I love how because they kept joking about the run being over, that when it actually was over the timer kept on going until they were like, “No that’s ACTUALLY time”
The guy who shouted 'Jigglypuff from above' during the electric gym is absolutely peak comedy. Also, another high quality run from GDQ. This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on RUclips. All of these videos are such high quality, and I love all of the explanations given for all of the various things done in the run. Thank you for running this channel!
So much joy in this run. Multiple mains, gen 8 chant, HOP coming through at the last second, André not wanting to be pet because he's dead, Mr. Wolverine being the bad guy ( _what?!_ ), also yes, pineapple on pizza is nice and pulse's laughter had me in stitches (if Keiz-Shen-wartab banter wasn't enough). also 2:46:31 is an underrated moment
I’m going through some pretty rough stuff in my life and gdq is keeping me afloat. Thanks for maintaining the archives, my most precarious mental health appreciates it.
"This is about the only time you're gonna see 'League Champion' and 'Hop' in the same vicinity." Ouch... Hop's going to need a full restore after that burn.
Really great and nice speedrunner, congrats!!! that frenchman's amazing!! props to you wartab :))) also, super smooth and cool speedrun, very enjoyable.
Wait, did people not like this run? I thought it was fun and entertaining. I love runs where the couch/runner can joke and interact with the crowd instead of just explaining tricks with a monotone voice
@@kaylikallis5164 no, they moreso don't like the games because of some issues. The desaturation of some pokemon ruining their design, the animations not being good, the quality limitations of the 3ds, the shit story, etc.
I've been shiny hunting Reshiram in Ultra Sun the whole stream - a challenge that I started early 2019 and continued on and off throughout the year - but still no luck!
This inspired me to try! My first run for about an hour and a half through before deciding to try again. Made it to the second gym! Wish me luck for next time!
23:41 You know, I used to love Charmander...until Nintendo decided to show that they clearly love Charmander (Charizard) FAR more than anyone else by oversaturating the crap out of him and his formes.
@@maxspecs His Charmander will always be his charmander but it slowly feels less and less special the more it's gets special treatment. It's like saying a word over and over again
You'd think this would be quicker with how easy X/Y was, but as it was said at the end of White 2, "We unlocked Easy mode! Which makes no sense, because it's a harder speedrun!"
a few months late but damn is this amusing, props to the commentators and crowd for the fun run! x&y is the first game ive ever “spedrun” myself so to see a proper version of it will def motivate me to optimize time better + learn new strats. thanks! ps. pineapple SUCKS
For anyone else's edification who is just following along not to set a record but just to finish the game fast, I died twice with my Hawlucha, and didn't do the double massage, but still got the lucky egg. (I battled 5 more trainers by accident though.)
Wait... the red haired millionaire who says creepy shit about beauty and power is actually leading the group of red haired millionaire teenagers talking about beauty and power!!! OH MY GODDD
In the beginning, when he named his character runners choice. Wasn't that suppose to mean he chooses the name of the character?, not the actual name of the character?

I love how the crowd does the Gen VIII Gym chant during the gym battles.
Except for the 4th gym :(
Like, wrong game, but still thanks!
When?

Remember when AZ's Floette was datamined and has unique stuff which will never be used. I'm so sad that event never released

you know speedrunning's gone to your head when you think "wow, four hours for a pokemon game? that's very long."
casuals who dont know speedrunning exists would also think the same lol
Wartab, keizaron and eddaket in the same run is just amazing. This X/Y run and eddakets Lets Go Run are the most entertaining runs ive ever seen.
"Big boy tall boy giant boy boy boy" and "Big man biggie big large man man" both made my day.
Sometimes, Keizaron’s sarcasm comes off so strong that I think “Does he like _anything_ about Pokémon?”
So much joy in this run.

wartab is really charismatic and fun to watch and pairs really well with keizaron! What an entertaining run ^^

