
Poppy: Horseradish is not an instrument either
The glasses on the Clodsire was adorable!
What’s hilarious is I entered the interview with both a normal and shiny clodsire in my party. So this was my experience
When Larry showed up as an Elite Four member I was shocked because I chose him when Rika asked me which gym leader gave me the hardest time lol.
Ngl. I squeed when I saw Clodsire wearing Rika's glasses
Yeah I can see Rika pulling this on a slow day
I LOVE how Rika addresses the clodsires behind her.
Clodsire is by far my favourite new mon, so glad the internet agrees
"Please don't be distracted by the singing Clodsires anymore"
Yeah sure let me also just run through this rain without getting wet.
OMG this reminds me of distraction news, it's an old segment of a TV show I watched as a kid
Confirmation: You can indeed invite Rika to BB Academy and battle her.
“Don’t worry I’m sure he’ll be back” is to funny
This is a gem of a video and we must keep it precious for Clodsire's sake
The matching glasses is so cute
Clodsire was the evolution that Wooper deserved all along
Ah yes, the hardest leg of becoming champion has just begun
The image of a dopey amphibian opening its mouth and producing an echoey staccato bell note is incredibly funny to me
I think we did pretty well I mean we turned the whole interview around onto her.
2:23 Bro predicted the indigo disk dlc
Why do I have a playlist just for this
Rika: Why are you laughing?
You:
Clodsire is the best pokemon to have ever existed
"Why else would you be here?"
Me: *sweating nervously* N-No reason, Mo..- I-I mean, Ms. Rika. 😳
Psychologists: All dreams have meaning.
My dreams:
Rika just wants to start the interview but the player kept going off track asking questions about those vibing clodsires 😔
"This is a very serious interview" *woopers flying around in the back*
I'm not sure I could do the interview with all those guys singing in the back, I'd be ready to bust a gut laughing
Update here if you didn't already know: Rika, Geeta, and all the other Elite 4 members and Gym leaders return in The Indigo Disk DLC.
So are these the same clodsires and woopers from the Area Zero video? If so we have a confirmation of their trainer.
Also I can imagine that after the animation, off-screen Rika is just dying of laughter
the codsires and woopers make listening to the actual music better
For me, the interview was the most stressful part of the Elite 4.
Well Rika was right, we did see her in the DLC
Yes we did. :)
If the elite four interview was good:
Oh also you made the Rika design even more cooler!
this is quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to me
thank you
I never thought Pokémon would have a Crossover with My singing monsters
_My Singing _*_Pocket_*_ Monsters_
Glad to know where the music came from
I feel like after all of this, Rika hugged her clodsire just cause
Skeledirge may be the one with Torch song, but we all know who the true Main vocalist is.
Clearly the great chonk, Clodsire, and his partners were not yet done showing off their vocal skills lol. Funny addition to this little meme. Very entertaining.
I love the glasses.
This must become a meme of clodsire just singing to any song. Can you imagine clodsire singing wonderwall?
Just imagine taking your exam and this happening in all seriousness. Like, who WOULDNT get distracted? XD
Clodsire is a big dopey chocolate donut with a face and I love him for it
2:35 meanwhile in an alternate dimension where the Detective Pikachu movie villan won.
Best kind of interview
"oh this was intentional to see how serious you are about this"
I'm so glad I am using Clodsire for my latest run on Violet.
This… this is perfection… now time for my clodsire only run
This is the most incredibly Rika thing I've ever seen
This is something I never knew I needed more thank you
Please please PLEASE do the last Pokémon part of the gym leader theme! It would be awesome to see the clodsire cheering you on! Alternatively, you could have them vacation to galar and sing the gym theme there - hell, you could even do the gigantamax eternatus theme with the clodsires doing the howling parts. I’m looking forward to any more you may make!
Oh, and Chairman Rose theme would be funny too. Just saying. Lol
i second all of these
A truly wonderful video; Great work! 🎉
When the clod came in wearing the glasses -
Good work
This made me smile ear to ear
Rika: Orchestrator of Sires.
That clodsire with glasses is the cutest thing ever. If only this was in the game….
This... is wonderful xD
The dialogue in this animation is absolute gold
Wooper is teleporting
i love how she just talks about the pokemon
