I Beat the Teal Mask DLC with a Team of Shiny Applin 

im pretty sure the thing that resurrected the loyal three was the crystal chunk you were carrying around-carmine mentioned that the pool was rumored to be able to let you communicate with the deceased so its probs related

"snorlax is in the gaaaaaaaaame" scratches my brain just right, honestly kills me everytime you show that clip 'cos i see it too

This man is about to go on his joker arc

Ya know if Kieran had more apple-themed mons I doubt he'd be half as edgy, another great video!

honestly I don't blame kieran for being mad he was the only person who believed in the goodness of the oni and then we ended up taking it home with us after knowing the oni for like 3 days

I this dlc felt like a set up for Kieran's villain arc. It be the first we saw a character become a villain vs. Meeting them as a villain. We have evil gym leaders, an evil elite four member, if done right I feel like Kieran has tge potential to be tge first evil champion. I look forward to see where his story goes.

When you beat Carmine at the end, i belive what she wanted to say was that she was going back to blueberry academy, but since Briar called she ended up not mentioning it untill you all got called to the plaza. About the crystal pool, i really hope it comes more into play in the second part, i really hope we get to go back to Kitakami in general since i really liked it, and the theory of being able to talk to either the professors, or Heath is fascinating to me.

27:19 no way she PREDICTED the professor time loop

Loved the story so far, the setup for the next game was a welcome surprise! The new charachters, Carmine especially, got hated into the ground. But I like her, shes not evil, just a bit blabbermouth. Just says what she thinks. And Keiran is insecure and always lives in the shadow of his sister. And as soon as he has the chance of greatness, a random dude/gal from Paldea shows up and picks up the ‘mon he has loved for years. And all that while his big sis is not supporting him, but the rando from Paldea. Id he pretty damn pissed too if I were in his shoes. For the future, Id love for Keiran to learn about IVs and EVs and become a really tough opponent!

All I'm saying is I can't wait to make Kieran cry again using Ogerpon

The intro said that the Teal Mask restored life or words to that effect. I just think the presence of the mask near the monument resurrected the loyal three.

It’s so great when good RU-vidrs post long videos! It’s always a perfect opportunity to shiny hunt while watching! Keep up the great work!

I came to this video for one reason….APPLIN 🍎🍏. In all seriousness, great video!

I gotta say, you are adorable, and so is Applin and it's evolutions. And the Applin + evos playthrough is amazing! Your final remarks were good eye openers for me. My thoughts on them: It def had more emotion than I thought as well. Imo Carmine and Kieran were a very well done, close brother/sister duo. So well done that people seem to question it and if their sibling interactions were "normal". I really forgot about the Crystal pool and professors passing away totally flew over my head, but with you mentioning it, I could see a weird resurrection and reuniting of Arven with his Mother/Father happening in the 2nd DLC. I thought Briar was going to be the main "villain" which was totally dissipated in the end. And she definitely has something nefarious going on lol. And the ending Carmine interruption, many of us speculated a "love interest", me included. But your, "she knows more than she lets on" idea actually makes a lot of sense. My last thoughts are, yeah I thought Kieran wasn't treated right in the DLC. And we had no control over that and of course you'd feel angry being the "odd one out", I get that, I do or have felt that way in a group of friends. My Overall; great DLC, would have lived more Pokemon reintroduced. But glad with the mons we got and story we have so far.

Amazing video! The biggest thing that interested from the story was that Briar talked about trying to figure out the terastal energy so it could be used outside of the Paldea region. Given that Blueberry academy is in Unova, it makes me wonder if they might try to bring tera-battles to Unova if we get a remake of Black and White?

