Choose Your Starter but you Ban One Pokémon and Pick From Two

[@OG-PranksterCat]

This format is awesome, 10/10 please do this one with everyone else in the group too ✌️

[@3Scuba]

Yea I loved this idea, was great!

[@CarlosThadeu]

I agree 100%

[@ToastyGhostyReborn]

They should do this tournament format with group

[@axelblaze4088]

Luke is probably the only one in history who put the fear of Carbink in his opponent 💀

[@clashof6d]

Pokemon showdown balanced hackmon players: am i a joke? I used prankster carbink with things like cotton guard and body press or just full hazards

[@Toad4Smash]

bro has never played Pokemon go

[@alexheldman]

I love the main concept of having your opponent take away one of your 3 options each round, and the fact that the method of revealing each mon changes every round makes it even more exciting to see how things play out! I always enjoy the wheel videos and other things that offer more options, because they lend themselves to more open opportunities to create unique concepts and create awesome content from it

[@Knoddelfratze]

Genuinely my favorite type of format. Getting completely random mons, never ever uses is just way more fun than 1-2 legendaries in your team the whole time

[@amitojsingh2952]

Here is a wild idea. You have six rounds from where you select one pokemon from the starters and then reveal to your opponent the other options to choose from. And vice versa. So this way you have the advantage of knowing what pokemon are there and can select type advantage.

[@TheCrow938]

I love how you guys still come up with new ideas for then we fights and it still has me hooked every time a video pops up. Keep up the good work

[@DS_1123]

Hey Luke, love the vids. Love these new formats you guys are coming up with. Keep up the great work.

[@DanteDelahaye]

"i will ban the middle" bans swadloon on the left

[@numberhunter62]

Middle number not middle Pokemon, after all the category could have been said in any order.

[@tbone6032]

Earlier when he said I’ll ban the middle he meant the one with middle stats which was an umbreon on the right. Assumed same logic

[@jamesh6846]

​@numberhunter62 i was gonna say i miss understood what he meant by middle, i thought middle mon not the middle number

[@TheBomberman122]

Middle stat, played yourself

[@ryanbennett3443]

Middle mon or middle number, both answers are griednet

[@Astral_thee_God]

This is such a fun concept. I’d definitely like to see more videos like this with the other guys And I love the Bleach shirt 😭

[@KVO723]

“Because he’s DLC, I’ll take the Poochyena” meanwhile the Lotad who’s also DLC 🥺

[@seanmills7255]

That crit at the end 💯% mattered

[@luigimanzelli3786]

i mean it may have mattered but Ursaluna living with like 10% would not have made a difference, specs Gothitelle comes in and kills it so the game was over anyway.

[@luckylee53]

I was screaminggggg "Gameboy Luke, Gameboy Luke" at that Draco Meteor and lost my mind on the crit

[@BlessTheMoonLP]

This might be the greatest idea for a Pick/Ban format, please do more of this!

[@tyrantbjy]

Really like this concept, great job

[@sirknightjcb9310]

Love this format! I think the next video like this could be the same one as this, but the other player not only bans the chosen Pokemon, but also chooses which of the two they'll pick, and whether or not they feel massive regret from banning a very good mon.

[@dylanrobinson4658]

High energy Luke is the best!

[@devontekuykendall3565]

An idea, each player gets to do trivia and for every right answer, they get to ban a pokefor the other player, but if they get it wrong, the other gets to ban one for them.

[@memmalarkeygaming7152]

Definitely want to see more of this! The format is so fun😊

[@stevendiggle5393]

Love the new sound effects for HP. Very “Gameboy Luke” style

[@Auroralights321]

15:09 That part made me laugh so hard. Luke was like "HUH?!"

[@MunchlaxAttacks]

Love the creativity in this video really great stuff!

[@DylanThompson9063]

Great video guys. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personalities.

[@lukeillig7126]

This is such a cool video format!

[@demilettucee3657]

God the video ideas keep getting more unique with each passing videos. Please keep this up man👍

[@MychelHenson]

7:47 “I want to ban the Pokémon in the middle.” *bans the Swadloon on the left* 😅

[@Mrloophole]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that 😂

[@AnteChao]

Could of been middle number tbh.

[@Unyubaby]

He did it earlier in the video too with Ursaring, was so confused.

[@Charbified]

It was the value in the middle, not the middle pokemon

[@alexheldman]

4:25 this moment... the rare GBL slip has happened, probably because of his banter with Tobin up to that point, he probably got thrown off behind the scenes by Tobin... might be starting to rub off on him 😅😅😅😅

[@plynovy3718]

Tobin with the route 1 team going hard

[@maxisfrom101]

I LOVE this format! Hope to see it come back!

