+Brady Smith It would just be better to see more diversity in the meta. I'm talking about a balancing the games themselves to make more Pokemon viable not bitching and moaning because people are too afraid to bring different Pokemon in. But seriously though 4 of these guys Pokemon are the same.
+Christian Madrigal agreed, diversity is great, but so is winning, and if I were in their shoes, I would use pokemon that are going to win. but if you want to see diversity, you gotta watch lower ranked matches, they are interesting and always fun.
+Christian Madrigal Gamefreak should make more useful pokemon in the new generation, as well as add megas on pokemon people forgot about. Girafarig is my absolute favorite but i can't think of a good set.
***** heres the thing about that though. you have to remember pokemon is a singleplayer rpg as well. and if every pokemon is equal, then there wouldnt be much of a reason to use any pokemon after you assemble a team of 6, where as if you have weaker pokemon, you will use them for a while untill something better comes around. just look at the majority of bug types. really good early game, almost useless late game.
+Christian Madrigal Well that's exactly what megas are there for. GF just need to do a better job of picking which pokes get megas (ie NOT pseudos) and keeping the megas from being broken (here's looking at you, Kanga)
+Kostas Kotzias You guys realize that removing legendaries would do nothing right? Kangaskan, Amoonguss, Talonflame, Tyranatar, Garchomp, And many more Pokemon would still be over powered. It's called a competitive Metagame. Deal with it, use low tier mons and probably get destroyed, or don't be a good-top player I guess.
+KB2 Gaming I battle online every week, average out on the OU ladder at around 1,550 (Showdown) and a Win/Loss of around 30-9 and have literally never used an OU Pokemon in the tier. You might just suck at the game, dude.
I wish they'd do a highlight reel for the weirder match ups. Not every champ match can have a Pachirisu unfortunately, but I'm sure there are people who've tried unconventional mons in the lower-ranked matches.
I remember watching this when it came out. I was so young and don't know anything about competitive at that time. I totally hate how Landorus looks at that time, and made me not look back in VGC. Now that I'm older and became a VGC player. I still hate him, but he's so reliable in competitive that I gotta give him props for still being viable in Gen 8.
I’m gonna get so much hate for this but I love all of the forces of nature, the only one I kinda dislike in Tornadus Therian but besides that, I like them all a lot.
Honestly, similar story with me and Amoongus. First got into Pokemon, I thought it was ugly as hell, with cheesy Sleep hacks and a stupid name spawning a stupid joke, and it was always popping up when I looked at VGC. Now, 2 years later, a bit wiser (I hope) and way more into VGC, and I'm realising this seemingly mediocre pokémon has been at least relevant for 10 years and 4 generations. And I have nothing but respect for that.
+Emotionlord In all of the history of the Pokemon Video Game Competition (been around since 2008). There hasn't been a single pokemon that was banned unless it was a cover legendary or an event only pokemon such as mew deoxys manaphy shaymin jirachi darkrai. Only exception was in 2010 when the rules used were like the genaration showdown online compettion that was held a few monthes ago where you were allowed to use up to 2 of groudon rayquaza mewtwo kyogre dialgia palkia zekrom reshiram ho-oh or lugia(event legends were still banned). species clause was still in affect so no running multiples of the same pokemon. So looking at the trends the ban your looking for won't happen.
+Monado Boy "Kid Savage" Don't wanna make it sound rough, but your YT comments are being quoted and laughed at on some Twitter accounts I follow. Gotta admit, some of them are hilarious It just showcases how childish and infantile your arguments and way of thinking are, they're seen as a really bad joke or a troll, since no one would take this seriously. Have a nice day!
Even removing the pre-final stage pkmn their still about 300. It's too bad that Game Freak designers doesn't bother with balacing and still hold competition for markting. Just think about it : more than 700^6 possible team compositions and the 2 WCS finalists use almost exactly the same team and strategy. It's truely a waste >_>
Having watched Wolfey's video titled "The Biggest Lie You Believe About Pokémon," I now appreciate this battle _much_ more than I did when I first saw it back in 2015. ^_^
In seniors i ran LO mixed landorus-therian , WP zapdos , band arcanine and breloom , in seniors we got some diversity but in masters :/ ( i top 8 in seniors ) (( tho top 16 in masters was pretty diverse))
@@Kench154 I mean the amount of times you can see the players praying shows how much chance was involved. At the end of the day you can't deny that rng decided a lot.
@@Kench154 i know this is super late, but very well said. Its good to see someone like you that actually thinks logically in the comments lol. Exactly my thoughts aswell.
The tournament? Pffff Just look up the top teams at worlds, most 5-2 results had incredibly unique and interesting teams, so don't generalize looking just at the finals...
People commenting about team building and how hard it was to get to worlds. Go build a team that has Thundurus, landorus, mega Kangaskhan, cresses is, heatran, and amoongus. I bet you get to 1700+ in rating battles no problem. These are the strongest 6 Pokemon in combination. That's why the top 8 teams used nearly identical Pokemon. Of the top 8 there were 6 amoongus, 5 cresses is, 8 landorus, 4 Thundurus, 6 heatran, and 6 kangaskhan used. This is all about consistency and that's what matters. I really hate that this is the current meta but it is practically the same meta from black 2 and white 2. We won't see it change until generation 7, maybe.
+Septen Rating battles are completely different from something like an actual VGC event especially now that battle spot no longer has the pentagon rule in effect. also 1700+ is where you get into the above average players 1800+ is where you get the cream of the crop. There are ways to counter it and even if you build these teams maybe you want them to do something slightly different from the normal set or maybe you want to make an optimized EV spread for said Pokemon, also this is not the same meta from black 2 and white 2 because there are 2 huge factor your missing in black and white 2 more Pokemon were used and the type gems were a thing.
+Septen how would that combination be 'the best'? No combination of Pokemon is 'the best' if everyone has a different battle tactic with different pokemon
+ThatGamerDude the top 8 teams in the world championships of Pokemon use basically the same Pokemon. That's pretty convincing they are the best combination of Pokemon
Just realized that kangaskhan is supposed to sound like genghis khan... You know, the parent Pokemon, like genghis was the ancestor of most of the Eastern world...
+KChaos005 I'm fairly certain it's very easy to tell that pokemon like Cresselia, Landorus, Thunderus, and Heatran are hacked if it says that they were hatched from an egg... I think +umbreonmy1fav meant that if pokemon have to be able to hatch then you wouldn't see legendaries over and over again
ORAS is a Gen VI game even though it takes place in Hoenn. So you can trade from XY. The Gen VI meta does not call for so much from Gen III, so you're not going to see a lot of what's available in Hoenn. On top of that, most pros use something called PKHex to hack in their pokemon with perfect IVs, EVs, and movesets to save lots of time and effort. So they can get any pokemon they want without having to actually go out and catch it. I'm not saying that's for sure what these two gentlemen did, but it's very likely. I use PKHex myself and let me tell you I don't ever see anyone who plays competitively doing it the "legit" way.
and what evidence do you have to support this? Maybe before you try to stereotype competitive players, you should actually think of what your saying and your evidence that supports it. Just because you use "cheating devices" for competitive play doesn't mean every other player doesn't have the patience you lack
and what evidence do you have to support this? Maybe before you try to stereotype competitive players, you should actually think of what your saying and your evidence that supports it.