Nice video as usual! Great work! Something I recently found out is that there seems to be this lore in game for the loyal three Okidogi was once weak and a desire for strength led it to gain muscles Munkidori was once dim witted but a desire for knowledge led it to gain wisdom Fezandipiti once had short and dull feathers but a desire for beauty led it to gain a more exquisite appearance Well, by the end of the dlc, someone showed a great desire for battle prowess; Kieran! The same guy who punched the monument of the loyal three moments before their resurrection. So honestly I think that while Kieran has sided with Ogerpon the whole time, he ironically is not much different from the loyal three or at least there’s some connection between them which we will maybe see more of in the second dlc?

Great upload Arlie! Glad i was there for your first Dipplin! 😁

I think the DLC was pretty decent there were a LOT of things I didn't like, and it kind of felt like just a setup for the second part. For one, the amount of new pokemon was lower than I would have liked - it felt even smaller because SO many of the final stage evos were trade evolutions (milotic, conkeldurr, dusknoir, politoed, golem). That's also not considering the weird thing they did with the day-night cycle; it's dependent on your story progression what time of day it is but they lock so many pokemon behind daytime or night-time that it was really frustrating trying to build a team, especially because I shiny-hunted my entire DLC team and was just straight up locked out of cool shinies like the litwick line. The lag and performance was just honestly unacceptable, I had the game completely freeze multiple times throughout the story. I used to get annoyed when people complained about lag, but after playing Tears of the Kingdom and seeing how well that ran at 100x the size it's just honestly criminal that they still haven't optimised the gameplay whatsoever. Why are my turn based set-animations running slower than dynamically fighting entire hordes of enemies? I'm hoping that the story gets better for the indigo Disk, my personal headcanon is that Kieran gets or is already being controlled/manipulated by the evil legendary of the DLC who is also revealed to be the leader of the loyal three. Definitely think the crystal pool is a setup for bringing back in the professors too - and I'm really excited for the final reveal on what paradox pokemon actually are.

I've been wanting to talk ab the DLC too, I have so many ideas ab it but I've no idea if I'm right so potential spoiler warning of course! I feel like theres a lot of similarities between Kieren and the loyal 3 that make his arc look scary in the upcoming dlc. First off is both Kieren and the loyal 3 went looking for Ogrepon for no real reason, and while Kieren's intentions look good at the start, in the end he ends up choosing his own selfishness. Branching off for a sec, its said for each of the 3 as well that they desired more of themselves in one way or another, with the monkey wanting to become smarter, okidogi wanting to become bigger and scarier, etc. Whats interesting is it looks like they got that after they died? Their statues were very different to the pokemon you fight, so it seems being revived changed them. Taking all of that into account, Kieren's strong desire/wish to become stronger, the loyal 3 getting their "wishes" after being revived, and a pool that interacts with the dead in some way, I'm very worried for Kieren's safety :(

Thank you for both of these episodes 🙏 keep up with this format, its just perfect, so calm but still telling the whole story, perfection 😍

I agree on a lot of your DLC part 2 sppeculations! I personally wondered if the reason Kieran's punch resurrected the Lousy 3 was due to the intense jealousy he felt towards you and Carmine for meeting Ogerpon and "leaving him out", resonating with the three, as the pokemon themselves stole the masks out of greed and envy of Ogerpon and her friend's valuable masks. Their dex entries state that the toxic chain they each wear enhanced their own lacking traits which they yearned for respectively (Munkidori's desire for intelligence, Fezandipity's beauty, and Okidogi's power i think?). But it would be really interesting if there is more to it than that and he has some sort of latent power like you said! Also i love how you do your makeup, would you ever consider doing a wee tutorial on youtube shorts or something? ❤

I absolutely love your content! It’s so fun to watch and the vibe is super chill and relaxing. Keep up the awesome work 💙🤙🏼

Love all your RU-vid videos Arlie! They're just so well done. Shiny Diplin has caramel apple vibes

Kieran’s in his villain arc and I hate it cuz he was so nice and sweet but now he hates us 😭😭 I feel like they may have him interfere with the area zero work

stellar vid 10/10 would watch again

Great video!

yay new arlie! ✨️

Kieran arc in part 2 is gonna be interesting

I personally interpreted the moment with Carmine at the end as her attempting to tell you that they are about to return to their school and that your time together would come to an end. Well, for now.

