(hands smacking)
- Pokemon Meme Review.
♪ Leave your entries in
the subreddit, Pokefans ♪
♪ And I'll watch submissions ♪
♪ In the next of ASPITPIAY ♪
Greeting, Pokefans,
Michael here,
and welcome to the newest
episode of ASPITPIAY.
At some point in the past,
I asked you.
My ongoing monthly series
where I react to submissions
on my subreddit,
r/MandJTV.
Link is in the
description below.
And since most of those
submissions are memes,
the alternative
name for this series
is Pokemon (hands smacking)
Meme Review.
Before I dive into the memes,
I have a bit of an announcement.
For the rest of September, I
will only have one video a week
here on this channel,
rather than my usual two.
We're in the middle
of a big move,
during a pandemic.
And since I don't know
how long it'll be exactly
before I have my
new setup set up.
I had to film all my
September videos in advance.
And I didn't have time
to do all the move stuff.
And the two videos
a week in August,
and then two videos a
week for all of September.
So it's just one video
a week for this channel
for the rest of the month.
And one video a week, the MML,
over on my second channel
for the rest of the month.
Just wanted to announce
that in a video
so more of you knew,
and few of you were wondering
why there's less stuff.
So don't forget to
subscribe to channel,
since 60% of my viewers
are not subscribed,
which is incredibly,
excruciatingly painful.
And let's dive into the memes.
Here we are on r/MandJTV,
sorted by top in the past month.
That's how I always do this.
And the first post is,
"Not a meme,
but just survived spine surgery.
Can I get a hail yeah?"
Hail yeah, you can.
Pokemon (hands smacking)
surgery review.
A 10 out of 10.
You did great.
I'm so proud of you.
Glad to hear that surgery
went well, LuckTheTopaz.
Hail yeah.
Keep up the...
I mean, yeah, work, honestly.
Petition for shiny
ditto to always turn
into the shiny version
of any Pokemon.
That would be cool.
It would make not as much sense,
because it's, you know,
it's mimicking its target.
But, I mean, I would like it.
Took a month of work.
Hope my hero sees this.
Oh wow.
Ho-ho.
I need like a cape or something.
Oh, wait, this is a video.
Oh, this is a video.
I need to record sound somehow.
Okay, hopefully I have,
I don't screw this
up in the recording,
but let's play this.
Oh, there is no sound.
Oh, it's just a custom
video of my ASPITPIAY intro.
That's cool.
Okay, I like worried
about getting sound,
and there wasn't any sound.
But that's still really awesome.
Man, is that all
like hand-drawn?
That is fantastic.
Very excellent work.
You get an upvote.
That is special as heck.
And I'm honored to
be called your hero.
I don't know if I deserve it.
I'm just a relatively
regular guy
making silly Pokemon videos,
but it's very kind,
and I appreciate you.
I'm only 13 and
did this on a whim.
(laughs)
What?
That is so funny.
I love that.
Just the (laughs)...
That is,
that is fantastic.
Wow.
You're one heck of a
talented 13 year old.
My gosh. That is excellent.
That's also really funny.
That is,
I did the upvote.
I didn't even think about it.
I just upvoted it out
of natural instinct,
'cause that's awesome.
OwO.
Would you pretty please come
to the Distortion World with me?
"Michael, please give
this man permission
to make a Pokemon game
using your Fakemon."
"I'm taking coding classes,
and wondered if you all
want a game of this.
Of course, I need
MandJTV's permission
if you want the game."
Go for it.
Sure.
I mean, yeah.
Go for it. It's not like
I can make money off it.
That's like a copyright problem.
But if you want to do it, sure.
Just let me know
if you do.
I wanna see it when it's done.
"Listen, kid, I
don't have much time.
The Sinnoh remake
release date is..."
Rest in peace Oracle Rillaboom.
"New password, Hail Yeah, weak.
New password, Ice
Precipitation Affirmative."
Ice Precipitation Affirmative.
(laughs)
That's kind of funny.
I never made that
connection before.
Thank you, Snorlax, very cool.
Snorlax forgot how
to use Amnesia.
(laughs)
Oh God, that's terrible.
Oh, yeah. I mean, there's
a lot of things like,
there's a lot of like
forgot how to use,
Bite, for example.
