it was never gonna happen, but it was fun to try

5 minite coding adventure- in and out

[@shauryanegi6553]

The initial idea was fun and a good idea. But after a little bit it turned into one dude play's for a while and then it switchs. Even if it was more effective it was compromising the idea. And it was basically impossible to do with the regular rules.

[@Potato15461]

I cant beat pokerogue myself

[@axelblaze4088]

I wont lie, I love the friendship between Dylan and Frank. Especially after seeing those clips of Dylan being the worried dad type friend

[@Daydream_N]

Dylan calling him sweetheart was so cute

[@spooky_tea7]

Someone talk to me the way Dylan talks to Frank bro 💀💀😭😭

[@Poprockz47]

Frank has entered the tier of youtuber where I am actively waiting for his next video, and regardless of what he posts it makes my day

[@The.Real.Strudl]

[@alexheldman]

I gotta point out the work on the greenscreen/projector always adds a good amount to the quality of these sort of demonstration segments; and even if these certain ideas didn't work out as planned, still I applaud the creative drive put into every video

[@HondaOdysseyTypeR]

Anyone else notice the lack of “Are Olive Garden’s Endless Breadsticks Truly Endless?” Think Frank is about to hit us with a banger XD

[@DarthZ01]

hes been making that vid for years, so far the breadsticks havent run out

[@Eeveeolite655]

It's the effort that you put in for these ideas that makes them crazy fun, even if they fail sometimes. Keep it up man, all your ideas rock.

[@GhastlyExistence448]

That final line with the text about wasted time, then the title saying videos I had to abandon. I absolutely love this video

[@Double_UD]

This was actually very encouraging. I'm not alone in thinking this is genuinely the best Pokemon channel on the platform and that's only because of your ambition and vision. In retrospect it seems obvious that with this style of video you were going to have a bunch of ideas that wouldn't make it. Loved seeing the part in Dylan's room where you talked about how you were sure the video would be good. Im so glad that even though that particular idea didn't work out your confidence in what your new style would be persisted and this channel became what it is. Hell, when I watch your videos I actually pay attention to the sponsored segments because you're one of the few people who can integrate them well and make them entertaining with pure videography skills.

[@batcrow6224]

SmallAnt sending an absurdly difficult escape room that has yet to be completed is so funny to me. Do love seeing these kinds of "fails"/scrapped ideas since they shows some interesting concepts that were just short

[@deadtrains]

i love how frank engages with his process. the reflection on ambitions and expectations is refreshing.

[@TechnoTekk]

was wondering what happened to many ideas, love this behind-the-scenes esque content

[@YusufC51]

It's nice to hear about what happened with these great ideas you had and learn about some ideas that I've never heard you mention until now. I'm glad you made this instead of never mentioning them at all after awhile.

[@Crunch_Games]

The sound design is so fucking good it’s insane

[@MashClash]

As a KZbinr myself this video is really interesting. I’ve experienced the exact same thing when you put hours into a video to eventually realize the idea is either not possible or just not as interesting as you first thought. The whole thing about making the strongest Pokémon reply video accessible to ppl who hadn’t seen the first one was so real

[@lobsterbisque333]

Frank being a scared kitten around an oven is on brand for sure

[@bamfblake9700]

Honestly my fav KZbin channel. Love your production skills, laughs and crazy ideas.

[@dyssy]

When you make high effort ambitious content, ofc sometimes it'll fail, and even then, it's VERY cool.

[@jonathanrogers959]

I still think we would’ve won Pokerogue if it was members only

[@jackk.4670]

I soo want to run that back tbh 😂😂

[@Legend0fAFallen]

100%

[@Gingerninja738]

Yeah but that removes most of the challenge. Cause like i was in the stream and it was just the lack of healing and catching pokemon which caused us to lose

[@GoesGoingToGoGo]

Our biggest adversary during chat plays Pokerogue wasn’t ourselves, it was KZbin

[@jonathanrogers959]

Maybe for the level 5 starters, you get your pick of all of the starters available in the game, not just Piplup, Turtwig, and Chimchar

[@AstroidmaniaVideos]

That’d be interesting!

