Awesome Tournament Rounds in the Pokemon Pocket Creator Invitational

[@QuartzZsite]

If they ever turn pokemon tcg pocket into an esport, I'd love to see Jeff as one of the casters/commentators

[@6ftmouse349]

Straight up he was amazing. When Jeff isn’t doing politics he’s absolutely amazing

[@Riccardo_can]

​@@6ftmouse349 I think you're in the wrong channel my friend, and I would bet your talk would get you banned in chat, which is exactly why I like Jeff

[@TheSleepingStormie]

​@@6ftmouse349 for sure

[@AlestorStone22]

The commentary on this was AWESOME. If there are ever any official tourneys, hope you get picked as caster.

[@maherthemage1458]

I hope you can/get to do more commentating! Really informative and entertaining. You bring some serious energy into it. Especially with Jacob as co-commentator! 😄

[@MichaelCarulli]

Loved the commentary! Looking 2, 3, or even 4 turns ahead, plus the play lines, strategies, and mistakes can help us all play better!

[@ALeftyGoth]

This is ✨stunning✨ commentary. Just super insightful and layered. Shows a lot of knowledge of lines of play and the depth of choices actually going on in these matches. Just super cool.

[@KidTelly]

I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary on these matches, Jeff! Great stuff.

[@hudsonherndon8645]

Wish you could’ve won, but I really liked your commentary. It helped me see the strategic depth in the game that I missed at first glance

[@DeebzDunecat]

Excellent commentary! The inclusion of the dude with awesome hair was a bold choice, but it worked 😂

[@RandomCrappyName]

Absolutely love the commentary video and would definitely watch more like it

[@YoumuusLive]

Hey Jeff thanks for the commentary im watching this now while eating and its a blast ! Some comments I wanted to make are if u see me throw potions / xspeeds "away" its usually me playing around red card so I don't lose cards. Haha also I think Red card is one of the best cards in the game which is why its in both my decks. I almost always red card blind if it can "discard" a card from the enemy hand.

[@bryanroth7248]

Raven played that stellar. I'm also so glad to see weezing arbok take a huge W. My favorite 2 cards in the game

[@DAntiprodukt]

"Dab on them Jacob!"

[@wowzers94]

Really enjoyed the commentary on these matches. Would love to see more of this if the opportunity arises!

[@waranddeath6936]

Watched it live. It was FANTASTIC. Im even rewatching some games now, congrats on your content Jeff

[@jeremychristie7750]

I don’t comment often on KZbin videos I watch, but I’ve throughly enjoyed watching you and all you’re pocket content. Keep it up!

[@K9QM3]

Misty: "I mean, it's one Ice Beam, Raven. How much could it cost? Nine energy?"

[@spartanner9178]

5:53 Spooky how the hand gestures of Youmuus lined up with Jeff's voiceover for a couple seconds.

[@benmastar]

This was great. please post more! this is high quality commentary from a high quality gamer and content creator.

[@rexstillbottom7572]

Love your commentary and insights, makes your channel the best for real information and entertainment. Keep up the great work!

[@mcaelm]

This was surprisingly exciting to watch. Great commentary!

[@alexanderbomboy9653]

Really learned a lot by the end, and I thought it was wholesome seeing your son learn things watching behind you and hearing the commentary after every play. Apologies for my 'dilhole' comment, I must've gotten the wrong vibe, but awesome work as always, I love all your bounce deck highlights bro 👊

[@mattlepinski]

This is a great video. Anyone who thinks battles in Pokemon Pocket are too simplistic should watch this video. There are a lot of interesting card designs in the first set and I can't wait for more cards to be released. Pocket TCG could have a really bright future ahead.

[@Likeitis96]

Already watched the whole vod over the course of the day, but wanted to leave a comment saying i rly enjoyed the casting aswell as your thought prozesses during your matches. Very satisfing good plays payed of in the finals. Would love more casting or turnament footage. Also maybe worth looking to cast vods of interesting turnament matches, but live cast is probably working better for live content.