And it's like, I think
I've seen some comic
where it's like forgot
how to use Bite,
and they're trying to
like feed it something,
and it's just like,
"I don't know how."
"Where's Timmy?
Shiny Voltorb hunting
Oh God, no!"
Wait, what is happening here?
Oh, Voltorb used Self-Destruct.
Oh.
I see.
Yeah.
I don't recommend Shiny hunting
something that can explode
unless it's Gen 3 or later,
and you have
something with Damp.
"I miss Mega evolution.
It's time to go.
Was I good gimmick?
No, you were the best gimmick.
User reports: this
is misinformation."
(laughs)
He used the user report
function (laughs).
Oh God, that's funny.
Oh, oh, shout to,
shout out to whoever
did that report.
That's fantastic.
Oh, man.
I don't know if I agree
it was the best gimmick.
I mean, it was,
like, parts of it were,
it had its benefits,
it also had a lot of flaws.
The fact that they,
like, just, the Megas
became too broken.
It should've been reserved
for making bad Pokemon good,
and not making very
good Pokemon broken.
But, God, the,
oh, wow.
That's so funny.
"A perfect timed screenshot.
My name is Mewtwo.
I came into being only to F."
(laughs)
"The most underrated stereotype.
I want the best earth bender.
I said the best earth bender.
Haha!
It is me, surprise."
One rock.
"Frogadier when it
reaches level 36.
I be Greninja."
(laughs)
That's pretty good.
(laughs)
"Googles how old MandJTV is.
25.
Dun, dun, dun."
That's not me.
That's Ash, obviously.
Who is 10, and always has been.
I have a whole video on that,
which you've probably seen.
"Can I get a hail yeah?"
(laughs)
I love that you created that,
but the eyes are so small.
It looks high as a kite.
Just, like, "Whoa.
Dude, what we had
spoons for hands?"
"Castform, you don't
even hands at all."
"The MandJTV Plays channel icon
should have Michael's
gamer goggles."
It could.
But that sounds like work.
"Karens when they put on
a mask for .0026 seconds.
The air is hard
to breathe here."
No.
We need more fan
game let's plays.
Maybe at some point
on the second channel.
Wow, how'd you get like that?
"Every time a Pokefan
wants a Gen 4 remake
I do one push-up.
Jesus Christ."
Oh, boy.
Zoroark.
Zoroark.
Zoroark.
Zoroark.
My plan is flawless.
Not Zoroark. Oh (laughs).
This kind reminds me of a
video I saw a while back
where someone on Showdown,
they gave an Arceus,
excuse me, Arceus.
They gave it a flying plate,
which makes it,
like, you know, it changes
the color of Arceus
when you do it.
But then they nicknamed
it Arceus-Steel.
And so someone went
for Earthquake,
and it didn't hit,
because the steel coloring
and the flying coloring
are very close.
So they tricked
someone into thinking
that it was a flying type.
And that was like a very
amusing, successful,
kind of, sort of
version of this.
"My mum when I'm
late for school.
There's a speed limit and
we will be following it."
Oh, that's a,
that's a moment
from Pokemon Talk
I haven't seen memed before.
"Castform says, 'Hail Yeah
was a made as a reaction
to good posts,
not as a karma farm.'"
Fair enough.
But I will always
appreciate all hail yeahs.
"Don't forget.
When going out in public,
don't forget Yamask."
I like how they got a
screenshot of it handing it.
"When you hatch a Pokemon
and it's not shiny."
Oh, I've seen this.
Oh, I haven't seen,
it added where it
goes out of the earth.
But, yeah, fair.
"This tree has two berries."
With three.
"Mafs."
It's the more generic
word for stonks.
"O+: I can take
blood only from O.
O-: I can take blood
only from my blood type.
AB+: Blood is blood!"
That's not a Pokemon meme,
but it was kind of funny.
Hearing my voice in my head
versus hearing my voice
on recordings (laughs).
What?
Is that Lugia statue,
is it just throwing up ice?
Oh, no.
Oh, that's funny.
I used to have that
experience when I was a kid,
you know?
My mom would be
filming home videos,
and I would always be
like, "Let me see the TV."
I wanted to see the little
video feed of myself.
Clearly my interests in being
on camera started early.
But I would,
she would play it back,
and my voice would
sound different.
