Dragon city deez

did you switch out to your stunt double for that sponsor cause it sounded really different

No

sugma

its so dramatic i find it so funny lmaooo

“Where can I learn this power?”

Lol I thought that to

It actually startled me when he started it. Like, he’s formal and calm until suddenly…you know what’s NOT HARD TO SEE?

I'm honestly scared of his tone during this sponsored segment

Super Mystery Dungeon gets slept on but it did post game content even better in some ways. It gives you a clear goal of befriending all the Pokemon and the postgame content is even better with each legendary being its own boss fight.

Agreed those were the best

This was my childhood

To this day I haven't completed blue rescue team yet. Not that I play it much nowadays but man that game is huge

@@zoruasnivy Super is still my all time fav game

And Fight to the Finish in Dialga's fight 👌🏼

ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDTRACKS

the crystal cave theme makes me feel things I've never felt before

I legit almost tear up every time I hear the soundtrack. OfflineTV uses the songs in their group videos a lot, and it always makes me happy

"Circles"

It also has the best final showdown between all three games in my opinion.

T O U C H T H E B I D O O F

My favorite too together with explorers. Gen 4 was just so damn good!

I remember that I completely fucked up my touchscreen with this game as a kid

I remember struggling so hard to beat Dialga and then when I finally did, getting to that final scene and just bawling. The little extra episodes were incredibly amazing as well, the one that I remember the most is the one where you play as Grovyle as the future is fixed and disappears. Heart. Breaking. "While I live, I want to shine. I want to prove that I exist. If I could do something really important... That would definitely carry on into the future."

@@reaganl.607 when grovyle drags dusknoir with him?i can't remember much

@@dopiestmonkey yes

Don't Ever Forget! And I know what you mean, I getcha ^^ This game holds such a special place in my heart for so many reasons!

@@jellycore1316 literally have a clip of this song as my phones ring tone! It’s such a good song!

finished explorers of time recently & yea big tears

@@brewskimckilgore6796 I fully agree, you should try out Sky whenever you have a chance cus they added more content in there then Time and Darkness UwU

@@brewskimckilgore6796 bruh play Explorers of Sky. If you cried during Time, you'll bawl your eyes out at Sky lol.

I've played every single Mystery Dungeon game, and I think every single one made me cry. The only one that might be the exception would be Gates to Infinity but that's mostly because I don't remember what the story was.

Rangers series is good too

Honestly, true. Even Ultra Necrozma didn't match Primal Dialga for me. And Primal Dialga didn't even need doubled stats for this.

@@gengarzilla1685 ?? Primal dialga didn’t come along until much later

@@tobymacdonald5893 It did I think your thinking of Origin Dialga

bro CRYSTAL CAVE makes me feel every emotion ive ever felt at the same time

Darkrai is simply the drippiest Pokémon ever and the darkrai movie slaps! I watched it many times.

Yeah, the games are pretty easy they're still just pure fun to me tbh, it's literally just you making friends with other pokemon and that's wholesome af

Haha, I was pretty young when I played pokepark, so I remember some parts being difficult. 😂 I remember in some tag games, you actually had to have strategy, and decide how you need to cut a super fast pokemon off. It probably would be super easy for me to play now, but at the time, I absolutely loved it.

They aren't mid lmao

Even if they haven't aged the best, I can never hate the Pokepark series. Will always have nostalgia for that series, would love it if they made a 3rd one

@@diabeticman2194 same man

Definitely agree. I've been hungry for a Pokemon game to have as good of a story for like well over a decade now. I think that little bit of hope that it can be done again is all that keeps me going with the series at some times

This is just factual

No no, trust me, i have to yet find someone that dislike explorer of sky in all the internet. The game is just too good

Explorers of Sky is by far the best Pokemon game Story and Music-wise. Its hard to compare it to the mainline games or a lot of the other spin offs tho because the mainline has always been pretty much the same form generation to generation with not a too big focus on the story, more focus on battles, exploring and catching pokemon. The spin offs are just all over the place genre-wise so its basically impossible to compare all to all

@@ydraid IGN reviewers

same, but with Sky. absolutely beautiful game, first introduction to pokemon games. needless to say, my favourite pokemon is grovyle.

Blue & sky were amazing.

Started with Red and fell in love. After Sky they ruined it. So keep on back and forth between now gx (gameboy died) and sky.

Bro when your partner started crying after you cleared the dungeon( I'm being vague incase anyone that hasn't played it). The complete grief you saw

I've listen to it so often that it kinda lost it's effect just becouse of how great the music is.

