Supernova'sdreadfulluck. To put into perspective, Fire Blast and Meteor Mash have an Accuracy rating of 85%. Across all of its attack attempts on screen up until around Episode 62, only 45% of them hit.
Chugga making mistakes in what he says during the recording, more often than not putting an annotation onscreen to correct himself. You can tell he doesn't like that he made the mistake, because the annotation pops up with Mario's "D'OH!" sound effect from Super Mario 64. Said voice clip has been used in his LP's to indicate mistakes ever since.
Chugga making fun of Heal Ballsnote However, his opinion of them seems to have somewhat softened between this and his Black and WhiteLet's Play, where he calls them useful early-game but quickly become outclassed. Here, he dismisses them as useless from the beginning.
Taking a single step after a Repel wears off... and encountering a wild Pokémon.
Jubilife TV's weird obsession with Bradley AKA Yoshiller.
Remarking on the NPC preventing him from leaving town. He says the same thing every time he talks to you, and Chugga portrays him as speaking in a voice of forced calm after ignoring him once and attempting to leave again.
Barry failing to attack Chuggaaconroy's Turtwig for the entirety of the first rival battle, instead using Leer over and over. Artificial Stupidity indeed.
Mentioning Barry's trainer animation as doing the Mexican hat dance without the hat.
Him not realizing that Bidoof used Tackle on his Turtwig and his subsequent confusion to why Turtwig doesn't have full HP.
On-screen Text: (complete with "D'OH") THAT BIDOOF TACKLED ME TWICE. SERIOUSLY?! It's not THAT insignificant...
He thinks Dawn has a sock on her head.
"Someday, I will obtain that sock of hers."
Episode 2:
Him thinking Turtwig learns Absorb at Level 7 when it learns the move at Level 9.
Chugga: On the way there, Bodhi got to Level 7 which should mean... *Beat* Nothing!
Calling Bidoof "the almighty derp itself"
His disdain for Kricketot.
Chugga: What's the matter, Kricketot? Feeling like the obviously scrapped pre-evolution of Volbeat and Illumise that you are? OH!! *beat* I am so lame.
His assumption about Looker giving him a Vs. Recorder just so he could get rid of it.
Episode 3:
Calling out the Pokétch President on using the Pokétch to count to three.
Pokétch President: OK, let me count your Coupons! I'll use the Pokétch here... Chugga: Wait, you can't count to three without your Pokétch? I know people who overuse technology for things they could quite easily figure out on their own, but that's just sad! No wonder you invented this thing.
Mocking a man on the second floor of Jubilife Condominiums for explaining how Heal Balls work and then immediately explaining how they're useless if you have a full party.
Chugga: You're a wonderful salesman, telling me I should buy an item and then immediately telling me why it's so awful.
The fisherman who gives the player the Old Rod has... Accidental Innuendos in his dialogue, which Chugga draws attention to.note The fisherman is, of course, using the word "rod" to refer to a fishing rod, but "rod" can also be slang for a penis.
His shrill yell when explaining how Poké Mart mechanics in this game means he still has no access to Repels.
On his first attempt to catch a Zubat, he builds up how he feels it's time to use it in a playthrough... only for Bodhi to land a critical hit and defeat it right away.
Chugga has to cut ahead to the end of the battle because his Zubat ran out of PP for Leech Life and had to resort to using Supersonic and waiting until the Magikarp hit itself in confusion over and over again until it fainted.
Once again, Barry fails to land a hit on any of Chugga's catches using his Chimchar, just using Leer nonstop.
Barry: What just happened? I lost?!
Episode 4:
He recounts an embarrassing experience from an old playthrough where he once got a Game Over to a Kricketot due to barely falling short of Two-Hit KOing it while it was using Bide, and only having his starter Pokémon at the time.
Chugga: I stand by all those things I say about Kricketot but truth is, I did get a Game Over to one one time. I wanted to get that off my chest!
His small anecdote about how he stared at Bidoof's stat screen for a minute in disbelief at not catching a Bidoof that had Pickup, only to realize that Bidoof doesn't even get the Pickup ability.
His comments at the end on the matter:
"Also, I learned I need a new Bidoof...." On-screen Text: *Does not actually need a new Bidoof. ** Is just stupid. *** Like Bidoof.
While exploring one of the houses in Oreburgh, he finds a man who wants to see a Geodude. Since he doesn't remember meeting the man before, he decides to go out and find one. He then proceeds to have trouble actually FINDING a Geodude. The kicker comes when he finally catches a Geodude and shows it to the man. His reward for all that effort? A Heal Ball.note A Heal Ball is a kind of Poké Ball that restores the caught Pokémon to perfect health upon catching it. The thing is, that happens automatically if they're sent to the PC Storage System, so it's only useful if you have a free slot in your party, which is typically rare once you're past the early stages of the game. On top of that, it's 50% more expensive than a standard Poké Ball while having an identical catch rate to it. The only real redeeming quality it has is its appearance, which it seems to have taken from Gen IV Legendary Cresselia: pink with cream-colored crescent moons, which some fans may like to use on certain Pokémon.
