Catching EVERY Pokémon in Legends: Arceus 

The fact arceus had to send player to stop volo proves that cynthias bloodline is just built for killing dreams

I like how in Arceus’ dex entry it says that you were just given a part of Arceus, which is a cool explanation for why a 10 year old can catch god

Cynthia’s theme is the Pokémon equivalent of One Winged Angel.

I just gotta say, Volo does a super saiyan transformation, sends you into a three-phase boss fight including a total of eight Pokémon (two of them being satan), yells at you about dreams, and then “spooky plate”

Alpha’s reaction to seeing palkia’s new form was the most genuine “WHAT THE FUCK” I’ve heard in years

Alpha's PTSD with Volo was one of the most funny things I've seen in a while

I love how Alpha's first instinct after getting a rideable mount is jumping straight off a cliff.

The Volo fight was the best fight in pokemon since Ultra Necrozma. Sure plenty of people guessed it would be him, but how many people expected him to throw Giratina at you?

"I wasn't scared until i heard the piano" That one pianist that can play approaching Cynthia: Its showtime

I still can't believe Giratina just casually hits you with the red ascended meme eyes after you beat it the first time

I love how everyone playing this game knew what would happen to that Wurmple and yet the "plot twist" was still entertaining. There wasn't a single person who thought that Wurmple would ACTUALLY become a beautifly and yet it was beautiful.

I have watched this video so many times because the comedic beats are god tier “And on the seventh day, God said ‘Bet’.”

"He's shaped like a friend" is easily my favourite quote from any human in all of existence

Honestly really love how Nintendo finally released a Pokémon game that feels original. The concept of going back into time to when Pokémon were first starting to be caught, and the huge open world aspect that comes with it is just beautiful.

The funniest part of the video is how he chooses to put BOTW music over the ENTIRE THING because it’s so similar lmao

I love that if you say "no..." to knowing what pokemon are that technically insinuates Arceus kidnapped a random kid from a COMPLETELY UNRELATED WORLD WITHOUT HIM AS A GOD to do his bidding.

I never thought that pokemon would get out of the habit of selling two of the same game with only other pokemon to differ for the first time. ANYWAY CANT WAIT FOR POKEMON SCARLET AND VIOLET

I like how everyone saw the guy naming their wrumple "beauty-something" and absolutely knew the wrumple would evolve into a dustox. Like it's a joke as old as time.

46:40 is probably one of my favorite things Alpha has ever said. That, and the most genuine “WHAT THE FUCK” I’ve ever heard from him when he saw Palkia’s Origin Forme.

That Manaphy quest is just like that time the chat told Alpha how to evolve Galarian Yamask and I just love it

1:23:45 as someone who watched the stream, i can confirm that this number was NOT an exaggeration, i had to go to bed before he fought god because he took so damn long shopping

“We captured God, and Arceus.” For those that didn’t stick to the end. You missed- Just that, you missed.

Looking back on this game now (July 2023) what a breath of fresh air this game was. It’s a shame Scarlet and Violet didn’t stay in the same vein

I love how they just used Cynthia's team for Volo. Can't change perfection, can potentially introduce some Doctor Who esque shenanigans to the Pokemon universe

I like to think Arceus made the game, putting hours of labor and care into making it fun, but Giratina messed with the graphics right before luanch.

Fun fact: the yellow rings around Arceus when it’s summoning you is the same formation as the magnagates of the mystery dungeon series!!!

Few things will ever be as funny to me as 14:04, wherein Alpharad mounts Wyrdeer for the first time, proudly proclaims that the world is his oyster. And then immediately proceeds to jump off a cliff to his death.

1:17:46 this gave me “Shadow, It’s me; THE DEVIL” vibes

"What happened to our new recruit?" "Well ma'am I said she couldn't go to that area because she wasn't prepared. At which point she rolled off the bridge and drowned."

My favorite part about Alpharad's coverage of this game is he literally doesn't even give a shit about Ingo, meanwhile everyone else is crying about it, including me.

I don’t know why, but that final moment at 1:27:49 felt like one of those badass trade blows moment where both guys land the final hit on each other at the same time, and one keels over injured while the other looks smug before falling dead. Like, imagine if you were in the red and heard the final buzzer noise when that happened, but then it still counted as a victory for you because you struck first. Imagine the tension you’d feel in that moment.

“I have learned 2 things today. 1. Satan is real 2. He is my friend :) “ -Alpharad

Episode 1 0:11 Episode 2 16:27 Episode 3 35:17 Episode 4 53:14 Episode 5 (only in full supercut) 1:08:16

The raw "WHAT?" as Giratina transforms is the definition of fear

"Is this a mission trip?" had me SPITTING MY COFFEE OUT. You can't just do that to me friend! Love your content keep it up!

Qwilfish evolution was so annoying. The only reason I didn't put it off was because I promised myself I wouldn't do it until I got the shiny and promptly got it five minutes later.

