snivy enjoyers you know whatsup

when I was a kid imagining who my pokemon sidekick would be it was and still is sandshrew #hereallyquietforrealunlessheknowyouhefunnyashellifheknowyoutypeshit

someone tell Nick to checkout r/conservativerap

Young Nick looks like the guy from Stuff Made Here on youtube. IDK if im crazy or what lol

My favorite Pokemon is Cofagrigus

Hydreigon will always been my ride or die mon

Totodile man he's the homie

lugia has been my fav forever

Hate the "pokemon are lazy now" argument. Maybe a quarter of gen 1 was just animals with their name spelled different. I love the games, but they've just always been kinda lazy. I think basing some of them of things you already know is probably a strategic move to make them instantly relatable, so the less realistic ones aren't so off-putting.

They talked about Chandelure(?) and yet got got by the preevolution Litwick.

im ok if this is just the yard now

I don’t mind Nick and Slime duo tbh. They get into more stories than on the normal ep

totodile!

i can’t believe they didn’t mention nf or tom mcdonald as maga white rappers, it’s literally those 2 and eminem.

quilava

Dude, I think Nick is “peaked in high school guy “who didn’t actually peak in high school

36:48 bro just voiced exactly what i was thinking damn. (Source: am recently very happy myself, to have finally found a place to buy cheap basic blank white/black shirts, sweatpants etc. to make everyday wear simple)

My favorite Pokémon is Hitmonlee

Eiscue

I do love Totidile his card is on my dming set up, but I loved GeoDude as a kid

Ampharos/Clefable

Lapras my beloved

Slowbro is the GOAT

The "closeted racist" guy is real and one of my bandmates is this exact guy. He's not a huge rap fun but any rapper he enjoys is white, he only enjoys pop culture events through the lens of the white experience, and he's said several times that he can't watch any porn with black people in it(on either end I suppose). You guys really nailed the description.

Cyndaquil

Charmander

Corviknight, my G

Gotta tap into grian and hermitcraft. The goal is only to create

Gyrados or Ninetales

Giratina

mimikyu

Pelipper

Sableye

Jolteon :3

why is young nick the spitting image of sid from skins???

Growlithe

Beedrill : )

solosis goes hard, bros just an orb

Bulbasaur

Infernape

Bulbasaur

Fav pokemon is probably Espeon. Back when I was playing Crystal and didn't know how the game worked, I kept getting shit on by the elite 4 when I was rocking a level 50 Feraligatr and a bunch of randos I caught but didn't raise. My cousin told me Espeon was a good pick but I would have to go to the haircut brothers and the NPC in goldenrod to check the affinity. I babied my Eevee like it was a real pet and raised it up.

Aerodactyl

i love yall but youre too old to still be doing the "Mainstream thing sucks but i like it ironically" thing. went real heavy on it this episode

Sceptile/ more specifically mega sceptile

registeel

Flygon

Bulbasaur

Slowpoke

Jirachi

Sylveon

zipper is a true man of culture, farfetch’d is the best pokémon

i like raichu so i based my whole online persona about itthats cool

mankey. i have 350 of them in GO labeled “mass release” in spirit of planet of the apes

Favorite pokemon? Slowpoke. He is coming on the desert island with me, you can eat their tails and they regrow! He is so dopey so he won't feel any pain and only love 🙂❤️

Treeko

Favorite pokemon is espurr or female meowstic

I think the white rapper guy anecdotally is unfortunately the guy who is very lyrical miracle and ends up being like "bro my favorite rappers are 1. Eminem, gotta put him on there, 2. Watsky, and 3. Aesop rock...they're just kind of cerebral, you know?" way more niche but there is also a genre of guy who watches battle rap and hates gun bars unless they are said by white rappers (it's always Fresco with those guys). maybe some mike p sprinkled in. I don't know if these are the same guys, I would say probably not. they also love rone i forgot to mention him. if they're all of the above and ALSO diehard charron fans you need to watch out because they are actual white supremacists

lmfaoo “yu in the wrong hood” yung nick in the building

Buizel is my goat

Oh, I thought that 'Hanimon' thing was a Gyroid from AC lol

Gotta have them Ribombees. and Porygon-2

Anyone remember Pokemon Rusty?

