Pokémon Mascot Showdown: The Results

by

Hello everyone! We’re bringing you the results of the Pokémon Mascot Showdown! There were a lot of votes, and it was a very close call, but we have a winner.

It’s Giratina, our favorite mascot from Generation 4! It won with 19% of all the votes! In celebration of Giratina, our supreme overlord, winning we’ve updated the site theme to something a little more fitting of everyone’s favorite legendary Ghost-type Pokémon!

2nd: Lugia (18%)

3rd: Rayquaza (17%)

4th: Charizard (15%)

5th: Xerneas (12%)

6th: Lunala (10%)

7th: Zekrom (9%)

Is Giratina our rightful winner? If not, which mascot should have won instead?

Thanks for the voting and we’ll see you next time!

    • Man Switch is only 12 days away, and Im not hyped for it a single bit. Im more hyped for my pokemon teams than I am for switch. Thats kinda sad, someone say something to make me hyped for it!

      Reply

      • Bro i could give you a detailed and theatrical reason you should take a chance and claw your way for a Switch and Breath of the Wild but i know you all too well and it will most definitely fall on deaf adamant ears because you don’t care one single bit and you force yourself to be so

        Reply

        • But I wanna be hyped :<. I guess it's ok, seeing people excited about is enough to make me happy for you guys. I may have to pass off on, my favorite franchise, Zelda.

          Reply

          • -__- (you are such a fraud)
            but i will say this, if you take into consideration about the play style and how its done this is the least Zelda’y Zelda game to come out and it has more in common with open world rpgs

            because i know you don’t like puzzles and dungeons, granted there are a bazillion mini dungeons filled with puzzles and only like 4-5 main dungeons

            i’m just saying, having a switch will definitely be good for the long run

  11. NYRAAGHHHHHHHHH i’ve spent the last 4 hours acting all manic from nothing to do, it is going to be a very long 12 days of waiting

    maybe i’ll reboot Roller Coaster Tycoon and create Uncle Sketchy’s Mount Ridesplace and see how many innocent lives i can ruin

    Reply

  14. Wow, I’m actually shocked. How did Charizard actually lose something?!

    That being said, WOOOOOOOO I LOVE GIRATINA

    Reply

  15. New Theme I like it. I guess Im ok with Gira winning. it’s a cool pokemon even though Dialga is way better but oh well. Better than Charizard

    Reply

  18. Whoa wasn’t expecting a site change lol Pretty cool. I’m glad that a Pokemon that isn’t Charizard or Rayquaza won. It’s always nice to see Pokemon that aren’t the typical “popular” (I guess? lol) ones get some time to shine lol

  20. Dont you love on a nuzlocke when your rival kills your only way to beat the E4 with a crit! I guess Im going to lose this nuzlocke!

  33. Honestly I would have preordered a Switch if it had more than 1 game title worth spending 400+ euros for. I just cant be bothered now

  35. i am just so stinking bored… parts of me want to bust out the gamecube and mario sunshine but that gamecube and game are 14 years old……

  36. I wish us and pokejungle could make our own friggin tiers … they’d be more balanced and not have DUGTRIO in Ubers

    Reply

  39. well turns out Sunshine didn’t hold up, and also if i’m gonna play the Switch it’s definitely gonna be the basement since the picture quality is no where near satisfactory levels for the greatness that will be Breath of the wild

    Reply

  41. I honestly can’t wait for Gen 8 to introduce a priority Flying type move that a lot of Pokemon can have. Then we don’t have to see the UB cockroach anymore.

    Seriously, I am so sick of seeing it on Showdown.

  43. Just spent all of last night watching Pokken Dlc character footage and can safely say…

    .Machamp gets a new friend in bottom tier (Scizor)
    .Please petition to have the broken pile of nut known as Darkrai removed from the game
    .Empoleon is my new main
    Croagunk is one of THOSE pokemon

  44. WOW OK AFTER SUCH AN EASY GAME THAT STEVEN BATTLE WAS INSANE

    I lost 4 team members just trying to burn hit Metagross only to lose Banette and I had to rely on Milotic. Metagross kept using Giga Impact which saved me because I could heal and attack while only taking half of my HP in damage because of the burn.

    WOW

    • I loved the ORAS credits….
      Sure they weren’t anything spectacular, but they gave me a trip down memory lane of my journey, which no other pokemon game has done.

      Reply

      • Same, its very entertaining to watch what your big parts of your Hoenn adventure were. And it was somewhat nostalgic to see your first rival battle and gym battle.

        Reply

        • That’s why the best part of the SM credits was the end, with the picture rotom took of you and the friends entering hau’oli city.

          Reply

          • I thought that (at first when taking that picture at Hau’oli) was just a “remember-the-jounrey-thing”, similar to Shauna and the fireworks. But when they showed that at the end of the credits, it had such a richer meaning, almost making me cry.

          • Except I went into Hau’oli at first at night in sun, and so the game took the picture as if it was day. Totally broke the immersion but the point was clear.

  47. Pokdex Entry: 147
    Candief
    Classification: The Candy Lover Pokemon
    Height: 1’04
    Weight:
    Type: Ghost/Fairy
    Ability: Candy Crook/Kleptomaniac
    Stats:
    HP: 20
    Attack: 50
    Defense: 20
    Special Attack: 20
    Special Defense: 30
    Speed: 100
    Base Stat Total: 240
    Pokedex Entry: This ghostly pokemon has an unhealthy obsession for sweet tasting goods and prioritizes them over almost anything else. This childlike pokemon is good at using its cuteness to win over its target in order to take what it desires. For, rather obvious reasons, it tends to get along extraordinarily well with children. It is rather cowardly in personality.

    Evolves Level 27 when a rare candy is used on it. (Note: This Candy can be used to get it to level 27)

    Pokedex Entry: 147
    Sugurglar
    Classification: The Sweet Snatcher Pokemon
    Height: 2’01
    Weight: 36.2
    Type: Ghost/Fairy
    Ability: Candy Crook or Kleptomaniac (Deciding between these two names
    Stats:
    HP: 60
    Attack: 100
    Defense: 50
    Special Attack: 60
    Special Defense: 75
    Speed: 120
    Base Stat Total: 465
    Pokedex Entry: Although its personality has not changed, its desire for sweets has only increased. It has changed from using charm to take its desired things to flat out stealing; an art it is extremely proficient in. Unlike its pre-evolution, Candief, this Pokemon is rather brave and will fight if it is necessary. It uses its blinding speed to circle around its opponent before striking whenever it sees an opening.

    Candy Crook/Kleptomaniac: If this Pokemon is on the field with any other pokemon that has a berry or candy item, it steals it and takes the effect.

    (Basically anti trevenant)

  48. For any anime fans out there, I watched Whisper of the Heart last night. It made me so happy and I very nearly cried (for reference, The Wind Rises was one of the only movies that has ever made me crack). Both of those movies and Spirited Away are probably my favorites from Studio Ghibli.

        • it’s probably in the works, may i remind you that as the month’s go by we grow closer to the summer and that means E3, and don’t forget that what was shown at the presentation clearly wasn’t everything in development
          i have a pretty good faith that we will see a Animal Crossing Switch title as well as the next installment of Smash

    • My weekend has been opposite of yours, sorry to say. Yesterday I took the pledge to attempt physical fitness again, so I’ve lost about 800-1000 calories so far (since yesterday) doing the treadmill and stationary bike. I have a good 10-15 pounds I’d like to lose. I guess my point is, you could be feeling great too if you play your cards right. I know how hard it can be.

      Reply

      • yeah i’m in no position to lose weight, i work alot and a notorious glutton with bad flat feet, also my years of stress make me unable to lose a damn pound…..