I was gonna say, "wait, is this a reupload?" Then i watched the length of the vid.... And then i realized... Oh, this is the super cut. Clever, Alpha. Good games to you man.

1:15:00 I always love Jacob’s reaction to the Volo fight

1:06:40 his genuine reaction to origin form palkia scared me

Why does Alpha have Volo energy? Hyped and energetic but hiding pure, unadulterated malice

Love that the comparison of PLA to BOTW has become such a meme that Alpha just uses BOTW music throughout this video and it just kinda fits

Every time Alpha talks about the legendaries being a friend I just think about “you’re my friend now, we’re having soft tacos later :)”

Commander: *uses max potion* Alpharad: *Uses punch*

Hearing the botw music/sound effects in his videos give me MAJOR nostalgia, I played it every day for months when it came out and still play today, but these sounds make me happy for some reason

My favorite moments: 0:26 - The Iphone 1:33 - "Alas... Yet another miss!" 3:23 - "Oh I can crouch?" 9:52 - r/ArceusMemes 11:42 - Based Rei 12:48 - Lopunny. 13:45 - This game is awesome for doing this and I cried 16:53 - NORMIE GIRL 21:48 - Sorry but I simp for Arezu 22:37 - STDs 24:13 - She smiled :D 37:02 - Frame drop 40:58 - 🗿 43:32 - Manaphy's quest 46:40 - "Freezing? I'm practically sweating." 54:12 - Yeah I also simp for her 55:00 - r/ArceusMemes 2 56:24 - r/ArceusMemes 3 57:41 - r/ArceusMemes 4 1:05:32 - Based Adaman 1:08:40 - Based Chat 1:15:06 - Piano 1:26:54 - "Hey look up lol"

I like to think that while there's all these "team diamond" and "team pearl" people, you are out here dressed in blinding white as the ONLY member of team G.O.D.

I’m so glad to hear that I wasn’t the only one struggling that much with Cherubi! 😂😅

this has become one of the videos that I come back to at least once every few weeks

As soon as I handed that first man his Wurmple I was like "I hope you get a Dustox. It's one of my fave original early insects." then he starts shit talking about how he expects a Beautifly and I just hyped up *as he sealed his moth boy fate.* Then he appreciated the bean and I appreciate him. Me and Beauregard? TIGHT. PALS.

*Alpha's rage over Overqwil is equal to when Arin yells at John over the needing to draw the line.*

I used only ghost types in this game, so the final boss giving me the spooky plate and the best Giratina fight ever was just perfect for me personally. Ghost vs ghost, and my boys came out on top.

Seeing him use so many pokeballs to catch the starters killed me inside. The gamer part of my brain that says, “i should use these sparingly because i may need them later” was triggered 😂

"Is this game just a mission trip?" Maybe, but there is no greater honor

Forget the Pokédex, Dialga needs to send the poor train man home. Look at him! He’s got depression!

1:22:05 The Bonsly is REEEEEEEEAL!

23:47 might be my favorite quote of all time

When I first played through the game, when I found out that you could even get Eevee in the first area, I spent a whole two hours just LOOKING for where to find one, and in that time I got a shiny Buizel, a shiny Shinx, and no Eevee's

I feel like Alpharad is Catching EVERY Pokémon in Legends: Arceus, that’s certified Awesome by God.

Girl:” let’s see what my clairvoyance has to say about this” Alpha:”That’s a Pokémon “ Girl:” yup definitely a Pokémon”

17:44 is one of my favorite moments from this video

New content (as in not from the previous indivual vids) starts at 1:08:00

"The world is my oyster, I can do anything!" (dies 5 seconds later) that killed me lmao

"I wasn't scared... until I heard piano."

57:47 I was waiting for this reaction lol. I didn't realize you needed this specifically until after I caught it for Manaphy.

46:37 "oh my god a hoe's never cold " my favourite quote

Arceus' speech is just someone from hundreds of years ago who looked at 21st century urban dictionary and said "yeah i should use this in all my sentences to sound hip"

Love that Dialga's named Pucci but then Palkia literally just turns into Made in Heaven lol

Also if you throw an Ultra Ball and it bounces once, it’s practically like using a Master Ball! Never failed me!

I just like how Volo gets a plate from goddamn Satan and just says “cool.”

Ahh, the struggle is real. Especially CHERUBI OF RIDICULOUS SCARCITY.

my favourite part of this video is the constant use of Zelda sound effects. Genius.

51:29 i am kinda surprised alpha didn't notice that the flavor text for the eternal ice states that its from another massive avalugg, which means that lord avalugg is a cannibal.

You know if Gigas still has slow start all the way back here, it makes you wonder when he was in his prime

If you think about it, if Volo is the ancestor to Cynthia, wouldn't that make Cynthia's theme his actually? And it was passed down to her for her to use and give a spin on it? Also RIP Regigigas. Even without abilities it can't escape slow start.

