Since I’ve been battling, I’ve gotten at least 20 solid matches that I can upload and along with them, I could do maybe 6 or 7 sets videos on some of the pokemon I’ve used. Depending on my upload schedule (which I try to do every other day), that could maybe have me set in itself for a good month and a half without even trying.

Along with that, people have been posting battles against me recently, so I am showing up on other youtubers’ channels as well. I’ll post some link to them below if you would like to see them:

UU Match vs Vet Danc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZriR0TGsq4A (narration is in Spanish! How cool is that?)

NU Match vs Kingnvrtry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N51so1l7v5g

Thank you all for your continued support!

Typical moment on Smogon’s battle finder

Hey everyone! I’m not sure how many people from youtube actually follow me on tumblr, but i just had a quick announcement that I wanted to make for all of you to see.

Starting this week (and possibly for this week only), I will be heading over the the Smogon Wifi Battle Finder (link below) for some DS Wifi battles! I’m really excited to finally being doing this as it is something I have sought to do for a really long time now. I already have a few videos that will be ready to upload to my channel soon, which should be a lot of fun once i get around to doing so. If you want to challenge me, just head over to the Wifi finder and accept one of the challenges I will be posting throughout the day.

well the best way to get into anything again is to just play the game. go on the pokemon showdown simulator and make teams and experiment with stuff. Also, watch videos of pokemon battles and learn from them and most importantly, have fun with it! There is no sense in playing a game you don’t enjoy so do your best to make the most of it!

I realized I have been pretty inactive on this of late so I’m going to try to log onto this tumblr just a bit more. Anyway, for those of you reading this, I had my first DS wifi battle today and it was against none other than Kwandaoren66 or as some of you know him, E-Lo. While i don’t think either of us will be uploading this, you can check it out here around the 20 minute mark:

I was incredibly nervous throughout and just pulled a random bunch of guys from what i have saved (which is basically only gen 1 and 2 because i’m not even close to being done yet), but i thought it was pretty fun! Listening to Eric’s and Rik’s commentary throughout is interesting, especially when the team preview screen comes up, but Rik is somewhat familiar with my shenanigins because we have played a few times on PO in the past. 

Also, if you are curious, my Golduck is max defense which would have left it at around 20% HP left after the Return from the adamant, banded Slaking. It’s substitute would have also not been broken by Braviary’s U-turn without the crit, so i could have potentially swept his team right there

i would have to say any of my instruments tumblrbot

saw this on College Humor and laughed

Back when the Black and White versions were first announced in Japan, I decided to hit up the team builder and make a team comprised entirely of 5th Gen pokemon. As you can see, a lot of these pokemon have their rough Japanese translations just to show you how old this is. It was actually done in November of 2010, so I find it amazing that I’ve maintained my interests in this game for so long and still discover new things every day. Strangely enough, I have never actually made this team and used it in battle, but it was the first team I ever composed that didn’t have multiple weaknesses while resisting almost everything (something I’ve strived to do ever since). Anyway, I figured it would be kind of cool to put up a piece of my Gen 5 history here for you all to see. Maybe I will get around to making this for real some day.

Sidenote: I planned on Seismitoad having water absorb and Zebstrika having Sap Sipper (or Herbivore as it was once called :P)

Hey everyone. I’m going to do another Heatmor video soon and I’m having a little bit of trouble figuring out something. Heatmor gets Superpower as one of its black and white 2 move tutor moves and I feel like this should be a big deal, but as i go through set options with this pokemon, I am having trouble finding much use for it. Heatmor also gets focus blast and has a higher special attack so the only thing that Superpower proves more useful for is because it won’t miss. Also, running a fully physical set for it just seems like an inferior Flareon with the exception of Heatmor having Sucker Punch, but Flareon also gets quick attack. Actually, Heatmor does get Thunder Punch too now which is nice, but i still feel like using a Flareon for this purpose is better because of also having things like Wish and Heal Bell. So then my next though was, what if you go mixed? But then, i realized that there really isn’t anything in NU that you need to go mixed for because of how there really aren’t any standard walls that you see that often. Miltank and Grumpig are somewhat common, but you would generally hit Miltank harder with Focus Blast and Grumpig obviously resists the Superpower. 

Any suggestions?
