I Replaced Catching Pokemon with Buying Them 

Pokemon Capitalism Version

Personally I would've taken Zigzagoon for Pick-Up, easy, well easier, money. Then would've just hoped for a Meowth for Payday.

"Drake's never been a pushover, at least in Pokemon" -PM7 John

John: 'If I know anything about adults, they have money' my broke ass barely scraping by day to day: 'ah damn it guess I'm not an adult...'

5:32 bro wtf… “ KAKUNA I DONT CARE HOW HARD TOU GET ITS NOT GONNA HELP YOU… pause.”

Money is usually so trivial in Pokemon, so this idea is sick!

5:31 this truly is a great moment out of context

“I don’t care how hard you get, it’s not gonna help you here” - PM7 June 26th 2024

$15000 for a baby pokemon....that tracks (at least here in the states).

11:23 "First it was butterfree and then it was a shiny and poof 15.000$ igglybuff " - PM7 2024. is my favorite part XD

I NEED to play this! As a kid, my first interaction with Pokémon was watching the show and seeing some girl pick up a Pokeball from a shop. So my childhood brain went, you get Pokémon by buying them! Now this has become a reality. I gotta try this.

“Pokémon, But it’s Pay to Win”

This just in, a mysterious, yet very charming trainer keeps beating up random wealthy citizens for money for well known scammers who sell innocent hostage Pokémon. More on hoenn news at 2.

4:53 did… did that guy just steal Roxanne’s Pokémon and sell it to John ? 😅😅😅

1:06 Should've consulted Mikey before buying slugma😅

29:44 DISMANTLE ON A LEGENDARY FIRE USER?! THATS GOTTA BE INTENTIONAL

“You’re poor?” Is the funniest line in the video

5:30 "Kakuna" It's true that "I don't care how hard you get" is my favorite line.

Pokemon Mr.Beast Edition😂😂😂

Not even a minute in and PM7 always finds a way to get a frog on the team

Doesn't the interviewer effectively give you infinite money once you have Fly? Unless this game adjusted that. And you normally get Amulet coin after Norman. And you should have the ability to rematch by then as well

1:43 I love how John acts like a gold-digger in this clip lol.

Pokemon: microtransactions

20:14 almost sounded like he was about to start an ad read for like Hello Fresh lol

Love the video PM7! Never seen a pokemon game like this before, definitely might have to try it out! Also, please make a series with Mandjtv for Cobblemon! Leave a like if PM7 & Mandjtv should make a Cobblemon series!!

The fact that we don't get to play this is BLASPHEMY I love this so much

9:28 MURKROW SQUAD RISE UP

8:28 as an adult I can attest that no, we do not have money 😂

5:32 “Kakuna i don’t care how hard you get it’s not gonna help you here” - PM7, 2024

22:01 don't call my boy an overgrown mushroom

5:33 Sad to hear that John and Kakuna are having relationship problems

30:43 even PM7 is roasting Drake 💀💀

Mikey has Vietnam flashbacks from Slugma in his no catching Pokemon in HGSS

5:36 the fact that you had slugma made that so much better

"I need you to have all the money in the world, like all of it."

Love how he unintentionally beat it with a half-Flying type team. Go Team Sky!🎉

5:32 pause

Rich boy Winston casually just having a shiny

Imagine spending 1,000 dollars on a Rayquaza, that would be a w

You know what would be interesting? An only mystery Pokemon run in this. The only non-mystery Pokemon you would get to keep is your starter

Something that could be an interesting challenge run with this, assuming the mystery pokemon aren't the same every time: "I can only use mystery pokemon". If you use a random number generator to choose your starter then you can use it past the first gym (if you even want to do that), but besides that you can only use pokemon bought from the mystery pokemon man

You know this reminds me of how in the early design phases for pokemon you'd have to buy them from shops rather than catch them. Neat seeing how that might have played out in a rom hack.

Personal lore for this is that becoming a Pokemon Trainer became so popular that it led many Pokemon to become scarce in their natural habitat. Catching Pokemon yourself now requires a proper license and most routes are protected land so that the native species can thrive. Owning a Pokemon does not require one of these, but to remove them from their natural habitat you MUST be authorized by the Pokemon League to do so. Of course, the company behind Pokemarts immediately jumped on this and began selling Pokemon directly to trainers. Pokeballs used to be their best sellers, and after the heavy limitations on Pokemon catching, they found themselves dropping rapidly in profits. As evidenced by the casino, selling Pokemon has never been illegal, it was just always more profitable to sell the balls themselves and to allow trainers to do the work. Now that catching Pokemon requires extensive testing, training and licensing, very few people have access to actually catching Pokemon, and prices were able to be manipulated by their scarcity, allowing for prices to jump. The mart never stopped selling Pokeballs, they are just unauthorized to sell them to unlicensed trainers.