the dlc is just Kierans Villain Origin story

Noooooo Arlieeee Ogerpon deserves the Friend Balllll

Dipplen is such a great Pokémon

In your defense that rock looked like a fucking snorlax 100%

Kieran's villain origin story for sure

I think the big battle on loyal 3's grave also a factor in waking them up

I was waiting for you to say how about them apples after beating this dlc 😔

I think the guy in the flashback with ogerpon is actually az from x/y. Would be a cool reference especially if his floette appears 😮

If you pay attention when Kieran punches the shrine, his fist is glowing purple. Maybe he could be under the influence of something sinister.

New Arlie video, yay

Another great video Arlie! I hope Kieran shaves his ‘stache and gets the therapy he needs in the next DLC 🎉

Hoping for a playthrough of the 2nd part and post DLC content. I liked your analysis of the story a lot!

I have a weird feeling briar is gonna bring back team plasma like how rainbow rocket was in gen 7. Since the DLCs are technically in unova. Briar could be scheming something cause imo she gives off ghetsis vibes....Maybe they could be related? and maybe carmine and kieran could be her pawns and she was gonna tell us after the final battle. But briar interrupted us and had to make up a reason why they had to leave. its a stretch but if it happens it'll be really insane.

Yo i just relised- The mask in Kieran's hands when he punched The Loyal Three monument was the Teal Mask right? On the signboard it talks about how it could turn grass into withered greenery around it, maybe it can also do the reverse and with the emotion or something in Kieran plus the Abilities of the mask resurrected The Loyal Three. But that's just a theory-

i absolutely love kieran hes so adorable and i felt so bad for him :(

I totally forgot about the people who passed away part. Professors definitely first thing to come to mind

I'm a fellow Apple fighter as well. Actually, I intend to do a whole big analysis series on the fruit and the Applin line. :)

ANOTHER APPLOAD LESGOOOO

I believe that Kieran won't be evil, I think he's misguided but I'm not sure!, I actually didn't notice how evil briar looked until this video lol! I guess we'll have to find out this winter.

I would love to see shiny slugma in this game!

I dont think it was the punch that woke up the Loyal Three so much as it was Kieran's strong desire to be Ogrepons friend or to get stronger. All of the Loyal Three have a deeper connection than the story itself lets on. All three of them have the toxic chain to enhance their abilities. I forget where, but it was mentioned that each of them had strong desires that were satisfied once they were given the chain, hinting at another pokemon behind them. Further evidence of the "mastermind" is the story art shows part of a 4th mon that is cut off on the border. This same pokemon can be seen as a carving I believe. Not entirely sure but i had a theory video on in the background while i was playing. BUT what I think is interesting is that the toxic chain gave the Loyal Three their poison typoing. So the 4th one is most likely poison type. The hints we have seen of it reminds me of Glimmora. Glimmora is ALSO a poison type AND can be found in great numbers in the bottom of Area Zero. Maybe its a coincidence but who knows

I'm pretty sure the thing Carmine wanted to say was that she was returning to Blueberry Academy. She says its kind of awkward to mention and brings up Briar saying "fast friends" so she was probably just sad she had to leave and was having trouble telling you. Briar gives me the vibe of someone who seems completely innocent and hasn't done anything to reveal any ill intent, yet theres just something off. Maybe the reason Carmine mentioned the legend of meeting dead people at the crystal pool is to give Briar a motive. She could be interested in talking with a deceased loved one and thinks Sada or Turos AI replica/crystal pool legend/terastalization is the key. The secret of Area Zero? DeAd PeOpLe!?!??!

Yayyyy!

How do you like them apples?

