How can you blame these players for using the same pokemon when you should be blaming pokemon company for making the rest pokemon complete and utter trash. Thanks.
Jacob Riggs Mega Kangaskhan's 2nd hit does a lot less damage than it does in gen 6 It was seen in the video where it hit a school-form wishiwashi in one of the more recent videos.
SETHAWESOMEST Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mega Kangaskhans 2nd hit already pretty soft, around 50% less I think ? If they nerf it anymore they may as well just change it's ability altogether IMO. They should however, take away criticals an secondary efffects for Mega K. That would be alot more effective to even the field out I think.....an also take away Power-Up Punch from her :P lol
Those pokemon are the best by far and for them to use something else is asking to loose in this tournament. If we should blame someone that would be the game creators for making the rest of pokemon trash or to have made this 8 pokemon super OP.

Laffle Fwanffle As a player who imported most of his competitive Pokemon from Y to OmegaRuby... at least the egg count is believable, but the rest reeks of PKHex
Yeah each move (except status effect etc) are either physical or special. Physical moves deal damage based on the attack stat and face the opponent's defense, while special ones use special attack and face opponent's special defense.
I randomly skipped to a random point in this video, and I correctly predicted what pokemon they were using even before I watched it. 721+ pokemon, use only ten of them.
Smogon is just as toxic and cancerous as VGCs. I quit Smogon because if there was something that could beat their top teams, they banned it. Mawile, banned. Aegislash, banned. Greninja, banned. Then let back due to complaints. Smogon does not know what they're talking about. The only thing that they got right is that they're the 'Unofficial' Pokemon Tiers. I don't play by Smogon rules ever.
and? Why are we supposed to care? Play the game the way you want, but no one will take your seriously in competitive unless you play by VGC/Smogon rules. Play the game like the children play it, that's up to you.
THEY JUST WANT TO WIN THE POKEMON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS BUT EVERYONE WANTS STUPID CREATIVITY AND THAT ID IN THESE TOURNAMENTS BUT IT JUST DIDNT MAKE IT INTO THE FINALS THE BEST POKEMON DID SO STOP COMPLANING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as you can see i'm triggered
Could someone please explain to me why some trainers use a Smeargle? I don't see the point, they could choose a stronger pokemon with the same attacks.
buenfield Sheer variety, as well as moves that would normally be exclusive to pokemon that aren't allowed to compete. For example, Say you aren't allowed to use a darkrai, a smeargle will still allow you to use darkrai's main move. And dialga's, and deoxy's, etc. think of it like a Swiss Army knife.
Is anyone else REALLY annoyed that one of the announcers keeps saying "Kyogres", "Smeargles", "Kangaskhans", etc? Like... if you're going to commentate on a Pokemon match, learn how to use the terminology correctly. He didn't just do it by accident once or twice, he did it consistently.
Zranzax that's only in Smogon in the Metagame there are no tiers. You can have 2 restricted pokemon (which are box art legandaries) and 4 of the best pokemon you can find
remember one of the elite 4's word weak pokemon or strong pokemon if you use your favourite Pokemon it's more entertaining and it could be stronger so i hope people stop using obvious strategy and use their unique favorite team
too everyone complaining, can't everyone just enjoy the games in there own ways? I mean I have loads of fun in little cup, some people have loads of fun in smogon, who cares if there teams arnt diverse, there enjoying the game, which is what it was made for... everyone to have there own adventure! in there own way!
i agree, but the ruleset allowing for the primal legendaries probably kept player's teams from having as many options. plus, teams being built around handling said legendaries were probably common too.
Diversity? In Pokemon? Pfft. That's rich. Pokemon is finally banning Megas, but I have a feeling it's just going to be an all-out weather brawl still. Once a hardcore team is built, everyone who wants to win will sacrifice having fun just to have that feeling they did something meaningful, when in reality, it's a game that less and less people are giving a crap about. It's harder and harder to find people who play the games that isn't playing Pokemon Go. >w>
Nick Dawson What are the odds of getting the right Hidden Power in a Legendary? That still needs to be good competitively? Primals are probably hacked too (not american, sorry for any erros)
Love these people crying about the lack of diversity in the teams, as if no game has ever had a centralized meta before. The meta is centered around the rules Nintendo has chosen, and unfortunately these guys want to win more than wanting the RUclips audience to be entertained. That's why wifi has no rules, so grab your friends and use whatever. Or play by smogon rules, which has multiple tiers so you can use your favorite garbage mons.
+Swampert999 Shut up already, you're literally everywhere raging at people who want more variety thus making the games more surprising and entertaining. Of course they want to win the matches but let's face it, it would be much cooler to see other pokemons than Kangaskhan and the primal duo.
Kaitlyn BowmanCarroll ah I see, well, in VGC 2016, they allow 2 mascot legendaries in your team. But you can have as many normal legendaries as you want I think.
but when they see a move hit they are like "so we're going to see the attack connect with the opponent". idk I know it's the way a lot of mlg announcers talk and stuff but it's quite frustrating lol
I love watching people who hack their pokes play bad rule sets. I was curious and now I know to never bother watching this stuff. I don't care about the online ladders/games letting you build whatever and pick IV's Ev's etc but I will always have a problem with that in the real game.
It's always so nice to see the competitors being such good sports in both the senior and junior branches :)
How bad is the water bro?
Asian friend: It is Yuki Wata
LOL
Jinx Billionz show yourself out please.
Jinx Billionz I don't get it..
FYCY - Yuki Wata - Yucky water
TigerIshan02 they don't even sound the same.
How can you blame these players for using the same pokemon when you should be blaming pokemon company for making the rest pokemon complete and utter trash. Thanks.
OtakuSnake Megas were a good idea but giving THAT TO A LEGENDARY bruh bad idea and allowing it to be in Vgc
WOW who would have expected these types of teams in VGC this is totally unique and original!
looking forward to seeing you there next year with your own original team :)
Bawbeh hope you're being sarcastic on that. Literally meta.deck teams
Katrina Ordonez - Rekt.
Actually, I expect a lot of Team diversity next year, since Sun and Moon will have just come out.
Sarvis The Buck Yeah.
kangaskhan and fake out is the bane of my existence
Glad it's nerfed in Sun and Moon ;)
+SETHAWESOMEST How is it nerfed?
Jacob Riggs Mega Kangaskhan's 2nd hit does a lot less damage than it does in gen 6 It was seen in the video where it hit a school-form wishiwashi in one of the more recent videos.
+SETHAWESOMEST OK thanks!