Episode 5:
He almost says "hangovers" instead of "overhangs".
Chugga's story about how he worked in a movie theater when he was younger. He was playing Pokémon on his break when his boss noticed the 100+ hours Chugga had clocked. Chugga got told he had no life and was such a tool. He even had to assure the viewers that's actually what happened.
Chugga brings on Marriland to showcase the Union Room, showcasing the Trainer Cards and the messages on the back. Marriland's message? "Marriland was here, Chugga's a loser" then there's a little drawing of a Marill.
The two also battled with the teams they used to fight Roark. In turn one, both switched for their starters. They both cracked up when that happened.
Chuggaaconroy tries to use his Zubat to confuse Roark’s Cranidos, but it’s actually faster and the strategy fails.
Emile: This is probably the toughest Pokémon ever held by a first gym leader [Cranidos moves first] IN ANY POKÉMON— YOU’RE FASTER THAN MYZUBAT?!?! …well!
He’s nervous about using Bodhi against Cranidos, and uses Razor Leaf, leaving it with a tiny silver with HP. The noise he makes at this is indescribable but hilarious.
Emile: [strangled exclamation, then grits his teeth] WHAT?! NO! Don’t do this to me! Don’t do this to me! Don’t do this to— [Roark uses a Potion] …he did it.
And then, after putting Cranidos to the same silver of HP as before, he was feeling unfortunate that Bodhi will not be quick enough to defeat Cranidos. Guess what happens next? Quick Claw is activated, causing Emile to get surprised. At this point, all the emotional changes throughout the battle causes him to call himself out about it.
Episode 6:
His statement about how Looker now has to hit on him since Dawn isn't with him.
When his excitement decreases due to not being able to access the internet, he tries to lighten the mood saying that at least the Awesome Music is not tainted by the the unbelievable trades online.
Saying that the Team Galactic grunts were offended by Professor Rowan's disdain for their fashion is just hilarious.
Everything from the visit to the Jubilife TV station, but especially when he "dresses up" his Bidoof. It has to be seen to be believed.
Episode 8:
After he captures Drifloon and reads the Pokédex entry, he decides to read the Diamond and Pearl entries while the Pokédex music is still playing.
Chugga: The Platinum Pokédex entry is a pansy compared to the other Pokédex entries for Drifloon.With this really cheery, upbeat music in the background, I'd like to read some of those for you. "This is a balloon Pokémon. It is said that children grab onto it thinking it is just an ordinary balloon, get entangled in its legs that are string-like and it carries them off, never to be seen again." So this Pokémon is a kidnapper that disguises itself as a balloon basically, or coincidentally only looks like one. If that's not creepy enough, in the Japanese Pokédex entries, it does not merely kidnap children, but it takes them to what it calls "the land of the dead". No matter which way you look at it, at bare minimum, it's a child kidnapper, and at the worst it's a child murderer.
Episode 9:
He sneaks in a pun after listening to an NPC explain a story about the Gracidea flowers in Floraroma Town: "Well, expressing gratitude for nature...there's no Shaymin that!"
Emile almost switching to Bidoof instead of Zubat during a battle with a Hiker, right after he consoles Zubat for not getting experience from the Hiker's second Geodude.
During that same battle, when Emile sees that the Hiker's third Pokémon is a Geodude (just like the first two), he comments about the lack of diversity in the Hiker's team and says, "Next thing you know, he's going to be using Mud Sport despite having 3 Geodudes." note Mud Sport weakens the power of Electric-type moves while the Pokémon is on the field. Geodude is part Ground-type which is immune to Electric-type moves, thus making it useless to it in single-player battles. Guess what happens when Emile switches out Zubat for Bodhi?
Then he walks two spaces north of a hiker NPC and shows off how poor sprite aliasing makes it look like the hiker has a O_O face.
Chugga: Hey hiker, you got mustard on your shirt!
Emile gets trolled by Picnicker Siena, a Trainer who wanders around aimlessly like a regular NPC. He then rants about how Trainers have gotten more and more diabolical over the years, citing Gen I having Trainers from off-screen that would immediately spot the player the moment they scrolled them into view, Gen II having Trainers randomly change directions, Gen III introducing the Running Shoes that enabled Trainers to hear the player and immediately turn in their direction if they tried to run past them, and now Gen IV having Trainers pretending to be regular NPCs to trick the player.
Emile successfully evades Hiker Nicholas and Battle Girl Kelsey, and then makes a beeline for the nearby resting house to get spotted by Picnicker Karina, just as he was celebrating getting near the end of Southern Route 205. To add insult to injury, his Zubat is KO'd by her Piplup's Bubble, compliments of a critical hit.
Emile finds a Trainer Tips sign in Eterna Forest that talks about hidden items, and promptly announces his plans to walk around pressing "A" on every tile in the near vicinity off-camera. Back on-camera, he explains that he couldn't find any hidden items so he looked it up online, and found out that... there really are no hidden items anywhere near the Trainer Tips sign, much to his annoyance.
