JWittz should make a updated version of this list.

[@NeoGraena]

Josh Dracoian yee

[@ZephrylTV]

He should make an updated version of this intro

[@crystalqueen9711]

Actually I'm glad he scrapped it

[@Coolhand118]

Josh Dracoian ikr

[@zanerich9460]

Josh Dracoian why did KZbin just recommend me a video from 2010.

[@ZdsZodyrus]

Video made before gen 5....holy shit this was an old video

[@AndrewRibbit]

Hi

[@The_Real_Gonk_Droid_]

Hi

[@SplashCity46]

And now it’s even older!

[@ajddavid452]

we are now at gen 8

[@BrutalDawnFawn]

Now this is an old comment! Lol

[@HazelSolitaire]

0:27 I was honestly not prepared to see that.

[@70callen70]

XD same here..

[@melissaduran6078]

Wtf!!!😂😂😂

[@Jonas_TGCW]

Maxime Bernier hi

[@MintleafCakes]

I honestly stopped what I was doing when that came on. I froze. And I cringed. *Hard.*

[@MintleafCakes]

@Hollow Tim Well that's a bit rude isn't it. Let people enjoy and dislike what they please. I don't even remember what this comment was in relation to, anyway.

[@MasterQuestMaster]

2:35 Splash does damage!

[@gamercadance8720]

In the RPG games though it doesn't.

[@gamercadance8720]

***** Geez I was just trying to help...😳

[@seedot5739]

MasterQuestMaster omg lol ahhahahahaha

[@MsKTMvalley]

I wonder if it's splash with boiling water. That'd make more sense 😂

[@galaxysamurai6980]

MsKTMvalley Then the Pokémon would inflict self damage.

[@ToniBingi]

watching this in 2019... wow. this is almost 9 years old. i feel old.

[@iMac9991]

We are as far away from this video, in 2020, as this video was far away from the gen 2 games

[@ZombieInsane09876]

Oh my

[@splitsecond777]

Jaywittz should make an updated updated updated version of this list - some guy 2023

[@MintleafCakes]

Ah, this screams 2010 and I _live_ for it.

[@JMcAfreak]

I've got to say, Wailord EX, from the Sandstorm set of Ruby and Sapphire cards, was probably the redeeming EX card. I abused it so much. It was a tank, weighing in at 200 hp. On top of that, its attack, Dwindling Wave did 100 damage for 4 energy, minus 10 for each damage counter on Wailord. HOWEVER, using its 1-energy attack, Super Deep Dive, Wailord could retreat FOR FREE (as opposed to its normal cost of 5), heal 30 hp, and throw another benched Pokemon out onto the field.

[@harold5337]

Gardevoir EX from sandstorm was also a phenomenal card. Got second at worlds. But he’s talking about the RSE ones, not the sandstorm and dragon ones.

[@josseramos7330]

could you do an updated version of this sometime in the future?

[@Jonas_TGCW]

Josse Ramos hi

[@whimsicalcharizard1462]

Bye

[@venompogg4231]

the profit intro was a amazing

[@vernievernies]

Old Jwittz...So young...So innocent...

[@raziphaz2219]

this is ancient now

[@KDBBM]

Pokemon, a real man's game

[@zack4956]

Look at that high resolution thumbnail.

[@sheikahblight]

Just got recommended this. The thumbnail is scuff. I love it.

[@maskofice9432]

Okay, I'm 1 minute in, and watching it for the first time in 2015. JWittz, you really used to do that for your intro? I think that just caused me to laugh the most I have in a while. I'm glad you removed it, because I don't think I'd be able to take you seriously if you had kept that.

[@H1V3M1ND1]

The beat wasn't perfect but I thought it was dope lol I think it's a great intro

[@Mega-3]

Seven years later, and that rap is still beautiful!

[@jakubpiasecki3903]

Who's looking for comment from 6 years ago?

[@jakubpiasecki3903]

Ok

[@mikesmith2424]

Man I love rewatching this video

[@pokestar9994]

"I'm tryin to up the quality" *watches is 2017* *720p, cringey intro, bad mic at beginning* Oh.

[@skullo5557]

it’s good tho

[@soulwolfx2291]

This is really good for 2010 lol

[@immortalsun]

This was 9 years ago.

[@darkscorpion-donzaloog]

Unown's good for spelling out your name, obviously. :)

[@Jonas_TGCW]

Pendulum Panda hi

[@TOYMOUNTAIN]

Watching this in 2018 is very nostalgic.

[@bean3550]

Wow, it's been almost 8 years I've been watching your channel. You've come a really long way, Josh!

[@Flamestar320]

Even with the outdated quality of this video, it's still a classic!

[@QuiverDancer]

Loads of nostalgia

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

Yay! I own the worst card ever in English AND German. ^.^

[@starplatinum4344]

Tallen Smith Good for you, here's a cookie

[@heidiheidi8291]

Sara Tifft T.T missed it by a week

[@VaderTheWhite]

The evil of the Dome Fossil rears its ugly head once more...