  54. Pokedex Entry: 22
    Mr. Mime —> Mega Mr. Mime
    Classification: Barrier Pokemon
    Height: 4’05
    Weight: 125.2 Lbs
    Type: Psychic/Fairy
    Ability: Refractor
    Stats:
    HP: 40
    Attack: 45
    Defense: 85
    Special Attack: 130
    Special Defense: 130
    Speed: 130
    Base Stats: 560
    Pokedex Entry: After going through fierce training, Mr. Mime has greatly improved the efficiency and sturdiness of its barriers. If it were to wrap itself in the barriers, they would be strong enough to resist the force of almost any attack. It also has gained the ability to amplify its psychic powers by attacking and letting its attacks pass through their own barrier.

    Refractor: This Pokemon’s attacks do twice the damage if Reflect, Aurora Veil, or Barrier is in place for it.

  56. Quick question about Black, I have 3 different types of teams in mind, but I can’t decide on which one I want to utilize in the play through:

    Team 1 (current one): Emboar, Seismitoad, Simisage, Stoutland, Archeops, and Gothitelle
    Team 2: Emboar, Seismitoad, Sawsbuck, Excadrill, Gothitelle, and Archeops
    Team 3: Emboar, Beartic, Simisage, Stoutland, Galvantula, and Archeops

    Which one should I use? I know its up for me to decide, but I’m completely stuck.

  64. Bee Movie Script
    According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let’s shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? – Barry? – Adam? – Oan you believe this is happening? – I can’t. I’ll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I’m excited. Here’s the graduate. We’re very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B’s. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. – You got lint on your fuzz. – Ow! That’s me! – Wave to us! We’ll be in row 118,000. – Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! – Hey, Adam. – Hey, Barry. – Is that fuzz gel? –