5:30 “kakuna I dont care how hard you get” this is honestly my favorite line

My favorite pm7 quote “ I don’t care how hard you get 🔥”

20:33-20:43 had me laughing my caboose off😂

“I dont care how hard you get Kakuna… Pause✋”😂😂😂

5:31 🤣 out of context not only is this funny, but you literally did what dashiegames does during his videos where he says something and then goes “pause” from time to time, so this is just so funny! ^^

“A mystery Pokémon.It could be anything! It could even be a good Pokémon!” Famous last words

I wasn’t ready for the “PAUSE” joke. Had to desperately hold in my laughter so I didn’t wake the baby 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

20:35 😂 he mentioned saving pretty penny and ends up spending them lol

John is now in debt

15000$ igglybuff carried this run 😂 this is a great concept, if this rom is available I'd like to play it sometime 😊

You are underappreciateing Smeargle 12:43, it can learn any move by Sketch which is fun. Also, I would have gotten Articuno (my favorite Kanto Legendary Bird) instead of Shelgon.

The nickname on that Jolteon is so good it should be illegal.

Now I really miss Battle Frontier style battles. This idea to me has those vibes. And if you ran it, people can buy pokemon at a Lilly Pan Shop (Lily pad and pon) A stretch I know

I wish we could play this rom hack, but the dev stated it was just for PM7 😢

That's just how it is in gatcha. Sometimes you get a 5 star ultra rare shiny Gardevoir, sometimes you get a 3 stat common sunkern.

5:32 “hold up, what you mean by that?“

Someone call up Jack so he can come point and laugh at John paying 15000 for an Igglybuff

Pokémon but the American economy

btw in the hall of fame the way your team is layed out 33:05

9:37 No hat,no rizz

You and Mikey should bring back the metronome nuzlockes

Pokemon capitalism edition?

PM7 really throwing strays at drake 😂😂😂

Man I'm realizing how much I missed the little animations when a pokemon is sent in...

Alternate title: Pokémon but Capitalism

yay i love these vids especially when i am eating 😋

This is such a funny and makes me feel like Team go rocket grunt buying pokemon

14:59 I'm absolutely such a devoted fan of this specific pokemon that your video in an instant went from good to great after you chose that particular team member!! That was money well spent for sure.

PM7 FANS CAN LIKE THIS COMMENT

5:31 out of context not only is this funny, but you literally did what dashiegames does during his videos where he says something and then goes “pause” from time to time, so this is just so funny! ^^

8:24 First Mikey, now John talking about child labor Also I think John might’ve been given money from Team Sky, he ended the video with 3 flying types lol

i’m absolutely loving these romhack videos, but that’s not saying much when all of your content is top tier lol

In less than a minute, PM7 consistently manages to include a frog in the team.

“I don’t care how hard you get” is crazy without context 💀

Need more need more need more! everytime John uploads a new video the day gets a little bit brighter :D

This is the most American Pokemon game I've ever seen, and yet funnily enough, buying Pokemon was originally planned when Red and Blue were first being developed

“It’s been a pain to train, there’s been no gain, i- uh, i wanna…leave on..a…train?” -PM7 2024

“KAKUNA I DONT CARE HOW HARD YOU GET ITS NOT GONNA HELP YOU HERE… pause” PM7 John

Always fun to see him play a new game 😊

I hope the download for this one is released at some point, it looks super fun to play.

Wouldn't Zigzagoon have been incredibly good with it's Pickup ability to get items you can sell?

Fun fact Ho-oh screamed for three generations straight 😊😊❤ 30:18

Pokemon if owned by Activision/EA: (Oh its not real money…still tho)

You got that shiny and all I could hear in my head was Mikey going "Oh come on!"

At 2:47 minutes into the video and I don't think PM7 realized the trainer had a Shiny Sentret.

"I don't care how hard you get, its not going to help you" 🤣🤣

32:36 '' something to try to rhyd-on oh-ho's parade'' i see that

You should have brought Igglybuff into the Elite 4. Get that return on investment.

PM7 showing his grind and hustle in this video, nice

I really want to play this rom now lol great video PM7

Pokemon but taxes are real.

yay i was getting bored i love pm7 videos :)

Animal Trafficking: A Pokemon Experience

5:31 Ayooooooooo😂

Btw the music that played when zubat died in Roxxannes gym is the music from Castle Crashers when your in a save zone or shop

POKEMON If Team Rocket *Won* & ruled the world
