the Delibird reaction was everything 😭

Mikey: *Worries about getting all sweaty in the volcano area* Also Mikey: *Is literally in Hawaii*

The slight pain in Mikey's voice when he called Crabominable beautiful says it all about this run.

"Add it to your collection, Lusamine!" That's cold, dude.

"Add it to your collection, Lusamine!" That was unexpectedly savage.

Between complimenting Smoochum, Delibird, and Crabominable, as well as commending Lusamine for her frozen Pokémon “collection”, I can tell Michael really had to bite his tongue for the role of this playthrough lmao.

Between having multiple consecutive losses, regularly changing the team composition, and not getting to use Z-moves until the literal endgame, I think it's safe to say that the Unova Bug Catcher playthrough is no longer Mikey's least favorite team. Shame, since the Ice-type gets enough flak as it is, but what can you do?

Nobody: Literally Nobody: Ice Mikey: After 4:00 pm the ocean turns into *F A N T A*

Let's be honest here: The ONLY reason Mikey did this challenge was for that cool scarf flip in the intro 😂

As a dragon type trainer, I should be furious about this. But I cannot deny that Ice is such an underrated type that I think it deserves such a playtrough. (Plus Kyurem exists, proving that Dragon and Ice can coexist)

What about an only Poison Types run? That could provide for an interesting personality.

15:33 the epic training montage was great. Definitely one of the best parts.

Grunty Boy’s confusion turning to “Ah, I see you’re doing one of these” and immediate understanding of how to get Mikey’s attention is pretty funny.

Man, now I wanna see one of these done with only Normal-Types and it’s either the most mind-numbingly boring character playing, or somebody who’s absolutely insane but convinced that they’re completely normal.

The fact that he knows the Z move dance so well is terrifying and glorious at the same time Hail Yeah to ice

The Ice type is my favorite, and I always thought it was weird that Alola had a Type specialist for every type EXCPT ICE! Makes sense, Tropical island, blah blah blah... But STILL! I would absolutely be the ICE specialist! I don't like hot weather anyway, i'd live on Mount Lanakia, Snow is awesome!

@6:34 the Watchmojo gag had me dying 😂

I’d love to see a monotype run where you’re dressed up as Mr. Crocker from fairly odd parents and obsessed with catching all the “faiRy GoD pAReNts” (fairy types) in like X and Y or Alola again

As someone who specializes in ice types themselves I'm glad to have seen this. Though have to say my Ice type team I ran through Alola was a bit similar to yours my only difference was instead of Lapras I had a Glaceon

This video taught me an important lesson about a Pokémon of my third favorite type, and that is to never let Dewgong use a physical move.

"Add it to your collection, Lusamine!" That cracked me up.

Who wants him to do a Sword/Shield run with Electric types as the Electric gym leader? Edit: Damn, thanks for the likes, and my comment aged well lol

Appreciation comment for Katie the editor. The editing on these videos are actually incredibly and so enjoyable, thank you for being so great.

15:01 Michael is letting his inner Paul out.

Ice types are my favorite

Man, even for a tropical region, Alola really mistreated the ice type

That training montage deserves a "hail yeah!"

Michael:I’ve never seen a Pokémon this beautiful Lockstin:Are you sure about that

Genuinely surprised you didn’t buy the Aurora Veil TM for your Ninetales. It had snow warning so it would’ve been free double defense at all times.

Started off slow and got more powerful quickly near the end. I guess you could say, this team snowballed pretty hard

4:43 nooo... frozen with lava

When Michael in-character complimented Smoochum and Delibird, it gets the genuine chuckle out of me. But when he complimented Crabominable, I was diying from laughter

1:33 technically you don’t become the kahuna of poni island, you do something even cooler (pun intended). You become the first ever champion of the region and climb the one ICE location in the game, Mount Lanakila. This is where you find most of the regional ice types, including in tapu village at the foot, the Icium Z crystal, get the TM for Ice Beam AND you literally get a throne on the top of the huge ice mountain overlooking your domain of Alola. The game literally tells you you are meant to be the ice type specialist, the best trainer in alola. Plus, if you wanted to become Kahuna of Ula Ula, Nanu seems like he wants to retire. And you could make friends with mimikyu down the mountain at the ghost trial. Thank you for coming to my Ice Type Alola Ted Talk. FYI did this run in Pokémon moon where there’s like 15 available Pokémon and it was a blast. I including island scans cuz is more fun that way.

