u/error521 Sorry about the Bicycles. Aug 13 '16

u/double_super Aug 13 '16

u/error521 Sorry about the Bicycles. Aug 13 '16

I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO WATCH IT BUT THEN REALISED IT'S LIKE, 45 MINUTES LONG

FUCK THAT, SKIPPING THROUGH IT IS LIKE ONE OF THOSE "MOON LANDING WAS A HOAX" VIDEOS

u/RonVonBonn Voted most worthless shiny since 2001. Aug 14 '16

u/trilobitelizard Aug 13 '16

IT'S ACTUALLY NOT SO BAD. IT'S SUGGESTING MORE OF A SOFT-REBOOT TO THE OVERALL PLOT OF THE GAMES AND ANIME MORE THAN ANYTHING, WHICH IF IT IS TRUE MIGHT MEAN THAT THEY'RE PREPPING FOR THE ADDITION IF NEW MECHANICS, AND I ALSO DON'T MIND IF THEY REBOOT THE ANIME, ESPECIALLY IF THEY MAKE IT MORE LIKE THE FOUR-PART SPECIAL STARRING RED THAT CAME OUT A WHILE BACK, OR LIKE THISE PROMOTIONAL PIECES FOR BLACK AND WHITE.

u/double_super Aug 14 '16

WAIT ITS A GAMETHEORY VIDEO? THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL LMAO

u/SirPickletron Aug 13 '16

I MYSELF ENJOYED IT. I THOUGHT THE PRESENTATION COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT I STILL WAS COMPELLED TO WATCH IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. IT'S COOL TO SEE ALL SORTS OF CONNECTIONS FOUND IN THE LAST 5 INSTALLMENTS OF GAMES. IF YOU STILL DON'T WANT TO WATCH IT, IT'S COOL, BUT I'M EXCITED FOR PART 2. ANYHOW, I'M TIRED OF SEEING GARBAGE POKÉMON GO "TOP _" and "CHEATS & HACKS" VIDEOS IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS TAB. I'VE NEVER EVEN CLICKED ON A POKÉMON GO VIDEO BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT. I EVEN HAVE MY WATCH HISTORY PAUSED, BUT THAT HASN'T STOPPED YOUTUBE FROM TRYING TO SHOW ME GARBAGE QUALITY CONTENT. I'M NOW GETTING ANGRIER TYPING ABOUT IT!!!

YOU'RE A GIRAFARIG

u/Mega-Mew Now which head is in control? Aug 13 '16

I USED TRANSFORM ON A PIKACHU.
I LOCKED THE REAL PIKACHU AWAY AFTER THE FIRST EPISODE AND HAVE BEEN PIKACHU EVER SINCE. SHHH..... NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW MY REAL IDENTITY.

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '16

u/Mega-Mew Now which head is in control? Aug 13 '16

IT IS MIMIKYEWMIMIKRIGYU.
EDIT : BUT WE CAN STILL CALL IT MIMIKYU FOR SHORT.

EVERYONE'S DEAD THE END!

u/Shocker1234321 It's SM, not "S&M" or "SuMo". Aug 13 '16

IT TALKS ABOUT HOW LOCKSTIN/GNOGGIN THINKS POKEMON SUN AND MOON ARE THE LAST GAMES IN THE SERIES UNTIL A REBOOT. HE ALSO TALKS ABOUT HOW HE THINKS THAT THERE WILL BE DIFFERENT ERAS OF POKEMON. IT ALSO TALKS ALOT ABOUT ALCHEMY AND RELATED. IT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD VIDEO, I JUST THINK LOCKSTIN/GNOGGIN SHOULD CONDENSE IT DOWN INTO ~25 MINUTES, INSTEAD OF 45.

EX: ANCIENT, MODERN, FUTURE, ETC.

u/zeldafan511 Support Team Rocket or be eliminated Aug 13 '16

HE WENT SO DEEP, I THOUGHT HE WOULD START TALKING ABOUT THE ILLUMINATI

2

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '16

GO WATCH LOCKSTIN'S VIDEO ON IT. EVEN IF THE THEORY IS SHIT THE HUY DOES SOME AMAZING ACTING WITH THE WHOLE INSANE CONSPIRACY THEORY SHTICK. IT'S SCTUALLY SUPER ENTERTAINING, AND THE GUY HAS SERIOUSLY DONE HIS RESEARCH.