[@Jonas_TGCW]

Vader the White hi

[@Kookzer]

You forgot promo suicune. :I Ability: Whenever you attach an energy to Suicune, discard an energy attatched to Suicune. If Suicune has no energy attatched to it, you cannot attatch an energy to Suicune. I think that's what it said.. Idk.

[@plasmo9891]

That was only for water energy from your hand and it only needed one to attack, you had to use it with other cards with effects that let you move energy from one pokemon to another.

[@Kookzer]

Oh, okay thanks. c:

[@MrAdamelma]

cookietwizzler what era was it

[@fireassassin123]

Huh... I actually have this card. It has the Poké Body Pure Body, "To attach a water energy card from your hand to Suicune, you must discard an Energy card attached to Suicune. (Attach the water energy, and then discard an Energy card from Suicune.)" Along with the attack Hypno Wave, which cost 3 energy (1 water, 2 colorless) and does 30+ a coin flip affect, "Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage. If tails, this attack does 30 damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep." It has 70 HP, a weakness to electric, no resistance, a retreat cost of one, and was the promo card that came with the Pokémon 4 Ever VHS... It's one of the few movie promo cards that I still have, the others being: Pokémon the 3rd movie promo Entei with reverse holo, Pokémon the 3rd movie promo Unown J, and the Pokémon the First Movie Promo Mewtwo

[@kprojectskurt]

I was expecting Imakuni as top 1

[@TheVampireviolet]

With all the new cards, I’d love to see a redux of this video

[@RedAgent420]

It’s been 12 years and I was just recommended this

[@Hollow_Tim]

Congratulations

[@RedAgent420]

@@Hollow_Tim yo thanks bro

[@beanburrito4405]

It’s crazy that this top 20 only covers the 20 worst cards from the first half of the TCG’s history. I remember watching this when I was in middle school lol

[@yusukethings7806]

how did i get here

[@NeonTotodile]

"You can't Hitmontop this" BRILLIANT!

[@paullino5]

I've been subscribed to JWittz's for a little while and haven't seen his older stuf and that intro...was amazing, I loved it.

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

I remember watching this video on my old iPad at my dad's house on his wifi. How I long for those times of innocence.

[@MindDucko]

I feel like the Unown series has more purpose in being an aesthetic card, instead of actually having playable value. And I believe that may also be the same with maybe a few other cards as well.

[@pollo9500]

If the intro is never gonna be done again... It will not be missed.

[@Jonas_TGCW]

pollo9500 hi

[@spongefan155]

HEY!!

[@ahadnagy167]

I'm so glad your videos have gotten better in the last four years

[@bcat010]

6 years later and I still enjoy coming back to this video.

[@marcocava268]

Who else is here in the 2019?

[@AvengerofBronze]

a lot has changed in four years

[@Jonas_TGCW]

AvengerofBronze hi

[@temmie2032]

eh

[@spongefan155]

8 Years Later Still Really Good

[@sarahlind5255]

I'm watching this on Christmas Eve 2015 and JWittz thank you for changing the intro

[@TrevorCS02]

Omg!! Hes accually a good rapper/beat boxer!

[@jacksongroat8270]

In it's day, Base set Haunter was certainly not terrible, simply because of the other decks people were playing. Speedy sleep decks could use Haunter to counter the godawful Mulligan Mewtwo decks, if mewtwo spends one tern asleep, you knock it out, and the game could well be over. I played it in some events and it was not a bad rouge deck. It was also a good counter for Hitmonchan, a card every Haymaker deck centered on.

[@4besideyouintime]

magic the gathering had 2 full expansions of troll cards, a pokemon card that commands you to shuffle your deck seems completely normal in a playforfun context

[@ChasRico]

I'm laughing at the quality of this. JWittz this is old video gold. You've come so far :D

[@williamwinder3466]

5:00 how ever much of a statistical improbability you can draw until your deck is gone and you lose. Not just worthless, it's deadly to the wrong player.

[@creepingking7]

these cards may suck but the song was cool XD

[@mikofox9798]

Why is this suddenly in my recommended.

[@hatsuneMiku-xd2xi]

Same

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

We absolutely need an update on this list. 10 years old!

[@HenryZhoupokemon]

Some of these cards are actually rare and cost quite a lot.

[@poop12299]

That just makes it worse

[@taallmaann4781]

kevin Laflin how? sell it on ebay Get RICH!!!

[@HenryZhoupokemon]

yep

[@taallmaann4781]

Henry Zhou XD

[@Senydd]

It's not about rubbish cards in terms of price, it's playability.

[@JokerPhantomThief]

Hey man, I trolled the hell out of my friends using the base set Gastly. It was hilarious. Finally, I woke up. Sleeping gas. FUCK!

[@johnphillips956]

I really like all your videos, they are informative and great. It's kind of funny to watch how your first series of pokemon video's turned out.

[@QuintMarvel]

This is the video that made me subscribe. I can't believe that was only four years ago. Things have really changed for me and Jwittz.