At the end, everyone was chanting "HP WATER!" it was awesome
@ worlds
It's sad that they only use the same 7 or 8 pokemons on VGC. Wanted to see more variety..
Catarina de Oliveira yeah,its always khanga, Groudon ,kyogre,bronzong,rayquayza , Smeargle,salemance and talonflame
Indeed, sometimes you see some Xerneas or Cresselia, but yes, it's pretty much those you said.
the people are playing to win. only a few are viable. originality can only get you so far
Those pokemon are the best by far and for them to use something else is asking to loose in this tournament. If we should blame someone that would be the game creators for making the rest of pokemon trash or to have made this 8 pokemon super OP.
OtakuSnake I understand all of that. I just wanted to see something different :)

probably own more cardridges of the same game?
Maybe they have to move their pokemon to a different game to try and keep some of the fakes out. But I have no idea if this is true :/
One word: Frustration
Whats the difference between attack and special attack? Attack is physical damage and special is ''magic'' like thunder/watergun?
Yeah each move (except status effect etc) are either physical or special. Physical moves deal damage based on the attack stat and face the opponent's defense, while special ones use special attack and face opponent's special defense.
Did the Cubs win?
Nate - Yeah.
where's .y early squad
I randomly skipped to a random point in this video, and I correctly predicted what pokemon they were using even before I watched it. 721+ pokemon, use only ten of them.
That's Pokemon in a nutshell.
Smogon is just as toxic and cancerous as VGCs. I quit Smogon because if there was something that could beat their top teams, they banned it. Mawile, banned. Aegislash, banned. Greninja, banned. Then let back due to complaints.

TheVenomWithin so apparently i am not a competitive player EVEN THOUGH I know how to breed calc stats since i hate the VGC/Smogon rules?
why there are two dudes beside them ?
14:33 Si a la paz!
Korbiit Estamos en todos lados XD
Could someone please explain to me why some trainers use a Smeargle? I don't see the point, they could choose a stronger pokemon with the same attacks.
Smeargle learns all attacks and has Moody
buenfield Sheer variety, as well as moves that would normally be exclusive to pokemon that aren't allowed to compete.

