BKC is actually directing his own Independent movie! Check out the trailer here: ua-cam.com/video/7PFRks_grOU/v-deo.html BKC's Channel - www.youtube.com/@BKCplaysPokemon/videos Jim's Mugs - jimothycool.com/
back in my day when all we had was Red and Blue, we still had online battle simulators. we would use IRC and a perl script and it was completely text based. so battling with pokemon online actually started way before you mention
Internet Relay Chat bots existed even before Net Battle, before Ruby and Sapphire, during the GSC days and early ADV. I think a lot of that history has been lost to time, but battles used to be entirely text based. There was no gui. There was no team builder. You had to type in your Effort Values and everything else by hand with the right syntax. It was beautiful.
My poketuber rabbit hole has become full circle wormhole. Started to know competitive from PokeAim, then False Swipe Gaming being recommended. FSG published his writer, BKC, then down to more rabbit holes until finding Jimothy Cool, and then the inevitable "i have great preferance of ADV OU", looping back to BKC. Crazy 3 years journey that has been
Man, i've been watching BKC for years. I know he is crazy good but seeing him actually play is crazy. Such a good player. Also I love his movie-themed barely sensical rants
I remember playing competitive battles on MIIRC chat servers in 8th grade on the school computers before Netbattle existed. It was entirely text based, no health bars or sprites or anything like that, and it was wild.
Very interesting to see the different approach to revealing information between you and mister chicken. You're freely switching in and revealing most of your team early on in the battle while mister chicken has half of his team unrevealed for most of the battle. The 'hidden last' aspect of old gen players is a very cool dynamic that newer gen players don't fully utilise.
I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned but BKC is also the writer for false swipe gaming! You know, all those vids asking **how good is (insert pokemon here) ACTUALLY**
Really fun video and great concept! Feels like it could be a series. Maybe it could have been edited in a way that makes the battles easier to follow, sometimes I didn't know what had happened until I read the battle log on the side.
Competitive pokemon singles has been around for a very long time. Online competitive battle simulators have existed since even the release of pokemon emerald.
Shame you didn’t bring home the W But 2-3 against one of THE TITANS of competitive Pokémon certainly isn’t something to just turn your nose out Greats plays, some good and bad rng on both sides but truly awesome I would love if you were able to do some more collabs with not just BKC but any of the other poketubers And it doesn’t have to be battling, it could be spitballing about what you felt about Gen 9, how do you think Gen 10 will be and should Clef get banned?
Fun af video. You're so charming, feels like I could enjoy a video of you talking through your potted plant collection. Spoilers . . . . . You made some nice plays, winning DPP vs. BKC is really impressive! Loved the GSC match too, it's becoming one of my favourite tiers and I agree that your match showed it off well.
I was among the people who downloaded and messed around with Netbattle back before they implemented Gen 3 into the system. I was never good, I was always terrible at competitive pokemon, but seeing that program is a crazy nostalgia trip for me, lol.
I was so hoping bkc would counter a second time when you went with alakazam t wave in round 5. Gen 1 counter is very funny, using the last damage recieved regardless of turn, so long as it's from a normal or fighting move.
Hello, Ryan Golem. Sunny day-rest talk moltres is easily one of my favorite sets. It is super spicy, and it i love running it on a sunny day team with Houndoom and Entei.
Huge advocate for Gen 3 OU in the past. Jimothy is so cool for being so humble as he single handedly makes Gen 3 the most played old Gen in all of Smogon.
The fact that gen 4&5 is considered an old gen is making me feel old already i guess that means gen 6 is on the chopping block of being an old gen soon.
It was cool seeing the first 5 gens all being played, though one thing I didn't realise was that Latias was allowed in Gen 4 OU again, I know from FSG vids that it was tested at one point in time, then banned as was Salamence
You know how Wolfeys worst generation was gen 7. My two worst generations were gen 8 due to zacian and other legendary Pokémon due to them being incredibly overpowered. and gen 2 because there is a lot of stalling in that generation. Typically it would take me and my opponent 40 turns to finish a gen 2 match.
@@tecul1 I have I played Pokémon sword and shield competively did not do well in that game, I have played scarlet and violet competively with more success making it to master ball tier more than once, and I play Pokémon showdown both build my teams and play random more than building teams and before all of those games I have played Pokémon go in the past.

