This is a clever ruse to trick everyone into thinking that this really isn’t a Yugioh youtube channel

[@ink3487]

Isn't this a team fortress channel?

[@HesGotaGun505]

Right down to that Natu profile pic. A Janus in our midst.

[@parkinglotmosh4360]

so glad to have a showdown guy who has both an actual personality and doesnt edit their replays in a way that gives me migranes luv ya

[@TheGreatDanish]

Are you telling me you don't like to hear "RUH ROH RAGGY" every time Zacian is on screen?

I swear some of the showdown KZbinrs are 13 year olds with less attention span that a goldfish

[@craigolemay6674]

It took Gamefreak eight generations but they finally figured out how to make a bear that was good. Who knew that the secret all along was just to teach the bear karate?

[@MusicoftheDamned]

I mean...Snorlax is a bear, and that thing was/is borderline broken in the first two gens even as much as it's fallen off. Between that, Urshifu, and the upcoming Ursaluna, it's like Gamefreak either makes bear mons really good & borderline broken or that they're at best barely usuable, with Bewear occupying some weird middleground.

[@craigolemay6674]

@@MusicoftheDamned huh that’s an interesting take, I never thought of Snorlax as a bear, but I can see it

[@MusicoftheDamned]

@@craigolemay6674 That's fair. It's probably fairer to say that Snorlax is "bear-like" than directly a bear, especially when the "next" bear mon Game Freak made was essentially just a real life bear with a yellow moon insignia on it, i.e. Ursaring. Amusingly this discussion just made me realize that Ursaluna will literally be the first fully evolved bear mon that stands on all fours; all the other bear mons except for Stufful have been bipedal, even Snorlax's lazy self once it got around to standing up full time after two decades.

[@chromosocks202]

Dude honestly, I'll watch what you post. I just love the raw shit that comes out of your mouth it is amazing. No showdown youtuber has such interesting playstyle and raw sarcasm as you do.

[@ImortalZeus13]

I used to watch BKC vods before Reverend. I’m never going back

[@courtneys.7113]

your weatherball landorus cracks me up every time. i think i'm gonna get tired of the joke when yet another person switches in their lando and dies but it just doesn't stop being funny

[@Vernatio]

I love the replay vids but tbqh I really enjoy most anything you put out and I trust your sense of humor and editing skills with just about any project you take on!

[@froodman42]

Wow, that intro unlocked a room in my memory palace where I found NU teams with a golurk named gigantor and a ghost master lp. You can make whatever stuff you want and my dumb ass will enjoy it.

[@HumanReverend]

Man I gotta bring back gigantor one day, for the culture

[@TWLSpark]

Instructions unclear. I'm about to sacrifice my Lechunk in the name of my god, Arctozolt.

[@HumanReverend]

Ave Satana

[@Spuun]

I see straight through your ruse. This isn't a hail team video at all. This is a thinly VEILED screens Kommo-o video where you hit every focus blast, except the one that made me hit subscribe!

[@jordanthejq12]

You should absolutely keep this up! You're quite talented at it, of course, and it provides easy-to-produce content to satiate the masses (and introduce the video essay crowd you pulled in to your usual style and your back catalog) while you work on another long-form project, if you do have one in the pipeline. Also, Kommo-O sweeps are something else CHRIST WHAT IS THIS POKEMON.

[@HumanReverend]

Kommo-o is Every Setup Sweeper condensed into one pokemon

[@thebulletinmyhead]

Literally didn’t even notice your blow up in subscribers until you mentioned it, so glad other people are getting the chance to hear your excellent humor, love you

[@HumanReverend]

I'll remember you when I'm in a discord call with bkc talking about gen 5 nu for four hours

[@pircachupi4771]

I came here for the obscure pokemon meta commentary, but this video convinced me to binge through so many of your smogon team showcase videos and your humor is the funniest shit i've been graced with in so long, thank you for blessing me with this.

[@charizardAnthony94]

I dunno why, but the term 'It's a hedge' got me snickering more than it should've.

[@superfrubblez6123]

I only recently subbed after watching the two essay videos but then I watched p much all of the gen 8 replay videos it was great. I do love these videos much more than other showdown videos.

[@Torexyo0]

8:52 I don't know why this made me laugh so hard. Just, Kommo-o annihilating that Lele and your quick barely-acknowledgement made my day. Found you through the gen 1 vids, started watching your other stuff. Can never get enough of that good jank teambuilding and dry humor. Here's hoping this vid does well too

[@HumanReverend]

I've seen more kommo o sweeps than you could possibly imagine

[@gastrictank4916]

Just found your channel, and I gotta say I really love your videos. You're the only KZbinr around whom actually has engaging/funny narration, and with a voice, tone, and volume that is easy on the ears. Unlike others, the video editing jokes are excellent too- I appreciate you not falling back on a small handful of clips, sounds, effects, jokes, memes, etc. so that your gags don't get stale. Bless you for using Tim and Eric snippets, and not just the ones made popular through memes. They're a treasure trove of material and seeing stuff like "Just 3 Boyz" and other clips I've seen strewn about your videos is like concentrated serotonin injected directly into my cranium. No dragged out intro/outro, video abruptly ends on a good joke, it's all very grand. Your music choice is top notch too. Keep it up!