At the end of the episode, Emile mentions how the music to Eterna City can be easily compared to "what happens when you lose in Mario Kart".
Episode 11:
To match Eterna City's soundtrack, Chugga introduces the episode in a Southern accent.
Episode 12:
At the beginning of the episode he makes fun of the gate attendants for not letting bike-less people go through the Cycling Road exit.
Emile: [putting on an exaggerated snobby accent] Ew, the residents of Hearthome City are rich snobs and don't want to deal with vagabonds, so no poor people who can't afford a bicycle are allowed in! Eheheh!
Episode 13:
While digging in the Underground, Chugga finds an Icicle Plate (very rare and raises the power of Ice-type moves by 20%) and is going over how cool and rare it is and how lucky he was to find it; immediately after, he finds a Toxic Plate. Offscreen, he also found a Meadow Plate which, unlike the Icicle Plate, has the potential to be very powerful on his team.
This exchange:
Underground Man: We don't want any visitors getting hurt by walking in on you! Chugga: Hey, I don't look that bad naked!
Episode 15:
Chugga's surprised reaction to Supernova evolving so early is priceless.
Chugga changes to the slower gear on his Bicycle to avoid cycling into the sight of Trainers. Immediately after he says this, he tries waiting for a Youngster to bypass him... but the Youngster walks upwards and spots him.
Not too long after this, Chugga slips on the 3DS circle pad and cycles into the sight of a Battle Girl, much to his frustration.
Episode 18:
Chugga coming within an inch of catching the first male Ralts he encounters, only for it to Teleport away the last second, much to his shock. His second attempt doesn't fare any better, with Supernova missing Sing (55% chance to hit) three times in a row, with it fleeing as well with no damage taken whatsoever.
After finally catching a Ralts, Chugga cuts to finding a hidden item in Mt. Coronet, which leads to this:
Chugga: Oh! On the way back, I... (turns in direction of hidden item, which triggers a wild Bronzor encounter) (beat) ...found a Bronzor. That was so important, I felt the need to cut away to that to tell you that I did such a thing. No, I found that there was a hidden item right here.
Episode 19:
Chugga calls out a pair of Jubilife TV reporters within the Gate south of Hearthome City for standing in front of the entrance to Route 212, calling them the "most inconsiderate TV reporters of all time".
Chugga tries to complain about Amity Square...
Chugga: "So we can go for a stroll with a cute Pokémon - or so they claim. For instance, I can go for a stroll with my Grotle because that's a starter Pokémon and thus there's field sprites for it. I could also go with Pikachu or somebody like that, but can I go with my Clefairy? Nooooo, I cannot-" NPC text OK? Would you like to go for a stroll with your SUPERNOVA? Chugga "Wait wha-?! *beat* I CAN?!"
He also randomly decides to talk to Supernova before he cuts away and is surprised to see it's holding an item. It's a Black Moustache accessory.
Chugga: *cracks up* "Okay, glad to know you have a good sense of humor Supernova!"
Episode 20:
The first Trainer Chugga battles in the Hearthome Gym uses a Misdreavus. Chugga says "Misdreavus is best buds with me". Cue the Misdreavus in question surviving Acrobat's Bite before using Confuse Ray. Acrobat then proceeds to hit itself in confusion three times in a row and is felled by a Psybeam.
Chugga gives praise to Hearthome Gym's Platinum puzzle. The key word being Platinum; he proceeds to verbally tear apart the Diamond and Pearl "puzzle" note Multiple-choice mathematics questions with each choice corresponding to a different door, with the Gym Trainers behind the incorrect doors waiting to ambush you as the absolute worst Gym in the entire Pokémon series, ranting about how embarrassing it was for him to have to deliberately answer each question incorrectly in every way possible to battle the Gym Trainers. note Gym Trainers will not challenge you if the Gym Leader is defeated before they are battled.
Chugga cycles right into the sight of a Jogger. He then barely begins cycling back to the Hearthome Pokémon Center to heal before getting caught by a Breeder who had turned in his direction after the previous battle, though he uses this as an opportunity to discuss the new Pokémon that can be found on Route 209. After the fact, he cycles right into the sight of another Breeder. During this battle, his Kirlia grows to Level 25 and tries to learn Calm Mind. note +1 Special Attack and Special Defense simultaneously Chugga decides to replace Lucky Chant with Calm Mind because he can always use Teleport to warp back to the Pokémon Center. Cue his realisation that he could have used Teleport the whole time instead of manually cycling back and running into Trainers along the way, before quickly switching back to being upbeat about Kirlia learning Calm Mind.
Episode 22:
When Chugga reaches Solaceon Town, a Sidequest makes him go all the way back to Oreburgh Ruins to catch an Onix. When he finally does, he tries to use Kirlia's Teleport to go back to Solaceon Town... and failsnote Because he was still in the mines. He goes outside the mines to try again... and fails note Because he forgot you can only use it outside of a town . He goes back to the main route to try again... and succeeds... only to end up back in Oreburgh City because he healed at the Pokémon Center there. All he can do then is cycle back to Solaceon in shame.
