At this point, Finch feels like the Batman of competitive Pokemon. He has had so many chances to put a permanent end to the Joker's reign of madness but is too 'honorable' to do anything but let him break out of Stunfisk Asylum over and over again...
The Council should have a once a month policy for challengers and there should be a tournament to decide who gets to challenge a council member, and someone should have to beat 3 different council members in order to be considered for the council. Like a gym leader system or something 😂 It’ll keep everyone on their toes, and forces to keep the council members battle senses sharpened 🤔 Keeps things interesting for the showdown community, right?
The real problem under all this is if that person would dedicate the time to the role. I don’t know how much work goes on behind the scenes, but I would want someone willing to take the role seriously and with the proper amount of dedication
@@DemonFox369 Which in turn should hopefully reflect their knowledge of the Meta, or at least the current one. (which this format could just decide a temporary council member too, similar to a trial member) This could also be a thing for other tiers, too.
@@1020percent Yeah, thats a good point. I wonder if this format could just select a trial member and then further examination would take place when they’re actually recruited as such. That is, if it’s meant to be taken that seriously haha
In their first match, seems like Finch wasn't taking him too seriously, and actually lost a game. This time, it wasn't even close though, total domination. Massive skill diff.
3 things, the kilowattrel was competitive, (for some reason) and the iron valiant was supposed to be fling iron ball, but he ran the wrong set, somebody told him what the right play was 3 times, and he ignored them.
this reminds me of when i was a kid in band class and you were allowed to challenge people for their chair (you were assigned your "chair" based on audition). i was the 1st chair flutist and this one girl kept challenging me and losing and it got to the point where the conductor had to limit how frequently you could challenge someone.
I don't play competitive, I'm just on r/Stunfisk for the Stinkpost Sundays. It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize the OU council was a real thing and not a meme.
I mean, since Mudkip used to be meme central in stunfisk, and (hopefully) did this for fun and more memes, Finch probably wanted to hype it up since well, who would've expected it
I propose this for future council challenges: Tournament among the top 50 in the tier for the chance to challenge for council seat. That ensures that challenging won’t happen too often and not just anyone can challenge
NOOOOO HE HIT THEM WITH THE SCRUB QUOTE AT 22:06! He was supposed to be the voice of the people! The voice of hundreds of players. And then he pulled the age old "Man this game isn't even fair and if it wasn't for some completely unrelated bullshit I should have won since I'm the better player". Dude flew too close to the sun
I swear to god, every time one of these videos gets uploaded, my heart skips a beat because there's a chance Finch ragebans something over getting memed on.
I clicked on this so fast. I am the Rotom in G1! For G3 we kept trying to get him to use a different and actually OK sun team that we'd worked on in the Discord, but eventually he used.. Whatever that was. It was fun though!
How many more chances are they gonna give this guy? I get it, people are in it for the memes and the fun. I might be too serious about it, but generally not a fan of somebody rudely demanding a spot and getting multiple chances to earn it.
I'm not so sure it was mean spirited. Finch was very civil about everything and I think Mudkip is just a memelord. A lot of this is just for the memes, and Finch seems very excited to bring viewers to showdown. Tbh, I recall finch saying in a vid a little bit ago how he was feeling burnt out and this might be his last gen on the council, I wonder if he wanted Mudkip to win so he could be done lmao
this would actually be an amazing start to a rehaul for how they could make the councils more open. Give each gen just an AG format for like 2 weeks on launch, let players figure out some teams, hist an open tournament where x amount of players left make it onto the inaugural council, let them shape the tiers, and have a cycle every 6-12 months based on how long the expected lifespan of the generation is. you could even have community votes to let certain people remain permanent council fixtures if they're considered to be good members to remain. eventually you'll fill the council with the ideal players for each gen, and they can keep shaping those gens when they eventually become past gens to keep the older gens popular with tier shifts and unbans from ubers making the metas consistently fresh
@@pokeaimMD I’ve always thought you are lol since I’ve always looked up to you in Pokémon via competitive scene. Been there since the shofu days of showdown haha. But yea onwards and upwards my dude.
Yeah I got that far. And I intend on watching till the end. Great entertainment while hunting shiny Eevee On another note, I hate this game. Alredy had 4 designated outbreaks I wanted spawn inside terrain or in that fucking olive roll field, so I cant get any spawns. So fucking annoying, especially if you have to reset a year worth of days before the outbreak appears in the first place