27:03 the pure joy he has when seeing spheal is exactly how I feel when i get tacos

Honestly love the dynamic of this game. The way you can crouch and dodge and run around the battle is fun. I really like it and the way the pokeballs look is so cute.

The best thing to come out of Legends is Laventon’s single quote, “Alas, yet another miss!”

1:15:00 I had the opposite reaction honestly. I saw that spiritomb and (was confused cause I thought we found the first one of those) immediately knew what was happening. And I felt *cocky* I looked at that man like "Oh, you think I don't know what this is? Do you think I do not know how to beat this team? Do you really think you can do it like Cynthia does? I've been here before Volo. You're nothing but a pale imitation.

Volo is by far my favourite villain in pokemon now. I never been this scared or frustrated with a trainer before, I got wooped like 20 times by his basically 8 pokemons, it didn't really helped that my whole team was 6 levels lower than his also. His theme slaps and his designs is top tier. I never, in any pokemon game felt such relief and then immediately major anxiety at this part 1:16:49 , I just barely finished off the first Giratina stage with like 5 hp on my last pokemon and then it just came back from the dead. Vey memorable guy, I both hated and loved to battle him

his reaction to seeing spheal was the same as mine I was so excited for my little walrus

The issue is freaking SPIRITOMB. I am missing like 2 wisps in each area and it sounds so tedious just to get them all. Also Bastiodon and shieldon but thats rng

oh man i was liking volo so much i was having so much fun running around teaming up with him and then as i was climbing the peak to meet him i literally think to myself "hmm, i really like this guy, i hope he doesnt go bat shit and turn into the final boss" and 5 minutes later hes attacking me 😭😭

I caught the shiny bidoof today. I have finally harnessed the true god.

1:00:18 I had the exact same thought lmao, recent pokemon games conditioned me into expecting a free master ball in the late game

Your reaction to Palkia becoming an abomination is so genuine and raw and I love it.

I know it was clipped and pointed out in the previous episode but his reaction to spear pillar and then his immediate bewilderment to Palkia’s form is the funniest thing ever

This was probably my favorite pokemon game. I haven't played many to be honest, but if the ones I have played this one was so much fun! From the calming feeling of the town, to the panic of running from an alpha pokemon at a low level, it really is awesome. And sure, it doesn't have as many actual pokemon battles in it, but it still does. You can still catch Pokemon the old fashioned way of battling them if you want as well. It just isn't a requirement. You can use your skills of stealth, dodge the attacks and stun them, or battle with your pokemon. I really hope they do more of this in the future.

normal ten year olds: "I CAUGHT PIKACHU" protagonist ten year old: "i caught satan and god in the span of 1 hour"

I like how Adaman’s name sounds close to Adamant, like the crystal that goes with Dialga. So why isn’t Irida named Luster or something like that? I know it’s like iridescent which is a synonym but they could have made it better.

I loved Jacob's reaction to Spear Pillar, Palkia's Origin Form, Volo's theme, and Giratina's fake out defeat.

That whole Manaphy sidequest makes me think the devs took 1 look at the urban legend of mew being under the truck, and said "Hold my beer." Lol

When I find a shiny: YOOOOO When Alpharad finds a shiny: oh, ok. When I find a cherubi: oh, ok. When Alpharad finds a cherubi: YOOOOO

I don't know why but the way he says the line at 1:16:25 actually chilling. legitimately good

Alpha: time to get down on all fours- Palkia: oh say LESS

"She definitely looks like she uhhh... murdered her husband for life insurance" LMAO

1:15:17 I Don't Even Play Pokemon and this gives me shivers JESUS CHRIST

Letting a small child carry around god in their pocket sounds like a terrible idea... oh and Arceus was there too

I feel like everyone in this game had a specific Pokemon they could not find or catch for the life of them, making completing the dex more annoying than it had to be. For me, it was Magnemite; but that was mostly on me because I was looking in the wrong zone most of the time. Magnemite and Magneton are found in the space-time distortions in the Cobalt Coastlands, while Magnezone is just found in the wild like a mile high in several areas in the Coronet Highlands. I just forgot where I caught a Magneton, naturally assumed that Magnemite were also in the Highlands, spammed all their dex tasks to complete the entry for Magneton in battles, and spammed catching Magnezone to fill up that entry. My team by the end was a shiny Samurott named Tomoe, a Honchkrow named Hibari, a Leafeon named Matcha, Mamoswine named Mamosuke (I love how much ground-types got buffed, or more like how many Pokemon that could levitate now got nerfed), Goodra named Rimuru, and Zoroark named Samara, all alphas.

Volo: there’s a secret to catching Pokémon Alpha: what, gunning them down?

I love that pokemon not only did the (somewhat predictable depending on the person) surprise involvement of Giratina, but also added that second phase, so even the people who overlevel and just act unthinkingly throughout the battle have to panic at the end. Alpha went in basically jokingly, by the end of the first phase he was a little concerned but still confident, and then it came back with only two pokemon left. If that giratina had used a strong attack as its first origin form move he'd have been doomed, probably
