I love the synergy of Pokémon in your Moon team. Decidueye and Toucannon are angsty birds, Zoroark and Ninetales-A are both illusive foxes, and Wishiwashi and Passimian use teamwork as a tactic! :)
You not only sound like you could be a confident gym leader, but also an experienced champion of the many types. Passing down knowledge to those who are starting their journeys and the many pokemon friends who's helped along the way.
I love when you and Toby make videos like these, its so fun to hear about the teams youve used recently. It inspired me to make an instagram page where i share pokemon teams ive used!
I really love hearing you talk about your teams because it sounds like your play style is really similar to mine! I also like to take things a little more casually and just play with pokemon I like, even if it doesn't make for the most balanced or competitive team, and I get very attached to them. And I can't tell you how long I spend agonizing over picking the perfect fitting names for all my pokemon! I really appreciate all the clever names you come up with 😄
I'm similar too. I don't play competitively, and while I like to have a competent team so I can defeat gyms and stuff, I more so care about liking my team and connecting with them. What I really like about the modern games is having the campsites/picnics so I can interact with my pokemon and have them follow me around.
I've been tempted to do this before, but I think the Grass type is the only one where I could find a substantial pool of pokemon that I actually like. Most games seem to be so limited in most types like fire, ghost, poison, electric, etc. Perhaps a normal type run would be interesting?
Dex nav was definitely a huge plus, a shame it went away. I loved being able to get lucky eggs from pelliper as soon as you had access to surf, as well as being able to hunt for rarer Pokémon like ralts much more easily.
Gotta say, my Ultra sun team is still my favourite team of them all. I got so attached to them thanks to Pokémon Refresh. I had Oliver the Decidueye, Havoc the Vikavolt, Horus the Hawlucha, Percy the Swampert ( Island scan), Grimlock the Tyrantrum and Azula the Salazzle. All of them were blast to use, especially Oliver, who toughed out Ultra necrozma and landed crit Spirit shackle.
One of my most recent teams was in Black 2, which was Boaris the Emboar, Edna the Leavanny(named after Edna Mode from The Incredibles), Tectonic the Excadrill, Scavenger the Mandibuzz(the hidden ability one that can be captured on Thursdays in Route 4 in Black 2), Umibozu the Jellicent(named after a creature from Japanese mythology, whose name means "sea monk"), and Eelaine the Eelectross.
I remember in Ultra Sun, I had a Zoroark that my older brother said I should get. I named it after him and it became my MVP and is one of my favourite Pokemon. It was my first Pokemon to reach level 100 and I counted on it for everything. Damn I miss that thing.
Josh is actually a great name for a Toucannon, because one of my favorite RUclipsrs is Josh Scorcher AKA The Fiery Joker and Toucannon has the whole heat thing going on. Also, your Ninetales nickname is very close to what I name my male Alolan Ninetales: Yusuke, after the ice magic-using Phantom Thief (whose code name is Fox) from Persona 5.
I love when you make these. My team currently is Quaquaval, Glimmora, Ceruledge, Tinkaton, Annihiliape and Veluza. Quaquaval is probably my second favourite starter
I love that you’ve finally had some fun with a monotype run. I’ve played way too many monotype runs myself and they’re one of my favorites. I particularly enjoy Ghost type runs and flying type runs. I’m currently doing a ghost run in Violet and thoroughly enjoying it. Kinda want to do a Dark run though because of the Treasures of Ruin. I tried a flying run in Shining Pearl but could not finish it. Got so bored. Legends is super fun for challenges. Did a Baby only run with the rule that I had to find a shiny and an alpha of each. Started a Grass run recently as well to celebrate Sprigatito being a cool cat. Similar rule here, needing all alphas. I also limited myself to only catching grass types, so it added an extra challenge to getting the ranks in the dex that I needed. Had to perfect a lot of entries. Small shoutout to single mon runs. I’ve been attempting to do a challenge run of every game where Sableye shows up. Named the boy Garlic and used him to destroy Ruby a few years ago. Also just want to throw in my support for the Tinka line. I found mine with having no idea what she was, and I basically fell in love with this violent crafting gremlin at first sight. I named mine Hatsume (after the inventor in MHA, Mei Hatsume) and she quickly became my strongest mon. Largely because I used her for catching. She learned Thunder Wave and was able to tank attacks really well.
I wasn't super excited for Paldean Wooper, but Clodsire is such a wonderful, goofy lump. That it has actually proven to be such a useful team member is a great bonus.
Lokix is one of those pokemon that I'm happy to hear when people like it, because it's based off of one Kamen Rider- one of my favorite franchises. They even made it's shiny and typing based off of Kamen Rider, which I find so cool!!