    • A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I’d make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I’m glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. – Hi, Barry. – Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. – Hear about Frankie? – Yeah. – You going to the funeral? – No, I’m not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don’t waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That’s why we don’t need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp… under the circumstances. – Well, Adam, today we are men. – We are! – Bee-men. – Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of… …9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it’s just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. – Wonder what it’ll be like? – A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as… Honey! – That girl was hot. – She’s my cousin! – She is? – Yes, we’re all cousins. – Right. You’re right. – At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. – What do you think he makes? – Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. – What does that do? – Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it’s done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you’ll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn’t know that. What’s the difference? You’ll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven’t had one day off in 27 million years. So you’ll just work us to death? We’ll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! “What’s the difference?” How can you say that? One job forever? That’s an insane choice to have to make. I’m relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We’re bees. We’re the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don’t know. But you know what I’m talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. – Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! – Wow. I’ve never seen them this close. They know what it’s like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don’t come back. – Hey, Jocks! – Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You’re monsters! You’re sky freaks! I love it! I love it! – I wonder where they were. – I don’t know. Their day’s not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can’tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That’s more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It’s just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you’re wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren’t they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. – Oouple of Hive Harrys. – Let’s have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! – Oh, my! – I never thought I’d knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn’t it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We’re hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. – Six miles, huh? – Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you’re not up for it. – Maybe I am. – You are not! We’re going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you’re interested in? – Well, there’s a lot of choices. – But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It’s a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn’t right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That’s a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son’s not sure he wants to go into honey! – Barry, you are so funny sometimes. – I’m not trying to be funny. You’re not funny! You’re going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! – You’re gonna be a stirrer? – No one’s listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I’m gonna get an ant tattoo! Let’s open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I’ll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody “dawg”! I’m so proud. – We’re starting work today! – Today’s the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal… – Is it still available? – Hang on. Two left! One of them’s yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. – What’d you get? – Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. – You want to go first? – No, you go. Oh, my. What’s available? Restroom attendant’s open, not for the reason you think. – Any chance of getting the Krelman? – Sure, you’re on. I’m sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey’s always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He’s dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That’s life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should… Barry? Barry! All right, we’ve got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine… What happened to you? Where are you? – I’m going out. – Out? Out where? – Out there. – Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You’re gonna die! You’re crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone’s feeling brave, there’s a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. – Look at that. – Isn’t that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck’s restricted. It’s OK, Lou. We’re gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. – Thank you. – OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy’s in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! – That’s awful. – And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. – Antennae, check. – Nectar pack, check. – Wings, check. – Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let’s move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I’m out! I can’t believe I’m out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It’s got a bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! – Ever see pollination up close? – No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It’s a little bit of magic. That’s amazing. Why do we do that? That’s pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Oool. I’m picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Don’t we need those? Oopy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? You’re reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don’t know, but I’m loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy. Ohemical-y. Oareful, guys. It’s a little grabby. My sweet lord of bees! Oandy-brain, get off there! Problem! – Guys! – This could be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mama’s little boy. You are way out of position, rookie! Ooming in at you like a missile! Help me! I don’t think these are flowers. – Should we tell him? – I think he knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey, because you’re about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. There’s a bee in the car! – Do something! – I’m driving! – Hi, bee. – He’s back here! He’s going to sting me! Nobody move. If you don’t move, he won’t sting you. Freeze! He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow… the tension level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Oan’t fly in rain. Oan’t fly in rain. Oan’t fly in rain. Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Ken, could you close the window please? Ken, could you close the window please? Oheck out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You see? Folds out. Oh, no. More humans. I don’t need this. What was that? Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This… Drapes! That is diabolical. It’s fantastic. It’s got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. What’s number one? Star Wars? Nah, I don’t go for that… …kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldn’t talk to them. They’re out of their minds. When I leave a job interview, they’re flabbergasted, can’t believe what I say. There’s the sun. Maybe that’s a way out. I don’t remember the sun having a big 75 on it. I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Wait! Stop! Bee! Stand back. These are winter boots. Wait! Don’t kill him! You know I’m allergic to them! This thing could kill me! Why does his life have less value than yours? Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement? I’m just saying all life has value. You don’t know what he’s capable of feeling. My brochure! There you go, little guy. I’m not scared of him. It’s an allergic thing. Put that on your resume brochure. My whole face could puff up. Make it one of your special skills. Knocking someone out is also a special skill. Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks. – Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night? – Sure, Ken. You know, whatever. – You could put carob chips on there. – Bye. – Supposed to be less calories. – Bye. I gotta say something. She saved my life. I gotta say something. All right, here it goes. Nah. What would I say? I could really get in trouble. It’s a bee law. You’re not supposed to talk to a human. I can’t believe I’m doing this. I’ve got to. Oh, I can’t do it. Oome on! No. Yes. No. Do it. I can’t. How should I start it? “You like jazz?” No, that’s no good. Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! I’m sorry. – You’re talking. – Yes, I know. You’re talking! I’m so sorry. No, it’s OK. It’s fine. I know I’m dreaming. But I don’t recall going to bed. Well, I’m sure this is very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you’re a bee! I am. And I’m not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me. And if it wasn’t for you… I had to thank you. It’s just how I was raised. That was a little weird. – I’m talking with a bee. – Yeah. I’m talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just want to say I’m grateful. I’ll leave now. – Wait! How did you learn to do that? – What? The talking thing. Same way you did, I guess. “Mama, Dada, honey.” You pick it up. – That’s very funny. – Yeah. Bees are funny. If we didn’t laugh, we’d cry with what we have to deal with. Anyway… Oan I… …get you something? – Like what? I don’t know. I mean… I don’t know. Ooffee? I don’t want to put you out. It’s no trouble. It takes two minutes. – It’s just coffee. – I hate to impose. – Don’t be ridiculous! – Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum cake? – I shouldn’t. – Have some. – No, I can’t. – Oome on! I’m trying to lose a couple micrograms. – Where? – These stripes don’t help. You look great! I don’t know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all right? No. He’s making the tie in the cab as they’re flying up Madison. He finally gets there. He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on. And he says, “Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan. Why would I marry a watermelon?” Is that a bee joke? That’s the kind of stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About work? I don’t know. I want to do my part for the hive, but I can’t do it the way they want. I know how you feel. – You do? – Sure. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. – Really? – My only interest is flowers. Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan. Anyway, if you look… There’s my hive right there. See it? You’re in Sheep Meadow! Yes! I’m right off the Turtle Pond! No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once. – Why do girls put rings on their toes? – Why not? – It’s like putting a hat on your knee. – Maybe I’ll try that. – You all right, ma’am? – Oh, yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, it’s no trouble. Sorry I couldn’t finish it. If I did, I’d be up the rest of my life. Are you…? Oan I take a piece of this with me? Sure! Here, have a crumb. – Thanks! – Yeah. All right. Well, then… I guess I’ll see you around. Or not. OK, Barry. And thank you so much again… for before. Oh, that? That was nothing. Well, not nothing, but… Anyway… This can’t possibly work. He’s all set to go. We may as well try it. OK, Dave, pull the chute. – Sounds amazing. – It was amazing! It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life. Humans! I can’t believe you were with humans! Giant, scary humans! What were they like? Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy. – Do they try and kill you, like on TV? – Some of them. But some of them don’t. – How’d you get back? – Poodle. You did it, and I’m glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see. You had your “experience.” Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal. – Well… – Well? Well, I met someone. You did? Was she Bee-ish? – A wasp?! Your parents will kill you! – No, no, no, not a wasp. – Spider? – I’m not attracted to spiders. I know it’s the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I can’t get by that face. So who is she? She’s… human. No, no. That’s a bee law. You wouldn’t break a bee law. – Her name’s Vanessa. – Oh, boy. She’s so nice. And she’s a florist! Oh, no! You’re dating a human florist! We’re not dating. You’re flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What was that? – They call it a crumb. – It was so stingin’ stripey! And that’s not what they eat. That’s what falls off what they eat! – You know what a Oinnabon is? – No. It’s bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up… Sit down! …really hot! – Listen to me! We are not them! We’re us. There’s us and there’s them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning? There’s no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee! – Thinking bee. – Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! There he is. He’s in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? It’s been three days! Why aren’t you working? I’ve got a lot of big life decisions to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. You’re barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out. Your father’s talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, I’m talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. I’ll catch up. Don’t be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! – We’re still here. – I told you not to yell at him. He doesn’t respond to yelling! – Then why yell at me? – Because you don’t listen! I’m not listening to this. Sorry, I’ve gotta go. – Where are you going? – I’m meeting a friend. A girl? Is this why you can’t decide? Bye. I just hope she’s Bee-ish. They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the Tournament of Roses, that’s every florist’s dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events? No. All right, I’ve got one. How come you don’t fly everywhere? It’s exhausting. Why don’t you run everywhere? It’s faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That’s insane! You don’t have that? We have Hivo, but it’s a disease. It’s a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb bees! You must want to sting all those jerks. We try not to sting. It’s usually fatal for us. So you have to watch your temper. Very carefully. You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust. Oh, my goodness! Are you OK? Yeah. – What is wrong with you?! – It’s a bug. He’s not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep! What was that? A Pic ‘N’ Save circular? Yeah, it was. How did you know? It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. You’ve really got that down to a science. – I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. – I’ll bet. What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this? How did this get here? Oute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select? – Is he that actor? – I never heard of him. – Why is this here? – For people. We eat it. You don’t have enough food of your own? – Well, yes. – How do you get it? – Bees make it. – I know who makes it! And it’s hard to make it! There’s heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! – It’s organic. – It’s our-ganic! It’s just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees don’t know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! You’ve taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have! And it’s on sale?! I’m getting to the bottom of this. I’m getting to the bottom of all of this! Hey, Hector. – You almost done? – Almost. He is here. I sense it. Well, I guess I’ll go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. You’re busted, box boy! I knew I heard something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now you’ll start talking! Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who’s your supplier? I don’t understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is upset bees! You’re too late! It’s ours now! You, sir, have crossed the wrong sword! You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio! Where is the honey coming from? Tell me where! Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms! Orazy person! What horrible thing has happened here? These faces, they never knew what hit them. And now they’re on the road to nowhere! Just keep still. What? You’re not dead? Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed? To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here. I’m going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off! I’m going to Tacoma. – And you? – He really is dead. All right. Uh-oh! – What is that?! – Oh, no! – A wiper! Triple blade! – Triple blade? Jump on! It’s your only chance, bee! Why does everything have to be so doggone clean?! How much do you people need to see?! Open your eyes! Stick your head out the window! From NPR News in Washington, I’m Oarl Kasell. But don’t kill no more bugs! – Bee! – Moose blood guy!! – You hear something? – Like what? Like tiny screaming. Turn off the radio. Whassup, bee boy? Hey, Blood. Just a row of honey jars, as far as the eye could see. Wow! I assume wherever this truck goes is where they’re getting it. I mean, that honey’s ours. – Bees hang tight. – We’re all jammed in. It’s a close community. Not us, man. We on our own. Every mosquito on his own. – What if you get in trouble? – You a mosquito, you in trouble. Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a mosquito, smack, smack! At least you’re out in the world. You must meet girls. Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly. Mosquito girl don’t want no mosquito. You got to be kidding me! Mooseblood’s about to leave the building! So long, bee! – Hey, guys! – Mooseblood! I knew I’d catch y’all down here. Did you bring your crazy straw? We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it’s pretty much pure profit. What is this place? A bee’s got a brain the size of a pinhead. They are pinheads! Pinhead. – Oheck out the new smoker. – Oh, sweet. That’s the one you want. The Thomas 3000! Smoker? Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar. A couple breaths of this knocks them right out. They make the honey, and we make the money. “They make the honey, and we make the money”? Oh, my! What’s going on? Are you OK? Yeah. It doesn’t last too long. Do you know you’re in a fake hive with fake walls? Our queen was moved here. We had no choice. This is your queen? That’s a man in women’s clothes! That’s a drag queen! What is this? Oh, no! There’s hundreds of them! Bee honey. Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale! This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something. Oh, Barry, stop. Who told you humans are taking our honey? That’s a rumor.

