Why Genesect Is The Greatest Pokemon Of All Time.

[@advgym]

The quality, the presentation, THE VIBE. There has never been a Pokémon TCG Channel like this!

[@BurtsPTCG]

I try my best! Love your kind words ❤️❤️

[@MrHaydnHarry]

This is the kind of content the Pokemon tcg has needed for so long. So much better than opening packs and searching for the same chase cards every time. Inventive and well done, nice.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Aha thank you so much! Never been much of a pack opener so had to put the thinking hat on haha! Appreciate your support :)

[@RiseAgainst369]

those with exaggerated reaction to mediocre cards pulled and waste time announcing even the common cards are the most cringey.

[@Chikido]

Awesome video! I hope Zoroark gets a case in the future. Stand in and Riotous beating are legendary cards on its own and also got decent cards like the vstar or phantom transformation. The top pokémon of the modern era tcg for sure!

[@BurtsPTCG]

I think they will definitely get an ep! Thank you so much for your support!

[@brenomanhaes9322]

Dont forget bw base set zoroark, which won worlds as well!

[@prodigioustcc]

Wow I didn't know Genisect had such a crazy TCG history. I only know him as my amazing Mew draw engine, who knew there was many years and amazing decks in their past life lol. I can't wait to see more of these videos, I think this is an amazing idea. Keep up the stellar work man.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Yeah genesect is a mad one! And appreciate your kind words so much! 🙏

[@ethananderson26]

Didn't notice this video had less than 2k views until the end, and I never would have guessed. Production value and writing is great, looking forward to more of these :)

[@BurtsPTCG]

Hopefully it creeps over 2k soon! ;) appreciate your support my friend 🙏

[@lysandreslab2270]

Love these videos on the history of the game. I came in late and enjoy learning about older meta decks. Fantastic video! Looking forward to future episodes!!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Glad you like it my friend! Means a lot! Next ep is already in the works! 🙌

[@advgym]

It’s the Tone Setting for me! 🔥🫡

[@BurtsPTCG]

Gotta get everyone paying attention eh 👀😉

[@ryanm8832]

Crobat low key has had some good cards

[@BurtsPTCG]

Crobat! Fantastic shout!

[@dixel2047]

Can't wait for more of this series

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much! 🙏 Next ep is getting scripted as we speak! :)

[@ClaytonMathisVO]

I just got back into playing the TCG, I remember loving playing this card and building around it. Genesect was already one of my favorite Pokémon. I was no way a hyper-comp player but it was always fun to use it.

[@BurtsPTCG]

You have a very cool favourite pokemon! Genesect rocks! 🙌

[@Colin-Mascine]

I think Intelleon should be mentioned. I mean both his Vmax cards were really good and his shady dealings card makes him one of the best draw engines of all time. Even the quick shooting Intelleon is a good card, too. Idk, but it is like every card of Intelleon was insane.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Inteleon has had some stinkers tho ngl! And the vmax's were only midtier competitive threats at best i think 😭

[@Colin-Mascine]

[@ItsMeJoji]

An amazingly well made video essay! Genesect is definitely had some awesome cards over the years! Can't wait for the next video!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much! Means a lot 🙌

Another banger bro, I look forward to every video like a kid with their Saturday morning cartoons ❤️🔥

Aha! This is one of the best comments ive ever had 😂🙏

[@TheKanick88]

You are AWESOME‼️ I agree completely with your assessment tha Genesect iz an awesome card in the history of the TCG!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you!

[@alvaricooke2346]

I just have to say WOW to this video! It's impressing and I got to learn the old days meta with the black and white expansions. Keep it going!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Aha glad you liked it my friend! I will definitely keep going don't worry :)

[@artictheiceguy]

Rayquaza and Raikou Amazing rare

[@BurtsPTCG]

Has raikou had enough bonkers cards to be considered the goat? 👀

[@EeveeShadowBacon]

Hmm, genesect is interesting, but I hope we get videos on Mewtwo and Gardevoir. Seriously, in the TCG, those 2 are insane.