[@jonathanrogers959]

@@AstroidmaniaVideos that way you could have up to 6 Pokemon, and have a bit more variety of options when it comes to wearing her team down

[@thatperson2537]

I have to say Dylan was super wholesome in this video. Super supportive and you could tell by the end dad mode had kicked in and he seemed genuinely worried for Frank. Absolute chad

[@N1shikki]

I didn't expect this vid to be as fun as it was due to the subject but I was wrong and this is STILL heat. You convey such unique voice and style in your videos. fr my youtube GOAT!

[@bible.animations]

I respect posting a video of all your failures, as a fellow creator I can relate to the wasted time and energy

[@BigRigCreates]

Happy pride month everyone! Frank finally released all of his unreleased videos from the closet.

[@adef]

This video is excellent and so validating to watch, as someone who regularly scraps projects. I’m somehow just now discovering your stuff and I can confidently say it’s some of the most well produced, funniest work on the platform. Kudos and I can’t wait to watch more!

[@joeyhowell6872]

You're so creative with your ideas dude! Don't stop trying things out. I don't think this is time wasted at all either. You just learned some ways it doesn't work and you hopefully learned some boundaries to have in terms of how much time or energy it takes to do if it's affecting your life adversely. Please don't give up or ever think your fans will ever be completely disappointed for you trying to get some cool content out

[@kayla_eevee]

This is the first video of yours I've watched so I'm not familiar with how you prefer to approach things but it seems like a lot of these "failures" would be a lot easier to handle by reframing the concept from "I am going to do this" to asking "can this be done?" That way, an attempt is never a failure. A success would feel massively rewarding while a "failure" is just exploring the best possible strategies. Either way, I love challenges like these so I'm definitely subscribing. Just try not to let "failures" get to you too much. A win is nice but the real fun with stuff like this is in exploring and exploiting the mechanics of the game.

[@RonTheSeraphim]

I absolutely loved this video. I don’t think people realize how hard content creation is and how much actually fails and this helps with that. Thank you for sharing!

[@fsgdevil7959]

The secret chat plays pokerouge stream was fun as hell

[@gabrielfelipe820]

I discovered your channel recently, and watched many, I mean MANY videos, and you really improved a lot. I mean, the sponsor part is more entertaining than some of the old videos, so much charisma

[@louisloutsch5765]

This is just such a good video to show roadblocks or some failures you have jn projects which inspires me as an designer so good video frank

i would love a full video on that explanations for what can beat that immortal pokemon, i know people love super niche stuff like that

[@riventriss3960]

I love how much thought goes into your videos. They're always something unique.

[@kilseth5075]

love the content, and videos like these who show failed attempts show that even a king like you has some bad days. keep it going!

[@salmonofwisdom3804]

I’d legitimately love to see you make a blender model of every Pokémon fused together, even if it isn’t in the game it would still be super entertaining

[@Dark.Wing.Venom.]

Frankie we will never Forget about the Olive Garden Breadsticks (post 14)

[@Jadex56]

The editing on your videos is always amazing. Stay creative

[@lychee_girl]

Genuinely dude, the ideas you come up with are the crazy kind of unnecessarily complicated bullshit that, if i were a KZbinr, would be the kind of content I would love to make. High effort, inconsequential shitposting/trolling is a genre in and of itself, and you sre the master of it. I look forward to and love every single video you make

[@tifashepard5327]

I really look forward to seeing what crazy content you come up with. Keep up the good work

[@noslemon]

Bro you make the best pokemon content on youtube. Keep trying your crazy, wild, amazing video ideas

[@HeyItsMayBug]

Just goes to show that not every idea will pan out, but you should always keep trying and keep being creative! Just because one idea is a bust, doesn’t mean you won’t learn a valuable lesson from that idea that will help make the next idea an outstanding success!

[@plogan3009]

I love all of these attempt at cool new ideas I am super excited to see more of what youve got in that brain of yours!