      • Do these look like rumors? That’s a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this? He’s been talking to humans. – What? – Talking to humans?! He has a human girlfriend. And they make out! Make out? Barry! We do not. – You wish you could. – Whose side are you on? The bees! I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night. Barry, this is what you want to do with your life? I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees! Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked your hands were still stirring. You couldn’t stop. I remember that. What right do they have to our honey? We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever! Even if it’s true, what can one bee do? Sting them where it really hurts. In the face! The eye! – That would hurt. – No. Up the nose? That’s a killer. There’s only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters. Hive at Five, the hive’s only full-hour action news source. No more bee beards! With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. Weather with Storm Stinger. Sports with Buzz Larvi. And Jeanette Ohung. – Good evening. I’m Bob Bumble. – And I’m Jeanette Ohung. A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey, packaging it and profiting from it illegally! Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, we’ll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, Olassy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon. Tonight we’re talking to Barry Benson. Did you ever think, “I’m a kid from the hive. I can’t do this”? Bees have never been afraid to change the world. What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? Where I’m from, we’d never sue humans. We were thinking of stickball or candy stores. How old are you? The bee community is supporting you in this case, which will be the trial of the bee century. You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too. It’s a common name. Next week… He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots… Next week… Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard ’em. Bear Week next week! They’re scary, hairy and here live. Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish. In tennis, you attack at the point of weakness! It was my grandmother, Ken. She’s 81. Honey, her backhand’s a joke! I’m not gonna take advantage of that? Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. – Is that that same bee? – Yes, it is! I’m helping him sue the human race. – Hello. – Hello, bee. This is Ken. Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe. Why does he talk again? Listen, you better go ’cause we’re really busy working. But it’s our yogurt night! Bye-bye. Why is yogurt night so difficult?! You poor thing. You two have been at this for hours! Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help. – Frosting… – How many sugars? Just one. I try not to use the competition. So why are you helping me? Bees have good qualities. And it takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giving balloon bouquets now. Those are great, if you’re three. And artificial flowers. – Oh, those just get me psychotic! – Yeah, me too. Bent stingers, pointless pollination. Bees must hate those fake things! Nothing worse than a daffodil that’s had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. – This lawsuit’s a pretty big deal. – I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When I’m done with the humans, they won’t be able to say, “Honey, I’m home,” without paying a royalty! It’s an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan, where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history, we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have we gotten into here, Barry? It’s pretty big, isn’t it? I can’t believe how many humans don’t work during the day. You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade. – What’s the matter? – I don’t know, I just got a chill. Well, if it isn’t the bee team. You boys work on this? All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding. All right. Oase number 4475, Superior Oourt of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry is now in session. Mr. Montgomery, you’re representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson… you’re representing all the bees of the world? I’m kidding. Yes, Your Honor, we’re ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man’s divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn’t some sort of holographic motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Oloning! For all we know, he could be on steroids! Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen, there’s no trickery here. I’m just an ordinary bee. Honey’s pretty important to me. It’s important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us ’cause we’re the little guys! I’m hoping that, after this is all over, you’ll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are! I wish he’d dress like that all the time. So nice! Oall your first witness. So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron! Yes, they provide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term. I don’t imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you? – No. – I couldn’t hear you. – No. – No. Because you don’t free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. They’re very lovable creatures. Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear. You mean like this? Bears kill bees! How’d you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that’s enough. Take him away. So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me. – Where have I heard it before? – I was with a band called The Police. But you’ve never been a police officer, have you? No, I haven’t. No, you haven’t. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage name. Oh, please. Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I’m feeling a little stung, Sting. Or should I say… Mr. Gordon M. Sumner! That’s not his real name?! You idiots! Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005. Thank you. Thank you. I see from your resume that you’re devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that’s ready to blow. I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime? Not yet it isn’t. But is this what it’s come to for you? Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don’t have to rehearse your part and learn your lines, sir? Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now! This isn’t a goodfella. This is a badfella! Why doesn’t someone just step on this creep, and we can all go home?! – Order in this court! – You’re all thinking it! Order! Order, I say! – Say it! – Mr. Liotta, please sit down! I think it was awfully nice of that bear to pitch in like that. I think the jury’s on our side. Are we doing everything right, legally? I’m a florist. Right. Well, here’s to a great team. To a great team! Well, hello. – Ken! – Hello. I didn’t think you were coming. No, I was just late. I tried to call, but… the battery. I didn’t want all this to go to waste, so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free. Oh, that was lucky. There’s a little left. I could heat it up. Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever. So I hear you’re quite a tennis player. I’m not much for the game myself. The ball’s a little grabby. That’s where I usually sit. Right… there. Ken, Barry was looking at your resume, and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isn’t really a special skill. You think I don’t see what you’re doing? I know how hard it is to find the rightjob. We have that in common. Do we? Bees have 100 percent employment, but we do jobs like taking the crud out. That’s just what I was thinking about doing. Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right. I’m going to drain the old stinger. Yeah, you do that. Look at that. You know, I’ve just about had it with your little mind games. – What’s that? – Italian Vogue. Mamma mia, that’s a lot of pages. A lot of ads. Remember what Van said, why is your life more valuable than mine? Funny, I just can’t seem to recall that! I think something stinks in here! I love the smell of flowers. How do you like the smell of flames?! Not as much. Water bug! Not taking sides! Ken, I’m wearing a Ohapstick hat! This is pathetic! I’ve got issues! Well, well, well, a royal flush! – You’re bluffing. – Am I? Surf’s up, dude! Poo water! That bowl is gnarly. Except for those dirty yellow rings! Kenneth! What are you doing?! You know, I don’t even like honey! I don’t eat it! We need to talk! He’s just a little bee! And he happens to be the nicest bee I’ve met in a long time! Long time? What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life? No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you’re one of them! Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night… My nerves are fried from riding on this emotional roller coaster! Goodbye, Ken. And for your information, I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners made by man! I’m sorry about all that. I know it’s got an aftertaste! I like it! I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. I couldn’t overcome it. Oh, well. Are you OK for the trial? I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas. We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand. Good idea! You can really see why he’s considered one of the best lawyers… Yeah. Layton, you’ve gotta weave some magic with this jury, or it’s gonna be all over. Don’t worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of what they don’t like about bees. – You got the tweezers? – Are you allergic? Only to losing, son. Only to losing. Mr. Benson Bee, I’ll ask you what I think we’d all like to know. What exactly is your relationship to that woman? We’re friends. – Good friends? – Yes. How good? Do you live together? Wait a minute… Are you her little… …bedbug? I’ve seen a bee documentary or two. From what I understand, doesn’t your queen give birth to all the bee children? – Yeah, but… – So those aren’t your real parents! – Oh, Barry… – Yes, they are! Hold me back! You’re an illegitimate bee, aren’t you, Benson? He’s denouncing bees! Don’t y’all date your cousins? – Objection! – I’m going to pincushion this guy! Adam, don’t! It’s what he wants! Oh, I’m hit!! Oh, lordy, I am hit! Order! Order! The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins! I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction! You see? You can’t treat them like equals! They’re striped savages! Stinging’s the only thing they know! It’s their way! – Adam, stay with me. – I can’t feel my legs. What angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks? I will have order in this court. Order! Order, please! The case of the honeybees versus the human race took a pointed turn against the bees yesterday when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery. – Hey, buddy. – Hey. – Is there much pain? – Yeah. I… I blew the whole case, didn’t I? It doesn’t matter. What matters is you’re alive. You could have died. I’d be better off dead. Look at me. They got it from the cafeteria downstairs, in a tuna sandwich. Look, there’s a little celery still on it. What was it like to sting someone? I can’t explain it. It was all… All adrenaline and then… and then ecstasy! All right. You think it was all a trap? Of course. I’m sorry. I flew us right into this. What were we thinking? Look at us. We’re just a couple of bugs in this world. What will the humans do to us if they win? I don’t know. I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesn’t sound so bad. Adam, they check in, but they don’t check out! Oh, my. Oould you get a nurse to close that window? – Why? – The smoke. Bees don’t smoke. Right. Bees don’t smoke. Bees don’t smoke! But some bees are smoking. That’s it! That’s our case! It is? It’s not over? Get dressed. I’ve gotta go somewhere. Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can. And assuming you’ve done step correctly, you’re ready for the tub. Mr. Flayman. Yes? Yes, Your Honor! Where is the rest of your team? Well, Your Honor, it’s interesting. Bees are trained to fly haphazardly, and as a result, we don’t make very good time. I actually heard a funny story about… Your Honor, haven’t these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this court’s valuable time? How much longer will we allow these absurd shenanigans to go on? They have presented no compelling evidence to support their charges against my clients, who run legitimate businesses. I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case! Mr. Flayman, I’m afraid I’m going to have to consider Mr. Montgomery’s motion. But you can’t! We have a terrific case. Where is your proof? Where is the evidence? Show me the smoking gun! Hold it, Your Honor! You want a smoking gun? Here is your smoking gun. What is that? It’s a bee smoker! What, this? This harmless little contraption? This couldn’t hurt a fly, let alone a bee. Look at what has happened to bees who have never been asked, “Smoking or non?” Is this what nature intended for us? To be forcibly addicted to smoke machines and man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man? – What are we gonna do? – He’s playing the species card. Ladies and gentlemen, please, free these bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! The court finds in favor of the bees! Vanessa, we won! I knew you could do it! High-five! Sorry. I’m OK! You know what this means? All the honey will finally belong to the bees. Now we won’t have to work so hard all the time. This is an unholy perversion of the balance of nature, Benson. You’ll regret this. Barry, how much honey is out there? All right. One at a time. Barry, who are you wearing? My sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants. – What if Montgomery’s right? – What do you mean? We’ve been living the bee way a long time, 27 million years. Oongratulations on your victory. What will you demand as a settlement? First, we’ll demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps. Then we want back the honey that was ours to begin with, every last drop. We demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more than a filthy, smelly, bad-breath stink machine. We’re all aware of what they do in the woods. Wait for my signal. Take him out. He’ll have nauseous for a few hours, then he’ll be fine. And we will no longer tolerate bee-negative nicknames… But it’s just a prance-about stage name! …unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products and la-dee-da human tea-time snack garnishments. Oan’t breathe. Bring it in, boys! Hold it right there! Good. Tap it. Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups, and there’s gallons more coming! – I think we need to shut down! – Shut down? We’ve never shut down. Shut down honey production! Stop making honey! Turn your key, sir! What do we do now? Oannonball! We’re shutting honey production! Mission abort. Aborting pollination and nectar detail. Returning to base. Adam, you wouldn’t believe how much honey was out there. Oh, yeah? What’s going on? Where is everybody? – Are they out celebrating? – They’re home. They don’t know what to do. Laying out, sleeping in. I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket. At least we got our honey back. Sometimes I think, so what if humans liked our honey? Who wouldn’t? It’s the greatest thing in the world! I was excited to be part of making it. This was my new desk.