Bro why you gotta make me cry like that

Rescue team, stadium, colosseum.

Pokemon Unite

Its absolutely awful hated it as soon as I saw it.

@@AdamDawson3 a bit bold to publicly announce you have bad taste, but good for you

@@AdamDawson3 that would be tragic if you werent blind

It’s one of the few games I’ve hit 999:59 hours in. It was such a good game

I disagree. It definitely gets old.

play emerald for story lmfao

While it has a myriad of problems, including the storytelling, it has a few things many other Pkmn games don't in the story department. First thing first, the big villain is not evil. Rose doesn't have some random grand scheme to become god/judge and executioner, he has a Savior complex which is refreshing and interesting for Pokémon, even BW fell into the "evil mastermind" pitfall. There a few other good things here and there. Not saying it has an amazing story or anything remotely close to that (outside pkmn main line games this is just terrible), but it does have interesting things here and there when you stop playing with complaining eyes. I particularly like how it contributed to the whole "Titans theory"

The game was so bad I literally dropped my love of pokemon completely and it wasn't until I started walking and my headphones broke that I re-downloaded pokemon go and got back in

@@nuredingeziqi679 Okay but the fact that rose wasn't evil doesn't make it better, actually its worse because he almost has no clear motivation for anything he does, its like they didn't want to give him an actual personality to work off of. Between that, the fact that half of the plot happens off screen with Leon just taking care of it, the whole thing just doesn't work. I will say they had some interesting character moments for both Hop and Sonia, but since the plot revolves around Leon (oh i get lost isnt that so funny haha) and Rose(again he has no reason to do anything he did, he could've just waited one day), it just feels worse that I have to deal with those two bozos

@@Calmasis_1025 But about the Rose stuff that's on you. The dude has for once an interesting idea beneath his actions that explains what he thinks on a more profound level than most villain in the series. The Saviour complex identifies perfectly what he does and why he sees the situation as such a high priority. It's like complaining that a victim falling in love with their aggressor and having Stoccolma Syndrom feels like the author couldn't bother to write a compelling way to make that love bloom. Again the problems are absolutely there with Leon especially and how he resolves everything off screen (it's as if in Sinnoh Cynthia came and you just skipped the bomb lake parts of the game because she was there to fix everything) and he could have had a much more compelling character besides his pokémon skill. But I'm not even talking about him. Overall Swoshi gave its characters a bit more of a decent psychological background and evolution, mainly Hop and Rose which of course are basic shit in most stories, but are not to be taken for granted in Pokémon. I'd say Hop is one of the best written characters in the series, up there with characters like N and Bianca in B/W. It's basically Barry but actually decent with motivation, a decent arc and a cool conclusion where Barry just soldiers on *almost* unfazed. They even have someone related to them who is extremely strong and high profile in the region but Barry never brings up how expectation might be for him and no one seems to know nor care, whereas Hop actually has very interesting stuff to say. I insist on this, Rose and especially Hop are two of the best things in Swoshi

I see a fellow pokemon conquest fan, literally one of my favorite games of all time to the point where I broke the "Law" to play it more.

As a Conquest fan... I don't want a Conquest 2 solely because Koei Tecmo has had a BAD track record these past few years. I simply don't trust them to make a good sequel.

My mom bought it randomly, and I'm Canadian, so the game was not sold here. So that means someone returned it and I'm very happy about it, since it became my favorite game of all time.

Scrolled down to see a conquest comment. I wish it would come back

I've spent so many hours playing conquest. I friggin love that game

thank you for mentioning my rom hack lmfao?? it's planned to come out this month or early next

Really? What are the best romhacks? I still play Conquest to this day, i love that game.

@@angeloparavella3017 the current existing rom hacks (that I know of) is Reconquered which adds new pokemon, and Hard Mode Plus which has some move differences and an increase in difficulty and then there's my own unreleased one (changing that soon hopefully) which is a difficulty and rebalancing hack

I'll have to give this a shot, always bothered me how Vaporeon was clearly just better than the other Eeveelutions in that game

I need this. Conquest is 1000% my most played game over the years and multiple devices, including on computer. I need to get more Pokémon in there, cuz it sounds awesome.

Mystery dungeon

Legends Arceus gets pretty mature too, and in Super Mystery Dungeon everyone you love literally goes to Hell.

