Through the 1500s! (Presidents Vs. Random Battles Ladder: Episode 8)

[@Oswell_e64]

"We just lost our viewers because they don't give a sh** about any of this" I'm crying man😭😂

[@Dylxan327]

Ayy thanks my man glad you liked the episode haha. Means a lot. When I give the shoutout in the next special I’m gonna make a joke with Joe saying “what the hell is a ZAR” or something haha

[@NidoKnight]

These are some of the best scripted AI videos I’ve watched on the whole platform. Your channel is hands down my favorite to listen to while I’m suffering at work dude. I cackle all the way through lmao. Thank you.

How do you not have at least 10k subs yet. I know the upload schedule is what it is right now, but regardless, the quality of the content is so high that you would deserve at least that. Love your content bro keep it up

[@Dylxan327]

ayy thanks Godz that means a lot my man. I'm hoping to get up there obviously. I still need to figure out how to reach out to more of an audience. I think I just need to have one short do really well for me, but I gotta have that idea. Still waiting for it to hit me. But in the meantime just doing my thing thanks for the support!

[@Konslufius]

Hell yeah brother, the Vigoroth's are taking over this channel. Good shit, Dylxan. It is nice to have you back. 🦥

[@Dylxan327]

Haha knew you were gonna like that sluf. Thanks so much for the donation brotha you’re a real one. Next special should be like 2 or 3 episodes from now when Joe finally makes the secret base so make sure you see your shoutouts during that one. Anywho again Preciate the support and your activity in the discord. You da man

[@hectorlumbagoCringe]

Love this

[@CostaZ_101]

Another BANGER by Dylxan. Excellent work!! Hope you reach 5k before 2024.

[@Dylxan327]

Ayy Preciate it Costa, up to 4982 as of Wednesday night I should be good! Let’s go brotha thanks for everything seriously.

[@prof_cooley]

I love the showdown series, it's really helping me understand new strategies and tactics. I've been trying to get to Master Rank in S/V only to realize I suck😂 Hope to be good enough to battle in the next tourney.

[@Dylxan327]

ayy sorry I'm just now seeing this Prof! Thanks a ton for the continued support and the super thanks man. I'm glad it's helping you learn some competitive pokemon but uh I don't know much besides random battles on showdown haha. I just really like how every pokemon is all of a sudden viable in a single tier.

[@LEnthusiast]

I just noticed this after the 5th or so rewatch of this video but Joe's Fezandipiti at 5:28 is actually a shiny one. I've only seen a shiny in randbats one other time like 7 years ago, that's sick!

Hope to see the next episode of the emerald series soon ! Hope everything is good bro, hope you had a merry Christmas and hopefully we will both have a happy new year

[@Dylxan327]

Thanks brotha merry Christmas and happy new year! Thanks for the consistent support throughout the series! Planning on dropping a tier list video of the mainline Pokémon games hopefully on the 1st, then I’ll be working on the next emerald episode after that.

[@rodriamarog]

Your showdown content is my favorite bro I love it, been waiting for a new episode of this for ages. Love you man!

[@Dylxan327]

Ayy I know you been asking for it. I’m gonna drop a presidents do a tier list this coming week, then the next emerald episode, then back to the showdown series. It’s hard having multiple series going while also trying to experiment with individual videos too. But the climb will certainly continue!

[@rodriamarog]

@@Dylxan327 I appreciate it bro, im trying to do showdown propaganda on your posts hoping you dont let it die, because I saw you said it wasnt as popular as the emerald series 😅

@Dylxan327 It was Fantastic as always! Great Content! Not a single video that I hate that you made. Keep up the Great Work!

[@27Bayleefs]

good video as always Dylxan and great battles. And for me No doubt I always seem to miss Sky uppercut. Sky nopercut is more like it. same with Blaze kick. I love Blaziken but I missed a lot of easy wins with that chicken.

[@Dylxan327]

Lol sounds like someone picked up a blind torchic in their emerald playthrough

[@willowwisp2420]

I gotta say, i thought your previous vids were pretty meh. But hot damn did this video make me laugh. Felt like it was an actual group of friends roasting each other on the game. Excellent step up in narrative quality.

[@Dylxan327]

hey thanks for the feedback my man! I appreciate the honesty. I actually rewatched some of my first episodes of both the showdown series and the emerald series, and I quickly noticed a lot of things I would change in their conversation quality and jokes. So I definitely am trying to improve on those. Although that all being said, I'm DEFINITELY gonna have to get better at showdown too lmao.

[@TheHeavieKiwie]

The climb continues! Let's gooo!

[@nateaniel5437]

Good vid again dylxan i like the highlight of 42% across

[@Dylxan327]

Yeah there’s some neat things you can deduce from movesets based on those numbers. I’ll try to have them point it out more often. Glad you liked it Nate!

[@LetsPlayDelo]

Nice vid, one question tho: After the last battle it says 1559 ELO, but than in the profile overview it said 1550. Did Donald lose some matches again without telling us?

