This tournament was the first time in a long time I was able to do really anything competitive Pokemon focused and it was an absolute blast. Thank you for inviting me!
Good lord that match between poitncrow and purplecliff. The rest of the tournament features such cool and competitive matches, but these guys just are playing to have as much fun as they can. Right choice featuring the players rather than the match there.
I did not expect Northenrlion but honestly despite his experience I’m all for it honestly just having a wide variety of streamers and you tubers was a great idea
Man this tournament was such a blast, stayed for all six hours and never got bored, had such a damn good time, thx so much for putting this together and shout-outs to all the amazing people who participated. And man every single Joey v Wolfey battle was so intense those two were just going at it
To be fair this is the true legendary comeback story though, losing to the finalist and coming back from losers bracket for revenge. Doesn't get more iconic than that.
I'm surprised more of the comments aren't talking about how John (Pokemen 7) got kicked out first round by Wolfey, but managed to claw his way all the way back to get third in this, and how impressive that is.
I have TEARS in my eyes from the Purplecliffe/Pointcrow matchup, I love both their channels and seeing them face off was chaotic af. 10/10 EDIT: Okay then we move onto the politest "hello" from Smant, that whole exchange was perfectly civil in comparison
@@sanjablazina2879 I'm supposed to be an adult I can't be laughing at dick jokes! But I will admit the level of satire when the line was delivered and then the immediate regret from Jan made it much funnier than it needed to be.
@@specimen057 even as adults we are allowed to laugh, the world is a better place if you dare laugh at what you find funny😃 not in every situation, but c'mon😆
i think it’s legitimately rly cool how you started by reacting to these ppls content but now you’re providing content for them!! circle of life or whatever the saying is lol.
@@mangosteak True, but I counter with Purplecliff perhaps not being as well known as pokeaimMD. Joey's particularly well known in the Smogon/Showdown realm and been around for much longer. My bias (and perhaps personal evidence) though is that I didn't know Purplecliff before this video, but knew pokeaimMD
@@miwestraveler3986 Jan did a tournament a while ago where the rules were make a competitive team before fantina in a nuzlocke in platinum. That's what I'm talking about
personally while I think SmallAnt is a good player in his own right, both joey and wolfey are definitely the favorites here because they're easily the most experienced of everyone in the field competitive wise
Small ant has basically no experience in this kind of Pokémon battling I don’t think. Most of his challenges are played on switch and he probably isn’t used to the metas so some coverage moves/newer Pokémon probably caught him off-guard. I don’t think smant ever wins without extreme luck
I mean against pro pokemon players like Wolfeyvgc, Pokeaim and Pokemen7(fornerly) Small Ant's chances were slim to none as in battles like these experience is what counts.
I was already impressed that Wolfey is here and that Crow and Ant also joined in with mostly poketubers, but when he said NorthernLion I was blown away. 🤯
Thank you for including the second game (pointcrow vs Purplecliff) even though it wasn't on stream. Unquestionably the best match of the tournament, truly pulling out some amazing strats.
Would be interesting to see a pokemon nuzlocke tournament, where the players either get some amount of time or have to get to a certain gym (or even the champion) following hardcore nuzlocke rules, and the team they end up with they bring to the tournament
Big Ups. This was wild. Really cool to see everyone come together on an equal playing field to just beat the everloving smack out of eachothers pokemons (:
Great tournament! I was so into it the whole time! Never a dull moment in this video, great job to all competitors and awesome idea Pokémon Challenges! I’d love to see more in the future
Smant honestly got the worst rng possible lmao, that triple sleep miss into 10% para, and then on the final he got triple flinched, and then another flinch an iron head later. Tough indeed.

Is it possible that we viewers could get a bracket? So that we know what happened at the end and who won/lost?
You invited Mr. Fruit, but not BirdKeeperToby? Seems a bit sus, to me. 🤔
Why are you replying to Pchal’s comment? You do know he doesn’t give two shits about his commenters on UA-cam, right?
@@YoloYester94 yeah but U did too so
And so did i
very fun very cool! thanks for having me ❤️
FIRST, anyways hi
Hiiii
CLIFFESIDE
NO U
Hi
This tournament was the first time in a long time I was able to do really anything competitive Pokemon focused and it was an absolute blast. Thank you for inviting me!
nice
I watched ur battles against wolfey it was so intense
Was rooting for you the whole time, great job on 3rd, John!