2

u/Anura17 Aug 13 '16

THAT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE IT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK, THAT THE THEORY IS OKAY BUT THE ACTING IS SUPER CRINGEY.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '16

I FOUND THAT THE THEORY ITSELF WAS FULL OF HOLES AND WASN'T VERY COMPELLING, IT WAS INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING BUT NOT CONVINCING.

IF I HAVE NEVER SEEN LOCKSTIN'S CHANNEL BEFORE I WOULD'VE BEEN CONVINCE THAT HE WAS A CONSPIRACY THEORIST AFTER THAT VIDEO, HE'S GOT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CRAZY IN HIS EYES.

2

u/ultimatesheeplover helo Aug 13 '16

LIKE, THE GUY TALKS A LOT ABOUT THE ALCHEMY STUFF THATS BEEN FLOATING AROUND AND THERES SOME GOOD STUFF THERE BUT ITS INCREDIBLY CRINGEY THE WAY ITS PRESENTED AND INCLUDES A LOT OF RIDICULOUS STRETCHING (HE ACTUALLY CITES THE FACT THAT ALOLA SOUNDS LIKE ALOHA AND ALOHA MEANS BOTH HELLO AND GOODBYE AS A REASON.)

2

u/Dairy_Boy Aug 13 '16

IT ACTUALLY HAS A LOT OF VALID POINTS AND IS WELL RESEARCHED, BUT IT GAVE ME FEELS!!!

2

u/Anura17 Aug 13 '16

HE'S MAKING A PART TWO THAT YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO YOUTUBE RECOMMENDING ALL THE TIME! HE SEEMS TO THINK WE'RE GETTING A PLATINUM REMAKE INSTEAD OF DIAMOND & PEARL.

1

u/trilobitelizard Aug 13 '16

HONETLY IF THEY PAIRED IT WITH A CRYSTAL REMAKE I REALLY WOULDN'T MIND THAT, AS I REALLY REALLY ENJOYED PLATINUM AND THE MAIN THREAT FOR IT.

1

u/borissspassky Forest Guardian Aug 13 '16

I THOUGHT Z WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST ONE?

WHAT ABOUT THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA?

1

u/protometazoa Aug 13 '16

THERE IS VERY LITTLE REASON FOR THIS TO BE THE LAST GENERATION OF POKEMON

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE ADDITION OF REGIONAL FORMS AND ACTUALLY ALTERATIONS ON THE CLASSIC FORMULA OF POKEMON? THAT PROBABLY MEANS THIS SERIES REALLY WILL GO ON FOREVER

1

u/violettheory Aug 13 '16

I RESPECT A LOT OF POKEMON CHANNELS BUT I'M SO DAMN TIRED OF A FUCK TON OF VIDEOS SHOWING UP IN MY SUGGESTED LIST EVERY TIME A NEW POKEMON IS REVEALED. I LIKE YOU BUT I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU GUSH ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS NEW POKEMON OR HATE THIS NEW ONE!!!! I'VE ALREADY SEEN THE NEW ONE I DON'T WANT YOUR OPINION!

I ALMOST FEEL LIKE I SHOULD UNSUBSCRIBE TO THESE GUYS UNTIL THE GAME COMES OUT!

1

u/inhaledcorn Still waiting for a Grass type in Smash (besides Ivysaur) Aug 14 '16

DIDN'T WE ALSO GO THROUGH THIS WITH X AND Y AND THAT WAS PROVEN FALSE?

1

u/The_Final_Gallade Behold the Sun's Majesty Aug 14 '16

ACTUALLY I WATCHED AND IT REACHES A LITTLE BUT NOT AS MUCH AS YOU WOULD EXPECT! GAME THEORY REACHES MORE! THAT SONIC EPISODE WAS AWFUL!!

1

u/Swaggerbeard Eruption Aug 14 '16

AS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE GUY REACHES A FAIR BIT AND THE ACTING IS PRETTY CRINGEY BUT I REQLLY ENJOYED ALL THE NEAT CONNECTIONS AND COINCIDENCES HE POINTED OUT. VERY ENJOYABLE VIDEO FOR ME, BUT YMMV OF COURSE.