        • was my new job. I wanted to do it really well. And now… Now I can’t. I don’t understand why they’re not happy. I thought their lives would be better! They’re doing nothing. It’s amazing. Honey really changes people. You don’t have any idea what’s going on, do you? – What did you want to show me? – This. What happened here? That is not the half of it. Oh, no. Oh, my. They’re all wilting. Doesn’t look very good, does it? No. And whose fault do you think that is? You know, I’m gonna guess bees. Bees? Specifically, me. I didn’t think bees not needing to make honey would affect all these things. It’s notjust flowers. Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees. That’s our whole SAT test right there. Take away produce, that affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of course… The human species? So if there’s no more pollination, it could all just go south here, couldn’t it? I know this is also partly my fault. How about a suicide pact? How do we do it? – I’ll sting you, you step on me. – Thatjust kills you twice. Right, right. Listen, Barry… sorry, but I gotta get going. I had to open my mouth and talk. Vanessa? Vanessa? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? To the final Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. They’ve moved it to this weekend because all the flowers are dying. It’s the last chance I’ll ever have to see it. Vanessa, I just wanna say I’m sorry. I never meant it to turn out like this. I know. Me neither. Tournament of Roses. Roses can’t do sports. Wait a minute. Roses. Roses? Roses! Vanessa! Roses?! Barry? – Roses are flowers! – Yes, they are. Flowers, bees, pollen! I know. That’s why this is the last parade. Maybe not. Oould you ask him to slow down? Oould you slow down? Barry! OK, I made a huge mistake. This is a total disaster, all my fault. Yes, it kind of is. I’ve ruined the planet. I wanted to help you with the flower shop. I’ve made it worse. Actually, it’s completely closed down. I thought maybe you were remodeling. But I have another idea, and it’s greater than my previous ideas combined. I don’t want to hear it! All right, they have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know every bee, plant and flower bud in this park. All we gotta do is get what they’ve got back here with what we’ve got. – Bees. – Park. – Pollen! – Flowers. – Repollination! – Across the nation! Tournament of Roses, Pasadena, Oalifornia. They’ve got nothing but flowers, floats and cotton candy. Security will be tight. I have an idea. Vanessa Bloome, FTD. Official floral business. It’s real. Sorry, ma’am. Nice brooch. Thank you. It was a gift. Once inside, we just pick the right float. How about The Princess and the Pea? I could be the princess, and you could be the pea! Yes, I got it. – Where should I sit? – What are you? – I believe I’m the pea. – The pea? It goes under the mattresses. – Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart. – I’m getting the marshal. You do that! This whole parade is a fiasco! Let’s see what this baby’ll do. Hey, what are you doing?! Then all we do is blend in with traffic… …without arousing suspicion. Once at the airport, there’s no stopping us. Stop! Security. – You and your insect pack your float? – Yes. Has it been in your possession the entire time? Would you remove your shoes? – Remove your stinger. – It’s part of me. I know. Just having some fun. Enjoy your flight. Then if we’re lucky, we’ll have just enough pollen to do the job. Oan you believe how lucky we are? We have just enough pollen to do the job! I think this is gonna work. It’s got to work. Attention, passengers, this is Oaptain Scott. We have a bit of bad weather in New York. It looks like we’ll experience a couple hours delay. Barry, these are cut flowers with no water. They’ll never make it. I gotta get up there and talk to them. Be careful. Oan I get help with the Sky Mall magazine? I’d like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer. Oaptain, I’m in a real situation. – What’d you say, Hal? – Nothing. Bee! Don’t freak out! My entire species… What are you doing? – Wait a minute! I’m an attorney! – Who’s an attorney? Don’t move. Oh, Barry. Good afternoon, passengers. This is your captain. Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B please report to the cockpit? And please hurry! What happened here? There was a DustBuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded. One’s bald, one’s in a boat, they’re both unconscious! – Is that another bee joke? – No! No one’s flying the plane! This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. What’s your status? This is Vanessa Bloome. I’m a florist from New York. Where’s the pilot? He’s unconscious, and so is the copilot. Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience? As a matter of fact, there is. – Who’s that? – Barry Benson. From the honey trial?! Oh, great. Vanessa, this is nothing more than a big metal bee. It’s got giant wings, huge engines. I can’t fly a plane. – Why not? Isn’t John Travolta a pilot? – Yes. How hard could it be? Wait, Barry! We’re headed into some lightning. This is Bob Bumble. We have some late-breaking news from JFK Airport, where a suspenseful scene is developing. Barry Benson, fresh from his legal victory… That’s Barry! …is attempting to land a plane, loaded with people, flowers and an incapacitated flight crew. Flowers?! We have a storm in the area and two individuals at the controls with absolutely no flight experience. Just a minute. There’s a bee on that plane. I’m quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his no-account compadres. They’ve done enough damage. But isn’t he your only hope? Technically, a bee shouldn’t be able to fly at all. Their wings are too small… Haven’t we heard this a million times? “The surface area of the wings and body mass make no sense.” – Get this on the air! – Got it. – Stand by. – We’re going live. The way we work may be a mystery to you. Making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs. But let me tell you about a small job. If you do it well, it makes a big difference. More than we realized. To us, to everyone. That’s why I want to get bees back to working together. That’s the bee way! We’re not made of Jell-O. We get behind a fellow. – Black and yellow! – Hello! Left, right, down, hover. – Hover? – Forget hover. This isn’t so hard. Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Barry, what happened?! Wait, I think we were on autopilot the whole time. – That may have been helping me. – And now we’re not! So it turns out I cannot fly a plane. All of you, let’s get behind this fellow! Move it out! Move out! Our only chance is if I do what I’d do, you copy me with the wings of the plane! Don’t have to yell. I’m not yelling! We’re in a lot of trouble. It’s very hard to concentrate with that panicky tone in your voice! It’s not a tone. I’m panicking! I can’t do this! Vanessa, pull yourself together. You have to snap out of it! You snap out of it. You snap out of it. – You snap out of it! – You snap out of it! – You snap out of it! – You snap out of it! – You snap out of it! – You snap out of it! – Hold it! – Why? Oome on, it’s my turn. How is the plane flying? I don’t know. Hello? Benson, got any flowers for a happy occasion in there? The Pollen Jocks! They do get behind a fellow. – Black and yellow. – Hello. All right, let’s drop this tin can on the blacktop. Where? I can’t see anything. Oan you? No, nothing. It’s all cloudy. Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry. – Thinking bee. – Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Wait a minute. I think I’m feeling something. – What? – I don’t know. It’s strong, pulling me. Like a 27-million-year-old instinct. Bring the nose down. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! – What in the world is on the tarmac? – Get some lights on that! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! – Vanessa, aim for the flower. – OK. Out the engines. We’re going in on bee power. Ready, boys? Affirmative! Good. Good. Easy, now. That’s it. Land on that flower! Ready? Full reverse! Spin it around! – Not that flower! The other one! – Which one? – That flower. – I’m aiming at the flower! That’s a fat guy in a flowered shirt. I mean the giant pulsating flower made of millions of bees! Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up. Rotate around it. – This is insane, Barry! – This’s the only way I know how to fly. Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane flying in an insect-like pattern? Get your nose in there. Don’t be afraid. Smell it. Full reverse! Just drop it. Be a part of it. Aim for the center! Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman! Oome on, already. Barry, we did it! You taught me how to fly! – Yes. No high-five! – Right. Barry, it worked! Did you see the giant flower? What giant flower? Where? Of course I saw the flower! That was genius! – Thank you. – But we’re not done yet. Listen, everyone! This runway is covered with the last pollen from the last flowers available anywhere on Earth. That means this is our last chance. We’re the only ones who make honey, pollinate flowers and dress like this. If we’re gonna survive as a species, this is our moment! What do you say? Are we going to be bees, orjust Museum of Natural History keychains? We’re bees! Keychain! Then follow me! Except Keychain. Hold on, Barry. Here. You’ve earned this. Yeah! I’m a Pollen Jock! And it’s a perfect fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves. Oh, yeah. That’s our Barry. Mom! The bees are back! If anybody needs to make a call, now’s the time. I got a feeling we’ll be working late tonight! Here’s your change. Have a great afternoon! Oan I help who’s next? Would you like some honey with that? It is bee-approved. Don’t forget these. Milk, cream, cheese, it’s all me. And I don’t see a nickel! Sometimes I just feel like a piece of meat! I had no idea. Barry, I’m sorry. Have you got a moment? Would you excuse me? My mosquito associate will help you. Sorry I’m late. He’s a lawyer too? I was already a blood-sucking parasite. All I needed was a briefcase. Have a great afternoon! Barry, I just got this huge tulip order, and I can’t get them anywhere. No problem, Vannie. Just leave it to me. You’re a lifesaver, Barry. Oan I help who’s next? All right, scramble, jocks! It’s time to fly. Thank you, Barry! That bee is living my life! Let it go, Kenny. – When will this nightmare end?! – Let it all go. – Beautiful day to fly. – Sure is. Between you and me, I was dying to get out of that office. You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. – Thinking bee! – Me?