in game one Hideyuki switches out volcarona for landorus... He could have possibly won if he got rid of the confusion on his aegislash by switching that out instead... What is a paralyzed 5 hp Volcarona going to do against an earthquake either way? Misplay in my opinion.. :3
Can anyone tell me why isn't there singles? I believe it would be better AND faster if it was a single battle with 3 pokemon. or do it somewhat similar to the anime with 3 for the first few and 6 for the grand finals
RIGHT!? This is my exact thought. I prefer singles because it is the same as the anime. Although I dont think it would be faster. The battles would probably be a lot longer actually. (I think this is the reason that they don't) But they should still have a singles category. I would definitely watch that.
I say faster for only 3 because it's about 5-10 minutes max per battle and your Strategy would be kinda limited because you have to adapt to many many types of situations. That's really challenging in my opinion. With six pokemon, it should only be 1 round not 2 because it saves so much time and it would take just as much time as the current battles we see now. Then again, there are defensive walls and stallers but I believe it could work.
Juxboxable right??? you put my thoughts into words perfectly. That's what i was trying to say. Like the other guy said theres no class if he is there rubbing it in the other's guy face. Be dead inside until the match is over.
Where's Even Latt? No offense to Justin Flynn, but Latt was pretty much the most competent world caster for this medium imo. World finals really aren't the same without him...
Just look at 2014, it was REALLY diverse... Sure, M Kanga was a pretty popular choice, along with that pseudo-legendary trio, but everybody had a different team, unlike this -_- And now, seeing ladders for 2016, it's even worse
Shoma is the most cancerous player ever...overly dependent on rng more than skills...constantly relies on paralysis and confusion to win...it's not even fun to watch him play!!
The team wasn't THAT unique, it cut top 4 in nationals in masters. Just bc it didnt have kang doesn't mean it was more diverse. Skill swap was cool tho.
Okay,so,reason why I looked this up,my brothers friend gave me all his cards,ALL of them,I was looking through them and saw a Groupon and was like cool,so I flipped it and on the back it said world championships 2015 and I FREAKED OUT.I don’t know if it was fake or not,but I still treasure it,and now every time I get a Groudon I name it Champion
because swagger has the effect of increasing the opponent's attack stage by twice. Also the fact that almost every pokemon can learn swagger unlike confuse ray.
The competitive play is about using the best, those people who tried to be original were eliminated easily. But good work at trying to look unique with a random yt comment. Sidenote: This is competitive play, a lot of people already tried "ordinary" mons but they are not good enough, this is not a 1 time event, people knows what is good because the good sets and mons were seeing trough regionals, nationals, qualifiares etc. Metagaming might work but its risky for a big event like worlds.
I only ever use Ordinary Pokemon. Maybe this is just me trying to be authentic to the anime and what regular in-game trainers would usually have but I hate using legendaries. It just seems unrealistic and over-powered. I would much rather use a team of my favourite regular pokemon that I caught and trained up.
Entonces donde queda la estrategia? Entiendo lo que dices pero no me vas a negar que estas harto de ver siempre a thondorus o landorus y pff a heatran.
Pienso igual, yo juego con mis amigos solamente, y ente nosotros deimos "no legendarios" así no hay diversión. La calidad se demuestra con la estrategia y el entrenamiento. Un saludo
Ah, loving me some original teams! (Waiting for that one guy to reply that you have to run those pokes or you will lose). Fair statement, but I just wish they would change this.
You don't have to use the common set to have a chance winning, maybe take counters to the common sets. A Pokemon with Ice Beam for Landorus maybe? Or bring a Water-Ground type, people in VGC rarely seem to have grass moves.
Alternatively I might consider Curse - Recover - Waterfall - Earthquake quagsire, curse up and defeat the opponents whole team 4 - 0 now that'd be funny
High five to the guy with the "Remove Genies" sign.
He's an amazing person
Johnny Apple classy, and well articulated