I love nick and slime only ep🤝🤝👍

grookey and toxtricity

Flygon is my favorite

I actually quite like a Nick and Slime ep

Basic desert island is Empoleon slightly more deep cut is Metagross

Torterra is my fav, my first game was pearl and I thought he was so cool

All time desert island pokemon is Castform

Machop!

Lapras bc I think I’d get over my motion sickness at sea hopefully

I’m a basic bitch and like pikachu

oshawott

The maga voters listen to country rap

Jirachi

I am a big bisharp fan

Gotta be Sceptile, too badass. Totodile as honorable mention

Maga people like one black rapper, and its dax. But other than that its Tom Macdonald, Eminem, among others.

Weavile

MAGA guy’s favorite rapper is kid rock

This was such a 30 yr old man episode

Flaafy

Wooper

Hawlucha

haxorus

am I racist for not jerking it to black dick? if so, please send help and guides on how to fix self

sprigatito :] his evolutions are ok but sprigatito is the best one to me

Scizor and Spinda

coming to you as your local pokemon autist: my favorite is koraidon, he is a giant prehistoric dog lizard that eats sandwiches and you ride him like a flintstones car

Why does Hank gotta be buttass slime? Everyone is always buttass

Ludicolo

dude change clothes by jaÿ z and pharrell is SOOOO fire i love that fucking song

All time best pokemon has got to be Golurk. Like he’s not good but he’s such a cool guy

Blaziken

my favourite pokemon is quagsire and i have never related to anyone on that. where my quagsire fans

all time favorite pokemon is alolan vulpix. i fuckin love arctic foxes

59:33 its gen 1 its all mish

zip usin palworld for the pokemon quiz is cheaaaap

45:59 as a pretty big pokemon fan, there is Lots of them. so many that theres a name for it. Fakemon

disagree on the shirtsthatgohard bit. may be a bit of projection on my end, but i am very socially incompetent and i wouldnt be caught Dead in one of those shirts. because theyre never funny, and i know people would judge me for wearing them. theyre for people who are Overly confident, but not funny.

Crazy nick lore in this ep

Nick saying papa roach is the worst band ever is my personal 9/11, wth man

Piplup for sure

Tom mc Donald is magas rapper

this made me realise that nick and slime are the pod

Gun to my head, Empoleon.

All time pichu

Arcanine gang all day!

chandelure mentioned

Slowbro became my favorite after I read the Pokédex entry saying he is incapable of feeling pain.

Love a bulbasaur. Just wanna go day to day with him hanging out. It would also make work significantly cooler

Slime mentioning the candelabra and stumbling on its base form was funny to see

I like throh for nostalgia since when i was a kid i played gen 5 and thought he was really strong and kept killing all my pokemon

Cyndaquil and RIP the pokewalker that was taken from many of us by the washing machine

Pinsir is my goat

also frogadier

they suck at pokemon 5/5 get pwned

Marill

Gastly! and mega sceptile. It's a mix of nostalgia and design aesthetic.

Rufflet. Followed by Litwick. Did not play the game they debuted in as a kid

If we still have this after the heat death i'm happy

Chingling or staryu!!

My favourite pokemon is Mimikyu!

i also really love porygon, porygon 2 is fucking stupid and i hate it, but porygon z is awesome as well

Salamence 100%

15:10 Jin Halburd 4th wall break during the Slime uno reverse would hit on a compilation

Favorite pokemon is Golurk

Cobalion

Chimchar!

