      Mystic... Casuals... Valor... Instinct. Long ago, the four teams lived together primarily hating dirty casuals. Then everything changed when the Valor idiots attacked. Only Instinct and Mystic, masters of all of the forums, could stop them. But when the world needed them most, they vanished. A few bugged patches passed and the filthy casuals discovered a new wave of Mystic/Instinct teams on forums. And although their Valor suppressing skills are great, they still have a lot to learn before they're ready to save anyone from team Valor. But we must believe they can save the world.

      every bird has a means to win against the other birds except moltres vs zapdos. Zapdos can just lightning anyone and moltres can burn articuno. But articuno can activate quick claw and use sheer cold to kill ANY pokemon without taking damage (with some luck). and yes I REALLY pissed some friends of mine of with some hax luck like this ;D

      I can see what you're saying. Since Zapdos is Electric type, it is super effective against both birds. And Zapdos is already Electric so if someone tries to kill it with lightning, it will be neutralized(Electric is ineffective against Electric, and Electric>Flying)

      I'm in team Instinct too, because it's all about improvising, and trusting your instincts. I'm an optimistic person who always thinks that everything will be alright if you just don't worry about it. The second reason why I chose team Instinct is that I really like the color yellow, and my favourite pokemon type is electric. I mean, my favourite pokemons is Raikou, Pikachu, and Zapdos. We may be a small team, but we're a strong one, and we're just not enough people to prove it.

    This is really interesting. I remember when picking I was actively trying to avoid picking due to color and outside influences, but I knew I wasn't sure how I actually fit into any of the teams, so I decided if I wanted to work on myself, I wanted to work on trusting my instinct more, so I picked Team Instinct. Not sure if that's weird but I'm enjoying it. I also never played Pokemon previously so...:/ I enjoy PGo though.

      Each team could also tie in with the birds and the elements they represent, like fire definitely fits the fundamentals or valor, ice fits mystic well, and electric would fit instinct the most. I am pretty sure the birds were no accident with the types they represented and he could already say the same exact things for why people favor each bird type, making it redundant.

    Have we forgotten about all the memes associated with team instinct? Any time anyone I know says "Team Instinct", someone dabs. My TEACHERS dab. This is why I'm team instinct. Another reason would be people playing the game not wanting to get into conflict. There's a mystic/valor war, so I just moved on to the other team and loved the meme. (Haha it rhymed!)

    i personally chose Mystic. I love mystic things, Articuno is mah fav of le legendary birbs, and Blue is a close second behind purple, my fav color. i did think about the others but ultimately went for Mystic for my own reasons, not thanks to the middle thing and personality. many say im extroverted, though i personally think thats cause of my stupid ADHD.

      Articuno is not water. Moltres is part flying and thats what makes electric super effective. It isnt super effective to fire. And electrics only weakness is ground. But for Zapdos. It isnt effective, it is resistant in real games because part flying type. So its weak to rock and ice.

    As an INTP instinct member, this hit close to home. I chose Instinct because both of the other teams seemed too extreme and I just wanted to have fun and play by instinct and without having to plan everything I was doing and instead just playing and enjoying the game. Its one of the reasons I had stopped playing as much because everyone else I was meeting, none of which were Instinct members, were too serious about the game and about winning. I really don't care about winning and care more about if I had fun while playing.
    Hilarious enough I'm a Slytherin so I guess I would really belong with Team Rocket. 😂

    While my favorite color is green, blue comes in at a very close second. I consider myself pretty introverted, and I'm definitely the intellectual type.

    I picked team Valor, cause Candela is a cutie! :P

      with the "Team" reference, it seems to me that Niantic and Pokemon Company wanted to include this concept, like how aqua and magma competed. But if so, I'm certain the reason why we dont HAVE team rocket and the others, and the team system we do have, is because the developers didn't want to encourage people to take "team rocket" so seriously or at least have people use that as an excuse for criminal activity.
      XD but i love the idea that we're a bunch of introverted terrorists nerdily and harmlessly competing in gang wars. this i can get behind.

    -Battled Raichus without evolving 'in the name of all Pikachus' (the underdog)
    - sometimes improvises mid-battle against stronger opponents especially legendaries (perceiving)
    - The well-known pokemon who's never wanted to be in a pokeball, doesn't always do what Ash told him to like all other pokemon and let's not forget about their shocking first meeting (pokemon individuality and free will)
    And everyone can now see why team rocket still have eyes for him specifically

  • @92pkg
    @92pkg 3 года назад +1

    I'm an team instinct member and picked it the day it was released, but I honestly picked this team ONLY because the emblem was Zaptos and here is why.
    Back in the day when I played the old pokemon red on my gameboy, I would always catch the three legendary birds in each game I played, but out of these three only Zaptos would make it to my team. This was because I already had better fire Pokémon with better movepool from before and there was no need for a ice pokemon. But having a combined lightning and flying pokemon was very efficient and it's stats was also good. So for me it was like, do I choose the team which represent Moltres which I always thought was worse than Charizard, do I choose team that represent Articuno which was which was the pokemon that I never needed, or do I choose the team representing Zaptos which I always used to have in my party back in my childhood?
    I honestly choose Team Instinct because it had the most nostalgic symbol from my childhood.

    The pokemaniacs go Instinct because it really is the best team.
    first reason:
    Zapdos is unarguably the best out of all of the 3 birds being ranked in OU while Moltres is barely UU and Articuno is actually in the lowest tier possible due to its shitty typing.
    Second reason:
    Hatching Pokemon is what really determines their strength.
    Breeding Pokemon to get a 5IV or 6IV one is something only professional nolifers like us do to play competetive Pokemon.
    .
    third reason:
    Memes are 5 times better in this faction.

    10:54 That's happened to me, except it was with one of my videos and it blew up with hatred just because they didn't see the "prank" part in my video title, and now I'm somewhat doubting that I'll ever be appreciated and/or accepted for who I am and that I'm hated by everyone because of my video. It's given me extremely low self-esteem, which is why I haven't posted a video in a while even though I said I was going to, and I'm even thinking of stopping posting RUclips videos (until I become confident in myself again, not that I ever was).

    My dog chose gray. He was thinking about gray because of how it fit his outgoing personality, but then gray spoke to his spontaneity. In the end, he chose the Girl in Gray, because he thought she was holding a treat. She wasn't.

    I just picked Instinct because of Zapdos. But it's a true fact that I'm a lot more chilled out about the game than most of the people I know.

    I chose mystic because it's blue and I was on resistance (blue team) in ingress.

    I picked valor because i just knew everyone around me would pick mystic when we first started playing. I thought it be smarter since actually getting into a gym was going to be a lot harder when everybody around me is playing for the same team. Turned out that I was right but everything on this video suggest that I should’ve picked mystic which would’ve been my first pick if it wasn’t for the fact that I mentioned