I was considering watching this live. But I was busy.
OU council are going to make this kid collect the 8 OU badges before challenging him again
he'll just challenge the gym leaders for their spots first
@@aspicymemelord6291 true. The gym leaders *are* likely to be part of local government.
Who is gym leader

Finch, go to bed
MudkipNerd is more like Condiment King in this sense
The Council should have a once a month policy for challengers and there should be a tournament to decide who gets to challenge a council member, and someone should have to beat 3 different council members in order to be considered for the council. Like a gym leader system or something 😂 It’ll keep everyone on their toes, and forces to keep the council members battle senses sharpened 🤔 Keeps things interesting for the showdown community, right?
I’ll do this today
Beating three good players in a row seems very tough. If they can get on council, each new member will be quite the battler.
The real problem under all this is if that person would dedicate the time to the role. I don’t know how much work goes on behind the scenes, but I would want someone willing to take the role seriously and with the proper amount of dedication

Hey that is an achievement in itself
honestly thatd be really funny
i swear lmao
You spoiled the ending
@@victorycarr honestly expected when he was six o'd the first time
Bro really got 18-0‘d 💀
In their first match, seems like Finch wasn't taking him too seriously, and actually lost a game. This time, it wasn't even close though, total domination. Massive skill diff.
MudkipNerd will undergo the greatest time skip training arc of all time
Not time skip training, just skip training
In a few months time, they'll be MarshtompNerd and eventually SwampertNerd
Smh he shouldve used Tera Bug Roaring Moon
i was looking at my screen dumbfounded as chat exploded
Exactly! I'm sad that he stopped the buggin' 😢
In g1 I could’ve spammed clear smog into boots Pao fwiw, so I wasn’t risking loss even if he foddered Flamigo so I couldn’t sleep it
With this said, awesome narration. Thanks for covering these. It’s been SO fun!!!
The goat himself!
Thank you finch for the content, you're truly the second funniest tier leader in smogon
Finch is just dropkicking a toddler at this point
My favorite part is when Finchinator said, "Its Finchin time" and Finched all over the place
😂
Is that slang for ragebanning something he loses to?
@@calvinanderson4245 homie really put his real face on his pfp 💀
@@redreboot483 God, I WISH I could do a troll face in real life. It's a stupid meme, but it'd make one hell of a party trick.
3 things, the kilowattrel was competitive, (for some reason) and the iron valiant was supposed to be fling iron ball, but he ran the wrong set, somebody told him what the right play was 3 times, and he ignored them.
Wait, so he was being coached and still played this poorly?
@@casteanpreswyn7528 Yes, but most of the time there were 2 or 3 equally popular ideas of what to do.
They are probably going to make him get the 8 UU badges then beat the OU 4 to try again
this reminds me of when i was a kid in band class and you were allowed to challenge people for their chair (you were assigned your "chair" based on audition). i was the 1st chair flutist and this one girl kept challenging me and losing and it got to the point where the conductor had to limit how frequently you could challenge someone.
"This one time, at band camp..."
I can't hate the tenacity though.
As my coach would say/yell
YOU GOTTA WANT DAT SH!T!
i saw people in the OU room talking about this and was so confused. had no idea the rematch was officially sanctioned
Didn't think we'd ever get a real life Gym Leader challenge, but here we are....
Said this once and will say it again,
"You are challenged by TIED LEADER FINCHINATOR!"
sounds real nice.
WolfeGlick did something similar in New York for Christmas
mudkipnerd got read like a children's picture book TWICE in BOTH MATCHES holy s
He’s on a training arc now, one day in the future he’s gonna rule the council
It'd be the best possible ending if he did it in a team with pyukumuku
He's gonna Challenge and loose to finch over and over eventually making a bond with him, just like thorfinn karlsefni
Ursalua also learns Headlong Rush so it's not just Great Tusk and Hariyama that learn them. Ursaluna just isn't available in Scarlet/Violet yet.
"Unfortunate" doesn't even begin to describe my series
He'll come back in 1 year, full training arc undergone, and then we'll see
I don't play competitive, I'm just on r/Stunfisk for the Stinkpost Sundays. It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize the OU council was a real thing and not a meme.
I didnt even know you could do this
I mean, since Mudkip used to be meme central in stunfisk, and (hopefully) did this for fun and more memes, Finch probably wanted to hype it up since well, who would've expected it
If they won they def would have gotten the reward tho. Finch wouldnt back down on that
ill give mudkipnerd this he knows how to entertain lmao
Mudkipnerd was trying a lot of cool techs while Finch played more standard sets. But Finch pretty much outplayed mudkip the whole time either way lol.
"I DIDNT HEAR NO BELL"~MudkipNerd probably
13:25 that ice punch dusknoir shit is a meme on the subreddit
I feel like this is the greatest ‘know when you are beat’ moment 😂
I propose this for future council challenges: Tournament among the top 50 in the tier for the chance to challenge for council seat. That ensures that challenging won’t happen too often and not just anyone can challenge