CONQUEST IS THE CONBEST

Conquest is absolutely amazing. If only it had better UI design outside the battles, it totally would have been a series of its own.

I didn't get Conquest on release but I got it at GameStop for about $20 or so in 2015 and man. That game is awesome. Glad I got it when I did. So much fun and such a good story

Shiny hunting was definitely fun, also having to farm for pokemon to trade for legendaries, though some were tough, like Darkai, or Mewtwo, but at least while you were hunting, you could probably find a shiny, and the best part was that those were guaranteed capture and had a special ability. 😎

What about Rumble Blast on the 3DS? I loved that game!

Though I only played it once, I definitely enjoyed Rumble on the Wii! The multi-player was a very fun aspect.

i have the full game got it off a guy

@@jonathanunova2856 i still play it

Same! It's just such a comfy game to go back to occasionally 😄

as a 30 year old man i love pokepark

Same! Never played the 2nd though because the games are so expensive now, maybe could emulate it

i am a certified pokepark wii appreciator (2 is meh i mostly just like 1 id like a 3rd but id prefer it to take a little bit more from the first with things like having more attractions and whatnot. id also say just trim the playable cast back down to just pikachu but ig having others is fine too) , iagree with basically all of this. grew up with the first game and have beaten it nearly 20 times over with a 100% complete file on my current copy, and at this point i think this game is so deeply burned into my memory i dont think there's anything i DON'T know about this game

P sure most people that have played it loved it do not sure about underrated

I think they might be underrated only in the sense that Glicke mentions, in that not everyone has played them. I am sure there's like only a 1% category that has played em but not loved em

easily, and it's not even a contest. explorers, to be specific.

boi i remember stealing from kekleon bro. went on the mat, didnt realize i picked up an item cause i wasnt paying attention. then i walked off and refused to pay cause in my head, i aint get no item so wtf am i paying for..... bro decided to beat my ass that shit was terrifying

No, those games are a chore to play through

GtI also has a phenomenal soundtrack, legit don't think there's been a single miss in the franchise music wise

Fittingly the main villain of DR would love the concept of Mystery Dungeons.

yeah the story and the music was good, but the gameplay oh god its so boring. Made me quit explorers of the sky early

@@kingpig8732 Hard disagree, dungeon exploration in this game had enough variety of pokémon and layouts to keep the gameplay engaging imo. It was repetitive sure but it was fun and challenging as well

@@kingpig8732 Fair enough, I never had an issue with the game feeling repetitive but that's up to personal preference at that point

Yup, those are probably the best. After that, it's SoA. All the Pokemon spinoffs are good games, except for maybe the remake of MD on Switch.

brooo yes

And i felt that it was such a compelling story too, even though im biased since i havent played it i over 6 years.

I haven’t played the original but I really loved the battle mechanics in pokepark 2!

the battle tournament in pokepark 2 felt like elden ring though

I’ve must’ve replayed pokepark 2 like 15 times

Seconding Pokemon Conquest. The Gen 1 of Mystery Dungeon had a super cool vibe but Conquest had some super intense moments

Conquest was the only video game i had for years, so many fond memories of that game. I third it for all of its amazing ckntent and the memories that come with it.

I think the first "story" of conquest was really good as well as some of the post game ones, but a lot of the stories are really repetitive and made completing the game more of a chore. I think the foundation of the game is really solid though and I'd love to see them iterate on it (which is unfortunately very unlikely).

Agree

There’s a whole ass community for Pokémon conquest And it’s way smaller than it should be Game is not talked about enough

While the circle drawing would be hard, I think pokemon legends arceus is a pretty base if you took out the actual battles

Lets all agree to agree If you disagree then i disagree your disagreement (that was a mouthful lol)

Yep

I prefer conquest personally

Agreed i played the time version but i am sure sky is equally good as time even it can be better than time i never played it

Na I think supers better sky is really good though

I loved Pokepark. I remember doing some mew chase and I literally couldn't beat it as a kid and I threw my wii remote LOL

Pokepark 1 also has 3d battling. The games share the same core of course but 2 is way more polished in my opinion, the only better thing 1 does are some area designs.

Yeah I've played the duology multiple times, it's a very fun and laidback/cozy experience. IMO saying its "for babies" is a cringe take. Lots of people love it because they like cozy games.