Metapod my favorite

Oshawott is my goat

Totodile all the way. runner ups psyduck & slowpoke & meowth

i like grookey or forretress :]

Metagross my goat

The topic of shirts portraying personality, projected humour, and social media understanding, is exemplified in the Girls Night shirt and those desires definitely contribute to my wish to own that shirt along with how funny I think the shirt is and my want to support the show financially in exchange for some merch

Psyduck clears no diff

shroomish the goat fr

In order: Golem, Ursaring, Shedinja, Lugia, Kabutops, Escavalier

my favorite was Blastoise. I named my first one BASTARD

piplup da goat

Always been a fan of Oddish

I can never choose a favorite between scyther or lycanroc, but since lycanroc is a dog and scyther is a pointy bug with giant blades the dog might be the safer option to bring to an island

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow also made me cry some manly tears. Fantastic book

any Totodile heads?

all time fav is Sableye, my gf made me a bleached jacket with sableye and scyther on the back

Ah yes the all bit premium episode

Nick was a Wigger. Pretty fly for a white guy

Breloom is just such a chiller

I like dragonite, I like when he’s wearing the bag especially

my favorite is also squirtle. i still have my squirtle plushie/pillow from like 1998

metagross is my goat

you know how I got these "scars"

Sneasel is the goat!

Tepig is the shit, Emboar was the coolest gen 5 starter evolution

dunsparce! I have no idea why

croagunk is my fave, when i was a kid i always loved when he punched brock

Lotad is just the chillest guy

Spheal my goat

charizard I'm afraid, because hes a dragon, I love dragons

My actual favorite is no joke Chandelure

I always thought Litten was lit

The Yard talking about Pokemon is the equivalent of TierZoo talking about Melee.

Eevee :3

my favorite pokemon is froakie

croagunk

my all time favorite pokemon is oddish

Aggron!

Raichu

Mine is Dusclops

Metagross is my favorite pokemon

i could have never imagined hawthorn heights being mentioned on the yard but here we are ig

Houndoom

Has nick seen shiny articuno? I just looked it up and it’s one of the most disappointing shinies ive ever seen

Sceptile is the goat for real

Nick really fucked w school huh

mimikyu :)

Garchomp

Ampharos

Gengar

venonat

If I had to pick one it would be between Charmander or Incineroar and ultimately I think I'll pick Incine because my love of wrestling now outweighs my childhood nostalgia

Just really funny slime gives the classic “there’s an ice cream Pokemon” line like pokemon wasn’t always doing that even with gen one lol

Lemme get uh sceptile, cool bloke

I’ve always liked Haunter because his hands weren’t attached and I thought that was cool

Bro Pawg Skylar is something I thought I’d never hear

gotta be psyduck

episode 500 and Nick is still talking about highschool

dewott

Meganium because it's so sweet

Dracovish gotta be my favorite, love that big stupid fish

So funny that slime talks about chandelure and doesn’t think litwick is real right after. Piplup and Darkrai are my favourites.

Reshiram

Snivy

Sunflora

Nicks right there are definitely "rap" fans that only love what post malone, Jack Harlow. And Eminem put out. We (black, rap fans) have been clowning on these people forever

My all time favorite Pokemon is pawmot, they’re just a little guy, they just run around and pouch shit, head empty no thoughts only hands

i love power hour episodes

Very silly I listened to Scars for the first time as a 25 yo man like 3 days ago because I heard it in an “accurate Leon Kennedy playlist”. Crazy how both re4 and papa roach were mentioned in this ep. Edit: Aggron is dope as hell

Gibble is just a dope and he turns into Garchomp which is metal af

Alakazam my all time goat. Got lucky with a random shiny abra after route 5 after nugget bridge in Leaf Green as a kid and traded that thing up through to black 2, he was my baby.

Sudowoodo was my all time fav

Torterra was always my favourite, growing up I would imagine having one and sleeping under the tree on his shell while he walked around

Tyranitar

this is one of my fav patreon episodes! clefairy is my fav

ralts 🥇

the yard but only slime and nick would still be great and alex should be the only guest to ever get to come on occasionally

Swinub is my goat

You guys could totally just keep it going if everyone left. Good ep!

MAGA rap fans ain’t listening to black rappers they’re listening to tom McDonald NF and Eminem

Zipper genuinely killed it with these Pokemon matchups man

A genuine let's play beats out a lot of content, poker rules. A genuine let's play of a game with this much of a storied community and layered heritage will of course garner massive gushing and gooning over the lolcow's rich plot.

