I Played Pokémon as a Champion that Lost

I like this character. Putting essentially a genwunner into the games that diverge the most from the formula is brilliant

Alternative title: Boomer goes to Hawaii and gets attacked by aliens.

"I will crush your dreams because mine matter more" you boiled down the entire pokemon franchise story in a single sentence right there

“20 years ago, I was 9 so I don’t know what you are on about.” - Grungy Boi 2023 New favorite quote unlocked

The next Champion Orange playthrough should be him ending up sent back in time to Hisui, but he thinks he's at some kind of historical reenactment camp and everyone is just *really* dedicated to the part, before slowly realizing he's actually trapped back in time.

To be fair Blue was like “To you, that was the most humiliating day of your life. But to me, it was a Tuesday.”

“I do not like you” “I do not care” I love how Orange and Grunty Boi interact, I can’t wait to see more of Orange

I hope Orange can return and see Dynamax, Megas, and Tera types. “Back in my day, Pokemon stayed the types they were!”

This is the most creative execution of the ‘genwunner plays modern pokemon’ concept I’ve seen

"20 years ago, I was 9, so I don't know what you're on about." I don't know why that sent me into a laughing fit.

‘Why is the lizard sexy?’ and the Gladion wrist problems had me rolling on the floor laughing 🤣

When Orange said "considering the fate of multiple world are at stake, I can use potions " at 53:32 made me laugh

I think it would be hilarious to see Orange in Galar. Constantly getting undermined by the npcs to do the important things with, "just focus on your challenge", and "nah, we don't recognize you as a previous champion, but the current one will give you a letter to give it a shot".

Mikey's storytelling and acting is amazing. Being a parody of genwunners without necessarily being abrasive to either side is an accomplishment. Of course, Orange is still arrogant, but not gratingly so.

He is SO out of the loop, it's hilarious. Watching him be so confused about everything is amazing. One of my favorite characters.

I love how into character Micheal gets, genuinely sounds like a tired 40 year old and its perfect

I’m starting a petition for Team Sky to venture into Unova. It’s honestly a perfect next step on his journey as a…team. The towns and cities are named after clouds, there’s such a diverse cast of flying types in the region, and I think his interactions with Team Plasma could allow him to grow more as a character!

I just imagine the leader of Team Sky is all like, "Where's my Zapdos?!" and goes on a quest to take it back from Orange.

I wanna see Orange in Paldea with a Paldean Tauros ace💀 “Back in my day champions weren’t so WEAK” “Why am I going to school? I’M 40!”

21:51 “IT’S A NEW YORKER??” had me dying lmao

Does anyone want to see Michael play DnD? His ability to play characters and stick to them is unbelievable and I personally would LOVE to see a campaign with him and PM7 sometime in the future.

You're one of the few people who treat Pokemon as an actual role playing game, and it's so refreshing and fun. It's not something I do myself but so fun to watch.

That last little bit about therapy, imagine Orange, Grunty Boi, Mikey, Team Sky, and Team Night Sky all going to go group counseling sessions.

Since this new character is, essentially, a genwunner, it would've been real funny to see him use a psychic type (because it was so op in gen 1) and be SHOCKED that ghost types are super effective against psychic now

"Back in my day, dragons were dragons, not trees," What a quote.

Mikey's Orange missed quite alot in 20 years. Imagine him in Paldea to learn the new mechanics! Or maybe go to Kalos to learn more about Mega Evolution after seeing it for the first time in Alola?

Orange: frequently refers to Hoenn things such as double battles as things from back in his day Also Orange: "Back in my day, we didn't eat berries!"

Okay, I love this! For many reasons! First, 39:40. Very few people actually know about this, so it’s great to see it. Second, your nod to Team Sky, and how that Mikey WILL be upset by the Ultra Wormholes (27:04). Third, your nods to the postgame. Hope Orange won’t freak out too much by seeing his old successors again. EDIT: 1:09:10 …Well, I should have expected that! 😅

I love Gunty Boi’s interactions with the new characters. And he’s not taking anything form this guy this time, he just said ‘Shut up’.