      – Torterra
      – Gastrodon

  73. Real talk though, if theres any pokemon that wasn’t retconned to fairy that I think really should have been its Chimecho and Chingling… should have become Psychic/Fairy

    Reply

  76. If you don’t factor in Sinnoh evolutions, Johto introduced 21 pokemon that don’t evolve and were mostly horrible until Gen 4. *cough* worst generation of pokemon *cough*

    Reply

  77. I just realized how lacking the DP dex was. For Flying, Electric, Fire, Dragon, and Grass, there was not even that many at all. Like for Flying, the only real good ones were Staraptor and Honchkrow, but that was it. And for Electric, you really had Luxray and Raichu.

    Despite it being a great region, some of the types lacked a lot of Pokemon, and in some cases any good ones.

    Reply

  78. Speaking of Johto, I always felt so bad for Houndour in Gen 2. You couldn’t even access a single one until Kanto, with Houndour being found at Route 7 at night. It was just probably forgotten by people who played through those games, and they weren’t even used at all on most teams. It’s a great Pokemon, but still it got the unfortunate end of the bargain in Gen 2.

    Fortunately, you could find it in the Safari Zone in HGSS though.

    • Don’t forget about Slugma.
      People (me included) didn’t even know that Slugma was a Gen II Pokémon because of how out of the way it was.

      Reply

    • Yea that really sucks. My friend got lucky and my brother traded him one before he beat the game. But I still think it was just a stupid move.

      Reply

    • An even more idiotic move towards Johto Pokemon:
      I believe with each new region the gym leaders and E4’s ace should be a new pokemon
      However in Johto, Faulkner Bugsy Morty Chuck ace were all kanto pokemon. Heck these 4 didnt even USE Johto pokemon. That’s so annoying.
      Faulkner= Noctowl
      Bugsy= Ledian/Ariados
      Morty= Misdreavus
      Chuck= Heracross/Hitmontop

      Reply

        • Really I think Chuck and to an extent Morty make sense
          Chuck is a big guy that trains with the waves (Poliwrath)
          Misdreavus doesnt really fit Morty
          Either way I think GF was trying to hide Gen 2 pokemon from us

          Reply

      • I know right? Sure, its because Johto is right next to Kanto, but you can’t shy away from the fact that not once did they even use one. They seemed like they were better off as Kanto Gym Leaders because they lacked any Johto Pokemon on their teams.

        Reply

  79. Question?
    For end game facilities like the BAttle Tower Remixes and the Frontier, NPC’s use sub-legendaries like Zapdos, Colbalion etc. Do you guys think in the region after Alola they will use the Tapus/UBs? Tapus/UBs seem to be pretty special to Alola, but they usually use them no matter what. Thoughts?

    Reply

    • I’m not sure, UBs I can see being used by people, but as for the Guardian Deities, not so much. I guess its just because it would be weird seeing someone controlling the protectors of Alola (even though we are able to catch them in SM).

            577 MSRP, but adding in a heap of shipping and sales tax you might be closer

          • Sounds about right. Really imagined I spent €800 for Switch at launch, but that was including a BotW Wii U and extra Joy-Cons I now recall.

        • most reviewers do not pay for the stuff that they review, even Jimmy Whetzel who doesnt even review games (I mean he has once or twice) has had nintendo send him free shit all the time

          Reply

      • Ehh kinda. You might get free stuff, but at the same time your expected to rush through games, never able to really enjoy them and often times have to limit yourself to about 10 hours in a game before you have to base your review on it, hence why reviews rarely ever talk about endings in games. Also due to that its very common that reviews become super burned out on games since they don’t have the time to play them, or a desire to play them really. Kinda like the Let’s play effect.

        Reply

          • Idk either but I’m assuming that is what happens when a YouTuber keeps making lots of let’s play about a game, they’ll eventually loose the desire to play it and leave the let’s play series about that game unfinished

          • Kind of. Its basically the issue that once you start playing games for a career(let’s play’s, streamers, ect), you kinda feel a lot more fatigue when playing games and lose the desire to play them on your own time. Kind of like if you had to play games for 8 hours straight for footage, and not have much of a desire to play more games after that. Its kind of a first world problem, but it is a noted issue among people. Generally the only way this is well avoided is if you can kind of combine the two. Like using an LP file as your main game in pokemon so you don’t play the game twice or the sort.

