The huge restraint of John not picking Drowzee during the Yellow round is astounding.

They really should have made orange a category. It would clear up a good amount of confusion.

I'd love to see them do this again, but with pokemon shapes, since Mikey also proved that those were fairly wild and not right either

Underrated moment is John's reaction to the Grimer transforming into ditto while searching for purple

That Tatsugiri moment may be one of the best things in JMC history.

As a colorblind, this is really funny to watch Also, 22:25 at first I was wondering "Why none of them are catching Tinkatink? This is the pinkest thing I've ever seen in my entire life".... but after that Tatsugiri incident, I understand

Love that Mikey caught Gligar, my go-to Pokémon for the colour Purple, as Pink. Absolute genius move, right there.

3:48 Probably the most chill reaction of a shiny.

I’m so glad to see Mikey get some shines this time 😅

I love how Mikey got several shinies throughout the course of this video. Especially the Shiny Male Pyroar.

10:40 I love how the purple blob turned into a slightly smaller purple blob

One thing I'd like to point out about Espeon is that it actually used to be purple. If you look at earlier sprites of it, it actually is purple. Aside from a brief period in Crystal, it first started appearing as pink in HGSS. Even spin-offs during this era depicted it as purple. Source: Bulbapedia

The fact that both Sewaddle and Leavanny are yellow makes it more upsetting that John lost.

For Gligar being classified as purple, in the original gen 2 games (GSC) it was purple and then changed to a more pinkish color in later gens. The older Pokemon's color classification will always be the same as they originally were, regardless if their colors have changed over time.

the despair in john’s voice saying “it’s purple” is killing me

I love it when Mikey says “ the color of blood” 😂😂😂

The turns have properly tabled this time with Mikey's shiny luck

At this point its become a running gag of John starting his Sponsor read when Mikey finds his first shiny of the video lol

The second Mikey was going for Gligar, I was immediately scared since it was purple in the earlier gens, and I didn't think they changed that.

As someone who has done a couple of different colorlocke playthroughs, I was SO STRESSED for John and Mikey during this video lol the Pokedex determined colors really make no sense for a lot of these Pokemon

Geez Mikey getting a shiny before John, never woould have guessed 😅😅

Mikey's outbursts are always a delight to spectate.

On a hunch, looked up Gligar's early sprites, and it's... confusing. In gen 2, it was pink. In gens 3 and 4, it looks purple. Only from gen 5 onwards does it become pink again and stay that way. I checked when the sorting by colour mechanic was introduced and lo and behold, it was in gen 3, when it still looked purple. Gliscor is also classified as purple btw (despite clearly being gray) so at least Mikey's theory of giving the same colour to evolutionary lines is holding up. By that logic, I guessed that Lotad would be green because Lombre and Ludicolo are primarily green, and I was right! It is classified as green. So you guys really did learn something from this challenge and helped us make more sense of this nonsensical classification.

Jon can't keep getting away with interrupting Mikey's shinies with ads lmao

We learned nothing - pm7 2023

I'm having sushi tonight after having to relive this!

If John and Michael did battles in Unite competing for who gets the higher contribution score with a roulette deciding their pokemon, that could be fun.

Being colorblind made this an experience

Mikey’s shiny news getting interrupted by John’s sponsor is always going to be funny to me😂

Every one talking about mikey getting shiny But that CLEARLY ORANGE Tatsugiri classified as pink is OUTRAGEOUS

Also they fixed Roaring Moon at some point, since Home classifies it as blue now. The real weird outliers in gen 9 are Rabsca (green) and Orthworm (pink), imo. Also Okidogi counts as black (all the Loyal Three do), making 15:54 extra amusing.

Can we just laugh at the fact that it had to end the John Michael cup for Mikey to finally use the power he stole from the shiny gods?

The way John goes into the sponsor when Mikey gets a shiny is the best thing of these videos honestly.

Definitely need another one of these videos as part of the JMC Season 3.

It seems that the shiny gods have finally forgiven Mickey.

Ai, so many pokemon, but so limited colours that keep on getting repeated colours, Laughed so much at John's encountering a Grimer, but instead it was a Ditto!!! Congrats on the shinies. Mikey screaming at 22:28 scared me too and then seeing the Tatsugiri situation is a bit unfair that lead to the draw for the round. However, hilarious ending as always.

I like how in each of these challenges, John always finds a way to be clueless while Mickey just smiles

Not only did Michael catch a Shiny. He caught a shiny Male Pyroar.

Wooo, good job Mikey getting a bunch of shinies! Love that every success is a flat 'yay' and every failure is an incredulous 'HOW?'

7:16 Me, whenever I have to pay my taxes.

Oh wow, an almost 2 hour Grunty Boi playthrough AND a JMC exhibition match? We eating good today!

Four minutes in and Michael has 3 shinies, two before the video, and John has none. Is it opposite day or something?

Honestly that tastsugiri and the swadloon were 2 of the best moments of the JM cup

The battle between finding shiny pokemon for these two is fantastic.