[@KitsuneNoMeiji]

This might be my favorite of these formats so far.

[@ben-gm6iy]

LUKE I LOVE THE SHIRT YOURE WEARING IN THIS VIDEO!!!! BLEACH FANS RISE UP🙌🙌🙌

[@joshkitto3943]

Is it cannibalism to give an Appletun Leftovers?

[@volts6286]

Like I just finished steins gate cause you recommended it, I loved it. Thanks for the recommendation

[@Indra-w7d3y]

fallinks height is probably so high because it like many entities but they’re actually just one. so they measure one’s height and multiply it cuz there’s like 5 of them or so

[@bobdog808]

I love that Tobin completely ignores the burn😭

[@PGFarhanOP]

Next Video:- We choose our Randomised Starters by only seeing their eyes 🔥🔥

[@avenguard9503]

Battle Idea: The Vowel Language Battle - Use the 3 starter method for picking mons, random abilities and moves, 3 skips each - Trainer 1 Reveal the Pokemon names, but only the vowels in the name - Trainer 2 picks any consonants, any that may appear in the above mons names is revealed (Wheel of Fortune style) - Trainer 2 then makes a guess and picks there choice, then all Pokemon are revealed. If they guess right, they may choose any of the choices for themselves OR get a free skip if they are all trash - If Trainer 2 guessed wrong, Trainer 1 picks which of the 3 Pokemon is going on Trainer 2 team, unless a skip is used. - Consonants picked are reset each round, unless you guessed right, then it carriers over to all future rounds. This stacks

[@DerekLamar-l4g]

floatzel is my fav, usually i’m cheering for luke, now im rooting for tobin, u better win tobin

[@heath9656]

Love this format!

phalinks is the definition of the boys hyping you up...9 ft 10"! dayum 😂

[@marnusnaude6489]

I love your challenges always such unique ideas best of luck form South Africa

[@PiggyBonkers0309]

3:58 I think you accidentally used his speed stat. Barreskewda is physical Aah nvm.

[@MadlenHoffmann-o8x]

Carbink should evolve into Diancie!

[@RangerPossum]

Vid idea: spin wheel 6 times for abilities and then 15 minutes to catch Mons to best fit

[@apricot8301]

This is such a creative format woah

[@PoetlyGacha]

Ooo cool idea! Hope to see this idea again in the future!

[@miawab4615]

"bird up", lol love the eric andre reference

[@judaiyuki5597]

petition for a new held item a consumable called softening cream that activates upon entering battle the user becomes more susceptible to critical hits for abilities like anger point

[@MSLBRAWL]

You guys should set up for a tag team double battle someday!

[@SeaWolf337]

When they said mightyena should have a paradox I thought they should have a split evolution one a huge wolf (fenrir) and a wearwolf in a mythology based region

[@butlerian1765]

I love this format GBL

[@Snifflus]

You had me at banning

[@itsavias]

Amazing Type Of Content

[@mercedeskv8389]

I love this format!!

[@Cauxy]

love this roulette format

[@Almightycabrone11]

Top 10 videos I have ever seen u came in 4th place

[@venomgaming7014]

You know what they say. Tails never fails.

[@paintspot]

Loved the video! Also, just a minor little thing - Clauncher is [1 ft 8 in] and not [1 ft 0.8 in]! :D -Paintspot Infez Wasabi!

[@byakko6]

Tobin really frustrated me this video. Banned Chimchar my favourite evolition line and didn't pick Tynamo my second favourite line

[@Meca-Mat]

[7:45] I am so confused. He said "ban the middle one", but he banned the first one.

[@aprilhippie8752]

2:13 Tobin? 😳

[@lynxfangr]

IM SO HAPPY YOU PICKED POOCHYENA!!!!!!! MY BABY BOY NEVER GETS PICKED!!!!!!!

[@klgonzwastakenbymydad]

Be funny if the person who banned also chose, bc then they’d be told the pokemon they banned, good or bad, and the ones they get to choose from now.

[@eliot1571]

Very good video🎉

[@phantomwolf9771]

Carbink and mightyeana put in work

[@AliRashid-f2l]

I love the Dlc Pokémon I love Intermediate

[@optimuscj1066]

Might be one of fastest times i click on a new vid

[@juice6129]

Love the video you should do a video where AI Pick your team...

[@zachumi7245]

I think if palafin shows up should flip coin but only after its chosen so you got 50/50 of good mon or bad mon

[@yukikitsune7366]

I honestly expected Luke to say that spelling colour that way was the correct way.

[@marshtomp8]

Oh wow, a draft pick? Nah there's no way /any/ Pokemon game could ever need this.

