I was one of the 5k runner ups for the WB contest. I still have that pack somewhere. I remember being so thrilled to even be a runner up.
It's a fantastically scripted and researched video! Your musical choices, cadence, and structure is impeccable. Though I will say, work on the visuals and editing, as some names pop up and disappear before you say them, and the screen will at times sit uncomfortably long on a black screen. But other than small gripes, your content is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! Keep it up!
I was a runner up for the kids WB contest! I got the booster pack. I fairly recently sent it and some other cards to a collector on TH-cam.
The newest illustrator contest is being advertised right now and even if I literally don't have any chance I'm going to try
holy crow this is an amazing video! i love documentaries like this, and i love the way you describe and compliment all the art. i know nothing about the mechanics of the TCG but i'm a HUGE poké-art fan, and this really made it enjoyable and approachable to learn about this corner of the franchise!
I do want to say, I think the text overlay layer of the video might have de-synced during compression (gotta love Adobe Ae lmao). hopefully there's some way to fix it easily because this is otherwise a god-tier watch and deserves a ton of traction!
Honestly is a surprise that this video doesnt have enough views! Keep up the good work!!
I remember seeing someone I follow on Insta showing their entry for the 2022 contest. I got so excited, went to see how to enter, saw it was exclusively for Japan and the US and feeling so deflated. There was a lot of discourse from other international peeps on the official tweet about the contest by the Pokemon company. Hopefully they'll open the next contest internationally for the rest of their fans.
This video was super well put together and informative! I didn't know so many illustration contests were held before. Phenomenal job! Love when people document the more obscure like this.
This is a great video, even despite the minor editing mistakes with the text. I’m planning on entering this years contest myself, so this will be a great source of reference for what does and doesn’t work.
I love using the vending series Mr. Mime in the second GBC game. It's really nice for neutralising decks' type weaknesses. I never realised it was a fan illustration.
Really underrated channel!
30:44 Sort of reminds me of a Spiritomb and Tyranitar GX Tag Team.
34:40 There I am, Gary! There I am!
There had to have been commercials for that Kids WB contest. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have heard about it otherwise, but I could be wrong, because I also spent a lot of time on their website as a kid. But I vaguely remember seeing the commercials for it. I was also one of the runner ups! Still have those cards albeit in really messed up condition. My younger sister got pen marks all over the Pikachu card which is the most valuable now.
I'm so excited to finish my designs for the 2024 contest
Incredible videos :)
You deserve far more subs, your content so far has been wonderful!

Subbed. Belled. Thank you for these videos!
This was really cool to learn about.
I had no idea, Really good video.
I really like this.
Really awesome, well made video! Keep up the good work ☺ Loved this deep dive.
Man, what a great video, as an aspiring illustrator this really hyped me up and inspired me for tne new contest for this year! gotta suscribe for that
Awesome video! Can’t wait to see more :)
Quite the profile pic you've got there 🤣
You smell like cheez its
eyyy that's my chespin card. I still keep a copy in my phone case. such a great memory
Awesome video! I hope to see more from you :)
This was so interesting! I wish I entered, all the card art is so amazing
Great video ✨
What a great video! Nice job
Stupendous video
I've got a question! Are the initial 20 copies given to the artists glossy as well? I wonder if they are exactly the same.
Scizor was also in the 2022 contest
underrated👇
Was the names popping up before the artists or pictures intentional? that happened alot
ex. Julie hang's name showed up about 3 seconds the actual picture popped in
No, I think the text got desynced with the other visuals in the final stages of editing. Surprised you’re the first person to mention it lol
@Weaboolin gonna be real, I thought it was just lack of sleep playing tricks on me so I figured I'd ask, real glad to see I wasn't going nuts there lmao
Holy shit Arceus on a surfboard
no hate but your annotations are a bit funky and off timing