Just to put this out there, set mode wouldn’t be more realistic because they switch out after a win in the anime constantly. If you want it realistic you just limit your Party to the same count as theirs
Some things first: I like your way of playing the games. Just from the way you're talking about your teams and your experiences, I feel like I can tell how much you like playing the games. In a casual, not-on-competetive-focused way. And that's exactly how I love to play them as well. Especially using Pokemon I'm very fond of. And huuuuge shout out for being a youtube who doesn't straight up hate on Meowscarada just for being bipedal. It's a minor thing, but I really appreciate you for that. As for my team for Pokemon Scarlet: - Meowscarada (best starter of Gen 9, no question) - Glaceon (it's my absolute favorite Pokemon of all time and I finally could get one pretty much right after the tutorial - I was extremely hyped about that) - Tinkaton (Like you said, it took my heart by surprise. And the more I see and learn about it, the more I love it! Best Pokemon of this generation!) - Guardevoir (I found a Ralts very early on. And I didn't really spoil myself about new Pokemon, so to play it safe, I kept this strong Pokemon and since it's one of my favorites as well, it stayed; and I only found out there's Gothitelle really late into the game... I think my team was in their 60s by then; had I known before, then I'd have caught one of that, since I've been curious about playing with a Gothitelle for a while now, but it hasn't worked out so far...) - Salazzle (I only played Moon recently, where I also use a Salazzle; so aside from the very cool Fire/Poison typing, I also wanted to spend more time with it; that's why, once I found a Salandit I knew what to do) - Dragonair (yes, Dragonair - it carries an everstone; I love it - one of my all-time favorites - and for some reason, all the Gen1 or Gen2 playthroughs I attempted with one on my team... I never finished; I played those games a bunch before, so most of the times I grew bored of playing and never finished. So since this is my first playthrough of Scarlet - as soon as I saw a Dratini, the decision was made) So new generation and I'm using... 2 new Pokemon. Well, to be fair, while most of the new Pokemon look decent at the very least, none of them strike me as amazing or must-catch. Except for Tinkaton! As for my experience with the new games: Amazing! I can honestly ignore the flaws with the performance here and there and the dropping framerate from time to time. That doesn't stop me from enjoying those games at all! And, man, did it surprise me! At first, I was very aversed to the idea of playing as a literal student, expecting a very childish and dumb story (if any at all); In all honesty, the trailers did a very, very poor job of presenting the game. What those trailers showed, and what picture of the games built itself in my mind, is absolutely not what we actually got. So I should be happy about that. But... that almost made me not buy the game and miss out on such an enjoyable journey. I'm really glad I decided to buy it after all.
I too, used a Meowscarada (a female named Daisy), Clodsire (named her Clodia XD) and a Farigiraf (Jewel). At first I was disappointed that Sprigatito became bipedal for both evolutions, but having seen the other starter evolutions, I am happy with my decision to go with it. The other two are fine in their own way, but Meowscarada vibes with me the best.
Loved this video indeed! I love learning about people's teams and nicknames 😍 and actually it is such a cool idea to try for a monotype run! I believe I'll try that sometime
I've run a mono-grass team in a Pokémon Black playthrough and let's just say it is quite a challenge! Much more than a nuzzlocke (but that may be due to grass being weak to many and super effective against only a few Unovan gym leaders...)
I ran mono-Grass in Black 2. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised at how much work my Sawsbuck put in. Normal STAB with Fighting coverage may not be all that uncommon but with Horn Leech as added bulk, he was easily the ace on my team, while my poor Serperior lagged behind hard until I was able to pivot him into a physically-oriented Coil build.
I love all the teams! My favorite part of Pokémon is probably teambuilding so I really enjoy these videos! I never do challenge runs but after this I might do a pkmn black grass mono run
I literally thought, "YES he is doing the thing where he edits the pokemon pictures like they are standing as a group!" I've watched that "Which region has the best pokemon of each type" video many times, and a big reason is how pretty it is. Also, I have finally realized I am a full on Tinkaton stan. I grew to really like the evolution line. And only recently found out other people like it. Now, whenever someone talks about the new pokemon. I NEED to know what they think of Tinkaton. It's 100% one of my favorite new pokemon.
i’m glad i’m not the only one who calls out their pokemon when they send them out lmao. in legends arceus i have a staraptor named johnny (after my budgie who passed away) and whenever i send him out i say “here’s johnny” cliche but i love it
I think it's interesting that so many people used gen-4 pokemon in legends arceus. I, like i do with every new game, only used Pokemon introduced in that region. My team was (all hisuian) Samurott, Lilligant, Goodra, Arcanine, Braviary, and Zoroark, with an honorable mention to Kleavor. I didn't have a full team until I found my Zorua and Rufflet in the Alabaster Icelands, and while it didn't make the game too much more challenging, I bonded much more with my team because I spent a lot of time with each one instead of having a six pokemon at all times. I didn't even have two pokemon before I caught my Scyther in Eterna; this helped me forge more of a friendship with my Dewott.
