Choose Your Starter BUT in Different Languages 

Ngl Quack Drive might be Luke's magnum opus when it comes to pokemon names

9:33 no such thing as a silent k in german. It's Knilz, you pronounce every single letter.

Fun Fact: According to Junichi Masuda, Legendary Pokémon are the hardest to come up with names for. This is because they purposefully strive to create names for Legendary Pokémon that universally work across multiple different languages. This is why most Legendaries have either the same name or a very similar name in most languages. It also adds to the lore of Legendaries, having a very unique and almost cryptic and deity-like or ancient sounding name different cultures in the Pokémon world recognize.

In Germany we don’t have a silent k, it’s always pronounced as a normal k, so it would actually be Knilz and Knarbon.

9:45 I love how Luke is just so happy with Kleinstein oblivious that it means small stone

“I used to call it KYOORGE” Luke went southern for a second 😂

9:45 Idk why, the look from excited to disappointment on Luke's face was so funny to me

I love how if you count arcanine as a technical legendary, Dylan just got 5 godly beasts and a fish. So funny 🤣

that was an insane throw from dylan swapping out on the golduck

0:45 Not even a minute in and Vinny's already catching strays lmao.

I love that you picked Dylan for this video. I mean this in the nicest way possible but it's so funny hearing a full on southern dude saying things in a different language

This is going to be one of the closest battles of all time, 5 pokemon with 550+ bst vs latias and a gang of misfits

Gonna be making a comment here about French pronounciations here for fun: 5:47 Farfuret (Sneasel, my personal favorite Pokémon btw) The T at the end is not pronounced, it's just there to give a "eh" sound to the "e". In French we have kind of a rule that determines how we pronounce the letter e: If it's followed by a single consoun, it's a "uh" sound. If it's followed by two consouns OR by a single consoun at the end of a word, it's a "eh" sound. 8:28 Argouste (Gumshoos) And in this case, at the end of a word and without any consouns after it, the letter e is not pronounced at all. 10:15 Tapatoès (Squawkabilly) So this one has one of the more common accents in French, which is the grave accent (è). This one always give a "eh" sound whenever you need to pronounce it. The other common accent which is the acute accent is more of a "ay" sound (é). Bonus at 16:00 The name for Landorus in French is the same as German, we just write it "Démétéros". Hopefully I remembered everything correctly, it's been a long while since I've had to think about how my first language works so I might be misremembering things.

That switch out against Golduck was the downward spiral lol

"no such thing as a priority dark type move" sucker punch!?!?!

2:26 wait till they learn that it becomes friedwuff😂

Please do random perks like this more often, even if you don’t get them, the possibility has me locked in 😂

Porygon in Chinese, 多边兽, means literally "poly-sided beast". Btw, do not confuse 兽(shou) which means "beast" with 豹(bao) which means "leopard", which is where chien-pao came from

Good thing Dylan had that Basculin to balance his team out

I love Tropius' meaning in Chinese. It means Tropical Dragon

14:59 gotta respect giving perrserker Adaptability, an ability that makes it's steel type attacks do less damage than it's regular ability (Steely Spirit) would

German viewer here: Many people already explained "Furienblitz" in the comments, so I won't do that (your pronounciation was really good though) "Gruff" (the german name for Greavard) comes from the German words "Gruft" (an English translation would be "crypt" or "tomb") and "Wuff" (a barking sound, just like the English "Woof", even the pronounciation is similar). "Pampross" is a combination of "Pampe" ( basically "mud") und "Ross" (a somewhat old german word for a domesticated horse) "Knilz" comes from the words "Knirps" ( a colloquial word for "little boy", the English equivalent might be "tot"?") or "Knilch" (a german world for an unpleasant boy) and "Pilz" (the German word for mushroom) "Kleinstein" literally means "little stone". "Entoron" is quite funny. According to "pokéwiki (basically a German bulbapedia) the name comes from "Enton" (the Name for Psyduck) + "Or", the French word for "gold", which is put between the "Ent-" - part and the " - on" - part "Knarbon" comes from "Knappe" (the German word for "squire") and "Karbon" / "Carbon" "Tobutz = "tu" (french/latin for "you") OR "toben" (German for "to rage") + "Butz"/"Butzemann" (an old german word for (evil) spirits or demons) "Demeteros" = "Demeter" (greek godess of fertility and harvest) + "Aiolos" (a greek god/ ruler of the winds).

