Ryan's Reviews

Episode 2: "Pokémon Re-enacted by Ponies" by jjkmovies

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of "Ryan's Reviews!" I'm your host, Ryan the Lucario! And joining me, my human brother, Jordan, and my best friend, Dragon the Charizard, is a good friend of ours that I met in the Pokémon Universe. He's young; he's noble; he's brave; he's a Sword of Justice; and he reviews when he's not training with the other Swords of Justice! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, DUDES AND DUDETTES, please welcome… KELDEO THE CRITIC!

(A door in Jordan's bedroom opens up, and Keldeo jumps into the room and shuts the door behind him.)

(One at a time, Keldeo greets Dragon and Jordan, and then Ryan.)

How's it going, Keldeo?

(Keldeo the Critic): "Great, Ryan! It's awesome to see you again! And I'm happy that the review we did on that Summer story had a lasting effect on you!"

Thanks, Keldeo! So anyways, Keldeo is here not only to show him our new show, but also because we-including Keldeo-are going to review "Pokémon Re-Enacted by Ponies."

(Keldeo the Critic): (eagerly) "Ponies, as in My Little Pony?"

(Ryan sighed.)

Yes, and so one of the reasons that Keldeo is here is because NONE of us are bronies like Keldeo and Matthias123 are, and we don't know ANYTHING about the show.

(Jordan steps in.)

(Jordan): "So, when we saw jjkmovies's "Pokémon Re-Enacted by Ponies," we thought about Keldeo and Matthias as we watched it."

And so, Keldeo is gonna help us out with this.

(Keldeo the Critic): "And who knows? Maybe I'll be able to convert all three of you to bronies."

(Dragon): "NO! That is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!"

Sorry, Keldeo. Dragon is a little too secure with his masculinity. So, anyways, let's take a look at "Pokémon Re-Enacted by Ponies."

(Keldeo the Critic): "Okay, before we start this, lets agree to not mentions certain fan made comic series by CSImadmax... Let's just... Not mention those comics... Yeah…"

(Jordan): "O…-kay…"

Narrator: As our heroes continue their journey to the Ponymon League, one trainer stands in their way.

(Keldeo the Critic): "I'm surprised Spike the Dragon wasn't the narrator.…"

Okay. So, here we have three ponies who are dressed up like Ash, Misty, and Brock from the First Generation Anime.

(Jordan): "Uh, who's that light blue Pegasus that is dressed up like Ash?"

(Keldeo the Critic): "That's Rainbow Dash."

(Dragon): "Heh heh… That rhymes."

(Keldeo the Critic): "Okay, so it's Applejack vs. Rainbow Dash. It's obvious who's who unless you're color blind... Oh… wait, you're a dog, Ryan… can you…"

I can see color just fine, thanks.

Rainbow Dash: I'm gonna win this battle! You don't stand a chance!

Applejack: There ain't no way you can beat me! I have the best Ponymon ever!

(Jordan): "I see what they did there."

We can all see it. So, Applejack sends out a little orange Pegasus, with apparently PURPLE hair.

(Keldeo the Critic): "That's Scootaloo, a Pegasus that can't fly."

(Dragon): "A Pegasus that can't fly… Gee, Ryan, I wonder where we've seen THAT before!"

Anthony: Alright, Charizard, get us the [heck] outta here! Use Fly!

(Text box at the bottom of the screen says "CHARIZARD cannot learn FLY.")

Anthony: But…! He has WINGS! It's not like I'm trying to teach it to a freakin' monkey!

Pokedex: MANKEY.

(Keldeo the Critic): "Did you guys REALLY have to bring in that moment from that Smosh video you reviewed last time?"

Yes. We did.

(Keldeo the Critic): (firmly) "Guys, I understand that you don't know this, but Scootaloo can't fly because she's a filly."

Wait, is that like a word for a baby horse?

(Keldeo the Critic): "Yes!"

Okay, sorry.

So anyways, as Ash, Rainbow Dash – Hah! That does rhyme! – scans her with her Pokedex-or in this case, Ponydex.

Ponydex: Doduo. The flightless bird Ponymon.

(Keldeo the Critic): "Huh, so were going the dodo route. Most people call her a chicken, so that's different."

(Jordan): "That doesn't sound very nice."

