This was one of the best Pokemon videos i’ve ever watched in my life. Every aspect of competitive pokemon i could have ever wanted was beautifully crafted in this video. 10/10 Wolfe, excited to see you win worlds next year ❤
The way you shout out your friends was almost enough to make me cry. What a quality group of human beings you all are. It exemplifies my favorite part about video games - bringing friends together.
Damn, i had no idea about results and thought this was a diary of you winning it all. Loved the video for how honest it all was, we aren't always winners in real life, but doing your best and doing what you love matters the most.
Dude - this video felt so jam packed with high quality content and was an insanely well put together story. Well done, really enjoyed watching you compete over the last year 👊
Bro I remember watching you when you had like 5k subs and now you have the checkmark next to your name. Congrats. You earned it. I also didn't know you had an interest in VGC (unless I misunderstood you). Anyways, keep forgetting your masterballs I guess.
The time it took He prepared for Worlds and video in the making is really impressive. The fact that he didn't give up after a bad performance shows we should not give up on the things we love for years such as Competitive Battling or Shiny Hunting.
Sat through the entire video just to understand how wolfie thinks during preps and games, but ended up learning about how humble and grounded one should be before being able to compete on such a stage. Thanks, Wolfie, you're indeed the best. You might not win the championships all the time, but you won our hearts.
That closing line "And, despite it all, I'm getting back up and trying again. Next year and the year after that, again and again and again until I can't play anymore because... I love this game" genuinely brought tears to my eyes. You're already a massive part of this franchise's history, Wolfe.
Really has that feeling of Yanagihara from March Comes In. An older shoji player who’s one of the absolute best, and he doesn’t want to stop playing. Because in his words, “I am still burning” he’ll stop playing shogi until he can’t or he’s dead.
If anything is the “world champ difference”, it’s that. You saw it in his ladder stuff & nuzlockes too. Tenacity is the strongest skill you can have as a competitive player.
This is for me basically a summary of what the last 3 years were for this channel, seeing you journey throughout the whole generation leading up to this, you may have lost early at worlds but I think you earned something better, no matter what you go through, no one can take what you have achieved with this channel Wolfe, I can't wait to see you take on scarlet and violet
Having known that Wolfe didn't make it to day 2 at World's before this video even released, it was admittedly a little heartbreaking seeing all the prep he put in to know what the outcome would end up being, but honestly, as he stated in the video, a lot of the time the journey is what's important. A super fun and informative video nonetheless about what goes on behind the scenes for tournaments, especially for casual viewers like me. Safe to say I definitely do NOT have what it takes to get into competitive myself but it's so admirable to see the work and effort competitive players put in. Loved the video, really looking forward to seeing how things go in the Scarlet/Violet season!
I have so much respect for the resiliency and effort here. Personally, I’d have a very hard time making a video about a journey that lead to a disappointing performance, but it’s important to not hide from the struggles that even the best of us go through. Great video and storytelling, Wolfey!
Scarlet and Violet will be the first game that I am attempting to participate in VGC during, as a direct result of your content. This video is not only one of the most educational for someone who wants to compete, but also one of the most inspiring. Thanks to you and everyone who made this video possible, both by helping you prepare and working on the video itself.
I first properly started in sword and shield - one of the best things and unfortunately cliche i can give you both is try not to get nervous and have fun. Remember its a game first and foremost and try not to get too caught up in the moment. If you can, try and think a turn or two ahead too - if they do this, then this then that how do i counter it etc etc. Pikalytics is also great for analysis of most used pokemon, most common moves. Items, ev spreads etc etc, common partners for those pokemon etc etc
This video is so insane. Your commitment and dedication to the game is absolutely astounding. Absolutely nothing but pure respect and admiration to you, Wolfey.
when you did the part when you were talking of your friends and how much you are grateful for them i shed a tear, beautiful & an amazing trait for a human to have and express is gratitude. it goes a long way
Despite doing poorly this year, its honestly amazing how well you spun your story! You made it more about the journey rather than the destination, and it really gives more insight as to what its like to be a VGC player. As well, the animation, script writing, and overall story was one of the best ones you've made!! Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to what's to come in 2023! (Also the Ace Attorney music was such a joy)
i can’t believe your channel went from ms paint intros to this, you’ve come so far content creation wise, and it’s been so cool seeing it in real time (although i still love the old video style too). i can’t wait to see what you have in store for scarlet & violet!