But now I've heard my own
voice so much in recordings,
that I like,
I don't notice a
difference anymore.
I know a lot of people do
when they don't hear their
recorded voice very often,
but, for me, I've
gotten used to it.
Oh, congrats on
your shiny Rowlet.
That's awesome.
Sorry it took you so many eggs.
I've been similarly unlucky
with the Masuda Method.
I went like, I mean, I
never went to 2201 eggs,
but I went to like 1500,
over a thousand in eggs,
and it's like,
the odds are so much
lower than this,
better than this.
Excuse me.
"Stop scrolling and
appreciate my Kadabra's HP."
Nice.
War Kirby. Yes!
War Kirbys.
In a line.
They're wonderful. We
appreciate phalanx here.
Can I get a...
A war yeah?
No, no, never mind.
"Me: opens every window and
door to let the air come on.
Everyone in the plane."
Oh, no.
That's a great
screenshot though.
I feel like that would be
a good meme screenshot.
Oh, this is so cool.
"Listening to Mikey's
videos is one of the things
that helps me get through my
days during the quarantine.
Wanted to show my appreciate
with this pixel art."
That is fantastic.
Excellent work.
I really, really liked that.
You get an upvote.
Thank you, OnaJet27.
That is awesome.
"What is your wisdom?"
Oh, this is the Senpai of
the pool, Pokemon version.
"It's not 100% accurate,
it's 50% accurate.
That's some good wisdom."
Heck yeah. Hail yeah.
Hail yeah, it is.
Oh is that a...
Can we just acknowledge the fact
that there's a Sharpedo
in the corner of this
about to just decimate one
or both of these creatures.
"I don't even think I've
been Mikey reference
this game ever!
I would love that video.
Friend: You can't make a
meme using your figures
from a dead a Pokemon game.
Me: A foolish miscalculation."
Oh, wow, that really is
like the same posture as me.
So I actually
heard of this game.
I don't even remember its name,
but when I was making the
protagonists for every game,
"Every Protagonists'
Team" video that I made
at a little while ago.
I was on Brendan's page,
and it was like,
"In this game there are
figures for Brendan,
Landon, and Sean."
Let me just show you.
Yeah, so here it is.
In the TFG,
which I've never heard of,
there are three Trainer
figures based on Brendan.
They are version of Brendan
with the same design,
but with different colors.
So Sean is the green one,
Landon is the red,
and Brendan's the blue one.
Which, honestly,
I feel like makes the
least amount of sense,
'cause Brendan is
like the canon name
for the mainline game one.
And so that should be either
red one or the green one.
I feel like Sean C
should've been the blue.
And then Landon could
be either the red one
or the green one.
Red for like magma,
green for like plants.
I don't know.
But, yeah, the Trainer figures.
I've never heard of this,
and I still don't fully
understand what it is.
They're only,
the Pokemon Training
Figure Game.
Here we go.
Oh, wow, 2007.
It was discontinued in 2009.
Okay, see, that's why
I haven't heard of it.
"Honk honk."
Wait, why are there two geese?
"Prepare for trouble
and make it double."
Yes, indeed. My goodness.
"I was rewatching
the original series
and found perfect meme material.
James is wearing a
mask, why can't you?"
Exactly.
Wear a mask.
Some of the unused Pokemon
designs are really absurd."
And we got stick-bugged.
We got stick-bugged, everybody.
Darkness.
"The two kings in chess.
The two queens."
That's pretty true.
That's accurate.
Drawing every Pokemon
ever, number one.
What do you think?"
Oh, yeah, totally keep going.
That's pretty cool.
That would be a really
cool finished project,
once you do it.
You're making good
progress. I like it.
"Nobody.
The guy writing
Mimikyu's Pokedex entry,
'He was so ugly that
everyone died.'"
Oh, man, so true.
Marshadow.
Jarshadow.
Farshadow.
Carshadow.
Tarshadow.
Magmarshadow."
Oh, we got another one.
"Zygarde.
Crygarde.
Whygarde.
Highgarde.
Liegarde.
Bigarde.
Diegarde.
Buygarde.
Aspitapiaygarde."
(laughs)
I love the Aspitapiaygarde.
"Never failed a shiny.
Never found," oh.
My condolences.
Greetings, Pokefans,
Michael here.
Hey Vsauce, Michael here.
