Hey all! I know it's been a while; three weeks in fact. The past few weeks were an absolute disaster as I battled a health issue that made it impossible to get work done. I'm starting to feel better now and will be easing back into the regular content schedule. I'd like to thank you all for sticking with me and really hope you're excited as we close out the final few matches of the Kanto Tournament! There's lots in store for the future and I appreciate your support a lot. I'll be discussing what happened on Twitter soon, so make sure you're following if you're interested: twitter.com/SilphSpectre
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry you were dealing with that ): I'm glad you're feeling better. I've missed these videos but I'm happy you put your health and wellbeing first. Welcome back, dude! :D
Hey you got us worried! I'm very happy that you're better now. Stay safe and healthy man! Always put your health and safety first! We will always be with you. :)
That match was epic! I cannot thank you enough for the shout-out and I’m SO glad you’re back! You were missed! And thank you all of you who are supporting me! It’s a wonderful feeling knowing you’re enjoying what I do! =)
@@congtruonghuynh8955 either way if it's lum he should've gone for sleep. If it's Lum and he sleeps then the confusion will stick. If it's not then it's put to sleep and that's probably game over for it
Before watching, I of course want to see the hero defeat the villain ... but Giovanni's team has easily the most raw power of any in the tournament. Red will have to play his cards just right in order to take this. Venusaur just might be his best bet of taking down Mewtwo, so sun could very well be Red's key to victory, here. Fingers crossed! Edit: So close! One more self-hit in confusion would have turned the tide at the end. It truly came down to a coin-toss ... though I think Red's big mistake was using Growth instead of Sleep Powder, as the latter would have bought him some space to breathe and probably bring down Garchomp. You know, it occurs to me that Mewtwo knocked out four of Red's Pokemon, just like in "Origins." An interesting little coincidence, there. Crowd: Wow, this is gonna be a great, old school Gen 1 battle! Giovanni: You mean the opponent is gonna do excellently but I'm gonna basically win the whole match with Mewtwo? Sounds good to me!
@@ColgatetheTogekiss Looking over the battles again, I realized that Red's Venusaur probably doesn't have Sleep Powder. Erika's did, but Red's Venusaur only used Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Growth, and Leech Seed ... so if the movesets are the same in every battle, it doesn't have it.
Agree. Giovanni didn't play particularly well in his first battle, and I don't think he did a great job in this one either. But if your team is so much stronger in pure power (MAINLY because of Mewtwo) you can get away with mistakes that others couldn't.
Welcome back Silph!! I thought you were talking a break after a busy upload schedule but then I read the pinned comment and got a little worried. Hope you’re feeling better now and don’t worry we’ll stick with you no matter what
Hey!!! So happy to have you back! Really gotten worried a bit! After all, it's a really uncertain time we live in, and it's always worrying when somebody who usually brings out content really regularly suddenly disappears! (Not criticizing you! Just saying that I'm relieved! :-)) Awesome series and you're doing such a great job! Unfortunate to hear about your health :-( Hope you're doing better! To the battle: Ahhhh, how disappointing. I just feel like Mewtwo is too powerful. Giovanni had now three battles, and in two of them (the first one and this one) he really didn't play particularly well, and yet got carried through, simply because Mewtwo is too OP. Really a shame, feels like Red deserved it a lot more in this case. Really hope Giovanni won't win the entire thing just because of his hyper-super-legendary.
Fun match with a surprising outcome. Though it did seem like Giovanni was set to win. Relying on Machamp's bullet punch to take out the Mewtwo instead of Arcanine's extreme speed? And at the end opting for growth instead of sleep powder? I think most other trainers would have done things a bit differently. Still, it was fun and I'm glad you're doing better. Gonna check out that sponsor's channel!
Well red did quite well considering Giovanni is kinda broken like garchomp(a defining OU Pokémon since it's debute), Mewtwo(UBER ever since Gen 1) mega kangaskan(one of the strongest mega even after the nerfing in Gen 7) Dugtrio(soft Uber with its arena trap and annoying to handle) Nidoking and gyarados(very reliable mons)
I think it is safe to say that Giovanni will win this series. Welcome back Silph! Been refreshing my YT feed just to see if your videos are up. So excited when it finally appeared in my feed.
Hey, i'm really glad you're feeling better and that you've choose to continu this tournament, however there's one tiny critic that I would like to make: sometimes you narrate a pokemon's death before we see it on the screen (like 1/2 second). It's a small detail, but if you could pay a little attention to it, I would really appreciate it as it can keep the suspend a little bit more.
Honestly I think red could have done it if he went for an extreme speed from arcanine instead of the bullet punch from machamp. That's the move that I think lost him the match. Otherwise the same pokemon could have beaten Garchop. Still I think silph made a rather brave decision actually letting Giovanni win for a change. Even if that he's pretty out matched in Cannon.
Sort of, or maybe he's making a big brain play so Red will dominate Loser's bracket and have the "final" match as his victory swan song against the winner of the first bracket, Blue, Oak, or Giovanni.
Glad to see you back! I'm not sure how long I've been waiting for the next match of the tournament. I was really rooting for red but it looks like Giovanni was definitely prepared for his revenge on on the kid that ruined his organization and forced him to go into hiding for decades. The match really could have gone either way with red having a powerful well diverse team where Giovanni had minority strong ground types, a Mega Kangaskhan and a Gyarados for coverage, and the always powerful Mewtwo.
Hope everything will be OK with you. I gotta say, my friends and I watch MMA reguralry and these True Power battes ale almost as intense and interesting as fights in the cage. Mainly due to your amazing commentary, though. Please, keep up the awesome work, I believe this kind of videos holds very promising future.
Disclaimer: I still havent watch the video by the time i write this. Everyone: wants a red vs blue final Me: *The sound of Giovanni steps, while approaching the arena, echoes through the air* Oak: Giovanni. Finally we meet again. Gio: Yes old man... How long have it been? Oh rigth. Since you left the unit, your unit, in the middle of the war. Oak: That war was pointless. No side was right nor wrong. Everyone were killing each other Over the Diference of red and crimson... Gio: BUT YOU WERE THE CHAMPION!!! YOU WERE THE STRONGEST!!! YOU HAD MEW!!! IF YOU KEPT YOUR GUTS IN PLACE THE WOULD HAVE ENDED SOONER!!! KOGA LOST HIS WIFE!!! ROK DIED AND LEFT PEWTER GYM TO HIS GRANDSON!!! AND YOU RUN FROM YOUR RESPONSABILITIES!!! Oak: But it was pointless. So many died... But, in this age, with this new generation, things might be different. Gio: You really think so? Cant you feel the air? Another war is brewing, and just one spark Will detonate everything. But this time it wont last as long. Oak: So Thays why you did it. That poor thing... Gio: Dont lecture me about that. Fuji, surge and even Blaine agreed with me and helped me. With its power not ONLY no One Will attack us, but they will at least ally with each other. Oak: So thats your Path? A pariah? Thays why you order team rocket to commit crimes? So that you are a "criminal organization" and no other country links your actions with ours? Gio: Better a pariah than a coward... Oak: ... why gio? Gio: enouth. I left that life behind. But i still cant forgive your lavk of responsibility. *Grabs a pokeball* Lets end this!!! *Throws mewtwo out* Oak: So thats how this will be... very well... *Throws mew* then we shall end that grudge START BATTLE
Glad to see you back and in good health. Wow, just wow. What a match. The previous one had me on the edge of my seat, but this was a nail biter from start to finish
I imagine this battle intense as hell. Giovanni yelling commands to his pokemon. And red true to character doesnt utter a single word. He is so in tune with his team they can just feel what he thinking and gets their commands almost telepathically. Not just standing like a statue however. Hand gestures too and maybe some sign language thrown in
Finally this series always makes me happy and I'm happy to know that your are ok I was worried for while hope you can continue to feel better silph is #1
I was wondering when we were going to see this. It's all thanks to that awesome patron huh? I would have subscribed to him even if you hadn't said so... his content is actually very well done.
I keep saying it, but RR Giovanni is NOT the same one that Red fought. He's a separate character from a different reality, one without any protagonist character to stop him. Any battle which treats classic Giovanni and RR Giovanni as one and the same is, as far as I'm concerned, invalid.
Yeoo def misses you bro, glad to know your doing well. Your series runs def left an impact on all of us. Can’t wait to see the rest of your work. Stay strong my dude.