I love how his reaction to "shiny" Grimer is the exact same as my reaction to finding 4 "shiny" Hippopotas and Hippowdon that suspiciously had no sparkles

21:47 this is my favourite part just him screaming “It’s a New Yorker!?” Just makes me laugh.

21:54 "IT'S A NEWYORKER!!" Caught me off guard, funny

I love that we’re approaching a point where Grunty Boi will have been in more videos than any other version of Mikey, including the original

Hau: If people and their pokemon get along, they can do anything together. Orange: I WILL CRUSH YOUR DREAMS CHILD, YOU WILL TASTE NO VICTORY, NOT TODAY!

Orange: IM THE ONLY ONE WITH A LEGENDARY!! Lillie, Paul and Sada/Turo: •_•

This was so fun, I hope we see more of Orange in the future. I think he'd have a real fun time in Hisui or something. Tried going "back to his day" and kind of overshot it a little bit lol

To be fair that child who defeated you was one of the very few people in the world with a last name. Do not mess with those.

How does Mikey always have the best and most creative ideas for playthroughs??!

It's time to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions. Which game will the miltank playthrough be in?

5:17 "shut up." Grunty boy ain't playing around 💀

The “do I need therapy?” at the end was glorious

So at this point, we have three gym leaders, a champion, an evil team, and a professor for the Mikeyverse region.

I love that Mikey has such unique personalities and stuff for all his personas including different ages. Orange is 40 and Grunty Boy is 29 I wonder how old the rest are

"My diglet turned into Hanson" is no lie, the funniest thing ive heard all year

1:50 Side note: "Mom" is the Alolan world for land lady 4:58 Grunty Boi, you can't just explain to a fourty-year old what a anime game is. You'll just confuse him.

I feel like all these themed playthroughs are the spiritual successors to Pokemon Talk. They really showcase Mikey's talent for creating hilarious characters and dialogue. I laughed so hard at so many points of this video. They never fail to entertain!

Considering the amount of poke tubers out there, I genuinely appreciate the way mandjtv comes up with original ideas

5:15 Orange: Ok now listen here hooligan- Grunty boi: *shut up*

Hah, a genwunner being plunked into Alola, I love it. Let's welcome Champion Orange, not only into the Hall of Fame, but also into the MandJTV cinematic universe! Friggin' love how creative Mikey gets coming up with these, too. :)

I like that while he is a genwunner, he appreciates most of the changes and especially his Pokémon. Primarina is "a great idea" It's cute.

I think the shiny Grimer joke has to be my favorite. The 1 in 8000 part cracked me up!

I swear Michael doing these characters in a one hour episode is the best content on RU-vid right now.

I love the choice of Orange because it’s the complimentary color of blue (whom he has the most hate towards) which means they’re on opposite ends of the color wheel. Possibly unintentional but I like it

I didn't think a genwunner OC would be funny but here we are 😂

Right! I feel personally attacked! 😂 I played Red, Gold and Fire Red when they came out, then didn't touch a Pokemkn Game until Ultra Sun. This was literally me!!!😂😂😂

me today: >wake up >watch mandjtv >go out >start watching this >come back >leave this on since 9am >watch mandjtv until the end of day >go back on phone and finish this video around 9 hours later

7:35 I like the touch that Orange doesn’t realize that shiny odds were boosted

"You know what? I do not like you." "Wow, I don't care." Grunty Boi has earned his Sigma Certificate

I love this new character and when he said "what is Fairy?" got me laughing a bit.

The “Do I need therapy?” At the end had me dying

This whole character is performed so well, the speech and the confusion of a 40 year old is epic

"Ever heard of champion Orange?" "No, but I have heard of a champion Red, champion at only age 11, what a talented guy." "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

Me, trying to count how many times he said ‘Back in my day’:…….