Your passion in this video genuinely moved me to tears. The world is always falling apart and just seeing pure joy is a breathe of rarely found fresh air.
This was such a moving video Wolfey, you've really come so far both as a player and as a storyteller. The community is so lucky to have people like you, and I really look forward to seeing you go even further. Im cheering for you in 2023!
Hey wolfe, I just want to thank you for everything these past few years. Your collabs with alpharad right at the start of SWSH is what introduced me to VGC, and this newfound love for competitive pokemon helped me get through the pandemic, gave me hours of fun, and has helped me meet a ton of awesome people I never would have met otherwise. Gen 8 will always have a special place in my heart, and you're the main reason as to why. Here's to a new generation, and to many more years of fun playing pokemon
Wolfey is like a living Ash Ketchum! His passion for playing pokemon is so amazing! He's one of the reasons why I go into competitive pokemon. Looking forward to having a battle with him!
Wolfey is actually very skilled at writing scripts. It felt like watching someone who has written scripts for videos for years, like Alpharad, but it also feels like a Wolfey video
this wideo is *incredible.* i never realized how much time and work went into competitive pokémon. over a decade after picking up the games, this wideo still brought me a new kind of appreciation for pokémon. the team building sections of this wideo were really interesting, and some other parts were extremely hype. this wideo was definitely worth the wait. thank you, wolfey
Awesome video Wolfey, thanks for sharing your story! P.S. You should plug the Super Thanks feature. I like using it more than memberships, and it's been working well for another Poke-tuber WeedleTwineedle.
Weeks of labbing, meticulous analysis, explaining every step along the way and coming up with a detailed and well-thought-out gameplan, and losing to something you've relentlessly called unviable; this was a very ESAM-like series of events. (With all respect to both of you)
@@NotTheWheel Didn't actually compete, went as a spectator since I live in the UK 😅 Had such a good time though, that if it ever comes to Europe again in future, I'll be there 😎
This video has shown me a lot of what I need to do if I want to fulfill my dream of being invited to the World Championships. Seeing Wolfey's lows as well as his highs is a good way of seeing all the work that goes into being a top Pokemon player. We can't win every match or every tournament, but we can keep going and never stop trying.
Brilliant video, commiserations for the Worlds performance but I know you'll be back stronger! Regardless of how you do you're such a great ambassador for VGC and it was lovely to bump into you at worlds. The world champ difference will always be there
The amount of effort this man puts in is amazing.. whilst im over here thinking that revising for tests that decide my whole life is hard this man is revising 2700000 flash cards lol
Geeze, this was an absolut heart wrenching story. All that time and effort, all that work, practice and preperation... undone within a day. Kudos to picking yourself up and going to the Open Wolfey... and good luck in 2023!
This video was incredibly well made! As a fan of yours who was also able to attend Worlds this year. I remember seeing your tweet notification that you'd been eliminated and I felt so bad for you. Sadly, I never managed to find and meet you in person but if I had done I would of congratulated you for all the hard work you put in up to that point, so I will take this opportunity to do that now. Well done Wolfey! Your time and effort to not just the e-sport of Pokémon, but also this community as a whole, does not go unnoticed. Wishing you the best of luck in 2023!
Well worth all the time and effort. This video documenting your journey was truly amazing and nothing short of inspiring and had me literally near tears at the end. Also beautiful use of all the Great Ace Attorney OST throughout. Can't wait to see you in Yokohama.
Not only is the editing God-tier, but the music selection is the chef's kiss. The community is lucky to have such a dedicated lad like you who strives to improve. Sure you were eliminated at the World Championship, but that's competition for ya. Like you said, what's important is that you learned something. Because we learn from our mistakes to be better people. It's not about the competition, it's about the friends we make along the way. 14:15 lived near Secaucus for a few years, and I love the fact you chose drone footage of West New York (yes, there's a town called West New York in NJ) by the Hudson River because it looks nicer instead of Secaucus which is more inland...because all Secaucus is, is just industrial land and a marsh. Also, 15:22 I know Santino is from Pittsburgh...but entering a regional in NJ with one of the most Italian names ever sounds like a Sopranos episode if the regional doesn't go his way.