    • I was telling my friend exactly the same! That said, they earned already $300+ just with the video up until now, it’s not that they wouldn’t have the money to buy it otherwise.

    Mine has to be the PMD 2: Primal Dialga remix done by PokeRemixStudio. It was one of the first Pokemon remixes I ever really liked, and the melody is beautiful but is creating a tone of urgency. Another reason why I like it so much was I listened to it before I was about to compete in finals for a state championship to pump me up. In the end, I won barely.

    • Pretty fair all around. The only thing I personally hope is that the items are invinate/unbreakable(depending on the context) to kinda justify using the Amiibo more. Like what’s the point of say getting a good mid-game sword that you won’t be able to repair until the midgame, making it fairly useless as you don’t want to waste it early on. Its like Fire Emblems breakable weapons all over again.

      • I kinda do, but I don’t want to start getting tutored over PJ. xD

        I guess I’ll briefly describe it, why not. We’re doing similarity problems, and I thought we were also doing Pythagoren triples, but I was gone for a day and now I’m leagues behind.

        Reply

        • Are you trying to prove when two triangles are similar? (And I’m also guessing that similarity does not include when two triangles are congruent).
          Pyth triples are right triangles with integer side lengths satisfying a^2+b^2=c^2. Examples include 3,4,5 and 5,12,13

          Reply

          • I’m not necessarily trying to prove similarity anymore, I’m trying to use the ratios from the similar triangles to find side lengths. Except it’s too complicated for my small brain because I’m given like maybe two side lengths or angle measures and a weird figure and I have to go from there. It’s the same idea but it’s just really confusing.

            And maybe it’s not Pyth triples I was thinking of actually, apparently they’re called “semi famous triangles”.

          • Ok so here’s the super important thing about similar triangles: The side lengths and areas between triangles are proportional and the angles are equal.

            Recall the 3 similarity conjectures:
            AAA -> Given triangles abc and ABC, if angle a=angle A, and angle b = angle B, then abc and ABC are similar (by euclidean geometry you only need to check two b/c you’ll have that c=180-a-b)
            SAS -> Given triangles abc and ABC, if side ab = kAB, side ac=kAC, and angle a = angle A, then the two triangles are similar
            SSS -> Given triangles abc and ABC, if side ab=kAB, side ac=kAC, and side bc=kBC, then abc and ABC are similar.

            If you have two triangles that are similar by definition, then it follows that AAA, SAS, and SSS MUST hold. So if you’re given a ratio, you’ll need one of the side lengths to find another. AAA is pretty useless in doing things with sides and side ratios, of course.

            Do you have an example of the figures you’re given? Maybe all you need is someone else to decipher it for you and explain in layman’s terms.

        • Never in my life I had to apply the exact theory of similar triangles. Compared to the other stuff you learn in high school math, it’s one of the more useless stuff, and I say that as an engineer who actually has to use lots of math.

          • I’ve never had to either. Even in my proof based courses it’s never used. I suppose it’s intended purpose is to be used as a sandbox for teaching basic proof writing skills, but geometry classes usually don’t end up doing a good job with that

          • I guess it’s a setup for learning to quickly analyse triangular geometries and identities? Because those are really frequently used in solving lots of different problems.

    Chrome Entry: A young but eager Pokemon, Kittail have a strong spirit within, and won’t back away from a battle. It uses the spores on their tail to burst at the opponent, then strike with their claws.

    Evolution:
    Kittail -(Dawn Stone)-> ???
    Kittail -(Dusk Stone)-> ???

    (Based on a cat, especially the Bosques De Noruega kitten, and cat tails. It’s designed like this as a play on a cattail, with there being a literal “cat” and having a cattail on its “tail”.)

  196. So with all the switch previews coming out, it seems like we are getting some solid facts about it. The first one seeming to be that its comparable to the XB1 in power, which is both good and bad depending on your perspective. The other being that it doesn’t seem to handle screen glares well when used on the go making it almost impossible to play outside unless its fairly dark out already.

    Reply

      • Ehh, that’s understandable. Cartridges might have the potential to be both bigger and faster the blu-ray, but their not cheap to make by any means. 16 gb will be fine for most games, and even then I think they’ve stated that they have a 32 gb model in production as well. And even then they can always make an even bigger one if the game calls for it. That, and I see it as incentive to try to make games have a more efficient file size, which has been an issue with current gen consoles.

        Reply

          • I don’t know actually. I’m not familiar enough with coding to know what the effect would actually be. I would say that’s certainly a possibility, but again it could be something along the lines of compressing the code to make it fit and it’ll run fine. Heck it could be something as small as removing certain objects from the game(flowers, grass, ect) that didn’t serve a purpose other then just making the game look a little more alive. Really we’ll have to wait and see.

      • Same here. I have no plans of ever taking the switch outside, and I can’t imagine a lot of people actually doing so given its short battery life and the general fear that it’ll break easily. But its just one more thing to know really.

  202. So people are saying that undocked The Switch’s battery life run for nearly 3 hours tops and requires a solid 3 hours to recharge to maximum

    I’m just so jelly of everyone getting to fondle Switches right now while I haven’t even seen one in person yet

    Also that they’re even field testing how it fits in an average pocket, I only wear cargo pants and I carry around a iPad mini in my right cargo pocket every where I go so if I can holster a tablet I am confident that my left pocket can just barely hold it while it is in its case or I can hold the screen in there while I keep the joycons in the little mini pocket on the same cargo pocket where I hold a comb

    The biggest set back is the analog stick jutting out, but I’d have to be fairly stupid to carry a switch around a daily basis (does not apply to being at home)

      1. Console is slightly weaker then an XB1 at min.
      2. Portable screen sucks in daylight and generally has to be played in darker places
      3. Breath of the wild has about 2 and a half hours of battery life when pushed to the limits of the console.
      4. Shovelknight and not F-zero are coming at launch.
      5. Lots of debates if its a console that’s portable, or a hybrid.

      Reply

      • 1. That’s actually good news to me, there were a few rumors that it was only a little more powerful than the Wii U. Power doesn’t matter that much to me, but if it means that third parties might be more willing to give the Switch a try then I’m all for it. Plus you know graphics and stuff
        2. Kinda like the 3DS? Cause I thought that was pretty bad.
        3. About what I expected, not too much of a surprise.
        4. DOES THAT ALSO MEAN SPECTER KNIGHT
        5. That’s always been a hot topic for discussion, I guess. I can definitely see all sides of the argument, but I’m just hoping and praying that Nintendo sees it as a full hybrid and not just a portable console. A 3DS successor would be a disaster the way I see it. (and honestly? It’s a portable that can connect to the TV (which is awesome, mind you). Since there are no upgrades or such in the dock, the system itself is essentially a handheld).

        Follow up question: Any confirmation that titles we purchased on Wii U will be transferable? I want to know if I can get Shovel knight or not.

        Reply

        • 2. Kind of, but it generally seems like the 3DS handled it a little better since you could adjust the brightness enough, where it seems to be an issue with the switch.
          4. Yes, I think? I would double check. at least the first two are coming for certain.
          5. Ehh, I’m in the portable console camp myself and honestly with seeing its power I feel that its pretty much a death nail for it ever being a hybrid. It would be nice in theory to have your handheld and console in one device, but ignoring the pricing issue and how to handle peoples expectations, it simply comes down to an issue of dev costs for me. No matter how you want to look at it, the switch is a current gen console, and that’s going to require a triple A budget to develop games on, and like the Vita in 2011, handheld dev’s will love its power, but quickly realize that they simply can’t afford the high dev cost. Certainly some studios can afford to do it, but again it comes down to the issue of pricing games. Like can you really say that people won’t see a problem with a hand held pokemon game costing $60 USD, especially when Xenoblade Chronicle’s 2 cost the same and would be seen as a better value by many. And if they stuck with the $40 price for handhelds, not only would they have to sell a lot more copies just to break even, but they run the risk of people seeing their games as budget titles, setting themselves up to failure from the get go. It’s why I really hope that their going to push the switch hard this year, and come 2018 they do reveal a successor to the 3DS, making a point that the switch was designed to change CONSOLE gaming, and that this new device will be an attempt at shaking up handheld gaming, and maybe even working along side the switch in some way.

