I think we can all respect the opinion that the G-Max forms are way better in terms of conveying character and personality than the Mega evolutions

Which is why I was beyond happy when he gave S tiers to Rowlet and Decidueye.

Yeah imagine how cool it would have been to have an actual hell dog

Extra heads for his would feel off to me, but what would be badass are two skull-shaped cannons attached to his bone-armor, spitting fire along with Houndoom. Almost makes me wanna redesign this Mega

HE SHOULDVE HAD TWO EXTRA SKULLS FOR SURE

@@kash9418 I always imagined it as two fake dog heads made out of smoke but I like your idea, too.

I can imagine the pokedex stating that houndoom gets depressed for a while after a mega battle due to missing its two new head friends

Or at least give it shoulder armor that looks like two more heads...

Isn't it bad omen in Japan though?

@@JeskidoYT The name is literally Houn*doom* (*Hell*gar in Japanese). I don't think being a bad omen is off brand.

I know right? maybe in future gens with alternate looks they'll finally give us that cool design..

A cerberus houndoom would have been insane.

Well to be frank, the mustache looks pretty fucking cool

Also, to be frank, most of the megas really are just spiky or over the top messes. Some, like Beedrill and Mawile, are good, but a lot are Sharpedo and Tyranitar. A bunch of extra stuff that busies up the design.

@@Spannondorf I like the spike/tooth placement on Mega Garchomp’s chest, makes it look like a buttoned-up leather coat, like Sonic Boom’s Dr. Eggman. Gives it more character, makes em look less like a random mess of shark teeth on torso.

And he's right!

I love that I see you comment on so many videos I watch. Nice to see a content creator I like share similar tastes.

Latios and Latias are my favorites from Gen 3. Their megas were my sole disappointment from ORAS.

Mega Lati@s were just gimmicks for the soar feature, let's be honest.

Agreed

They shouldn't have gotten an F, same with Mega Mewtwo X. Mega Mewtwo X is an A! >:(

Except my boy Mega Altaria who is the ultimate floof. :(

@@TrAnMu Mega Altaria looks like a dog attacked a bird plush, not like a bird flew into a cotton candy machine.

@@SirStarKnight your grammar looks good to me:)

@@aarons2557 Thanks man! :D

The irony that galarian weezing actually makes the air cleaner is not lost

He doesn't know how his ranking works lol

80% of Pokémon fall into b tier

I feel like one is it want from A to B, the other is it goes from C to B

I feel like the only people who say this on every one of these videos are the ones mad because their favourite pokemon got dunked on

You should watch his last tier list, 90% of pokemon got b tier in that.

*king dragon sends his regards*

"Ha! I think that enemy wants... to battle!"

What about...Young Rattata?

@@jasonwoodring4479 , now we are taling. Young Rattata is a S Tier character.

Furthermore, the weird back thing is supposed to be a railgun, and that one rock in it fires out.

It's a reference to those old Wooly Willy toys just like Probopass.

yea it makes no difference that it's still stupid af looking

​@@satch4684just like you :)

"This is an improvement" *gives it a lower tier*

@@Minuey "This is as bad as the previous one" *Gives it a higher tier*

Lmao

tbf that all corsola is good for!

Mood

ProZ is clearly a ghost type trainer.

Corsola legit DID improve by dying. In competitive Corsola was always an also-ran without much going on about it, but Galarian Corsola and its evolution figured out a way to actually be interesting and good. Galarian Corsola's also one of the few with the dubious honor of being better than its final evolution; they only really want to be tanks, and Galarian Corsola + Eviolite has better defensive stats than Cursola.

S is for Sacrifice

@@eoincampbell1584 suffering

OH LAWD HE COMIN'

And yet big fluffy Eevee is a B tier.

And then the PetPets. And then the PetPetPets.

Yes!

Boosting because this desperately needs to happen

One video. Every color of every type.

Xweetok ftw!

The movie made me think they were like teenagers and I guess purple is their matured color.

If it was like a fusion thing it would be awesome if they became purple (and only one obviously). But they're no Kyurem.

They should have AT LEAST made them different shades of purple. Like c'mon.

Mega Latias has yellow eyes and Mega Latios has red eyes.

