Teal Mask Pokémon Meme Review

If someone told me they watch this only for the intros, I would not blame them. That is the best 1 object juggling I've ever seen!

Silver only gets his Crobat after Lance beats him and he realises he's raising his Pokémon wrong. It's literally a part of the story

I've always explained Cyrus' Crobat as having loved him enough to evolve even though that love and trust isn't reciprocated. If you think about it, it just makes Cyrus EVEN MORE evil and pathetic.

I like to think Cyrus just took good care of his Pokémon. Like emotionally unavailable but made sure they were well kept. And so his Pokémon are doing their best to keep him well kept.

Honestly, the shift to the slideshow instead of just the subreddit has upgraded the quality of these videos so much. Not only that, but it allows us to have even longer ASPITPIAY videos!

A funny explanation as to how Cyrus has a Crobat is all of the stat boosting drugs like Carbos raise friendship. Cyrus just probably got his Golbat loaded on the stuff at night, it evolved, and he was just like “this is…acceptable.”

Personally, I bought Violet because I honestly like the purple vibe more than the orange vibe of the outfits and menus. It’s just more aesthetically pleasing to me. Plus, I like Violet’s Pokémon more as well.

It's so weird to me that Toxel is considered a baby Pokemon when most of them were left back in Gen 4.

To be fair about the Smash one, I think it would rapidly become "1 of every Pokemon VS Kirby"

Michael just abusing Mighty as an intro is so funny for no reason

Justice for jumpluff! She was amazing on my violet playthrough. Admittedly I was surprised that was the case but still

I'm so happy that Mikey started letting Katey pick out posts. Was having a read through the subreddits rules and honestly I think this series would have died without the slideshow

Silver's Crobat is more used as a show of his character development and his mellowing out. Cyrus does have some sympathetic traits looking into his backstory, and he was friends with Rotom in the past (all but confirmed in Masters), so perhaps his Crobat is more of a sign of those hidden sympathetic traits, that he isn't purely evil, and potentially even treats his Pokémon decently (or at the very least, isn't abusive to them). (I feel like they were building up to a redemption story with Cyrus, given how they established the sympathetic motive and past friendship with Rotom, how they redeemed him in two official manga, his final dialogue asking the player if things could happen different for him had he met them sooner in Ultra, and even having Cynthia state she thinks he can change in Masters, but then we got BDSP instead and that all went that out the bloody window.)

There definitely needs to be a Geeta rematch where she leads with Glimmora and ends with Kingambit

I actually have a couple friends who went Violet because the don't like the legs on Koraidon. They either prefer hover bike legendary or the futuristic Pokemon in general. I personally would have gone with violet for the name but Scarlett for the included pokemon.

20:30 the main reason I chose Violet (I was really on the fence and this was a huge deciding factor) was the fact that Miraidon whilst riding on it, had wheels, that it used, that was what made me immediately choose Violet

It seems as if we’ve found out Cave Form Mighty’s origin story. It seems like it was because he was the only Mighty that got treated poorly by Mikey, as you could see in that intro. That’s why he resorted to residing in caves, away from any part of Mikey’s world. Very interesting. He still looks very cute though. I hope him and his brethren get some much more fit parents for them. 🥺

The thumbnail is uncanny. When I first saw Dipplin I called it Dripplin and then immediately caught a shiny Applin, named it Dripplin leveled it to 100 iv and ev trained it so I see and use a shiny Dipplin as soon as possible.

Thank you for explaining the physics of ties. That's gotta be my biggest pet peeve with those tie memes. Like, why would you ever think anyone would wear a tie tucked directly under their chin unless their name is Big Ed?

I actually like how much he likes Team Sky OCs, like they just.. seem to appear in the slideshow often among comics and the like! It’s a really fun community dynamic, honestly, really encouraging fans to keep drawing their own fanart and stuff, really nice! He also lets in OCs into Team Sky based off of style and character design! I kinda wanna get Reddit again just so I can be a part of things, y’know? Make an OC who’s team has some gimmick that makes them eligible for Team Sky, draw comics of who of the main evil team leaders is most likely to join Team Sky based off of number of eligible Pokemon and stuff (spoiler alert, it’s Cyrus, with a grand total of 3, with Gyrados, Crobat, and Honchkrow, where as all of the others have 1-2. Cyrus also happens to be one of the only evil team leaders who I can somewhat write properly and ‘in character’, which is fun, unfortunately I cannot draw him for the life of me without making his forehead look twice as big as it already is)