So, apparently, we get the appearance of a yellow baby horse—

(Keldeo the Critic): "Filly. And her name is Applebloom."

Well, anyways, this filly plays the role of Pikachu. And she actually has a tail similar to Pikachu's.

Rainbow Dash: Ha! This will be easy! Go Pikabloom! Use Thunder Attack!

Pikabloom: Piiiika-BLOOOM! (Pikabloom zaps Doduo.)

(Keldeo the Critic): "Scootaloo and Applebloom have fought before in the show, but what's weird here is that Applebloom is Applejack's sister, and Scootaloo is Rainbow's number one fan. Actually, things are kinda reversed here. Shouldn't Scootaloo be fighting for her role model and Applebloom be fighting for her big sister?"

You know what, that actually does make a little more sense.

Moving on!

Brock: It's super-effective!

Misty: Huh? What do you mean?

Brock: Well, you see, Misty Pie, even though Doduo can't fly, she's still a flying-type Ponymon, which means she's weak against Electric attacks.

(Keldeo the Critic): "Wow! They're making this accurate. But shouldn't Spike the Dragon be the referee?"

(Jordan): "Maybe, but, dude, as far as I've observed from the anime, not ALL Pokémon battles have referees. Heck, there aren't even referees in battles in the games."

Okay, so, as Applejack retreats Doduo to her Pokéball—wait it should it be PONY-ball? Never mind! So, she pulls out a Great Ball!

Applejack: Go! Ponyta!

(Applejack brings out Twilight Sparkle.)

Twilight: Ponyta!

(Keldeo the Critic): (starting to get excited) "OH BOY! I know what they're gonna do here!"

What are they gonna do here?

(Keldeo the Critic): "You'll see!"

Okay, so moving on, Ponyta soon KO's Pikabloom with a Fire Blast Attack.

(Ponyta starts to glow.)

Applejack: Whoa! Ponyta's evolving!

(Keldeo the Critic): "Here it comes!"

Yeah, so what happens is that while Ponyta is glowing, her hair is replaced with FIRE! Even Misty and Brock are in shock! And then, the evolution is complete!

Twilight: Rapidash!

(Keldeo the Critic): "YES! They did it! I knew they would!"

(Keldeo trots around with excitement.)

You seem pretty excited, Keldeo! Does this scene remind you of something?

(Keldeo the Critic): "Twilight actually does this in the show! I mean it! In "Feeling Pinkie Keen" Twilight gets so mad that she turns into a Rapidash! Seriously! And that episode has so much slapstick and humor, it's just so funny! You've got to see it! You'll laugh all the way through it! It's just so…"

(Dragon): "NOOO! NO! NO! NO! NO-NO-NO!"

(Jordan): "DRAGON, TAKE IT EASY!" (Jordan gets Dragon to calm down.) "It's okay."

(Keldeo the Critic): "Sorry, sorry, okay, back to the video."

Hey, it's not your fault. We all get carried away from time-to-time.

(Keldeo the Critic): "Thanks, Ryan."

(Jordan): "Dragon, is there something you would like to tell Keldeo?"

(Dragon sighs.)

(Dragon): "Yeah…. I'm sorry, Keldeo, for over-reacting like that."

"It's okay, Dragon, I forgive you."

Alright, now that we're all cool here, let's get back to the video.

So, after Pikabloom faints, Rainbow Dash calls out a Sudowoodo from an ULTRA Ball. I like how they are referencing other types of Pokéballs. I wonder what awesome Ponymon will come out of a Master Ball!

So, apparently, Sudowoodo is a yellow Pegasus with Pink hair and is dressed up like a… tree?

(Keldeo the Critic): "Yeah, Fluttershy's a tree… wow… (with sarcasm) like that hasn't been done to death. It was funnier in "Hurricane Flutteshy", where she's just disguised as a tree and just pops out."

(Jordan): "I think I can see why she's called Fluttershy."

Fluttershy: Uh… Sudo… woodo?

Applejack: Hah! You've gotta be kidding me. That puny little plant ain't no match for my Fire-type Ponymon!

Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah? Bring it on!

And so, Applejack "brings it on" by having Rapidash attack Sudowoodo with another Fire Blast attack. But wait! Sudowoodo's still standing…on…all fours.