Wolfey, i have loved your content since you won worlds 2016. And i have enjoyed every second of it! keep up the work man! And the way your channel is going now with the improved editing and allround better quality. You are the one that made me fall in love with pokemon again! Thank you Wolfey
It's insane that over the video, the tone shifts from funny and light hearted to extremely serious and sad. Good job wolfey, and everyone who helped you along the way. I hope to see you in Scarlet and Violet
Not going to lie, I teared up at the end of the video. You worked so hard Wolfey, and I’ll still be supporting you, 3 years after I first subscribed!! We all believe in you
I remember when Blue dropped in '98 - I played it all the way home from my grandmas house, Gameboys didn't have light up screens back then so on the dark highway drive home I had to wait until every passing light on the road to see what I was doing, but couldn't put it down anyway. I feel that same passion for the game when I hear you talk about it, great video.
What an incredible video, I never comment on any videos but seeing how much time, effort, blood sweat and tears went into this is something else. I hope this video gets the recognition it deserves
how could i not watch this from start to finish? what a solid production. cheers to you and your team on making such a entertaining and comprehensive piece of content. well done.
Wow what a fantastic video. Such a heartbreaking end, but the journey was very inspiring nonetheless. This was very inspiring to watch. I think the key lesson in all of this, is no matter how much you prepare, things never go to plan, and it is how well you stay focused in the moment that everything goes tits up, that is important. We can't succeed without failing first, I mean look at our past missile tests. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. If you try to achieve something great, even a failure feels like a success. At least you had the courage to try. That's more than most can say.
This was breathtaking and a reminder as to why I enjoy competitive Pokémon so much, despite getting to my 35s. You are so inspiring, I hope hard work finally pays off for you next season!
It's hard to put into words the depth of my emotions. Whether its the The Great Ace Attorney music or the pure love that was put into the wideo thats bringing me to tears- it's amazing to see all the hardwork Wolfey brings to his Pokemon Competitive spirit! Thanks Wolfey! Thank you Wolfey's amazing friends and pokemon, and see you guys in 2023!
Can't find a way to put this into words, but man, you truly are amazing, all I can feel right now is respect and inspiration. You really are amazing Wolfey!!
This video is amazing. It’s so difficult for even viewers remotely familiar with VGC battling to understand how much work goes into it. My already high respect for you has risen exponentially seeing this. I’m excited to see a VGC tournament live for the first time at next year’s Worlds in Yokohama and cannot wait to see you there. Keep up the fantastic work, on and offline.
Wow. That's a fantastic video, mate. First time I really understood just how much time is invested into video games by the people whose job it is to play them. Kudos to you, and especially to your team. Really glad to have learned more about them :)
This was a cinematic experience and a half… couldn’t take my eyes off this video the entire time. My heart goes out to you that you couldn’t achieve what you had hoped to at this year’s Worlds, but if anyone could bounce back next year it’s you 100%. And you’ve been providing the best ever content you’ve done on this channel at the same time? Props to you Wolfe, thank you for being an absolute joy to watch
This video really reflects the hard work you and your team (editing AND team building) gave in. Competetive Pokémon never fails to amaze me, thank you Wolf.
This was absolutely nutty to watch. I always knew you were a meticulous and dedicated player, but the level of prep you showed for this is mind numbing. Honestly can't wait to see you in the Scarlet and Violet meta going forward. Keep up all your hard work
I’ve been following your channel for a while. This is my favorite video so far and (re)ignited my will to play competitive again after 5 years. Thank you for taking the time documenting your process, all the learnings of this year will pay in your favor soon 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Greetings from Mexico.
2016 happened to be the first year I watched the worlds livestream and I remember not only your performance but something about the way you acted during your matches leaving an impression on me. that definitely shows up here, and it's part of why I like your content so much!
Wow I gained so much respect for competitive players after this, I knew it took a lot of time, but I had no idea how much work was put into this. Amazing job man keep up the great work ❤
Please do this type of video for the worlds every year if you enter. Seeing the detail and the work that goes into these tournaments and the thought processes behind all of the team comps is really fun and interesting to watch. I don’t play competitive and probably never will but this is really cool to see this side of the Pokémon community.