Tinkaton is easily my favorite gen 8 Pokemon. It's so cute, fun, and BADASS. The one on my team (which I cleverly named Dominatrix) was a menace to society and helped me win many many battles
It's funny that you mention monotypes run. I actually did pokemon Scarlet with a mono ground type but during my playthrough I found a shiny Deino so I switched to a mono dragon type with my team being for a long time first stage pokémon so my final team is: Malibu the Garchomp Spectra the Dragapult Sordonia the shiny Hydreigon Squish the Goodra Lucie the Dragonair (I don't want to evolve it) And finally Backstab the Baxcalibur
My team for Scarlet is: - Meowscarada (objectively the best starter evo, not up for debate) - Talonflame (my favorite of the early route bird Pokemon) - Wugtrio (love Dugtrio, so having Wugtrio as a divergent evo is a cool concept) - Pawmot (wasn't originally going to use him, but the more I used it, the more I liked him) - Espeon (also wasn't going to use it, but I found a high leveled one in a cave early on and managed to capture it and use it from then on) - Grafaiai (didn't really like the design going into Scarlet but it's crazy how fast and strong it is, I feel like the design itself doesn't reflect how good it is) Didn't realize until after I put the team together, that I have mostly all physical attackers. I love this game for the sole reason that if you want a certain type of Pokemon, you usually can just go for it instead of slogging through 90% of the map just to get to the area. The freedom you have is refreshing. The variety in Pokemon is also great, and streamlining some things like Pokemon Boxes (which might've been in previous games idk) are a nice touch. It would be nice to have some options like Set/Shift and EXP Share on/off, but it's a pretty minor issue tbh. People overblow the performance issues it has, the choppy animations are actually pretty endearing and the framerate issues are not as common as everyone makes them out to be, and the bad ones only pertain to a few small areas in the game. This is the first Pokemon game I have played through and felt any desire to play since Black/White, so it says a lot. Especially after how much I disliked Sword/Shield. I wouldn't let any of the performance issues hold someone back from missing out on this game. As for the designs on the Pokemon this gen, a lot of them are good and makes sense. The starters and their evos are a step up from Gen 8. Quaquaval is the biggest disappointment of the starters for me, but the concept works at least. There are a few I don't think look great or in the Pokemon art style (ie: the Nacl line, Grafaiai, Tendemous, Gholdengo, Sandy Shocks, and the Tinkatink line) and some that are disappointing (Quaquaval, Oinkologne, Dundunsparce, Spidops, Pawmot, Flamigo, Dachsbun, and Gholdengo). I'm sure some people will disagree, but those are the only ones I felt weren't the best. That being said, there's a ton of really good designs like: Meowscarada, Lokix, Houndstone, Smoliv, Bellibolt, Orthworm, Baxcalibur, Klawf, Brambleghast (maybe in the minority), Roaring Moon, pretty much all of the Violet paradox Pokemon, the legendary ruin Pokemon, both Charcadet evos, Toedscruel, Kingambit, Clodsire, Annihilape, and the box art legendaries (Miraidon is better though). I can't really attest to a lot of the Pokemon storylines, since some of the games bored me before I could even really get half into it, but this one seems pretty cool. You have the three storylines that kind of converge into the crater and I thought the twist was actually really cool and oddly dark for Pokemon. Love the idea of paradox Pokemon, and it leaves the door open for adding DLC if they decide to. These are just my first impressions after playing the game for like 40-50 hours or so. Hope people don't take to those framerate issues and give the game a chance.
Coldsire was my goat for the whole play through. While trying to defeat the team star bases it would always be my last non left and would always come in clutch no matter what the situation was. I have not jumped around while getting badly beaten in a Pokémon game till clodsire survived against one of the car Pokémon.
I've recently been going through some pokemon games with one goal. Use mons that I've never gotten the chance to use before. Whether it's because getting it is too difficult, it's a version exclusive for the game I didn't get, or it can only be caught late game when I already have a team built. Though sometimes it's because I just didn't want to use it up to this point for one reason or another. Like Absol and Torkoal because I generally don't like using monoform pokemon, or Sceptile because I had only played Hoenn games twice up to that point and Sceptile was just my last choice. It's been fun getting to bond with new pokemon. That's also why I like Legends Arceus. I used so many pokemon throughout that game in an attempt to fill out their pokedex entrees.