Gael Acosta Thanks!!
Cordyceps Helm Thank you!!!
Hi, Jwanie!! I just checked it out!!! Thanks for letting me know!! ;)
Wow, those teams are soooooooooo original.
loved that last match
Is anyone else REALLY annoyed that one of the announcers keeps saying "Kyogres", "Smeargles", "Kangaskhans", etc? Like... if you're going to commentate on a Pokemon match, learn how to use the terminology correctly. He didn't just do it by accident once or twice, he did it consistently.
Owen Konsmo What's the problem?
+Gallade Quest It's sheep - sheep instead of sheep - sheeps, right? Same goes for Pokémon.
Ghost Fart and?
Gallade Quest Sooo the announcer is wrong.
Owen Konsmo Cool
Both of these teams are quite standard
Anne yup that's how vgc is. And people complain about smogon diversity lol
The more unbalanced a game is, the less variety.
Probably why they are making VGC 2017 only playable with Pokémon obtainable from the Alola region.
So I haven't played competitive since gen 5, is ou/uu/ru no longer relevant?
Zranzax that's only for smogon, official vg Pokémon rules are much more basic.
Zranzax that's only in Smogon in the Metagame there are no tiers. You can have 2 restricted pokemon (which are box art legandaries) and 4 of the best pokemon you can find
Bay Laugh What does VG mean?
Th3N3wB33 !
VG stands for video game, as in the main series pokemon games, as apposed to the TCG or trading card game.
I literally have 500+ wins with a UU and NU team....I'm pretty sure they could make something better than OU, U, and GT
I've been out of touch with the VGC for a while, but... I thought Legendaries were banned?
Carson better look out, Yuno's not gonna be happy about this...
Jesse Redberry boi...
remember one of the elite 4's word
weak pokemon or strong pokemon if you use your favourite Pokemon it's more entertaining and it could be stronger so i hope people stop using obvious strategy and use their unique favorite team
Seigi Tendo no people play for money and to win so they arent going to use their favorite Pokémon.
Seigi Tendo Nice. Quoting someone without even bothering finding out their name.
Who cares about that stupid quote
Swampert999 lol someone is salty
USA! USA! (that was pretty weak how the kangaskhan got that crit at the end, but) USA!
R. Downgrade doubt it actually mattered in the long run, carson destroyed him in the 3rd game.
I might agree, but I'd have to know if his opponent had sucker punch or not, you dig?
too everyone complaining, can't everyone just enjoy the games in there own ways? I mean I have loads of fun in little cup, some people have loads of fun in smogon, who cares if there teams arnt diverse, there enjoying the game, which is what it was made for... everyone to have there own adventure! in there own way!
Switching into kyogre instead of groudon on round 2 might have won Carson the match
I like watching these VGC matches but bro all the teams are the same!! how about some diversity
Anderson I feel the same way, I play using my fav Pokémon, they play using Pokémon that were made to win. It gets boring fast.
i agree, but the ruleset allowing for the primal legendaries probably kept player's teams from having as many options. plus, teams being built around handling said legendaries were probably common too.
Diversity? In Pokemon? Pfft. That's rich. Pokemon is finally banning Megas, but I have a feeling it's just going to be an all-out weather brawl still.

It's harder and harder to find people who play the games that isn't playing Pokemon Go. >w>
You shouldn’t be blaming the trainers when you should blame the Pokémon Company for making other Pokémon just complete utter trash
well, at least these pokemon don't look Hacked.
TepigFan 101 Hidden Power Water Thundurus
Gallade Quest what about an hp water thundurus?
Nick Dawson Totally hacked
Gallade Quest why do u say that?
Nick Dawson What are the odds of getting the right Hidden Power in a Legendary? That still needs to be good competitively? Primals are probably hacked too (not american, sorry for any erros)
Hey look at that! Verlis isn't here. It's almost like he is bad or something.

Anthony lol ikr have they heard of smogon
Oh great, a battle where you have legends fighting legends. Great...
Yeah, it's so sad that people want to win the pokemon WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
+Swampert999 Shut up already, you're literally everywhere raging at people who want more variety thus making the games more surprising and entertaining. Of course they want to win the matches but let's face it, it would be much cooler to see other pokemons than Kangaskhan and the primal duo.
I though legendaries were banned for the championships? 0_0
Kaitlyn BowmanCarroll you must be new to vgc
D1MWITTED Gamer not exactly...it's just been a long time. 😅 it's certainly nice to know though.
Kaitlyn BowmanCarroll ah I see, well, in VGC 2016, they allow 2 mascot legendaries in your team. But you can have as many normal legendaries as you want I think.
D1MWITTED Gamer
nice! Definitely valuable information, thank you
Loved watching it but the guy yelling "YAAAA!!" after every move was so annoying
that forehead tho
I had to stop. why do they talk about everything in future tense? it's happening now.
Because they are talking about potential moves before the turn starts, and then as the turn is happening they talk about it in present tense.
but when they see a move hit they are like "so we're going to see the attack connect with the opponent". idk I know it's the way a lot of mlg announcers talk and stuff but it's quite frustrating lol
I love watching people who hack their pokes play bad rule sets. I was curious and now I know to never bother watching this stuff. I don't care about the online ladders/games letting you build whatever and pick IV's Ev's etc but I will always have a problem with that in the real game.
Jesus these comments though.
