@@tha_juice3262 you’re right! 🤣

@ladyvigilante thank you for making all of our lives a little bit easier 🙏🏼

Rosemary saving the commentary yet again

[@Rawrmuffin0]

And yet there will always be a comment complaining about her and the other women commentators for doing their jobs 😭

[@robbyphelps3243]

She is literally the only good one

[@MunfyKun]

@@Rawrmuffin0 Dude they could be carrying the team and folks will STILL find a reason to flame them. Really glad Pokemon has given them a platform in an otherwise male-dominated space.

[@Metanoia000]

@@MunfyKunalmost everything in life is a “male dominated space”

[@josephray459]

Rosemary and Aaron are a goated duo

[@brabhamF1]

That Andrew Zheng vs Giovanni Costa match could not have been more dominant even if Giovanni called out every single one of his moves.

[@incandescence5547]

Game 1 of Zackary Thornberg vs Alex Underhill was one of the craziest games I've seen in a while

[@Killer1984able]

What a comeback bro

[@grimmylocked]

Joe Brown: "its essentially 1 pokemon left! The scream tail can't do much" Scream tail: and who decided that

[@Endershock1678]

@@grimmylocked Scream Tail looked Koraidon dead in the eyes and said “Nah, I’d win”

[@iceinslurpee429]

Would've been more enjoyable if Thornberg wasn't a zion*st

[@ERG11]

5:51:56 You know Groundon is thinking, "Ugly fish, Im coming for you".

[@4lliecat]

The crit on Enrique really killed me

[@Rawrmuffin0]

Props to Enrique game 1!! That was a crazy turn around

[@breanna606]

convert to lunalaism

[@sanaznoori3581]

Game freak should make a remake for the switch because some people can not play the like Pokemon red gold and ruby and plus you would make lots of money

[@msshyskye1]

29:38 start of the stream

[@lunalayeo]

I like Lunala very much! That was so Impressive battle!! Thank you so much Andrew Zheng!

[@terryfang]

Henry Rich's dog plush is so adorb

[@prashantgoswami2]

5:07:18 who possessed that scream tail? Why is it floating?

[@ladyvigilante]

If it switches into a slot where the previous pokemon is off the ground the scream tail floats. If not, it’s grounded.

[@GravityIsFalling]

@@ladyvigilante Little details like this make me realize just how good Pokémon would be if GF were given more time

[@skydago]

8:59:57 calyrex shown as safety goggles but has clear amulet?

[@ladyvigilante]

It’s a typo. Incin on Justin’s team has the safety goggles and calyrex has clear amulet

[@Golf_Links_Us]

Rose and Gabby are such a great duo lol two of the best commentators in the game!

[@kanishkkaku9634]

8:02:45 how was he able to switch whimsicott when shadow tag was active?? could someone please explain

[@xenonex1608]

Ghost types, including Ghost tera, are immune to trapping

[@DeltaMS]

3:51:21 the mean girls reference ❤😂

[@CONTROLSOLOMON]

Great job, Zheng!!!!

[@kamelelghaly163]

5:18:16 zackary good game 👏

[@tyroy30]

Kinda fucked how long it is between sets... ik its been a longstanding problem but its no good for viewers...

[@curtismanning6129]

yeah watching the VOD is much better

[@Blahblah-oo7lk]

I heard that the regional had internet problems so the time between R1 and R2 was immense. R1 didn't finish until around 12pm local time which was brutal to some of my friends competing. Also a lot of the time I believe that stream matches are selected and start later than everyone else in hopes of reducing time between rounds but with the internet problems it seems that several rounds were one-sided 2-0s thus throwing off the schedule even further.

[@brabhamF1]

They should really have another set ready, either recorded or in progress to jump to. I know a lot of people who just don’t watch because of the insanely hype killing gaps between rounds.

[@Endershock1678]

⁠@@brabhamF1 They can’t. This event is held live, and they can’t move on until EVERY round is done, and jumping in mid set doesn’t work because they only have 1 stream setup per tournament on a specific table.

[@lunardarkangel5237]

I wonder what changed. They used to be able to switch to a different set back in gen 7.

[@mallowtonmouse]

Am I the only person who likes the downtime between matches?

[@pratmid5816]

not just you 👍

[@Mossbergg]

you jobless and single by any chance?

[@tomwolfe7782]

​@@Mossbergg Working 3rd shift myself, as is my wife, so your Will-o-Wisp misses on me. I enjoy all 8-9h of these as I work throughout the night.

[@anandagia5361]

Yup! I work from home, I put this on TV as I work.. it's pretty fun

[@DariBenny]

😊

[@rubenferreira7500]

Bruh i hated that crit on game 2 of round 2. That Koraidon was about to destroy Miraidon and Iron Bundle

[@Zatchel]

Did anyone else think Sierra was just mad the whole time with her fellow casters and the other activities?

[@tacowednesdays]

1:01:03 ummm... that was a 2 hit KO, just a little too eager to use your lil' animation there, eh? Either that, or counting above one is hard.

[@eskimobob117]

Len Deuel seems very knowledgeable and well spoken, but he definitely needs to work on his energy. He's consistently calm and quiet even during surprising or high-impact turns. Lots of potential as a caster if he improves this, though.

[@charless2100]

Almost a 10 hour video with probably about 1 hour of gameplay. Where tf is the time stamp guy

[@lalithaditya-yv8eb]

Day 3 of asking for ash comeback

[@Chanchan19494]

The “who’s that Pokémon” segment was painful… was the dude drunk? He was so obnoxious

[@rengoku2608]

Why do the commentators always say things like 100 percent, or for sure, absolutely not listening to the player and forced staring with dead fish eyes in the cam 😂 Like this isn't hardcore professional esport commentary, just chill the fuck out lmao

[@camoveteran2219]

I do not understand why these guys keep using Dondozo. It's such an overrated pokémon and a terrible strategy. Not only does it put you at the 2 v 1 disadvantage, but because Dondozo is locked on the field, it eliminates any guesswork for your opponent.

[@alexdj54]

Len Deuel is a boring commentator

[@AjBuds13]

Talking about what legendaries are selfish vs not? Cmon bro goin crazy 🔥🔥

[@alexdj54]

@AjBuds13 bruh every other commentator is better. He talks like he's talking about the weather Forcast. No excitement or anything. He sound like he just gets paid to be there and he has no chemistry with the other commentators

[@35reich]

Boring rounds

[@robbyphelps3243]

After listening to Wolf and Aaron cast, listening to anyone else is an absolute terrible time. Please give these other “castors” some casting and speech classes PLEASE. 😭😂🧐🙏🏽😘

[@RespectThePS3]

Rosemary just isn’t cutting it for commentary…