That Japanese at the beginning was cool!

the mamoswine fumble hurted

I find it kinda funny that Spanish is in the example of languages that use the english names and it's also included in the list of languages that change the names. The thing is that not many pokémon change in spanish, I'm pretty sure it's just Type:Null -> Código Cero and every paradox pokémon (The iron ones having the prefix "Ferro" and the past paradox just being 1 word that mixes two, like Roaring Moon for example is called "Bramaluna". Also, curious fact, Miraidon and Koraidon's names don't change but their paradox names "Winged King" and "Iron Serpent" do get translated to "Rey Alado" and "Ferrosierpe". I mean, it makes sense, but it's just something I thought of while writing this). Maybe there's another that's not coming to mind, but anyways, funny that spanish is on both lists. Edit: Okay both Italian and Spanish appear on both, I am blind :)

03:48 made me think that a "We describe our pokémon with a single word" than we fight would be fun

I love luke's complete face drop from loving the name Kleinstein, to hearing it's a geodude

I am ALWAYS excited when I see a luke post! So happy to see you pull out another win but love the people you collab with! Hope you keep creating more! 😄

The Elvis bird sounding like tapping toes is honestly perfect

If there's anything I've learned from these 'then we fight' videos, it's that how many legendaries you get is completely irrelevant. You could have a full legendary team, and somehow be swept by a Venemoth.

Furieblitz is really obviously fury (raging) blitz (bolt)

Perfect said "FurienBlitz" by Lukey, its literlly Translated from Rageing Bolt. A "Furie" could be aswell a histeric screaming "Karen" lmao

Kleinstein = kleine steen = small rock is my thought process

It's a good day when Luke posts. Keep it up!

"there's no priority dark type move" sucker punch: am i a joke to you?

gotta love my fav pokemon Latias coming in for the reverse sweep picking up all 6 kills!

Nice pronunciation on the Japanese at the beginning! Toroku shite is pronounced more like "Toroku shte" with very little emphasis on the i but apart from that it was perfect!

For those wondering, spanish only has unique names for Paradox pokemon and Type Null, which is "Código Cero" which means "Code Zero"

Gruff comes actually from Grave and Wuff (the sound dogs make when they bark)

the genius behind the nickname "Quack Drive" is absolutely unbeatable!! haha

As a german Person i have to say, that this Video was very funny for me. The combo of you two is love.

That basculin really evened the team out.

Hey! That's a really smart way of getting around the (admittedly hilarious) "It's Zapdos" I commented RIGHT before Latias.

An idea for a future video. Choosing your team where you’ve got a base stats limit for the entire team. Maybe 2000 or so. That way you have to decide do you have a full team of weaker Pokemon, or do you only have a couple of legendaries instead.

Subscribing to you Luke because you actually give such positive vibes!! Hope you keep it up when you become a bigger channel!

Luke over here taking after his father too much with the throws🤣

Ideas for more videos: -Give the names of 2 of the 3 starters, keeping one hidden. -Battle with not fully evolved mon only, with some weird way of describing the mons, and if you pick a mon that can't evolve your opponent picks for you (or maybe you get nothing?)

GBL is such an amazing person 🔥 battles like a savage and spreads his contagious laughter 😂❤

Most pokemon named after traditional things are regionalised, but most that have uniquely crafted names are universal - such as Giratina, or a lot of the legendaries (as that's where they put most of the effort into) but a few regular mons as well I think

Oh this is going to be a fun one😂

Vinny caught a stray in the first 30 seconds. lol

Best comeback of all time ❤

yall should do this again but with a random wheel to decide which language to use per mon/round

As a french sub, it was so fun so see you try to pronounce the Pokémon's french names ! Awesome video too ^^

Porygon in Chinese means '3-D Long'

Latias is my favourite legendary so seeing her sweep was a glorious feeling

For "farfuret" we don t said the "t" at oral in french, and it s the same for his evolution "dimoret" And for "argouste", we don t said the final "e" In French we said only sometimes the finals "t" ;) For "tapaoés" we qaid the "s" and the "e" with this accent must be said "&" I LOVE this concept and the idea to choose starters 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dude Luke had so little chance of winning but Dylan gave him the tiniest edge and it was an avalanche from there 😂

Per usual, Dylan sells more than his bearded father

Would love to see Pat react to this. He’s finally get Fish on the bingo 😂

00:23 you looked so happy saying that. Looked really cute

Ooh the beginning the japanese! にほんごじょうずです！ルークくん！here is a lil hiragana/katakana sentence for you to read Luke, thanks for the video!