[@Dylxan327]

I noticed that too I’m not really sure what happened honestly. I had to redo the ladder twice to get back to where we were with a similar record after the previous account got banned. As of now there hasn’t been any suspicious activity besides that haha. But truthfully, if I have an episode where I just lose 4 battles in a row, I very well might reset the account and get back to where I was and redo the episode again. It would save me time. But I haven’t had to worry about that just yet.

[@LetsPlayDelo]

@@Dylxan327 I can understand that from a narrative viewpoint it would suck to stagnate at some ELO, at the same time I think nobody expects you to only win all the time. Also it would be kinda funny to see the bois trying to explain 4 losses in a row. > Joe loses the first game Joe: "Alright, this game was stupid, lemme take another one" > proceeds to lose the second game Donald: "Holy shit Joe, lemme show you how its done" > proceeds to lose two games aswell Barack: "Okay, I think I'm gonna pass for this episode and we try out luck next time" > insert rant by Donald about Barack being a p*ssy However you go about it, this series is great and I cannot wait for the next one!

[@discoml]

Goated

[@texasyoshi]

this is so, so good.

[@LiveGame555]

To be honest, my "Stone Miss" would probably be Fire Blast and Hydro Pump. I always like to run Flamethrower and Surf/Scald because they always miss for me, probably because they're useful as reliable damage, but you obviously need the higher damage on wallbreakers and tanks that can sit around and eat up a few miss turns. On the other hand, I feel like Stone Edge and Focus Blast almost always hit for me, I swear for the longest time I thought they were 90% accuracy moves. The truth is it's mostly our biases and hopes that affect our perceptions of when we hit and miss, kind of like what I was explaining earlier with Fire Blast and Hydro Pump. If you actually recorded it, it's probably accurate to the RNG numbers, so it's really all in our head.

[@mr.sandman7339]

It's almost funny whenever my opponents confidently click (and hit) Focus Blast even though it's overall unnecessary and missing would put them in an awful position. I rarely even run it bc I only click it when I absolutely have to and even then, I just miss anyway. That is until I put a Blunder Policy on my mon and they never miss a move again. My "Stone Miss moves" have to be Drill Run and Air Slash. 95% accurate but I always seem to miss when I need them most or the opponent switches in recklessly

[@Dylxan327]

nah nah nah we don't need to talk about biases and actual statistics. Stone edge is 50% accurate I will appease no mathematical discussion.

[@sapphire009]

[@vessel__]

Hey I’ve been meaning to ask. How do you see the extra info below the opponents pokemon? Is there a setting to turn on or is it some kind of mod?

[@tanmanstudios]

I feel like these guys would go crazy on a nuzlocke

[@Dylxan327]

Oh I cannot wait for the platinum hc nuzlocke after the emerald series is over. I’m already planning out the plot of the whole thing like who’s gonna die and all that. It’s gonna be so good.

[@AnjaGregson]

Hydro Pump too, on the same Pokémon Lugia lol. I usually run psychic, Aeroblast, blizzard, and hydro pump on my Lugia. But even if I use hydro pump on like a vaporeon or a lapras I still miss. I know it’s 80% accuracy but still it shouldn’t miss more than half the time

[@Oswell_e64]

It finally dropped and I just ordered food. It's a good day

[@Dylxan327]

Les go hope you liked it

[@dinosaurking8637]

Hurricane and Air Slash seems to land for me when I use my flying dragons like Noivern and Dragonite

[@Dylxan327]

fax no way air slash is 95% accuracy

[@patrickschmitz4586]

My miss move is hydro pump and heat wave- I never miss fire blast or rock slide strangely, but heat wave is a guaranteed miss for me lol

[@Dylxan327]

oh heat wave is something else. I feel like I've been pretty lucky with hydro pump but heat wave yeah, 75% accurate at best.

My stone miss is compound eyes boosted thunder on galvantula

[@K1llua188]

how does it show how much damage you do when you hover over the move? i hate when i think a move will do a lot but it ends up doing nothing 😭

[@Dylxan327]

The google chrome showdown extension actually took off the damage calc ranges. Not sure why, maybe the creator is trying to fix it because it was unreliable. But if you want to use the extension that I had during this episode, just google Pokémon showdown advanced tooltip. I think all the extensions only work on chrome

[@clixxygold]

I was just taking about this earlier

[@saintjamesent.866]

Yeah, Donald is right about the Gunk Shot. It is NOT 80%, 60% at most. 😢

[@AnjaGregson]

Aeroblast on my dang Lugia in soulsilver always misses. 95% accurate but I swear I hit blizzards and thunders more often than I can land an Aeroblast

[@Dylxan327]

Bruh I remember using lugia in soulsilver against the elite four when I was young and I think I missed multiple aero blasts against Bruno. It’s like the reason I don’t really care for lugia nowadays

[@somerandomcrap0718]

I get that it has especially low accuracy, but Thunder hits about 20% of the time for me

[@King0nyx]

Use rain dance or a mon with the drizzle ability. Thunder hits 100% of the time in the rain.

[@Dylxan327]

Yeah but hitting inaccurate moves provides the source of dopamine I want from video games

Stone miss for me is Aqua Tail or Stone Edge.
