I wouldn't have expected 'first gym die guy' to be entering such a difficult tournament. Jokes aside, your Pokémon skill is amazing from what I've seen
Catching Phase: RT: Calmly and cleanly catches several very powerful Pokémon. Failboat: Plays Xenoblade music on a loop while screaming and repeatedly running at a Gardevoir for 10 minutes.
Big Bertha, the giant JPEG Bear is the real MVP of this entire tournament that because of this, it's going to go up within the tier lists! *Bertha, my love*
I love how Daithi is almost the comedic relief in the middle. Suddenly the competition is way less tense and just a casual game with a friend joking around!
The funny thing is that RT is literally a Pokemon Champion NPC you meet in main story. >Meets randomly, sometimes goofy sometimes serious. >Wants to help the player if possible. >Has Togepi Egg >Knowledge incarnate for Pokemon. Congrats RT! Can't wait to see you be the champion of Scarlet and Violet and terrify everyone.
I knew something like this would happen from the moment he beat Smallant in the last tournament. Smallant wins basically everything he tries, RT couldn't even win an argument with chat about whether or not his controller was charging. Truly then, RT is the Pokémon king
Fact is, RT is an actually incredibly skilled pokemon player. If he spends a little bit more time in the game, he could be a professional. That's not gonna happen, but yeah, just saying
He's bizzarely skilled at most games, he's just so damn charming that people don't notice it behind his overwhelmingly good personality, it's like a physical wall of Charm.
@@meee_5155 yeah he's not as bad as i expected but aside from pokemon challenges, no one here was any good lol. also pokemonchallenges clearly isn't very good with doubles considering he had no protect lol
I just wanna say that RT's game sense on any game is quite astonishing, it's amazing to watch this man play and then u add on all the hilarious memes and gags. A league of his own.
This was one of the most exciting streams ever, from the catching the Pokemon to the battle team forming where everyone couldn't make a decision about what kind of moves Dan should be using (to be fairly obnoxious). Up until the end it was a heart rushing experience and such a fun time for everyone
I love seeing RT playing with other TH-camrs in these Pokemon tournaments that normally he wouldn't cross paths with. And I also really like how smart he is when it comes to team building in Pokemon, while also being insanely entertaining. That's hard to balance while streaming!! Thanks for all the amazing content RT
Major spoilers, so watch yourself but... Can we talk about how fucking awesome it is for RT to go from being reviewed and complimented by Pokemon Challenges for the HG Nuzlocke, to them then meeting face to face in this championship, culminating with RT actually taking the crown? It feels like something out of an anime.
As a huge fan of both RT and Ray, 13:45 felt like my two worlds were colliding. It felt so surreal as well, because both streamers have really different streaming styles, so I've never imagined them being in the same stream. It almost felt like watching the cartoon character interacting with the live-action movie character.
@@maregondrako Funny thing is, when I first stumbled across RTGame I thought it was a new Achievement Hunter channel or something. Was real confused when it was the same guy in every video though.
I’m half Irish and rt and nogla’s conversation and how their accents became more “stereotypical”? I guess, just gave me vivid happy memories of spending time with my granny and her brothers and sisters when we visited them in Ireland before the whole pandemic business.
I love how RT says “you’re coming with me.” Just picking kids off the street, “you’re coming with me, no no no, no need to ask your parents, let’s go.”
5:38 wholesome moment from RT here, a bit more sweaty streamers would be pissed at this suggestion with 2 min left but RT is nice about it, just a bit shocked lol
honestly, the finale was a great matchup. pchal and daniel have recognized eachother's skill before and i loved their reaction interactions. great to see them finally match up in a battle on the exact kind of thing they initially connected with.
I love that RT doesn't spoil the ending in the title, I was able to be rooting for him the whole time having nO idea what would happen, absolutely thrilling content!! :D
i don't often watch competitive anything, being not competitive at all myself. but this was really fun to watch, and i think most of it is dan's play-by-play commentary, explaining what everything is and reacting to it so i could get excited or worried alongside anyone else. i actually cheered at several points throughout this, which i definitely would not have if it weren't for dan making sure i understood. gg, all hail the pokemon king
All glory to Big Bertha the Jpeg Bear. 17:55 Moxie storm draining his own team is the funniest moment during this tournament. How far RT has come, from dying at the first gym to winning a pokemon tournament. Dreams really do come true.
Yo, VGC player here. I honestly didn't see very many, if any, flaws in your plays. You were only a little surprised by how many Pokémon get Trick Room lol. Ever thought about actually giving irl tournaments a go? You could do rather well, I reckon.
