Gotta be honest, Captain Kidd intentionally sacrificing all the Pokemon almost made me not want to finish the video. Ludwig's was at least funny, and it wasn't right at the end of the run, so there was time to fix it. Ludwig made it entertaining by giving it the twist of "I seemed like I was helping but actually I'm being petty!" Kidd was straight up from the start he was killing them because they were too good, not any entertaining reason or method. It wasn't fun, especially after seeing how much effort got put into that Lucario. Honestly I only kept going because Eric getting attached to the pokemon at the beginning made me want to see if he got more pokemon to be attached to... PChal and Smant's sections were my favorites, they were what I was hoping the whole run would be... people working together.

Even Alpharad put an effort in his “I don’t give a $&€£¥@ about these Pokémon” without reaching the cringe area, because he didn’t want to lose.