28:18: now this is absolutely epic, and hilarious at the same time.

8:25 lol!

Finally. Good to see the ice type getting some love.

This is also why my Alolan champion uses ice types. Glace the Sandslash, Aurora the Ninetales, Chill the Lapras, Blizz the Froslass, Winter the Weavile, and Frost the Abomasnow.

9:00 now im curious what about TEAM SKY try conquering the skies of alola? kina they can make a second base in poni island since there no kahunas (except the ice kahuna if gonna mix universes and the little girl)

As an ice-type lover, this video was much appreciated.

Me early in the video: Oh, cool, he's using a Seel, he'll actually have a Dewgong on his team for the entire playthrough! Maybe he'll gain some newfound respect for Dewgong as a species from this! Me after Mikey catches Vulpix, Swinub, and Snorunt: We're never seeing Blubba again, are we.

Gotta love how Mikey's first "ice type" is actually one that is super effective against ice

the subsitute doll is the most superior ice type specialist tbh

I love doing these mono type runs in games. makes some battles that much harder, but always worth it when you overcome the challenge.

Can't wait for Team Sky in Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar

28:31 this is no ordinary laugh, this is the laugh of ultimate joy, after going through insanity and back.

He gets into deep character with these kinds of videos. It makes it a lot more entertaining to watch.

6:35 I've seen this meme written out before, but never the full audio line. It absolutely sent me.

Grunty boi needs his own channel where he just does random everyday things in character lol. Also you may resist Araquanids bubble but it's ability water bubble doubles the damage of it's water moves so it's technically doing full damage to you.

God i love these videos from Michael so, so much. They really are a treat from beginning to end.

As someone who's favorite type genuinely is Ice... thank you. I know they suck in fights but it's nice to see them succeed somewhere. At least.

24:04 I guess you could say… ice guys always finish last

I used a Crabrawler on my first ever playthrough team in alola, and did not know that it even evolved. I only found out that it evolved into its next form when I was about the fight the Pokémon league

I love how Michael stays in character all the time. Makes these videos so entertaining to watch.

This challenge was such a breath of fresh air. Mikey knew the trouble of doing an all Ice Type team and pulled through to the end. Way to show some respect for one of the toughest types to use as it's considered the worst type in the whole game.

Fun fact: my first ever shiny was a crabwraller (idk how to spell it XD) but I didn’t realise for years lol, then I finally got around to evolving it, and I rlly like the shiny

As a BIG lover of the Ice type, I was actually considering doing this myself. But I never had the time to do it, so thanks Mikey. Thank you for doing what I have wanted for a long time

Alola finally getting some representation from Michael, thank you for blessing us with Unova's narrative runner-up and the most underrated and fun main series game 🙏👏

i admire the fact that you put in a silly little scene of the pokémon training instead of just cutting to when they evolved

4:36 is one of my favorite parts now and I haven’t even finished the video. I Love your content

I actually really like Ice types (I once swept 2 elite 4 members with my Glaceon, and thought ice types were pretty powerful) and since pokemon challenges keeps putting them down, I really wanted to see a mono ice type run. So it was really nice to watch this 😃😃😃

ice types are criminaly underrated, glad to see a fellow ice type enthusiest.

“LOOK AT MY SCARF! MY…women’s scarf” -Mickey

13:47 It's been so long since I've played SM or USUM that before he said that was the sea after 4 p.m., I momentarily was severely confused as to were he found a lava pool in Alola, let alone one with a wooden dock. Also, I am genuinely amazed Mikey pulled off mimicking one of those Z-move dances. Those things ain't easy to get down.

My heart is just warming up with Alola as it’s my second favorite Gen. Plus Mikey is on of my favorite poke tubers!