When you do another true power tournament dont let any trainer use legendary mons
i hope u feeling better bro glad to have u back!
As long as you're ok that's all that matters. Can't tell you how much this series brightens my days, thank you and glad to see you back
Giovanni: "At last a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!"
Red: "...."😠
hahaha. lol
Welcome back Silph. Definitely missed you. Hope you’re doing better
That match was epic! I cannot thank you enough for the shout-out and I’m SO glad you’re back! You were missed!
And thank you all of you who are supporting me! It’s a wonderful feeling knowing you’re enjoying what I do! =)
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND. HE HAS RETURNED!!!!
Welcome back! Glad you are feeling better
Reminds me of that honest trailer line about gen 1, build the most balance team and lose to the one player who caught mewtwo
Last time I was this early, the Viridian City gym leader was still missing.
#NotificationSquad
Addendum: The edge here was Mewtwo. I'm convinced Red would have taken this if Gio didn't have the (arguably) strongest Pokemon in existence.
Should have gone for sleep powder not growth poor red
leech seed
@@johnathanjones1445 that too or leech seed after sleep
He decided to gamble on the Outrage confusion, and that was a very poor choice lol
@@luizbezerra4373 how about sleep powder accuracy? 75% + perhaps he thought that Garchomp had Lum berry
@@congtruonghuynh8955 either way if it's lum he should've gone for sleep. If it's Lum and he sleeps then the confusion will stick. If it's not then it's put to sleep and that's probably game over for it
Red did pretty well given Giovanni has one of the best legendaries and one of the best pseudo-legendaries

