Pokemon Ultra Sun but we made it far too difficult. 

This is just lore accurate. The character just moved on from Kanto, of course they don't understand the local language yet.

its CRAZY how accurate his random translations are at times. I am really impressed

The dialogue: *nothing to do with stairs* Smant: ✨STAIRS✨

Team Skull is honestly the best part about the german localization (apart from Pokémon names, there's actually quite a few that I prefer over the english ones). The mix between modern slang and some random out-of-pocket words like "Balg" (a derogatory way to say "kid"), which is something I have never heard someone below the age of 45 say, just gets me sometimes.

I was nervous about this being in German, but then he started fake translating everything and I knew it would be just fine 😂

I've seen so many shorts based on this playthrough. I immediately went "Oh, it's this one.".

This challenge was so hard, we saw smant go from baby face, to full grown beard/mustache, back to baby face.

it's so funny how he doesn't lose pokemon permanently at all like in a nuzlocke yet he's way more afraid of letting them faint, physical punishment is way more exciting!

Oh wow, it is THAT stream I thought it would never be edited, but here it is.

As an Austrian this was beyond enjoyable ( I can’t get mad about his pronunciation because it sounds more like German then our Dialect)

Whichever Jabroni in Twitch Chat decided that Ant had to release his strongest Pokemon upon every Game Over was definitely scheming to softlock him at Ultra Necrozma, XD

I love your approximations of the story lmao "How about we find out with a Pokemon battle... ...another time." *walks away*

I liked seeing the thumbnail version of smallant who is very clearly in distress and then clicking on the video and seeing a much more whimsical version in a very happy propeller hat

2:08 "I want women brooooo" - Smallant 2022

20:03 for anyone who doesn't know, regardless if Smant accidentally visited the palace or not, he would've had to go through that tutorial. Yes, that long ass explanation of something only a handful of players would've done if not forced upon them

“You just took like 7 words and mashed them into one?” He IS learning German!

people that watched this stream know that 2 and a half hours is an insanely short video to encapsulate what went down during this run. it took an ENTIRE HOUR to even begin playing the game. GGs editor

The fact that he had to demonstrate how he used to hang under stairs while playing his ds by drawing a diagram is fucking hilarious.

i apologize to the whole country of Germany for smallant mistaking leafage for "butt twerk"

13:19 Odysseus vs the cyclops moment

this is basically a movie

smant calling out biss and flugelshlag (idk german those spellings are wrong) like an anime character when he uses them made my day

Fun fact: I learned English as a kid by playing Pokémon. I had English lessons at school too, but I was more motivated to learn when playing Pokémon. To this day (20 years later), I still associate many words I learned with Pokémon. "Rare," "faint," and "substitute" are just a few that come to mind. I'm sure Smallant will remember some of the words he learned in German for a long time too.

The first pushups were cut so clean I thought he only did the on-screen 3 and went straight from 2 to 10

Right off the bat I already know this will be hilarious. Can’t even be in English.

I will catch one shiny for each like this comment gets! (Edit I made a short about this tag smant because he will decide which pokemon I will hunt and if I stream it) Edit2: It is stopped at 10x of every pokemon BTW so it keeps going when new gens are released tho

1 minute in and smallant saying "Djuh" when reading the "ja" already killed me.

old timey cars in a traffic jam be like 40:42

i hope jan watches this and laughs as much as i do with the "german"

Finally 2 1/2 hour smallant video

55:02 the fact that smallant predicted a major part of the story by complete accident is insane to me

Being in German is perfect because I still haven’t gotten around to beating sun and now I can watch without knowing a thing

Didn't expect to hear "Incel wander shaft" today.

As a German I waited to long for this and it's finally here. Can't wait to watch the vid

i just KNOW his german viewership skyrocketed with these. german people love this stuff (i would know, i'm one of them.) Herzlichen Glückwunsch, SmallAnt!!

Thank you for making this 2+ hours, you do not know how much I appreciate an edited smallant video this long!

This . . . is scarily long. I also watched so many funny clips of this, and even tuned into the stream sometimes. This is gonna be great.

The character arc from "noo i don't want to do pushups" to "fair enough i'll do 10 pushups" is insane

As an Austrian myself, this was so much fun to watch. Your pronunciations were the funniest part, because it sounds more like german than the austrian dialect lol

my favorite genre of entertainment is people live translating media from a language they don't know and just making up 80% of the story

2:10:28 "PP is my weak point" -Smallant 2024

Watching this as a person studying German is gonna be such a vibe

Me: "Ooh i never got around to playing Ultra Sun, maybe i can get a gist of the story from this stream." Also Me: (desperately trying to remember how to read German)

1:49:06 "Its sucking! Uh-oh! Horse Machine!!" -Smallant 2024

15:07 sockel, can be translated as socket which actually makes sense but you'd propably call it a pedestal

I've been trying to learn german so watching this video quickly devolved into me trying to read every single text box as they came up.

this is accurate to what it was like playing pokemon before i could read

Fun fact: this is definitively the HARDEST Pokemon game at base. Most Boss Trainers actually have EVs and actual strategies (Elite 4 Molayne has a Klefki that T-Waves turn one and then sets Spikes) you first turn and sets up spikes) The only game with something similar would be the endgame spike of BDSP, where they have actual competitive sets.