Just finished the last video, let's gooo

It should be illegal to have this much luck *and* skill. You're gonna become a legendary Pokémon if you're not careful. "Partyllerie - The Glitter Cannon Pokémon. Legends say this Pokémon was an ancient trainer who appeared in Hisui and transformed after accidentally biting into an Applin. Using her birthday confetti cannon, she can manipulate the RNG of the universe and change any Pokémon's color. She also takes the form of a streamer who surpasses Iono in subscriber count."

my theory for part 2 of the DLC is: mudkip. thats all. just mudkip.

oh the love i have for this silly apple

Look at the coloration under Kieran's hair, he has the same purple as the "Loyal" Three.

I have a feeling that treating Keiran the way we did is going to impact the Indigo Disk

you didnt do the ursaluna side quests?

What about the other teal mask story?

I personally really liked the DLC. Kieran's character development was awesome, and it was overall really fun! Also Arlie have you seen Eviolite works with Dipplin? It might just be a glitch, but it might mean something...

That’s a lot of apples 🍏 🍎

Next Pokémon channel to hit 100k subs definitely

I know I am a couple days late but I just rejoined scarlet and got the DLC because my new interest in VGC battles. That said I do read stories and love them, and was really thrown off and uncomfortable at times with the forced responses we had to reply with. I am really bummed Keiran seems to becoming a villain because I felt for him 100%, they made him overly edgy at the end and completely dumped some awesome character progression I was hoping for. With the punch waking the Loyal Three I assumed it was them recognizing a thump or something and got ready but I I can see where you are going with the Keiran interaction and am totally on that bandwagon now. Thanks for an awesome video! I've been looking for a little vent on this story haha

I feel like Briar’s gonna do a “Rose”.

Hey Arlie :) just wanted to let you know I discovered you recently and I loved your legends arceus content ! You are an underrated RU-vidr/streamer! :) keep up the great content! :)

Kinda sad that we didn't get to see your reaction to the blood moon beast

My problem with the DLC is yes you don't have to buy a third game but the best part of the new game is getting to start with a different team. When I'm seeing level 60 poocheyeana it kinda puts me off. I would love to use six new pokemon and level them up but i have to use my level 80 team from the base game, especially when they're are lvl 75 pokemon in the wild. And when you're paying for half a game I would like maybe a little more than an hour of story. I'm not sure if anyone feels the same but I have had a hard time enjoying Pokemon DLC. The only good part of the SW&SH DLC was getting able to catch the Legendaries. Hopefully the next part does a little more. IDK sorry for the rant

I know a lot of folk praise the main games story but personally i found it just alright. The dlc is better in that aspect imo. Carmine is a new favorite in the series. Also looking forward to Kieran and Briar

Oh my god, a prophet 27:39

I told you you would blow up!

Therapy vibes lol

27:45 cannot believe she predicted this XD

Very interesting story - I feel quite bad for Kieran, but also he way lost his shit over it. but given his family life seems to be the older sister being controlling - probably the straw that broke the camels back, and we are caught in the crossfire? Also would be interested to see you do the blood moon event too, if you have done it 😉

my boy carter's an irl elite 4 member

You dont choose to be edgleord. My chemical romance and AFI choose for you.

Applin SWEEP incoming

Hi Arlie 😍

*spoilers* Not Arlie getting the professor gettin' screen time again in the crystal pool right

🍏

If dipplin doesn't change to a bug Dragon when it evolves we all rage

100th comment let’s gooo! :D

Love paid DLC for a game that still lags 😂

🍎🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎

I thought Carmine wanted to tell me she was in love with me 😅

From the first time I saw ms briar I was like ‘nah she sus’. Also, I’m all for Kieran’s villain arc. Man was done wrong

The drama in this DLC for pokemon games should be a CRIME

I see nothing but a cinnamon roll with a buncha green apples. Thought this was suppose to be the end of the DLC

The DLC fixed some of the issues (we cant talk about] but still runs poorly. Also, the storyline makes you feel like a bad person. Pokemon is sucessful despite the devs.

Kind of wish I was the teal mask DLC and arlie would beat the shit outta me.

im so sad because you cant use gen 3 starters in s/v yet ):
