    So in the quarters we have:
    - A battle of the first two champions
    - A battle of two characters that were only side rivals but became more popular than the main rivals
    - the queen of Sinnoh vs the seemingly unbeatable power of Paradox Pokémon
    and then the last one has two characters barely anyone has even heard of before 💀
    o7 to Saguaro's meme team, you fought well

    Alright. Live reacting to this:
    Bump for spoilers
    Bump
    1. JESUS CHRIST BLUE YOU NEARLY LOST. YOU SQUEAKED THAT VICTORY AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NUTS. But also, I feel like Riley kind of got here by accident. His pseudo-legendaries are what kept him going. But HOLY SHIT BLUE YOU NEARLY LOST HERE.
    2. Agatha got close! If there was anyone who was going to take down Lance, it has to be Blue. This seems like a "fated" battle. But Agatha did get close. She K/Oed two of his dragons!
    3. Unfortunately, this one was going to be a sweep. Gladion had exactly two Pokemon that can easily K/O Poppy's team. If she could take those out, she had a good chance to win. But this wasn't the case, and Gladion completely destroyed her.
    4. WOW THAT IS BAD LUCK. Sabrina should have absolutely destroyed him, but never hit a Focus Blast. That's just supremely bad luck for her, as Wally just swept right through.
    5. Maylene had a great team. Fire, Grass, Bug, Steel, Psychic, and Fighting types that are all also fighting. But Kamado had just enough type advantages (And that Braviary tho) to score enough of a victory. I'm glad she made it through to now, but I don't think this was a fair fight for her.
    6. Saguardo was an amazing trainer and it was kinda luck that he got this far. But Somek had a bunch of pseduo-legendaries and really... Was there any doubt he'd get through?
    7. Well, I'm glad they're facing off now and not in the finals. Seriously. How is anyone supposed to beat Sada? Her team is INSANE. It may as well be 6 legendaries. But I highly doubt anyone can beat her. Unless...
    8. I honestly don't know why I was worried. Cynthia AGAIN wipes the floor with her opponent without even losing more than 3 Pokemon. Well done.
    So yeah. Either Cynthia or Sada will win. Maybe Blue pulls a victory out of nowhere? But that's all. I sincerely doubt there's anyone else.

    Pre-match commentary: HYPE! We have 16 really strong trainers here! Ihn the first quarter, we have Blue as the best team composition, Riley as a pseudolegendary spammer with a busted team, Lance as a dragon spammer, and... uh... Agatha? If Agatha wins this I swear... Anyway, I'm gonna go with Blue over Riley, Lance over Agatha, and Blue over Agatha. Blue vs Riley is insanely close, and the winner of this match is my favorite to get to the finals, but I'm going with Blue here because double intimidate has the chance to really annoy Riley's physically oriented team.
    In Quarter 2, we have a steel type trainer who will burn to any fire types, a pretty legit Sabrina, and two incredibly solid, well balanced teams in Wally and Gladion. I'm gonna go with Wally over Gladion here, but I don't think Wally can beat Blue.
    In Quarter 3, we have Maylene with a really scary fighting type squad, Kamado with a bulky offense balanced squad, a random chef, and a pretty scary representative from Orre. Somek destroys the Chef, but Maylene/Kamado could go either way. I actually think Maylene can do it! Unfortunately, I think Maylene will run in to a hard wall against Somek, who just has too much physical bulk, resists, and intimidate to get scared by Maylene. Going with Somek here!
    Then Quarter 4, oh man, quarter 4. Both AIs, Cynthia, and another champion. Kukui is outclassed here and has no shot, but honestly, any of the other three could come out on top. Turo's my pre-tourney pick to win it all, so I'm sticking with that, going Turo over Cynthia. I'll be cheering for our Sinnoh champion though, I'd love humanity to be able to come through with the win!
    If everything goes as I predict it, I think AI Turo beats Blue in the finals. LETS GO! Match commentary will be below!
    ...
    Blue vs Riley: Well that match delivered! What a comeback by Blue! I thought he was out of it but Arcanine delivered!
    Lance vs Agatha: I was hoping. I was almost convinced. But Lance was just too strong. Agatha's Gengar deserves some MVP votes as most valuable pokemon in the tourney, it has carried her otherwise bad team so much farther than it should have.
    Poppy vs Gladion: Poppy finally ran in to a fire type. Then ran in to a fighting type. Enough said.
    Wally vs Sabrina: That was clean. Sabrina ran in to the limits of relying on focus miss.
    Maylene vs Kamado: Wow, Maylene was close! Heracross can easily ko snorlax if facade is a ko there! I think Kamado has a very good chance to get in the final four now, his team matches up vs Somek much better than Maylene's does.
    Chef vs Somek: Everyone still in the tourney is a good trainer now.
    AI duel: RIP Turo. That was not nearly as close as I expected. Not entirely sure what happened here, but Turo got off to a bad start and never really recovered.
    Cynthia vs Kukui: The sinnoh champ is good. She just outclassed Kukui there.
    Final thoughts: This round struck down the pretenders, and everyone left is legit. Of the remaining trainers, I think Lance, Gladion, and Somek are a step behind the other five. With my pick out, I'm switching my pick to Sada to win it all, but she's gonna have her hands full vs Cynthia. We're down to the final 8, and I can't wait to see it!