Content has been SO good lately. Been an on and off viewer for a couple years but it's clear the quality of your videos now are the best they've ever been.
I love your story telling wolf. Your writing is fun and endearing, and your script editors do an awesome job. Thank you for being you and allowing us to glimpse into your awesome mind.
I know we have only hung out few times, but your love for pokemon is truly inspirational, makes me serious want to consider getting back into the circuit. Pokemon is so much more than people realize and I feel like you successfully put into words what its like to have a super competitive spirit which I can relate to a ton. Amazing video, looking forward to seeing how you do in the 2023 season!
I am not even interested in competitive pokemon, but this video teared me down. Storytelling is a top-notch and your commitment was so heartwarming. Lots of loves ❤️
I almost cried at the end of the video, its an amazing work, and yokohama its going to see the best wolfey, thx for doing the hard work for us to be able to watch this ❤️
I only got interested in competitive pokemon recently, and having wideos as amazing as this to understand how it works helps a lot! Thank you so much Wolfey, can't wait for the next worlds!
Dude when you said "that's exactly what I wanted them to do!" I was like yooooo let's gooo!!🤯🤯 I'm not experienced enough to catch on I guess lol 😂 Great video love it!
Wolfey this was an amazing video. I really hope it performs well, because you managed to thoroughly entertain me the entire video. I can feel the passion of everyone who worked with you on this.
This is the best video you have ever made, Wolfe. This literally has EVERYTHING it needs and no fluff. Fantastic! Edit: Man that ending hurts, and I have been there so often (and not just in Pokémon).
This is such an incredibly cool and meaningful video. There is clearly so much heart put into both your play and the quality of the video, and as someone who just joined the scene in gen 8, it was so cool to see such an in depth explanation of how everything goes down. Truly one of, if not THE, best Wolfey videos of all time
Usually I like to have your videos in the background as I work on assignments, but this one truly captivated me and drew me in. I really enjoy you content and have honestly wanted to start trying competitive pokemon because of you. Keep up the great work, it's definitely paying off!!
This video is the one I spent the most time on in the channels entire history. It means a lot to me, so I really hope you enjoy it.
i love the animation at the beggining
The animation is pretty cool! Can already see why you say this
Your content is always good, and this video is really good. You should be proud of it.
Amazing video!!! You’re a hero
U r the best pokemon youtuber i cant beleive it took me so long to find u lol
This was one of the best Pokemon videos i’ve ever watched in my life. Every aspect of competitive pokemon i could have ever wanted was beautifully crafted in this video. 10/10 Wolfe, excited to see you win worlds next year ❤
Hi plurplecliffe
Wow this comment literally put what I had in mind into words

You are a beast 👍
For his dedication, his spirit, his humour, his humility and his impeccable example to the community, Wolfey will always be my world champion.
I like this, and I agree completely.
And that’s just the world champ difference
His humour is a far stretch but agree everything else
He is basically the cynthia of our reality 🥰
@@G3drummer 😅 oh j
It was humbling to see how much preparation it takes to get to the top level. Thank you.

Dude - this video felt so jam packed with high quality content and was an insanely well put together story. Well done, really enjoyed watching you compete over the last year 👊
One of the best videos on his channel 👏
OMG NOKIMON I LOVE YOUR VIDS ESSPECIALLY WHEN YOU CATCH SHINIES!!!
Bro I remember watching you when you had like 5k subs and now you have the checkmark next to your name. Congrats. You earned it.
I also didn't know you had an interest in VGC (unless I misunderstood you). Anyways, keep forgetting your masterballs I guess.

@@pixelpiekser Hey, he can still play. That means we'll see him next year. Cheers 🥂
I'm from VA, you're a legend here even before you won worlds in 2016. We love you Wolfe, thanks for the laughs, the entertainment, and the inspiration

Also, 15:22 I know Santino is from Pittsburgh...but entering a regional in NJ with one of the most Italian names ever sounds like a Sopranos episode if the regional doesn't go his way.
