The Last Gen 8 Pokémon Meme Review 

The fact that Giovanni joined in the secret Santa is hilarious to me. 😂

He started to say “I’m sorry to say, this will be the last meme review” and my heart stopped beating for a sec

6:17 Can’t believe Mikey accurately predicted it!

8:20 Me, in the future: * laughs in Dadunsparce*

The idea of giving Giovanni a bar of soap is actually hilarious

Here's to Gen 8 and all the Galarians that soon shall be mere memories for most!

Petition for Mikey to continue the "Pokemon type then vs now" series again

6:29 i absolutely love that he called him Trip… because it just isnt his name, its Trace. I made a tier list of champions one time based on a scoring system, and proudly announced when i finished it that trace was the worst champion, because i forgot he existed and didnt actually score him

Can we all just appreciate that in meme reviews grunty boi always appears right after a meme about him?

I can just imagine how mad giovanni would be after getting dr squatch as a gift " YOU THOUGHT I SMELL BAD SO YOU BROUGHT ME SOAP "

2:02 even with Zoroark, it still has a very animalistic pose where it looks like it is more comfortable on all fours. The same thing for Lycanrock Midnight forme where it looks like it would sprint using four legs instead of being a complete human build.

I love how Mikey started at the camera for half a second when he said “everyone bathes, I hope”

For the Team Sky playthrough of SV... If it's in the game, you should get a flying terastal type Mightyena. Specifically just to poke fun at John and how mad Air Bud made him in the first Team Sky video.

LOL. Love the way Mikey pauses, looks directly at the camera and says "I hope"...that was so good.

3:00 - yeah, that’s accurate. After gen 7 everyone stopped hating gen 5 and saw it as the peak of Pokemon it actually was

Giovanni is gonna take one look at the bar of soap, demand who gave it to him, and promptly fire them for indirectly saying that he smells. You just got Grunty Boi to lose his job

Rest In Peace, Gen 8 meme review. Let’s hope that Gen 9 will hold up just as well.

The "everyone bathes, I hope" Made me chuckle very loud, and it's 4 in the morning

3:19 Congratulations, you are a regular Paldean Gym Leader

I love Grunty Boi and Mikey’s relationship dynamic and development that has taken place for a while. Like, no one else puts so much effort into a sponsorship

It’s been an honour, Pokefans. Onto Gen 9!

I love when Michael says,”everyone take’s bathes” then looks at us and says,”I hope” I love the forth wall break😂 Edit: thanks for 100 likes!❤️❤️

Imagine what Grunty Boy is going through after Giovanni finds out he thinks he smells bad.💀

About the Libero ability. Libero is a position you can play in soccer which basically gives you the freedom to play wherever you are needed on the field (Basically you are free in your position) that's why they gave Cinderace a new ability, they wanted to match the theme of the pokemon

About the Greavard reveal, the girl actually fell asleep (you can hear her breathing quietly). However, considering there was a wild Gengar nearby, I'm not sure that's any safer.

Wait! Let's not forget zettabyte can be representative of Z-Moves!

Everytime he says final in a meme review it always makes my heart tingly for a second before he continues

The fact that Gen 9 is coming out this month seems crazy. It feels like BDSP and Legends Arceus just came out.

Can’t believe Gen 9 is coming out soon, man time goes fast!

Honestly, the universal exp share is a plus IMO. Does it make the game easier? Not in any meaningful way. It just reduces the need to grind as much. Also, I personally never experienced any noticeable bugs, aside from the ones I caused intentionally. My only gripe with them was for patching some of the bugs out. The menu glitch was one I wish they had kept. It was hyper specific enough to where you couldn't trigger it by accident, and even if you managed to, it was so easily rectified that it wasn't a major problem. If you had remained a massive pokemon fan and were super hyped for these games, I can understand the disappointment. For me, I had just recently gotten back into Pokemon after a 10-year hiatus. Also, I never played Platinum until after BDSP. So all that "cut" content I never experienced and honestly don't mind that it's missing. As far as I can tell the only stuff missing are new gym puzzles and extra cutscenes and I prefer the D/P ones to the Platinum ones. Could just be what I'm used to, but I think some didn't need overhauling and those that did, I'm not thrilled with. I came into it expecting to play an updated version of Diamond and I got what I was expecting.

