Pokemon World Champion Reacts to Pachirisu Winning the World Championships

[@colinvollmer]

“Sejun is one of two players to get both 2nd and 1st at worlds” doesn’t mention that he is the other one. Classy Wolfe as always

[@TheScholesie09]

He starts the wideo off reminding people he is a world champ, and remarks that he too knows the feeling of losing in the final. So he mentioned it, just in a puzzle

When I first saw this I was so focused on the squirrel. I didn’t understand EVs and the like. But after watching a couple of your wideos, the importance of having bulk investment on the Gardevoir made this so much more interesting. Hats off.

My only problem with this match is just what onlookers thought, or people who arent familiar with pokemon thought. It was all SEE you can win with your favorites, and while I imagine Sejun enjoys Pachi Idt it is in no way his favorite, what people dont see or understand is the tool kit pachi had. Iirc pachi was bulky enough to withstand one EQ, obviously bulky enough to take those big special attacks as was showcased, he then had, Nuzzle, superfang protect mad the best part follow me. And and it also contained volt absorb for protection to Gyra and Talon whenever follow me was used. It was a super unique pick sure but it wasnt a CRAZY pick.

Also possibly mentioning what countries it available to be shipped to and costs may help(if not already on site) as you possibly have quite a varied audience from many countries. As this may help you get bigger pool of ideas for merch and what the fans will actually buy. Hope this also helps you out :)

After everyone dealing with mega Khan in singles many such as myself were excited to tune in to vgc semi final for the first time. Because of this hint of some variation in competetive.

One of the most eye-catching things I saw from this match was that Se Jun Park didn’t even Mega evolve for the entire final set. To win at Worlds with Pachirisu, an underdog, without Mega evolving or even bringing the Gyarados to the matchup that Pachirisu was supposed to be protecting, is legendary. It was the right decision, to be fair, and it takes a TON of skill and game knowledge to know that it was. But it is also a decision that would absolutely confuse any other player watching the match unfold.

I guarantee tons of people had no idea pachirisu was a known piece at the time and from someone who knew barely anything about competitive at the time, the main reason I remember that everyone was so shocked by pachirisu is because I've never met a casual player who didn't think pachi was anything more than the ugliest pikachu clone to date (back then) in a game that already had a one in a million actually really cool electric type option

I'd love to see you do this for other defining matches, or matches that were significant to you, even! It's easy to preserve stats, but it's not at easy to preserve ... people, so I feel like this has the potential to become a series that could make VGC history more digestible for outsiders. Again, would love to see more!

[@galliussbattlefield3621]

The metagame in 2014 wasn't very bulky but Sekiam (Miguel Martí) used very bulky spreads in his mons. He even used Mega-Mawile even if he'd always used Mega-Kangaskhan in the European Nationals (in Manchester and Milan) Now looking at Pachirisu, in that moment I was also surprised that Sejun could win Worlds with it. But now, looking at its moveset and its bulk (it's in fact the bulkiest electric rodent ever created), I can see the role it played within the team, especially protecting Mega-Gyarados from electric moves.

Jeudy going into game 2: "ok that was rough but I think I can turn this around" Se Jun: "Time to unlock 2% of my power"

This was really the most entertaining and remindful VGC final so far.

It’s crazy how long ago this was I remember watching this when it was happening after stumbling upon the livestream I started my vgc journey shortly after. This battle is what got me into it :)

I would love to see an analysis of this type for your worlds 2016 win. Like your thought process going into the matchup and your rationale behind decisions each turn

Wolfe I'd love to see you analyzing more finals! Especially the 2017 one, it's one of my favorites.

This was was the only year of worlds I competed in, seeing the shirts and designs definitely throws me back

This set is what introduced me to VGC. Great analysis.