Applejack: What! Why in the hay didn't it work?

Rainbow Dash: Sudowoodo might look like a plant, but she's actually Rock-type!

Applejack: What?! No way!

Yes way!

(Keldeo the Critic): "Again, extremely actuate! I'm impressed."

Rainbow Dash: Sudowoodo! Use Rock Slide!

Fluttershy: Soodo woodo!

(Rocks fall on-top of Rapidash, KO'ing her.)

(Keldeo the Critic): "Oh my gosh, the weakest character in the show just beat up the most powerful character in the show! But they kinda missed and opportunity. In the show, Fluttershy knows a special Stare that can make the victim obey her through intimidation. That's pretty much Leer or Mean Look. They should have put that in this."

And so, after celebrating Rainbow Dash's victory,… Uh-oh! Look at which two villainous goofballs show up.

Trixie: Prepare for trouble!

Rarity: Make it double!

Rainbow Dash: Oh no! It's Team Rocket!

Yes! Team Rocket, once again! I know that this is a parody to the original series, but seriously, it's like they NEVER LEARN THEIR LESSON! They show up, say their motto, try to catch Pikachu, get electrocuted and sent into the atmosphere, the end. I mean, maybe a story arc would be okay, or maybe even one season… BUT AN ENTIRE SERIES?! When are Jessie and James ever gonna DIE?! HOW DO THEY EVEN SURVIVE THOSE BLAST-OFF'S WHEN THEY LAND!

(Jordan): "Ryan, can we please with the video, please?"

Oh, yeah, sure… Sorry about that.

So, Team Rocket decides to steal Sudowoodo, hoping that the boss will give them a raise.

FINALLY! A LOGICAL MOTIVE!

And so, James, played by Rarity pulls out a Master Ball! SO WHAT PONYMON are we gonna see? A dragonite?! A Legendary Beast?! A Mewtwo?!

Rarity: Go! Magikarp!

(Derpy Hooves appears in front of Soodowoodo.)

Derpy: Karp! Karp! Magikarp!

(Ryan and Jordan stare in disbelief.)

(Jordan): "Wait a second! Let me get this straight: they used a master ball to catch a Magikarp!"

Thor: Sayeth WHAAAAAAAT?! Why woudst thou do this?

Yes, Jordan, that just happened.

(Jordan): "Okay, that's one of the dumbest things any Pokémon Trainer would do."

Agreed.

So, Jessie, played by Trixie, decides to stick with the "original plan." Lemme guess: some sort of weird contraption.

Trixie: Meowth, hit the switch.

(Opal the cat hits the switch. From underneath the hot-air balloon, a contraption shoots a net that snatches Sudowoodo. The hot-air then starts to go back up into the sky.)

Rainbow Dash: Sudowoodo! Use Explosion!

Fluttershy: Suuuuudo… WOOOODOOO!

(Sudowoodo causes a rainbow-colored explosion.)

Trixie and Rarity: TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

*Ding!*

And this time, LEARN YOUR LESSON AND NEVER COME BACK!

(Keldeo the Critic): "…Wow… that failed…"

(Jordan): "What do you mean, Keldeo?"

(Keldeo the Critic): "First of all, Great and Powerful Trixie was a villain and makes a good Jessie, and Rarity has James hair, but Rarity's a girl, so you wouldn't call her James, you'd call her Jamie or something.

"Second, I know Rarity's pet cat couldn't talk in the show, but this is a parody of Pokemon, so Opal should have been able to talk. She should have at least said "That's right" in subtitles.

"Thirdly: Derpy Hooves as Magikarp. Derpy was an animation error with derped eyes. The fans saw it and loved her. There is tons of fan-work about her obsession with muffins. Comics, radio shows, fan animation, Derpy is HUGE! So why is she given the form of one of the weakest pokemon ever? You know who Rarity should have sent out? Spike the Dargon. In the show, Spike has a crush on Rarity, so it would make sense for him to be in her pocket."

"Fourth, there's a line in 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' where Pinkie wonders if you can explode twice. Why didn't she comment about it? Flutteshy exploded, Pinkie's right there, why didn't she say the meme? And that rainbow explosion didn't fit either. Dash makes 'Sonic Rainbooms' as they're called, when she flies so fast that she breaks the sound barrier. It seemed overkill to have Fluttershy make one.

