Pokémon's Greatest Battles: Golden Sun vs. Bloo (BW1 OU, 2011)

[@BKCplaysPokemon]

Happy holidays, pals The battle begins at 23:58...but why on earth would you want to pass up on the delightful context beforehand? The finals thread, incredibly entertaining: www.smogon.com/forums/threads/the-world-cup-of-pokemon-vi-finals-won-by-oceania.3452926/ The log, including the battle chat - also fun, but warning for gamer language: pastebin.com/KVyqMUVS SPOILER: in the original battle log, the crit Brave Bird KOing Starmie did 53% (as opposed to the replay's 56%), so it could have actually KOed without the crit - also as seen in the log: ICONIC: 196 Atk vs 207 Def & 261 HP (120 Base Power): 123 - 145 (47.13% - 55.56%) Vaz: 47.1% - 55.6% FUCK OCEANIA: bullshit hax ICONIC: Ah! (I miss the days of people going Ah! whenever hax/something stupid happened)

What were the inspirations for such thumbnail? It looks cool but if there is some movie stuff behind it I'd love to know.

After years of religiously following this channel, I am now in semis of the DPP Ubers Open (thanks to a missed Draco) and only lost 2-1 to Highlord earlier in the year (thanks to a missed Draco). Watching this channel pays off, folks!

That "What would you do?" Onto the dugtrio double was pure cinema

bkc didn't post an abomasnow replay for christmas? smh not my smogtuber

[@zachuvgc8660]

Hey Mr. BKC, is there a database/collection where these logs are kept? I've been getting into old gens and would be interested in finding more logs to learn more about these formats

[@BKCplaysPokemon]

they're mostly just scattered around the forums unfortunately, so I picked up a lot of them from being around at the time. this log and all the other logs from the finals series are in the thread in the pinned comment for example!

1:05:48 IT’S FINE I GOT THE RANDOROSU 🔥🔥🔥 BKC is truly a Historian.

13:33 Similar thing happened in early Scarlet and Violet with Protosynthesis/Quark drive on Paradox mons. We figured out that only Speed is a 1.5 multiplier and the rest a 1.3 around the first week. So Fluttermane was even more broken than it shouldve been it didnt really change much ofc. Sun teams also took a hit but were still fairly if not very popular Still interested how many similarities gen 5 has to gen 9. It also applies to my opinion being mostly negative about them aswell

[@Luispeikou]

Nice video! How did you recreate the game into a replay?

[@BKCplaysPokemon]

it was part of a project done by smogon staff for the site's 20th anniversary, it's in the tournament subforum :)

[@Luispeikou]

@@BKCplaysPokemonoh cool, thank you!

[@SludgeBob_]

I honestly had no idea it was a 10 min intro until you said something

[@FepeProg]

Damn just 1 water resist/immune in golden sun's team? Pro players are different

[@hockeydavid9749]

Love the breakdowns of old battles! I promise to watch every one you make.

[@jeremye1159]

This replay was pretty perfect, bloo

[@adrianchavez4314]

As someone who didn't really play Pokemon online (only GBA/DS story mode), I really enjoyed learning about the hidden art and evolution of names like CharizardRocks95 😂😂

[@YourBoiSlifer]

Seeing people use the term "johning" brings a tear to my eye. We need to bring it back

[@idmderek]

BKC have you seen Nosferatu yet I’m going on Saturday and hearing good things about it

[@BKCplaysPokemon]

I'll be seeing it soon, probably as part of a double feature with the original (which is amazing!). I also gotta see Herzog's Nosferatu!