Yeah, I...
I had comparisons to
him like early on.
I have no recollection if
I like did it intentionally
or if it just kind of happened.
I don't know.
Vsauce, great content.
Kalos, Land of Fluffy
White Neckwear.
Oh, it is.
Oh, what an excellent
observation.
"Serena: kisses ash.
"Ash: 'So that's the way
of goodbye in Kalos.'"
Oh, there's nothing
fancy about this.
This is just culture.
"Using your mechanical
engineering degree
to get a real job and
be useful to society.
Using your mechanical
engineering degree
to teach your subscribers
on YouTube something new."
There you go.
The science lesson last time
with the convection.
There you go.
You're welcome.
Do you want to know
more science lessons?
Here you go.
Newton's First Law for...
Is it the first law?
Well, it's one of the three.
It's either the
first or the third.
'Cause the second one is,
basically, force equals
mass times acceleration.
But, anyways, for every,
I think it's the third.
For every action, there's an
equal and opposite reaction.
So you are exerting
an equal force
onto the Earth,
that it is exerting onto you.
It's just way bigger,
so you ain't moving it.
"Rookidee.
Cookiedee.
Look, he dee.
Cookidee. Tom Nookidee.
Bookidee."
Oh, drawing type swaps.
Oh, a fire type Yamper.
That's pretty cool.
I'm a fan.
Mega Lucario.
Yeah, we've made it
very abundantly clear
that Google's default
information on Pokemon
is wildly inaccurate.
Protons.
Neutrons.
Electrons.
Oh, I remember now.
I even said it'd be funny
to see science memes.
That other one a while ago,
I was like, "Wait,
why was is this here?"
And then just like, completely,
it's been a month since I
recorded the last one, okay?
I completely forgot about,
I forgot I was like,
"It would be fun to see
some science memes."
So we've seen two now.
The blood type one and this one.
And I like this one.
I like 'em both.
I like that they're here.
"Mikey spending five
minutes explaining
"the science of
blowing on ice cream.
Me."
You learned things.
You're welcome.
Dragon Master Lance.
"Let's see who this really is."
Bird Keeper Lance.
So true.
"If you give us $10,
we will help you out
by healing your team
before your next bout.
Is this some sort
of American joke?
I'm too European to understand."
(laughs)
Oh, I get it.
"Magnet sides be like,"
science memes, yes.
My name is
Mikey Guy,
the science,
I just rhymed guy with guy.
That doesn't work.
MandJTV, the science...
Mikey the,
oh, that's still an E sound.
MandJTV, the science Mikey.
We'll figure it out.
"Congratulations.
Your Espeon evolved into,"
oh,
a nickname joke.
They called me a mad man.
Oh, wait, there's a message.
I feel like I'm investigating.
I'm like an archeologist.
"Hello, people.
About three months
ago I made a pixel art
of shiny Rayquaza in
Minecraft in creative.
Replied with a
challenge, five words.
Now do it in survival.
The smallest map is
128 by 128 blocks
that I had to gather by hand."
I don't fully understand this,
because, as I mentioned before,
I've never played Minecraft.
But I do believe that doing
pixel art in Minecraft
in survival mode
does sound harder.
'Cause you're not just creating.
You're trying not to die.
(laughs)
This person's name is Mike.
"What you just
saw was me showing
that this is true survival.
Achievements are
permanently turned off."
Okay.
And then what are we doing?
What happens? Whoa.
Wait. Oh, that's dope!
Wow.
Well, that was worth the wait.
That's incredible.
"No clue if this was
brought up before.
Just saw it and thought
of making a meme about it.
Ah, yes, Oak's two
favorite things:
the Pokedex and Ash's mom."
Oh, yes.
That was intentional.
"Touch the cow, do it now."
Touch the Bidoof.
Touch the Bidoof.
"Darmanican
Starmanitan.
Carmanitan.
Farmanitan.
Barmanitan.
Yarnmanitan."
Oh, this is a cool picture.
Rowlet amongst fellow owls.
"Two smart kids:
arguing on how evolution works.
Me who watches Pokemon:
a foolish miscalculation."
(laughs)
The two smart kids
and the wrong kid.
"Who needs science when
you can have history memes?
Sword Shield guillotine."
And it's the France.
Oh, that's funny.
