WolfeyVGC I love so much these analyses, they’re so funny but at the same time interesting and it’s really good to hear the history from your perspective, also its a good rest from Glacion getting carried by Swamp, keep doing what you love I will watch

[@Ffror]

I just want to add my plus one to the keep it up camp! I only started playing VGC in Sword and Shield, and I feel like there's a huge amount of historical meta experiences that I am missing. The sheer scope of how much time I've missed, as well as some inconsistent quality of content, makes it feel very daunting for me to try to learn on my own about past metagames and what made pokemon work well in them. This series is so much more approachable! You're doing a great job of explaining the context for each match to us sword/shield natives. And it's super cool that you can provide both contemporary and modern analysis as well as personal insights for a lot of them! Anyway, keep it up! Thanks heaps.

The fact that Aaron moved on from this and still plays the game to this day is such a show of character. To go through this at WORLDS TOP 4! I wouldn't even blame him if this was his last game of Pokémon ever. Thank God he never because he is great for the community! Thanks Aaron!

@Julian246 Fischer It's 33% but okay

[@haydenmcqueen2503]

@Julian246 Fischer No problem

[@EGHHN]

I was back than on worlds when it happened and was soo sad for Aaron. Aaron is a good friend and I was confident for him winning that year worlds. I played lando, thundurus, conkel, heatran, cresselia, hydra and to be fair I didn’t use swagger, used taunt instead to be safe.

[@muggcat]

And dark types gaining immunity to prankster definitely makes it feel like there’s more counter play

[@saiyanfreak]

I think they nerfed confusion too much. 66% chance to break through confusion is nuts. Swagger should’ve just had its accuracy cut to 75% and/or lowered the attack buff from two stages to one stage. Confusion can already be removed by switching out, or by randomly snapping out of confusion. As for paralysis, lowering Thunder Wave’s accuracy from 100% to 90% and making electric types immune was smart. Ground types should also be immune to paralysis in my opinion.

At the end of the day Pokemon is a game with percentages and large margins of error. Regardless of skill you can lose a game because the odds weren't In your favor it's not his opponents fault for playing the game to abuse those flaws so it makes sense that Aaron would have perfect sportsmanship

[@Retr0bit]

As someone that did the extent of my playing from 2012-2014, its so nostalgic to see these older matches. I remember watching this very match on the livestream with a ton of other people on IRC. There’s so much great stuff from this period of the game that I’m happy you’re ensuring isn’t lost to time. Also, in regard to the “Swagger is NOT GOD” article title, it’s a combination of that Japanese stream comments of “Swagger is God”, and the Trainer Greetings from Generation 5, specifically “_______ is not _______!”

Wolfe, I know this is a month old, but I LOVE these kinds of videos.

I especially like watching famous matches from Pokemon history, and your analysis is awesome. Keep them coming, please. :)

[@honestshao6160]

Several months later, Will-O-Wisp’s accuracy increased to 85 and electric type were immune from thunder wave. One more generation later, dark type were immune to Prankster, para’s speed drop became 50 percent, swagger’s accuracy became 85, the odd of hitting itself in confusion dropped to 1/3, Tapu Lele and Fini appeared to counter Prankster status spam. Prankster Thundurus finally disappeared from competitive Pokémon battle. All of theses changes probably originated from this game This game single handily shows how nasty competitive Pokémon could be and alarmed GF how should they change this game.
