16:07 "But I don't personally have an Onix" and then immediately he proceeds to show us an Onix in box 4.

18:25 -issimo is the Italian suffix for "very". In music, that means fortissimo means "very loud", and pianissimo means "very quiet". By extension, Piantissimo means "very Pianta", which is funny since he is very much not a Pianta.

20:24 "Leftovers and Rocky Helmet can truly be held by any Pokémon." Except for Shedinja...

I honestly think "Ambidexter" is the single most clever nickname for an Ambipom that exists

19:21 [Blaise walks around in a Flygon-inspired outfit] General Populace: "OMG, HATSUNE MIKU!"

Here’s a shocking, fun fact about that trade for Excadrill that not many people know if it’s shiny, and you battler in the rematch, it will still be shiny in the rematch

"Skipped" trainer defeat text for this episode: 3:39 *Lass Henrietta:* Phew... Your Pokémon... That was amazing! 755: *Veteran Rayne:* All sorts of feelings are stirred up by battling.

It's still hilarious to me that Accumula town is associate with Furret - A Pokemon that isn't obtainable in Gen 5 outside of transfer/trading. Edit: And swarms, apparently. You really do learn something new every day.

It's so surreal and amazing to have the first section of the first games be the prize behind the post game. Getting to see how things have changed and not changed, it's like coming back home. A home where the wild animals have seemingly been doing steroids, but it's still nice.

Since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I've taken to calling Quick Balls "Diplomacy", so that way when I have to start combat with a wild pokemon, it's only because Diplomacy Has Failed.

Beard and Moustache are the same word in Japanese (Hence Whitebeard's being called as he is), that may be why Alakazam is Beardy

I feel bad for Emile's gf. Having to catch *every* Pokémon in a *Poké Ball* is gonna be hell

Was funny when you said that you didn't had a Onix but I immediately saw an Onix in your box number 4. But it's whatever you had other options, like the Lugia you have

6:35 Mirror Shot is the move with low accuracy. Flash Cannon is indeed 100%

The Alakazam's nickname being Beardy might be a translation thing. The Japanese word ひげ ("hige") kinda refers to facial hair in general, so both mustaches and beards (though mustaches specifically can be called 口髭 "kuchihige")

As she said, "pianissimo" just means to play an instrument soft and quietly.

Something worth noting about Nidoking and Nidoqueen with Sheer Force: because of the ability's interaction with Life Orb and their massive move pools, they actually found some competitive use as strong special attackers from this generation onwards!

Magnezone’s sprite is extremely cool! Its eye looking around and its magnets spinning are pleasing to look at.

26:55 Love the Xenoblade reference there. Tried and true Chuggaa.

All that's needed is a furret walking to make this complete

6:40 Flash Cannon absolutely has 100% accuracy. And also it’s not “predicting a switch”, it’s “random move”

Seeing the Ambipom named "Ambidexter" reminds me of the Aipom named "Ambidextra", (Master Thief btw) that Marriland had in his Gold nuzlocke series.

I think being able to build an NPC trainer through trade sounds absolutely amazing. Imagine doing this on your friends game. You fully commit to hard training and aiming for competitive viability on it, then waiting for your friend to battle her and realize that she really is the strongest trainer

Your videos never fail to make me smile, Chugga. The musicians playing you out as you said goodbye was beautiful.

okay the idea of Blaise in a Flygon-themed dress is actually super cool ngl, I really like that idea.

"Leftovers and rocky helmet can be held by any pokemon and still be good." Man, poor shedinja

ah yes the furret theme song

On your story of 3 5% Absol, I had the opposite sorta I was looking for Absol for my Platinum team. I ran into a Quiet nature Shiny Abamasnow

18:25 In Italian, "-issimo" is an intensifier. "Pianissimo" Is very soft, and "Piantissimo" is very plant.

5:14 That's sweet. I love details like that in video games.

I, too, know someone who refuses to catch Pokémon in anything but regular pokéballs. Honestly, I find that tenacity and persistence rather awe inspiring.

I thought you would talk about sheer force nidoking more ngl, I’d consider it THE sheer force + life orb abuser outside of Lando, and a great demonstration of how potent the combo is. The power boost is so much that a physical attacker like Nidoking will almost always run a special set instead. It’s very cool how what should be a power crept gen 1 Pokemon still remains a powerhouse to this day

5:39 Chugga would love the Naked Gun movies. Assuming he hasn't seen them already.

Flash Cannon has always had 100% accuracy

Your lady gets it. I also am a Pokeball purist. There's just something nice and borderline brag-worthy about all your Pokemon being in the same regular Pokeball without any ball rate modifiers, with no tacky or overdone opening and returning ball animations. It's espeically bad in the older games because every NPC opponent sends in Pokemon with regular Pokeballs so it felt extra tacky when mine would come out with this *different* ball and extra effects.

I see Stephen Georg's... unique naming skills showed up.

Chugga's luck worked against him with those Absols lol.