at this point he's memeing it and i respect that so hard
I was playing on showdown yesterday and learned heal order still has 16 pp
GF didn't change it still base 10pp
It was removed in Gen 8 so it never got the PP change.
Probably due to low distribution.
GameFreak putting the challenge out there for someone to make Vespiquen stall
@@cr4878 I mean, with terastalize it's def better than it was before🤷♂
New event idea: the OU Council is the Elite Four and people try to beat all of them in a row.
Love to see a Finch colab with the second team. Wonder what he's thinking about recent events and meta game developments
41:00 he really hit me with the quick attack 😐
Yes, I knew Hariyama can learn Headlong Rush... [Yes, I got that far 🙃]
Hello Pokevin
W person
I call it Gargle nuts myself
LOL
Agent Freezai is coming to take out Finch. The agency does not lose, and if Freezai loses, it’s cause Finch is also an Agent lol
@@BLUEBOYISLEDGE I knew agent finch would win, what a great sparring match between two agents 😎
Mudkipnerd is on his path of becoming an immortal meme
What an experience this has been so far, so funny
I'm playing MkN today a 1pm for for his retest in the stunfisk meta after he was banned for his losses.
Freezai vs Finch would be nuts
39:17 it's about sending the message
Joey is actually MudkipNerd
At this rate MudkipNerd will become council in 20 years.
HYDROGEN BOMB vs COUGHING BABY
He would've 1 trillion - 0'd Finch if GameFreak hadn't removed Pyukumuku from the game smh
The video length went from giving me hope to making me miserable when they agreed to a bo5
I swear to god, every time one of these videos gets uploaded, my heart skips a beat because there's a chance Finch ragebans something over getting memed on.
Bruh I thought I was seeing things, this dude is ready for the run back
Neutral quick attack does exactly the same damage as resisted Tera steel bullet punch, there was no point in Finch QAing
Bro 22:11 said AGENCY CRIT” LMAO 😂😂
shoutout to that one guy putting the Dusknoir reddit meme in the chat
We need an Elite Four that tier challengers have to beat in order to play a council member for the position
I just realized those were Flamigo's feet in the thumbnail. Jesus, lol
Sometimes in life you just have to learn to take that L.
This is just a one-sided pummelling at this point.
Covert Cloak stops salt cure drain btw.
Ursaluna also learns Headlong Rush
After the first game looks like we need real competitors!👀
bro theres no way theres a part 2 xD i loved watching the first one!
sheesh the dragapult was actually thunder.
Pretty sure Ursaluna gets headlong rush as well but I’m not sure if it’s only available in ranbats
No cap would be cool to see how you'd pilot that team Finch used in game 2 because that team seems crazy good
Blessed with another meme before the year ends
“Agency Crit”
MudkipNerd made a chess joke, surely he mist win this time!!
I clicked on this so fast. I am the Rotom in G1! For G3 we kept trying to get him to use a different and actually OK sun team that we'd worked on in the Discord, but eventually he used.. Whatever that was. It was fun though!

I love seeing someone use gargle nuts
Is mudkip rlly bad, or is finch insanely good? Can someone explain the power difference realistically xD
Finch is just really good Mudkip isn’t bad
So the thing about our champion mudskipper, he didn’t have Pykumuku this gen so his power got halved
@@RinSolos_ nah hes bad, hes 1500 on ladder
Yes
mudkip is average, although he uses meme strats way too often, finch is probably a top 10 player
This is... Day 100 asking for the biggest meme I have with one of my bros: Choice Band Reuniclus. I made it boys. I accomplished something
Dusknoir Ice Punch and Totkoal Quick Claw are memes on r/stunfisk
Mudkip chose the wrong team on g3 lmao
Day 27 of asking you to use all three Volcarona forms on one team to promote moth supremacy :).
And day 11 of asking for it to be a Blimax collab :).
Add Frosmoth too for extra mothpremacy
That councils team looks absolute cancer
In the end, that kid was all bark and absolutely no bite...
Lighten up, it's for fun and everyone that took part was having a good time
Hey joey do you think you might record of vid you playin vgc? would love to see it, and early vgc is always fun because no BS legends lol