    oh man, the quarterfinals is looking to be some FUN matches. two kanto champs who have canonically faced off before, two strong rivals, one edgy, one wholesome, two guys who... honestly don't really have any similarities in character but both have some big, bulky, beefy boys on their teams, and the two girlbosses of the century

  • @IanWeaver
    @IanWeaver Рік тому +5

    So, let's look at the top 8.
    1. Gen 5 and Gen 6 are nonexistent. I don't know how that happened, but it did. Gen 6 I get, but Gen 5 has some absolutely stacked battles.
    2. The Champions of Gen 1 and 2 are a nice welcome. If you ever felt like Pokemon got more powerful over time, these two should show you that the older mons (Lance's team having two Gen 5ers not withstanding) still have something worthwhile. And Blue having a trick up his sleeve for almost any fight is nuts.
    3. Two "rivals" from Gen 3 and 7 are fascinating, as you'd think some of the other rivals would have shown up, but Wally and Gladion have powerful teams.
    4. Kamado and Somek are... Weird. How the hell did they get here?
    5. The AI making it this far is not surprising. I keep wondering if anyone can take her down.
    6. All hail Champion Cynthia.

    • @clothieredward5248
      @clothieredward5248 Рік тому +4

      It's funny how Gen 6 in nonexistent in the Top 8 or even in the Final 16 considering..... they're not even present in the Top 32! Kalos's best trainer was Wikstrom with 17 KO's landing approximately in 39th place.
      Unova had a solid chance of representation though with N and Ghetsis. If only AI Sada and.... Saguaro didn't screw them over.
      I wish Riley had made into the Top 8 but the fact that Blue managed to build the best team he possibly could with only Gen 1 and Gen 2 is definitely worth commemorating. Bro is defying power creep left right and center.
      Somek obviously made it into the Top 8 because of his two pseudos and other powerful Pokemon. As for Kamado... wait how did he get here?
      The only trainers who I think have a decent shot at taking down AI Sada are either Cynthia or Somek. I don't see any other trainer taking her down. Not even Blue.
      It'd be cool to see Cynthia make it further but Top 8 is still a very commendable position. Even the Final 16 is a quite honorable position to make it to.

    Spoilers:
    I called 7 of these correctly. I only missed Maylene v. Kamado and I felt that one could have gone either way in predictions.
    My prediction for the finals:
    Blue v. Lance: Blue. Lance has coasted through on base power alone, but here is where his lack of technique finally catches up with him.
    Gladion v. Wally: Wally, His team is so much better than Gladion's.
    Kamado v. Somek: Somek. This one will likely be the closest battle (on paper), but I think Somek's flying types give him the edge.
    AI Sada vs. Cynthia: AI Sada. Cynthia is strong, but Sada's team is stupidly broken. Also, Cynthia doesn't have many answers to Fairies (Roserade is physically frail and Lucario can revenge kill, but can't switch in safely on anything and is easy fodder for Slither Wing).
    Blue v. Wally: Blue. Wally will be Blue's 2nd toughest opponent, but Blue is more balanced and has the better move sets.
    Somek v. AI Sada: AI Sada. Somek's mon's are bulkier than Sada's and hit hard, but his mediocre move sets and her Speed will carry the day.
    Wally v. Somek: Wally. His team is really good and will likely survive Somek's onslaught.
    Blue v. AI Sada. This is Blue's toughest fight and I don't think he will survive it. The Paradox mons will be too much for him.
    Winner AI Sada