[@HumanReverend]

Sometimes I feel like a normie for all my clips being from adult swim shows but it really is just the best.

[@goldbug9353]

You've hit the big time, hotshot. Don't forget about all the little guys that were here for you along the way 🫡

[@jakedemes2084]

Ngl your replay vids are really fun because of your really dry humor as you're describing your games. Keep on keeping on, king.

[@dastardlydwarf6909]

Yo I’ve been watching your videos and I actually really like these vids, it’s cool to see well built teams so if you like making these vids keep Doing it bro.

[@HumanReverend]

It's nice to be able to finish a video in a week instead of a month sometimes

[@dastardlydwarf6909]

@@HumanReverend I mean obviously it’s up to you but if you are worried about not interesting new subscribers why not pepper 1-3 of these in between the longer videos if you plan on carrying on doing those.

[@HumanReverend]

Yeah that's the plan rn I think

[@marbleramirez6809]

Im glad i found your channel from the RBY videos bc your replays are also fire tbh

[@WarioLandIV]

I came here from the gen 1 video, but actually enjoyed your gen 8 content just as much, if not more!

[@marvingreenscreen9947]

i started warching your gen1 vids but honestly i love these even more cuz it gives me new ideas for crap to use on ladder and you have a spiffing charisma about you

[@Felixicity]

I've been watching your showdown replays for years, and I'm glad more people are watching them now. You're funny as hell and your narration is great, too.

[@metsislesfan]

OG gang rise up

[@mainlyjm]

The two essay videos where of fantastic quality, also the reason why I subscribed, but this video was also good. Keep up the great work!

[@volbla]

Got recommended the Useless Moves vid. Proceeded to binge all your commentaries from this year. You good.

[@screebing]

keep makin the replay videos! super entertaining love the editing

[@Gabiscis]

can't wait to see this channel blow up. it's exponential growth time babeyyy

[@TheVengefulVadam]

I'm glad you're finally getting the recognition you deserve as the best content creator that uploads Pokemon videos.

[@manjackson2772]

Your editing is crazy sick my guy. Keep it up.

[@AnvilPro100]

I subscribed for the "Usually Useless Moves" video but after watching your Gen 8 OU vids I like them a lot more and will stay for them probably

[@Dragonmist19X]

I found the channel through the two big uploads. But binged through a lot of the older showdown videos and they're pretty entertaining. So a new one is nice to see. Also found out how dope propane nightmares is.

[@delibirdite]

Love the vids regardless of what you upload :)

[@dragontamermeg5311]

Enjoying your vids! I love this team.

[@TwistedRosalia]

how does it feel being the funniest person on this site

[@mercenariamercenaria]

Discovered ur channel from the rby videos but the replay commentary vids like these are my favorite!

[@Unk0wnHope]

I subscribed because of specifically this video. Not the gen 1 videos, which I did watch, but this video.

[@tadeusz7732]

This is literally my favorite pokemon KZbin channel

[@5qu3l]

this channel is incredible

[@CoralReaper707]

2:25 right there is why I think that Hail losing it's chip damage in scarlet and Violet was a bad idea. I've always wondered how good hail would be if it gave the defense boost of ice types *AND* kept it's chip damage.

[@Bibbers]

i like this style of content!!

[@crumpetsancheese2197]

new reverend video!!! i've been bingewatching all your content so this is greatly appreciated! HAIL SATAN!

[@jamespainter4565]

The crab video is still the best video. Your shit goes hard. these videos in general absolutely fuck. The combination of your massively paint drying monotone voice and your deep cutting humor are a treasure.

[@justkita3890]

I just love your humor goddamn.

[@MioAppreciator]

i did find you via your gen 1 vids on recommended, but i subbed because you're a funny guy. i've watched most of your modern content including a goddamn yugioh video. since i have put in my watch time i get to demand videos now, so do some single-player stuff. my suggestion: a nuzlocke/other challenge run, or maybe a romhack. it worked for freezai and wolfey.

[@HumanReverend]

I've been thinking about potential stream games tbh

This video reminds me of how parents used to panic and think that Pokémon was satanic while completely ignoring the fact that Devil Children existed.

Before when you searched "reverend pokemon" the first result was a preacher in the 90s talking about pokemon being demons

Blacephalon dealing 33% to Kommo-o at -2 on a resisted move is kinda fucked up.

and yet it's still not a one shot on mandibuzz, the most goated bulky flying type of all time

​@@HumanReverend On god. All Mandibuzz have a special property that makes the opponent's moves do an absolute maximum of 90% when it's out.
