Really enjoyed the podcast and can't wait for more! I love being able to get insight from veterans of the scene, and it was cool to hear more from Luca, who came across just super genuine and humble! Hyped for episode two!
I hope we see more collaborations in the future. Is always fun to see different VGC pro players and youtubers interact in content. I feel it connects the community further and makes it grow. I like to come back to the years where you made the Multi Battle League because it made me know more players/communities that i could follow, all of them with different takes on VGC. From just a Cybertron fan, i ended up being a Markus, Wolfey, Baz and Jamie fan for example.
Feeling extremely blessed to be in what I believe is the golden age of VGC thanks to all the high quality content you and Wolfe and other leaders in the space are providing for everyone. Thank you so much for this!
Sign me the heck up! Love both of you guys. Excited not only for Aaron but also to see more out of Markus, who has traditionally been a little quieter on traditional channels!
I’m so excited for this!! As someone who wants to start competing this year, this is such an excellent resource to have! I’ve been following the vgc scene for years now, since X and Y, so it’ll be nice to hear you both talk about those days and discuss something you genuinely both love!
Thank you. Please keep this running, I was hungry for post worlds commentary with in depth analysis. It felt weird that after this worlds there was none. I haven't listened yet but can't wait!
Hats off to you guys for impacting the community for as long as you have. I have been watching your content since near inception and amazed with the consistency and progression. Again just thank you for the content and the memories. Always kinda crazy how important this channel and your content has been to me and you don’t know many of us at all. But we have been here supporting and cheering the whole way. Excited to see what comes next
One thing I’d love to see from a podcast if you aren’t covering the meta/tournaments is player spotlights because hearing about Lucas life outside of VGC/ his story about how he started playing was very interesting and it would be cool to see that from the top players, especially regions you don’t often hear about
Both of you are players and personalities I really look up to so I am very happy to see you starting a podcast. I would be most interested in you discussing the current happenings in and around vgc. Everything from new formats, developing metagames, tournament results, and upcoming events would be very interesting. I also think some dedicated episodes (potentially with guests) covering some part of the history of vgc would be very cool. Though I would keep those for the time there is not much to discuss in current vgc.
Really loved hearing about the stress involved with being on stream and how Luca was able to deal with that. I’d enjoy hearing more about dealing with anxiety and also navigating work/school-life balance and competitive play.
I’m so excited for this! I’m really looking forward to two of the greats talking about VGC, and hope there’s some more great interviews, particularly with the up and coming players. Just for some ideas, I’d love to hear interviews with Justin Tang and Shiliang Tang.
Really appreciated hearing Aaron opening up about his relationship to competition and why he stepped away. I will say as someone who enjoys all your content, I just hope you're doing what's best for you and putting your happiness first, however that may look! There's no way it's easy being one of the best players, commentators, and overall stewards of VGC all at once.
Really cool to have been considered 'God tier' by the current World Champion, even if it was 7 years ago. Seems like I've joined the washed up crew now though.
Hey Aaron! I remember being a pretty big Ray Rizzo fan back in the day too haha. If memory serves, I believe the now defunct "Nintendo Power" magazines even talked about his wins at Worlds…
Definitely listening to more of these as they come! Random topics that come to mind that I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on: - How do you feel about SV changing to open teamsheets for in-person events? - and do you think/want that to be the default going forward? - Do you feel like there's any particular aspect of how VGC currently operates, which could make VGC even significantly more enjoyable/popular if Pokémon/TPCi/whoever put more resources into changing/improving that aspect?
44:25 I met your friends in a hotel after Worlds. Great guys and I can confirm, after the 2 minutes mark, they commented on their friend being the world champion xD Fun guys from Italy, greetings to everyone I met haha
As someone who has enjoyed watching a lot of VGC and decided to start playing with reg H, this was perfect timing for me. Stoked to be able to listen to the best in the biz!
When I saw the announcement, I immediately subscribed. I have a potential talking point for a future episode, should it be something to be considered: What pokemon do you think would rival incineroar in usage should it receive a new (widely used) ability?
As a fellow italian and regular Aaron Cybertron VGC video watcher featuring Markus Stadter (who aside from being an historic player and commentator was also the MVP in the PTC 3 league hosted by Francesco Pardini) this is all around incredible
“…soccer, er, football. it’s football.” um, actually, it’s BOTH Football used to be a general umbrella term for any sport played with the foot and a ball back in the 1800s. in the 1860s, the Football Association was formed and they wanted to separate their game from the other football games. They called their sport association football, and people shortened it to assoc, then to assoccer, then to just soccer. other football games at the time changed their names also, like Rugby football shortened to just Rugby. Soccer was used interchangeably with football for about a hundred years until the 1980s or so, then that’s when this great divide seemed to start between the two terms.
HYPED!!!!!!
Between Markus and Aaron, He decided to choose both, Classic WCD
HE'S HERE!
This like that eggexutor layout podcast with wolf and yoshi2798
Really enjoyed the podcast and can't wait for more! I love being able to get insight from veterans of the scene, and it was cool to hear more from Luca, who came across just super genuine and humble! Hyped for episode two!
Markus and Aaron doing a podcast?! Giving live commentary as they go?! Perfect.
Very excited for you both! Good luck with the journey friends. Looking forward to all the great content in the weeks to come