      Considering that Cynthia is an archaeologist, no one would be more fit for defeating her than Sada. No one aside from Turo are also more fit for defeating Sada. I find that match to be a toss up. Her team composition is just extremely good. She is a famous terror in the pokemon community for a reason. Sada is one of the few trainers that actually have a chance against Cynthia and a quite good one too. I say the flutter mane will be her biggest challenge and Cynthia’s togekiss would be Sada’s greatest obstacle.

    The majority of the battle in the Final 16 ended up how I expected with a couple of exceptions.
    It looked like Riley was going to take the W, but Blue managed to revenge kill half of Riley's team which was a shocker.
    Lance beat Agatha with a bit more trouble than I expected.
    Poppy got defeated by Gladion thanks to Silvally and Lucario.
    Wally annihilated Sabrina's team which I did not expect. I thought that if Wally took advantage of Sabrina's secondary typings, he might've stood chance, but I didn't think he had it in him to beat Sabrina. Way to go!
    Kamado beat Maylene thanks to his Clefable, Ursaluna, and... Golem?!?!?
    Saguaro's luck ran out against Mr. Pseudo Legendary (aka Somek).
    AI Turo got shut down by AI Sada once again (thanks to Uber staple Flutter Mane).
    And Cynthia didn't struggle that much against Kukui.
    As for who I thnk will take the crown of the World Tour, my bets are on either Lance, AI Sada, or Cynthia.
    I am praying that Cynthia can defeat the Flutter Mane and in turn dismantle the rest of AI Sada's team but the reality is it might just be too much for our favorite champion.
    But who knows? We'll find out what actually happens in the Final 8 next week which is pretty much the finale to this epic series so.... see you then.

    The final 16 was very predictable, but that come from behind win by Blue (especially him) and Lance was something to see. IF Riley sent out his already near dead Ursaring and saved Absol for last he may have won if Arcanine used close combat on Ursaring like it did here he may have pulled an upset.

    Alright let us see how Cynthia can stand up against Sada's paradox OP mons.
    1. Slither Wing (Bug/fighting): Her Togekiss should easily kill it and spirit tomb is a safe switch just in case.
    2. Scream Tail (Fairy/Psychic): This one is a little challenging. Spirit tomb's dark move is quad damage, but weak to fairy as well. Roserade the same situation. Lucario could do damage as well with a steel move.
    3. Brute Bonnet (Grass/Dark): Lucario should destroy it with close combat. Togekiss strong as well.
    4. Sandy Shocks (Electric/Ground): Garchomp is strong here. Lucario knows earthquake, but earth power will use that focus sash.
    5. Flutter Mane (Ghost/Fairy): Like Scream Tail a little challenging. Lucario is needed big time here. Ghost resist poison so Roserade isn't the best. U can use Spirit Tomb, but again with the fairy type being the only weakness is tough.
    6. Roaring Moon (Dragon/Dark): Cynthia absolutely NEEDS Spirit Tomb to Will-o-Wisp here to deal with that stupid Energy Booster item. After that Lucario's close combat will do well or Milotic's ice beam.
    Who to start with and what she should start with: I believe the AI will start with Lucario as it has been the whole tournament and I kind of agree with it. Lucario can technically deal with 5/6 of her paradox mons really except for Slither Wing. The one thing I worry about is that it will make focus sash unusable afterwards. I believe Sada will send out either Scream Tail or Flutter Mane.
    All I can say good luck Cynthia and I hope u beat all these busted paradox mons.

