Mochi Mayhem / Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC FINALE

"Why is the peach making them do the chicken dance?" Look, when you've been an inanimate object for several hundred years, you get a bit starved for comedy.

Scarlet violet friends > X and Y friends. Gotta admit they did a good job with the characters in these games!

This is just so hilariously ! This whole story comes out of nowhere and is so weird yet oddly fun because it takes itself so seriously.

They're definitely not Nemona's parents. Nemona said her father is the CEO for the Rotom Phone Company, and since Billy runs Paldea Realty with O'Nare, it can't be them. That aside, it does make a lot of sense for Penny to be one of Peony's daughters. I mean Peony, Peonia, and Penny are all similar names and based on the same plant. Watching them bob their heads to the music while Carmine's dancing is hilarious! I'm glad they did the Pecharunt thing this way instead of just giving you the Pokémon. It adds a lot more lore to what this unique Pokémon is all about. Considering how many problems and setbacks Kieran went through during the main story, it's nice to see him getting his hero/protagonist moment here. God this quest really shows how great the SV friends are. They've really improved on the character writing for these rival friend groups from past generations. Arven's comment on how much Penny's dad cares really makes you sad when he's lived most of his life, believing his parents didn't care about him. Japan's Okayama Prefecture in southern Honshu is famous for its peaches, however Kitakami is based off Iwate Prefecture and the Tōhoku region of northern Honshu in general, a major apple-producing region which is of course referenced with Dipplin and the orchard! The purple mist that came out of Kieran's fist when he punches is not him being possessed but his anger infusing with the stone which releases a wisp of Pecharunt's aura. Kieran's anger at The Lousy Three ironically resurrects the Pokémon he hates most.

Hey everyone! Sorry I couldn't stream this one as its pretty late at night in Japan... but speaking of, my trip will be ending pretty soon and I cant wait to be back home with the cats and edit all the great stuff I've been recording in Japan. Hope you enjoy this final part of the Scarlet and Violet DLC and look forward to plenty more Pokémon videos in 2024 🍊

You didn't get to see it, but if you use any of the Loyal Three or Ogerpon against Pecharunt, there's a special interaction. For the Loyal Three, it's Pecharunt basically calling them traitors and being shocked that they're on the hero's team while with Ogerpon, it's Pecharunt angry at Ogerpon and Ogerpon screaming like "You took EVERYTHING from me" I thought that was a nice touch. Even more of a nice touch that Pecharunt's theme is a remix of the Loyal Three's, to show that it was of course the puppet master of the Loyal Three. Favorite part about this though is how unbothered the Nurse Joy in the background is lol. Pecharunt being at level 88 is so fitting for two reasons. In Japan, the number 8 represents good luck. That’s why most of Pecharunt’s stats are 88, and why the Loyal Three learn moves every 8 levels. Not to mention 8 is also the same shape as Pecharunt (and the Lousy 3)’s Toxic Chains. Japanese peaches are grown in controlled conditions, covered with small paper bags while they are green to protect them and encourage them to grow pale and sweet. During the summer gift-giving season, chugen, these peaches become a prized gift to give to loved ones or important clients, referenced with the Mythical Pecha Berry being in a box! Now with Kieran and Carmine returning to Blueberry Academy and the epilogue completed, that means you get to invite Nemona, Arven, Penny, Carmine, and Kieran as coaches to the league club room! And with the interactions that come with the coaches talking to each other, Nemona reveals that she got that Kommo-o in Kitakami while she talks to Hassel!

5:39 Penny calling the console a Nintendo switch is too meta for me to handle

49:33 ...can i just point out how absurdly strong this implies the player and nemona are? kieran is actively holding off an entire town's worth of people, including trainers, some being really powerful (ahem, arven and penny) at the same time, for a significant amount of time. even if he doesn't win, that's...really strong. and kieran tells the player that nemona "destroyed him"! even if part of that's his own self-confidence issues making him downplay how well he did, that's still crazy.

Fun fact: Ogerpon has a unique interaction with Pecharunt

The reason why this circle of friends works so well is because they're constantly bickering and taking passive jabs at each other, like ACTUAL real friends in real life do.

Am I the only one who will miss our Paldean and Kitakami's friends 💜😢

I find it interesting how the people under Pecharunt's control were all dancing. It reminds me of this phenomenon from 506 years ago, The Dancing Plague of 1518. Believe it or not, this actually happened, doctor's notes and various other chronicles from that era can confirm it. It happened in a village in what is now France, this one woman started dancing spontaneously out of nowhere and eventually other people started dancing too, but it was not for fun, the people couldn't control themselves, some kept dancing until they passed out from exhaustion. To this day, historians are still debating what could have caused it.

16:25 She was referring to how she went back to Galar for a while after the Team Star fiasco before the main game. At the Fairy Squad base, the ex-principal Harrington said that the leader of Team Star asked to take full responsibility of the trouble they caused, and Harrington sent her back home to Galar to take a break (under the pretense of overseas studying).

The Poison-type itself seems to have gotten tons of focus this generation.

When I saw the Mochi Zombies dancing, my mind immediately went to Jimmy Neutron and the Yolkians.

Nemona so battle focused even being possessed can’t stop her.. you go miss girl

When I played and first saw Arven and penny with purple eyes and joker smile with their backs turned, i was like, " Well, there's my nightmares for tonight". 😂😂😂

Nemona is too insane to be completely taken by pecharunt

your editing never ceases to amaze me especially with the chicken dance

I doubt it was meant as a Halloween release, as doing it now means it comes out during mochitsuki festivals. Also, you weren't really "choosing" either Arven or Penny for anything, you were yelling out to them. You just got to choose whose name to yell.
