Random Card Challenge | Pokémon Platinum | Finale

We've finally made it to the Sinnoh Random Card Challenge Finale. We earned our eighth Gym Badge and took down Barry last time out so all that remains is to take on the Elite Four and Champion. As always, we're asking the question, "can you beat Pokémon Platinum using teams drawn from my Pokémon card collection?" Thanks for watching!

It’s a shame this series is diminishing in popularity, I think this series is awesome and your commentary helps make the battles feel really intense

[@willie4888]

@Harshith A That is really unfortunate

[@BrianStorm742]

The reason I forgot to watch it, is because it didn't pop up in my feed, which annoys me

[@annemarielemme4402]

I really enjoyed the series but I can understand that it's difficult to produce. Thank you for the videos!

[@Chrysanthemumsie]

I personally really love this series, but I understand if it is too costly to make! Honestly I think most of us would be happy to see it continue in any way, even if it means the videos get delayed for a while. Your best interests are always the most important part, so keep that in mind!

[@shadeofimpurity7515]

Me, an old man, seeing Butterfree's name being Bai-Bai and understanding the reference. I cri

[@dustycallins7601]

While I understand the financial implications being the deal breaker for these series, as one of those people who watch these random card challenges as soon as they pop, I really do appreciate all the work you put in. It is a witty, interesting narrative from start to finish that I deeply enjoy.

[@MrMovees87]

These series’ are always so fun to watch from start to finish!

[@jacobm4444]

The only reason I discovered you is from the random card challenge. And it’s what kept me here.

[@Arias3601]

My wife and I have really enjoyed the series and would love to see it continue. You could always do the same games again with the same cards. The nature of randomly pulling cards should make the fights unique.

[@personregularlastname2645]

This is one of the most underrated Chanel. I love the content and get angry when I see that you onily have 61.5K subscribers. I love the random card challenges and show them to everyone who likes Pokémon and they agree that they are amazing

[@paulofioroto8514]

Shellder - > Clam -> Drunken Clam -> Family Guy -> Quahog This man's thinking go far sometimes. Best names I've seen since the TFS Nuzlockes.

[@Harvey1997-]

Or... you know... Quahog as in the type of clam (The reason the town in Family Guy has that bar, and likely why he's a fisherman in early episodes, is because of the Quahog clam in that region)

[@PHEEliNUX]

I love this series and I make sure to watch these as soon as I see them, seeing teams that some people would stop doing the challenge with but winning at the end is pretty cool too.

[@HybridAngelZero]

It's a crying shame that this series doesn't get as much traction as it should, the idea is so creative and fun! Regardless of how long it takes, I'll always be looking forward to the next episode!

[@catriamflockentanz]

0:03 Charizard traced from one of its oldest and most iconic Trading Cards which even made it into a game as a keyframe for the opening of FR/LG. Very fitting for this series. 2:03 At least you hadn't have to deal with any "Lutschia" in your parts of the world. Going from "Dawn" to "Lucia" is already questionable enough(especially in a game with a character named Lucian being in a prominent role), but who thought of _this_ pronunciation? 6:16 I don't get why Mimikyu is here but it's looking good. Or at least the costume is. 9:44 Tired of surprised Pikachu? Have this instead. 13:07 Oh. I guess you weren't that tired. 16:27 A Portrait of the Enemy? That's way nicer than you need to be. 17:28 Nena the Drifloon? Will she call in 98 of her friends for assistance? 22:00 Considering what Bai-Bai did this whole battle CC would probably have been a better name for him.

[@KreepyKat911]

I love this series! I love your narration and names as well, those anime fight scenes are how I always imagine things when I'm playing the games too. I definitely understand that it's a bit of a time sink though, I think working on them in free time is a good idea! We'll all be happy to see videos whenever they come.

[@darrellfjohnson]

Definitely a shame that this isn't more popular. The random card challenges are honestly my favorite series on this channel.

[@bunkayke2554]

1:50 "Pretty low stakes!" *WHEEEEEZEE* Imagine this clip out of context LMAO PS: I can't stress enough how much I love your ideas video prompts and narrations!!!!!!

[@abbilocke736]

I love this series, it’s pretty much the only one on KZbin that I’ll consistently stop what I’m doing to watch. But you should do what you think is best for yourself. Maybe you could reduce the time and money spent by drawing the ‘cards’ through a randomized list of names. You could title it something like “Random team every gym” - I think smallant did something similar and he’s blowing up. Ultimately though i get it if you stop altogether! The cards are nice, but your commentary is what keeps me coming back.

