    I just want to give you props on something I enjoy seeing. Nobody talks about how you fade the colors of the topic pokemon perfectly in every thumbnail, so I'll do for them. Great design for the thumbnails. Simple, yet beautiful. Keep up the good work!

    Funny thing is that I went with Raikou to the VGC Worlds this year. I even appeared on stream on Round 3. Used him from february as I needed an electric Pokémon able to deal with Charizard Y and Tapu Fini, so fun and unexpected to use with Electrium Z, and taking advantage of Tapu Koko's Electric Terrain many times. Also, Snarl is really really useful, that set helped me to win a MSS and make several top cuts. It's really fun to use :D

      @59hawks 6 років тому +3

      False Swipe Gaming if its how much time you need to dedicate to a pokemon what if you just made it into a side series? this would let you dedicate enough time to each pokemon that you are talking about. while not making it a 30+ video since you don't need to include 70ish pokemon in one video.
      You could also decide what pokemon you talk about at a time. Big changes for a pokemon? put other pokemon who haven't really changed much in gen 7 in the video and end with the the pokemon who had the most changes in usage.
      Edit: also thank you for making these videos They are always a treat to watch, and they satisfys my curiosity about the pokemon in question.

To this day, Pidgeot waits for that boy, who has never come back for him, although the boy has gone home to visit his mom several times...

      Super Luck + Razor Claw + Night Slash, Shadow Claw, or Psycho Cut will always crit in gen 6.
      Also using Mega Absol as a lead when you have another pokemon on your team commonly used as a lead and when you have another possible mega on your team will often have your opponent try to use the opportunity to set-up hazards on you. Then you mega evolve and swords dance, bouncing their hazards back and having set-up and you can sometimes weaken or take out a few mons before getting koed.

    Let’s be practical and ask a few questions relevant to gen 7 OU.
    1. Why use Suicune when Tapu Fini exists?
    A: Suicune has better physical bulk, better speed control, and of course, CroCune.
    2. Why use Entei when Mega Charizard X exists?
    A: Entei has more HP, access to both Sacred Fire and Will-O-Wisp, wider coverage moves, and doesn’t take up a Mega slot.
    3. Why use Raikou when Tapu Koko exists?
    A: You don’t.

      Tapu fini gets iron defence and prevents status with it's terrain tho and entei and mega charizard X aren't really even comparable besides both being fire types while arcanine is lot more comparable to it.

    • @h0m3st4r

      Fair enough for Tapu Fini, but Entei has an oddly specific niche in OU that nothing short of Ho-oh can do, whereas anything Arcanine can do, something else in OU can do better.

    Y'know, you mention in your more recent videos a lot of pokemon as checks/counters/measuring sticks that you've already covered. On a lark, I decided to watch one of your older videos, the one on Gengar from well over a year ago. I must say your production value has increased dramatically over that time. The videos you currently release are longer, higher quality, and go more in-depth. In that vein I have 2 requests:
    1) How good was Ludicolo
    2) Any chance some of the older videos get a re-make to bring them up to the current standard of excellence? Specifically the Gengar video, which I feel I'd like to hear more about.
    Either way, thanks for the work you do and keep truckin!

    Entei is my favorite legendary dog so I'm going to be sad to be reminded how bad he actually is. In his day he could've been a solid OU pick even with the overall weakness of mono fire type just by virtue of his solid stat spread - mixed attacking stats along with good bulk worked out really well in GSC since you didn't have to pick what stats to invest in or sacrifice anything for a boosting nature - if only he hadn't been cursed with such a terrible movepool. By the time the generations passed by and gave him some more useful moves the powercreep had already made his high stat total irrelevant with the number of ridiculous threats in the metagame, and mixed attacking stats are just much harder to work with since the reworked EV system and the addition of natures.