    Comments for each battle, my favored for each round will be bolded, before I start watching the battle.
    Blue vs *Riley*
    Both setting up, Guts vs D-Dance. Not surprised Ursaring wins this, as unlike T-Tar, he can hit for supereffective. 5-6
    A couple switches before Blue gets an important KO against Salamence with his Exeggutor. 5-5
    Riley immediately revenge-KO's with Absol. 4-5
    Two more switches, and a missed Focus Blast gives Riley's Metagross an important KO against Alakazam. 3-5
    More switching, and Gyarados gets the KO against Garchomp, but Garchomp bruises a few of Blue's team on its way out. 3-4
    Lucario with the revenge. 2-4
    Machamp takes a heavy hit, but back to back D-Punches take out Lucario. 2-3
    Metagross eats a D-Punch and revenges, but is now confused against Arcanine. 1-3
    Arcanine Teras to Fire and revenges. 1-2.
    Arcanine eats a hit, but avoids the crit and OHKO's Absol. 1-1
    Arcanine outspeeds and finishes off the badly bruised Ursaring, giving Blue the victory! What an excellent comeback victory for Blue, by such a narrow margin!
    *Lance* vs Agatha
    Lance starts with Hydreigon, which is easy pickings for Gengar's Fairy coverage move. 5-6
    Gengar eats an EQ from Salamence, surviving with Sash, and fires back two more Gleams. 4-6
    Dragonite eats a Gleam, losing Multiscale, but takes the opportunity to D-Dance and then KO. 4-5
    Crobat manages one flinch before going down to D-Dance boosted Outrage. 4-4
    Weezing takes a ton of damage, but lives and finishes off the injured Dragonite. 3-4
    No setup, Haxorus goes straight for Outrage. 3-3
    Haxorus takes a couple Shadow Balls and some confusion damage, but still drops Al-Marowak. 3-2
    Arbok's intimidate buys it one hit from Haxorus, enough to finish it off after eating a weakened Outrage. 2-2
    A couple switches, ending with Flygon and Mismagius trading blows til Flygon goes down first. 1-2
    Kingdra Tera-Dragons, then wipes up Mismagius. 1-1
    Continues the cleanup with Arbok, giving Lance a closer than expected win! Lance managed to overcome an early disadvantage and bring the pain to Agatha. Lance vs Blue is going to be a VERY interesting battle! Blue doesn't have any great anti-dragon Pokemon, but maybe he can pull it off.
    Poppy vs *Gladion*
    Gladion opens the battle with a brutal OHKO from Fire!Sylvally, possibly setting the tone for this entire battle. 5-6
    Silvally takes an EQ, but continues its rampage. It's weak, but it may have already secured him enough advantage to win. 4-6
    Magnezone eats a heavy shot before finishing Silvally off, but the Salac berry might let it do some serious damage before going down. 4-5
    Weavile chips away at Corviknight, but goes down unceremoniously. Not much use against Poppy, so not a bad move by Gladion. 4-4
    Zoroark disguised as Crobat gets one hit on Corviknight before they both go down to Brave Bird. Poppy seems to have stabilized for now. 3-3
    Spoke too soon, Lucario OHKOs Orthworm. 2-3
    Lucario OHKOs Copparajah. 1-3
    And finishes off Magnezone, giving Gladion a very comfortable victory. I imagine the type specialists are going to be filtered out in this round, facing good, varied teams.
    Sabrina vs *Wally*
    An *incredible* start for Wally, paralyzing and taking down Alakazam without taking any return damage. 5-6
    Magnezone gets put to sleep, but due to some lucky misses, wakes up before taking damage and takes down Slowking. 4-6
    Magnezone takes serious damage, but takes down a THIRD Pokemon of Sabrina's, this time her Metagross. I'd be shocked if Wally lost from this position. 3-6
    Espeon gets revenge on Magnezone, but the damage may already be done. 3-5
    Azumarill takes heavy damage but still brings down Espeon. 2-5
    Switches to Talonflame, preserving his Azumarill and effortlessly takes down Exeggutor. 1-5
    Talonflame recoils itself down but still scores the win for Wally as it does so, defeating Sabrina in a *dominant* display. Wally vs Gladion is going to be a slugfest, but I think Gladion's Silvally might be the lynchpin that gives him the edge to win out.