Chugga watches the TV in Solaceon Town's Pokémon News Press and enjoys the presenter's Narmy recount of "the inestimable Kellz" (Kellie Whisler and Alex Faciane took part in a multiplayer double battle against Chugga in Episode 20) catching "none other than a mighty fine Kricketot" with "an expertly thrown Poké Ball". After the presenter tells its viewers to "Go out and emulate Kellz", Chugga jokingly says he will catch and raise a Kricketot in her memory someday.
Through simple bad luck, Acrobat is KO'd by a wild Unown of all things.
The Stinger: Emile meets a Poké Kid (a Trainer whose overworld sprite looks like a normal Pikachu) in a Pokémon Center note (you can sometimes find trainers in Centers to battle in this version) who says this:
Poké Kid: I need to find a way to get more into the character of a Pokémon...maybe I should get the Day Care to raise me? Chugga: (beat, then looks into the camera)
Episode 23:
Throughout the Lost Tower, Sinnoh's gravesite for dead Pokémon, Emile keeps unintentionally making cemetery-related puns and lampshading it each time.
Episode 24:
While running through the list of names he was considering giving to the Kirlia, Emile admits that one of the potential ideas was Sircumvent as a play on Gallade's knightly demeanor. The reason why he didn't go with it?
Chugga: One, it went over the character limit if I wanted a space in it, and two... um... if you divide that spelling into three words, it kinda means something naughty, and I would not be able to contain my immaturity during seeing that name.
Chugga reaches an above-ground ledge on Route 215 and recalls how during his first time playing Pokémon Diamond, he got stuck for a very long time trying to figure out how to get down to the other side... because he couldn't tell he could just walk down the other stairs to the north. He ends his recall by saying that to this day, he still wonders how he managed to fail so badly (it was probably because the northern stairs have poor sprite aliasing).
Chugga wins 10 bonus rounds on the slot machines and receives TM64 Explosion. The NPC giving him the TM tells him to try again next time for another "explosion of luck". Chugga then angrily tells the viewers that this is not the case by saying that on his first or a previous playthrough, he won the TM, gave it to a friend thinking he could get another one by winning 10 bonus rounds again and was sorely mistaken.
Episode 26
His attempt at singing Crasher Wake's lines as he exits the Veilstone Gym. It's actually one of his better singing attempts considering he's tone-deaf, but there's no indication as to what melody Crasher Wake is singing so he had to make it up on the spot... and it shows.
Chugga fights a Black Belt with a sole Heracross while Chugga has Acrobat in the lead:
Chugga: Hi, Heracross, meet Acrobat. (Uses Wing Attack) Go on, shake his hand. Oh wait, Acrobat doesn't have hands, he has wings. How unfortunate for you, Heracross, (The foe's Heracross' HP reaches 0) and now you are dead. Thank you for playing! Goodbye.
While fighting Maylene's Meditite, Chugga draws attention to the Meditite having Confusion, the only Special attack on her entire team, but then makes a blunder in his next statement:
Chugga: ...if you were expecting to see only Physical moves, it can catch you a little bit off guard if you're not surprised for it. (Stumbles over his words as he realises his mistake) No, not prepared for... (Corpsing) Not surprised for it, wow!
Chugga wonders if Drain Punch has a Real Life martial arts equivalent, and then tells a story of how he tried to learn martial arts as a kid. It was short-lived. He got punched in the face on the first day and went home crying.
Chugga: Uh... I don't remember Marriland being quite this sexy, but we'll go with it.
Chugga has another encounter with inconsiderate Jubilife TV reporters, this time blocking his way to Lake Valor.
Chugga: Inconsiderate news reporters, thy name is Jubilife TV! How have these people not gotten reported yet? This is the second time that we alone have had them blocking our way into a specific area.
One of the reporters in question brags about filming the Red Gyarados at Lake of Rage. Chugga promptly brings his ego crashing down by pointing out that the footage was never aired in Platinum, so he's a nobody.note Footage of the Red Gyarados appears on the TV at the beginning of Diamond and Pearl, as opposed to Professor Rowan's interview in Platinum.
Episode 28
When a female Ace Trainer describes her dream of a knight riding on a Pokémon whisking her off on a romantic honeymoon, Chugga says this:
Chugga: I'll go change into my suit of armor and ride in on my Bibarel.
Episode 29
When Emile attempts to get an item from the Great Marsh, his Safari Game runs out! ...Again!
To elaborate, Chugga is confident that he'll beat Crasher Wake's Gyarados due to Supernova knowing Thunderbolt and being roughly 5 levels higher than Gyarados. Cue Waterfall landing a lucky flinch and due to Chugga not switching, Supernova goes down. It only goes downhill from there; Gyarados proceeds to steamroll Acrobat and Psythe (his Gallade), and it takes a lucky Quick Claw to allow Bodhi to get a win against Gyarados. To really add insult to injury, Wake then sends in his strongest Pokémon, Floatzel, who OHKO's Bodhi with Ice Fang, a move that Bodhi is quad weak to due to his just-acquired Ground type, costing Chugga the match.
