He started off his KZbin career with Pokémon (Pokemandanlvl45) and now he played in the world's biggest Pokémon tournament. I'm proud of you Dan :)

Dan didn't just raise two kids. He raised an entire generation of KZbin. This guy is a legend and he continues to be a legend. He stays out of sterotypes and controversies. He still manage to make kids today laugh, and old kids with nostalgia.

It's always great to see the old guard coming back to the PTCG Community. I started back up myself after worlds 2022, and managed to claw my way to the invite after a similarly steep learning curve. I wish we could've caught up in person at EUIC, but if you're going to be carrying on into next season i'm sure we'll have that chance. Wishing you all the best moving forward. Your friend, (and former content writer if you remember that from 10+ years ago lmao) Oliver Barnett

[@Spoggyy]

Worlds 2022 was the one with the “perfection” deck as winner right?

[@arktick3926]

Keep up this type of content dan, i recently got sucked into the trading card game rabbit hole, and this one was top 3 easily man, so entertaining specially seeing a rusty player getting back into the game i had high hopes and you did pretty good considering you went to one of the biggest tournaments!, keep it up mate good job.

[@BolteckFox]

this was such a blast to watch! i'm hoping for more tcg content in the future. thank you, Dan! ^^

[@wisteriaaa_23]

It’s so cool that Pokémon started Dan’s career! My love for it developed from when I learned about Eevee. My irl nickname is Evie so I immediately got hooked. I noticed Dan also loved it, and my love for his channel also grew. I love this video so much, here’s to all the Poké-dan fans!!

Hi, Dan! I started watching your channel during the time you had the lab with Dr. Trayaurus (sorry if I spelled that wrong) and loved your Who's Your Daddy videos. Would you possibly play Kingdom Hearts? It's been around for ages and it's honestly one of the most lore-filled games I've ever played. I know you enjoy playing series and I thought I'd mention it. Thank you for making KZbin videos and making your mark in a lot of our childhoods. God bless!

Just want to say thanks to Dan for all he is doing. I never really watched him growing up or anything, but the Pokemon TCG player community is small, and we don't really have anyone to help us in regards to a good playing application. Him creating the new Leaf application gives us so much hope that we can play and connect together, without being stuck with Live. So thanks Dan.
