I'm a really big fan of this new concept where you HAVE to catch the first shiny you see that applies to the letter, no matter how bad it is. It's a great change-up from the usual "just catch the strongest thing you can find but you can take your time looking for a certain Pokemon".
Every time I see these mods of Pokémon Sword & Shield, where Shiny Pokémon are visible, it makes me wish that the actual games had visible Shiny Pokémon in the hub world.
Yeah it was just dumb tbh. I say as someone who REALLY wanted a shiny galarian zig soon as possible and spent hours making sure I entered a battle with every zig that spawned. Still wish shinies in Scarlet and Violet also had a sparkle effect when roaming bc they're so easy to miss with how many Pokemon spawn
@@RainbyFIN And it's especially egregious when the Let's Go games, both of which were released a year before Sword and Shield were released, had Pokémon in the overworld, including Shiny Pokémon.
That's giving Sintendo too much credit to be able to do anything without stabbing themselves in the foot multiple times per nanosecond and then blaming the fans.

Getting some serious flashbacks from "Catch The Right Size Pokémon to Win" (JMC S2) with Mikey winning the challenge because of numerous ties, but also with "We Pick Random Legendaries and Race to Find Them" (JMC S1) where John figured Mikey has an Arceus because Mikey slipped referencing its nickname (Godfish) with how John figured Mikey caught a Heatran just with the laugh.
2:54 As soon as he said he didn't find a Pokemon with a B name my mind immediately went "He's getting a Basculin" Literally 5 seconds after that thought 😂😂
I remember at one point I was like "Oh hey, the future paradox names might be stupid, but there's more I options for the JMC" and now this challenge was made in Galar again, whoops
It would be cool if y'all did one of these but did the base stat totals as cumulative, like after the A round Michael is up by 55 points, and then whoever catches the most base stat points throughout the whole alphabet wins
The result would still be the same, except it'd be a complete blowout. Cumulatively, Mikey held the lead for the entire alphabet (John almost caught up during J, where after that round, Mikey only led by 18 points) and ended up with an 872 point lead by the end. Tied rounds don't help with comebacks when using a cumulative scoring (tiebreakers gave John the lead midway in the actual video), while overkill wins (stuff like Diancie vs. Duskull or Palkia vs. Pyukumuku, which Mikey got more of) matter a lot more using a cumulative score.
Lately I've been noticing that Mikey likes more things alike to me than just pokemon, the Zelda shirt, and the fairy tail cosplay, glad to enjoy the content of fellow nerds.
0:20 wait what the hell, they using the Abroad in Japan Journey Across Japan intro song that took me by surprise hahaha, I know it ain't a copyright thing but it's nice to hear them use it, kinda like this series right now since it's a Journey Across the Pokemon World
you could do a wheel with all of the numbers for the base stat totals and then when they spin whoever gets it has 3 points but if not whoever closer 1 point
I like the added caveat of having to catch the shiny Pokémon of the letter they’re on regardless of whether that’s the one they wanted. It adds some chaos.
I actually got an ad about LEGO Fortnite about building the Tilted Towers just as this moment happened. They weren't lying, those towers really were "tilted"!
I like to think that the only reason this video contained "Shiny" is solely because Mikey didn't want John to catch another shiny few minutes into the video to flex on him
Love the video and the idea that it has to be the FIRST you see of that letter. One caviat though; instead of them having to push the point to the next round, if they grab the same mon it would make more sense to give the point to the person who snagged it first, no?

not if I approach with my BLUGIA
I wanted to challenge Leon as well, but I caught the Flugia and had to re-schedule our match.

We did not. You're confusing it with a "Legends" game that has yet to release.

I love that both John Michaels gave us some good fake out performances this battle~
Hey there ya little toad....why don't you hippity hop for me 😂 and it DID!
That was so cute
17:41 I love the way John was just silent and looked down and they went to the next round without saying anything else😂