[@DarkSoulsSauron]

your channel really deserves a lot more views. the way you use language in your narration makes you stand out among pokemon challengers, and the random card challenge is really unique in a genre that's flooded by single pokemon runs.

[@grinbrothers]

These tense and down-to-the-wire battles had some truly spectacular performances from Bai-Bai, Envy, Claw, Dawn (who had a brilliant dramatic tale to her) and of course, the scouting marvel of Flop. Also, you have consistently had the worse possible timing drawing a certain Ice legendary during your challenges. Thank you for another series of this ingenious concept bolstered by your incredible wit, narrative beauty and surprising tactics!

[@brenndan]

I would be perfectly fine with waiting however long it takes for you to finish a whole series of the random card challenge! I love this series, and I'd be sad to see it go for good

[@mattcanters]

If I knew the series would come out at regular (shorter) intervals, I wouldn’t wait until the end to binge them all.

[@logans.7932]

No one in Pokémon has a full party because it’s hard to take care of 6 dogs or cats, much less 6 dragons, musclemen, lions, chimpanzees, or ducks. Good vid as per usual, ETU. Also, I put a scope lens on my Compound Eyes/Sleep Powder Butterfree in Pokémon Shield for max effect, it’s hilarious.

[@mahalleinir_WoT]

Literally one of my most anticipated uploads on my subs. I enjoy this SO much more than Nuzlocke stuff. You could even expand and replay famous matches in the real life competitive pokemon league! Maybe film all the card-draws for each match, but have someone (with more time) play through all the Battles, then you record the commentary (that we love) and boom. Only 3 more generations to go and you SERIOUSLY do a good job, man. I hope it sticks around!

[@DOW1100]

"Bai-Bai the Butterfree'"....that hit right in the childhood. It's been about 20 years but it's still too early for this...Btw do continue making these videos if possible. It's some of the most creative Poketube content out there and your narration and nicknames add a lot of flavor to it. Would love to see a Gen 5 random card challenge!

[@86lbsdachshund98]

Nena the Drifloon. Amazing. For those not German viewers, Nena is a german artist, who released a song years ago, called „99 Luftballons“ or „balloons“)

[@GreyLovelady]

I appreciate the series. It is my favorite and I enjoy the battle tactics. I don’t see anyone doing this and the work you put in really shows. I would suggest thumbnail revisions to catch people’s eye.

[@98802ohhey]

ALWAYS fantastic! I like it when you show some of the losses and explain tactics. I know these battles aren’t (if ever? Lol) first try wins. Great stuff and if a video if ever... 2+hrs I wouldn’t complain!

[@annadimak8180]

I love this series but I also completely understand where you're coming from. I think the idea of doing this in your spare time is great - it lets you do a fun series but doesn't make you lose money.

[@joukeblum4597]

Nothing brightens my day as F.J.‘s commentary on the battles. Sometimes I just close my eyes and I can see it unfold before me and I think this series is the prime stage for that type of commentary. As a fellow player, I’d like to say, though, that you shouldn’t do what’s economical, but what you enjoy. I can’t imagine those hour long grinding sessions are much fun. In that case, please focus on the challenges you enjoy more. That said, I still love the series and would be delighted if you were to continue!

[@TriggeredSceptileSSJ]

That Cynthia drawing was awesome. So was this video , nice job

[@RelaxingVibes780]

I love this series, just wish the tcg cards werent so expensive so you could keep producing it.

[@vidhuvikassingh4960]

Wait till the people hear that a guy took down Cynthia with Butterfree as his ace xD Really love these series!!!

[@smargio]

Excellent Drifloon name.

[@ellter1918]

You could say Rapidash met its maker :) On a serious note, this series is great. Whatever form you decide I will still watch it.

[@larszonneveld]

NEVER QUIT THIS SERIES!!! It is really original

[@samaccardi]

It sucks about the diminishing popularity cuz this is the only content I've seen like this on YT and I ABSOLUTELY love it. The commentary, the series, the content. All of it. But you do what you gotta do for the good of the channel, and I'll keep watching whatever you put out :)

[@28thbam60]

Except from more "opening a booster pack" videos :D

[@lordcherrymoore5252]

This is a great series, but if it's actually costing you money to do, then you can stop or slow it down and just do in your free time. What a win over the champ, though. Butterfree showing the world the power of Bug types!

[@FIFAmusicMAN]

Butterfree MVP! And also fully understandable about the perspective for moving the series forward. Regardless of your choice I’ve loved it and think it’s been brilliant! Thanks again!