John and jack get to play but not Michael😂
@@originssb8160 Michael probably was asked but he probably couldn’t come for some reason is my guess
Thanks for inviting me boss! This tour actually inspired me to compete again
Yung Strong Jaw the 🐐. Beautifully played man, and for a very good cause
🐐 🐐 🐐
Dude what a run! That last game was a nail biter, way to play your sacs just right man wp!
Good shit Joey!!!
Grats on the win!
when they put me in Round 1 against Pokeaim I knew I was in trouble
ty for the invite! was loads of fun :)
OMG OMG PAT
i see you everywhere, might have to check you out👀
I think everyone knew Joey was the favorite; your reaction was justified. 🤣
You were still a contender for first place IMO but that was a rough seed!
was suprised why you lost
I'm sorry for the sins I've committed against Small Ant
Lol. Rng be like
I didn't even know you played Pokemon! I use to watch your destiny content, definitely be paying attention to the channel again you're the man dude 🤣
You paid for those sins in the next match with your opponent trying to stall you out haha
That was straight up dirty and I love you for it xD
It was amazing cahhhhnnnnnnttttttteeeeeeennnnnnnnntttttttt Mr. Fruit !!
Honestly puplecliffe donating an extra 1000 dollars was such a wholesome move and he is so wholesome all together
You love to see it
PointCrow vs Purplecliffe was absolute chaos and it was incredible.
Best part is 7:52 😂
The “NO U” killed me!
I watched it live, and I couldn’t stop laughing
I only know about PointCrow through NRG and he's very oddly endearing.
NO U!
Funniest match for sure
Good lord that match between poitncrow and purplecliff. The rest of the tournament features such cool and competitive matches, but these guys just are playing to have as much fun as they can.
Right choice featuring the players rather than the match there.
True
Finally got to see Small Ant’s luck run out
His luck inverted lol
As a fan of his it was honestly pretty funny as well xD
You cant rely on luck when you're up agaisnt the Drift King
So what happened there is that RT's luck overruled Smant's luck
@@Igneusflama and then kept it inverted against fruit
The pointcrow vs purplecliffe is the best match in this game 😂
I love that no u.
So many twists! So many turns!
And they all went against PointCrow like it usually does
I did not expect Northenrlion but honestly despite his experience I’m all for it honestly just having a wide variety of streamers and you tubers was a great idea
northerlion being here was so fun actually im glad
Pointcrow vs Purplecliffe was the best match ever, they're both so chaotic 😂
Every other game: calm and commentated
Pointcrow vs Purplecliffe: HE GOT A NO U
PM7-John quiet and focused until the final superpower hits kill and gives him the match
Man this tournament was such a blast, stayed for all six hours and never got bored, had such a damn good time, thx so much for putting this together and shout-outs to all the amazing people who participated.
And man every single Joey v Wolfey battle was so intense those two were just going at it
Joey is such a monster, he deserved the W for real.
But also RIP Wolfey, I was rooting for him the whole time lol
To be fair this is the true legendary comeback story though, losing to the finalist and coming back from losers bracket for revenge. Doesn't get more iconic than that.
Crow vs. Cliffe was one of the greatest things i've ever witnessed
I'm surprised more of the comments aren't talking about how John (Pokemen 7) got kicked out first round by Wolfey, but managed to claw his way all the way back to get third in this, and how impressive that is.
John is an underratedly good player. I get why Wolfey and Joey got the spotlight, but John had a whole comeback arc this tournament.
I have TEARS in my eyes from the Purplecliffe/Pointcrow matchup, I love both their channels and seeing them face off was chaotic af. 10/10
EDIT: Okay then we move onto the politest "hello" from Smant, that whole exchange was perfectly civil in comparison
“i’ll take that chance”
“You… you can’t sleep a substitute unit. What do you mean _you’ll take that chance?_ ” 😂
@@Mr_Spaghetti iconic 😌
"Beyond the groin and into your face!"
I hate that made me laugh too, man maturity is not my strong suit.
If Jan laughs, cracking up is fair game for everyone watching xD
@@sanjablazina2879 I'm supposed to be an adult I can't be laughing at dick jokes! But I will admit the level of satire when the line was delivered and then the immediate regret from Jan made it much funnier than it needed to be.

Gotta say, hats off to RTGame, im really surprised with his vast knowledge with pokemon, im really proud of him
he used to be a competitive singles channel back in the ancient times
THIS PROJECT WAS AMAZING, I really hope to see many more. You’ve done so much for the pokemon community recently, thanks for that
For those who watched Wolfey’s stream, every time Jan said “these two do not waste any time” hits differently
I did not, what’s the meaning behind it?