Gligar's color is so inconsistent that depending on the game it can even look blue to the point i wonder if i ran from a shiny at some point

Alternate title: 25 minutes of emotional damage

Wow PM7, Ad bombing on Mikey's shinnies almost all the time when you get most shinnies from each episode of the JMC tournaments, I see your cheeky tactics. 🤣🤣

I love when John starts the sponsor when Mikey gets a shiny

Michael WILL catch a shiny this episode, I’m calling it. I wish you luck Michael. Edit: MICKEY CAUGHT NUMEROUS SHINIES!

I like how Mikey is the Donatello and John is the Michelangelo in these videos.

10:18 John booing Mikey because they both know it's purple Also John: catching the varoom line for grey

If i had a nickel for every time Mikey gets a shiny and john completely ignoring that and goes right into his sponsorship, i would have 2 nickels

5:16 This is Mikey being “silent but deadly”.

Well that was a crazy video. If these practice run videos are any indication of what’s to come, season 3 of the JMC is going to be INSANITY!

I can’t believe Mikey got better shiny luck than John for once

The one time Mikey is grateful that John got a shiny

Okay, we need another one of these like ASAP. This was hilarious

This is definitely one of the funnier episodes of the JMC

Okay THAT was cathartic. I was quite happy with how it ended. HILARIOUS.

Fun fact: The Tatsugiri color fiasco was actually fixed possibly because of this video. It was officially listed as Pink for Curly and Red for Droopy on the Mobile version of Pokemon HOME but the accidentally mixed labelling was corrected so now they're actually their correct color. Also 3 pokemon I noticed while looking at the colors that were really silly were Qwilfish, a tossup between blue and green so not one people would probably use as a first choice, is actually neither and is gray, and Volcanion and Wo Chien, two legendary pokemon that are pretty heavily red and black respectively(though I could see green for a weird Wo Chien color) are both brown. For some reason.

Mikey gets his first shiny before John in one of these and he just says "In other news, that's a shiny Pyroar" with the most monotone voice I've heard him use

If John caught a Drowzee he could have edged

Love how John is talking and Mikey is going insane😂

10:45 @PM7 Ditto is purple.

Can't wait for PM7 to yet again find a shiny in a video.

Cliffe, PMZ and Mikey (twice) uploading in 2 hours is A-Mazing

Spoink being designated as black has to be one of if not THE most egregious color sorting in this video!😂

Tanks and body pillows were not what I expected from a sponsorship, yet here I am.

I love seeing these guys fret over grey, and me just sitting yelling out Geodude!

Hehe this might be the second time that John launched into his sponsorship segment just as soon as Mikey spots a shiny, just stealing his thunder

Mickey actually found shines that’s amazing

Pm7 is a certified baddoe.

Best poketuber pair nobody can change my mind ❤

Congrats to Mikey on the early shiny!✨

PM7 is like the villain who spends 20 min expositing on his evil plan while the hero just foils it.

Mikey: finally gets a shiny before John. John: uses that for a sponsor segment.☠☠☠

I looked it up out of curiosity, Lotad is green, so good thing he didn't take that advice.

I do love how insane Pokemon are with assigning the colour categories with lack of consistency. Like there are ones where its the main colour of the whole line, there are ones where its the main colour of the base form for the whole line regardless of how it changes, there are ones where the colour switches aroundmid-line even though the proportion of colours is consistent. Not to mention ones that are clearly contradictory to the actuall design (trash cloak burmy being red always comes to mind when it is clearly pink the based on the typically pink fibre glass insulation) And it's not even like they followed logic X in gen 4 but then in gen 5 they used logic Y the logic is a complete hodge podge.

Mickey is getting his Shiny Luck back.

Mikey: "Umbreon is black surprising no one what is ghastly" John in defeat: "purple" 😂😂

This is before I watch the video, John has a 9/10 chance to fond a shiny while Mikey has a 1/10 chance *Edit: I was proven wrong in the first 3 minutes of the video

3:19 Well, gray is basically pastel black😅

Petition for John to give a shiny to Mikey every time he interrupts Mikey catching a Shiny as punishment for being incredibly rude.

3:50 His shiny luck has returned!

Its a great day when you guys post! This video was so chaotic! Made my day! ❤

Mikey's strenght in logic fails him when pokemon itself out logics itself

Love that middle evolution color troll.

Mickey said ‘I hate farm animal Pokémon’ But he loves Gogoat 😂

@4:32 - John that's not a P-51. That looks like some kind of hybrid of a Messerschmitt Bf-109 and a Supermariner Spitfire.

That Shiny dratini round should have taken away one of John's strikes. If you can find a random Shiny that is the color you are looking for in the round, that's worth some kinda of bonus

Burst out laughing when I saw that Leavanny is yellow and not green lmao

this was an absolutely hilarious and amazing episode. gotta love the chaos

Ditto is pink

6:30 confirm, it's Da Ba Dee! And the artists singing it, Eiffel 65, are italians like me :D

I love how they commuincate with eachother but at the same time such good friends its so funny and just so fun to watch. Countinue to make these videos PM7!

Love how we just see Okidoki in the background of john catching gastly at 15:55

I wonder what shiny John will find today

yes, my favorite green Pokemon, Roaring Moon

15:55 Okidogi just casually sitting in the background.