"And finally, they didn't do the whole motto? They could've had them do poses and stand in front of the R and everything. The motto is always the best part if the show, so why is it cut here?"

I don't know, but I think their first lines, when they came it, kinda count.

So, to save Sudowoodo from falling to her death, Rainbow Dash recalls her to her Ultra Ball.

Applejack: Whoa! That was mighty impressive. You're a better Ponymon trainer than I thought. What's your name?

Rainbow Dash: I'm Dash. Dash Ketchum!

(Keldeo the Critic): "Yeah, Dash Ketchum, we all saw that coming."

And we saw what they did there.

(Keldeo the Critic): "Well, this video was a fun parody; it really was accurate to the show. However, the casting for some of the parts seemed off. Either the trainers or the Ponymon should have been switched. And Team Rocket was kind of a letdown. Also, I really wish Spike was in this. i mean, he looks like a purple Axew! The voice acting, however, was incredible. It sounded just like the cartoon. And it was a parody, so I shouldn't get too upset if things aren't perfect."

I could say the same thing, too. I mean, the animation was good, and I have to agree that it did live up to the title, even if Team Rocket was in it….

(Jordan): "So, little bro, what are we gonna rate this on a scale from 1 to 10?"

Well, this decent Pokémon parody definitely deserves a….

(Drum roll)

9/10!

(Keldeo the Critic): "Well, that was fun. So after watching these characters do their thing and everything I said about the show, are you gonna give Friendship is Magic a chance?"

You know what? I can't believe that I'm actually gonna say this, but… maybe we should give it a chance.

(Dragon): "I can't believe you just said that either!"

(Jordan): "Come on, Dragon, Ryan's right. Maybe we should give it a chance. I mean, Keldeo came all the way from another universe to review this with us. And Keldeo and Matthias have taken an interest most of our stuff, like Star Wars, and our current Lego movies that we have on YouTube. We should do the same. In fact, what IS so bad about being a brony, anyway? Their just bros who love the show! And besides, what is so girly about friendship and love? Isn't that what God wants us to do, to love one another?"

(Ryan puts his left paw on Dragon's right shoulder.)

C'mon, buddy. What do you say?

(Dragon sighed, but then smiled lightly.)

(Dragon): "Alright, we'll give it a chance."

(Jordan): Well, I guess you better head on home. But before you do, Keldeo, there's someone we would like for you to meet!"

(Keldeo the Critic): "Really? Who?"

(Jordan): "Wait and see. (Jordan calls out towards the bedroom door.) Okay, Arty, you can come in!"

(The bedroom door opens up, revealing another Keldeo, who walks into the room. Both Keldeos gasp in surprise.)

Keldeo the Critic, this is our new friend and family member, ARTY the Keldeo! Arty, this is Keldeo the Critic!

(Arty and Keldeo): "Whoa..."

(Arty): "I feel like I'm looking in a mirror..."

(Keldeo the Critic smirked and transformed into his Resolute Form.)

(Keldeo): "Still feel that way now?"

(Arty beams in awe): Wow! How did you do that?

(Keldeo): "You'll figure it out some day! So, how did you and Jordan meet?"

(Jordan): "It's a long story, and it's gonna be in the SECOND episode of our Lego Pokemon video series that'll be coming out on YouTube in 2014!"

(Keldeo): "Really? That'll be awesome!"

Hey, Keldeo, when our two Lego videos are out, can you please review them on your show?

(Keldeo): "Sure, Ryan! And good luck with it, you guys! I'm gonna go watch Lord of the Rings Reenacted By Ponies. Bye!"

(Ryan, Dragon, Jordan, and Arty say goodbye.)

Well, this was certainly a great episode. I'm Ryan the Lucario, and this has been "Ryan's Reviews"!

So, yeah, I'm officially declaring myself a brony. But like my avatar said in the review, it's okay to do so. At first, I was planning on having Ryan say that jjkmovies' would be the closest thing to watching MLP:FiM, but then I started to think to myself that maybe I should give it a chance, and I have! So, please keep an open-mind. (I will admit though, that's for even me to do.)

Anyways, thank you very much for Reading. Please Favorite, Follow, and Review.

God Bless!