My Violet party is: Kilowattrel, Talonflame, Altaria, Murkrow, Corviknight, Staraptor. Finally decided to do a Challenge playthrough and went with Flying monotype
My teams from the 3Ds to the Switch era: Alpha Sapphire: Sceptile, Swellow, Hariyama, Pikachu (Rockstar Cosplay), Sharpedo and Glalie Sun: Decidueye, Toucannon, Vikavolt, Lycanroc (Midday), Salazzle and Greninja (from the demo) Ultra Sun: Incineroar, Lycanroc (Dusk), Alolan Raichu, Hawlucha, Tsareena and Wishiwashi Shield: Rillaboom, Corviknight, Orbeetle, Dreadnaw, Toxtricity, Centiskorch, Grimmsnarl and Dragapult Violet: Quaquaval, Clodsire, Tinkaton, Ceruledge, Kilowattrel and Baxcalibur. Plan on rotating for the upcoming DLC and use Annihilape, Lokix and Gholdengo as well.
i think its so unique when people dont evolve some pokemon on their teams fully. its like their own little ash moment (bc half of ashs pokemon never evolved)
This is going to sound very LOL like, but when i saw that Penny used a Full Eeveelution team, i HAD to face her with an Eeveelution team of my own, and then i just got inspired by that to Finish the game with the same Eeveelution team with were all underleveled~ Flareon Vaporeon Sylveon Leafeon Glaceon Jolteon I didn't want to Box Meowscarada and Pawmot because i love those mons so much, but an opportunity just came to me.😊❤
I remember a video from years ago saying you wanted to do a mono type playthrough, I also did alpha sapphire with grass types only I almost had the exact same team just shiftry over cacturne :)
Play honestly find some of the glitches, hilarious in the scarlet and violet. One second you could jump on your Pokémon and you could be riding on air some you could be drowning in the water because it’s stuck in the jumping position.😂
I'm still deciding my team for my first playthrough of Violet and was pleasantly surprised by Lokix. The design and type combo are really fun and I just might keep it for my final team despite initially just training it to fill the Pokedex
I am proud to say I recently finished up a (mostly) mono-type BDSP with Poison types and beat Cynthia first try (did lose to Lucian once)! Some Pokemon I just transferred over like Koffing, Beedrill and Qwilfish. I loved the team and like you I rotated my Pokemon around. 🔵Roserade (Undertaker) Lv63 - Bertha MVP⛰️ 🔵Weezing (Puff Master) Lv61 - exploded on Garchomp to claim victory😈!!! 🔵Infernape (Spike) Lv61 - Flint MVP🔥 🔵Skuntank (Hamtaro) Lv61 - Lucian MVP🔮 🔵Aerodactyl Lv63 - Aaron MVP🦋 (forgot to nickname😅) 🔵Dustox (Maybee) Lv64 - set up Quiver Dance sweep on 4/6 of Cynthia's team (Milotic, Gastrodon, Lucario, Roserade), Bertha's Hippowdon Honorable Mentions: Tentacruel (Bubby) Lv56; Qwilfish Lv55; Beedrill (Scorpion) Lv57
Even though nobody asked, my team for gen 9 currently is Ducky the Quaquaval, Andromeda the Salazzle, Bork Doggo the Dachsbun, Coffee the Gogoat, Altair the Staraptor, and Austin Beeps the Magnezone Don’t ask why I named my Magnezone Austin Beeps-
@@BeanKally I KNEW BETTER THAN THAT WHEN NICKNAMING MY POKEMON! AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I DON'T NICKNAME MY POKEMON ANYMORE! SO THEREFORE, GENDERLESS POKEMON ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE NICKNAMES!
I also take 7 Pokémon in each region as I seen that was a little trend :) violet has been the easiest with the switching out mechanism I said well, what if we had 10 😬 I love this team though 🥰 great video!
Mono-Type Runs are the best! I recently replayed my favorite game, Black 2 as a mono-bug run. Leavanny Scolipede Heracross Galvantula Crustle (MVP) Volcarona By far my favorite run I've ever done!
Currently doing a mono-bug *nuzlocke of my own! Absolutely loving Crustle, and Leavanny and Galvantula are both some of my favorite mons from, well, any generation! *(Not a proper nuzlocke, but something similar that only has perma-death during important battles so I don't have to grind up another level 40 vespiquen every other battle lol)
The more I look at scarlet and violet pokemon, the more all I see is digimon... and I'm not disappointed, I see it as a plus, as.... well digimon, digital monsters, digimon are the champions!
As a prominent Pokémon/fakemon artist I think we’d all love a video of your thoughts on each gen 9 design!
Yes
AGREE
Yes.
yess!!
Has he worked for the Pokemon company??!
I love the synergy of Pokémon in your Moon team. Decidueye and Toucannon are angsty birds, Zoroark and Ninetales-A are both illusive foxes, and Wishiwashi and Passimian use teamwork as a tactic! :)
Now I’m picturing passimian teaching a school of wishiwashi how to play volley ball or something 😂
Ya got a point
IT'S ILLUSIONAL, NOT ILLUSIVE! AND NINETALES IS NOT ILLUSIVE!
You're supposed to have the form before the name, not after.