[@BurtsPTCG]

They maybe on the list :p

[@TheWillrocks51]

What a fun series. 1 whole episode

[@samuelwabnitz1700]

Your channel just got recommended in my homepage, despite less views and subs than the other Pokemon channels I watch! You've found a niche in an overinflated area of KZbin, and I truly can't wait to watch more of your content. Great work, and may the algorithm always be in your favour :)

[@BurtsPTCG]

love to hear your kind words! currently scripting the next ep of making the case as we speak :)

[@EmerDCP]

Ampharos and Sylveon are my favorites but I’m not sure if the few playable cards they have outweigh the countless bulk cards lol. Btw, I love the addition of the soundtrack indicator on screen. Listening to Exodia right now lol.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Exodia pumps the bangers haha! I'll have a look and amperos and sylveon but i don't think its looking pretty! :p

[@EmerDCP]

If they don’t have anything, I’ll put Arceus out there as a final shout. Surely the VSTAR alone warrants the conversation.

[@ConnorKrohnicles]

I always love the presentation and scripting in your videos like this, you got a real good thing going!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much! Means a lot 🙌

[@Willisachampion]

Can definitely tell you put a lot of time and effort into the presentation of this! This was a fun and informative video! Keep up the awesome work as always Shai! 💪🏻

[@BurtsPTCG]

Took wayyyyy longer then I would like but wanted it to look slick 👀😂 glad you liked it my friend! 🙌

[@beanburrito4405]

Hmm, I wonder which deck won worlds last year… I wonder. Lol. Imo the only Pokemon which gives Genesect a run for its money is Sableye. Seriously, there was the flash-in-the-pan Guardians Rising Sableye, fringe Sableye V and Mega Sableye & Tyranitar GX, the strong Junk Hunt Sableye, the currently dominating Lost Mine Sableye, and the most broken card of all time, Stormfront Sableye. But while Sableye has had more relevant cards and higher highs, it’s also had SOOO MANY garbage bulk prints

[@BurtsPTCG]

Sableye is a top contender but Gardevoir is probably the favourite for now! Im looking to restart tbis series real soon! Appreciate your support!

[@kanti1]

It's hard to deny. You've made an excellent case for the GennyBoi

[@BurtsPTCG]

Ans now has 2023 worlds championships too! 👀

[@insane8o]

Man this is amazing i havent seen much videos like this they are just very fun to watch. I got some world champions pack 2022. The cards were signedby somebody named André Cihao or something(im pretty sure you mentioned him) like that i got -4×Mew V -3×Mew Vmax -4×Genesect V -2×Meloetta -1×Pumpkaboo All of them are fusion strike except Pumkaboo and the trainers that i also got alot. :) (:

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much!i need to make the next ep of this series! Yes Andre Chiasson :)

[@insane8o]

@@BurtsPTCG dont need to thank me :)

[@clairebit]

Going to assume Gardevoir is already in the running (and let’s be honest, will win), so I’d love to see something about Garbodor or Vileplume!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Looking at my planned 10 garde isn't the one I would br choosing as my goat :p

[@sagetbh1]

Amazing video. Very new to the game and lots of good info here!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much ❤️Aww glad to hear it! Got at least ten more episodes planned! Hope you can catch them! 🙌

THIS is what I'm inspired by. This is PEAK CONTENT. Great work and I hope my next video comes out just as good as this! 💚

[@BurtsPTCG]

[@Gio-pb5rm]

Cool series idea. Mons that come to mind for the tittle are Garbodor, Gardevoir, and Mew

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much :) and two of them have eps planned 👀

[@big-maclemont3218]

Love the content, keep it up! Arceus definitely could be a contender

[@BurtsPTCG]

Cheers much appreciated :) you think? 👀

[@zumberburg6527]

Genesect is cool and all in the tcg... But what about Sableye?

[@BurtsPTCG]

Oh dw sableye is definitely one 10 Pokemon planned 👀

[@trainingcourttcg]

Great video dude! Looking forward to the next one in the series!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much! Means a lot ❤️

[@EvanGray]

Awesome video man! Would love to see one on darkrai, its had some killer cards over the years

[@BurtsPTCG]

Darkrai is planned yes! Appreciate your support! 🙌

[@brenomanhaes9322]

Great video. I think the biggest deterrent for genesect's case is since it depends heavily on its 2 crazy good cards, it pales in comparison to sableye. Genesects 2 cards are some of the best in the game, dont get me wrong, but they arent even close to either of sableye's 2 absolutely BROKEN cards.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Appreciate you support! Amd yes sableye has a strong case but had a medley of terrible bulk cards! So will bs interesting to see how it pans out! :)