Wolfey, i have loved your content since you won worlds 2016. And i have enjoyed every second of it! keep up the work man! And the way your channel is going now with the improved editing and allround better quality. You are the one that made me fall in love with pokemon again! Thank you Wolfey
It's insane that over the video, the tone shifts from funny and light hearted to extremely serious and sad. Good job wolfey, and everyone who helped you along the way. I hope to see you in Scarlet and Violet
Not going to lie, I teared up at the end of the video. You worked so hard Wolfey, and I’ll still be supporting you, 3 years after I first subscribed!! We all believe in you
I remember when Blue dropped in '98 - I played it all the way home from my grandmas house, Gameboys didn't have light up screens back then so on the dark highway drive home I had to wait until every passing light on the road to see what I was doing, but couldn't put it down anyway. I feel that same passion for the game when I hear you talk about it, great video.
What an incredible video, I never comment on any videos but seeing how much time, effort, blood sweat and tears went into this is something else. I hope this video gets the recognition it deserves
how could i not watch this from start to finish? what a solid production. cheers to you and your team on making such a entertaining and comprehensive piece of content. well done.
I’ve been so excited for this video!!! I couldn’t find much about your team so I was so excited you were making a video!
Wow what a fantastic video. Such a heartbreaking end, but the journey was very inspiring nonetheless. This was very inspiring to watch. I think the key lesson in all of this, is no matter how much you prepare, things never go to plan, and it is how well you stay focused in the moment that everything goes tits up, that is important. We can't succeed without failing first, I mean look at our past missile tests. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. If you try to achieve something great, even a failure feels like a success. At least you had the courage to try. That's more than most can say.
Lunch missile on USA no balls u won't do it
This was breathtaking and a reminder as to why I enjoy competitive Pokémon so much, despite getting to my 35s. You are so inspiring, I hope hard work finally pays off for you next season!
It's hard to put into words the depth of my emotions. Whether its the The Great Ace Attorney music or the pure love that was put into the wideo thats bringing me to tears- it's amazing to see all the hardwork Wolfey brings to his Pokemon Competitive spirit!
Thanks Wolfey! Thank you Wolfey's amazing friends and pokemon, and see you guys in 2023!
Good lord
the great ace attorney ost hit me pretty hard...it evokes alot of memories for me
You and your friends’ passion for vgc never ceases to amaze me. We’ll always be rooting for you wolfey
Really appreciate you shedding some more light on the background work that goes into teambuilding, not enough awareness of this in the wider community
It's so cool how your competitors are also the ones helping you succeed. What a great community!
I know this has been said before but your editor deserves an Oscar. Absolute master at the editing and meming craft.
You’re an inspiration, Wolfe ❤️ Commenting for the YT algorithm. Thank you for providing so much amazing content for us Pokemon fans!!
did not expect to see u here
Can't find a way to put this into words, but man, you truly are amazing, all I can feel right now is respect and inspiration. You really are amazing Wolfey!!
This video is amazing. It’s so difficult for even viewers remotely familiar with VGC battling to understand how much work goes into it. My already high respect for you has risen exponentially seeing this. I’m excited to see a VGC tournament live for the first time at next year’s Worlds in Yokohama and cannot wait to see you there. Keep up the fantastic work, on and offline.
Wow. That's a fantastic video, mate. First time I really understood just how much time is invested into video games by the people whose job it is to play them. Kudos to you, and especially to your team. Really glad to have learned more about them :)
This was a cinematic experience and a half… couldn’t take my eyes off this video the entire time. My heart goes out to you that you couldn’t achieve what you had hoped to at this year’s Worlds, but if anyone could bounce back next year it’s you 100%. And you’ve been providing the best ever content you’ve done on this channel at the same time? Props to you Wolfe, thank you for being an absolute joy to watch
Great videos as always! I was shocked that around the beginning he gave a philosophy report on life I was pure shocked. Keep up the good work!
The section on your team literally brought tears to my eyes ❤ you are very fortunate to have such amazing friends
Just got into watching Colosseum content so hearing the battle theme was great. Another incredible video Wolfey, a great job to you and the editors!
The production value of this video is insane, great job Wolfe!
That dedication and hard work you put into this tournament is amazing !
This video really reflects the hard work you and your team (editing AND team building) gave in. Competetive Pokémon never fails to amaze me, thank you Wolf.
