another issue that genning gets around is certain move tutor moves. Like back in FRLG, emerald and XD there were npcs you could talk to that would teach certain mons certain moves that they couldn't learn through normal gameplay once per save file. If you needed a gen 1-3 mon with one of these moves from XD being the worst case, you'd need a gamecube, a copy of xd, a gameboy-gamecube link cable, a gba, one of the gen 3 pokemon games, a nintendo ds, a gen 4 game, a gen 5 game, a 3ds, a switch, pokemon bank, pokemon home, and then finally scarlet/violet. You need to transfer the gc mon to the gba via the link cable, then use pal park to get to gen 4, then use ds download play to move from 4 to 5, then use bank to send them to home.

Great explanation, too many "ummmm" tho!

"pokemon company cares about their brand image" hahahahahahahahaha how do they taste?

Dude i spent so much time to fihure out what game this was about its literally impossible to tell Please put it in title/description

you take way too long to get to the point

the move metronome does in fact count as gambling. and it is technically illegal to gamble according to korean law. they saw something wonkey with that move and said screw it we are done here, instead of issuing a warning.

As someone here by virtue of the KZbin algorithm, given that intro, it's a bit concerning I was over a minute in before realising this was a pokemon video and not a music video.

Pokemon , as usual, has done something to 💩 on its fans and or others Involved in its community. For what? Ego.

Good vid, but as someone from outside the scene, that part about hacked poke.on saving you time was absurd. The comparison to "do unemployed people have an advantage" is the exact type of reductive bad faith argument he says everyone else is making. Time advantage in prep is an advantage, full stop.

The old intro gives me life

Banning players for using randomized a thing huh. Sure would be a shame if that was a thing outside Metronome. >Sleep/Frozen recovery >Magnitude >Multi hit moves without a fixed number >any offensive move in the entire game causing Critical Hits

i got this video randomly recommended to me and I cannot figure out what game he is talking about LMAO

Asian man only likea 2 thing Numba 1 is da rice, Numba 2 is da gambling

A shame the protest didn't make it past the BS detectors, but if they had full move sets and only used Metronome or moves with poor accuracy it may have made the big stage.

Is there any updates to this? What has happened in the last year and a half since this ?

maybe its just me, but why on earth did you leave the green screen just green. xD literally could have made it black or something. XD i didnt watch the video, i listened to it XD because that shit is eye straining after ten minutes lol metronome only is a crazy but also i think they got their point a crossed xD

Ik blissey proved building a team is a collosal pain in the ass so i dont blame them.

Hey, I just wanted to say that for someone who doesn't watch your channel, you really did not make the topic of the video clear. There is no hint in the thumbnail, title, or description. The earliest mention of context is when you mention VGC at 1:24 , which only helps those who knows that that stands for. At 1:40, we get another hint as you drop the well known name "Nintendo" And it's only at 2:40 that you finally mention Pokémon. That's over 2:30 minutes where someone who isn't in the know will be very confused.

Uhhm bro uhhm i uhhhhm can’t listen to uhhm this uhhm

Ugh, I never thought The Pokemon Conpany would sink so low to disqualify several players for using Metronome, a move that relies entirely on luck. They really need to do better or else they will face serious consequences.

TPC really needs to stop with like this hands on hands off approach to their competitions. They either need to fully support them existing or keep letting all this kind of stuff happen

Game freak should get more time to finish their games instead of releasing half-baked unfinished games

Nintendo shutting down a whole symphony rehearsal cause theres too many metronomes

SNORE

DQing for using a legal in game move . Sounds like a smogon thing with banning moves

What? This is ridiculous, metronome is 100% based on luck for it to work and why the hell did they get banned for using a move that relies entirely with luck?

everyone run metronome

why shouldnt be using only metronome be a viable strat? If the rules are not stating Metronome is banned- whatever. Next time consider stalling the timer with none damage moves.

As someone who is returning to pokemon after not playing for a while, and is interested in getting into vgc, I'm just not going to. I don't have all of the games in the series, let alone all of the dlcs. I don't have Calerx, or Urshafoo, or any of the genies. It's just not worth the up front cost.