Ditto

sliggoo ;)

Totodile. Was my first guy I love my bitey guy

Mankey Best pokemon ever

Slime and Nick hypothesizing about why young people listen to old music is the oldest they’ve ever sounded. I don’t think a lot of us do it to virtue signal, it’s what our parents listened to so they played it and honestly I tend to enjoy it a lot more than current music. That isn’t me virtue signaling I just love 80s pop and classic rock a lot, it’s what I like, not doing it for other people.

I’m a pretty basic man. Growing up it was Charizard no competition and now it’s probably Darkrai.

I liked tepig, remember sweeping pokemon black with him as a kid

Nick getting a kiss on the lips from a girl and saying there were no sign she liked him is so fucking funny.

Cyndaquil

zipper on my wave with farfetch’d hes so fucking cool and that leek he’s holding is swag

the MAGA rapper’s top black artist is Kanye not Tupac.

Scraggy is by far the best pokemon

i love murkrow with all my heart

I wanna say Infernape might be my GOAT. My favorite thing about playing the games whether it's a playthrough or online, is that I ALWAYS get new favorites. Playing Legends ZA ranked made Glaceon a new fave because of how much it counters a lot of the most used mons.

Will always be snorlax

Okay this one is peak ill see you at episode 500 Shuckle

Mismagius gang rise up

Poliwhirl: I love the water, frogs are cool, blue is my favorite color, hypnosis spiral ties in well with my psychology background. At my job when we got to 151 employees we filled out a company pokedex based on the position you were hired. Ironically enough I was the 61st hire (Poliwhirl) lol

Obstagoon is my current favourite mon but before gen 8 existed it was staraptor

i started shiny hunting recently because i found my old 3ds and i realized that it’s no different than the runescape schizo that cannot play a game or watch any media without also playing runescape on the side monitor caught a shiny celebi tho 😀

gengar the most money pokemon of all time gengar gang RISE UP

I always liked reuinclus when I was a kid because he was jelly and I really liked translucent things

Totodile for all time

Mudkip.

Chandelure is the goat, catch this overheat bitch

larvitar. as a kid kabutops

bastiodon, what a guy

#1 day one pokemon is tepig but something about unown speaks to me

I also loved Diglet when I was a kid, back when I played Blue for the gameboy I filled an entire box of the PC with all Diglets plus one Dugtrio. These days I have no particular interest for him though

Been a pokemon fan all my life (21 rn), my fav is Ogerpon (she's very new). Before her was a tie between Rayquaza and Sylveon.

I love Absol

Gengar cus hes just a silly misunderstood prankster guy

Scyther lowkey the goat

my favorite pokemon, all time, absolutely, is lotad i fucking love that guy. also i love when the guys talk about pokemon and shit. i soy and point at the screen. slime lets get wolfe glicke on here, i wanna see him in a non family friendly enviornment and what he does.

Big fan of Rillaboom

Here is my top 5 pokemon alltime ( No particular order ) 1. Celesteela ( just straight up cool ) 2. Armorouge ( shoulder armor goat ) 3. Mudkip ( love this little guy ) 4. Vikavolt / charjabug( he cute ) 5. Yveltal ( he looks cool as fuck )

Corphish is my fav pokemon

All time favorite pokemon, Heracross. I was on the train before Bois

36yr old here - Gengar, them ghosts were dope back then

Metagross and Blaziken are my goats (gen 3 stan)

The first thing my Husband and I watched while freshly dating was Breaking Bad and I was so annoyed every time it was a Skylar moment...... Cuz she was right!!! Walt was doing some crazy shit. Her reaction to it wasn't wild. She literally helped him LAUNDER HIS MONEY!!! There were so many many moments that would have been prevented if he had just listened to Skyler!!! And I know that him making those dangerous, risky, and even straight up bad decisions is what adds to the drama and intensity of the show, but when people talk so negatively about Skylar it annoys me becuase Walt is so clearly as Morally gray and flawed which is what makes him so cool and believable but I cant friggin stand ppl acting like Skylar wasn't justified in her concerns in most of the fights they had

That poor girl.. she had such a big crush on u nick lmaoo

breloom or flygon

My fav pokemon is latios cause he has a neat design and he sacrificed himself in the 4th movie in order to save his fam

45:24 hell yeah 😎

Clefairy!!