I love how grunty boi is just done with all the other mi(c)keys

"It's a velociraptor covered in paper plates" had me dying

Can we talk about the fact that of all the Legendaries he could have found in that specific wormhole, he got one of, if not the only Legend that Blue is known to use?(Blue uses a Zapdos as a Neo Champion in Masters EX) It was such an amazing and amusing coincidence. LOL!!!!

"Now you listen here hooligan" "Shut up"🤣

I've rewatched this like 4 times. A true work of comedy.

Orange: Back in my day we didn’t have Pokémon that were household objects! Magnemite: *cries in being forgotten*

After proving himself I think Orange should relax and go on a world tour. I heard of this great place called Galar that apparently also has some kind of big pokemon. They're pretty strict at border control so he might have to leave his team behind but apparently there's lots of pokemon there that'll remind him of home. One weirdo even said the legendary birds are there but I don't think so, he said Zapdos runs around on the ground which is ridiculous and clearly Orange already caught it, but either way it sounds like a nice place. At least there shouldn't be any world ending threats occurring.

Bro when he said " Is gladions Mom guzma?" I almost died in my seat

Let's play a game. Take a shot when Mikey says "Back in my days" and "it's different, but..."

“Back in my day bug types weren’t good!” Had me dying lol

OMG these characters you come up with are just so funny. I love Orange’s reaction to Grunty Boi. “You’re… what… huh!?!” 😂 Very hilarious.

At one point, I didn't play pokemon for about 8 or 9 years, and please believe this is exactly how it went for me in gen 8. I had no idea what was going on.

Back in my day is just the old man version of “Erm actually-“

Please play as this character more, he has such a cool storyline, and maybe you can make him go to other regions to prove himself as a worthy trainer and maybe even come back to kanto as the last region

4:54 Gruntyboi: *"I'm hear to promote the sponsor of this video"* Orange: *_*Visible and Audible Confusion_**

''Back in my day'' Is the most legendry words ever spoken

Orange: “You took everything from me!” Blue: “I don’t even know who you are.”

Michael's new characters being increasingly confused by Grunty Boy is my favorite thing.

Mikey is definitely a theater kid, the amount of dedication of his characters is so much fun. All of them very unique and recognizable identities

I love how he could have just done a “I can only use gen 1 pokemon” run but instead decided to get in character for it

I like the “back in my day….” Like how my parents always do 😂

This nonsensical backstory is pretty funny. I feel like Gruny Boi channeled Mikey's energy on that "Shut up!" Like John was just about to tell him he found the fifth unboosted odds shiny in his SV game while filming. In less than 10 minutes

As a 36-year old guy who is only a couple of years away from 40, this really hits differently and I love it :D

Orange against one of the fake gym leaders from your other playthroughs is gonna be insane

We need a video where Mikey, leader of team sky, leader of team night sky, and Orange meet up. ( Including grunty boy). And have a big battle to see who is the best version of Mikey.

Drinking game: take a shot every time Orange says “Back in my day”

"Now listen here hooligan" "Shut up" had me rolling lmfaooo

"Now listen here, hooligan" "Shuddup" I don't know where Grunty Boi got that sass, but I like it!

I just checked your channel today. congrats on 1M subscribers

I love the implication that the Mikeys are working together on this channel and making sure to leave notes for new guys since they know they won't be in whatever video the new guy is in. I wonder if one day they'll clue in to Grunty Boy's omnipresence and have him tell the new Mikeys what's going on? Thank you for making this video! :D

I would love to see Orange go to Paldea and see him go to Naranja Academy and learn about Terastalisation, Paradox Pokémon, and how there are multiple Champions instead of just one Champion. And imagine how he would react to the existence of Blueberry Academy too?

Personally, I’d love to see skits on your main channel revolving around the characters you create here.

1 million subs, congratulations! Now you have two golden Play Buttons, which is two more than me

This is actually crazy to think about because if Mikey is right either there is a champion we never met or there's an elite four members who got fired after blue won and Lance was demoted to elite 4

Given how strong Tauros was in gen 1, I'd like to think Orange had one as his ace.

4:58 What's the question here Orange, this is the most normal thing in the world.
