[@thatdiamondofhope]

Video idea. "Guess the shiny starter but we're colorblind". So 1 or more Pokémon are shiny, but the screen has to be grey scaled. If you can guess the shiny correctly, you can get any ability or an illegal move. If you guess incorrectly, the opponent chooses your Pokémon. You have to send a screenshot to each other of the randomized starters but they have to be grey scaled. I thought of this idea because of Tobin, who is colorblind. I don't know if this is possible, but it would be pretty cool for a video

[@Jj_c1706]

I second this, it would be a pain to go through all the filtering but you can adjust it each round as well to each specific type of color blindness!!

[@111games.]

some pokemon's shiny are very easy to notice but some of them are just pain to find out even without the filter

[@RogueRen]

You could do it, you would just had to add a filter in OBS and only look at the OBS preview rather than the game directly

Salazzle: (equipped with Life Orb or Leftovers or Lum Berry) *{Adaptability}* Lava Plume, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Aeroblast, Esper Wing/Earth Power *{Earth Eater}* Armor Canon, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Aeroblast, Luster Purge *{Levitate}* Armor Canon, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Aeroblast, Esper Wing/Earthpower

[@chuckokler7021]

There was a lot of potential, wasted by Persian…

[@priestesslucy]

The temptation to work Eruption in is real, since Salazzle is fast. But it's not fast enough to guarantee it gets off a full power eruption without a choice scarf that it doesn't have the necessary C to equip. Could go HARD with Adaptability and Tailwind or Stickywebs support. Might even be worth the fire terra if you got it set up, but it is gimmicky

[@priestesslucy]

@@chuckokler7021 what set would you have given Persian? {Pure Power} of course, but do you go for Swords Dance/Shift Gear, or do you save your S for Sucker Punch? Do you take E Speed? *EDIT:* hmmm, Acrobatics hits hard and means you don't have to worry about an item. Could be a good take *EDIT 2:* without an F-sash Persian is so frail. Night Slash pairs really well with Shift Gear. But getting that Shift Gear off is easier said than done... *EDIT 3:* What if Pure Power is a trap!? {Adaptability} Shift Gear/Swords Dance/Sucker Punch Population Bomb, Night Slash, Extreme Speed (Holding a Razor Fang) Oh wait, it's not like Alolan Raticate that kept Normal as part of its typing 😅 Population Bomb + Razor Fang and high speed is really good, but Persian doesn't really have the stats to back it up without STAB

Top ten "Then we Fight" videos at the end of the year is such an excellent idea. Better yet, have a whole Pokétuber awards show similar to the Streamer awards, and let the community nominate and vote on top performances in certain categories. Funniest moment, most clutch moment, most unique strategy, et cetera. I think it would be really cool and fun and bring the community together, showcasing highlights of everyone's year. Make it an annual thing.

Speaking of Miraipon, it'd probably be more boring, but it'd be interesting to see an opposite to this video, a video where you can't use any moves, items, or abilities that start with any letters in the Pokemon's name. Maybe impose a limit of only using a move/ability once or something? In any case, Luke + Shady videos are always great, and despite Miraipon stealing P from Polteageiss and it having to pick up another S to compensate on Shady's side, still loved this video! Thanks Luke, Shady, and iconiqlast!

If you want ideas for funny ways to do "misspelled pokemon names", here's min: 1. Put their names through an auto-correct and use whatever word(s) it gives you. 2. Run their names through google translate a few times and use the result. Either of these could even be fun ways to let your opponent choose their starter by only knowing the messed up name, though if you're only auto-correcting the names that's probably a bit too easy to guess.

[@gatorman5547]

I have a fun idea for a challenge. Could y’all please catch eight Pokemon of your choice that all have random abilities. Both of you also get to pick out the move sets after catching the Pokemon. Once you both acquire teams, read off each of your team members’ Pokedex entries. If the one being read to correctly identifies a Pokemon entry, he gets the option to force a trade without knowing the moveset of the identified Pokemon. The player who gets the identity correct is also able to pick out a custom ability for the traded Pokemon. Sabotaging some of your own team members is legal. Let’s say that the two leftover Pokemon with easy Pokédex entries are physical attackers like Machamp. You can rigg the entire moveset to be special or support moves. The Pokemon can’t be pseudo legends, legends, paradox, ultra beast, mythical or, starters to make it a bit more challenging.

Move suggestions with this type of challenge with Greninja: G - Gunk Shot or Grass Knot (common coverage for it) R - Rock Slide or Rock Tomb (lesser common coverage) E - Earth Power (special Electric coverage) N (x2) - Night Slash and/or Nasty Plot (common physical stab and special attack enhancer) I - Ice Beam (common coverage) J - Jet Punch (priority stab when you don’t have Water Shuriken) A - Aeroblast or Aqua Cutter or Aqua Jet (special Flying coverage, crit stab, and priority stab) For abilities, if you wanted, you can make the G Grim Neigh, I Intrepid Sword or Intimidate, or the A Adaptability