Right?? Gmax forms definitely have some misses, but not nearly as many as the Megas do. And almost all of the Gmax’s have a well thought-out concept behind them, as opposed to the Megas which are mostly just just bigger, spikier versions of the OGs.

they definitely got a lot sillier with the gmax forms, which is a good thing. they went all-out with being as ridiculous and over the top as possible, which is why they hit so much harder

Mega-Centiskorch: :(

The designs are fine, although personally a bit too busy for me - people just didn't like the mechanic in general.

I honestly like the designs of some Gigantamax Pokémon but think the actual mechanic is either utterly broken or utterly useless depending on the Pokémon using it

Thats weird, in the VGC community thats a pretty standard opinion. Also the desings are fire

Note that he's only talking about the designs of the pokemon, not the gameplay aspect of it at all. And in that way yeah, Gigantamax as a concept is pretty stupid and just way worse than Mega Evolutions but the designs of the pokemon are way better.

@@lori977 Who cares about the competitive pokemon community?

Zacian Crowned is also the tier.

@@aedd3307 As is Moody Bidoof

@@aedd3307 I mean not really, he has been Uber for a whole f year xD

@@pokemonkarma Zacian Crowned is banned from Ubers

@@aedd3307 That's literally what I said but ok

Mega mawile is Rad

Yeah

Mega Mewtwo X is amazing

Mawile already has that cute but badass look going on because of the mouth hair, and Mega Mawile just adds gas to the fire. Loved that it got bigger and the slight outfit change to add to its threatening look and the twin tails made it even cuter. Easily in my top 5 Megas if not top 3 even.

For me, it's the "ponytail to pigtails" aesthetic

only his tail got bigger, much much bigger

I think Gigantamax starters do have a specific style and genre that they fall into. Like the Kanto are all extreme version of what they are based on, the Galar are just big body part

That's true for the most part of all three Galarian starters. Rillaboom got a big drum kit, Cinderace got a big soccer/fire ball, and Intellion got a big sniper tower.

I think so!

I think he gave f tier to like some random rock pokemon or something? I forgot, but this isn't the first time he gave an f tier

@@yowatchie in your opinion

He gave Bibarel F tier too

He Gave a F Tier towards Bidoof's evolution, if i can remember

I think we all did.

It still is - but it's a *good* joke.

Same here, also gmax Inteleon

I'll back him up on that. Megas were overdesigned, and mechanically just a nightmare. Gigantimax is a little goofy, but often have cleaner designs, and is a better battle mechanic overall. Also, Gigantimax isn't a nightmare for the game development side of things.

In terms of design, many of the gigantamax forms are clever and cool, while many of the megas are ugly and look like bad fan made evolutions

Megas look so fricking dumb, and they are a nightmare to design and program.

@@Ty_Hill mega Lucario and mega Houndoom pissed me off so much for how badly made they are

Ngl since he brought it up he's got a point that a lot of the megas are just "add spikes"

wait it launches geodudes??

Eh, Rypherior did it already.

A WHAT

OH DAMN I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A MAGNET

Yep this is true. In the sun and moon anime you see golem grabbing geodude next to them putting them in their cannon and just fires them.

PLEASE So many are bad I need them to get roasted

Ranking them against the original!

@@doctormonkeybreath4020 it’s so many to go through I’d be totally fine with a rating system of Good / Meh / Awful

Yessss pls

I think the hardest part would be deciding what images to use for the videos if he did it. These tier lists have all used the official art, but AFAIK most shiny variants don't have art for them and only appear in the games.

By the end, he should be ranking Fighting Foodons.

Rate the characters? Some Pokemon characters and Gym Leaders are amazingly cool in appearance and personality, but some look outstandingly stupid and goofy (e.g the entirety of Team Flare).

LMFAO THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED

@@mervillesin4148 the first S+ ever. And the tier is based solely on hotness

While i agree making pokemon big is kinda dumb, but by making it big it can get many expressional design without making it look stupid. Much better rather than spike and flames and overdetailed everywhere.

Also, M-Tyranitar isn't just spiky, he's the Space Godzilla to regular Tyranitar's Godzilla

Mega beedrill more needles not necessarily better but it’s fine b tier Nice job!