I’m bummed nobody attempted a Mike Ehrmantrout voice

lucario is my fav, idc if it makes me a furry hes awesome

trapinch

Kyogre is my GOAT Pokémon

Espeon, shiny espeon in particular

Slowpoke for sure. Little guy just loves sleeping

Darkrai and Arcanine are my GOATS

ORB!!!

gun to my head all time, is Ralts for me

gun to my head ampharos

I have a friend who in highschool and some time after highschool, he loved rap. But if you asked to see his playlist or who he liked, it was all white rappers lmao MGK, Mac miller, modsun, nf, action bronson, yelawolf, logic, and eminmen being his favorite. Guy who only likes white rappers is 10000000% a thing

When I was 11 I was that guy

my friends and I talked to a "white guy that only likes white rappers" this past weekend, they definitely exist 😭 and it's crazy because like he's a gay white guy who has (liberal appearing) social politics but is also just transphobic, misogynistic, ableist, etc. Classic type of white cis gay dude tbh lol and they don't even realize they're racist so they say it with their whole chest 😭 and they have a really good "sassy Black girl impersonation" and see no problem with doing that as a joke it's so... 😭😭

nick has such a good jesse voice 😭😭😭

Should shiny hunt on pokemmo, more rewarding

Asking melee players what music is good, is like asking a blind person whats a good movie recommendation.

Girafarig so underrated

Fav Pokémon all time: Mew

All time is Cubone, funnily enough the only gen 1 pokemon on my top 20 list.

Gun to my head Snivy is my ride or die, but I also fuck with Starly or Leafeon. Lapras is goated too

Zangoose is my favorite

rest in peace to the power hour 😔

Listening to any other song by papa roach is genuinely grueling, including the live versions of last resort. It's crazy

salamence or tyranitar are my favs fs

14:50 is beautiful and it's devastating that it's locked behind Patreon

infernape best mon, also yall should look up hoopa unbound

tommyinnit is not a big minecraft streamer or streamer at all these days. biggest competitive speed runner is probably feinberg in terms of numbers rn.

Cubone always been my favorite

Damn nick used to be so cool what happened

Favorite pokemon is probably Excadrill. I also like Blaziken and Umbreon.

also a big porygon fan, porygon-z is one of my favs

Victini is my favorite Pokemon

wooper for me

best pokemon ever is mimikyu hands down, snorlax and sylveon are close. also slime if you like wooper and quagsire check out paldean wooper and clodsire

Gun to my head altaria is the best out there and definitely clears that dosghit mockery that is articuno

Turtwig has unfathomable motion

The title now makes sense that I can see who’s here

the way nick looks at rap is the same way I look at my rocket league gameplay, it's either good gameplay or funny gameplay edit: i'm also squirtle gang, but came to love suicune and the other legendary dogs of gen 2. i played pokemon crystal on my gba until the cartridge battery died!

Been a pokemon fan since I was a kid, so my favorite has changed a lot over time. That being said, right now my favorite pokemon is Kingdra. When I was younger my favorite pokemon was Miltank because Whitney's gym battle fucked me up.

Raichu

Snorlax been that guy 🗣️🗣️

Garchomp 🫡

Mareep for sure, im not a huge fan of it losing its fluff as it evolves but mareep as is was always so cute to me

All time fave? Spiritomb- he’s made of 108 evil souls locked into a stone. And he’s got one fucked up eye, so I always name mine fetty wap LMAO

Totodile I’m a sucker for water starters

Nick doing a Minecraft let’s play would be legendary

Funniest first minute to any pod episode

sylveon

scyther my favorite

Soodowoodo is my all time fav and it’s not even close

double the sub prices, kick the other two out. i could live like this.

