The hardest Worlds EVER is upon us...

[@beastcoastpokemon]

Hey everyone! We have an RSS feed that publishes to KZbin for anyone who wants to listen to audio versions of these, and it looks like it posted that publicly before we could send the video version out. Our apologies! Links to other audio channels are available in the description, and if you're a KZbin member we'll plan to publish these a day early for you to listen back! Thanks for supporting!

I’m rooting for you James. Go get that trophy legend!!!!

[@TheRevmack]

Aaron needs to fix his mic, it shouldn’t be booming. Either his cables are messed up or his input device is switched unbeknownst to him (e.g. his earpods mic is being used as the input as opposed to his shure).

[@skimaskedabi]

Mic gain is probably too high imo as a professional audio engineer or his compressor got shut off (he mentioned he started using compression and a noise gate 2 years ago roughly)

[@ETyC45]

I had to turn off the video after 5 minutes because I couldn't handle Aaron's sound quality.

[@ratdoto2148]

Does anyone else prefer formats which allow two restricted Pokémon over one?

[@adriano_cruciani]

Not exactly prefer but I would like to play a double restricted format since I would like to use Dialga or Palkia without “trolling”. Plus in a single restriced format the restricted in question always fills the role of the attacker or the sole King piece

[@ratdoto2148]

@@adriano_cruciani The sole king piece aspect is why I hate it. In my opinion formats with no restricteds lack polarisation, but formats with only one are too polarised. I think two is perfect.

[@cadenkeefer6270]

Completely agree. I definitely prefer either no restricted or 2. At least 2 makes it easier to team build with an off meta pick

I want Aaron Cybertron Zhang or James Baek to win worlds or at least make it Top 8

[@squidlord9110]

Incineroar not winning worlds is a wild prediction. Holy

[@supermariomaker1734]

Incineroar greatest strength is that it is a great team member and it’s a simple member to add to a team. The downside is that people know this which means they have ways to easily remove it or take out other members that it needs to succeed and it’s other weakness is that it stands out which means in world it could be the first Mon attacked or they can predict a parting shot so that other members could be eliminated. The goat is not safe from defeat but it’s possible it can still win cause its strengths outweighs its weaknesses.

[@cuerdencats4151]

I don't really get why people aren't pairing Koraidon, Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane, It's so nice to get the boost without needing Booster Energy

[@bradychapman5645]

Here is my take on it, Koraidon’s ability or just weather effects in general are the foundation for your house. Having a house on top your foundation is better than just having a foundation for obvious reasons, however, it’ll hurt significantly more if the foundation fails and the entire house comes crumbling down. Essentially, teams don’t want to be completely devastated and out of options when they inevitably find a team that shuts down their weather conditions, which in this core’s case, would shut down half the team’s function, and 75% if you brought all 3 of these Mon’s into a given battle.

[@bradychapman5645]

To continue a little more with the analogy, it hurts a lot more having the entire house come crumbling down on you with its full weight than it would if your foundation is just cracking or breaking apart. It’s just better to not rely on a mechanic so heavily that WILL inevitably fail at some point through a tourney. This sort of analogy however doesn’t apply to the majority of pokemon though due to the fact that most don’t have a gimmicky mechanic that can boost their power that can be taken away in a snap.

[@Tine_of_Nice_Dreams]

Always excellent commentary, but Aaron your mic is too hot for some reason. The gain is too high maybe? A little distracting since everything else is so professional. Looking forward to seeing how worlds is going to go, wishing all of you the best.

I’m fairly confident his input is being switched to either his earpod mic, his webcam mic, or his computer’s default input. The Shure mic should not be that boomy