Iirc Wolfey was in a rush for something so he choose to play in a sonic speed
Yup he was really late to a friend's birthday party
Really wanted to see Ludwig's reaction to sending Shedinja into Stealth Rock 😅
He knew about it
When you put Purplecliffe, Pokemon7 and PointCrow, in a vid, honestly that vid would be so funny. It sucks that Michael isn't a competitor tho
Mikey does not really like to compete like this
@@immeasurablyme3698 yeah as good as he is, he stopped enjoying battling awhile go
Great win for Joey and Wolfey for securing the 2nd place
Nice to see Aaron as well
Tho I missed Mikey/Blim and Serene Grace.
@@Oblivi0usM Bro this was streamed live on Joey's twitch on 21st January (Friday)
As well as on John's(pokemen7) UA-cam Channel
@@Oblivi0usM the creators uploaded their own videos/streams
Purplecliffe vs PointCrow was the funniest most chaotic shit ever
Can we agree that PointCrow vs PurpleCliff played out like an Anime? This shit was epic
They’re all so graceful in losing, you love to see it. Respect to all the competitors!
Purplecliffe and pointcrow’s rivalry is something I live for
Pointcrows battle was the funniest thing I’ve seen on UA-cam in such a long time not going to lie I was laughing my ass off
Omg pointcrow vs purplecliffe is just hilarious.
The undertale music slaps.
I watched this stream all the way through and it was so good
i think it’s legitimately rly cool how you started by reacting to these ppls content but now you’re providing content for them!! circle of life or whatever the saying is lol.
The fact RT Game is in this makes it 1000x funnier
And the fact he did so well is even better
So happy to see RT here again
Don't even need a final
PointCrow against Purplecliff is the battle of the century
You should definitely do more of these, thoroughly enjoyed it
Can we just admit how wholesome small ant and mr fruit battle was I swear to god mr fruit is too underrated
the disrespect to not put young strong jaw in the thumbnail even after he won
thing is he ain't that well nown and does not attract that much trafic
@@mangosteak True, but I counter with Purplecliff perhaps not being as well known as pokeaimMD. Joey's particularly well known in the Smogon/Showdown realm and been around for much longer.

@@rcube33
I looked at their sub counts.
Pruple Cliff has about twice as many subs as joey has.
I’d love to see more nuzlocke tournaments with UA-camrs. The matches were really entertaining and the nuzlocke format is interesting
Uh... this has nothing to do with nuzlockes ?
@@miwestraveler3986 Jan did a tournament a while ago where the rules were make a competitive team before fantina in a nuzlocke in platinum. That's what I'm talking about
Oh cool. I might check that out if it's on UA-cam.
@@miwestraveler3986 he did it with viewers but my comment was that he should do it with UA-camrs
THE "NO U" WITH THE DIO POSE I'M SCREAMING
I like how everyone's picture was either something casual or their logo and then there's Wolfey at 0:21
now imagine a world where the last game was gen 2
I love Moxie2D getting crossovers with other poketubers!
This was cool to watch, was hoping to see the world's best nuzlocker competing too but nevertheless very cool video
Sucks for Wolfey not being able to play the finals to his full ability bc of time constraints
Yea real shame 👁️👄👁️
So cool to see all these creators come together!
very fucking cool! Seeing wolfey I thought, "yea, I know who's gonna be in finals" but that ending was great! gg's all around
We needed FlygonHG in this tournament. If you do this again I do believe you should have him.
Personally, I was hoping to see yung NumbNexus, the big double N, in the tourney perhaps even as a commentator
agreed!! I’d love to see him play against others like this
Him and Silph Spectre grudge match
i thought smallant would win, he has some experience and also normally a lot of luck, but someday, the luck had to run out
personally while I think SmallAnt is a good player in his own right, both joey and wolfey are definitely the favorites here because they're easily the most experienced of everyone in the field competitive wise
Small ant has basically no experience in this kind of Pokémon battling I don’t think. Most of his challenges are played on switch and he probably isn’t used to the metas so some coverage moves/newer Pokémon probably caught him off-guard. I don’t think smant ever wins without extreme luck
I mean against pro pokemon players like Wolfeyvgc, Pokeaim and Pokemen7(fornerly) Small Ant's chances were slim to none as in battles like these experience is what counts.