Can you provide the paste you used throughout the battles
I feel endless shame for using The Unviable One. At least Hariyama de Armas showed her excellence...
also cracked up at "gen 2 is the barry lyndon of pokemon metagames"
Well played! These were some super cool matches to watch, and I felt like I learned from them!
I don't know if you recorded it, but it would be cool if you uploaded your side of the matches
I can't believe famed director BKC is also good at Pokemon. This is insane.
"It's hard to justify 3 flying types on a team like that" runs skarmory, articuno and moltres
Skarm is just built different
@@Jasmine11112 skarm is only a flying type when he feels like it
@@greenuvlight he is a roost type pokemon
its a superman team isnt flying the point
not weak to rock
Greatest crossover ever. This is indeed extremely sane
back in my day when all we had was Red and Blue, we still had online battle simulators. we would use IRC and a perl script and it was completely text based. so battling with pokemon online actually started way before you mention
I do not say this lightly in this comment section, but this is insane, would love to know more about this
I'm curious how accurate they would've been given all of gen 1's weird mechanics/bugs.
Based.
based on what? @@CheckUnderYou

never thought i would see the borderlands guy in a video about competitive Pokémon
You're still around?? I used to watch your borderlands videos all the time. Did you just get bored of posting?
"BKC thinking about his movie rn, not this overheat" shit had me ctfu 😂😂

BKC bringing lax in adv? This is truly insane
That Gen 2 battle was cool af, GSC beating the stall allegations right here
gen 2 hasn't been stally since 2012
I mean gsc isn't stall
@@darthhydreigon820 I know, I've personally played a bit of GSC OU, but I was expressing the general consensus.
👍🏿
people always confuse "slow" with stall
I love the fact that the whole ingame chat devolved into an ad for Bkc's movie, I'm genuinely a fan of it though
Stand proud Jimothy Cool, you are strong
Seeing Jim's team, I was thinking... hmm... what if BKC brought Snorlax? Never mind, it's BKC... and he actually did it... laughed so hard
Big yellow would be so cool to see in vids like this. They're rad asf
Big Yellow is good for a collab, but perhaps not for fight night. A bit of a mismatch.
Man, i've been watching BKC for years. I know he is crazy good but seeing him actually play is crazy. Such a good player. Also I love his movie-themed barely sensical rants
The crossover I remember reading about beforehand from ausma's twitter but forgot about, this was certainly unexpected but well needed
I remember playing competitive battles on MIIRC chat servers in 8th grade on the school computers before Netbattle existed. It was entirely text based, no health bars or sprites or anything like that, and it was wild.

Everyone is an absolute freak to jimothy, the perfect lifeform

The opening image of Pokemon Netbattle unlocked a deep memory in me - holy moly.
BKC is goated, he also has a great name
I need more of this.
Speaking about JiCo and BKC.
Pls make a format about pro's and con's of mons, the twist is: you two do it togheter
24:56 “bro got off the noob gut” lmao
Thought the title was applying that BKC is super jacked.. Hope the next video about this important development in the meta.
I'm glad to see BKC using Draco Meteor CM Jirachi
21:58 I didn't know Jirachi learns Draco Meteor 😮
Special Jirachi from an event back in gen IV and V
Would love/sponsor a video of you 2 laddering together in gen 3
Really fun video and great concept! Feels like it could be a series. Maybe it could have been edited in a way that makes the battles easier to follow, sometimes I didn't know what had happened until I read the battle log on the side.
Crazy how far the quality of has improved in the past year. Keep winning king.
Competitive pokemon singles has been around for a very long time. Online competitive battle simulators have existed since even the release of pokemon emerald.
yaaaay more bkc content :)
Shame you didn’t bring home the W
But 2-3 against one of THE TITANS of competitive Pokémon certainly isn’t something to just turn your nose out
Greats plays, some good and bad rng on both sides but truly awesome
I would love if you were able to do some more collabs with not just BKC but any of the other poketubers
And it doesn’t have to be battling, it could be spitballing about what you felt about Gen 9, how do you think Gen 10 will be and should Clef get banned?
Fun af video. You're so charming, feels like I could enjoy a video of you talking through your potted plant collection.