Day 2 of asking Ron to make fan made paradox pokemon
Day 1 of responding to this guy
Wow I really wasn't expecting that many likes
Day one of responses to this guy
Day 1 of responding to this guy
There is so many day comments I'm sure it'll go out of style soon
You not only sound like you could be a confident gym leader, but also an experienced champion of the many types. Passing down knowledge to those who are starting their journeys and the many pokemon friends who's helped along the way.
This was the day I learned people don't normally make teams that cover every weakness
I try to get a pokemon I like that can have different typed moves or is dual types so I can have more super effective hits lol
That Monotype run must have been so satisfying for your eyes given your favorite color 😂
It's so good seeing poketubers supporting eachother :)

Ngl, I appreciate the inclusion of (nearly) everyone's nicknames in this. There can be a lot of story in just a nickname, after all :D
Doing a monotype run sounds like such a fun idea to spice up a replay. Thank you!
I've been tempted to do this before, but I think the Grass type is the only one where I could find a substantial pool of pokemon that I actually like. Most games seem to be so limited in most types like fire, ghost, poison, electric, etc.

@@Amelia4111 *AWESOME. VERY COOL* 👍
Honestly, Mono type is my favourite way to play. It's so much fun and these days, I actually find team building MORE creative
I like that Ron has complicated meanings behind some of his names and then I’m like “this is Bloop the shiny Goomy”
Gotta say, my Ultra sun team is still my favourite team of them all. I got so attached to them thanks to Pokémon Refresh. I had Oliver the Decidueye, Havoc the Vikavolt, Horus the Hawlucha, Percy the Swampert ( Island scan), Grimlock the Tyrantrum and Azula the Salazzle.

Shocked at how similar our SV teams are- I used also used Meowscarada, Ceruledge, Garganacl, Tinkaton, and Lokix on my team!

Man, building teams in a Pokemon game is so much fun.

Similar rule here, needing all alphas. I also limited myself to only catching grass types, so it added an extra challenge to getting the ranks in the dex that I needed. Had to perfect a lot of entries.
Small shoutout to single mon runs. I’ve been attempting to do a challenge run of every game where Sableye shows up. Named the boy Garlic and used him to destroy Ruby a few years ago.
Also just want to throw in my support for the Tinka line. I found mine with having no idea what she was, and I basically fell in love with this violent crafting gremlin at first sight. I named mine Hatsume (after the inventor in MHA, Mei Hatsume) and she quickly became my strongest mon. Largely because I used her for catching. She learned Thunder Wave and was able to tank attacks really well.
The moment i saw Tinkaton and its evolution line my mind just said to me: this is basically the "let me smash" meme but in pokemon form. XD
I don’t normally click on these kind of videos, but I’m so glad I did! I have forgotten how great of a RUclipsr you are! Thank you!!
I wasn't super excited for Paldean Wooper, but Clodsire is such a wonderful, goofy lump. That it has actually proven to be such a useful team member is a great bonus.
Love the new format for this also this is, in general, fantastic!

We don't use the word it's as a pronoun if there's an apostrophe in it.
I always do one monotype run of all games and because of that bug types are now recognised as gods in many regions
I find it hilarious that he finds these intriquite cool and smart names for his pokemon, and meanwhile I called my Paldean Wooper ''Pooper'' LMAO

At first I was disappointed that Sprigatito became bipedal for both evolutions, but having seen the other starter evolutions, I am happy with my decision to go with it. The other two are fine in their own way, but Meowscarada vibes with me the best.
DO NOT LEAVE OFF THE D IN CLODSIRE!
@@Amelia4111 whoops. Did not notice that. Fixed it. Thanks.
Loved this video indeed! I love learning about people's teams and nicknames 😍 and actually it is such a cool idea to try for a monotype run! I believe I'll try that sometime
I've run a mono-grass team in a Pokémon Black playthrough and let's just say it is quite a challenge! Much more than a nuzzlocke (but that may be due to grass being weak to many and super effective against only a few Unovan gym leaders...)
I ran mono-Grass in Black 2. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised at how much work my Sawsbuck put in. Normal STAB with Fighting coverage may not be all that uncommon but with Horn Leech as added bulk, he was easily the ace on my team, while my poor Serperior lagged behind hard until I was able to pivot him into a physically-oriented Coil build.
I love these teams, I definitely understand why you loved them and used them.
I laughed way more than I should have when you mentioned Copter 💀💀💀
The fact that like you do the helicopter song with a yamega is hilarious like i cant unhear you doing that now 😂😂
I love all the teams! My favorite part of Pokémon is probably teambuilding so I really enjoy these videos! I never do challenge runs but after this I might do a pkmn black grass mono run
Please do a nuzlocke of any gen and create past/future/new regional variants of the Pokémon that were vital to your success. It would be so cool!