It's pretty funny you brought up the Poke Radar as I've actually been using it a lot for EV Training purposes recently and something I learned in that process that you might have overlooked is the different types of grass patches and how Radar Exclusive Encounters work with them. The Radar spawns three types of shaking grass, normal patches, fast shaking patches and shiny patches. The radar exclusives only spawn in the fast shaking patches and shiny patches if that is what you're chaining. Very well could have been what you were missing as I don't hear a lot of people talk about the radar much these days, much less the exclusive encounters. Either that or you were doing it right and you were extremely unlucky idk.

So uh if you were saying Ambipom with Technician helped Shadow Claw out It doesn't, Shadow Claw has apparently always been 70 power and it's only below 60 power Ghost move is Astonish

Something worth noting about South-Eastern Unova in the postgame is that almost ALL the trainers have different Pokémon not native in Unova. Personally, I think this is because without seeing them in the game it'd be extremely difficult to see them on the GTS. There could be other reasons, but it's absolutely worth mentioning!

In this episode, I don't have a clever thing to say this time so I'll go to the french names right away. Wormadam=Cheniselle, from chenille (caterpillar) and demoiselle (damsel) Beautifly=Charmillon, from charme (charm) and papillon (butterfly) Illumise=Lumivole, from lumière (light), luciole (firefly) and vol (fly) Masquerain=Markadra from masque (mask), mascarade (masquerade, like the thing that inspired Meawscarada) and a play on mascara (a cosmetic for the eyelashes) Dragonair=Draco, from the latin from dragon Starly=Etourmi, from étourneau (starling) and mimi (cute) Hoothoot=No change here Taillow=Nirondelle, from nid (nest) and hirondelle (swallow) Granbull=No change there Ambipom=Capidextre, from capucin (capuchin) and ambidextre (ambidextrous) Alakazam=No change found Whismur=Chuchmur, from chuchoter (whisper) and murmurer (murmur) That's all for now.

I loved Accumula's song before it was a meme too. I also love Furret so much so I love it more now! And after playing Soul Silver and naming my Furret Accumula who ended up becoming a Return maniac, I ADORE THIS SONG EVEN MORE!!

So much respect for that Stachen reference! That feels like a deep cut these days haha

I have a story about that girl from Accumala Town that wanted an Excadrill for her Ambipom. I went to Victory Road to catch an Excadrill & I’m being serious when I say this. My first dust cloud encounter was a SHINY Excadrill.

The funny part about that Link Trade is that not only it remembers the nickname and stats (not moves iirc) it also remembers shininess. Why would you give her a shiny Excadrill or Hippowdown, I can't tell

Try talking to the lady that asked for a Solid Rock Pokémon again now that you've left the area.

Theres something so delightful about Emile being so excited for medals that he interrupts himself

18:25 "-issimo" is a suffix that means basically "the most," or at least "very" afaik; to play pianissimo is to play very quietly. Piantissimo is basically calling himself (or being called? i dunno if it's his original name) the most Pianta, or the greatest pianta.

I have been having an awful day that has been giving many burden thoughts and watching this video has not only distracted me from my burdens but has cleared my mind. Thank you

I know of another typo, in X and Y, when Lysandre is standing right near boxart legendary and you're gonna fight him, he says "you've got another think coming"

Your story with the Whismur reminds me of a quest in Monster Hunter Generations where you had to get 5 Monster Guts. Those have a 20% chance to be carved off a small monster call Zamite and you can get up to two carves off of them. Doesn't seem too bad, right? You are given 50 minutes to complete the quest and it took me over 45 minutes to carve my last monster gut. 20% is so much smaller than you'd expect.

I'm not sure if its possible to see a Whismur (e.g. in a trainer battle) in BW2, so the GTS method might've actually been impossible since you need to have seen a Pokemon to be able to search for it. It's a weird design choice but thats the way the devs made it. The method you used here is probably the best way of obtaining one for this side quest.

The headcanon of Pokémon appearing for those who need them describes how there are actually Pokémon of numerous levels all around the world, and the ones that you’re going to encounter in a given Route or area are going to be different depending on the Trainer. New Nuvema Town Trainers will find the Lv 2, and postgame will find Level 60.

Theres no creature on earth who would trade an Excadrill for an Ambipom

In this episode: The title steals my joke!

My theory on the levels getting all messed up (and so many non-Unovan Pokemon showing up) is that the many Pokemon stolen and released by or because of Team Plasma throughout the region disseminated and bred, forcing local Pokemon to grow stronger or be driven out, which in turn forced the introduced Pokemon to also grow stronger. The theory has some holes, but eh.

21:00 You could say that _any_ composition by Hitomi Sato is the answer to life’s riddles.

Shadow claw is 70 base power

"I wonder what it'd be like to be a Joltik!" well my friend, you're in luck

The dude who only catches things in poke balls is me also. They’re just my favorite aesthetically.

A small town, but one some can't *fur-get.*

Chugga I will never forget the PP Up joke in emerald. That will always be in the back of my head every time I pick up a PP Up 😂.

18:21 If my memory from band class is correct, pianissimo means to play the instrument very quietly.