Just for saying that BKC was an inspiration it deserves my respect
This is incredible. I am in awe.
Was upset I couldn't watch this live. Good set man!
Competitive Pokémon singles has been around for a very long time
BKC is truly the goat
I was among the people who downloaded and messed around with Netbattle back before they implemented Gen 3 into the system.
I was never good, I was always terrible at competitive pokemon, but seeing that program is a crazy nostalgia trip for me, lol.
Didn't expect to enjoy this so much!
8:32 lmao "throughout sand and spikes I alone am the chipped one"
The most ambitious crossover in cinema history 🔥
Love the Thief gen 2 sample team. I have an insane 0% winrate with it.
I was so hoping bkc would counter a second time when you went with alakazam t wave in round 5. Gen 1 counter is very funny, using the last damage recieved regardless of turn, so long as it's from a normal or fighting move.
Watching and chatting live was very fun, though I wish I had seen a Moltres in the BW game for the meme
No toilet break, no party
So happy you also caught the iron mugulis joke in wolfeys video 🤣
Hello, Ryan Golem.
Sunny day-rest talk moltres is easily one of my favorite sets. It is super spicy, and it i love running it on a sunny day team with Houndoom and Entei.
Huge advocate for Gen 3 OU in the past.
Jimothy is so cool for being so humble as he single handedly makes Gen 3 the most played old Gen in all of Smogon.
I watched one of his videos just the other day, wowie
The fact that gen 4&5 is considered an old gen is making me feel old already i guess that means gen 6 is on the chopping block of being an old gen soon.
Gen 6 is now older than Gen 1 was when Gen 4 came out.
turns to dust
Best Pokemon video of the year. 👊✨️
This is insane. Stand proud, you were strong.
.....God damn it.
Skarmory has used roost so many times it has permanently lost the Flying type. @6:25. This is insane.
BKC running Moltres was interesting caught me by surprise ngl.
Such a fun video to watch, thank y'all for the great matches ❤
It was cool seeing the first 5 gens all being played, though one thing I didn't realise was that Latias was allowed in Gen 4 OU again, I know from FSG vids that it was tested at one point in time, then banned as was Salamence
Latias was unbanned a couple years ago I think
@jimothycool That's interesting, it's nice to see that there are still developments in the metas of older gens years later 👍
There was an editing error at 1:48. Iron Mugulis actually fell to NU in the January tier shifts
i knew iron jugulis was iron mugulis all along and no one listened to me
I'm not as competitively inclined, but since you correctly read the protect why not go subsitute at 9:48 ?
Barry Lyndon is very well paced in my opinion. Definitely doesn’t feel it’s length.
Ah yes gen 4 poketubing brings memories back. Good ol days
I like that he beat you in gen 3 and you beat him in gen 4.
This is what we needed
Iron Mugulis has made BKC his thrall and is using him to attack his greatest nemesis.
The nostalgia of Net Battle 😍
ahh pokemon netbattle, where i first played competitive pokemon
This video was very fun :)
The insanity of the BKC vs Jimothy Cool old gens best of three (2023)
Best of Five AND Old Gens 1 to 5? Unfortunate does not even begin to describe.
Conspiracy theory: JimothyCool is Lavos.
Edit: 9:44 DragMag vs Rain in the Gen 5 match, too. This is insane.
(Spoilers) GJ on going 2-3. It was nice to see your commentary on gens that we never really see on Jimothy Gaming.
I feel like the most significant thing i got out of this was that articuno learns heal bell, like what
the birds all got one secret special move. Zados got Baton Pass, Moltres has Will o Wisp and Articuno learns Heal Bell. Does it make sense? No
Iron mugulus haunts my dreams
stop him jimothy you're our only hope
Now I need Jimothy to collab with FSG. Maybe he does the narration for the April fools day video
If gen 2 is the Barry Lyndon of Pokémon metagames what is gen 3
Editing during the games was slick - good to use those fade transition with so many small cuts. Made the battle so much mor enjoyable to watch
You know how Wolfeys worst generation was gen 7. My two worst generations were gen 8 due to zacian and other legendary Pokémon due to them being incredibly overpowered. and gen 2 because there is a lot of stalling in that generation. Typically it would take me and my opponent 40 turns to finish a gen 2 match.
do you play competitively?
@@tecul1 I have I played Pokémon sword and shield competively did not do well in that game, I have played scarlet and violet competively with more success making it to master ball tier more than once, and I play Pokémon showdown both build my teams and play random more than building teams and before all of those games I have played Pokémon go in the past.
BKC THE GOATTTT
2:11 💀🎶
Thank god for a second I was concerned you were going to say it was Wolfey who was the best
the same zapdos set
you two are zapbros
Awesome series GGs, but didn't really like the editing cuts I think most of us would rather just have the raw video
Everyone is so worried about Iron Mugulis, but what should really concern you is Iron Drugulis.
My mind: woah he is challenging wolfe glick or ray rizzo
Ok so when are we getting a lore recap of Iron Mugulis?
Sorry, Iron mugulus disguised himself as who? I think you're making fakemon, Jim.
:rofl: i KNEW you'd pick up on that
This is insane
9:30 bro did not almost have it, he was getting his cheeks clapped the whole game 💀
I’m really full now
This crossover it's better in the anime that in the manga.
This was a sane mistake
Next do a collab with the player who can deadlift the most
Just in case you're up against him again, BKC doesn't often run guts. He runs swarm on non sub heracross n stuff
Braindead 1992 reference!!!!!!!
thats my goat
What was the first music playing at like 2:15
