This was the first thing I thought too!  But I think the mirror test really has to do with animals recognizing themselves in the mirror, as opposed to recognizing other objects/animals.  Like, if you put a mark on a cat’s face and they see it in a mirror, would the cat try to clean it off?  I think that’s really what…

I tend to forget that JRPGs aren’t all that popular.  Thanks for the perspective!

My friends and I pretty much exclusively play JRPGs, so for us it will definitely be “popular and impactful.”  But, point enthusiastically taken.  A little bit of perspective helps!

No mention of P5R?  Or am I just over-hyped for it?

Apologies if this is in the video because I can’t watch it right now, but I hope dlc costumes carry over, or at the very least I can repurchase them at a steep discount.  Morgana in the maid costume was the most adorable thing ever.

Thank you for the thorough response!

In the websites I typically read, the Dex issue was pretty much the only thing that was repeatedly brought up.  Can you share what the other big issues are?  Or point me in the right direction to start looking?  Thanks.

Wait wait wait someone actually completed a game running at 1 frame per second?  How is that even possible?

I’m SO happy that they’re bringing back fat pikachu!

Not a particularly recent game, but the fishing in Hey You Pikachu is probably the best fishing minigame, or minigame generally, I’ve played.

*insert some joke about getting a mouthful of roast beef*

Very surprising to me that this 340 hour run is so optimized that losing an hour would kill the run.  On the other hand, I get that he felt bummed out enough about it to quit.

No Boogerman?  Cmaaaaan

Both the regular battle music and the boss battle music are absolute bangers!

I admittedly have never really followed Barron’s actions or anything, but is there any evidence he might have ASD?  Just seems like a kid who’s trying to lead a normal life somehow.

You didn’t like the GBA game either? /s

Thanks for the info! Interesting that TPC was sued over Kadabra. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee’s Japanese names are taken from a famous boxer and kickboxer respectively...I guess Uri Geller just doesn’t have any chill.

I know the backstory behind Porygon, but what’s the deal with Abra and Barboach?

I’m fully prepared to either stay in the grays or get a million people slamming me (or both!) but here goes. When the controversy first flared up I was fully on board with cancelling him. Everything I read or watched made him seem like a monster. But out of curiosity I watched his video when it popped a few days ago…

Tim, I love all your videos but 12 year old me would like to have a word with you about Auron.