13:27 this is so relatable. Though I remember having a friendship with a younger kid in school who I quizzed for pokemon. Like asking him the order of badges or the generation in which pokemon appeared. Also like, which Pokemon evolved into which, their types, names, etc like they did in game. We didn't talk about anything but Pokemon, and I liked it a lot, cause I knew so much of it. I spent lots of time as a kid reading their wiki pages. God, I love Pokemon

13:42 Finally a fellow person of culture

I definitely thought Chugga was gonna do the meme and just have a Furret walking over the end card😂

Creative people may always be on downward spirals… but at least we have Chugga to bring us back :)

26:34 That's probably because the Japanese language only has one word for facial hair. Kinda like how Whitebeard from One Piece only has a moustache.

emile: (praises stoutland) me: he has praised my favourite pokemon, i can die happy now

I too catch all my Pokémon in normal pokeballs. Its something i started when I played gen 6 but prior to that all my team members were in normal pokeballs to show no pokemon was more important than the other.

I wish she had asked for a Kricketune. DELELELELELE WHOOOOOOOOP became s meme in my circle *before* PLA came out and immortalized it in Legend.

BREAK OUT THE FURRET BOYS WE IN ACCUMULA 🎉🎉🎉

Accumala Town's music is too good to be wasted on a town you almost never have a reason to visit. My theory about levels are that levels are strictly a game mechanic, and have no bearing on the actual strength of the Pokemon.

the full Accumula theme is probably top 5 in pokemon

With sheer force nidoking becomes a superb special attacker dispite its middling 85 spatk stat with sheer force and life orbs it can launch devastating special attacks. Some notable moves are focus blast, ice beam, thunder bolt, sludge wave, earth power, and flame thrower. Run it with a timid nature with max evs in speed and spatk

listening to that song at the end just seems to be well worth the effort. absolutley stunning music

10:27 You bring up a good point! In Gold, Silver & Crystal, which is ALSO set 2 years after Generation 1 (because typing out Red, Green, Blue & Yellow takes too long... CRAP!!!), and the Pokémon found in the early routes (1, 2, 3, 4, 22, you get it!) in the Kanto region are STILL in incredibly low levels like in route 29 in the Johto region! They should have gone with that same thing for Black 2 and White 2! I also catch all Pokémon in the modern Pokémon games (starting in generation 6) with ordinary Pokéballs, including Legendary Pokémon! I will often have 999 Pokéballs in many of my save files since I buy them in 10s to get Premiere Balls that I will never use!

13:52 Been the same for me for a while now. It certainly does make some legendary encounters suck a bit more but it's been going well in my SV dex completion so far.

13:52 HEEEEEEY, I did that too for a while, but now I really like having them in special pokeball so when I go to the pokemon Center, I recognize each of them for their pokeball. Also, I want it to match them well. Though I noticed the pokeballs weren't that bad catching if you used status

Here is a theory of my own! The trainer case is a machine that releases a wave that impides pokemon of certain levels to approach a trainer. This wave is then manipulated by the number of badges in your possession. That's why you only get pokemon of certain levels to appear from the wild. The rest are repelled by the low level trainer case This is not a serious theory, but I think it would be cool

I'd like to think I'm not picky about which balls I catch Pokemon in, but the one thing I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT BUDGE ON is to have my entire team of six for a given playthrough in standard Poke Balls. I just like the uniformity of it all, okay?

I think scald should be super effective against the lickitung family

19:24 If I don't see fanart of this at the end of a future video in this series, my disappointment will be immeasurable and my day will be ruined.

I think Alakazam is named “Beardy” because in Japanese, the words for beard and mustache are the same, “hige”.

26:30 Alakazam's nickname is probably because beard and moustaches are named the same in Japanese (髭, ひげ), and I guess the localizers didn't want to think up another nickname like Whiskers? Really weird

Ah yes. The main theme of Furret, the escalator God.

I thought the granny with the Foongus was a joke that it's actually just a pokeball with the "this is a Foongus?" message. It's like old people bad eyesight joke.

That whismur story was essentially what happened with me and skitty. I had black 2 and didn't have white 2 at the time, and the only option I had was to catch a skitty in ruby which took almost an hour and transfer it through platinum since that was the only game I had the transfer park open at the time.

Solution: get another life orb and give it to Aidan

I don't know about metal arse coverings, but I do remember that Hank Hill had the fictional Diminished Gluteal Syndrome. In short, he had no arse.

In regards to calling the Alakazam beardy, if I remember correctly, in Japanese the word for beard can also be used for moustache. I know this because of a character in One Piece who has no beard, but is still known as Whitebeard.

16:16 I don't have an Onix. Immediately goes to next box that shows an Onix

You know it's a Chugga video if you see a pun like that in the title.

20:25 I think you could argue shedinja, but thats a bit of a weird one

This episode felt really cozy! I guess it was that sense of familiarity from the first game?

Pianissimo (stress on the -is syllable, not -si) means 'quietest' in Italian -issimo in general means '-est' in Italian. Don Piantissimo is 'Sir Pianta-est' and the joke is that he's not a Pianta

“In the garbage…and that’s where old people go eventually “-Chuggaconroy 2023

16:44 - Theres another typo in BW2. The guy in the eastern gate of Nimbasa uses says "Zoroark was hiding IT'S lair"

We get closer to where it all began.

The town of the walk of Furret!