[@j.m.mitchell6226]

I have loved this series from day one and I really want to see it keep going so here are a couple ideas I had. 1. You can try a pack opening video. I know they are pretty popular on KZbin and it might help recover some of the costs if it does well. Plus your getting more content from the purchase of the cards. 2. It lacks some of the wonderful panache of the physical cards, but a number generator can get you an off the wall random team which is where this series thrives. 3. Take the random card challenge to online battles. Draw 3 or 4 random cards and then fill in the team with complimentary pokemon. (I don't suggest an all random team online because it's likely to be unusable.) I hope some of these helped, and I really hope this series sees a new season, great work!

[@jonathanmarks3112]

That Aaron matchup was ridiculous. Here's hoping things go better in the future. Clearly they do, although that Bertha match felt like it was one massive setup to sweep with Tangela. Your stall tactics against Flint (particularly waiting out Sunny Day) were brilliant. I'm starting to feel like getting your team reduced to one and then winning is a strategy. Butterfree was definitely the MVP in the Cynthia matchup, although everyone had a role to play. Congrats on beating the game!

[@pandasawrus]

I love your commentary and will happily watch whatever Pokémon content you’re producing. These series are one of my favorites because there are so many Pokémon to introduce each episode and the personalized move sets and nicknames are very fun. That said, I wouldn’t blame you for moving away from these if they aren’t receiving the same level of popularity/profit.

[@blakedoner3480]

Im surprised it isnt more popular. Its a really interesting concept that I havent seen here before. It's what brought me to,your channel to start with

[@Youcallmedrunk]

It really can't be said enough, your narration is just fantastic. It really makes all of your videos. If you cancel the series I totally understand, but I would love to continue watching it. Just do you.

[@niklask.4050]

This series is on of my favourites on youtube. Its a fun concept and your commentary is great. I think your idea to produce it during your spare time is probably the best way. Even if it means that we have to wait quite a while for the next installment. Just don't overwork yourself, and do what is in your best interest.

[@nicepelican]

This series is probably my favorite right now but I think no one who enjoys this series will complain when it gets delayed for a bit, if that means you will continue ^^

[@June-3]

I LOVE this series. Have you ever considered having an editor do some of the process? Maybe that would help

[@Octoshark19]

you deserve way more views! i really do love this series the most, but i understand that if the views arent there then theyre just not there

[@michaelrodriguez4818]

My good sir you are a champion and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@rhpets_25]

I absolutely love these series. Seeing these videos in my inbox legit makes my day, but frankly so do all your other videos. Thank you for making them

[@OrionSeas]

I'm honestly unsure what kind of suggestion to make. I enjoy all of your challenge videos, especially the random card challenge, so I'll keep watching them as long as you're making them!

[@t.m.gacutan5523]

I fully understand how costly it can be to make this series. Im totally cool with slower uploads!! Either way i adore this series and think its super fun, youre far and away my fave poketuber :3

[@yamiryushi]

Out of all the pokemon content I watch, this series is actually my all time fav. I understand your feelings in the matter and I also understand if you don't want to do it anymore. I will sorely miss it if its the case!

[@donnieuchiha]

I love this series, and excitedly await every video but can absolutely understand how it would be a lot of work. Doing battles 30+ times, plus running through the elite four multiple times with different teams must be a challenge. With that said, any form this series continues in ill be happy with. I'll watch and enjoy, just like I always have. Thanks FJ!

[@TheCrazedGuy]

Thanks for making these videos. You’re commentary during the fight is hilarious. You make great content, keep up the great work.

[@JokerSpirit160]

I hope you consider keeping this series going! Maybe make it a patreon exclusive or do a crowdfund/Kickstarter-esque fund to get funding for the series.

[@jonny45526]

Honestly this series is by far my favorite... but I’m a fan of you in general so if you focus on other projects I’ll happily watch those!

[@galanthius8924]

I love this series, but I absolutely get it! Somehow I haven't gotten any notifs from you for 3 months until a vid popped in my recommended. No matter what you put out I'll absolutely watch though. Thanks for the effort you put into the channel, you're so underrated!

[@Kraghriffs]

Honestly your commentary keeps me going

[@Val825.]

Just here to say I love random card challenge. Even if you put it in the back burner for a while I'll keep watching your content week to week *hugs*

[@1rbdt]

I can understand your reasoning, but really like this series. I'll watch them as long as you put them out.

