really love your breakdown on this! strategy is really key in being the best pokémon trainer around 🏅

I'm honestly happy Gen 5 did the "new gen only" thing because it left such a mark on me that I still do it to this day. Makes each of my teams feel super unique.

After the EXP Share change, I started training up at least 3 teams per title. The levelling just got that much faster. I enjoy being able to use more mons and theorycraft more widely

The discussion of the sun and moon team gave me nostalgia. Binge-watching that playthrough is what first got me into pokemon.

The thing I love about every gen of Pokémon, is that every team is going to be different. Whether you use new Pokémon or old, they are never the same team for the first playthrough.

I love that this is his third time covering this particular topic, and he still manages to make it engaging and fun. Respect.

You can actually get a dawn stone before Wally gives it to you, its a reward from secret super training... It just takes around 5ish hours of grinding to unlock it, which when I ended up tackling Omega Ruby, I did. Had a Gallade before the third gym, and 15 hours of playtime.

I thought it was interesting that you usually DIDN'T use more than six 'mons. I literally ALWAYS do throughout a playthrough and the total number of Pokemon I use in a regular run usually ends up pretty massive.

I think one big draw of replaying Pokémon games vs other games, is the experience is going to be entirely different depending on the team you have. If you play a game like Kingdom Hearts for example again, it's not gonna be much different in a replay. But with Pokémon, while the story will be the same, how you play and maneuver will be entirely different depending on what team you have. This is evident in playthroughs Mikey's done for content over the years. It's what makes Pokémon feel more....immersive and lived in for games. You and your friend could have entirely different experience with the same game because of the teams you had. And that's exciting.

love how mikey and grunty boi’s friendship has evolved

Fun fact: You can get a dawn stone in the remake hoenn games by super training. It will take a while but faster than waiting to get one from wally

I was a dragon tamer for Violet. Accidentally stumbled onto the Pokemon battle jump bug that got me on the ridge over the first Pokemon center caught all the dragons up there plus a riolu and had a pretty rough time early game do to tiny move pools and needing a butt load of xp for levels but it got amazing once the mid game hit and things started to evolve. Highly recommend for a challenge playthrough good times

I love it when you can get a new appreciation of an older generation Pokemon in a newer game. In Pokemon Ultra Moon, I used a Mismagius. In Pokemon Violet, I'm using a Lilligant after I gained an appreciation for it's Hisuian counterpart.

Hey, I like Drifblim. That Pokemon has helped me through several playthroughs since I discovered it in Pokemon X. Very bulky due to its high HP and strong physical attack moves it can learn. And its flying type also made it my main Pokemon to learn fly and that also makes it immune to ground moves (as well as Normal and Fighting moves thanks to its ghost typing.) Very underrated Pokemon in my opinion.

I loved the hard league in Brilliant Diamond. I know Pokemon has to assume each game will be some kid's first game so they have to make it easier, but since it wasn't my first game, I had a blast going up against competitive-level teams. I wish they would have the option to make the league harder in Scarlet and Violet.

You can actually get a dawn stone prior to the first gym in ORAS. If you grind the super training till one of your mons is maxed out, you get access to secret super training, where the 6th level is gallade - you have a solid chance to get a dawn stone from it.

My theory with BDSP was that it was only made because the higher ups at Nintendo thought that Legends Arceus by itself was too risky. BDSP was never intended to exist, hence why it's so bad.

6:39 I agree. luxray and staraptor stayed on my team along with infernape since I was a kid at the time of playing it. These three are huge sweepers, with Fly on staraptor, spark on luxray and flamethrower on infernape. 1 hit KOs were so easy to get in those games though, so most of the game was pretty easy (not including Cynthia, Cynthia was SO hard to beat).
