I can imagine Werner Herzog saying that.

Okayu is the antagonist of Pokémon The Movie 2000. "Ware wa Collector"

@@timepatroltrunks8276 nop, okayu is the antagonist of sinnoh part in the pokemon anime, she is paul.

In reality though, Okayu's just being the regular pragmatist who's removing the veil of illusion in Pokemon and effectively behaving as anyone would in a world where we recreationally fight against other Pokemons. I mean, if they were so precious as friends in the first place to the population of Pokemon, they wouldn't stop you all the time for a fun battle until all of someone's owned Pokemons collapse from violence.

So basically... Subaru is Ash and Okayu is Gary.

Okayu is Shinji confirmed???

She's just like those little kids that has just started playing pokemon. She doesn't care about their utility that much and just want to take care of them.

Her inexperience is the best thing about her playthroughs. She was a normie her entire life, only just now getting into gaming. So to her she really is feeling all the wonder and excitement that we felt playing these games for the first time as kids.

@@akeno3872 I mean I think this is her first pokemon game? So she is actually having that experience.

​@@penttikoivuniemi2146 I believe she was outdoor type when she was child, after the surgery of course

@@penttikoivuniemi2146 she played sword and shield before

Subaru is Ash while Okayu is Red XD

Okayu is Paul.

Well don't forget her fans are literally prisoners that never look happy so it's not out of character.

Fun fact, one way to get around this is to trade your starter, level it up in another game, and trade it back. It doesn't count as a traded pokemon cause it was yours to begin with :)

@@Purpletrident Then why won't you just level it up in it's original game?

leveling at high-level areas gives waaay more exp

@@rovidelarosa maybe you are trying to fill the Pokedex and while you are at it you need the exclusive Pokemon from another version and to get those you need to farm a lot, having a starter OP helps a lot

"This is to discourage getting a super-high level Pokémon from someone else and just breezing through the rest of the game." Yeah....and its still a bullshit reason. The game is freaking easy even without doing something like that.

Since Okayu is acting like Paul, I'd say it's more accurate to compare this to Paul's Chimchar. If Subaru keeps Onix on her team for the fight against Okayu later, it will be exactly like Chimchar lol

@@archmusher8237 poor Onix is probably gonna get murdered in that fight though

This is more like Subaru's James and Okayu's the Magikarp Salesman.

"That old duff just wants to fiddle with his Pokedex. He's wrong! Pokemon are for fighting!" -Agatha, of the Elite Four.

@@ShadowMudkip123 Infernape beats out Onix on speed but if the Onix has Sturdy ability and knows Eathquake it will survive the opening hit and one shot Infernape.

Well, Gura did name her Psyduck shubashuba

It's so rare to see another Onix fan these days

i mean with those stats i would prefer being a steelix fan

I love Onix as well, steelix looks like a badingus

I like zubats ;-;

@@Crobat7269 zubats are cool, I also really like golbat, he also look like a badingus but in a funny, lovable way you know :))

Kinda.... ironic

You're not wrong lol

Why is this the opposite for me? 🤣

@@angkunehonghindimakali speedrunning strats

@@JTechCreeper29 I'm not the type to speedrun though? 🤣

Typical of Okayu Oak. I bet she has a groupies' of girls fawning of her.

What's that cute critter in your icon?

@@shupasopni a snom wearing a hollow knight mask

traded pokemon will ignore commands until you get the first badge

@@XemnasKH Actually in Sinnoh, any 'mon past level 10 will ignore you until you get two badges, then the cap is 30.

@@SilverScizor753 yeah that's what I remembered

More badge, more obedience

@@SilverScizor753 I don’t remember that feature. When I was in the first gym, all my Pokémon were at least level 13 to 16. Unless you meant all traded Pokémon.

I mean, he sleeps enough to be a cat too

I thought after getting the first badge they obey up to 20.

My bad! I've fixed it, thanks for letting me know!

That's a good point lol

They still can later, just swap twice. Although Yagoo might still be a geodude at the same level.

you can capture Steelix on outside like Pekora

@@lim3020 Evolving them is more satisfying though

They could always trade back, but I think she's going to get too attached to Kuuritsukuto

Paul from Sinnoh hehe

Power M?

Exact same thoughts.

Oh extremely. Part of why I never really cared for competitive pokemon. Even outside of sappy attachment to an in-game team, it also just makes me feel bad that I can’t use certain Pokémon I like because they’re not viable or can’t fit in well with a team

The bond stuff can be really good if RNGesus is with you though. Free extra crits, free sturdy, maybe a few other things I'm forgetting, though yeah, a competitive player would probably rather have that on top of a team they specifically breeded to have perfect ivs and all the other features they want. Even beyond that you can't ignore types and other aspects of the game as much as Ash does in the anime where Pikachu can defeat every pokemon including ground types with Thunderbolt unless the episode needs to focus on another Pokemon he'll probably release a while later. Even as a kid back during OG Blue I knew that much, even if I couldn't always remember the full type advantage chart and back then you couldn't just pull up Seribi or Bulbapedia. Gotta buy the strategy guide, just for that chart.

I don't think so. At least in the newer games. You can put a lot of extra work to train a pokemon you already have instead of boxing it : ultimate training, berries and vitamins, aromas, nature changers and so much more are a much harder way of getting a competitive pokemon, but it allows you to bring your old friends into battle instead of replacing them with a better breed. Training a pokemon this way is the ultimate proof of love. And if you like to breed pokemon instead, you will celebrate when you finally hatch that perfect 6 IV baby. It's not a strong pokemon, but it has so much potential, and you will bond with it over the course of its training. Training a pokemon this way feels like raising a child. Lastly, you can't train everything, so you have to get rid of a lot of pokemon, by releasing them into the wilderness or by donating them to a pokemon professor, so they can be studied, which will contribute to the betterment of relationships between humans and pokemon. Releasing shows how much you love pokemon.

Rhyhorn’s a three-stage Pokémon, it evolves into Rhydon by leveling up, and Rhyperior afterwards when Rhydon is traded holding the “Protector” item. Geodude evolves similarly into Graveler via leveling, then Golem through trading (it doesn’t need an item though).

They can always trade them back at that point.