Thank you 😊

Love to see our general Slowbro in Galar promoting our SlowArmy with his shiny glamour.
2:54
As soon as he said he didn't find a Pokemon with a B name my mind immediately went
"He's getting a Basculin"
Literally 5 seconds after that thought 😂😂
John bamboozling Mikey on the B was great lmao
Michael’s laugh is so cute. John humors Mikey! I love seeing the smiles. It’s all in good fun!
All hail the slowbro!!😂
I thought this was coming tomorrow but this is way better
It was supposed to upload yesterday but due to technical difficulties it was uploaded today instead
I remember at one point I was like "Oh hey, the future paradox names might be stupid, but there's more I options for the JMC" and now this challenge was made in Galar again, whoops
Can't believe that John would get shiny so often but the one time they mattered he lost to Michael 😂
6:20 He's standing there... MENACINGLY!
28:31 both urshifu and Mikey celebrated the same way
I just love how Micheal uses the usual gallade strategy while John has shiny Feesh🐠
The Abroad in Japan music keeps throwing me for a loop! Great choice though.
Oh good, I wasn't the only one. I legit checked, if I had another tab open.
Gotta love that it was so close, and that what gave John the lead earlier was his undoing in the end.
26:39 the joke simply writes itself
They focus blasted the second Stakataka

31:20 Xurkitree was my first ever shiny so I’m really happy John and Mikey caught it :D
George, George, George of the jungle! WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!!!
19:20 I love that Mikey's favorite mythical is Marshadow, cause Marshadow is my favorite Pokemon!
They're my favourite too!
I like it when Mikey wins, especially after his situation with the Gen 3 Randomizer nuzlocke he's doing with John. He needed the good luck lol.
😂
Mikey losing his absolute mind is my favorite thing to watch🎉
3:29 the way he tricked him is so funny 😂😂
I think if John’s Zygarde had Power Construct, it should’ve counted as its 100% forme
Fitting end to this one, I'm hoping it stays at least close the majority of the season. So much more fun that way!
9:47 LET'S GOOOOO BABY! FLAPPLE NEVER LOOSES!!!!!
Lucky you’re favourite is getting considered ,
( but seriously congrats on Michel getting you’re Pokémon )
22:56 NEVER-MIND I’LL TAKE WHAT I CAN!

Oh my gosh dude, Flapple is my favorite Pokémon. Please tell me it’s yours too, I’ve never met another
@@EpicRandomness555 of course it is! And I've never met another either!

Nice.
Wow this was crazy for MandJTV. I'll be ok with either winning the john micheal cup. ❤
22:25 the realization got me dead 💀
Pm7 growing a beard is a thing we needed but didn't deserve. The beard suits Michael as well
We had both 6-9 and also 9-11 scores in this video 😂
“6-9” ???
lumping those two together is CRAZY
So far, these rounds have been amazing. Not just the content, but how close the points have been

Glad to see Mikey’s luck turning around after all these metronome battles
33:51 complete form has 708 (which I didn't know)
So at first I was thinking of a possible tie again but than I was like oooh wait it's 50%
Congrats Mikey that was so clutch!
I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE ALOLA VERSION!!!!!!!
I like how big the mons are. I don’t know what it is but it makes the neurons activate.
Mikey should do a Pokémon x and y nuzlocke, but he can only use Pokémon TCG types 😂
the fact that Mikey tied the M round with my favourite pokemon (and his fav mythical apparently yippee) made me so excited
28:32 when mom says yes to McDonald’s
Heck yes!!
"And he's just standing atop the water like a giant......Jesus?"😂😂😂
Mikey finding a whole ahh kyogre: "I think its pretty decent"
Just the confusion on John's face when he wasn't sure if that basculin was shiny, and the pain when it was.
If I'm not mistaken, the music at 2:11 is the Jortstorm instrumental
WHY ISNT THIS MORE POPULAR
JORTSTORM! JORTSTORMS COMING TONIGHT! JORTSTORM! ITS A CATEGORY FIVE!
J O R T S T O R M
I FUCKING KNEW IT
THE THING IS, ITS A POPULAR NON-COPYRIGHT BEAT THAT SLIME CHOSE FOR JORT STORM SO YOU CAN JUST FIND IT EVERYWHERE
3:26-3:31 had me dying. John actually tricking Mikey for a second was hilarious. If John actually got Beartic he would have won.
I'm glad I get to watch a video while i feel really sick ^^ a nice thing to bring up my spirits.
Congrats, Mikey! What a way to pull the win literally at the last second! John fought a good match. I was worried you wouldn't pull through.
9:42 Flapple!!!! My favorite boi got screen time!!!

Stakataka: Why yes, in this times I want some sandwiches
"I can't go to Paldea!!"
The way John confidently proclaimed he caught a Beartic was awesome
Edit: And he did it again with Dragapult lmao 😂

Actual points: Mikey wins 14-12

But yes youre cracked