"Me after killing a
shiny for the first time:
'Doctor said it should fade
in the next 10 years.'"
Oh, no.
"I finally found
it after 15 years.
The scroll of truth!
No."
Indeed.
Typhlosion's 3D sprite.
We do not stand.
"Pancham.
Rancham.
Fancham.
Cancham.
Vancham.
Gru."
What?
"Me: happy that I found a shiny.
My Pokemon: a critical hit."
(laughs)
"How my grandma sees me.
How I see myself."
No (hands smack).
You should all see yourselves
as the top picture.
Love yourself.
And you will be
more capable of lothing others.
I said lothing others,
but you know what I meant.
"Grass type fans:
Haha, your type sucks.
No, it's a strong type
with cool designs.
Bug type fans before Gen 7,
your type sucks.
We know."
Oh, that's really cool.
Lunatone-Kyogre fusion.
Wow, that's really unique.
I like that.
(Michael whistles)
"Hail yeah.
That's good."
Hail, yeah, it is.
"When you're told
to do the dishes
before your parents get back
and you hear the car door."
I've had experiences like that.
Like, not necessarily
do the dishes,
but like, "Hey, leave
this out to thaw."
Okay.
They get home:
oh, God (laughs).
Pokemon memes.
Science memes.
I mean, not completely,
you know?
But I've referenced
several times.
I feel like the science memes
are just gonna take over.
"Necrozma in Sun and Moon.
Necrozma in Ultra Sun and Moon."
"The fairy type,
the transition to 3D,
the difficulty of Gen 6."
Yes.
"Any closer than that and
we're going to have a battle,
you and me!"
"If you take another
step forward,
you are really not gonna
like what happens next."
(Michael hums)
I've never played Undertale.
I just know the references.
"Wailord in Colosseum.
Wailord now."
Oh, I know.
Why?
I really hope they fix that
in the future
mainline Switch games,
because, like, look at
Wailord in Colosseum.
That's dope.
It is so cool how it
looks in Colosseum.
And, like, the one
Wailord in the Overworld
and Isle of Armor,
it's like scaled up.
It's the correct size.
But then you enter
battle with it,
and it's small again.
It's not as bad
of a scaling down
as it is in like Sun and Moon.
They made it appear
a bit bigger.
But, still,
with the Switch's power,
they really do need to get
them to the proper sizes.
The technology exists.
It existed on the GameCube.
Like, come on, guys,
scale up,
like, have Pokemon that are big
be the proper size, please.
It ruins the immersion
to see them small.
I don't dislike
Sword and Shield.
Like, I liked Sword and Shield.
It's a very fun game.
I know a lot of people
think it was garbage
all the way through.
I think there's things you
can criticize about it.
Like, the story was kind of meh.
Not much post game content
if you don't get the DLC.
And a lot of the
graphics don't look,
like, the graphics in the wild
area don't look very good.
They look a lot better in
like the towns and cities.
But, like,
God, they really do need to,
they need to fix
that scaling issue.
At least they're gonna be
proper size in like Snap 2.
Snap 2 is gorgeous.
I hope the mainline games
get to looking like
Snap 2 eventually.
Oh, that's very cool art.
"Michael, check out my Team art.
I could make one for you too."
Oh, well, I would honored.
I don't know which
team it would be.
You could pick one,
you know?
I don't wanna say like,
"This is my ideal team
that I've never actually
used at any point."
You can just pick
like one of my teams
from my playthroughs
that, like, I've
done on YouTube.
Surprise me.
"I prefer the real
fire/ice type.
The real fire/ice type.
IcyHot (laughs)."
All right, guys, that's
where I'm gonna wrap it up
for this episode of
Pokemon Meme Review.
Thank you guys so much for
watching and submitting
lots of fun memes and art,
and all that stuff.
Link to the subreddit
in the description below
if you wanna submit
some stuff of your own.
But that is,
oh,
thank you so much for watching.
Extra thanks to my
Patrons over on Patreon.
Would've been bad if I
forgot that (laughs),
who are helping
support my channel
independent of fluctuating
YouTube ad ranges.
If you wanna help support
me in the same way,
the link is also in
the description below.
And if you wanna check out
more of my fun Pokemon content,
I recommend these videos here.
But that is all I have for now.
So till next time, Pokefans.
Gotta catch them all.
