You know, my defense of Flamigo, is how damn bizarre real flamingos are. Flamingos produce blood from their eyes to feed their young, are bright fucking pink birds, and are proportioned like a shitty chair. Imagine, please, you are a group of overworked japanese designers trying to make a flamingo "more like a pokemon". I honestly appreciate that the smaller elements of Flamingo's design show off it's secondary flighting type. It has a stance and glare that just says it is gonna gut punch you.

That Steiner match line was fabulous! I never thought I would see it used in a Pokémon video.
I assume the Starmobiles work similarly to the Tera Pokemon you find in the crystal caverns. That is, not only do they get the usual changes from Terastallization, they also have way more HP than usual, and possibly some other boosts.
As a small note, Grusha is a guy :P
The whole Star Mobile is funny to me, because in their design you can see it is not just a Revavroom. It is also two Varooms for the back wheels. And according to the lore told to us by the flashbacks, at least one Charcadet is inside of the Star Mobiles to give them the needed power to function, although I dare to remember they mentioned training two. If this holds up since they are flashbacks? Dunno, but the Varooms in the design are still there so it is not a stretch. Scarlet and Violet has a good story along all paths! Really worth the attention if you can spend it.

You couldve caught the shiny Psyduck, catching pokemon also gives exp, which also means doing it gives evs
grusha is a guy and rika is a girl just so ya know chief
I'm sure that dozens of other people have already told you this, but comments are good for the KZread Algorithm, so... Grusha is a man, not a woman. He's a top-tier femboy.
Well, Koraidon is a paradox Pokémon, so the only rule the game made you break is the terastallization one.
Just a quick note: Grusha, according to the Pokemon website, is male (or at least uses he/him). You used in the video she while referring to Grusha.

Meowscarada is kinda an OP starter. 110 attack and 123 speed, and flower trick is base 70 power and a guarunteed crit hit. It also has acess to a stab night slash, and play rough and u turn for coverage and switching.
Don't think I'm going to say anything that hasn't already been commented but a couple script mistakes I noticed are: Protosythesis has a PR not an PH. Don't put emphasis on the Pee in Cassiopeia. The lu in Lucario is not pronounced low. Grusha is male. The elite 4 are not related. The switch only drops frames in a few (2 or 3) specific areas, but the game cuts framerate of animations based on distance that an emulator would still have without modding the ROM. I think that was everything I noticed.

If the former, this is not meant as an insult and it doesn't really matter which you say as I'm only asking for my own curiosity. If the latter, this is still not meant as an insult and I respect the idea since it clearly worked. Also, random fun fact for people who bother reading this bit: the "nacl" in the Nacli line's names is a reference to the chemical formula for salt, which is sodium chloride, that when written/typed using their offical shorthand or whatever it's called is spelled as "NaCl".