The first one definitely felt aimed at a younger audience even when I WAS the younger audience but it was genuinely cool being able to control a 3D Pokemon

Yah something feels off with how fast he dismissed it, I would claim he didn’t play the whole game

Cragspur’s drums hit different

The Sky Temple theme is an insane bop. Literally my only complaint about the game is the reused character models for the warriors you can recruit. Like if each recruitable warrior had its own unique model, the game would be a real 10/10.

Gotta say, after hearing how tough Pugilis was from Oichi, the intro really set the scene for a tough battle

Pokemon Duel SLAPPED I was so sad when I found out they discontinued it

Yessssss

Honestly! I was so upset we never got an end to the campaign and then that they took the servers down.

I really loved Pokémon Duel. I was also F2P and did take well in ranked, though I'm not sure where I peeked. It was extremely satisfying clapping players with teams of super rare figures with my starter Pokémon and Shuppets

@@ejstephens7918 Ah the good ol' Shuppet Dodge and Dash

The only thing that's missing is him saying "wideo".

Really hope they will remake explores especially with that shiny celebi in Rescue Team DX hinting at it.

I like Colosseum’s music more but Gale of Darkness has more content. Love them both.

@@JimboMarsh I am fully ready to admit that I haven't heard all of Colosseum music, but at the very least I strongly prefer the XD Miror B. Theme. The Colosseum one is pretty good, but XD is so funky and such a sweet jam that I can't even compare them personally.

@@blakeslone9820 Yeah Miror B.’s theme is great in both but I personally think Colosseum’s overall soundtrack is better. Check it out when you can.

@@blakeslone9820 Miror B's Col. theme fit his Ludicolo. Miror B's XD theme fits *him*

I love both colo and gale of darkness, but gale has to be my all time favorite as those are some fond memories I shared with my father

I miss PoDu but its crazy to think back to how quickly power creep ruined that game

@@67kingdedede same as the TCG. I still had fun til the end though. Never stopped using my Jolteon team😂

ngl duel was a bit p2w for me (i bought kyurem as my last pokemon before it got shutdown)

Red Rescue Team & Blue Rescue Team are fantastic and their remake game Mystery Dungeon DX I love Explorers of Time, Darkness & Sky and also Gates To Infinity.

I played the crap out of the Rumble demo on Wii, I would do it over and over with my friends

i really loved the music!!!

Unite is Not pay to win at all.

@@michawkwalter4205 Unite is more so a switch game that was ported to mobile since it came out on the switch first

Pokemon Masters EX is also one of the most official ways for mainline characters to get their own story closure if you care about the story in Pokemon. Still kinda dissapointed that USUM is considered to be the canon one, but i still like Lusamine's event. All 3 N's event proves that DeNa is biased towards Gen 5, because they're the most action packed event.

never too old for pokemon

Ranger and Snap were cool because you got to see some actual behavior from wild Pokémon besides “oh look a trainer better fight em”

you can even make guardian signs or shadows of almia harder if you are looking for a challenge if you don't upgrade your styler

I did have plenty of fun with Guardian Signs even if personally it didn't match Sky. My sister and I have fond memories of playing through so much of the multiplayer story with Luxray and Drapion, two of some of our favourite Gen 4 Pokémon respectively.

I'm like the very rare type of people who doesn't like Shadows of Almia instead i like Pokemon Rangers (the very first one) the most since it was so challenging every time i played it and i replayed it like about 10 times or so as far as i can remember, Shadows of Almia didn't play that much since i didn't like the whole rating thing that would appear after every single capture (sorry, not sorry) but the Guardian Signs was pretty good and i liked the story mode a lot 🙂

I only played Guardian Signs but I really like the game and bought a copy for my friend and his sister. In part because I wanted to do the multiplayer which was amazing. One of my favorite boss fights was beating deoxy with my friend (Couldn't get his sister to play sadly) All the boss fights that I remember were really good both in the multiplayer and the actual story.

full agree, gs is the best one

There's nothing on there that can even think about beating the first dewgong of Loralei. Atleast emerald kaizo is possible 🤷‍♀️

PPL for life! A lot of fun memories in college once my roommate brought his N64 up and we both became good enough to win on s.hard

felt,, it brings me so much joy when its mentioned

*laughs in Guardian Charms* Seriously though, give a single warrior a Guardian Charm and you can then fight your foes with double attack and defense, as well as extra range. It’s seriously OP.

@@Hadaron I have never gotten the Guardian Charm lol.

Never played that any good.

I put a Ar for the wii in and Pokemon Revolution didn't want to work, then I realized I put it in upside and backwards. So atleast you didn't pull that.

LOL