Chugga is incensed that the news reporters at Valor Lakefront are still blocking the path to the lake, but they allowed a Galactic Grunt carrying a dangerous explosive through. He then theorizes that the Galactic Grunt agreed to an interview to be allowed passage, and crosses into Fridge Horror by also theorizing that Team Galactic own the news and subsequently own Jubilife TV.
Supernova uses Metronome and calls in Conversion, turning her into an Electric-type. Cue Emile childishly giggling over having an Electric-type Clefairy.
Chugga learns how the "5-Maid Knockout Exact-Turn Attack Challenge" works and let's just say the words "exact turn" slipped his mind.
Episode 33
Chugga gushes over Wood Hammer's power, and begins to say its only drawback is -1 Speed... only to realise it deals recoil damage instead and that he was confusing the drawback with that of the similarly named Hammer Arm.
Upon triggering a Ninja Boy standing in the way of an item ball: "'We always appear when you least expect us!' when I announced your appearance!"
With a Golbat on its last hit point, Chugga decides to have a bit of fun and has Supernova finish it off with Metronome, which calls Aqua Tail—and promptly misses. Metronome proceeds to call Nasty Plot, Defend Order, Encore, and Tail Whip before finally getting Ice Beam. By this point Supernova is down to seven HP.
He recalls the very first article he read on Wikipedia was about Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and initially thought Wikipedia was a Pokémon fansite named after the Wiki Berry item.
On his bicycle, Chugga tries to check the signpost outside Celestic Town but accidentally cycles past it into the tall grass... and encounters a wild Pokémon.
Supernova leading again, against Cyrus' Sneasel. Supernova is 7 levels higher than her foe. Result: Ice Punch freeze, Ice Punch crit. Chugga cites Supernova as bad luck every time he leads with her.
Episode 35
Chugga returns to Twinleaf Town to pay a call to his character's mother, who requests he take a rest. Chugga starts protesting about how his Pokémon are already at full health with no status ailments, all to no avail.
While Surfing on Route 219, Chugga delivers a passionate rant about Game Freak nonsensically making the Surfing speed equivalent to the walking speed on land in Diamond and Pearl, when in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald—an earlier Pokémon game—it was equivalent to the running speed. He thought the change was so bad that it significantly detracted from his enthusiasm for the game whenever he reached a spot where he had to use Surf, especially if playing after a difficult day.
Chugga finds a Splash Plate in the middle of his rant, and interrupts his passionate monologue to nonchalantly draw attention to him finding it.
Chugga visits the Level Item House on Route 221note Its resident will ask for a Pokémon of a random level between 1 and 100. Talking to him with a Pokémon of that level in the party will reward the player with a Black Belt, Expert Belt, or Focus Sash in a rotational cycle. This is a daily event, but is none too happy about its resident asking for a Pokémon at level 94.
Chugga:Show me a Pokémon that is level 94 and you'll reward me!?You! Jerk!
While discussing the new encounters on Route 221, Chugga starts hyping up the availability of Gastrodon... only to bring the hype train to a grinding halt by saying it can only be caught on Route 221 in Diamond and Pearl.
Chugga revisits the basement of Oreburgh Gate to use Surf... only to realise he also needs Strength to obtain any new items there and without the ability to use Strength outside of battle yet, the only thing he can do there is battle a Trainer.
Chugga explores Ravaged Path and rants on Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum grouping multiple rocks together in the same area, that the player has to use Rock Smash to get through. He argues that if the developers want an area to be off-limits unless the player has Rock Smash, they should have one rock blocking the way and that would suffice, and that having multiple ones in the same area doesn't add any more challenge but only makes players have to walk up to a rock and press the "A" button more often, effectively having no purpose other than to waste their time.note This Scrappy Mechanic has existed since Rock Smash's debut in Gold and Silver, but by Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum had gotten a bit out of hand, making it a Franchise Original Sin.
Back on Southern Route 205, Chugga mentions he has restocked on Max Repels off-camera, and then jokes about how his sanity is relative to how many Repels he has before saying that's a pretty accurate statement for the typical Pokémon player.
Chugga obtains TM24 Thunderbolt from behind the Valley Windworks and wonders if any Pokémon on his team besides Supernova can learn it. He finds that Psythe can, and then sees his HM user Derpidius can too, causing him to crack up laughing at the thought of a buck-toothed beaver electrocuting things.
Episode 36
While exploring Fuego Ironworks, Chugga starts talking about how frustrating it is when a player steps on an incorrect spinning tile that takes them backwards. He gets interrupted by... stepping on an incorrect spinning tile that takes him all the way back to the entrance, much to his chagrin.