[@henrymars6626]

I just binged the whole series today and tbh i love it!! Your commentary is fresh and c r i s p and super immersive. The Pokémon have personality and its like we're in the battle with them! Rad as hell my guy 💛💛 also your doodles are amazing and you're talented as all get-out

[@685Sunflake]

Seriously thanks so much for giving us something to watch! Your videos are always my priority when I see you've uploaded!

[@waner3066]

PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING!!! I beg you!!! These are my favorite videos on KZbin lol

[@paulthompson382]

Honestly I frickin love this series so much, although I only really care about stuff from the first 4 gens because I haven't played the others. But honestly if you do any videos from the first 4 gens I know I'll love them just because of the nicknames and the way you commentate on the battles

[@CollieDaze]

This is my favorite show on your channel by a long shot. Thanks so much for making it, and if you have the chance, would love to see it’s continuation!

[@biasedbalis2941]

This is my favorite series on this channel

[@steelewhitney7842]

This series is a blast. My favorite of yours. Thanks for the videos!

[@alb1961]

I love this series so much. It would be a shame to see it go, but we'd understand if it's not worth it for you. Keep up the great work.

[@DukeSR8]

Love how the Shellder's a Family Guy reference!

[@philippgraler5898]

That Pikachu really got me xD

[@tenfoldgambit9372]

I love this series and always try to watch new videos when they come out, but for some reason they haven't been showing up on my feed as often recently. Could have to do with the loss of popularity, but might be the other way around too. Either way, would love to see it continue in any capacity :)

[@matthewsierakowski5546]

Nice Charizard drawing

[@RapidZzJR]

Your drawings have improved so much over the series

[@joeboswell9349]

I love the Random card challenges! Please don't stop making them!

[@zmetapod8848]

This is my favorite series you make and I’ll always watch it. Keep up the great work

[@mattcanters]

This is one of my favorite series on KZbin. Thank you for all the hard work!

[@Skip6235]

I love your descriptions of the battles!

[@goncalofelicio6738]

i find these series a lot more interesting than black and white randomizer, for example, but do whats best for you, ofc biggest problem with randomizer is just forgetting everything over time, if not too regular

[@DKRiku]

Love these videos - always fun to watch :) Do what you enjoy I guess :3

[@PokerageAH]

I really enjoyed the series as a whole. You could keep costs down if you wanted to do this again by playing through Heartgold/Soulsilver, as you would have access to the exact same pokemon.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

Thank you for that failed milotic pun, I never quite knew what it was supposed to be but peacock does make some sense

[@YGOcruzer67]

I love this series!! I think it's super unique and your style of narration rly makes it stand above the rest. I'd love to see it continue 😊

[@mama_pluis]

Love the series, thanks for putting so much work and love in your videos 😊 it really shows

[@adrian8529]

Really love this series! Thank your for all your hard work! ❤️

[@portoesdeprata7283]

I love this series, and your pokemon card colection is awesome.

[@bobosmith101]

"So, pretty low stakes." BRUH AHAH

[@k1ln1k37]

F.J. - I have such a fun time watching these videos. Every time I watch them its like being a kid again; they make me feel at home. Hope you do an X/Y soon! I don't particularly love the later gens either. X/Y was the last one I loved.

[@FantasticFoxtrot]

What a great series, keep the great work and the fun commentary! :D

[@espeonplays_]

these videos are always a treat to watch and i enjoy them a ton

[@RoseBleueDuRosierSec]

I really liked this one. I'm mostly commenting for the algorithm, but really, it was a cool episode! Thank you!

[@alexjmize]

Love the series, but do what’s best for you! We’re here to support you all the way!

[@maxschechter1398]

This is my favorite series, please don't stop! I love ur content!

[@jaansindeaux9864]

This my favorite series of your channel 🖤

[@jacobtremblay4337]

I have been binging all these random card challenges and they are so awesome.

[@nocuh]

Mr. Mime content is always good fun

[@The31st]

Your work ethic is remarkable, these must take forever to make

[@itachiwlw5004]

i really enjoy this series and id be happy if you decided to continue it, but also i can definitely understand just how costly this would be to do! whatever you decide i think this was really enjoyable!

[@tomh5625]

Truly enjoyed. Think the doing it in your spare time as somthing you enjoy and releasing it once done is the best way.

[@Drowmerc]

Butterfree is great for just normal game playthroughs honestly.

[@digisprite]

These are some of my favourite series you produce. It's so well narrated and the challenge is exciting. I'm sad to hear its not as popular, I don't have many ideas unfortunately the only thing I can think of is maybe you could stream it or something?