[@hypocritikill3205]

yoi subbed when you were 6? yeah. right.

[@williamshaughnessy1740]

Oh my... You really have come far! :3

[@cynthiakawaii3883]

I have base set gastly! Lol

[@FarikoWishless]

I never knew until I came back to his videos but nice. Back to the present.

[@colinkeane9070]

That thumbnail tho

[@gamercadance8720]

Okay here are the cards JWittz had shown that I currently own as we speak: The original Bill card Jungle Marowak That non ex Hitmonchan Jungle Scyther (mines Holographic) Full Heal (Special Energy Full Heal, and regular Full Heal, the yellow one) Switch (the one with the Magnemite and Kakuna and one with out any Pokemon) Base Set Gastly (I own two of them) Gust of Wind (The exact one Wittz showed in the vid) Haunter (The one shown in the video and a different one) Cyrus's Conspiracy

[@tigger211000]

Here are the ones I've got: The Magikarp in the intro Mom's Kindness New Bill Fossil Kabuto Full Heal Unown ! Gust Of Wind Base Set Haunter Bebe's Search Fighting Energy Energy Removal Energy Removal 2

[@dartvid]

Now those are some OG KZbin vibes

[@FyveElemental]

ohhhh my god, they suggested I watch this in 2017..... I had no idea little Jwittz used to be such... such an adorable low quality nerd! congrats on getting so far man, the face of pokemon commentary, kudos.

[@sparkz2267]

marowack knows call for help SOS encounters found 7 years before pokemon sun and moon 0-o

[@DragoonBB]

Booya 123 yep and now skarmory can basically use the same move for just one energy.

[@Colin12475]

Those are some shitty cards, alright.

[@ToniBingi]

you know what i just realised? mary's impulse can also be devastating if you get really 'lucky' - because in the unlikely event that you get 5 or more heads, you're basically milling yourself and possibly decking out. a better version would have you toss a specific number of times, like 3. then you have a good chance of drawing at least 2, and a decent chance of 4. and this also prevents you from accidentally decking out from too many heads.

[@Mobius14]

I'm for reintroducing Minion of Team Rocket as a supporter card which lets you do the effect without a coin flip, and shuffles it into the deck.

[@zeaneko]

Update this lol...

[@katzuma7641]

lol, draw 2 cards in Pokemon sucks, but draw 2 cards in Yu-Gi-Oh is banned

[@invaderzim1842]

Kevferno exodia is the reason

[@katzuma7641]

Turki Alamri oh yeah, exodia decks would be very good

[@ShuraEssays]

No, it's not Exodia. It's the fact that every deck in the game would play as many copies as possible at once, because it's a card that gives you an extra option in a game with very few limits on what you can do in a turn. A six cars starting hand when your opponent has no way to stop your plays is pretty much the same thing as Exodia for most decks. Correction: most meta decks.

[@abominus566]

with the moltres the whole shuffling thing, symbolizes how a pheonix becomes reborn from the ashes

[@GiantBluebird]

Its so surreal to watch a jwittz video this old

[@wormgirl481]

I have a Moltres. Not Blaine's, but Team Rocket's. It's Japanese, for some reason. (I seriously don't even know how I get them.)

[@thatradfailure5197]

I have a Japanese Pocket-Monsters Butterfree.

[@thatradfailure5197]

Idk why I like this video.

[@rayman1220]

I have a lot of these cards..... fffffffuuuuu.

[@Jonas_TGCW]

Mewbone hi

[@3979BarnacleS]

If your opponent lost all of their pokemon after using Blain's Moltres when you still have a basic on your bench, you win the game even if you flip tails because your opponent doesn't have anymore pokemon.

[@Bergwelt133]

I love the video, i mean today (7 years after its upload) it works as perfect excample of how extremly youtube clips has changed over the past years. i mean back then this intro was state of the art. *nostalgia :P

[@ImportAustralia]

"Call for Friend makes this card horrible!" Then... then don't put another energy on it and don't use Call for Friend. If a move sucks, don't use it. Marowak was certainly nothing special but I would definitely say just off the top of my head, Base Goldeen/Seaking were worse.

[@MatthewCampbell765]

When you say that it's "just your opinion", I'm not sure how factual that is. The usefulness of a Pokemon card is a measurable fact. It's probably more accurate to say "as far as I can tell".

[@Gigameth89]

That Marowak attack "Call A Friend" can actually work very well. Test it out in a Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee deck, using only Vanilla/Jungle/Fossil sets. That was how I'd always win, if my Hitmonchan were being shy.

[@k-milk263]

But seriously, 4 ENERGIES.

[@xxwolfblazexxaj9345]

In the beginning you showed the magikarp at the beginning of my deck!

[@leobull4533]

The description for the 2008 magikarp is amazing, it basically states "thought to be the weakest pokemon ever. Nobody knows quite how it managed to survive." Wow

[@kristianbrandt3012]

Really it's a shame about the Rocket machines because the trainer card art in that set was brilliant.