Giovanni: You mean the opponent is gonna do excellently but I'm gonna basically win the whole match with Mewtwo? Sounds good to me!
I was gonna say the same thing. Reds growth was an awful throw
I want to see the villain win. And I got what I wanted. :3

Pretty much Giovanni couldn’t do it without Mewtwo.
Garchomp seemed to of had things under control.
His team can take out everyone in the tourney. Its not even a fair fight.
Garchomp took out two Pokemon lmao.
Caleb Nelson Seethe.
Agree. Giovanni didn't play particularly well in his first battle, and I don't think he did a great job in this one either. But if your team is so much stronger in pure power (MAINLY because of Mewtwo) you can get away with mistakes that others couldn't.
I started watching these and have checked your channel every day for the last 3 weeks waiting for a conclusion. Glad to hear you're not dead.
Welcome back Silph!! I thought you were talking a break after a busy upload schedule but then I read the pinned comment and got a little worried. Hope you’re feeling better now and don’t worry we’ll stick with you no matter what
This was just the break I needed from work, and PokeAtmos is just the kind of music I need for getting back to it
Glad you are back and feeling better
I’m glad you’re feeling better!! Literally this battle series keeps me going thru this pandemic.
Hey!!!
So happy to have you back! Really gotten worried a bit! After all, it's a really uncertain time we live in, and it's always worrying when somebody who usually brings out content really regularly suddenly disappears!
(Not criticizing you! Just saying that I'm relieved! :-))

Ah I missed this. But I legit yelled “no” when Red lost
I was happy. :>
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.

Oh geez, I've been eagerly waiting for this one in particular. I'm excited!
Fun match with a surprising outcome. Though it did seem like Giovanni was set to win.

Go Red Go!
well... heres to Red tearing the loser's bracket
Yeahhhh this is obviously about to become a rematch as the final-final fight, the losers bracket VS winner's bracket, with Red aiming to dethrone.
Wow! Great video again.
Glad you're back and hope you're feeling better
Well red did quite well considering Giovanni is kinda broken like garchomp(a defining OU Pokémon since it's debute),
Mewtwo(UBER ever since Gen 1)
mega kangaskan(one of the strongest mega even after the nerfing in Gen 7)
Dugtrio(soft Uber with its arena trap and annoying to handle)
Nidoking and gyarados(very reliable mons)
Missed this series, glad you're feeling better and can't wait for the rest of the tournament!
so glad you're back i ve been waitin for this series to return in forever . thanks for providing good quality content < 3
Intense battle! Great job Silph! Can't wait to see the end of this tournament!
Ehhh the amazing silph is back at it. Great vid silph as always
missed you and your videos bro :( glad you’re feeling better and don’t push yourself !! awesome video
I think it is safe to say that Giovanni will win this series.
Welcome back Silph! Been refreshing my YT feed just to see if your videos are up. So excited when it finally appeared in my feed.
Glad to see you are back Silph. Great battle as always. Can’t wait to see the rest of the tournament
The hype build up for this was insane from the wait. Couldn’t click faster when this popped up in my feed.

I'm glad you're back SilphSpectre. It's good to see you making content again
So happy you're back! Hope you're get back to strength soon. We all got your back bro.

@@fatuusdottore he can easily decide the winner. for all you know, the moves and plays might be pre-decided 🤷🏻♂️
rishabh pandey i'm choosing to belive he ya the trainers do a best 2 of 3 and shows the best looking match where the winner of the set wins.
No Silph doesn’t script. He plays with his friend who is about equal to him when it comes to skill. He’s said this before.
Glad you’re good man we’ll be here no matter how long of a break you ever need to take ! ❤️❤️
Glad to see you back dude!

I'm super glad you're okay and right back at it. I was wondering if it was idea fatigue due to how you were pumping them out before.
Yoo, so hyped! So glad you're feeling better, stay healthy 🙏
I am so glad you are back. I was really worried
Great to have you back Silph and glad your recovering. The true power series tournament is amazing and often one of the highlights of my day!
Welcome back!!! Excited to see you’re doing better and we have your amazing vids again!
I really miss you all this time. So glad you come back ♥♥
Glad you’re back! This was a great battle living up to the hype
Thank you for uploading this video I was kinda worried about you.
Finally!! The time of desperately checking TH-cam for updates is over!
welcome back glad to see you again hope you are doing better
Giovanni and his Mewtwo are the most ruthless force of this tournament, even Red could not stand. Glad you are back Silph.

Also Im writing this on my phone And Im not a English native só this shit autocorrrects to my language... Sorry about that
Now that is a plot twist. Red's entire plan revolved around Mega Charizard Y, but Mewtwo was extremely damaging. Thrilling right to the end.
its cuz he sent in machamp like an idiot

SOO GLAD THIS IS BACK!! I knew the Don would never lose
Gad you're back!

This is a best team tournament, using the best teams each character can make.
I have a VERY special request! Lorelei vs Lance, or Lorelei vs Misty. I know you are very busy, but I am extremely interested in seeing these!