Ngl I'd still be there if this is ep 500 Also, fakemon are definitely a real thing

Psyduck supremacy

Scrafty love that little shit

Easy sandshrew and sandslash

Garchomp is def my favorite :)

MAGA guys liking Eminem (openly left leaning) because he’s white and anti cancel culture is 100% real

There was a white rapper named prophet g in some of my classes and his favorite rappers were Eminem, Mac Miller, yung gravy, and then he genuinely said “and I like rappers who are like ironic and funny like lil dicky”

vulpix and ninetales my goats

Kabutops

Mimikyu is my favorite even though I was not a huge fan of gen 8. For gen 1 it's hard not to love Nidoking, my personal favorite shiny too

Breloom is bro forever

my favorite Pokemon is honestly this guy named minior! he's like this small meteor Pokemon who wears a shell, and when the shell breaks he pops out with a fun color!

Crobat goated

making a major assumption here but the random kiss with no admission screams of the autistic rizz i would give out during my teens. I think she liked you nick

pancham :)

Mine is shellos cause I liked that the gender changed the color and I had a really cute stuffed animal as a kid

Klink is my favourite

No one fucks with Crustle like I do

Metagross

Jolteon is my favorite. To fill out a 5 stack I would say Psyduck because he was always perturbed with a headache and said "psy-ai-yai". Scyther badass, Pikachu because come on, Wobbuffet because he said his name funny, has a cute face and works for Team Rocket. Finally, Piplup

Slime knowing klefki but not thunderus and then talking about chandelure but not recognising litwick is inconceivable to me. Anyway Ogerpon is the GOAT

tangela

Piplup :)

Torterra is my goat. Island turtle

Sudowoodo

turtwig's my goat

Sableye, he is just a lil boi

Wow, took me until minute 45 and you guys talking about it to realize Aiden wasn’t on the Patreon episode this week.

I like the kaiju-esque designs so my favorite is Tyranitar, but Gen 1 is Nidoking

all time goat for me gotta be mareanie

bidoof

Suicune bro

gallade is kind of just a dude but hes like a real cool dude that always hits on your girl but you just cant be mad at him for it

gengar is just the coolest

Scizor gang. The gen 4 tv show made them look so cool I have been hooked ever since

Sigilyph from gen 5

My top five Pokemon are Psyduck, Squirtle, Terapagos, Mimikyu, Chi-Yu

carbink

I am literally right now playing Elden Ring for the first time on Twitch - it's the first video game I've ever played, and also the first thing I've ever streamed. 99% of my viewers come into my chat and are like "omg this is your first time playing? I wish I could experience it for the first time again" and then they stick around to backseat me for a while lol. It's kind of sweet! They just fucking love Elden Ring!

Golisopod my beloved

Aggron does it like no else

Crazy Slime brought up Chandelure but didn’t realize that Litwick evolves into Chadelure LOL

I was shiny hunting articuno in fire red as nick mentioned that he had been too

Azumarill my goat

Ditto and the reason why is cause he's purple and has a dumb cute face

mudkip. also would encourage nick to give any of the 2nd gen games another go

oshawott my goat

Hitmonchan

Me, on my way to buy an Ironmouse shirt at Hot Topic. Great game, Zipper! That's like five times the research a BuzzFeed article would do for this. You never disappoint. I just watched Molly Burke interview Ross Minor and talk about not liking science fiction because of aphantasia/no visual memory and how reading or listening isn't enough to create a world so far from reality for her, so she dislikes it. Great interview, I found it very interesting how many cool video game (and Netflix) franchises he got and gets to work on and how he still has to live off social security and food stamps in LA. Anyway, more light-hearted recent media talking about videogames I watched: An episode of Disney+ original show High Potential where they solve an esports related murder in which the initially shifty guy from the esports company turns out to be a hero who gets the pros into gamers anonymous and saves them from the evil video game and everyone they met through them (you can't be around users getting sober) and the creepy father who made his son dress up as his never born twin he liked better than him did the right thing by hiring someone to bully his son out of the game for his mental health, but he was unfortunately too far gone and killed that guy to protect his spot in the game. In the end, the ex-girlfriend the victim left to stay off the game organises a funeral in the game and the protagonist's son plays the game casually, so it seems they were too afraid to commit to that hard "video games are drugs, even if they are your job"-stance, but like, this came out in 2026. Very hilarious watch, and I don't know anything about video games or esports that I didn't pick up in passing or from this very podcast.

