      (disclaimer: i have not read the manga or anime, so excuse me if i am wrong here.)
      according to gojo himself, he actually HAS been trying to learn rct for a while but he hadn’t been able to get a hold of it. however, assuming he tried to do red as well, this practice would lead to him learning it against toji because it was a life or death situation. he focused entirely on trying to use rct. we can come to a non asspull conclusion that the adrenaline rushing through him and how alarmed his mind was caused his body to reflexively preform rct by itself (this is possible because hakari has instinctive rct during jackpot because of the high amount of cursed energy. cursed energy is generated by negative emotions, and if a normal human can sometimes see a curse during a life or death situation, then the nervousness gojo had could’ve possibly triggered this.), allowing gojo to remember that experience and replicate it.
      think of it like a musician playing a piece for an audtion with a measure that they hadn’t finished practicing. they had ALMOST got it, but they never got it right. on the day they have to play, they are very nervous. they try their VERY best on their performance and manage to just barely do the unpracticed measure right.

    You know, a VGC series with a ban list is conceptually good. But yeah, the way they did it was shitty.

There is no world where Gigalith being the only sand setter is a good one.

    • @Endershock1678
      @Endershock1678 4 месяца назад +5

      Sometimes I agree with this (god I hate seeing Urshifu and Amoongus everywhere), but at the same time, VGC with no ban list is quite diverse and has a lot of variation. Yesterday, we saw a Umbreon make top 4 and a Chandelure make top 16, and this is considered a relatively more centralized format than the previous 2, so I’m not sure bans will improve much.

    • @unknownname3703

      i would like to see it for another rotation at least, while just banning specific pokemon like Urshifu and Incineroar.
      temporary rulesets can give way to some interesting metagame diversity. not just diversity in what pokemon are viable, but diversity in the rulesets themselves. similsr to the variety of smogon other metagames, like STABMons and AlmostAnyAbility.

  • @fatyoshi696
    @fatyoshi696 4 месяца назад +8

    the banlist format having usage-based bans sounds more like a vgc uu, a format like this could absolutely work but the difference is singles has a way lower usage threshold for stuff to drop a tier (if a mon gets under something around 4-5% usage it drops to the tier below, which ends up being everything outside the top 40 or so mons instead of just the top 10) which ensures basically all the clearly stronger mons are banned in the tier below which makes for a completely different landscape, and they also have separate strength-based banlists alongside the usage-based ones in case something busted does slip through the cracks

    I'm gonna be real, having an official format where the top most used Pokemon are just banned is kinda cool. As a spectator, it means we finally get to see some different Pokemon being used that might not have otherwise been considered for a VGC setting. Though that really only works if they ban more than like, 10 Pokemon.
    Anyway, they should give us an official way to play Little Cup in SV or Z-A.

    Dynamax adding HP allows players to not sacrifice their best card if they lose lead. Tera type allows you to change your type once, and mega evolution is a temporary better stat boost for one pokemon. I like hyper offense with some risk involved to win the game very early.

    I actually believe that, at some point, GF intends to allow mythicals in VGC. Let’s think about it, many mythical Pokémon, ever since ORAS, have been catchable in-game, and many others are catchable in PoGo, which is Free to play. Also, mythicals like Darkrai and Zarude have had their signature moves balanced for Doubles, with Zarude’s Jungle Healing being the prelude for Lunar Blessing, and Darkrai’s infamous Dark Void tragedy (let’s be honest, they didn’t need to make the move suck even for the og user if there wasn’t ever a possibility for it to be part of a metagame). Those factors make me think mythicals are eventually gonna be allowed in VGC at some point in time.

    • @danielbischoff133
      @danielbischoff133 3 месяца назад

      Dark Void is still OP
      It needs to be weakened again.
      Because there are enough ways to improve accuracy. (Gravity/Supersweet Syrup)
      Because 50% accuracy is actually way too good for a double sleep move.
      If you're lucky, all 2 of your opponent's Pokemon will sleep and you'll have an incredible advantage.
      Dark Void is still OP, for doubles.