This was absolutely nutty to watch. I always knew you were a meticulous and dedicated player, but the level of prep you showed for this is mind numbing. Honestly can't wait to see you in the Scarlet and Violet meta going forward. Keep up all your hard work
I’ve been following your channel for a while. This is my favorite video so far and (re)ignited my will to play competitive again after 5 years. Thank you for taking the time documenting your process, all the learnings of this year will pay in your favor soon 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Greetings from Mexico.
2016 happened to be the first year I watched the worlds livestream and I remember not only your performance but something about the way you acted during your matches leaving an impression on me. that definitely shows up here, and it's part of why I like your content so much!
Thank you wolfey for all of the work you put in into youtube. It means a lot to us.
Your content has grown so much due to all your hard work invested. 1M here we come!
Wow I gained so much respect for competitive players after this, I knew it took a lot of time, but I had no idea how much work was put into this. Amazing job man keep up the great work ❤
Please do this type of video for the worlds every year if you enter. Seeing the detail and the work that goes into these tournaments and the thought processes behind all of the team comps is really fun and interesting to watch. I don’t play competitive and probably never will but this is really cool to see this side of the Pokémon community.
this was a wonderful video, wolfe! the part where you talked about your journey and your friends was really heartwarming
Absolute banger of an ending. Do the best you can, Wolfey. There's a champion inside you, after all.
Content has been SO good lately. Been an on and off viewer for a couple years but it's clear the quality of your videos now are the best they've ever been.
Love the content, and education! Thank you!
I love your story telling wolf. Your writing is fun and endearing, and your script editors do an awesome job. Thank you for being you and allowing us to glimpse into your awesome mind.
I know we have only hung out few times, but your love for pokemon is truly inspirational, makes me serious want to consider getting back into the circuit. Pokemon is so much more than people realize and I feel like you successfully put into words what its like to have a super competitive spirit which I can relate to a ton. Amazing video, looking forward to seeing how you do in the 2023 season!
Love the channel and the content! To be as entertaining as you are while being able to back it up with your play is really special
I am not even interested in competitive pokemon, but this video teared me down. Storytelling is a top-notch and your commitment was so heartwarming. Lots of loves ❤️
This is by far your best video. I love your content and can't wait to see you perform in the scarlet and violett Era.
I almost cried at the end of the video, its an amazing work, and yokohama its going to see the best wolfey, thx for doing the hard work for us to be able to watch this ❤️
I only got interested in competitive pokemon recently, and having wideos as amazing as this to understand how it works helps a lot! Thank you so much Wolfey, can't wait for the next worlds!
Incredible wideo, I'm glad to hear that you're back with a vengeance! Looking forward to whatever awaits in 2023
I knew it was coming but still found myself teary eyed when u spoke about your worlds performance. Chin up champ, we all have our off days
Such dedication, I did not know it takes so much time and effort to prepare for finals! Amazing video Wolfey 🥹
This video was a journey. We’re rooting for you Wolf
Dude when you said "that's exactly what I wanted them to do!" I was like yooooo let's gooo!!🤯🤯 I'm not experienced enough to catch on I guess lol 😂 Great video love it!
Wolfey this was an amazing video. I really hope it performs well, because you managed to thoroughly entertain me the entire video. I can feel the passion of everyone who worked with you on this.
Actually insanely entertaining video. Crazy to see how far your contents as evolved. Keep up the insane work
It was a great tournament even if you didn't advance!
This is the best video you have ever made, Wolfe. This literally has EVERYTHING it needs and no fluff. Fantastic!
Edit: Man that ending hurts, and I have been there so often (and not just in Pokémon).
This is such an incredibly cool and meaningful video. There is clearly so much heart put into both your play and the quality of the video, and as someone who just joined the scene in gen 8, it was so cool to see such an in depth explanation of how everything goes down. Truly one of, if not THE, best Wolfey videos of all time
I usually don’t comment on videos but you can easily feel and see the effort put into this video. It was excellent
Usually I like to have your videos in the background as I work on assignments, but this one truly captivated me and drew me in. I really enjoy you content and have honestly wanted to start trying competitive pokemon because of you. Keep up the great work, it's definitely paying off!!
great video man we all appreciate the effort you put into your content