So like if I wanted to bring gengar to worlds how does TPC expect me to evolve it with no trading

Stop playing the RIGGED SPOTLIGHT GAME!!!!!!!!

I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t play pokemon anymore, and I’ve never been involved in the TCG or VGC. This just popped in my recommended and I was curious and wanted to share my thoughts. I know you guys take this seriously, and I don’t blame you one bit for being upset, but expecting a company like TPC to actually care about anything besides money is just foolish. It’s the same with WotC, lots of big AAA game studios and the big game publishers. They’ve been infested with lawyers, along with outside bean counters, corporate marketer’s, and C-Suite managerial types with no real connection to the IP’s that they make money off of. Basically any competitive scene that isn’t grassroots and built by the players themselves tends to be like this or turn into this, as far as I’m aware of. It’s why Nintendo hates the competitive Smash scene and has repeatedly tried to shut them down, and it’s why the rest of the FGC in general is largely so successful. At the end of the day, all they care about is money. Don’t ever forget that. The only reason they even hold TCG tournaments is to advertise and sell the cards, and the only reason the have the VGC is to advertise and sell the games. It is a marketing expense. That’s it. They’re going to spend as little money and effort as possible, and as soon as it isn’t profitable they’ll stop paying for it. You’re better off building your own league and holding your own tournaments because you, presumably, actually give a shit about the competition itself rather than the value that it generates for the company. I wish you guys luck, and I hope it gets better, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

they really green screened his ass onto a green screen

TPC: YOur pokemon were hacked So how do you legitimately obtain Calirex for example in Gen 9 without someone else giving you one, buying another product or getting it "hacked" in? Make the game correctly and people won't hack

Lily voiced Iono in Masters EX, yes? So Jacob technically battle Iono IRL.

How dare you question our perfect decisions?! 🤬🤬

Idk if this is a dumb idea, but why not record the top 16 matches as a fail safe so if power goes out, the recording is there for the players to repeat the exact moves up to when the disconnect happened?

Theres rng like conditions such as confused but it seems more fair this way than sudden death as described

The Pokemon Company has been worthless for years.

05:20 Ah yes, here we go, racism. So he is just a nazi that wants to murder everyone that isnt 100% aryan, great.

It's been 3 minutes so far and I've got absolutely zero idea what you're talking about or what this channel is about.

if the circuit gets cut, at least 3th party circuits get the opportunity to rise. Many other esports have been organised by 3th parties when the original creators didn't care to.

its funny that one problem i have with competitive is how bland the pokemon/move pool is, and the one time something that could be interesting shows up they ban everyone.

Not gonna lie, a Metronome tournament would be hype to watch.

Metronome Strategy 🏆🐐🖤

it took like 3 minutes before I knew what game this video was abouth

KZbin recommended this to me and I had no idea the context and assumed some esports team managed to cheat somehow using a physical metronome

Imo Open Team Sheets are good for the overwhelming majority of players, the equalizer for newer players is relevant as you mentioned but also your opponent doesn't have to pilot their team around too much uncertainty. I really hope they come back

I use a pokemon generating program (I don't play competitive, I just hadn't found a better way to transfer between emulator files) that checks for the legality of a pokemon both on generating and on reading. So if I, for exemple, try to create a snivy, give it like... swim, and say it was caught in pokemon ruby, it will complain. It'll still let me create the snivy, but it will very explicitly not be valid for tournaments. Without knowing the system that TPC uses to check, it's hard to comment, but I don't see any reason for them not to use a similar check. But who knows, maybe they did the math and came to the conclusion that banning every hacked pokemon, even if it's inherently not different from one generated by the games, is worth it to catch the cheaters in the middle. I (as one of the people who don't compete but have an opinion on the matter, yes) don't think that, as long as a pokemon has characteristics that it doesn't have legitimately, it would make much difference in the tournament itself, yet rules are rules, and if the rule is "no hacked mons allowed," then it's no hacked mons allowed, and you're taking a risk by knowingly bringing them aboard. A shame for situations like the Cresselia guy, though.