Mikey: Dunsparce could still get something The rest of us watching after Dudunsparces release: if only he knew

6:28 I love how when trying to prove that the Let’s Go rival was memorable, he mixes his up his name with a different uninteresting rival lmao Trace is the one from Let’s Go, Trip is from the Unova anime Love you Mikey, never change ❤

Grunty Boi: “I wanna lather my body with frosty peppermint.” Mikey: “Who wouldn’t!”

When you asked where does the ham come from at 6:36 it has actually been long confirmed that people eat pokemon in as there are no animals in the world aside from them. It has been confirmed for several years now actually, so likely something along the lines of Lechonk, Lechonk's final evolved form (I don't remember the name), or some other pig like pokemon from the different regions.

I know, it sounds cheesy, but genuinely thank you. You may never see this, you may not even care if you do, but thank you for everything you do. Your videos have helped me through so many things. You are an angel behind a screen, and I hope you keep on doing what you love. Thank you, Michael. You're so funny in the best ways, so kind to your viewers without even knowing. You are the best Poketuber ever. ♡︎

My favorite meme reactions of Mikey's is when he just completely straight-faced criticizes the meme it's so funny. "Team Star will be bullies because the whole gimmick is school." "...That was not in question."

9:22 I got the trailer as an ad before this part...

10:09 I actually did that once, on the first time I completed the game too I believe, I basically decided one day that I wanted to play Pokémon with a full ice type team (plus my starting piplup since ice types come pretty late game), all you need to do is use blizzard or another ice-type move and it’s dead, it’s 4x weak to ice, it’s not that hard, just get a froslass or a mamoswine on your team and you basically have type-advantage for half of her team

Honestly, I am excited to play Gen 9. It is amazing to see how far the franchise had come.

The fact that Grunty Boi is giving Giovanni Dr. Quatch is gold

8:22 yes Mikey, yes

You got the cyclizer thing on point

I'm not sure why I'm only just noticing but Mikey!!! You hit 1M! I'm insanely happy for you, I've been waiting for you to hit this milestone and it warms my heart seeing you achieve it. I'm very proud of your progression through your content, and everything just gets better and better with more creativity and ways to make your audience laugh. I've been a part of the journey since around 2015 and it's very satisfying to see this milestone reached. Cheers to hopefully many more years of your content to be enjoyed

Hi Mikey as a fellow Pokémon fan you have been a massive blessing to the world and you deserve everything good that happens to you

If Poochyena is in Scarlet and Violet, getting one with Flying Tera Type, would be awesome for Team Sky!

It's time to update your aspitpiay with a beard version

12:03 Difficulty curve? That ain't no curve, that's a 90° angle.

we need a complimation of all grunty boy scenes to get the full GB story together

SPOILERS SURRONDING THIS MEME: 8:25 i believe that dunsparce will indeed get a evo. my friend showed me lists of all new forms

7:12 this is actually extremely wholesome and full circle in a way. Imagine being a kid and putting some thought into the world of a game and pokemon indirectly rewards you for getting immersed

Mikey actually did a good Josh Brolin impression 10:33

Its been about two years since i watched one of these and it warmed my heart to see that you still did the theme song :)))

8:18 Well, this aged poorly.

Rest in peace, Gen 8. You will be missed.😔

As someone who did a hardcore Nuzlocke for their first run of BDSP (with Gifts being counted as that area’s encounter and one Underground encounter PERIOD - not one per area), I ran through almost all of Cynthia’s team with a mono attacking Uxie xD Sub + CM + Yawn + Extrasensory meant that once I got rid of Spiritomb, I could just set up in her face to +12 and wreck face lmao

4:36 “Everyone shaves…” *Breaks fourth wall* “… I hope.” 😂

Hey Mikey, thank you so much for running this sponsor when you did. I am getting married this Sunday and I have been trying to think of something to get my groomsmen. I saw this, and decided to go with the Star Wars Dr. Squatch collection. Thanks for helping me make up my mind

It's been a long ride boys. Glad to enjoy it with you all. To the future!