    Maylene vs *Kamado*
    Maylene loses Lucario early to a slugfest with Clefable. 5-6
    Medicham gets revenge, keeping things even. 5-5
    A switch to Hitmontop against Golem, but trips the Weakness Policy and loses the Hitmontop. 4-5
    Medicham gets revenge c-c-c-combo! 4-4
    Maylene throws her Breloom away for no reasons on a switch against Braviary, then just switches BACK to Medicham after. Stupid. 3-4
    Deals heavy damage, but goes down in one shot. 2-4
    Infernape gets revenge, but used Overheat to do it, wasting its white herb. 2-3
    Infernape and Ursaluna trade heavy blows, with Infernape going down. 1-3
    Heracross Tera-Fights, gets revenge and triggers Guts, 1-2
    Kamado's Heracross is faster and wins the duel, giving Kamado the victory over Maylene. She fought well, but the outcome is unsurprising.
    Saguaro vs *Somek*
    Saguaro paras the Gyarados early-smart!-and sacs Pachirisu to do it. 5-6
    Froslass and Gyarados trade blows, and Froslass wins out. 5-5
    Froslass burns Slaking-ALSO smart!-and goes down. 4-5
    Slaking switches out, Salamence trades shots with Vespiquen and wins. 3-5
    Alomomola Aqua Jets for revenge KO. Saguaro might have a shot at this! 3-4
    Alomomola absolutely *devours* Giga Impacts from Slaking as they trade blows, with Alomomola winning. 3-3
    Metagross cleans up Alomomola. Ouch. 2-3
    Metagross OHKO's Hatterene, who Saguaro sent out for some reason into a bad type matchup. 1-3
    Metagross beats Goodra, giving Somek the unsurprising win. His team isn't elegant, but it IS powerful. He will be a dangerous enemy for anybody. Somek vs Kamado should be interesting, but I have a hard time imagining Somek losing with his team of heavyweights.
    *Turo* vs Sada
    Heavy blows both ways, but Iron Valiant loses to... Scream Tail. Okay. 5-6
    Scream Tail hits hard, but Iron Hands cleans it up. He might be able to stabilize. 5-5
    Flutter Mane gets the revenge. 4-5
    Flutter Mane continues to clean up, beating Iron Moth without taking too much return damage. 3-5
    CONTINUES to dominate, OHKOing Iron Bundle and still standing. 2-5
    Badly hurts Iron Thorns before going down. Not sure how Turo comes back from this. 2-4
    Iron Jugulis trades shots with Sandy Shocks, but wins. 2-3
    Roaring Moon gets the quick KO. 1-3
    And then cleans up, giving AI Sada a very comfortable victory. The Paradox Pokemon are just... SO strong. They're all just slightly weaker than Pseudos.
    Kukui vs *Cynthia*
    Ninetales deals some damage, but Lucario OHKOs to give Cynthia an early lead. 5-6
    Incineroar comes out and trades heavy blows, getting the KO but being near KO itself. 5-5
    Incineroar switches away from Garchomp, sacrificing Braviary to Cynthia's apex predator. 4-5
    Magnezone deals a chunk of damage, but goes down all the same. Cynthia appears to be running away with this battle. 3-5
    A lucky Paralyze lets Snorlax KO the Garchomp, but it has taken heavy damage in turn. He's not stabilized yet, but the beast is down. 3-4
    Spiritomb burns Snorlax and injures Lycanroc before going down to Stone Edge. Kukui's team is all badly bruised, and Cynthia's back half are all completely fresh. 3-3
    Milotic takes a good hit, but KO's the Lycanroc. Cynthia might just close out this battle with Milotic. 2-3
    Snorlax just can't do meaningful damage to Milotic, letting it Recover back up and be reasonably healthy after KOing it. 1-3
    And Milotic cleans up, giving Cynthia the win over the Alolan Professor. No surprise there, but now she's facing the Paradox Pokemon next round. I worry they'll prove too much, but Cynthia will always have my vote of confidence.

    If Riley’s absol had sucker punch, he would have defeated blue. Also, all those misses from Sabrina. She could have done a lot better or even won if she didn’t miss every single focus blast. Or in this competition, focus misses. AI Turo’s plays were terrible. He could have taken out scream tail so much sooner and should have saved iron valiant for roaring moon. He could have had a real chance.