Even if it was pretty easy I still enjoyed my playthrough of X
One of my favs
Connor Devero one of my favorite games, next to BW, and Sword
@@dawnbreaker2912 ummm no,x and y are really easy,even compared to gen 5 or 7
X is a great game.
Wayyyyy better than the galar region
@@adresadini Unpopular opinion kanto waz easier at least the original games
Crowd: I love you wartab!
Wartab: *And I love you, random citizen!*
Shoutouts to the announcer, she did a wonderful job here!
Thank you!
the crowd was amazing in this run
This is honestly making me a little nostalgic for gen 6. I spent so, so much time breeding in Pokémon X in college.
35:10 "fun fact: Ouaf is actually how you woof in French"
Keiz saying "I'm here". You know when you don't need an introduction you've reached a new level of... something...
Popularity.
Infamy
"Leave it to hop to pop up at the worst time" Brilliant comedy timing
"This is about the only time you're gonna see 'League Champion' and 'Hop' in the same vicinity." Ouch... Hop's going to need a full restore after that burn.
And a max revive.
the "What?"'s always got me LMAO
What I learned from this run is that putting Keiz on the couch immediately makes a speedrun 100% more entertaining
i like how everyone just casually has a 3ds in their pockets at 59:42
You never know when you need to d-d-d-duel
to be honest, this was exactly what life was back when XY was launched, at least among my friends (even the ones who were not much into Nintendo)
"Don't worry, he's in Torrent". Best part of the run. Jokes aside, great run, great runner, great couch, thanks to everyone behind the scenes too!
that just killed me when that guy on the couch called lysandre 'wolverine'
Really great and nice speedrunner, congrats!!! that frenchman's amazing!! props to you wartab :)))
also, super smooth and cool speedrun, very enjoyable.
Idc what people say i love pokemon x and y and sun and moon and this run was amazing
It was fun but very easy. One of the first pkmn games i picked up and I rolled thru the entire game with the fire starter.
I adore the Gen 6 games, I wasn't a big fan of Gen 7 but they were still enjoyable.