He had literally zero chance as long as Joey was in the tournament. The guy is the absolute GOAT of singles battles.
smallant is trash lmao
This whole thing is pretty cool. Hope you do some more things like this in the future.
This was so much fun to watch, It got me to play Pokémon on showdown so thank you for that!
Genuinely loved how these games went. Seeing people get as far ad they got was amazing. GGs all round
Northernlion is the last person I expected I'd be rooting for when I clicked on this
So true so true
I was already impressed that Wolfey is here and that Crow and Ant also joined in with mostly poketubers, but when he said NorthernLion I was blown away. 🤯
Love to see all my favorite Poketubers and also Northernlion in a tournament
Spoiler Alert:
This video is good.
You lied to me. It wasn't a good video....
It was awesome
16:16 I didn't expect to hear the original Doom OST for background music! Awesome! "Suspense" is a really nice track.
The manscaped sponsors are always hilarious
Actually hype to hear the Shantae music in the back ground of some of the matches. Such a good backing track
24:43 chat spamming among us describes my current mental state
Its a shame we didnt get to see much shady penguin. He was one of my favorite poketubers when I was younger
I've watched this tournament 3 times now. And it's exciting every time
23:58 John with the laser focus until the the superpower hits kills and gives him the match
LETS GO!!!!!!!!
Anytime someone says Smallant has good RNG, send them this video
Peep that Persona 5 battle music in round 3... This was super cool! Props to everyone involved and to PC for organizing!
I’ve been watching pokeaim for years and the dude is an animal, easily the best competitive Pokémon player
Thank you for including the second game (pointcrow vs Purplecliff) even though it wasn't on stream. Unquestionably the best match of the tournament, truly pulling out some amazing strats.
Such a great choice of players here - I love that we pulled from such a diverse pool of Pokémon fans. Special shout out to Mr Fruit, love him.
As much as I like pointcrow as a streamer, I can't help but always root against him
I don’t watch Twitch so I’ve just been waiting patiently for the next upload you do not disappoint
Bro this is the first time I've ever felt connected, spiritually, to people who watch sports. I was on the edge of my seat the whole damn time
Would be interesting to see a pokemon nuzlocke tournament, where the players either get some amount of time or have to get to a certain gym (or even the champion) following hardcore nuzlocke rules, and the team they end up with they bring to the tournament
This was so entertatining, thanks for doing this. Would love to see another one
You really have to do something like this again. This was insanely fun to watch.
Big Ups. This was wild. Really cool to see everyone come together on an equal playing field to just beat the everloving smack out of eachothers pokemons (:
Wholesome tournament, such a blast to watch!
"Manscaped, beyond the groin" is catchy AF tho! They should Def use that
Pokemon challenges getting pretty goated at ad reads. The grind is paying off, the content creation is flowing
Cliffe + Crow = PEAK comedy. What a ride lmfao
Given how often Joey plays randbats, this isn't too surprising. He was definitely more in his element than wolfey
Pointcrow + purplecliffe is total and amazing chaos
Great tournament! I was so into it the whole time! Never a dull moment in this video, great job to all competitors and awesome idea Pokémon Challenges! I’d love to see more in the future
The double white board reveal was incredible content. great video
Holy moly! Shady, Patterz, Purplecliffe… even Gunner!! Those are some household names in the world of Pokétubers!
Ayy, Shantae music at 11:40 you love to see it
What a phenomenal line up of poketubers. Awesome video!
"Creepy guy at the park"... I've never laughed so hard at a promotion. LOL
Holy hell this was a BLAST to watch!
Smant honestly got the worst rng possible lmao, that triple sleep miss into 10% para, and then on the final he got triple flinched, and then another flinch an iron head later. Tough indeed.
Gooooooood Joey is such a monster dude. This was an actual cheek clencher of a tournament.
Pointcrow and purplecliffe has so much chemistry XD.
That koko play truly an agency special from the doctor
Pointcrow vs Purplecliffe was the most amazing showdown I've ever seen.
PointCrow and PurpleCliff have such a chaotic energy together xD
Small ant is by far my favorite, it sucks to see he had super bad luck with the multiple missed on sleep powder and flinches due to iron head
smallant got some crazy bad luck lmao. GG to everyone involved! PokeAim and Wolfey played so well
I love that Point Crow and Purplecliffe had matching energy 😂
Was totally rooting for PointCrow or SmallAnt, preferably PointCrow.
