He says the Pokemon names like they are slurs

I need a pokedoku supercut. like 2 hours of this dude absolutely INCREDULOUS that Charizard isn't a dragon for the 57th time.

When he called Gouging Fire a Hot One's sauce I fucking cried

NL malding about not knowing shit about Pokemon gives me such a good laugh

"it's gen 1 its not gonna be dual type" is the funniest line he's dropped playing pokedoku so far

Bro said Torterra for Grass Ground a few days before this one how is he so flabbergasted

Extra funny that he goes off on bellossom while mistaking it for gardevoir, then fumbling the fairy/psychic type (which gardevoir is)

Ground type is bugs because bugs live in the ground. Bug type is anything that flys because bugs fly. Flying type is Pidgey.

"They need someone to re-factor this shit from the ground up!" He sounds like he wants to gentrify Pokémon and it's hilarious

"If jazz is the notes you dont play" is such a good lead in for a burn

The ground type just doesn't exist in his head

Its like cognitive tradeoff theory, the part of our brains that can catalouge 1000 pokemon isnt present in NL's brain because the catalog for every movie and its cast from 1990-2010 has taken its place

We out here getting our G's Maxed.

NL getting Breloom wrong for grass/rock and determining it's not grass is actual insanity.

You know, he has a point, nobody hates Pokémon more then Pokémon fans

Honestly though, the separation between Rock and Ground is pretty stupid and probably only exists to allow for different dirt based moves affecting Flying types differently. Like, you sling mud at a bird, it does nothing, but you throw a pebble and all of a sudden you've killed two of them; it's ridiculous. But also NL just thinks everything's a rock. I can understand not knowing Breloom's Grass/Fighting, but how does he think it's a "rock mushroom", get it wrong, and think the Grass typing was wrong? Where the hell's the rock in Breloom? Is it because it looks like a solid state of matter?

Ground types fuck him up everytime

My favorite is when he's used the pokemon right within the past week and still flips out when he gets it wrong using it differently.

When you're entire frame of reference is a cross over game

me looking at the source tree the first day of my new job as a native react programmer: 1:43

I'm honestly shocked he's still doing Pokedoku lol

what the hell does he mean by "rock mushroom"

i mentally solve this alongside NL and when he picks the same pokémon as me it feels like a personal failing

I lost it at «Regifairy» 😂

Fungus are more closely related to animals than to plants, dont take out your ignorance induced rage at those innocent pokemon, theyve already been palworlded.

I lost it at "Grafayfay" LOL

Did he really think Groudon was Grass type???

i'm happy he acknowledged the sheer power of buzzswole along a similar line, i need everyone to know there's a pokemon caleld guzzlord. insert ex-wfie/your mom jokes

This was an absolutely hilarious video! I never thought of Gouging Fire sounding like a Hot Ones sauce until now but that’s the best way to describe it! (It’s also from an alternate timeline and that’s why it looks like Entei with a funny hat) I’d absolutely watch more videos like this!

2 months later, this video is still undeniable. No reason "..HOT BEE?!" should be that funny

This has to be rage bait right? There is no way he really picked Groudon for grass / rock. There's a lot of pokemon that don't look like their type but the red dinosaur Groudon as a grass and rock rype, both types which have obvious designs for their typing. I wouldn't be complaining had he picked groudon for a dragon type, but rock and grass???????

ngl I'm shocked how much I've forgotten about Pokemon. I casually played red/gold/sapphire and shiny hunted and played in local tournaments from platinum/pearl up until the release of Sun/Moon, and I'm always 1 or 2/9 playing along with NL in pokedoku. My brain just completely purged all the information

me in 1910: togekiss? to gay kiss in this day in age is all i can ask for

He fucking got me dead to rights in the last 30 seconds tbh

Bro it's 6 am and I'm up watching g nl clips. What a time to be alive

snubbull gmax is the funniest thing i’ve ever seen

It's hilarious to watch the egg in a subject that 95% of the audience knows more than him

I hope we have a new series of Ryan trying to logic Pokémon.

I've played all mainline games and he's still doing better than me because my brain gives up immediately...

you know sirtoastytoes was dying at this clip

I got a 46 (it uses Golf Scoring on a scale of 1 to 999) on PokeDoku today and lemme tell you it scratches *just* the right part of my brain to watch him completely lose his mind over PokeDoku. Genuinely hope that this is a permanent addition to the Dulls.