Y was the last Pokemon game Ive ever played. Really disliked it and made me quite lose fun for the mainline games.
Awesome that the announcer is like a part of the couch :D Great run
Pokemon Y is my favorite game in the series so I'm so happy I found this.
I loved when the crowd chanted at 17:45.
HOP being in all caps has the same energy as DIO
I 100% agree to this.
Super ingenuitive to use the fossil for flinging off an unburden hawlucha! For those who don’t know, fling has 100 base power when a Fossil is flung!
The runner is funny and I love his laugh
I love that one guy in the background.
“NO!”
“Are tomatoes a fruit?”
“OH MY GOD”
Great run, Wartab.
This is a run I actually feel I could do, or at least it's less intimidating.
God damn it, I thought my nightmares of the gen VIII gym leader battle crowd screaming were gone, but now I think they are gonna come back
Gym 5 was pizza badge, gym 6 was Pizza cutter Badge
Great run.
I've been shiny hunting Reshiram in Ultra Sun the whole stream - a challenge that I started early 2019 and continued on and off throughout the year - but still no luck!
Ever get?
"Now we're fighting the X-men"
wartab; "stooop" xD xD xD
I loved X and Y. I just wish it was harder!
Gen 8 crowd chanting
17:40
1:05:30
very Nice run, i'm sad that i couldn't see it live
2:08:43 "SpikeVegeta!" that was fantastic
This inspired me to try! My first run for about an hour and a half through before deciding to try again. Made it to the second gym! Wish me luck for next time!
ik I'm three months late, but good luck with it, have you done any runs since?
Catching that Hawlucha was nuts
It's been 3000 years since an underestimate Pokemon run.
23:41 You know, I used to love Charmander...until Nintendo decided to show that they clearly love Charmander (Charizard) FAR more than anyone else by oversaturating the crap out of him and his formes.
Don't dislike a species for being popular. Your charmander will always be yours, always be the best.
@@maxspecs His Charmander will always be his charmander but it slowly feels less and less special the more it's gets special treatment. It's like saying a word over and over again
“That’s not rude! That’s physics!”
I’m using that at some point
44:39 GUESS THAT POKÉMON!
2:25:49 "This comment based on a true story." Loved that reference to the Fatal Frame run!
Pinapple for Keizaron at 3:29:49 !
You'd think this would be quicker with how easy X/Y was, but as it was said at the end of White 2, "We unlocked Easy mode! Which makes no sense, because it's a harder speedrun!"
I was wondering why this looked so bad. Then I remembered that 3ds only does 360p.
Coach introduction...
Keizaron : "Hey yea iam here"
didnt expect anything else of Kezo
this is my favorite speedrun ever. so funny.
Hawlucha not waking up for pets was absolutely priceless. xD
Favorite Pokémon game of all time don’t @me. Actually liked it more than Sun and Moon
Keizaron is my second favorite thing about every GDQ Pokemon speedrun, but please don't tell him that.
I guess you got a huge Return from being Hawlucha’s friend?
They got the lucky egg allowing them to get 150% of the regular exp which I assume was useful.
Nice pun
Epic run
"random space in the background" Oh Kez, you've only lived in the city, I guess, lol. that's just hte night skyy.
i LOVE pokemon x it was my first game and i have over 400 hours on it and i loved all the time ive spent
For the number of times I've played this game, you'd think I remember more of it.
it comes with the territory, it doesn't have alot of life in it. pretty world, I like the style myself, but not engaging so easily forgotten
Genuently, this is the best couch!
About pizzatoping, i actually put shrimps, mussels and a lot of cheese on my pizza somtimes. It's my favorite
Fennekin's line is great you guys are just mean haha.
I loved this run though
best gdq run ever
how can he handle a whole 4hr run ??? dedication
I didn't really like x/y but I still put 350 hours into it. This run was great, haven't seen it in awhile.
a few months late but damn is this amusing, props to the commentators and crowd for the fun run! x&y is the first game ive ever “spedrun” myself so to see a proper version of it will def motivate me to optimize time better + learn new strats. thanks!
ps. pineapple SUCKS
Alternate route:
Wartab: *enters gym
Everyone: **gets up and does the smug dancing meme in unison**
Hey, (insert rival name) did you see someone from (insert evil organization) go past here? There's nothing back there.
*disappears*
My hands hurt just watching this guy mashing the buttons.
The crowd could have saved themselves after that Team Rocket donation by shouting “Wobuffett!” Let down nobody did it.
He got that 12.5% female Chespin, I'm calling it now, all his good RNG was used there.
I will not stand for this Pineapple hatred. Pineapple is great, I don't agree with it on pizza, but Pineapple is goooooood
I can't tell if I prefer keiz running or on the couch more
he brings chaos wherever he is
this was fun :)
This is just a cozy time
The announcer was amazziinnggg
i love that guy heckling in the back, he’s hilarious
For anyone else's edification who is just following along not to set a record but just to finish the game fast, I died twice with my Hawlucha, and didn't do the double massage, but still got the lucky egg. (I battled 5 more trainers by accident though.)
The real pineapple was the friends we made along the way!
Who's watching this in 2021?
Wait... the red haired millionaire who says creepy shit about beauty and power is actually leading the group of red haired millionaire teenagers talking about beauty and power!!!
OH MY GODDD
THE PLOOOTTWIIIIIIIIST
2:25:26 thats my favorite part
got to catch a few
its you and me
you know its the thing to do
ill catch one and you catch two pokemon
got to catch a few
pokemon
14:45 Who the heck was that lol 😆
Pickles are fantastic on pizza
That sounds... alright actually edit: and pickles on hamburger is amazing
Opinion approved.
*slaps stamp on paper*
Lmao 7:33 "youre not wrong"
In the beginning, when he named his character runners choice. Wasn't that suppose to mean he chooses the name of the character?, not the actual name of the character?
love how Craig casually donated 2k lol
This is by far the most entertaining speedrun I've ever watched.
Also, #NoPineapple
Whoever owns the system likes Blue Colored Pokémon Games
(X, αSapphire, Moon, Ultra Moon)
2:46:21 Should be preserved
Nice
GEN 8 AHHHHHHHHHHHH
The pineapple was the greatest part of this run. Change my mind. (It’s a joke. The run was great but the pineapple bit got me good.)