[@Fike93]

Jeff I don't ever comment on videos but I had to say you're the only reason I tried Pokemon Pocket, and I somewhat enjoy it, not as much as Marvel Snap but it is a great casual game. Wish you good luck with this channel as well, I was following your Snap channel since the very beginning. Awesome content as always, keep it up.

[@shane2039]

It's hilarious at 54:05 watching Jeff and Phil talk through the exact same sequence of operations

[@conorreed3723]

Absolutely loved this video format, would love to see more tournament coverage from you Jeff and Jacob!

[@johnespinal7169]

Awesome work Yes this great choice for informative gameplay 🎉

[@hitmanguy]

godlike commentary hopefully you do more during other tournaments too

[@bsly137]

I'd love to see more content like this in the future.

[@swedishZ0mBi3]

I'm impressed how deep the strategy and decisions can be in this game, my early view from testing felt like the game is quite basic. I guess the game opens up more when I earn more cards and stuff like that. Nice commentary!

[@Element6273]

Fantastic commentary and analysis, great show!

[@betterthanyouish]

Great commentary and some really interesting games.

[@robertcote3488]

This was great! Love the tourney play and commentary!

[@roktecha]

absolutely great stream, kept me watching till the end.

[@DuckDoolittle]

55:50 Jacob: Even a Misty for Colorless energy Jeff: Misty only works on Water Types Jacob: Yeah but it would be funnier I don’t know Jeff, I think Jacob’s argument is airtight here 😂

[@samuelkurniawan1383]

that Will be a balance mistys, every deck can have it, heck even Golem can highroll and do 150 out of nowhere.

[@matthewsmith9358]

This was great and deserves more views!

[@mattgolins4064]

That was fun to watch and helpful to learn more high end tactics. Thanks!

[@CitedelRS]

Love the commentary!! More please ❤

[@dr34mv3iL]

Loved Jacob in the background of this one

[@Briggetchu25]

Basically the analysis on red card is that most decks aren't playing both potion and gio, which are both better in most situations. The only time red card is better is if you're playing mew (which you aren't) or hand scope, however if you are 1-1 on the red scope combo you are better off playing pokedex since that's a more consistent 2 card combo, so you're only playing red card if you are trying to STUFF your deck with trainer cards

[@alexanderfisher7261]

It is worth pointing out that in open decklist including a red card does pressure your opponent to play out cards that they otherwise would hold. There is upside to that pressure on your opponent in games that you don't play the red card. There were moments players had to play out cards they otherwise wouldn't to play around red card to at least a potential determent.

[@joek0620]

I love your high level analysys. Do more.

[@paulm2217]

This was really great!! Hope you do more.

[@chrisfitzpatrick8385]

Your son dabbing on the red card was the best!

[@alexeibordas5696]

Awesome commentary, more please!

[@mr.fluffypantz4150]

Love the commentary. Do you think your time doing official Pokémon unite commentary helped your skills, or did you already have most of those skills built from streaming?

[@HooglandiaPocket]

I don't think the Unite experience hurt, but I had a solid background in card game casting before landing that role as well.

[@elliottkashner8481]

This is great. Would love more like this.

[@johnnyribeiro7694]

I kinda liked your son participation in the video. He's fun ^^

[@TheTravlinLaundromat]

Jeff, I know it's hard to do the tournament casting, but this reminded me of when you would do your hooglandia opens. this was a cut above.

[@MiloThatch420]

“There’s no wrong way to eat this Reese’s” 😂 I’m gonna be using this more often in life.

[@MiloThatch420]

4:00 🕓

[@bbenedek8733]

Great video and commentary! Would also love to watch the game you've played.

[@dnl_002]

Al first i wasn't very sure about how complex can be the tournament scene in this game, but how mistaken i was, those were a very intense matches. In the end the best lesson i could learn is that the mind games play a very big role in how a game flows

[@bubonicusblightmasterofver6314]

Love this commentary. Keep it up man

[@carlegaier9087]

Liked the commentary

[@spearshaker7974]

Pocket is great if u stick with it for a day it clicks and u see the vast field of possibilities

[@AYooo_Its_D]

Yo Raven is a true card gamer! Solid commentary, my guy I'm thinking we got an ESport here 😅

[@osoperezoso2608]

Dude this got me so hyped. I need moooorrreee.