I literally thought, "YES he is doing the thing where he edits the pokemon pictures like they are standing as a group!" I've watched that "Which region has the best pokemon of each type" video many times, and a big reason is how pretty it is.
Also, I have finally realized I am a full on Tinkaton stan. I grew to really like the evolution line. And only recently found out other people like it. Now, whenever someone talks about the new pokemon. I NEED to know what they think of Tinkaton. It's 100% one of my favorite new pokemon.
i’m glad i’m not the only one who calls out their pokemon when they send them out lmao.
in legends arceus i have a staraptor named johnny (after my budgie who passed away) and whenever i send him out i say “here’s johnny” cliche but i love it
I think it's interesting that so many people used gen-4 pokemon in legends arceus. I, like i do with every new game, only used Pokemon introduced in that region. My team was (all hisuian) Samurott, Lilligant, Goodra, Arcanine, Braviary, and Zoroark, with an honorable mention to Kleavor. I didn't have a full team until I found my Zorua and Rufflet in the Alabaster Icelands, and while it didn't make the game too much more challenging, I bonded much more with my team because I spent a lot of time with each one instead of having a six pokemon at all times. I didn't even have two pokemon before I caught my Scyther in Eterna; this helped me forge more of a friendship with my Dewott.
THERE SHOULD BE 3 L'S IN LILLIGANT! AND RUFFLET DOES NOT END WITH 2 T'S!
@@Amelia4111 Oh oop. one minute
@@Amelia4111 Okay all better :)
“Sasori, my man”
I see what you did there and I love it
Love your videos Ron, always impressed with your knowledge of etymology, cultures and history. Keep it up champ!
Tinkaton is easily my favorite gen 8 Pokemon. It's so cute, fun, and BADASS. The one on my team (which I cleverly named Dominatrix) was a menace to society and helped me win many many battles
in my first playthrough, I had almost the exact same platinum team. The only difference is that I used a jolteon instead of Luxray.
Thought of a cool name to design a pokemon around. Misteerie
Great name!
@@lassenker07 THANKS!🤗
Can’t express how EXCITED I was to see this in my subscriptions
I didn’t know Pokémon black 2 was Ron’s favorite Pokémon game! Awesome it’s easily my favorite Pokémon too
It's funny that you mention monotypes run. I actually did pokemon Scarlet with a mono ground type but during my playthrough I found a shiny Deino so I switched to a mono dragon type with my team being for a long time first stage pokémon so my final team is:
Malibu the Garchomp
Spectra the Dragapult
Sordonia the shiny Hydreigon
Squish the Goodra
Lucie the Dragonair (I don't want to evolve it)
And finally Backstab the Baxcalibur
Another historical video since Ron only makes these videos when a new Pokémon game come out
My team for Scarlet is:
- Meowscarada (objectively the best starter evo, not up for debate)
- Talonflame (my favorite of the early route bird Pokemon)
- Wugtrio (love Dugtrio, so having Wugtrio as a divergent evo is a cool concept)
- Pawmot (wasn't originally going to use him, but the more I used it, the more I liked him)
- Espeon (also wasn't going to use it, but I found a high leveled one in a cave early on and managed to capture it and use it from then on)
- Grafaiai (didn't really like the design going into Scarlet but it's crazy how fast and strong it is, I feel like the design itself doesn't reflect how good it is)
Didn't realize until after I put the team together, that I have mostly all physical attackers.
I love this game for the sole reason that if you want a certain type of Pokemon, you usually can just go for it instead of slogging through 90% of the map just to get to the area. The freedom you have is refreshing. The variety in Pokemon is also great, and streamlining some things like Pokemon Boxes (which might've been in previous games idk) are a nice touch. It would be nice to have some options like Set/Shift and EXP Share on/off, but it's a pretty minor issue tbh. People overblow the performance issues it has, the choppy animations are actually pretty endearing and the framerate issues are not as common as everyone makes them out to be, and the bad ones only pertain to a few small areas in the game. This is the first Pokemon game I have played through and felt any desire to play since Black/White, so it says a lot. Especially after how much I disliked Sword/Shield. I wouldn't let any of the performance issues hold someone back from missing out on this game.
As for the designs on the Pokemon this gen, a lot of them are good and makes sense. The starters and their evos are a step up from Gen 8. Quaquaval is the biggest disappointment of the starters for me, but the concept works at least. There are a few I don't think look great or in the Pokemon art style (ie: the Nacl line, Grafaiai, Tendemous, Gholdengo, Sandy Shocks, and the Tinkatink line) and some that are disappointing (Quaquaval, Oinkologne, Dundunsparce, Spidops, Pawmot, Flamigo, Dachsbun, and Gholdengo). I'm sure some people will disagree, but those are the only ones I felt weren't the best. That being said, there's a ton of really good designs like: Meowscarada, Lokix, Houndstone, Smoliv, Bellibolt, Orthworm, Baxcalibur, Klawf, Brambleghast (maybe in the minority), Roaring Moon, pretty much all of the Violet paradox Pokemon, the legendary ruin Pokemon, both Charcadet evos, Toedscruel, Kingambit, Clodsire, Annihilape, and the box art legendaries (Miraidon is better though).