Chugga comes across a puzzle where he has to choose one of three spinning tiles, with only one of them leading forward and vague clues as to which one to choose. He manages to make the correct choice on the first try, but backtracks to try to obtain a Rock Incense. First, he steps on a spinning tile that takes him backwards, then after obtaining the item he forgets where to go and steps on wrong spinning tiles multiple times.
Chugga sympathises with Worker Conrad for having to work in a building fraught with spinning tiles. He tells him he can report Mr. Fuego while Chugga reports Jubilife TV. The funny moment comes when he talks to Fuego Ironworks' owner, and realises his name really is Mr. Fuego.
Chugga searching through the Floaroma Meadow for hidden items and yelling MAX REVIVE! while the footage is sped up.
Episode 37
Chugga tries to say that they spent time smelling the roses and listened to the piano in the theme for Canalave City, but ends up mixing up the phrases and says "sniffing the piano" instead.
Episode 38
Supernova using Roar of Time, Dialga's signature move, via Metronome. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome.
Chugga's theory on why there are two random Galactic Grunts that have no connection to the story causing trouble on Iron Island.
Chugga: I personally like to believe that Team Galactic was planning a large-scale attack on Iron Island, called the whole thing off, but there were two Grunts that just didn't get the memo and came here by themselves, and the rest is history.
Episode 39
Supernova's luck does not improve as its Fire Blast attack misses very frequently throughout the Canalave City Gym, much to Chugga's irritation.
Chugga brings Yoshiller along to cook poffins with in multiplayer, some good, with a Rich Poffin (a poorly made low-level Poffin, but not as bad a Foul) thrown in. They discuss the ridiculousness of how two guys are cooking in a single pot, as well as cooking one by stirring with reckless abandon, no regard for spills. Surprisingly, that Poffin turned out okay!
Yoshiller's Gliscor uses Swords Dance. Chugga sends in Acrobat to use Confuse Ray on it, declaring that "I don't like your big Attack stat!" Yoshiller acts concerned (replying "I don't like your Confuse Ray!"), only for Gliscor to immediately eat a Lum Berry and continue its sweep of Chugga's team, including managing to freeze Supernova.
Chugga: Last time, we made a bunch of Poffins! I have no idea what that has to do with anything in this episode, so instead, um... The time before that, we beat Byron at Canalave City Gym and earned ourselves the Mine Badge, along with the ability to use HM04 outside of battle.
Because Emile took so long before going into the library, he thinks that Barry lost his soul, due to the camera he saw him at! For much of the video, he has Barry speak in an exhausted tone of voice.
A School Kid in the Canalave Library complains about how the books on the floor he's standing on are too difficult to understand. Chugga attempts to pompously prove the boy wrong... except the books in question have been worn from being read so often, leading Chugga to conclude that he proved the boy right.
Chugga mocking Saturn's Toxicroak for having Anticipation instead of Dry Skin for its ability... only to have Psythe be outsped by and KO'd by its Poison Jab.
Episode 42
While drawing attention to the water in Lake Verity rising after the Galactic Bomb exploded and can now be Surfed on, Chugga erroneusly refers to Lake Verity as "Vake Lerity".
Chugga tries to talk to Ace Trainer Blake from the right instead of from the left for some reason, as there is tall grass to the right of Blake. He begins to say how he thinks Blake has a Pokémon that can't be seen during any required Trainer battle, but he encounters a wild Snover and changes his speech to how he thinks Blake "has a pet Snover right next to him that is meant to Troll me when I walk up right next to him, because I didn't have a Repel for two steps through grass".
He battles Skier Björn and muses over his name's pronunciation, trying "Bee-yorn", "Szhawn" and "Jorn", before saying that at least he's not calling him "Buh-jorn".
Episode 45
Chugga talks to an old man who gives out trendy sayings. The trendy saying is "IRRITABILITY". Chugga, who had been complaining about the snowstorm on Route 217 in the previous episode, cracks up from how appropriate this is.
Chugga's absolute HATRED for the Trainer in Snowpoint City who offers a trade: Your Medicham for her Haunter. Which is holding an Everstonenote Normally, in a trade, Haunter evolves into a Gengar. However, the Everstone prevents this evolution.
Episode 46
Marriland's back for the Super Contest episode and a rematch, but he wanted to show off the back of his card again for Chugga. This time it reads "Now do you remember how sexy I am, senpai?" With a rather "affectionate" Marill. note See Episode 27's section.
Chugga: Last time, we competed in a Pokémon Contest! (beat) Last time in the way of story, we won ourselves the Icicle Badge at Snowpoint City Gym and gained the ability to use Rock Climb outside of battle.
Chugga's attempt to obtain TM05 Roar while on his Bicycle. He keeps cycling past it, and then his Repel wears off. He begins to say he'd better not run into a wild Pokémon, changes the direction he's facing... and runs into a wild Pokémon.
Referring to the item placed atop a cliff in Veilstone City that the player needs Rock Climb to obtain:
Chugga: We got a score to settle! What, with Team Galactic? No, of course not! That is not what I'm referring to. We have a score to settle with this frickin'... evil item placement.