Also shoutout to my homie Pikachu Libre, I wanna get that bad bitch as a tattoo.

My favourite pokemon though are Blaziken, Lucario, Gardevoir, and Vaporeon, all of which lead people to think that I'm a gooner. I am a gooner but the pokemon I like has absolutely nothing to do with that.

My first pokemon game as a kid was Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue team and the personality quiz at the start of the game assigned me Cyndaquil. People sometimes assume I chose the name Cynthia after I transitioned because of Cynthia from diamond/pearl/platinum, but I actually chose it because of Cyndaquil.

haxorus (shiny)

I’m a big Weedle guy

Does anyone have the name of that Smash book mentioned around 49:00? I tried looking it up but I think I’m not hearing the player’s tag right I can’t find it.

Cubone goat conversation

my favourite is Reshiram

Rapidash. Just a cool fire horse.

hitmonlee because i went with my mom to the 99 cent store and they sold pokémon episodes on vcr and i got that episode of the anime.

All time favorite pokemon is easily my boy totodile I love that little fucker so much

Exploud is best Boi and big man

I like Ditto.

My favorite has to be Mimikyu its just so cute

My favorite pokémon is Breelom. Love fungi and I like how it’s like a boxer.

Chandelure, drifloon, breloom, mimikyu

my favorite is mudkip

Its funny you were talking about chandelure and litwick popped up lol love both of them and lampet

Nick’s brother sounds so fucking sick.

My favorite pokemon is Sewaddle, he is a cute lil guy and I love him. Also Nick was right, there is a ton of michael the hedgehog but for pokemon. Zip didn't have to pull from other games though that worked too.

Raichu is my goat! Also I'ma need that orb

Im just gonna be shot ive been terribly afflicted by not being able to decide a favorite pokemon

We need to be honest with ourselves, 30 Seconds to Mars is the worst band of all time

Joltik my goat

Damn Nick's favourite Pokemon are all such mothers, Lapras is queen supreme

Zoroark, boffum

Heet Mob wrote a song about my goat Aggron

My fav is espeon, I love cats and it’s so pretty and cute 💜

the first four minutes, i am not even kidding, funniest i've ever seen from the yard with literally half the cast

I’m surprised Nick was a second hand serenade head

Scizors my ride or die

so awesome you were talking about chandelure then its first evolution comes up and you just didnt know. that is priceless cinema

any Emolga fans

Spheal gives everything my heart desires

my favorite as a kid was Lairon

My favorite is Meloetta

I refuse to lie to be more interesting, my kid self loved Pikachu to a degree it was a nickname used to pick on me in the 4th grade, I know Pikachu is the main guy, but I also think it wasn't fair how much personality they gave him in the tv show, bro loved ketchup and so did I. I am forever soul bonded to Pikachu.

Rampardos

Axew the goat He just a lil guy

Grafaiai, the one shroodle evolves into. If you google Grafaiai tattoo I’m one of the top results

Heracross rules bro beetles are sick

maga rapper guy is just atrioc

My favorite as a kid was Chikorita, probably because I had a surgery as a kid and my grandparents got me Crystal to play while I recovered and it was my starter through that.

slime you’re crazy for thinking everyone picks charmander or bulbasaur, it was always squirtle vs charmander, bulbasaur was the odd one out. All the respect to you though, squirtle is goated, my favorite is torchic though.

There was this astrophysisist guy who played minecraft for the first time on stream AboutOliver, and a viewer made a supercut of his streams and they BLEW UP and honestly it was some of the best minecraft content I had watched in a while. the Slime streams / vid captured that pretty similarly just in a different way. I also have been seeing some videos blow up from people playing ULTRAKILL for the first time since a big update came out it definitely seems like a bit of a content meta

100% maga rapper guy was into the Insane Clown Posse

Woke Toronto shooter asking what your cro-nouns are

The reason watching Nick play Elden Ring is interesting is way more about how good Elden Ring is than anything else. I already know I find Nick entertaining, and I want people I like to like the things I like, so it’s like chocolate and peanut butter, just two good things put together.