I can't really attest to a lot of the Pokemon storylines, since some of the games bored me before I could even really get half into it, but this one seems pretty cool. You have the three storylines that kind of converge into the crater and I thought the twist was actually really cool and oddly dark for Pokemon. Love the idea of paradox Pokemon, and it leaves the door open for adding DLC if they decide to.
These are just my first impressions after playing the game for like 40-50 hours or so. Hope people don't take to those framerate issues and give the game a chance.

Bro, in BDSP, my 2 MVPs were
*Gine* (named after Son Goku's mom) the Infernape and *Dusk* (Since Dustox sounds like Dusk) the Dustox
the golem folk story reference made me sooo happy :D
Tropius is such an awesome pokemon. Really under appreciated
Coldsire was my goat for the whole play through. While trying to defeat the team star bases it would always be my last non left and would always come in clutch no matter what the situation was. I have not jumped around while getting badly beaten in a Pokémon game till clodsire survived against one of the car Pokémon.

DILLYDOO IS BACK!
I've recently been going through some pokemon games with one goal. Use mons that I've never gotten the chance to use before. Whether it's because getting it is too difficult, it's a version exclusive for the game I didn't get, or it can only be caught late game when I already have a team built. Though sometimes it's because I just didn't want to use it up to this point for one reason or another. Like Absol and Torkoal because I generally don't like using monoform pokemon, or Sceptile because I had only played Hoenn games twice up to that point and Sceptile was just my last choice. It's been fun getting to bond with new pokemon. That's also why I like Legends Arceus. I used so many pokemon throughout that game in an attempt to fill out their pokedex entrees.
My Violet party is: Kilowattrel, Talonflame, Altaria, Murkrow, Corviknight, Staraptor. Finally decided to do a Challenge playthrough and went with Flying monotype
2:21 THANK YOU!
My teams from the 3Ds to the Switch era:
Alpha Sapphire: Sceptile, Swellow, Hariyama, Pikachu (Rockstar Cosplay), Sharpedo and Glalie
Sun: Decidueye, Toucannon, Vikavolt, Lycanroc (Midday), Salazzle and Greninja (from the demo)
Ultra Sun: Incineroar, Lycanroc (Dusk), Alolan Raichu, Hawlucha, Tsareena and Wishiwashi
Shield: Rillaboom, Corviknight, Orbeetle, Dreadnaw, Toxtricity, Centiskorch, Grimmsnarl and Dragapult
Violet: Quaquaval, Clodsire, Tinkaton, Ceruledge, Kilowattrel and Baxcalibur.
Plan on rotating for the upcoming DLC and use Annihilape, Lokix and Gholdengo as well.
There should be only one A in Drednaw!
10:28 helicopter helicopter 😭
I only used five mons during my violet play through.That way, I could save a spot for Miraidon when he got better.
I like the name of his Yanmega copter since when he revealed the reason I replayed this so many times
Nice video!🙌🏾like your teams a lot!
THE HELICOPTER BIT GOT ME 💀
Stop typing in all caps! And also, the U in Decidueye should be after the first 2 D's!
@@Amelia4111Are you delusional? Where is Decidueye? And I take one look at any of your other comments and you're typing in all caps lmao

7:59 ma man sasori
Heyy! I just came back to the channel! I’m happy to be back😉
i think its so unique when people dont evolve some pokemon on their teams fully. its like their own little ash moment (bc half of ashs pokemon never evolved)
This is going to sound very LOL like, but when i saw that Penny used a Full Eeveelution team, i HAD to face her with an Eeveelution team of my own, and then i just got inspired by that to Finish the game with the same Eeveelution team with were all underleveled~
Flareon
Vaporeon
Sylveon
Leafeon
Glaceon
Jolteon
I didn't want to Box Meowscarada and Pawmot because i love those mons so much, but an opportunity just came to me.😊❤
We almost had the same team in SV. Mine was Meowscarada, Clodsire, Pawmot, Tinkaton, Ceruledge, and Farigiraf.
Awesome Pokemon you Gotten It looks Pretty Good Amazing names
8:03 the deidara reference 👀👀
I am so beyond excited for the video on the Scarlet/Violet ost
I think my favourite team I raised is my Scarlet team; consisting of Meowscarada, Lycanroc (Midnight), Lucario, Zoroark, Goodra and Cyclizar.
