Gen 5 created some of the best competitive Pokemon ever.

[@othamneil8958]

I think it's a three-way tie between gen 9, gen 5 and gen 3. Gen 9 because of all the Paradox pokemon, three of the swords of ruin, Flamigo, Farigiraf, Ogerpon and Archaludon. Gen 3 because of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Salamence, Metagross, Pelipper, Torkoal, Milotic, Latios, and the mega forms of Gardevoir, Mawile, and Medicham Gen 4 might be up there, thanks to Cresselia, Heatran, Garchomp, Rotom Wash, Gastrodon, and Bronzong

[@cyphate]

For anyone interested, it takes 354 seconds for incineroar to appear in a video about Gen 5 Pokemon.

I would venture to say that even though its not relevant to competitive, Darkrai is an easy contender for the most nerfed pokemon next to Thunderus

[@Wyntixty]

latios 😭😭😭

[@simonteesdale9752]

Mewtwo. Basically every development of the game has nerfed it, outside of it's megas. New types, Special split, Bug/Ghost moves existing, other Pokemon getting actual Abilities, better psychic types being released (Calyrex-S). It also doesn't use Dynamax or Tera well either.

[@yizzardpalmero]

When Wolfe said most nerfed pokemon I literally immediately said “Smeargle… and I guess Darkrai by extension” lol But also Zacian, Greninja, and Cinderace were pretty hard nerfed imo

[@orangeoblivion]

@@simonteesdale9752 power creep affects all older Pokemon, it’s not a nerf to Mewtwo in particular

[@simonteesdale9752]

@orangeoblivion Yeah, but it’s not just power creep. It’s also the mechanics of the game as well. Gen 2 introduced 2 new types to resist (or immune to!) it and almost halved it's special defence. Gen 3 gave abilities to Pokemon and mewtwo got... pressure. The phys/special split was largely good (M2 got Aura Sphere), but U-turn was bad. Hidden abilities were great for many Pokemon, and M2 got... Unnerve.

[@graveexiler]

14:58 for those wondering you pronounce it that way because it comes from the german word „drei“ which means 3

[@Syl700]

It's also why deino is said "Die-no" and Zweilous is "z-why-luss", for the same reason.

[@graveexiler]

@@Syl700 yes that‘s right thanks for adding

[@RasmusVJS]

@@Syl700 Wouldn't it be pronounced "T-why-luss" if it's from the german 2? Or is my bad German manifesting again? xD

[@Syl700]

@@RasmusVJS I know close to nothing about german, I just know it's not "dey-no", "z-wey-luss", and "hi-drey-guhn" like most would think, and what my German speaking friend called me out for. But the Z next to the W implies a hard Z instead of a soft Z like what most of English's Zs are. So actually it's more like "tswhy-luss"

[@JakeFish5058]

​@@RasmusVJS tZ-v-aye-los. W is pronounced like V. Z is a sort of tz sound. Ei is pronounce like I (Ie is pronounced ee).

[@juju_rabbit]

Hello Wolfe Glick, I recently discovered your channel and it inspired me to take up online battles as a hobby. Your videos have helped me a lot to select which Pokemon to train and given me a stronger understanding of the game relative to what it otherwise would have been. About a year or so ago my dog Ruby passed away so I would love it if you made a video for the best dog-themed Pokemon of all time. I want to nickname a dog Pokemon after my real-life dog but it must be both strong and adorable. Maybe you will someday advise us of which dog-themed Pokemon are the best or maybe not but I thought it was worth a shot. I'm already a big fan of what you do. Keep up the great work! -Julian

[@juju_rabbit]

Just a quick follow up. I have discovered the Pokémon Graveard. A very fitting and adorable Ghost type to name my dead dog after (it doesn’t matter if it isn’t strong). I am still interested to know which dogs are the best of all time though! Thank you for everything you do Wolfe. -Julian
