pokemon powercreep is a good thing if you consider that as more fucked up mons get released, the easier it gets for the pokemon to win against the lions
DPPt are some of the worst games in the series.
Coming from someone who likes these games a lot, they are carried by nostalgia.
Thinking Platinum was the peak of pokemon is a calling card for someone who doesnt actually like the series and is the Gen Z equivalent of a Genwunner
something people don't give enough credit when it comes the "use your favorites" discussion in VGC is that using meta pkmn provides a new avenue for growing attached to new mons.
We often get labelled as soulless, but tbh I love Glimmora and I doubt I would if I didnt play VGC
Pro - probably one of the best videos i've edited
Con - one of the most unbearable comment sections i've had the displeasure of reading. Holy shit, how tf are they all so miserable?

-Defeated Red for the Living Legend Ribbon (counting as Kanto/Johto Champ)
-BW/B2W2 doesnt give ribbons for beating the league :(
-XY for Kalos Champion Ribbon
-ORAS for Hoenn Champion Ribbon
cool little project i worked on over the weekend. Been getting into making mons that have extra novelty and thought it would be cool to have a Hisuian Typhlosion The Living Legend, but ended up going the extra mile to get every champion ribbon possible.
Famously the worst regional dex in the series, character writing is non-existent leading to most NPCs being unrememberable, runs at a snail's pace.
Platinum is often cited as fixing these, but that just isnt true. I think this is shown well by the backlash BDSP got where...
yall are too mean to Geeta fr. she is cool af.
from a story perspective, there is no way that she isnt pulling her punches in the champion fight. The point of the fight is to essentially graduate, not to become the champion. After you beat her, she is still THE champion.
hey, whats up.
i've been grappling with this recently for about 6 months now (though ive had on and off feelings since 2019), but I finally have accepted and feel comfortable enough to share/reintroduce myself as not "Brady."
Hi, my name is Baylynn and I am a woman (she/her).
...a lot of the issues people had of the game stemmed from it being a remake of the sinnoh games rather than the remake being incompetent.
By all means, BDSP should have been considered the best way to experience sinnoh due to ease of access and QoT changes.
@AedraRising
XY is better. SwSh is about as good as Platinum, if not, a little bit worse.
also you clearly didnt read the tweet when it literally says "As someone who likes these games a lot"
fun day on vgc twitter! love having my entire existence scrutinised by a dumbass youtuber :D
thank you to everyone who has been showing love and support for the trans members in the community. i appreciate it and im sure a lot of others do too ๐๐๐
I should clarify, this is by no means an attack at people's nostalgia and enjoyment of the game. I've got a lot of nostalgia for these games too.
This is directed towards the crowd that will put down the other games in the series that are fine, but will put DPPt on a pedestal
it is just so insane to me that so many bitch made nerd dumbasses will refuse to use good mons and act like they're above it all, lose to people who use actual teams and endlessly complain about people using meta options in a competitive environment
how can you not just realise "oh this thing isnt for me", stick to playing the games casually and stfu? why are you inputting on something that you hold no stake in?
you have a problem with not being able to use all your favs? comp pokemon isnt for you and never will be for you
you dont understand, this guy will get their hands on a special attacker and instantly try to run calm mind on it.
istg i've seen them run it on Lando-I, it's actually insane
really sad that there are a group of vgc players whose first instinct was to judge the plays like it was a real game, instead of recognising it was a meme that had intentionally bad plays bc it was funny, despite it literally being in the title
She acts like she isnt pulling her punches bc otherwise it would make the accomplishment less of one if she was like "lmao ill go easy on you"
nah, she doesnt try until Indigo Disk where she bosses up with lead Toxic Debris Glim and with Supreme Overlord Tera Fly Kingambit last
my favorite thing about Scarlet/Violet is random Great Balls just showing up in cutscenes.
what are they doing there? who put that there? why is it a great ball?
gonna mention that this tweet was made for 2 reasons
1. I was surprised that my sample size of 8 people caught their Ogerpon in a Friend Ball
2. So i can personally tell everyone who didn't and replies "heh i actually didnt use a friend ball bc im different" that they're wrong
I really enjoyed this game. I think a lot of people overrate it, but for good reason tho, it's very unique and has a lot of charm.
Interesting setting, double battles being the main way to battle is sick and the pre-gen 6 models are great. I love how much love gen 2 gets too.
vgc twitter's habit of
old mon that was really strong before returns > old mon is weaker than usual > "umm [x] is fraudulent???" > old mon inevitably gets good results and is still strong> "huh [x] is back??? omg"
infuriates me so much.
You use Porygon-Z in BDSP VGC because it has the highest SpA in the game and Adaptability.
I use Porygon-Z in BDSP VGC because ehehe funny cool duck boy hehehe.
We are not the same.
if you're criticisms are only gameplay related, valid but also the AI Professors are supposed to be the final boss anyways ๐ซข๐ซข
glimmora ace is hype as fuck too, but my bias is showing lol
screwing up their life? are you fucking stupid?
He is being held accountable for being actively harmful to a community and was kicked out. Neil is allowed to exist, grow and live elsewhere, just not in this community.
not being able to play pokemon =/= screwing up someones life
None of you care what Neil did. Just now is he doing well and your envy prevents you from letting people live.
There is a big difference between wanting someone to apologize for their actions and wanting to screw up their life.
You have tried with Kasty, Edu, and now him.
comments for videos I edit for marcos are so funny bc they are 1 of 2 things.
1. some shitter having the worst take on competitive pokemon of all time
or
2. "omfg is that guilty gear music?"
sooner or later, eternatus is gonna realise that she's better off without this leech and start clicking Power Herb Meteor Beam.
same thing happened to Glimmora
have been out to a lot of my friends for a bit now and I feel more like myself than I ever have before and it's so nice.
I understand if it takes a little bit to adjust, luckily I have no ill will towards "Brady" as a name, but I would very much prefer Baylynn.
It just feels more accurate to me. As for nicknames/shortenings, Lynn and Bee are both great. Murkiri is still good too.
ty for taking the time to read this if you did :)
the team prep is done for the Iron Man and I have all the mons in game. Runs start soon. Videos return tomorrow bc i was prepping for this oops. Here's a tier list for the Iron Man :)
