It definitely stood out being an off meta pick and being a Pikachu clone probably also drew a lot of attention. I'm sure people were sick of seeing a bunch of Garchomps, Charizards and Tyranitars being spammed on every team as well so why not cheer for the underdog. Plus, the rest of Sejun's team also ran sets that wouldn't really be considered "standard" for his pokemon either so there's that as well.

Something really awful about this event was how many people, in seeing Sejun as the underdog, suddenly decided Jeudy was some evil person who represented the bad side of competitive Pokemon. People psychoanalysed him and spoke about him like some evil movie rival and not just a guy who plays Pokemon. They also conveniently ignored that if anything, Jeudy was the underdog with less wins than Sejun but that wouldn't make the narrative as compelling I guess. It felt outright racist at points with how much slander and abuse Jeudy got and I genuinly feel bad that he was cast as the "villain" in the public's eye for not using an unusual Pokemon :/

I remember playing a Platinum nuzlocke some time ago. Found a Pachirisu and hated it, but still I named him Pachinko and added to the team, and oh boy, he ended up being my win condition at the Pokèmon league. He survived almost until the end, when I sadly had to sacrifice him to safely take out a Bronzong. But still, Pachinko will forever be in my memory.

Better analogy for the Pachirisu: Know how, where, and when to use your favorite pokemon so that when the time comes, you can make use of it's unique strengths and weaknesses. This is why pokemon make resurgences as anti-meta picks throughout competitive history. Although it's hard to just come up with something like that, if you can manage to do enough work with a pokemon, there is a niche for it somewhere. Maybe not in VGC, but in smogon at least, I've found my greatest successes with this attitude. Using things that your opponent won't expect while choosing them specifically to counter pokemon most commonly used in the metagame is exactly how and when a meta progresses, and I think that's what's happening in this case. Also this format is super cool, and I'd like to see more like this covered by Wolfe who has a keen understanding of how this metagame works.

Sejun won Korean Nationals that year with Mega Gyarados and Aerodactyl. Also Sejun made Pachi popular but it wasn’t that uncommon of a Pokémon in the South Korea circuit and he wasn’t the first person to use it there. South Korea was known for pioneering interesting and uncommon meta calls. Ray Rizzo won a regional that year using assault vest competitive wigglytuff which he got the idea from the Korean players who pioneered it

I've never been a competitive player so most of this in general was hard to keep up with, but this was very interesting. It seems to me that doubles are easier than singles bc of support members that don't need to be switched in. Which is interesting bc 90% of Pokemon at least in game involves single battles.
@creative5085
@creative5085 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, what you should know is that singles format is an incredibly unbalanced mess of a format which is why VGC doesnt run it. Its a nightmare to balance, (just look at smogon, an unofficial singles format ruleset) and all the clauses and bans that are in place as an attempt to keep singles format balanced. (Lol, some clauses are actually jokes)

That was a great video idea, I would love to see one on other great teams and players, especially 2016, as I think the team you built with markus and other was an amazing meta call that surprised everyone by breaking a meta core that looked unstoppable all year long.

It wasn't because it was his favourite. It was a very specific Pokémon along with a lot of luck and skilled predictions through rounds was what ultimately got him the win. There's many situations where when team building, you'll end up with one, overlooked Pokémon that fit your team magically. I.e. my weirdest pick was normal weezing and I got 3rd in an online tournament because of it.

some pokemon are weak battlers on their own but can be good battlers when having support from other stronger pokemon meaning pokemon that are normally considered weak battlers can win battles from the power of team work and friendship which is 1 of pokemons main themes.
