for all who dont know game theory let me explain how it started out

this was first a show about bringing science to gaming, like how much mc diamond armor would cost. and theories about games, like the companion cube of portal being filled with dead corpes.

it was fun to watch the videos, but now they've turned on there heads and became very scetchy, far-fetched (farfech'd), ignorant about cultual differences, and even flat out WRONG!

there latest two videos about mario being a mentle maniac who loves to murder everything and everyone, before that he did an episode saying "every videogame lines up together and tells us the future" and at the end of the video they talk about how aliens with come to earth in 1,000,00 years to steal all our cats! not a joke!

in all honesty they piss me off now-a-days. most of the research are from non-canon games and some weird science bit that has little to do with anything. don't believe me? watch one of there latest episodes and ask me to disprove the theory they state. not joking, i want you to!  

they also act non-scientific in the pokemon- pidgy evolution episode using little evedence to suport there theory and EXCLUDING evedence from non-games (something they do in allot of other episodes) such as not using the pokemon anime even though it's considered canon to the games.

i could ramble on,but i'd much rather disprove stuff by you guys asking me what episode to disprove, please comment!
comment to see what theory of there's is wrong (dont say the pyro one cause i already did that)

Um, just want to get this out there - the Pokemon anime is not canon to the games. If they were canon, we would have two versions of Red named and looking pretty differently from the same household wandering around; same goes for May, Dawn, Cheren, Bianca and Serena. And speaking of Serena, that would mean that there would be a 12-year old Serena and a 15+ year old Serena living in the same house with the same mother but who each came to Kalos at different times - how is that even possible? It is even impossible for the aforementioned Cheren and Bianca to be one and the same, seeing how the former appears only as the B2W2 Gym Leader, while Bianca... is still in her younger, pre-timeskip appearance. On the Pokemon side of things, starters cannot be caught in the wild, it is impossible for a Lv. 100 Pikachu to be defeated by a Lv. 5 Snivy, type matchups cannot be thrown out the window just because of plot or drama, Pokemon can't learn TM/HM moves naturally, and in the anime move effectiveness and Pokemon strength is all over the place (i.e. an unevolved Pokemon defeating a fully-evolved one - even if the former is at a higher level, the fully-evolved one will still have the upper edge). The canons obviously operate on different logic, as a Pokemon fan, I just wanted to make things clear.
That being said, I do see your points. While I do like Game Theory, I admit I mainly like it to learn trivia and random knowledge more than anything, maybe with the occasional headcanon forming from them. However, the Mario is Mental theory was going a bit too far - both it and the Sonic theory were disproven wonderfully by two other guys on YouTube (Sonic one by Gnoggin, I think the former was disproven by Dfawfulizer... or whatever he was called). Seriously, calling one of Gaming's biggest heroes a sociopath? Using nothing but outdated, misinterpreted information? I could come up with a rebuttal for every single one of his points. I absolutely despise character derailment, or "darkifying" franchises for no reason, so yeah, it did get on my nerves - not as much as the Pokemon video on animal cruelty, however. Pokemon as animal cruelty? Does anyone need to do scientific research and go in depth to tell people that? That's how many would take it at face value, and is a point that has been repeated so much beforehand that I'm tired of it. This point has also been rebutted many times by two YouTube videos and multiple anti-Peta posts. And gosh darn it, why did he have to ride the obscure Smasher bashing bandwagon?! I was hoping for a Kid Icarus or Fire Emblem theory, but it looks like he's another one of those "MURICA!!!" fans. Ugh. And really, what is wrong with yarn-bombing anyway?!