And now I'm imagining Grunty Boi buying Giovanni some Team Sky merch for Christmas.

i haven’t watched you since the first meme review of gen 8 😭 so excited for a new generation!

“Don’t have a gift for your evil team boss? Get him some s o a p” Mood

I love how before Grunty Boi was a just a criminal and now he’s a friend!

Its been an honour everyone. gen 8 shall be missed. onto gen 9 with the LIZARDS :)

During the sponsor when Mikey said “since everyone bathes… I hope” was hilarious 😂

4:19 Mikey, you’re basically telling grunty boy to silently call Giovanni stinky…

4:40 Bro I think if grunty boy gives Giovanni the Dr. Squatch Giovanni will think grunty boy is trying to tell him he smells 💀

Pokémon Sword & Shield had a rocky buildup, but had a strong finish. They aren't perfect games, but good first mainline entries to the Switch. The gen 8 anime also had a rocky start but looks to have a STRONG finish with Ash vs Leon being incredible. The VGC scene was also very nice to see too, and online battling was better than ever with teams being so diverse. Pokémon Legends: Arceus burst the door wide open for the possibilities with Pokémon going forward. And BDSP existed. Overall, gen 8 was a pretty good time for Pokémon. It shall be missed.

8:23 "There's still a chance Dunsparce gets something" This aged like fine wine, didn't it? ;)

How these videos always bring a smile to my face is amazing

The best rival is an indecisive one where he asks you which one to pick so you choose the difficulty

7:40 ah, another gigachad Yo-Kai Watch fan.

8:17 EXPANSION: DuDunspare: well I think I'll just be over here now Everyone else: dude u just got longer that doesn't count DuDunsparce: *points at Voltorb and electrode*

“What opinions of mine are awful?” His hate for empoleon:

9:29 As someone who's first games were the hoenn ones and had Slugma and Azumarill on my team, I was pretty surprised to find out they weren't gen 3 xD

So what I’m hearing is…if Mightyena is in S/V and it can have a Flying Terastal type…it can truly be a team sky member!

Nice video Mikey! Thanks for the laughs and such.

While I never assumed the slugma line and skarmory weren't from gen 2, I always pictured gen 3 when thinking of skarmory simply because of how much more common it was in that gen. Can hardly remember anyone in gsc using one.

Time flies, crazy how gen 9 comes out in a few weeks. Feels like gen 8 came out last month.

The best intro BY FAR. Amazing as always mikey

I love how the memes just spawn grunty boi

"Everyone bathes... I HOPE." You slew me XD Just the side-eye, goddamn.

I have never clicked on a notification faster

Holy the way time flies. It doesn't feel like 3 years that SWSH was released. This is insane.

Since release gen 5 was always my favorite. It was the first one my parents could afford to get on release and I was so happy to have it so early. I finished no less to 20 play through before sticking to one save file and did the same with the sequels

His sponsor parts are the only sponsor segments I watch and don’t skip

7:18 Lol, the meme literally censored itself. Mikey still says the original line. Love it!

Can't believe gen 8 is almost over, time flies by

Pokémon challenge idea - each one of your Pokémon is immediately given a choice item and you can’t take it off. Meaning in every battle all your Pokémon can only use 1 move each.

Missed your chanel and im comming back now you are my favorite pokémon youtuber

6:32 "But *Trip* is the freaking champion" My man really did that to Trace

11:04 This looks like some high quality meme material

You totally nailed today's sponser, good job mate

LEAKS ARE OUT, THE CAT STANDS UP

O7 gen 8, you have brought countless hours of entertainment and joy, can't wait for gen 9!

It’s been a fun generation. Thanks for making this a even more fun generation! See you in Paldea!

3:17 shut up John, air bud can now be a flying type

The preorder pikachu is unique because it is air terastalised and has flying moves, would be perfect for your team sky playthrough but idk if you can use the code on more than one playthrough

Generation 8 was amazing and had so many interesting pokemon games. Im am a bit sad generation 8 is about to pass, but im very excited for Gen 9 and whats to come! I was so much younger when gen 8 came out, I was 11. Now im 14. ❤️❤️❤️

0:11 Ass pizza pie

Mandjtv is multitasking (talking and sponsor) AT THE SAME TIMMMEEE!!!