"From the *GROUND* up" Why does he sound like he knew

"Breloom is a rock mushroom" BOY BRELOOM HAS CLAWS AND PUNCHES STUFF IT VERY CLEARLY NOT A ROCK TYPE!

This puzzle is hard but bro is throwing like no other

Holy shit this one killed me

To be fair this a tough one, not many rock grass or fairy rocks

I expected to be flabbergasted by his takes but he ended up being the flabbergasted one and it does make for funny content.

This guy plays a pokemon game regularly this is inexplicable

"They still had something with Toucannon. Oranguru, too." *Looks at Buzzswole* "...Hot Bee?"

Gyatt-max form.

I can't blame him, because i always mix up ground and rock types

This dude acts like he knows EVERYTHING about Pokémon and its fans despite having almost no correct takes this entire video XD

1:01 I’m off that

This is too funny 😂😂😂

What do we gotta do for a Pokémon showdown (random battles probably) live

Man got one

He's so real for this

Old man moment.

3:36 regifairy

Gotta say I really do appreciate him doing pokedoku despite his limited knowledge

Man only played up to gen 3 (if that, seems doubtful) and then surprised when he doesn't know anything...

He make me so angry like it feel like he make error on purpose

This got randomly recommended to me. Watching it is painful (I play Pokémon competitively).

Pokemon fans are looking at this quiz and immediately know several answers. My god this is sad to watch

Bro literally spoke about Gardevoir, how did he not put it??

1:21 no it fucking doesn't

Did…. Did he really try to claim breloom is a rock?

The difference between some types is so arbitrary that you can't blame him. The world turtle isn't rock-type, the unicorn is not a fairy-type, and the volcano god isn't fire-type *unless* it is in its Primal Reversion form.

WHEN YOU FIND OUT YOUR GOAT WASHED 💔💔💔

4:36 bro he literally hasn't played a game since platinum and can't even fully see these pokemon since they're centimeter-wide sprites, and even then that ain't enough 😂

Some mf halfway thru the vid said, "started out so strong." DUDE ONLY HAS ONE ENTRY

i mean he is absolutely right

No one hates Pokémon more than Pokemon fans.

Watching people being confused by Pokémon is absolutely hilarious

I don't blame him for not knowing rock/grass. There are only 2 pokemon in the entire game that have that type combinatuon, and one of them is ogerpon.

BUZZWOLE IS MY FAVORITE POKÉMON RAAAAAAAGGGGHH

What even is this?! What is he doing?

Wow it really is kayfabe huh

there’s no way he’s not purposefully misunderstanding on at least some level…

The rant at the end about pokemon fans is too real. I've never seen a fanbase so toxic to themselves, so hateful to the game they play most, so overly negative about everything. Its like if the League of Legends and Final Fantasy fan bases had a baby. Especially older jaded fans who have hated everything since Gen 4 or 5 and spend all day crying about the new games while they always buy the new one and spend 100s of hours playing

yes, tortoises are famous for being made out of stone. yes, breloom totally has rock. trust me bro someone's washed and it's not pokemon

Ground / rock is the most annoying thing in the world, lmao

From an outside prospective I get this mind set but with context 99% of these designs and typings are fine. (Plus it would get old if every Pokémon had the same style and design philosophy from Gen 1) I’ll only give you Torterra but that’s mainly because Rock and Ground are just similar in some ways.

I'd watch NL just go pokemon by pokemon Gen 4 onward and just make a comment on each one.

can we talk about how darkrai doesnt count as a dark/legendary

He getting so railed up about this, he's just like me fr fr.

This has to be a new type of rage-bait, right guys? I can Hardly believe what i am seeing, i wanna believe this is made up and not meant seriously.