It was awesome watching this in person. Congratulations to the winner!
+Monado Boy "Kid Savage" You clearly didn't watch the other matches. there was diversity
It actually didn't suck.
After 7 years, Thundurus reclaims its throne once more, not through the way of pranks but through the way of absolute defiance. Incineroar be damned.
Pokemon world championships 2015 = the competition of how well you can use mega kangaskhan and the genies
+clausebreaker No, they made the finals because they brought the best of the best. If you wanna win, why should you care what you use?
Brady Smith That was just a sarcastic comment I made for lols. tbh i actually don't mind this year's format.
Okay, thank you.
+Brady Smith It would just be better to see more diversity in the meta. I'm talking about a balancing the games themselves to make more Pokemon viable not bitching and moaning because people are too afraid to bring different Pokemon in. But seriously though 4 of these guys Pokemon are the same.

Ah, the days before Primal groudon being in every team.
But landorus in evrybodys team
This is not much better imo. Seeing Landorus on everyones team. Not to mention how common M-Kang and Thundurus are as well.
yeah because swagger is so much better -_-
Better than this abomination of a competition
or kyogre
in a game with over 700 pokemon, imo there's something very wrong when the 2 championship finalists have 4 of the same pokemon out of 6

The reason why there are no singles is because in the past, there was no settlement at the official tournament in Japan, and each game was long.