[@RubexCube1]

This should be an amazing series. Curious what the top 10 is. Off the top of my head I have 12 heavy hitters. Mew mewtwo jirachi ray gardy gallade zoroark genesect sableye lugia crobat darkrai

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much! 🙌I have two on my list you haven't got on yours 👀👀

[@JGCCollectables]

Guess you should do Rayquaza :L

[@BurtsPTCG]

It's on the list! 👀😉

[@backpackerraden6268]

Love the video and the idea! Here's a few I can think of Dragonite: lots of good cards over the years and a variety of different ways it's played. Electrode: not as much recently, but some pretty stellar sacrifice for energy in the early years. Golbat/Crobat: interesting ways to drop damage. Empoleon: iirc DP empoleon and diving draw empoleon were good Lugia: main part of LBS, Team Plasma, and then another solid EX. Oh and the new dominant V Star Archeops: I know it only has like two good cards, but one of them got banned Shaymin: two good EX cards, and a solid HGSS era card Jirachi: lots of good ways to search useful cards Dusknoir: Lv X, DP Dusknoir and Boundaries Crossed dusknoir all solid Absol: Plasma Absol, Absol ex, Roaring Skies Absol iirc had decent success Metagross: Delta Metagross, Metagross GX, Hidden legends Magnezone: Prime, Lv X and Storefront defiantly had success Flygon: several creative ways it's played over the years Donphan: Prime, Plasma Freeze are the two that come to mind immediately Vileplume: Dark Vileplume, Undaunted Vileplume, Ancient Origins Vileplume were all irritating item lock pokemon I guess I got a little carried away there...

[@BurtsPTCG]

Some good ones here for sure! But some of my ten you have missed 😉

[@backpackerraden6268]

@@BurtsPTCG I would sincerely hope that Gardevoir, Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Blastoise and Sableye all made the list haha

Maybe 👀😉

Where are darkrai an mew? 😉

[@YoungBigMac]

solid video! I think mew or rayquaza deserve a video

[@fybso3057]

I think mewtwo could be king, but this series is really interesting!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Mewtwo may or may not be one of the ten listed 👀

[@scratchit3976]

I would say oranguru is the best pokemon on a card. Besides the oranguru V i think all the cards were very good and played a lot, one being even banned.

[@BurtsPTCG]

will let you into a little secret....Oranguru is my goat tcg pokemon! the v might be good with the new tool card rule change too!

[@sethsavage4891]

Lugia definitely has a case though it has a lot of lack luster cards

[@BurtsPTCG]

Lugia is an interesting case! Some proper heavy hitters for sure!

[@zakkman2498]

Sabeleye… 3 top tier cards. Junk hunt, lost mine and that one that copies supporters in the discard

[@BurtsPTCG]

Sableye definitely is a top contender!

[@ultraxatu3027]

My top 3 for most playable tcg Pokémon: 3. Jirachi 2. Oranguru 1. Mew

@@BurtsPTCG almost forgot about gardevoir, would probably swap it with Jirachi

Jirachi would be a great choice! Never the allstar of a deck but almost every single Jirachi has seen play.

Probably is! 👀🙌

Ur probably right but there are definitely contenders 👀

@@BurtsPTCG contenders for the number 2 spot. 😭😂

[@JabbaCR]

Do one on Rayqaza!

It might be on the list 👀

[@Sivta]

Good vid, but there's so much animation of cards bouncing all around the screen, it's hard to follow

[@BurtsPTCG]

Sad times 😮‍💨

[@celestialTangle]

I feel like "bulk" cards aren't a mark against a pokemon in the same way as "this card is meant to be good and just isn't" is - something like Drapion VSTAR or SCV Dondozo ranks lower than a random bulk rare in my book

[@BurtsPTCG]

Fair enough! Makes sense 🙌🙏

[@celestialTangle]

I think a good guideline for what cards even *can* be bad is "has this Pokemon been mentioned by name in promotional material" - Build and Battle Boxes, set descriptions, Trainer's Guides, etc. For example, Radiant Steelix is worse than EVS Galarian Moltres but the random Steelix from Battle Styles isn't even much of a footnote.

Mew definitely has a case for being the best pokemon in the TCG. Well over half of its printings have seen competitive play and it has been the star player in (at least) 2 worlds winning decks (2006 and 2019).