Uploaded 3 minutes ago? Heck yeah

your setup is sick 🔥

Love it when poketubers throw their opponents some bones if they're falling behind.

Luke's a genius for calling his golduck Quack Drive 😂😂❤

11:24 Vinny has done that but I’ve always loved it as it just encourages you to guess correct

I need to know where you got that gastly line shirt it’s sick!!!!

geodude is a funny thing because it gets sucker punch but only if you transfer it from gen 4 and its one of the things that can make it decently viable aside from just exploding

Dylan threw so hard!😂😂😂

can you make another guess with the Pokemon typing but this time guessing the resistance for example the fire type resists fire, grass, ice, bug, fairy and steel, but it could be tricky since few types share that resistance, guessing which type that could be could be fun can you do it with shady or pat?

I’ve never been this early 😮

I can’t believe Dylan isn’t a QB with how much he throws 😂😂

What if you did a video where you get to pick your random starter but have to randomize all its stats?

you should make this into a league, maybe 8-10 players, do a different challenge every week, maybe 8 weeks, have divisions, then do playoffs

Can you guys do an 8 out of 10 cats style video with "pokemon that deserve evolutions" ?

The reverse sweep was WILD, I knew if anyone could pull through its GBL

Am I the only one who rewound Luke saying, "Please sub" in Japanese multiple times because it was just amazing?😂

Hey, I'm pretty sure this comment will get lost in the many, but here's a possible "choose your starter idea" : Select your mon from hearing it's boss (villain or champion) theme, such as playing Cynthia's theme for anyone from her team, like Garchomp , or maybe Giovanni's theme for Persian.... Something like that maybe? Including all the mos from the many champions and villains boss teams will give enough variety won't it? Keep up the great work :)

I love these videos xD also for Mightyena the German name does not really sound like the others. well maybe for me as a German xD

In fairness, they DID call it "Kee-OH-gree" in the Hoenn Pokerap.

What was with the random jump cut between Sneasler to Tropius?

Do a video where each round someone adds a new rule to the game, they all overlap.

I was watching your old soul links with beardless dad it was very fun man

As a french canadian born in the late 90s I grew up with pokemon in english so I probably mispronounced most pokémon’s names from gen 1-4. less gen 1 thanks to the french canadian dub of the anime keeping the names of town/characters/pokemon in english. Only had like 3 season sadly.

Latias sweep brings joy to my heart

Man the music playing at 3:27 just gave me huge flashbacks to a pokemon game but I can't place witch game that music game from! Anyone know? I feel like it's either gen 3 or 4

As someone who’s favourite Pokémon is cleffa, as soon as I saw her on the screen I yelled py cuz it’s so funny

3:25 As a kid, my best friend and I used to call Lugia Luigi

I do have a question for you, Luke, if you see this and decide to answer (message made near beginning of video). Did you use Bulbapedia when looking up the foreign names of Pokemon?

Hearing Kleinstein activated a part of my brain that is reserved for Julia Drawfee

When I was little and didn’t read much yet I thought safely was pronounced “saf lay” so I’d always say “got away saflay” in a fancy tone

Since I am used to play pokemon in french version it was easy for me to guess the french ones

Video videoing, but Quack drive golduck with Quark drive is top comedy

Patterz bingo is gonna be so hype about that feeeeesh

25:20 Why is there a bit in the outro where someone says “ipad! 😁” ? I like it but I don’t understand.

I love these videos because they’re so funny but as someone who studies Japanese the pronunciation makes me cringe so bad. But probably because it reminds me of my Japanese pronunciation when I first started learning lol

Interesting approach to search for english explanations for the origin of other languages names... xD Sometimes it's correct, but e.g. Gruff comes from "Gruft + Wuff" according to the wiki which stands for "crypt + bark sound"

Gruff is a mixture from Gruft (crypt) and Wuff (the sound a dog makes)

The Zelda noises catch my attention everytime. WHERE IS THAT SHRINE AT