I have to say it’s really impressive how much of the german dialogue he guessed correctly. Specially because he said he didn’t play this gen before

i always see the clips from this challenge and as a german, they always make me laugh cause i understand everything so i am very hyped for this compilation, even though this was done like a year ago

Smant really looked at the hardest game in the series and said "yeah I don't need to understand the language to do this"

1:51 it took him 43 minutes to get his starter. I can't imagine what it's like to be a small ant live stream viewer

3:39 I am convinced this cut is from another reality where German Smant is playing in English

39:06 Well, well, well, if only you have that poor grubbin you sacked earlier.

As someone who's learning German right now, the way Small Ant doesn’t know how to pronounce German words and simultaneously translates random phrases properly is so funny😭.

As a German i think this Challenge was really entertaining, especially BC of the Game language😂😂 You did a good Job Smant! ;)

0:01 he moved

Wer auch immer auf die Idee gekommen ist, die Sprache auf Deutsch zu stellen, ist eine Legende! Das macht es so genial, wenn man weiß, was eigentlich da steht

most underrated games in the whole series ngl, they’re legitimately so good

1:15:12 "You got the password?" "Yes" "Well okay then, carry on."

THIS LIVESTREAM WAS LIKE OVER A YEAR AGO

So while I am German, this is the Gen I started playing in English so I don't have to learn two sets of Pokémon names. Time to learn the German ones now

2:06:28 I... had no idea you could just... walk past Necrozma on Victory Road like that.....

Children with their parents' championship belts is just always the cutest thing.

The fact it’s in German and no google makes it seem like smants going to forget some major mechanic till the elite 4

1:44:04 "I would die to save the president." That's a very topical statement given what happened literally YESTERDAY!!!

"I WAnT Wemen BrOOOO" - SmallAnt

51:07 " There's way too much dialog and no context. *EGG!!* "

I'm German but haven't played any Pokemon games in that language ever since gen 6 finally allowed us to pick a different option regardless of our region... I think at this point the English names have replaced most of the German ones from gens 1-5 in my mind (which also leads to funny situations in which I can't remember either of them, oops) Back in gen 6 I did a whole playthrough in French once despite knowing next to nothing about the language so I can relate to the confusion you will no doubt experience in this run! This is going to be fun :)

Lusamine is called SAMANTHA? I'm never playing a pokemon game in german again holy shit!

Finally, a Pokemon challenge past gen 5. Gens 6 and 7 especially deserve more attention.

Definitiv mein Lieblingsvideo weil KleineAmeise ein Alola Spiel zockt und das Spiel einfach auf deutsch ist und jetzt ist es noch editiert worden. Toll!

All jokes aside his pronunciation of german words isn't even that bad. Gut gemacht KleineAmeise ☺

12:56 NOT INCEL WANDERSHAFT!

killing two shinies is wild. On the first I said "Shiny clause". In most challenge runs, shinies just jank out the rules in terms of catching

ngl, for me that doesn't understand german. it was enjoyable and thank you smallant for the sincere translation

@devinecmd outstanding work in the editing department, whole video is clean as hell dude

Those streams were both incredibly funny and incredibly painful! Thank you Devine for editing this, it's amazing!

I remember how for some reason I chose Ultra Sun as the first time I would do a Nuzlocke... Ultra Necrozma made me give up and play regular again because he insta-wiped my team 😂

Choosing one of the most text/story heavy Pokémon games to play in a language you don't speak is certainly an idea

Smallant practically learned a whole language in a pokemon game

Bro the propeller hat is actually a fire fit

"Pokemon Ultra Sun but I get buff af"

Never thought about this but if you literally translate moonblast from german to english it comes out as "moonviolence"! In actuality it's meant more as "moonpower" tho

Hot take of the day: I love this game, and I think the soundtrack slaps.

Butt twerk dying, laughing legally I was dying 2:23

Oh ja ein deutsches Video mit der kleinen Ameise, da bin ich ja mal gespannt :)

It's like a light Version of a nuzlocke but stamina based

I've been waiting for this to be a youtube video FOREVER

FINALLY THE CLIPS MAKE SENSE

Wow, I have never seen an american actually put in actual effort to properly pronounce (and figure out the meaning of) german words like this, and you did a very good job without googling anything. Usually they don't even make an attempt, even on words that are very similar to english words.

I got to know about this Challenge from a news article that my Phone recommended and was thrilled to read that the Streamer who did it was smallant XD Grüße aus Deutschland 🍀

i have waited for MONTHS to see this i am so happy it's such a long video that makes me very happy :D

Videos that are this long are reaaaaaally super enjoyable to watch !! Thank for your content, awesome as always !

“Pokémon trainers have been getting fit thanks to this one easy challenge run, doctors hate it!”

2:08 probably the most relatable thing ive ever heard smallant say

Incel wonder shaft almost put me in my grave. 10/10 would German again

As a dutch person the german is not that difficult to understand, *but for the english speakers*

I love the jokes about him learning german or anything thinking he's actually trying to understand, mans just knows how pokemon beats go lol

I’m American but my family came from Germany and I’m learning German via Duolingo, so I would like to say that “Die” translates to a form of “the” and is pronounced “Dee”.
