My comedy will be lost to ages but let it be know I am a genius

[@smackerooonii7001]

Okay I gotta say, the appeal from these videos does not come from the gameplay. It's the sense of humor, comedic timing, excellent editing, and the most flabbergasting word choices and delivery that makes this channel feel like content fudge. This is like any other smogontubers half hour talks condensed into the most scrumptious package devised by a Pretty Good Microcelebrity. 26th in Revcord Draft League, 1st in my heart.

at 17:08 i'd like to go on record that celebi was not merely running sucker punch but the absolute avant-garde jazz movest of sucker punch/protect/stealth rocks/perish song, and every single one of those moves were useful in that game. celebi is the greatest muse i couldve ever asked for

[@getmilked6216]

it is the movest moves

[@PlatinumCheesecake]

I love how you guys used the april fools day sprites for some of these mascots. It's so nice to see our underappreciated project out in the wild.

[@Celia_Dawn]

Ah, are you one of the AFD spriters? Getting to use the sprites when I made the logos was tons of fun!

[@PlatinumCheesecake]

@@Celia_Dawn thanks! Its a big project with a lot of contributors, but i have a dew dozen sprites to my name :)

[@camsons]

No problem, they're really great :)

[@NameAvailable]

I’m sorry, but I can’t get over you being last place in your own draft league. No other PokéTuber would let that happen, let alone have the guts and good humor to make a video about it. You’re a legend

[@austinfletchermusic]

I have decided to rank all the team logos for reasons known to no-one *SS Tier* - _Manitoba Maushold:_ Clearly, we either have an actual artist or a graphic designer, because WOW. The Maushold look official, the bomb is a classic and references Population Bomb, the two frame well together, the gray/navy/blue combo is immaculate, the text curves nicely with good color choice and an proper font, and all of it congeals into a logo I feel like I could legitimately fool a non-Pokemon fan into thinking is real. *S Tier* - _Washington D.C. Indeedee:_ This is a fantastic logo. Kept the drawing to a minimum with framing and the drawing itself, while no masterpiece, absolutely works and portrays an obvious theme of like, government agents. The dark purple, orange, and white is a distinct and solid enough color scheme. Only nitpick is I don't get those bars, but the logo is just incredible. - _Sockeye Station Scrappers:_ Incredible. Smallfry looks great. The text is simple but the color especially really enhances the theming. No notes. - _Questionable Quagsires:_ Very, very similar to the D.C. Indeedee. It does look more modern, which is more a style choice at this tier. The Quag pogging looks incredible. But I think it's a little sanitized, maybe, and the Quag doesn't look especially questionable or questioning. Still amazing. - _Glalie's Angels:_ No comment. Okay, one comment, that this is amazing and funny and totally works. Also Glalie with teeth is horrifying. - _Lilycove Lickipedias:_ What a bizarre, bonkers theme. Amazing. The mascot Lickitung totally sells it, as well as the symbol blurb off to the left. The font is fine, but those two really elevate this idea here. *A Tier* - _Universal Unicyclists:_ Rolycoly as a unicycle is incredibly drawn, nice use of the Pokemon Stars thing, and the background and text do their job. Unfortunately, Rolycoly honestly feels a little out of place thematically, which is literally the only reason this isn't S-Tier. - _BIg Bug Bruisers ft. Trapinch:_ The alliteration is on point, the Trapinch is cute, and it has a distinct headband-thing. The only thing is that the headband-thing idoesn't exactly seem themeatic, and also the color homogeny with that orange holds it back. - _Kingsport Kaijus:_ I like the Japanese(?) text, the red and yellow is smashing, the text is great, and making the logo a circle is fantastic. But man, while the use of early pixel art is great in theory, in practice I feel it let you down a bit. Otherwise, easy S-tier. - _Talahassee Tsuchinohkos:_ The text design moves you up two tiers. One for the composition of colors, framing, and the incredible font choice, and the other for the "OHKOs". Totally, toally genius. The Dunsparce could be better, but whatever. You'd actually be one higher if you correctly spelled "Tallahassee". - _Sevii Islands Smolivs:_ Bonus points for using a Pokemon city. Font looks official, if maybe somehow strange. And using the Smoliv for the O is cool and nice, and the art is good enough. I want to say, since Smoliv is a proper noun, it should be "Smolivs" even though it's "Olives", but maybe I'm wrong. - _Hedgefund Haunters:_ The theming is totally bonkers. I love it, even if the picture doesn't support it. Also, the art is respectable and kind of creates just enough colors to break up the visuals. *B Tier* - _Mence Maniacs:_ The image is really not great, but it's bad enough it almost looks like a choice. The bomb is cool. The colors are very recognizable. This would be A Tier if the font was different plus you clarified with " 'Mence ". I'm a stickler. - _Rainman Legends:_ It's silly. The drawing is silly, the pun is silly. And you totally stick with it with the text. Great job. - _Caledonia Clefaries:_ Don't know which one that is and Google doesn't help, but that's a good enough Clefairy and the text is neat. - _Sumaru City Spidops:_ Yes, it's just a meme. It is funny. Also, ficitional city. - _California Cleffas:_ It's just kind of "Caledonia Clefaries at home", but despite that I kind of love its authentic charm. *C Tier* - _Coumarine Chingling:_ This is the absolute bare minimum effort, but using a plushie makes this a shitpost, so it works. Bonus points for using a Pokemon city. - _Primal Preds:_ Honestly, the entire thing being in a consistently "bad" artstyle totally sells this logo. It's dumb, but I love it, but it can't go higher than this. - _Fighting Game Likers:_ I do not know who that guy is. They're fine. I guess. But that L looks like the 9th letter, and that's just unforgivable. - _Charlotte Shiiinotics:_ The low quality of the Shiinotic face really hurts an otherwise B-tier design. - _Carolina Cresselias:_ That is a valiant attempt at a Cresselia. Not like I could do better. Also the text is good. *D Tier* - _New Bedrock Supplicants:_ The font is totally unreadable. Like, holy hell. But. I do love everything else. The choice of Bedrock and Fred Flintsans. - _Kansas City Golbat:_ An attempt was made. I think. At least the Golbat font is cool. *F Tier* - _Cat's Team:_ I'm sure this was the point, but it's too horrible. To the Shadow Realm with that. - _Wario Muscles:_ No copying homework. In fairness, I don't necessarily expect that person to design a logo, and that would be an S-tier. But this isn't original, and as the grader I can't just let you copy the best logos and say they're yours. But it's cool. And now I will watch the video. When I have time.

Hey rev , just watched your video on Pokémon and I have to say, it was really well done! I could tell you put a lot of time and effort into it.

As a fellow Pokémon fan, I can relate to your enthusiasm and passion for the game. I really enjoy watching your content and I think others would too. Keep up the great work, I'll be sure to check out more of your videos!

You know, these videos have inspired me to go back to tinker with that MLP-inspired team I tried to cook up a year or two back. Unfortunately it's required to be in Ubers because, as it turns out, there are not that many equine Pokémon and my only options are to include Spectrier or else I would need to double dip my fingies in the Rapidash pie for both its forms to avoid using any NFEs. And I'm not touching AG with a fucking mile-long pole rn lmao. I suppose I could always replace Spectrier with some lower-tier dragon and say it's Spike but that feels like a cop-out
