[@TheCanadianWifier]

wow i thought you wouldn't post leeks until after the new games released, should have known better :(

[@HumanReverend]

This is funnier than anything I said in the video

[@Fritz_Haarmann]

I just saw your name and profile pic and was really confused as to why a native English speaker made spelling mistakes and then I noticed🤣

[@oddlazdo]

ive just discovered your channel and your bored half-awake delivery of all your jokes is exactly the kind of detached from reality struggle to enjoy life that i can relate to

[@galelululu]

finally somebody put it into words

[@GhGh-gq8oo]

It’s called post irony

[@craigolemay6674]

I don't know who designed Sirfetch'd, but I hope someone at gamefreak is pinning a medal to their chest. Everytime I look at Sirfetch'd I just want to quit my job and run away with it to live in a pond in the woods.

[@pacmanboss256]

sirfetchd is definitely one of the pokemon ever

[@marvingreenscreen9947]

hi pacmanboss256

[@pacmanboss256]

yo

[@JustAnderw]

How do he combat so close when the stick so long?

[@skinnysnorlax1876]

He obviously bonks them with the handle, bro. Come on, obvious. Look at that bonker

[@publickip]

"Tailwind is like the best move in the game that completely sucks ass" god you're so right

[@Anzyll]

Cuz then they set up their Tailwind and you're like "Oh, we're back to square one." Trick Room is sort of the same but at least you don't have to invest your team with speed in a TR set.

[@lancesmith8298]

@@Anzyll…oh. I mean in hindsight that makes complete sense why it’s still dogwater in Singles, even after getting buffed. Half the time I think “oh it doesn’t last long enough”, but there’s so much bad with Tailwind as the worst team-defining field effect to go over: - There’s a point where Speed is a totally dead stat in a specific matchup, as opposed to raw power like the weathers and the side effects of building for Trick Room. Stall comes to mind immediately, but if all the opponent’s Bulky Offense Mons are slower than your HO team, the same thing happens. - It has no setters. Pincurchin, who got slightly nerfed into SV, still barely manages to not suck horribly even in current day Gen 9. There’s no Pokemon that sets Tailwind on the switch, period. - Choice Scarf exists. If your opponent wants to outspeed in Tailwind and also in general, it just costs an item. If you want your big dumb wallbreaker to go fast, it just costs an item. Side note and hot take, this item is probably a mistake in terms of the health of Singles, and if I could time travel and beat a developer with a pipe to not add it to Diamond and Pearl, I might just. This thing just makes the speed creep arms race worse by existing - And most of all, paralysis exists. It’s a status, so it doesn’t go away. It gets you free turns, so it’s not going to be totally dead in every matchup. Every Pokemon gets Thunderwave, so you don’t even need a niche Pokemon solely dedicated to setup

[@violetcitizen]

4 choice bands and 2 tailwinds is peak teambuilding I'd rather have a big bowl of pasta with truffle shavings than a dish with 20 random ingredients. (truffle is tailwind, really cool and fancy but entirely not worth it)

[@Robin_Robout]

The random ass nerf that Intimidate got in Gen 8 where some C and B list abilities now block it was such a bizarre move. It only took them 5 gens to realize how silly Intimidate was and their solution was to tickle it just a bit.

[@HumanReverend]

I feel like every couple months I learn that a new ability blocks it

[@starduststriker8792]

apparently for gen 9 theyre going to make some abilities that already just naturally block it like contrary and defiant only work once so ig they want to buff intimidate after all

[@mort3562]

@@starduststriker8792 nah that wasn't true, they work like they always have. The only abilities that got nerfed are libero, protean, battle bond, intrepid sword and dauntless shield

[@starduststriker8792]

@@mort3562 oh phew. thats a relief. thx for clarifying tbh

[@arsenicsulfide7549]

You are the strongest gamer alive for making me actually want to play gen 8 again, godspeed

[@Skasaha_]

5:49 "Because the surprise goes a long way when you're using a Pokemon that's slightly too good for NU" This got me cackling hard enough to get family asking if I was ok.

[@fday8432]

I love how "If you give me a banana, I'll cry" sounds like a threat.

[@Picklemirror]

getting first impression in random battles makes me feel all good inside

[@supremechaosbeing2696]

Sirfetch'd finally has competition for Biggest Thing with Tinkaton

[@slimestudios9748]

sirfetch'd is like 3 inches taller

[@delibirdite]

Sirfetchd strikes me as the type to not enjoy dried corn because they consider themselves above it

[@HumanReverend]

Sirfetch'd definitely eatin grubs

[@viviolet7]

@Reverend shit dude me too i cant hold it against him

[@Shadowity]

Wow, that's a pretty fuckin big thing! Also the main reason I'm excited for Gen9 is to see what shenanigans you're going to get into with the format.

[@jman2050]

It’s a shame Sirfetch’d is currently vacationing in the Bahamas, I’d love to see a replay with the pokemon with the two biggest things (him and Tinkaton) working together.

[@Cheeseomlett1234]

The user attacks wildly with its thick leek. The user can't move on the next turn, because the force of this move makes it stagger.

[@thiccrandy975]

Yeah Spectrier is coming to gen9 and that makes me so happy, and it's getting some buffs which makes me even happier. Now all we need is Appletun to get some buffs and my apple horse team will be unstoppable. Great video as always, can't wait to see what you do with gen 9.