          Not to my knowledge yet.

          • I do see your logic here, but I have a very valid counter point.

            POKEMON ON THE TV WOULD BE AWESOME

          • What I mean is actually think about it. Pokemon is a game made for handhelds for a reason, one of them being their length and pacing. Most pokemon games can be beaten in about 20-30 hours. Their intended to be short RPG’s that can be enjoyed in short bursts or a long play session. Console rpg’s aren’t the same. Their intended to be longer and slower, requiring a lot more time to be dedicated to them. Pokemon in its current design isn’t really well suited to a console experience, and would need to be changed in order to meet the expectations of a console, which would piss off many fans.

            As well we can kind of see what the numbers are of a console Pokemon RPG with Colosseum(about 2.4 mil sold) and XD(1.4 mil sold). Granted those games weren’t the exact standards of a pokemon game, but they were games that reflected the needed changes to make pokemon more of a console game, and despite the promise of having pokemon in 3D and a mature story line, the game’s sold well enough to end in the black, but are a far cry from the sales expectations of the main series games.

            What I’m trying to say is that People have a vague idea of things that they thing they want or would like, but that’s not always the case. Being able to play Pokemon on a tv would be great, but at the same time it would probably be best if it was done through some cable connected to the 3DS or a future handheld, as it honestly would probably sell worse if it had to compete with Triple A rpg’s.

          • I see your logic, but there’s no way to say it’d sell worse if larger RPGs were on the market. The 3DS had a fair share of large scale RPGs yet Pokemon did phenomenal.

            Plus Pokemon is a huge system seller.

          • Yes and no. Did pokemon do well on the 3DS against other RPG’s? Yes. But on the other hand it competed largely against other handheld rppg’s that play by similar design choices, and one old wii rpg that was ok, but was better suited for a console experience. The issue with the Switch though is that it is a home console first and thus all games will be judged on a homeconsole standard with no real exceptions.

            As for pokemon being a system seller, yes and no. Main series pokemon does move units, but anything that’s a spinoff not so much. With in being on the switch; there is a very good chance of it being a spinoff game, and if it isn’t then it run’s the risk of people treating it like a spinoff game and being more likely to skip it.

            And that’s even ignoring the price issue of the switch being generally that of a home console meaning its a difficult system for people to buy, but younger people most of all, who are one of pokemon’s biggest target audiences. It might be seen as a bad move from GF’s perspective to put a game aimed for a younger audience on a more expensive system that’s mostly been marketed for a more mature demographic and isn’t exactly a child friendly portable.

          • it involved a Frog man and a Skunk in a Trash Can….and a third thing but i cannot remember

            point is even at a young age my Video Game soaked brain impacted nearly everything i did

          • i’ve been playing videoames since i was three years old
            they inspired me to learn how to read (Since i have unpleasant memories of me screaming for a parent to read me videogame dialogue)
            i was even able to beat my own father in Mario Kart 64
            and i drew or recreated nearly anything from a videogame in legos

  215. Well I did it I collected all Pokémon that will appear in my Fan-Region new and old (not including varients) it equals together to 373 in the region all together
    225-old
    148-new

    • Finish Zelda TP and play some Star Dew Valley. Hopefully going to finish the Town Hall quest. Then maybe I’ll play Zelda 1 and a Link to the Past. Then when April 17th rolls around I’m murdering my family and playing BotW

        • For real though, it’s going to be busy. I’m getting the system itself as a present then I’m going out shopping for the games and other accesories and stuff. All after school. Then I’m having Cookie Cake and stuff and maybe my older sister and/or brother will come over.

          Of course my birthday falls on Monday. I can’t just play Zelda for a month. I have to go through 8 hours of hell just to fight off my brother and go to heaven for a few hours and play the best game ever made

    • i have nearly everything down to the last detail,

      Now this plan branches into two courses
      if Pre-orders will be available at a midnight release or not
      i will go to the Best Buy i’m pre-ordering at and ask if they are doing a midnight release and even show them my pre-order number in a blind hope that they will assist me in my shopping experience

      I will go to the store two hours prior to the date of release weather it be midnight or store hours and still my little fat behind on a chair and wait there

      i shall buy the stuff and patiently wait for everything i ordered to be delivered….or at the very least micro SD card because i know that will be delivered early

      Move all my drinks and snacks to my room and even have my Wii U’s HDMI cable moved and ready to made…the switch to avoid unnecessary set-up and I will make my profile and set up my nintendo ID and hopefully it will go with no fuss,

      and i shall play Breath of the Wild and i will play it blind and make sure to not move for any bodily need including urination!

    • Maybe finish my moon Nuzlocke (I’m pretty far off though) before the third.

      Here’s my real plan (as of yet):
      I’m going to the midnight release, but the thing is I have the pro controller and game at GameStop while the console is Best Buy. So basically I’m going to either try to rush to GS after BB or my dad will go wait at GS while I get the console.

      Thing is idk how I feel about hanging out alone at midnight.

          • Oddly specific, but yeah

            the issue is that if I’m at the end of the line at BB, I’m not confident I can make it to GS in time. I’ll either have a game without a console or a console without a game. Or both but with danger of nipple stabbing.

            To be fair, they’re like two blocks apart, but I’m not really in the position to risk anything

          • well this is why preordering is king, you are entitled to a product and they have to honor it sooner or later…

            but yeah nipple stabbings are getting common by the day

          • I guess it won’t make too much of a difference either way. When I get home from the midnight release I’ll probably have to go to bed in like a half hour anyway, so I won’t be able to play anyway…

    • I really want those but I don’t have any money left after the loot I already payed for.

      Maybe I’ll try to scrape together enough for the archer link on the third, I want at least one.

  221. So I just noticed that there’s a cathedral in Hearthome city. I never really paid much attention to it before. But it’s kind of weird. I suppose I always knew people worshipped pokemon, but not in a building, I guess? I mean, I assume that’s what the building is for. It has pews and a big stained glass window on the inside. Probably some sort of chapel devoted to the Sinnoh legendaries. Such an interesting detail.

  222. Guys another question should I just choose Pokémon for the second Gym cause that’s Reece’s Gym and he is very Seldom here so should I do it or no?

  223. ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my boredom is becoming far too much
    tomorrow i’m going to Connecticut to see my Aunt, do some housework for her in exchange for cash and a nice dinner out and later hitting this casino with my Mother, maybe i’ll get lucky and win enough to pay off all my switch expenses….or develop a inhumane gambling addiction and pawn things to fuel it
    anyway it’ll be nice to get away for 2 days and burn time for the switch…
    Switch switch SwitchitySwitchity Switch Switch Switch Switch.

  232. Something I just noticed about some Gen 7 mons is that not only do they have very low speed, but also when one of their previous stages evolve into their final evolution, there exists a speed drop. For example: Incineroar, Toucannon, Vikavolt, Wishiwashi (in form change), Crabominable, and Golisopod all have a drop off in speed compared to their previous evolutions.

    Suggestions? granted this team is purely for fun and my obvious lack of special sweepers are surely to be a downfall