Episode 48
He watches the TV in the Galactic HQ, whose presenter talks about Chugga's Groupnote A feature in Gen IV that allows synchronization of a few daily events between players being described as the Water-type. note The last Pokémon Chugga had caught was a Feebas, a Water-type Pokémon. Chugga jokes that Team Galactic are trying to learn his weaknesses before talking to a nearby Scientist from the side, who had also been watching the TV... only to realise that the Scientist is a Trainer. After cutting to the end of the ensuing battle, Chugga angrily slams Jubilife TV for broadcasting information about him to the world to be watched by his archenemies.
Episode 49
Chugga sends out Acrobat against Cyrus' Sneasel. Acrobat manages to survive Sneasel's Ice Punch, but it gets frozen. Chugga is so enraged by this, he uses a Full Restore so Acrobat can survive the next Ice Punch and finish off Sneasel, since there's no way Sneasel could be lucky enough get the freeze chance twice in a row. And it isn't. It gets a critical instead.
His story about what happened to a friend of his while they were climbing Mt. Coronet: his friend encountered a shiny Graveler which, on the FIRST TURN, used Selfdestruct. Next encounter? ANOTHER shiny Graveler. And that ALSO used Selfdestruct on the first turn. As Chugga put it, that is just "the best worst luck."
This exchange:
Looker: Observe, if you will, that hole. Chugga: This is no time for pickup lines, Looker.
Episode 51
Chugga being so annoyed at Barry's lead Pokemon being a Munchlax he thanks Mars for fainting it.
Chugga ends the video on a cliffhanger and a Jump Scare courtesy of Giratina. While not funny on its own, the top comment by MasaeAnela certainly is.
MasaeAnela: So at 5AM this morning, I was asked to critique this video just as I was about to sleep. I have never played this far into Platinum. Little sleep was had. THANKS A LOT, EMILE.
Episode 53
In usual Chugga fashion against Legendary Pokémon, he threw several random Poké Balls at Giratina, but what was the one that finally did it? A Heal Ball. Made even more humorous that it took one shot for him to catch it when all the other ones, including the Dusk Ball, failed to capture it even if its 4x capture rate works in the Distortion World.
Made funnier still after he had said previously that he would never get any use out the remainder of his Heal Balls.
Chugga's scream when he discovers his Dusclops's nature.
Between videos, Chugga had placed Vanity in the PC in exchange for Derpidius, as Rock Climb is needed to reach Lake Acuity. When he does reach Lake Acuity, he realises that Derpidius doesn't know Surf and wonders why, then realises that Vanity has Surf now. He has to backtrack all the way back to the Snowpoint Pokémon Center to retrieve Vanity, though he does so off-camera.
Chugga manages to knock out Uxie with a Critical Hit. Twice.
Uxie using Yawn making Emile yawn in real life.
Episode 56
Chugga rapidly travels from Route 205 to Eterna City and back again. The encounter table rapidly changes along with it, but then switches faster and faster until it sticks to the location of "..??? I give up!". The Pokémon it lists include "Bidoof, I guess?" (5% Chance) and "Oh, and this thing too."(Mesprit). (100% chance)
When Chugga shows off the Roulette app, he decided to make it for "real world issues" by putting in two questions that everyone had to go through in their existence. The question is buy food or collect amiibos. Then he disagrees with it when it lands on "buy food."
Episode 60
In honor of TheJWittz (And pretty much EVERYONE on Game Theorists), Chugga uses "Backgrounds, Images and White Text" for a portion of the video. This inherently isn't funny at first, but he does it while having a picture of Byron, followed by fast scrolling text reading "I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE BASTIODOOOOOOOOOOON!" zooming past the screen.
Even Chugga's guests are getting in on the bad puns now, with JWittz commenting during their fight in which he had an Abombasnow out, "Thanks Abomba."
While grousing about how his team's only Fighting-Type move is Psythe's Vacuum Wave, he mentions that "Vacuum Wave kinda sucks." He's made this clear before; not only it is a base 40 (including STAB) move, but it's a Special move on a Physical attacker. The funny part, however, is that as soon as he finishes saying that, for one single frame, a subtitle pops up on screen: "VACUUM Wave SUCKS!?"
Episode 64
Chugga calling out one of the Poké Mart clerks for selling Heal Balls at the Pokémon League.
The whole episode can be described as Emile slowly descending into madness trying to catch the legendary birds.
Much like the last time Chugga's trying to capture a Roaming legendary, the normally informative sidebar's stats on the LegendaryBirds' encounter rate.
And later, after complaining about being daytime again after he was been trying for so long:
WHAT I WANT (Articuno): Repel% THE BEST ONE (Zapdos): Random% LEAVE ME ALONE (Moltres): 99.92%
After he caught Articuno:
2.5 HOURS (Articuno): Repel% THE BEST ONE (Zapdos): Random% LEAVE ME ALONE (Moltres): 99.92%
Later yet, after Acrobat got knocked out by a crit Flamethrower by Moltres:
2.5 HOURS (Articuno): Repel% THE BEST ONE (Zapdos): Random% Why couldn't it have been you. (Moltres): 99.92%
He finally ends off like this, after catching Moltres:
2.5 HOURS (Articuno): Repel% The Best One (Zapdos): Random% Thank God. (Moltres): 99.92%
During one of his attempts to catch Zapdos, he starts imitating the game menu and other in-game noises.
