[Vintendo]

Pats cat wants you to hit the sub button! You gotta listen to him 👊 And thank you Dopey Samu3l for the video idea!!

Pat : “Do you think I am an idiot to stay for Sucker Punch” while standing in Psychic Surge.

[YoshiDryBones]

I think if Vinny and Pat knew that the Japanese use R's instead of L's, they could've predicted quite a few more of these featured options. This was a fun video overall!

I never really focused on Japanese Pokémon names, but komala’s is a very good one. It’s name is nekoara, ne means to sleep, and koara is koala, so it’s name is literally just sleep koala. So cute

[fishingar]

"Mom, make the spaghetti!" Really got me😂

Yah Pat switched out to avoid a priority move while psychic terrain was up. Top tier battler right there

[JamesSomersetActor]

Oh man the aside with Kermit had me in stitches Vinnie 😂

I literally cry laughed

[Toast_Mcwaffler]

We love Vintendo content, especially when it features our boy Andrew 😂😂😂

[meldarion]

I really want to see this with German names 😂 but that's purely because I'll know if the pronunciations are any good. Fire video Cenzo 🔥🔥

[Imamotherfreakingavocado]

Just notes on the pronounciation:
• All es are pronounced, there are no silent es in Japanese, for example Churine is chu-ree-neh
• Ao is pronounced like ow
• Double letters make a small pause before so Mimikkyuu is like mee-mee kyuu

Mostly the pronounciation was pretty good though 👍

[machodgdon]

All I know is Gekkouga needs to make an appearance somewhere in this video fire video as usual my boy!

[its_me_rikichi]

Your pronounciations of Japanese pokemon names are on par with my Japanese students trying to pronounce the English names 😂 And the aside with Kermit was hilarious! It caught me off-guard and it was really well done lol

[pixlpuppi]

one of my favourite things is seeing the nicknames you guys come up with 😂although poor corviknight was left out

[silverdirewolf]

Okay.. I'll just say this as someone who's favorite pokemon is Skuntank. Skuntank's best ability if you could give it anything would probably be levitate, giving it no weakness, and Skuntank is a physical attacker. Seeing nasty plot on it made me sad.

[alexheldman]

2:40 'mono' means one, so that implies a Pokémon who has 1 as part of its name theme. Monozu sounds like a dragon-type, so Deino makes sense (root word 1 in German)

[emochickenzz]

Pat naming his Samurott "moist dog" 💀
I CANT 😭 🖐

[YangSuiSan]

Love the video!
As a constructive critic, I would have liked to have only the name revealed as well, to guess first and then see the silhuette. Otherwise it takes a little fun out of it

[xXDarkxXxStardustXx]

Typhlosion is called Tornupto in German. That's badass, too.
I also noticed that some German names are inspired from the Japanese names like Braixen or Cacturne.

[ashtonoak]

Love how Patternz uses his pronuciations correct.

A very underrated thing in the pokemon community
