Love that regionals are back, but regional vlogs were def something that were really missed! Super great and fun video!

[@andrewdenkus1053]

Regional vlogs are back. Nature is healing.

[@hotdamnsucka]

Got top 4 at Southern California regionals back in 2009-2010 season…seeing this video brings back those feelings. Pokémon community is the best community, hands down.

It was an honor to meet and play against you!! Thank you for making my first regional a great one

[@bonfire99]

My daughter was so excited to meet you in SLC. Thanks for taking a moment for the Juniors and for bringing new folks into the community. And I apologize that my wife said you had a lovely voice, haha!

[@willschoeff]

Was great to meet the whole squad this weekend! Great to have regionals and the vlogs back - looking forward to Indy

Regionals coming back is so great!!! Can't wait for indy.

[@JessePrker]

Very smooth video! I love all the subtle editing. Going x-3 drop definitely sucks, but at least it gave you more time to do interviews.

[@Keebs84]

After watching the FGG tournaments and then watching the SLC stream, I find myself preferring you and Chip as the commentators. You two have such great chemistry together.

[@StalwartTiger35]

I missed these vlogs so, so much. I've watched your 2019 worlds vlog at least 10 times since lockdown, hyped to watch this!

[@Cherryexe-mr3mt]

When your in red for a tornado warning there’s nothing better than to relax and get some regional vlog nostalgia

[@5dumars]

Great video Mahone. I watched all your vlogs in the season of Covid and it is what got me interested in playing IRL. So glad you continue to make them.

[@KashvinderMann]

The great thing about regionals being back is that the blogs are back as well. Loved this one. Was cool to see how you guys were going about with your testing. Sad that you had to drop early but I thought it was really cool that you got to feature many familiar faces in the latter rounds, some I have met through these online tournaments so that was awesome. Looking forward to the next one whenever you get the chance to kick it again and I hope you and the gang will have a blast again! :)

[@jaredbalderas8164]

Man waited all weekend to see this video! Glad to see regionals back! Sorry it didn’t go as planned!

So happy that the tournament vlogs are back! I can't wait to get back into playing in person too.

[@kenneth1523]

Thanks for sharing Tricky Gym. Great to meet the talent in person. Love the mods that can make their decks so successful and hear their satisfaction with their results.

[@natertott75]

It's so cool to see you walking around my home town! Wish I could have been there to meet you. Thanks for the vlog!

[@theyakbasser1014]

I loved this video. Great way to see how large events work since I started playing right before the vid.

[@paulbennett2665]

Thanks for the great videos! Tough break on the tournament, but I'm sure you'll bounce back for the next regional.

[@tonyhoang2286]

great vlog! very happy to see these back, and definitely can't wait for Indianapolis!

[@koushiki.raineru]

Great to have a peek at how tournaments are. I noticed Pokemon is trying to expand here in South-east Asia, hope we get to have tournaments soon in the Philippines.

[@cheryltejano9129]

[@pokedreadhead6089]

Nice video brother!!! don't get down on yourself for not placing! The video was worth it!

[@d4c_reznor470]

No Mew VMax in top 8 was such a surprise. Makes me excited to see if we get any wacky decks in the next regionals top 8

Love the vlogs, keep up the great work.

Will a Rayquaza Vmax deck survive? Also, do they do pokemon tcg?

Was going to play but didn’t get my booster not realizing how far out I had gotten my last vaccine

[@piplup2884]

Real life matches seem a lot more tense than online ones

[@Tankmin]

Super stoked to see suicune make a comeback, in my testing it had a solid mew matchup with choice belt being a thing. In my experience it's a super difficult deck to pilot 100% perfectly within the time limit of a best of 3. I think suicunes are like $2 right now, will hopefully be another cool budget deck at least. Sorry it wasn't your day, you'll get em next time. At least everyone was able to band together and hate mew out of top 8

[@FreePokemonGiveaway]

Awww man it was sad to see you bummed I hope you’ve already moved past it, just one day! You’ll have a deep run next time. You’re still the man!

My friend went and he wanted to say hi to you but got shy hahah