[@tpfoxCastro]

The saddest part of this video is the time used being described as "wasted". All those previous projects not only gave you knowledge, but also content for THIS video. The time you spent on them is not wasted time!

[@paradocks184]

I am always blown away by the quality of your presentation

[@bennorman3419]

Your creativity is really amazing. Make a project and if it succeeds make a video out of it. Or fail and still get a video out of it. Flawless.

[@MahueRaihe-yk9hp]

Here’s an idea, make a Pokemon draft league with all your mates that you do videos with, any pokemon goes for selection, vs each other once a week for points to go towards standings on a ladder, BO3 one single battle, one double battle and then coin flip for the third battle. Twist is each week you randomize abilities for every BO3 so you could have a hadron engine Miraidon one week and then truant the next…. Last twist, you just cheat and pick any ability you want every week and try not to get caught.

[@FreeThuggerNOW]

Bro i doubt you will read this, but i still wanna say, that video you made simulating pokemon 1v1's to find the strongest one, was randomly reccommended to me and as someone who never watched pokemon content, the absurdly high quality of your content made me sit through that whole thing and like 5 more videos including this one.

[@mynameiscal3478]

That second idea kinda reminds me of this show I used to watch where a guy would fight the final boss first. Also more member content pls. Maybe a final fight first short live stream?

[@GooseGuy-sq6sf]

YOU SOULD FUSE ALL MEGA POKÉMON TOGETHER!!!!!!!!

[@GooseGuy-sq6sf]

Plz 🙏. I need to see what it looks like and how good it is

[@Glucenaphene]

0:24 is the very middle one a master chief helmet from halo lol

[@MBeach-dm2mv]

Im gonna copy this in all vids to get the chance higher. I do have a small idea that might be hard to pull off but cool to do. Idk if this is possible but you should try to code double battle mechanics. Me and my opponent picks 2 and leaves 1 starter like Pat did in his tournament video you were in. You could try to code switching out the duo of starters you get but instead of one switching, both do, kinda like soul link. And if 1 dies the other one does. Also an extra idea, combine moves, stats, picking the best ability, and same items, but you don't have to do that. I don't really know much about pokemon battling but I thought I'd be a cool idea. I really hope you see this, I love you videos and I've been subbed for a while (not on this account) also your vids, 💯

[@undeadwolfemilia]

[@GeorgeDCowley]

Could you do the Henry sequel in two parts? First, make a video assuming people have watched the first part, then make an expanded version for those who haven't.

[@mixiesticks]

It's okay Frank, you've gotta think about all of the crumpled up sketches that artists don't release when you come upon moments like this. Not every idea is meant to be fully rendered. Sometimes, they're just a lesson for you to learn something. I hope that you aren't discouraged by them but instead end up finding something that will help you with your next few ideas!

[@earendilthemariner5546]

I really enjoy frank's editing style. Hilarious

[@MRkailey2011]

Maybe a tip, Use The decimate modifier. The switch isn't that powerfull so you would need to Lower the faces. But you prolly already knew that.

[@MasterAbeer101]

This is a great video idea. Always remember that without failure there is no success!

Hey man I have a troll idea for you.

[@darklightning2848]

This is what we’d normally call unused content in video games.

[@oMuStiiA]

For the responding to comments video, imo sometimes it's okay to make videos made just for prior viewers who already know what's going on, without having to recap everything. As long as you provide easy access to prior videos, new viewers can always go back to get the context if they're interested in the idea. And a lot of people are pretty good at inferring context enough to still enjoy a video on a subject they don't have prior knowledge about. I think in particular on a video about responding to comments on a prior video it's especially forgivable.

[@kolab5620]

Have you considered partnering with Poké-Artists like Truegreen7 to make a video? Get one or two on board to design Fakémon for a then-we-fight or something. You’ve definitely got the skills to make a banger out of it.

[@setpimus]

Most of these have me thinking you should have just made the video anyway with what you had. You don't actually have to succeed in what you set out to do for the video to be entertaining. In fact "it's possible in theory but here's what's preventing it from working in practice" is a perfectly satisfying conclusion.