[@galelululu]

crazy that banded brave bird vs landorus 2hkoes sirfetchd. also my computer was determined to make me say a 2hko on landlords so I guess birds of the working class rise up

[@gallae]

don't delete this one I wanna watch it

[@HumanReverend]

i goofed the other one

[@Amistra]

i wish i could forget everything about your videos so i could live again the experience of watching you for the first time

[@AzFYouTube]

I am in love with your deadpan delivery. It’s like exactly my sense of humor.

[@Spuun]

Gen 8 Leeks > Gen 9 Leaks

[@__AlexTheGr8__]

something primal and hilarious about the phrase "Future generations will call it 'The Reverend'"

[@parkinglotmosh4360]

grassy glide on anything besides rillaboom is based because i genuinely had no idea til a month ago that grassy glide wasn't just the rillaboom family signature move

[@LiteKirby]

I can’t stop watching these videos and linking them to everyone what have you done to me

[@brookeheatley5527]

its so good you're actually releasing content n not waiting 4 years to make a new video ur shit is good

[@courtneys.7113]

regular reverend uploads? it's a thanksgiving miracle

[@HumanReverend]

I think I have the motivation to do about 2 a month for the foreseeable future

[@gorshe74]

the literal only pokemon youtube channel. upload again

[@screebing]

my day is instantly better when you post

[@crenando288]

I'm not kidding youre one of my favorite youtubers rn, funny pokemon content that isn't for kids is rare

[@justkita3890]

that lando set made my head expand.

[@screebing]

coming back to this vid i just noticed creep by STP at 1:20 and now i respect you and your videos even more than i used to

[@0rbeez]

I’ve decided not to play gen9, and the only way I’m gonna find out about new Pokémon is through this channel. My perception is gon be skewed in the best way possible

[@chiva7695]

I love your replay videos I'm glad you haven't dropped them yet, also mandatory sacrifice to the algorithm

[@chiva7695]

Also you know someone is a real smash player when they use fucking facebook messenger

[@HumanReverend]

Messenger is better than discord tbh

[@ShadowFox64]

Super forgot I was subbed to you but man your game knowledge and sense of humor are stellar. 😻

[@richroberts7512]

I predict that your first gen 9 video will include… Landorus-T

[@HumanReverend]

bold

[@zaphior]

I just got recommended your video about Pokemon Cryptids and I was kinda surprised you have so little subs because your editing is really good and the video really made me laugh I hope your channel blows tf up soon this shit is really entertaining

[@kingmonkeyv]

Top tier nicknames. I especially enjoyed Bobby skar

[@crumpetsancheese2197]

holy shit new showdown video from reverend time to watch it 5 times in a row your content is what actually motivated me to try showdown so thanks ig

[@ericmoon2974]

This is the best stoner showdown content on KZbin ong

[@Unk0wnHope]

Gen 8 was definitely one of the generations of pokemon. Perhaps gen 9 will be as well.

[@sayvionwashington1939]

Gen 9 was indeed the generation of all time

[@craniifer]

"If you give me a banana I'll cry." That had me cackling with my headphones on.

[@leaffinite3828]

Also now we know that submission gen 1 is the worst move thats good and tailwind gen 8 is your best move thats bad

[@worthlesshuman5041]

Sorry to make your world a little worse and allow the specter of fear to loom over your waking mind, but bolt strike does indeed make contact

[@HumanReverend]

I pretend I do not see it

[@worthlesshuman5041]

@@HumanReverend That is probably for the best

[@2010AZ]

To help with the tongue twister : it's actually niche pronounced knee-shh, there's no tricky T in there.

[@HumanReverend]

I think it's a southern thing. It's how Hank Hill says it.

[@LuxInfinita]

I have taken to watching your videos nearly on loop. Your deadpan delivery, your fantastic editing, it's all just the crack equivalent of serotonin content.

[@Ozzykan]

Great video keep it up. I'm glad you decided to still do commentary videos.

[@489herobrine9]

Keep coming back to this video, it has such great energy. Can't wait until your channel blows up like Big Yellow

[@sealeo5772]

1:51 I appreciate the sudden reappearance of This Guy.

[@nict4343]

I hope reverend puts that this guy pokemon in every video from now on like Pixar does with the pizza planet truck.

[@prexot2341]

A lot of great lines here but my favorite is 7:58 "I think my life is marginally better if I think that Bolt Strike does not make contact. It's just slightly less controlled by fear." By the way, it does make contact actually.

[@crenando288]

I love your videos because they're funny and they keep the voices away 😁

[@leaffinite3828]

Holy shit. I need a list of every pokemon that has a thing, in size order

[@jimmyjuice697]

Clawitzer and Sirfetch'd got to be best buds right? They both got huge things, after all.

[@bradlauk1419]

Reverend deserves so much more for everything he does for us

[@zoeygeorge2403]

My favourite thing about Sirfetch'd is that when Game Freak went to the UK to find inspiration for the next generation of Pokemon designs they were apparently all gobsmacked by how large the Leeks in the country were, like that was their brainwave behind Sirfetch'd. Which I can't really blame because if I had to design a Mon for an America based game I would absolutely base one on the 1 time I went to America as a flyover, ordered a Large Soda at the airport Wendy's, and then spent 20 minutes in tears with my brother at how enormous it was. We were there like an hour and I couldn't finish it.

[@tootsie_]

Can't wait for your gen 9 videos because dear god I am not playing that shit

[@Lullabydogfarmo]

Seeing sirfetched take 80% from his own brave bird is the funniest shit