    • @leonardobarbosatelles2779
      @leonardobarbosatelles2779 3 месяца назад

      For supersweet syrup, you just gotta switch out your leads, and as an ability, it’s locked to some mediocre Pokémon. Gravity is interesting, as Darkrai is plenty fast, but there are some real monsters in the speed department, not to mention Choice Scarfers, and Gravity would have the downside of making moves like Heat Wave and Rock Slide guaranteed hits on both of your pokes. I don’t think Dark Void is still OP. It definetly is high risk, and high/ medium reward, depending on the scenario

    NGL making a metagame out of taking the top 15 most used pokemon and banning them actually sounds pretty cool.
    Incineror, landorus, tornadus, fluttermane, urshifu, ogerpon, dondola and its little friend, rillaboom, iron hands, farigaraf, Kingambit, annihilape and more all banned sounds like the game....could actually be fun to experiment entirely new setups with instead of having to do the "I want to try a pokemon I like so I slap it into a team of 5 of the most popular, dont actually use it the entire time and say the build is off meta"
    TL;DR- imagine a world where everyone had less than 570 effective value of stats, reasonable typing and not insane move pools. Looks beautiful, doesnt it?
    Although yeah I agree with everything you said in the video it needs to be done with more care and actually assessing who is getting banned. IMO Ithink just Fluittermane and Urshifu need to go and that would change the metagame to an acceptable degree. Not having to specifically build because of those two would give so many more options. 15 is too wide of a net to cast and would just be taking out a lot of support pokemon that arent the actual problem. But top 2-3 removed for one of the regulations might be fun. But what do I know?
    A VGC tiering system could be cool, but just Overused and Underused. Would make a lot of people happy to be able to get their favorite toys out and not watch it get killed immediately by a 135 speed, 135 power moonblast.

      considering that it was supposedly meant to be updated to legendary back in gen 6, that's also a little confusing, but maybe that's on me for expecting pokemon games to make some modicum of sense

      @@grayblacklight560 It was available in-game in ORAS and aat least one piece of official Pokémon material, "Official Guide to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon," said that it had been reclassified as a legendary Pokémon. Then come the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon reveals, when it was revealed that legendary Pokémon were available in Ultra Space, complete with a grid of all the legendary Pokémon... Deoxys wasn't there. Then the Legendary Year of Pokémon was announced and I was SCANDALIZED to see that not only absent, but that TYPE NULL and SILVALLY were present!... Yeah, I hadn't figured out they were legendary yet. To be fair, they were just kind of tossed 3/4 of the way into the Pokédex (admittedly with a legendary Pokémon from another region) and were owned by a trainer (I was not familiar with the concept of "ordinary trainers" owning legendary Pokémon and would have just said N, the most prominent counter-example, was an unusual exception if you had told me), and I hadn't bothered looking up what the legendary Pokémon were because otherwise the legendaries and Ultra Beasts were grouped together at the back of the Pokédex, and I knew which ones were and weren't Ultra Beasts because I owned the Sun and Moon strategy guide just for the fun of reading it a year before I got a 3DS and Ultra Sun and it said that "It looks like an Ultra Beast, but Beast Balls aren't very effective on it."
      So yes, Pokémon seemed to entertain the notion of making it legendary for one generation, but if they never recoded it as a legendary, I guess they decided not to commit to it after all. I immediately thought of this too when Deoxys was used as an example, not because MoxieBoosted was wrong (Which wasn't the case), but because of how close we came to it being otherwise.

    Come on man not only are calling dynamax the worst mechanic but also claiming most others think the same too ?, it feels a lot like personal bias. I even remember Wolfey saying he preferred it over Z-moves because it was less chaotic and stress inducing
    The people I see hating on dynamax are usually the kind who is just salty over megas being gone or the kind that hates everything related to SwSh. They can be very loud but their feelings don't come from the quality of the mechanic itself

That damn maidbot can just come in, do whatever the hell it wants, and just win off of its insane typing, stats, and movepool. Among legendaries and mythicals, she alone is the broken one.

    Gimme an honest answer regarding my favorite 100 based baby mythical Pokemon.
    So besides Victini, how would all the other 100 all rounder baby mythicals fare nowadays when they are allowed to play in official formats once there are proper official main series games that allows a player to get them in-game without the outdated mystery gift model?
    Like getting Manaphy by playong the side quest in Legends Arceus. That is way easier than the old Pokemon Ranger games model where limited pokemon ranger hames carry the time limited manaphy egg quest promo.