[@Lere]

Fantastic video and commentary

[@hioo3453]

Loved this video, so much fun

[@Tidusryan]

Great stuff Jeff.

[@Detton30]

Great commentary!

[@SagelyHijinks]

Wow, Raven played stellar!

[@Ambeastly]

this was amazing content

[@dopaliscious318]

Spragels always cracks me up

[@lelandhutchinson3374]

I miss your comentary on matches as much fun as your "normal" content is I feel like this is your strongest skill outside of competition play.

[@lelandhutchinson3374]

Also as I watch Jacob he is clearly studying you and trying to learn and absorb as much as he can.

[@cperception]

hey Jeff. what you think about the battle system? for me its quite fun, but its SOO unrewarding. i dont know how long a game like this can survive unless there are mechanisms like in marvel snap.

[@HooglandiaPocket]

I think not having predatory hamster wheels like a ladder makes the game more fun. If the game isn't rewarding for playing on its own, play something else.

[@cperception]

@ fair enough. Its still fun tho. More than i expected. Thanks for your response!

[@chrismartin3462]

Thoughts on Sandslash/Machamp Ex position in the current meta? Seeing a lot of success against the big decks with it

[@HooglandiaPocket]

It is very good when you curve out into Machamp on curve. Kind of clunky when you don't.

[@Frostyfern]

Only reason I can imagine yomez(idkifthatshowuspellit) using potion preemptively is ladder discipline from players red carding his potions away

[@polarised2844]

I learnt a lot watching this! Very fun video 🤌

[@DylskiTV]

What were the tourne rules Jeff? 2 Decks and when you win you have to swap to the other deck?

[@areyanceJr]

‏‪0:56 they forgot to snap that

[@MattMeerkat46]

Dabbing on the red card hahaha

[@ThanosHadTheRightIdea-n7m]

That KaptKerr misclick was unfortunate.

[@HooglandiaPocket]

He was dead regardless.

[@HeavyHitterz5322]

Can anyone explain the benefit of going first? It seems like going second is always more advantageous

[@HooglandiaPocket]

Going first is beneficial to stage one Pokemon with 1 energy attacks such as Weezing or Stage 2 Pokemon with 2 energy attacks such as Greninja. The popular decks right now all prefer to go second though yes for the energy advantage.

[@Briggetchu25]

Not that related to the matches but how do you get the gardevoir cosmetics? Is that for creators?

[@HooglandiaPocket]

It is a $23 bundle in the shop this first season.

[@rruhland]

3:47 I think decks are just too small to make Red Card all that good. Too easy to draw back good cards.

[@HooglandiaPocket]

Yep.

[@Epsi96]

I missed the live stream but was able to watch all of it with the VOD over on your Twitch page. Tyvm!

[@E8R0]

awsome 👍

[@aFoolsMartyr]

I think the Articuno deck is a bit overrated, way too much variance.

[@HooglandiaPocket]

Deck is 100% a gimmick more than anything.

[@Ragnarokandroll]

It seems like when they pull it off it’s like the equivalent of old Negative-Jane, but also like that deck when you miss you’re cooked

[@luc448]

Hey uhhhh you can't make a poisoned pokemon fall asleep can you? Didn't the Wigglytuff deck lose as soon as they hit the Poison Gas on the second Venusaur?

[@HooglandiaPocket]

This is incorrect. Those conditions stack.

[@luc448]

​@HooglandiaPocket I stand corrected. I was certain they couldn't and went and tested it myself-- you are correct. To anyone else who sees my comment: the only statuses that cannot coexist are Sleep, Confused, and Paralyzed. In the mainline TCG, these affects rotate the card instead of getting a marker. So that's why they can't stack. Whereas you can rotate a card with a poison token on it. Thanks for the intel.

[@boboyobo12]

Gosh misty is such a terribly designed card. It should just work like moltres and be flip 3 coins, why do this all or nothing things that completely desides the games she is in. it basically just makes non-games for each game she is involved in.

[@HooglandiaPocket]

This design makes misty significantly more powerful and consistent.