This finals is the proof Swagger and Thunder Wave haven't been nerfed enough. Too cheap.
This was the most boring game I've ever watched. Plus Shoma overreacts more than anyone I've ever seen.
Shoma is the most cancerous player ever...overly dependent on rng more than skills...constantly relies on paralysis and confusion to win...it's not even fun to watch him play!!
+Rohit Khetan any player who uses stall or spreads status and counts on hax to win is garbage
+Alucard True !!
No original strats and that geezer with his lack of sportsmanship. I hope this year is better, I seriously do.
This year was boring. Nothing but Landourus and Mega Kanghaskhan
I need help! How do you change the name on your channel? 🤔
That's really sad that the only way to win is to use haxx and the 2 geniuses....
The senior final was better at least it was a Brit that won with unique team
Ya dude the skill swap into the swapped in heatran and heat wave from zard was so sick
The team wasn't THAT unique, it cut top 4 in nationals in masters. Just bc it didnt have kang doesn't mean it was more diverse. Skill swap was cool tho.
I would like to know why guys have a girl avater '-'
Because she's cooler ;)

Problem with this is that everyone uses the same pokemon......
They want to git gud, thats all.
TheMagicMudkip not anymore in 2017 No mega no Legendary
Cynist People will still use the same kinds of Mons. But it would be better to not see P.Kyo and P.Grou though.
the alola region will make this a bit better
what the name of this game? where i can play this?
Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire
Minesweeper
Okay,so,reason why I looked this up,my brothers friend gave me all his cards,ALL of them,I was looking through them and saw a Groupon and was like cool,so I flipped it and on the back it said world championships 2015 and I FREAKED OUT.I don’t know if it was fake or not,but I still treasure it,and now every time I get a Groudon I name it Champion
Why don't they just use confuse ray instead of swagger???
because swagger has the effect of increasing the opponent's attack stage by twice. Also the fact that almost every pokemon can learn swagger unlike confuse ray.
Also confusion deals more damage if u have higher attack
Also confusion deals more damage if u have higher attack

such a bad idea to be using luck too much in a very big match.....
but it you did entertain me,,, never thought that paralyze is that effective.
What kind of game is this? please Reply
First person shooter
ohhh ok thanks
It's not, lol.
It's a Turn-based combat RPG.
It's Digimon
I catch legendaries but I never use them. Maybe for fun sometimes but not in serious battles. The "ordinary" pokemon are underestimated.
Yep, which is downfall of many players.
The competitive play is about using the best, those people who tried to be original were eliminated easily. But good work at trying to look unique with a random yt comment. Sidenote: This is competitive play, a lot of people already tried "ordinary" mons but they are not good enough, this is not a 1 time event, people knows what is good because the good sets and mons were seeing trough regionals, nationals, qualifiares etc. Metagaming might work but its risky for a big event like worlds.
I only ever use Ordinary Pokemon. Maybe this is just me trying to be authentic to the anime and what regular in-game trainers would usually have but I hate using legendaries. It just seems unrealistic and over-powered. I would much rather use a team of my favourite regular pokemon that I caught and trained up.

Esto en verdad da pena todos usan legendarios, en verdad no pueden hacer mas equipos¨?
Entonces donde queda la estrategia?
Entiendo lo que dices pero no me vas a negar que estas harto de ver siempre a thondorus o landorus y pff a heatran.
Pues si supongo no se a mi no me gusta eso pero que se va a hacer
Pienso igual, yo juego con mis amigos solamente, y ente nosotros deimos "no legendarios" así no hay diversión. La calidad se demuestra con la estrategia y el entrenamiento. Un saludo
gracias amigo es bueno saber que muchos pensamos lo mismo
ビエラ最強！！
Ah, loving me some original teams! (Waiting for that one guy to reply that you have to run those pokes or you will lose). Fair statement, but I just wish they would change this.
You don't have to use the common set to have a chance winning, maybe take counters to the common sets. A Pokemon with Ice Beam for Landorus maybe? Or bring a Water-Ground type, people in VGC rarely seem to have grass moves.
TEAM WHISCASH YES
Alternatively I might consider Curse - Recover - Waterfall - Earthquake quagsire, curse up and defeat the opponents whole team 4 - 0 now that'd be funny
No Shadow Sneak onto the Heatran?
Hey, yo! It's really astounding overflow pickle What's your opinion about it, guys !!!
I can't believe this is real