Dan, I've been loving all the Pokemon content lately, as well as your Elden Ring playthrough. Basically I'm really enjoying what you're putting out, please keep up the great work!
Spoiler to those who weren’t there live: Well done Dan. That was genuinely an incredible performance. If you do decide to pursue more competitive content, glhf!
Watched the tournament from Wolfe's end and that last battle was so incredible to watch considering Jan went into the finals undefeated, but what a wild finish!
That fire/water/grass core and the call to put protect on so many pokemon was actually huge genuinely, I love coming back to this video. Also the synergy he had with the levitate rotom heat, gyarados, earthquake mons, ground type mons, and discharge was actually CRAZY for pivoting and safely doing widespread attacks. Not to mention roserade who tanked some discharges
Really enjoyed seeing people come up with different strategies despite the constraints of the tournament. Spoilers below Jaiden bringing out a Trick Room + Rain Dance boosted Double Gastrodon, Ray using Chatot for Tailwind support and gambling on the Togekiss' serene grace to get more out of Ancient Power. And Dan bringing Big Bertha to really show how fearsome some of the new pokemon are. Fun stuff
This tournament could have been an anime with the different arcs, storylines, and rt giving main character energy with pokemon challenged being set up to win it is perfect
I think the reason why I keep coming to watch this video so often that it's one of my favorite videos from RT is because this is genuinely a cinematic masterpiece. It's an underdog story, and it uses the Hero's Journey quite well. From the Start of the journey, to the Call to Action, Conflict and Climaxes; they're all there. And just Dan is such a great storyteller even if he doesn't know, and anyone with a love of Pokemon will surely love how every battle is played. Everyone played so well, and I'd really love to see more tournament plays with Dan whenever Wolfeys plans another for Scarlet/Violet.
TH-cam kept repeatedly recommending this to me at times when I simply didn't have 40 minutes to watch it. And now that I finally saw it on a night I had the free time, I regret not making the time sooner! You not only won almost every game, but maintained a consistent lead throughout the games you won, which was truly incredible to watch.
This is the kind of content I just...I can't get enough of it. All my favourite creators doing something together is just fantastic! Oh, AND CONGRATS ON THE WIN!!!
I was literally watching the VOD last night hoping you'd make it a video. So many of my favourite content creators coming together was so wholesome to see
@@HazeEmry Ray used to be a part of company called Rooster Teeth (RT) as part of one of their gaming channels called Achievement Hunter/Let's Play. pretty famous back at 2014-2016ish, i was a fan of AH and was pleasantly surprised to see my fav AH member competing with dan!
As someone who played all the games since Yellow but was always pretty casual and didn't really do tournaments, this kind of stuff is *fascinating*. It almost makes me want to learn all the proper stats lol. Was a lot of fun to watch though. Congrats!
I think it's wild that RT's only L was against Ray and his super lucky 20% chance Ancient Power Omni-buff, If that hadn't gone off there's a legit chance he could have clean-swept the entire tournament
choice specs boomburst chatot is actually a real sleeper hit! of everything that isn't outright immune, there's only a handful of things that aren't one-shot. in the right hands, the surprise can totally disrupt your foe's strategy!

The devolving into Irish Chaos the moment two Irishmen get into the same call is always a favorite thing of mine lmao "Ah howsagoin ahsurshaboyagoinagood"
Seeing Dan with Dan was so surreal I've been wanting them to do a collab thing for so long. The Mouth Fools with the Irish Lads'' versus game or something would be amazing and I hope to see it happen one day. Like they all play mario kart or Smash bros.

The devolving into Irish Chaos the moment two Irishmen get into the same call is always a favorite thing of mine lmao "Ah howsagoin ahsurshaboyagoinagood"
I am actually so proud that dan won the tournament!!! He got to show off his skills and add another title to his collection, the pokemon king!
Rt, first match: did you put protect on some of your Pokémon? That’s half the battle.
Jan, last match: none of my Pokémon had protect
YO IS THAT AN AURORA PFP??? love that comic
Seeing Dan with Dan was so surreal I've been wanting them to do a collab thing for so long. The Mouth Fools with the Irish Lads'' versus game or something would be amazing and I hope to see it happen one day. Like they all play mario kart or Smash bros.
This was so much fun to watch! And massive props to Big Bertha for carrying so much of the battles. Jpeg. Bear was such a good play!
I watched that stream with minimal knowledge of Pokemon and it still kept me very entertained. Highlights were super fun to come back to as well
Wait… did PokemonChallenges rename every Pokémon to a Deez Nuts joke?