[@clintcook8691]

Bros really out here choosing Donphan over Electross💀

[@numberhunter62]

If Tobin Terastalizes just assume it's Fairy, 9 times out of ten it'll be the right guess.

[@jacobfilms7005]

5:26 that’s how you spell colour in Canada too😂

[@cosmicfae2824]

You were one of the first poketubers I really got into and it led me to everyone else. Obviously I left back in 2019 when everything happened but I’m excited to try again. Starting with you, my first and the OG. Thank you GBL for still being here for real

[@constantinewelches2741]

Would be cool to see a "15 mins to catch pokemon in pokemon go then we fight"

[@constantinewelches2741]

Love this video too tho. Very fresh concept

[@Charbified]

Problem is, if you're not in a really heavily populated area you get nothing haha

[@DerekLamar-l4g]

nvm he sacked floatzel, let’s go luke!

[@ashngoyuchiha215]

Missed will o on a flame orb switch in 😂

[@SiebayPlays]

So because Ursaring doesn’t evolve into Bloodmoon, would that be considered a paradox or is it more along the lines of Wiglett vs Diglett?

[@codyjones3311]

It’s very unique, but I think it’s more of a regional variant, if you want to classify it more generally.

[@lordtoomas]

It's basically a regional variant

[@tehesprite502]

Neither, it's the equivalent of Cosplay Pikachu or the LG Eevee & Pikachu. Specific individuals of their species.

[@nateevenson2499]

When they rolled the special attack as the 3rd category, why were they listing the speeds? Did they just forget?

[@GreyFireClover]

After Luke chose his Pokemon he realized he was accidentally reading speed instead of special attack so they just switched it to speed

[@nateevenson2499]

@@GreyFireClover Yeah, I paused it to look up the stats and then wrote this, but then I continued watching and he did mention. Thanks man.

[@kameronhogg491]

I’d love a spin on this where the person that can see the Pokémon chooses to ban 1 Pokémon and then the other person has to choose of the other 2 Pokémon based on the wheel but they get 1 override where they can choose the banned Pokémon

[@HelloItsMikkan]

Well ssomeone just told a bold faced lie then went with it.

[@SHOWCROW-u3F]

Bro can't tell left from middle 😂😂😂

[@chrispabon5491]

Luke I just got my pillow it’s so soft and is a nice weight I love it thank you so much

[@GameboyLuke]

Glad you like it!

[@goodhelmetjunior3399]

2:43 because he’s DLC… Luke they were all DLC moms.

[@wiebehoogveld9607]

nice and cool format

[@klgonzwastakenbymydad]

“Small ones can be good.” He has spoken 🫡

[@ReversalCid]

hey luke, I've had a question that I haven't asked for a long time. How do you emulate your game to randomize it? I don't know how to do any of this and I would love for you to tell me how to.

[@petey2272]

Another amazing collaboration with Patterrz and Shady.. according to the description 🌝

[@Azurious]

Never underestimate Greedent

[@tylerprince6371]

This was an interesting idea, but i think it would be even better if you weren't able to evolve what you pick

[@YaoiFan22]

8:01 Pretty sure the weight was for the Hero Form.

[@thatonemusicguy7723]

Under an hour crew!

[@RealNitetales]

I’ll have you know Tera Swanna picked up 2 kills in draft league for me today, so…

[@hostgammamon]

Was I the only person who watched the diancie movie and then when playing Pokémon y that carbink evolved into diancie? (All I remember is before I encountered carbink I watched the diancie movie but I don’t remember if I started y before or after watching the movie.)

[@bjrn2010]

Only watched intro so far, but great concept.

[@velvetbutterfly]

Are you playing these matches on emulator or official hardware?

[@DemonKingZhou]

Bro thought we wouldnt notice the Bleach shirt W TybW really hits

[@Aaron__Parker]

Yo Luke, Pokemon have an official color given to them. It'd probably be better to use that for "color." Edit: Yeah, some of the colors don't make sense. Just like some of the heights *cough* falinks *cough* don't make sense.

[@Daltonownzyoulol]

it also doesnt make sense half the time lol

[@UberVilla]

yeahhhhhh but so many of those “official” ones are just wrong when you look at the mon haha

[@MoonlarkSpirits]

Spoink is black-

[@MackMyWorld]

You mean better as in more helpful or better as in more entertaining to the viewer because the official coloring for some of them are just-

[@nickdentoom1173]

Like, thats the problem with feet being used as the measurements instead of meters. For meters, Falinks does make sense (3 meters in length), while meters is also measured for height. But i guess they used feet else the Americans who don't know the metric system don't understand it (Despite the majority of the world not understerstanding the imperial measurement).