U guys see Pokémon as a game or any other series that’s either good or bad but it’s not that it’s more than that It’s a culture and a lifestyle a living breathing world with a story and lore and characters We form parasocial relationships with these fictional animals because we love them so much and they have so much personality and backstory ​​⁠their dev time is 3-6 actually u just don’t feel it cuz they work on multiple projects simultaneously with the budget of a Disney channel movie around 15-20mil and they have to balance game release with the anime and the cards Everyone can say pokemon should be like Zelda or xenoblade but those games don’t have an anime and a tcg they have to abide by it’s like jenga Also they do make decisions dictated by the competitive scene And they may or may not share resources that part I’m unsure of Hot take: the point of Pokémon is to appeal to the widest audience possible and that there’s something for everyone from mainline to the anime to the spin offs Well maybe if people got into the other avenues of the franchise rather than solely the games u wouldn’t be disappointed Since the series was designed to be symbiotic with itself and to experience every avenue together for a complete experience U guys need to reevaluate ur priorities Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense ​​⁠let’s be real u didn’t get into the original games for the graphics And If u didn’t play games for the graphics as a kid then why would u play them for the graphics now Sorry u forgot what the point of Pokémon was to begin with Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Calling pokemon “lazy” is lazy they got more to do than most devs they make two games and have to be symbiotic with the rest of the series and all this other stuff They can’t delay the game they have a symbiotic release system The games are leashed to the anime,tcg,etc and the anime,tcg etc is leashed to the games Tpc is constantly playing a game of jenga trying to balance each of its branches The games are in development for 3-6 years we just don’t feel it because a lot of times they work on multiple generations at the same time they have two teams the games have a 15-20 million dollar budget They probably share resources Maybe about the sharing idk They have been working on Gen 10 for a few years now Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need Can’t believe people still care about that frame stuff I’m sorry people got so lost and brainwashed by the superficialities of the industry you forgot what Pokémon was originally about And I know that the game isn’t perfect and that there’s issues Pokémon is a franchise where the theme is friendship is magic and meeting cute and cool unique monsters What the hell does graphics and performance have to do with those things? Nothing if you wanna criticize a franchise criticize it on whether or not it delivered on the messages and themes it promised Was friendship magic? Did you meet cute and cool unique creatures? Ok then it’s a good game Those are what’s important to Pokémon As the og theme said Pokémon is about Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through you teach me and I teach you” That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end Then that’s a strong enough ending for me Not sure what graphics and animation and performance has to do with that Performance graphics those things never Mattered You have to remember pokemon games have only been 3D since 2013 that’s pretty recent compared to other games like Zelda that have been 3D since the 90s and early 2000s so obviously they’re gonna be behind Mixed with the fact that They can’t delay the game because main console for only 5 years compared to Zelda since n64 The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games they are still learning as they go so y’all gotta be patient and give them time to catch up Their partnership with take two they’ll apply what they learn back into Pokémon so that’s good You have to remember gamefreak are inexperienced with developing open world games so of course there will be some trial and error the more they work on and improve the game and do future games the better at it they’ll get Rome wasn’t built in a day we need to be patient Assuming we get more open world games NOT TO MENTION ScarVi’s development was probably screwed up by the pandemic Probably turned it upside down And before u say just delay the game They can’t delay the game The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games ​​⁠it’s not outdated it’s rebellious and nonconformist The games aren’t rushed there is a schedule they abide by for symbiosis The games and the anime and tcg are all beholden to each other You can’t move one without ruining the groove Unless you one gen 10 game to come out years after the gen 10 anime and have it spoiled There is a symbiosis there When you watch the anime it makes u wanna play the game and vice versa so they are companion pieces designed to be experienced together for a complete experience They choose to live in their own bubble and be one of a kind and not imitate what everyone else does and they have my respect for that

this dude loves malding about a childrens video game

"Pokemon can only be exactly as I remember it! It shouldn't change over the course of 30 years I don't know everything about it now!" I'm not saying the games are great or that all the designs are a hit, but the guy doesn't understand any of the context, to put the whole franchise down is small-minded. Very rare L take from Northernlion, the man usually has some really great ideas. He saw Kingler Gmax and said "they went too far". Dude, no, you didn't even look at the design you just don't know what the word means. You know the Pokemon, it's literally the same Pokemon but bigger what is he so upset about??

I’m guessing he’s not a Pokémon player.

A single video that explains why I will never watch Northernlion's content. What a [Redacted].

+2

+2 GameFreak sucks

Deflects criticisms by assuming actual fans are rioting idiots

Imo the designs are as good as they ever were (lots of hits and lots of forgettable boring mons). The games are dog since they left the DS though..

Psyduck - literally a psychic duck. Type? Psychic only. Despite all other birds having flying.

This guy talked shit about something he knows nothing about The names are awesome you just need tor context of the lore It was genuinely annoying

He's right, all Pokemon fans hate Pokemon. We're stuck in an abusive relationship and can't get out

I . . . am a little confused why he's doing this puzzle if he doesn't know pokemon? Like no hate at him for not knowing it, I just feel like it's sort of expected that if you take a quiz and you don't know the topic, you're gonna get answers wrong? And that's not really the quiz's fault?