His reactions to catching Smoochum and Delibird were priceless lol!

this is literally one of my favorite videos ever. love you mikey!

one of the funniest pokémon videos i’ve ever watched PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE

Yes! Ice types are my favorite! I even did an Ice run as well in Ultra Sun, though I sent over an Alolan Vulpix I had bred to use as my starter.

I really love Crabominable, I got a Shiny Crabrawler on Ultra Sun at the beginning of the game and I really enjoyed using a giant red fluffy crab Also, i love the fe3h soundtrack in the background

"seems michael has a awful lot of Z-crystals" "Yes, but none that matter"

The single type Pokémon play through always bring me so much joy 😂❤️

Crabominable is super underrated IMO. It has good Attack and a pretty great movepool to work with its abilities. No chance of competitive use, but in the story you can just use your boosted Hammer moves to nuke everything you see.

They should really buff the ice type at least add a couple more resistances other than other ice types and maybe one other type it is super effective against otherwise give some it some neutral damage to other types

Also also, you sound like a retired villain this entire play through and I absolutely love it.

"You will know the cold chill of de@th." - Sub-zero

I love that we've gotten to the point where Grunty Boy is calling Mikey weird. The tables have turned.

22:53 “Added to your collection Lusamine?” 💀

Well rough start but he pulled through, of course it's a good thing Alola has Ice types halfway through the game instead of near the 3rd half of the end. But really I hope this means he'll finally do an *Ice Type then vs now* video!

Comedian in pokemon trainer clothing, I love your content!

I haven't seen the Alolan region is so long The nostalgia has come back like a brick

15:31 that was the best training ark I’ve ever seen 🤣💙💛

Ice Type Trainer Mikey: it’s just bubble Crawbrawler: **Kirby Screams** Ice Type Trainer Mikey: iT’s JuSt BuBbLe

I love so much how deep you are in your role in the Videos :D

“Ice Mikey”:Names his vulpix “storm” Meanwhile me and Team Sky Mikey: MORE WETNESS

Bro, this was a blast to watch! Great video!

I did this in Sun (non Ultra) for the same reason (the lack of an Ice specialist). Because of their lack of availability, I allowed myself to trade in a Lapras egg to act as my starter, and when I got to Tapu Village I traded in a Sandshrew egg (since it's a Moon exclusive). The rest of my team was Crabominable, Ninetales, Froslass, and Weavile. One thing I always do whenever I do a monotype run is to pick a name that goes with the type, like Arthur for a Bug-type run of Shield (because "arthropod"). After much deliberation, for my Ice-type run of Sun, I named my character Elsa.

Im so happy that he evolved Snorunt into Froslass. I can tell you this, from my Pokemon Shield playthroughs, Froslass is an absolute beast. Got a Level 20, max Dynamax level Froslass (With Snow Cloak) before even going to Motostoke. I loved destroying every single trainer, and Milo's face when I sent out Froslass with a move set of hail, double team, shadow ball, and ice fang. A beautiful, scary, and powerful Pokemon, wish I used Froslass before Sword and Shield, we need more love to it

10:20 "well this is humbling" (Humble starts playing)

28:28, never seen more pure happiness in one icy man

"Who would have passion for the sky?" * Team Sky Mikey shows up*

"Ohh Chrimmas, you and your complete lack of stats." *WolfeyVGC:* YOU UNDERESTIMATE ITS POWER!!!!

Mikey: "fire and ice are enemies" Todoroki: *doubt*

"And who would have passion for the sky?" Mikey the team sky leader: BOMBASTIC, SIDE EYE

Funnily enough, Lillie is a sort of ice specialist in the anime, being the only one to use the Ice Z-Move.

The faces Mikey makes while being in character crack me up everytime 🤣

I love the continuation of Grunty boy becoming weirded out by Michaels immersion in his characters, it hilarious and ironic.

I'm very late to the party, but "Dragonslayer" is the coolest possible title for an ice type specialist.

8:59 Mikey: Who would have passion for the sky? Team Sky: Um, me.

I love ice types! They are my favourite type so I am really happy. Thanks dude!