Super excited to see what you do next. In particular I'd love to hear about how you got into VGC and what VGC was like in 2008-2013!
Markus is a legend who has not gotten enough recognition imo. Love hearing from you both!
Great podcast!! It was so awesome to hear such grat players talking about vgc. I'd love that you keep inviting players from around the world!

I am so happy I found this, this is amazing! I am obsessed with VGC discussions these days and I am looking forward to future episodes!!
Only suggestion would be when discussing a specific team, e.g. Luca’s maybe posting the team on screen for the RUclips audience

The more i hear about the beginning of VGC, the wilder it seems. Very excited to hear your insights and opinions on the meta game going forward.
Really nice interview and chat, thanks guys ⭐

two of my favorite players yapping about mons, i think i will love this

Still radical in my book. Your matches are my favorite to watch on stream! One of my favorites ever was Serperior at Stockholm!
Why are you washed now? Just not as good at the current meta?
Super hyped! Good content from people that know what they talk about and talk about something that I find interesting

Luca's story is very inspiring
Am I really the first one to comment on the greatest Pokemon podcast ever?
Congratulations guys. Excited for what’s ahead!

This came out two days ago and i'm just now seeing this?! Niiicceeeee!!!
Love to watch Markus Back on youtube is a great player and can share a lot of knowledge about the game.
This is all I ever wanted finally
This sounds so fun!😁
Thanks for the new content you both. Massive respects
Super hyped for this new project!

Never subscribed to something so fast
Oh I’m ready for this!!
"Statistics Student" and VGC seems like a match made in heaven.
Im excited to watch this!
Road to Ranked x Mark Us on Top 😍 Great first episode, I'm excited for more!
That is a bold choice for the camera layout, not even filling out the screen? I still enjoyed the video very much.
Loved every second of this.
Finally ! The vgc podcast we've all been waiting for
When I saw the announcement, I immediately subscribed. I have a potential talking point for a future episode, should it be something to be considered: What pokemon do you think would rival incineroar in usage should it receive a new (widely used) ability?
I’m so excitedddddd for this❤🎉
I am so excited for more of these
This is awesome. Hope it goes on gor years to come :]
This looks to be right on brand for my regular listening :)
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED!
Hope to see some big LATAM players as Paul Ruiz, Gabriel Agati or Javier Valdes to show a little bit how is it to be a vgc player from Latin America.
RAAAAH MORE POKEMON CONTENT LETS GOO
immediately subbed ❤
Viel Erfolg!
Nice. something listen to while taking my train rides

Aaron, Markus & Luca in un solo video? 🤩
As a fellow italian and regular Aaron Cybertron VGC video watcher featuring Markus Stadter (who aside from being an historic player and commentator was also the MVP in the PTC 3 league hosted by Francesco Pardini) this is all around incredible
Yessir !!! Love this
Well that's a podcast with a good curriculum
“…soccer, er, football. it’s football.”
um, actually, it’s BOTH
Football used to be a general umbrella term for any sport played with the foot and a ball back in the 1800s. in the 1860s, the Football Association was formed and they wanted to separate their game from the other football games.
They called their sport association football, and people shortened it to assoc, then to assoccer, then to just soccer. other football games at the time changed their names also, like Rugby football shortened to just Rugby.

Hyped 🔥❤️
