The line that made me click off though, " I have a weakness to fairy type. So im going to pick up Hisuien Arcanine. " lol what. If you tera'd into steel then okay. But I didn't stick around to see if thats what you were going for. Good luck.

    You’re underrated! There are a bunch of new vgc content creators coming up that are primarily showcasing others’ rental teams and they know how to play them but probably couldn’t explain why the team works. You’ve got years of experience and a more fundamental understanding of team building and compositions that only come with experience.

    • @patrickmohr6985
      @patrickmohr6985 7 місяців тому

      I only started caring about vgc this generation and found your channel recently. While watching other teams may be fun, I learn more from your videos. Hearing your predictions which are usually correct helps me to make the same calls and get good at the game. That’s the real value beyond just entertainment.

    • @patrickmohr6985
      @patrickmohr6985 7 місяців тому +1

      Suggestions for channel growth:
      1) collaborations with other channels for exposure. An outside the box example, chimpact’s Pokémon Jeopardy series
      2) hopefully win at tourneys because that’s exposure in itself. Winning teams automatically attract interest.
      3) might be worth considering branching out in content
      4) getting more involved on other socials like twitter. jeudy, ugarte, moxie, etc are all super active there and it builds name recognition.

    • @patrickmohr6985
      @patrickmohr6985 7 місяців тому

      btw I just want to try to return the favor. I feel in your debt and want to help brainstorm ways to keep the channel growing!

    • @THATSAplusONE
      @THATSAplusONE  7 місяців тому

      Ill give a brief overview for my thoughts on these.
      1) I dont really collab well with others. Forcing myself to be social when thats really not my vibe feels fake and I dont want to fake anything. Also I dont really watch like ANY Pokemon content so I wouldnt want to collab with somebody to boost views who I personally dont watch myself.
      2) I won a PC last week! Hopefully I do well in San Antonio!
      3) Branching out doesnt really work well on YT unless you are already big imo. For all my other hobbies I have channels made specifically for them like Music, Cards, Skateboarding, Digimon, etc
      4) Social media in general feels extremely cliquey and back to option 1. kinda fake to me. (Not that THEY are being fake, more so that it just goes against how I normally carry myself so id be being fake to REALLY dive into it) If I vibe with somebody I can spend time with that person 1 on 1 and not just interact with them specifically for everyone online to see.
      At the end of the day I want to make the content that makes me happy and have it appreciated by the people that enjoy it. I dont really care about numbers or money and honestly im not about to "sell out" to "make it" Hopefully that answered any questions. Again thanks for the support!

    Hey thatsa, thought I'd leave a comment. When you were describing what you wanted i was trying to guess what it would be. Beating Lando, Heatran, Urshi, Torn, I was thinking bramble ghast as an option. Then when you were talking about who would pair well with chien pao to resist fairy and hit with strong priority i was going to guess scizor.

    I enjoy your videos. I used your video on Garchomp to help me build my first competitive team and since i continue to use the team building principles that you taught when i build new teams or help other friends build their teams. My only question is, do you only build these teams with doubles in mind? My group of friends do about 3-4 tournaments a years, but its always singles with teams of 6. I would love to watch you build a teams that is only meant for singles.