7:59 Dude I also called my Drapion Sasori
8:45 why did I hear this as “it was a character moment”
I remember a video from years ago saying you wanted to do a mono type playthrough, I also did alpha sapphire with grass types only I almost had the exact same team just shiftry over cacturne :)
2:26 “Why doesn’t everybody use a Honchkrow?”
Because you actually can’t find Murkrow anywhere in Platinum, sadly
Play honestly find some of the glitches, hilarious in the scarlet and violet. One second you could jump on your Pokémon and you could be riding on air some you could be drowning in the water because it’s stuck in the jumping position.😂
Gotta love that your hisuian goodra was named gooblina - I named my little guy Gooby! it was an extra gentle giant since i caught an alpha sligoo ❤
THERE SHOULD BE 2 G'S IN SLIGGOO!
@@Amelia4111 Bruh 💀
@@Croagvnk YOU SHOULD *NEVER* CALL A GIRL BRUH! THAT'S A MALE ONLY TERM!
I'm still deciding my team for my first playthrough of Violet and was pleasantly surprised by Lokix. The design and type combo are really fun and I just might keep it for my final team despite initially just training it to fill the Pokedex
Lokix is so cool, and I’m relieved it’s not bad. That type combo is so hype, definitely joining the ranks of awesome bug types
the thing I ex ited for the most is the music video for the new game
Before gen 9 luxray was my fav pokemon, but now it is Meowscarda
*THERE SHOULD BE 3 A'S IN MEOWSCARADA!*
I encountered an Axew yesterday and it had a Jolly nature, so happy
8:19 i love that idea
Reminds me of Grunty Boi from MandJTV
I love the focus on fun. I tried a mono run before not the best but it was fun.
You're really good with nicknames lol
I am proud to say I recently finished up a (mostly) mono-type BDSP with Poison types and beat Cynthia first try (did lose to Lucian once)! Some Pokemon I just transferred over like Koffing, Beedrill and Qwilfish. I loved the team and like you I rotated my Pokemon around.
🔵Roserade (Undertaker) Lv63 - Bertha MVP⛰️
🔵Weezing (Puff Master) Lv61 - exploded on Garchomp to claim victory😈!!!
🔵Infernape (Spike) Lv61 - Flint MVP🔥
🔵Skuntank (Hamtaro) Lv61 - Lucian MVP🔮
🔵Aerodactyl Lv63 - Aaron MVP🦋 (forgot to nickname😅)
🔵Dustox (Maybee) Lv64 - set up Quiver Dance sweep on 4/6 of Cynthia's team (Milotic, Gastrodon, Lucario, Roserade), Bertha's Hippowdon
Honorable Mentions: Tentacruel (Bubby) Lv56; Qwilfish Lv55; Beedrill (Scorpion) Lv57
Even though nobody asked, my team for gen 9 currently is Ducky the Quaquaval, Andromeda the Salazzle, Bork Doggo the Dachsbun, Coffee the Gogoat, Altair the Staraptor, and Austin Beeps the Magnezone
Don’t ask why I named my Magnezone Austin Beeps-
Magnezone cannot have a nickname if it's genderless!
@@Amelia4111 why not?
@@BeanKally I KNEW BETTER THAN THAT WHEN NICKNAMING MY POKEMON! AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I DON'T NICKNAME MY POKEMON ANYMORE! SO THEREFORE, GENDERLESS POKEMON ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE NICKNAMES!
@Amelia4111Bro is actually delusional lol
I don’t understand the appeal, but I’m glad you have people that like these videos!
I also take 7 Pokémon in each region as I seen that was a little trend :) violet has been the easiest with the switching out mechanism I said well, what if we had 10 😬 I love this team though 🥰 great video!
The Legend of Korra reference made me so happy and idk why😭
Mono-Type Runs are the best!
I recently replayed my favorite game, Black 2 as a mono-bug run.
Leavanny
Scolipede
Heracross
Galvantula
Crustle (MVP)
Volcarona
By far my favorite run I've ever done!
Currently doing a mono-bug *nuzlocke of my own! Absolutely loving Crustle, and Leavanny and Galvantula are both some of my favorite mons from, well, any generation!
*(Not a proper nuzlocke, but something similar that only has perma-death during important battles so I don't have to grind up another level 40 vespiquen every other battle lol)
Gen V is definitely the best generation to do a Bug-type monolocke (other than maybe Gen VII).
I might do a mono-ghost run or a psychic run on violet
Awesome pokemon They all look awesome Around you
My Team for Violet is Lokix (Tera Dragon), Lycanroc Midnight (Tera Psychic), Tinkaton, Gardevoir (Tera Fire), Meowscarada and Houndstone (Tera Dark)
10:24 the best thing i ever seen today
The more I look at scarlet and violet pokemon, the more all I see is digimon... and I'm not disappointed, I see it as a plus, as.... well digimon, digital monsters, digimon are the champions!