The thumbnail features a Dusk Ball stuck to Articuno's beak as if to shut it up.
After fighting it multiple times, Emile discovers that Moltres has Roost.
It takes him so long to catch Zapdos that he gives up and starts a recording session the next morning. He catches it on the first try, to much exasperation.
Episode 70
Chugga sees two ace trainers looking at each other, and decides that they are a couple staring into each others' eyes. He then wonders why the couple went to a dark cave on a date, with onscreen text pointing out that there are lots of things that could be done in a dark cave.
Episode 71
While going over the bios of Route 224, he just lets the gameplay screen sit for a good 30 seconds. Post Chugga (via onscreen text) was confused as to what his past self was doing.
After setting out to collect the items on Route 224, he comes to a traumatizing discovery: He's out of Repels. Cue becoming increasingly exasperated as he goes through the route trying to collect every item and encountering a ton of high leveled wild Pokémon.
Episode 74
When Chugga tries to justify that his pool is actually "a lake", we get this strange gem:
And a commenter decided to make terrible puns with it.
Anyone else who LP's Platinum has some BIG shoes to fill, as Chugga's going to CRUSH the competition. The battles that would take place will be MASSIVE and his opponents will have a HUGE problem dealing with Chugga's Pokémon
Chugga dodging (and then getting caught) by an Ace Trainer.
When he's asked if he wants to hear Cyrus's grandfather's story.
NNNNNNNN... Nah.
The perky and tired Ace Trainers.
Chugga finds a cliff with a ground of a two-by-two grid tile size with a bike-only slope and manages to get up there expecting a hidden item. There was absolutely nothing up there
He then fights another Ace trainer to go to a path expecting an item. The path was actually just a shortcut back to an earlier point, no hidden items included.
Episode 75
When Chugga speaks to the Meister, the NPC who upgrades the Pokédex so it can show descriptions of Pokémon in other languages, he gives him an accent that's difficult to place, to say the least. After he's done reading, he promptly apologizes to "all 12 countries (he) just offended in the span of, like, one minute".
Chugga ends up using Rock Climb and lands right into a Bird Keeper who he couldn't even see.
In the Battleground, as it is Buck's vouch that gets him in rather than a Gym Leader's:
Chugga: After Roark saw me grow and become a master of the Underground, after Gardenia...got her butt handed to me (sic) by my Crobat (er, Golbat at the time), after Fantina also got her butt handed to me by my Crobat, after Maylene...also got her butt handed to me by my Crobat, after Wake defeated me in battle one time, after I shared my enthusiasm with Byron, after I...wiped the floor with Candice, and after I reignited Volkner's passions for battling, thank you very much, none of those people vouched for me and gave me an invite here. Thanks for that, guys. Really appreciate it.
Episode 78
Daisy, the Captain Obvious Psychic explaining what we already know will happen.
Daisy: (about to battle Chugga) Right after this, you will send out your Pokémon to do battle!
Daisy: (after just losing to Chugga) After this, I will reluctantly hand over the prize money to you.
Oh, and she has a Slowpoke, make of that what you will.
When Chugga gets caught by a Trainer right after using Rock Climb once more:
In contrast to the special treatment of Legendary Pokémon having highly detailed bio pictures, poor ol'Regigigasgets the literal short end of the stick, thanks to being brought down to Level 1 in Platinum. The twelve-foot golem becomes toy-sized with a "LV 1" over its head, while angrily raving at the player character's legs. You can see the image here.
Chugga's surprise when he captures Regigigas in 5 balls! before he even finishes talking about it.
Chugga: Uuuuuuuuuuh. I thought we'd be here a heck of a lot longer?!
Also amusing is the fact that Regigigas was caught on the turn immediately following the turn that it "got its act together".
Chugga catches Dialga and Palkia with a LUXURY BALL and ANOTHER HEAL BALL respectively.
Even better: Dialga's caught with Derpidius out on the field.
Arceus' Egg group: "Out of Everyone's League"
Trying to end the video, Repel's effect wore off and he knocks over his drink and the glass shattered.
Episode 82
The end slate for the episode, where Chugga used the word 'OLD MAN' for every story to Julianote the lady who gives ribbons to the player for telling stories based around one word.
"OLD MAN snuggle pillow"
Episode 83:
Before rematching the Elite Four and Champion, Chugga gives bios to the last Pokémon that can be caught with the Super Rod. Which Pokémon gets the final bio for the project? Luvdisc.
The final battle with Cynthia is somewhat challenging, but not because of the Garchomp. The big, bad dragon is felled by Vanity without doing a single point of damage, thanks to whiffing two Dragon Rushes.