I love mega beedrill

bee tier

@@brickjam69 I can't beelieve you made such a pun

I actually can’t believe he thought Mega Beedrill was a B

And he's right!

Different pokes for different folks I guess

yeah i really can't get behind Ponyta, Galarian especially. I just don't like horses, their legs are too spindly and weak and they have a long face. I want a strong, tough bodied pokemon you know? something stout and compact.

@@galarstar052 Horse skeletons will never not be weird, unsettling, and funny. They look like small, spooky dogs. Just giant, small dogs.

It will become waifu tier list lol

@@ardraagatama2858 don't pretend that's not something you want

@@EHerminator lol u got me

Cursola and Galarian Corsola are absolutely metal concept-wise. We've got a zombie that's essentially trapped in its' own body, and once its soul physically escapes, it's still tethered to the grisly remains.

Big Mothra energy

I really feel bad for Beedrill since it lost its mega, since even if it was in game it would just suck.

Id like to add mega pincer to this list. Regular pincer is kinda garbage. But airielate pincer with higher speed and flying typing. OH HO HO did i wreck some try hards with that bad boy.

@@danielstachowiak568 Mega Pincer always had the flaw of being high maintenance, when all the maintenance payed off, IT PAYED OFF BIG TIME. (Seeing things just cleaved by a +2 Return was always satisfying)

Now I'm imagining Mega Ampharos with straight hair 💁‍♀️✨

@@zinzolin14 you mean Alolan Ninetails?

Too bad sword and shield suck

One of the reasons I disliked Megas ever since their reveal were the designs. I'm not a 'ugh original designs were much better' person, some of them looked better than their original form but in general Megas were in ProzD's words "busy" (as in overdesigned, too much).

@@ciaranhayes3212 ok

If only that gave them good designs

Most of the megas have Pokedex entries that make mega evolving sound genuinely terrible to experience.

Well no wonder Glalie looks like it has a dislocated jaw now

Scizor evaporates

@@bigsoda Honestly the body horror stuff with the mega evolution is really interesting.

yes.

All comes down to preference even if it contradicts what he said earlier lol

Yeah but Rattata's color got uglier, Vulpix's got better.

If they have go full mustache on it, it would have got a B for Boldness.

imo Vulpix does a complete 180 in aesthetic but Ratata just,, changes color

It's Effie!

Lasaga

Like she has her regular body but where her face is supposed to be, there’s a hole and within that is a much smaller person and you can see their body separately from hers

Better yet, a train

I do. And I've always wondered why people liked them. The game after they were introduced made a few better ones, but overall ehhh?

@@cortster12 I do believe this is why everybody hated Megas when they were added, but then when SwSh got rid of them suddenly they were beloved - people just had time to firget how awful most of them look and only remembered the good designs

There's a hand full of decent ones but overall they look stupid.

Or all pokemon professors or gym leaders, that would be cool too!!!

All NPC for sure

Well hey, good news we got the Gen 4 Remakes coming later this year lol

Hi!

That's funny because I have all five Gen 4 games, and since Gen 5 was on the 3DS I was left behind to play the re-play the Gen 4 games until Gen 7 came out.

Yeah me too, just started to play gen 6 like a week ago

@@darthsacul3940 gen 5 wasn't on the 3ds lol

He's totally Yugi. He has the coat/cape, and the Duel Disc.

Which one? I see both Meowth and Machamp. Tbh i wouldn't mind though, because Meowth is funny and I simp Machamp

imagine a gigantamax Wailord... he'd be a freaking planet at that point.

@@taloscal if you Dynamax a Wailord it looks roughly as large as it's supposed to normally. And then they put the wild Wailord in Isle of Armor and I wish I hadn't caught it

What's actually funny is it makes sense for the dragon typing too. I learned this today through lockstin and gnoggin (highly recommend their channel), but basically its partially based on a mo-o (or something like that) and in the western world we adapted the word to mean dragon, but its really lizard (specifically gecko) with special powers, most often shapeshifting. And what did they turn into most? Humanish things and palm trees. Mo-o dragon tree

If you've played Colosseum or XD, you'll notice that Wailord basically takes up the entire fucking screen lmao. All the other models are TINY in comparison haha

Gigantamax Wailord that grows so large it devours the battlefield, becoming a terrain effect, with its uvula being the target wen?