Scraggy goes hard such a fucked up character

Archen is the goat.

Sylveon or Jirachi

Grovyle was my dawg back on pokemon crater if anyone remembers that

Mismagius is my all timer

If The Yard eventually becomes just you two and it’s on episode 500 I’d definitely keep watching. There’s this small YouTube channel called FTCR that only posts every once in a while because they’ve plateaued and most of the people who were originally part of it have moved on. I love when they upload though because I like their dynamic and it’s nice that they still care the way I still care.

Yall should play deadlock

Trubbish is my favorite, he just a cute dude that runs funny and he’s also garbage that’s so weird and quirky

People who know Minecraft watching slime play Minecraft is Dora the explorer for adults

Slime starting the story about his female friend by describing her as beautiful is so in character

Deadass is quagsire

I was a wrestling fan as a kid also so incineroar was my shit

nicks jesse sounds more like bob from bobs burgers

10/10 my fav power hour

All time is Rayquaza. First Pokemon was emerald on gameboy and it was cinema for me.

i fw ninetales and jesmon is my fav digimon if anyone even gaf

Haxorus my goat

My dad did magic for a living when I was a kid so Abra was always my favorite Pokemon.

Corsola.

Scyther

I like how slime is approaching minecraft hes fully exploring the game even after the enderdragon i think lud jumped into speed running too fast, but thats just my fat chud opinion

I’ve always liked misdrevious and mismagius. But Aipom my all time favorite

Scizor until the day i die

I think the best Pokémon to me in cool factor as an adult is Garchomp, and the nostalgia charm is Serperior. Gen 5 is beast mode man…

LIL B filmed a video at my childhood skatepark, shout-out Heather Farms park

i'm also a squirtle head :3

Gliscor is just a cool fucking bat

Breloom, cool ass mushroom kangaroo from gen 3. hopefully Gen 10 is more than decent so we can get an excuse for some of the yard to play and react to the now over 1000 little guys

I’d walk through hell for my Monferno

talking about the maga rappers, Tom macdonald is a diehard maga fuck you woke cuck libs type guy and he made a song with ben shapiro as a feature

Ludicolo. Also please stream a random newer pokemon game. It would be the same level of react content as Minecraft.

I have 2 that I basically consider a tie but gun to my head I gotta go with my boy Raichu. I think in my kid brain I went "Pikachu is like the most iconic mascot, so his evolved form is even better than that!" and even though that doesn't really bear out I still love his design and vibes. shoutout to Cyndaquil though, my favorite starter for sure

Can’t believe my mortal ears withstood hearing zipper even for just a second

Ampharos all the way

My favorite is luxio

I was a big Flygon kid because his red eye shields were kind of like he had goggles but he was still cool looking and I related to that because I wore rec-specs in baseball and basketball.

If this is the future of the pod, I think I love it

All time fave? Quilava

"Now its makin me a lil gay too..."

Nick saying Papa Roach is the worst band is his most L take

Goat yard episode

I think it's between Rhyhorn and Sawsbuck. Love those ungulates

Digimon mentioned. I’m so in

Nick not knowing litwick but remembering he called Ludwig that is the special kind of synapse firing that’ll bring us to ep 500

All time fav, Spoink. I wish the name was different though.

I love to ask people if they were a civilian in the pokémon universe, what pokémon would be their one partner for life. Mine would be Duskull for sure

The yard ep350 onward is looking promising, patreon gonna have to keep my money ✌️😂

I would love for Either slime or nick or BOTH. To do some form of pokemon run. Like a soul link would be hilarious, especially with how different the games got after gen 4.

Nick looks like if all main 3 guys from superbad made a lesbian baby

I fuck with it

The shit nick was wearing at 15 will be back in like 4 years calling it rn

yep nothing missing here looks right to me!

wahoo!
