Horn drill saved me from a championship battle in an old fanmade pokemon game though. It was a level 90 arbok and all that I have left was a HM slave rhydon which I taught horn drill just because I can
I don't know about the newer pokemon generations, but i want to know what kind of crack this team skull is selling so that it threatens the whole region
It is with this video I'm only now realizing that the sound for when a Skull Grunt spots you isn't "WHAT THE-?!" like I'd thought for so long, but instead "DOKURO!", the Japanese word for "skull"
Pokemon writing up until Team Skull was... ok, actually pretty good at times. But with Team Skull they've reached prime jRPG levels they still can't reach again. And no, cheap drama like ill dog and gazillion dead parents doesn't make for good writing. It's literally some edgy ROM hack jackshit, minus the charm. Dokuro Dan for the win!
Pokémon black and white 2 had a similar story with Hue, but with even lesser pay off than Pokémon scarlet and violets story I can give Pokémon scarlet and violet's story credit since its the only Pokémon game with an actual real consequence within its story that does not get retconned or resolved "with a slap in the face" like everyone lives and everyone is happy at the end like the other Pokémon games. Pokémon black 2 and white 2 has better end game ,so I expected Hue's story to be pretty petty and meaningless since Hue's ending to me was kind of lack luster it feels like nothing happened with Hue he just got over team plasma after he got Purrloin back . even Base Pokémon Black and White has a much better story than black 2 and white 2. Pokémon scarlet and violet and Pokémon diamond and pearl are pretty much the only Pokémon games with a consequence based ending with one of its characters losing someone they love ,or escaping there reality so both Gen games still leaves a dark tone even after Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl ends.
@@1BadAssArchAngelvs14 yes, but you also forget vanilla S&M where there also were sad consequences for the characters: Lusamine is in coma, Gladion is forced to grow up quicker and take over Aether, Lillie leaves to Kanto, Guzma loses a final time to us and have to work on himself after the gaze of his former master, Skull Grunts, although find their place in life, state they feel abandoned by Guzma (at least one says it), Plums seems to be in exile, although Mollaine and Nanu reach out to her to pursue her to take on the League, UBs are all over. I don't remember what happened to Hau (aside from the that you CAN'T GIVE HIM MALASADAS), but he has a bitter side to his life and I don't remember how it's resolved, unfortunately. I'd argue B&W, D&P did it on pair while S/V is behind on that. Although, yes, it's the only other that has the structure you described.
@@LoreDanka87 Now all of Arvens parents are now dead compare that to a coma. I meant Hugh the rival from Pokémon black 2 and white 2 having a lack luster finish to a story for Hugh not Hau from pokemon sun and moon. eveyone in base sun and moon are stlll alive ,so it means less to me when someone survives in a RPG via story. I mean we rarely see anyone die in a Pokémon game that's what i am talking about.
@@1BadAssArchAngelvs14 hm, I see. I personally don't like how this plot twist is executed. Firstly the other parent is clearly alive and should be somewhere. They're talked about in Professor's notes. Secondly, it just felt like a cheap device to make you care after making Arven and other companions as unlikable or weird as possible. It's like a cliche, a badly executed cliche. Ill dog doesn't make it better. But that's my opinion on it
Team Skull is just an entire team full of Jesse and James.
Pure fax
Including the financial trouble!
@@williammerwin1850 Make it double!
The fact that they always do their gang signs while they're talking is amazing
Mad respect to that level of commitment 😂
Plot twist: It's actually sign language
You can also get this an emote in Pokemon Go. It's kinda funny to see.

I especially love the two Team Skull Grunts early on who imply their ACTUAL NAMES are "Grunt A" and "Grunt B."
That “Sometimes I want to smash the world, but I’m always afraid of it” line is one of my favorite quotes in Pokémon, I felt that shit in my soul and still do.
😏
I mean, ohko moves chance of hitting is the same chance as focus blast missing
So basically they hit all the time
Focus blast has 50% accuracy
OHKOs have an accuracy rate of *25%*
Bro 💀
@@ksoundkaiju9256 "Anything lower than 100% is always a 50/50."
- Average Xcom player.
Facts
@@ksoundkaiju9256 it’s 70% and 30% respectively
0:46
That grunt fails to realize that they NPCs can land 70% accuracy moves all day but it takes us 10 turns just to land one
The "luck" of the npcs and wild pokemon is ridiculous. I will never forgive kyogre for taking half of my team with sheer cold in emerald
i hate how anti-player pokemon is
it cheats with rng and mistreats people who payed money to give them a life
I love how you can hear the males say "what the?" and the females gasp if you catch them off guard
The fraction of a second of loosing animation and then cutting back like nothing happened made me laugh more than it should have
Horn drill saved me from a championship battle in an old fanmade pokemon game though. It was a level 90 arbok and all that I have left was a HM slave rhydon which I taught horn drill just because I can
Your lucky it didn’t have modern mechanics where ohko moves don’t work if your level is
Unironically I love Team Skull so much. And the dark type policeman, which was really interesting to me.
That ending is SOO CUTE!
Ikr
I love these kids with all my heart
Team Skull is second to Team Rocket. I love them both so much
Team Skull deserved better.
Is nobody gonna mention Buzzwole
"Hey, yo! This here's my life-long trauma! I am in therapy, ya hear?"
The kitty tried
That’s one of the things, why I loved Gen 7
I don't know about the newer pokemon generations, but i want to know what kind of crack this team skull is selling so that it threatens the whole region
@1:07: Truly noted. Jumping back into the Pokemon scene with new smarts learned from the boycott.
"Game: Sword and shield"
RUclips SERIOUSLY? THIS IS SUN AND MOON 💀💀💀
fun fact: it says scarlet and violet now,,,
Those grunts really should go for some dance audition.
Team skull is one of if not my favorite teams.
Here the truth is, who would hate team skull?
common team skull w
It is with this video I'm only now realizing that the sound for when a Skull Grunt spots you isn't "WHAT THE-?!" like I'd thought for so long, but instead "DOKURO!", the Japanese word for "skull"
This is from a romhack btw if it wasn't obvious lol
but from what hack in question?
Which one?
@@eeveelover64 pokemon star
0:14 made it very apparent
I might've seen the OHKO potshot in vanilla. I don't remember.
They be spitting fax 100% of the time the other teams need To take Notes🥱
I don't know about anyone else, but I hear "Doubl-ah!" from the male grunts.
That's kinda funny.
This is starting to make no sense every day, an alteration in reality created a gym Paradox, a gym that basically doesn't exist
I would say something like “First” but that’s overdone by now.
"Duh du-duh" 😂😂
1:01 Akechi from Persona 5: DID YOU SAY PANCAAAAAKES!!!!!!!
“Yo, I’ll do anything if ya pay me for it!”
“Like, let’s see…”
“Wanna see me get hit with Hyper Beam?”
Please make a compilation of All dog Pokemon

team skull is just like me fr fr
They do be spitting facts doe indeed
Clearly the grunt hasn’t heard of Ting-Lu
The lillie mansion is the best
0:46 fr tho ._.
Needs more Lillie
yoooo pewdiepie shirt wth?
No one's talking about the picture of Lillie?
Yo is this modded or emulated?
And then after this, we only got shitty teams
