It's so easy to watch a match and be confused at someones decisions. These people need to step up and record their games and see how different it is lol
Exactly this! Even just playing on WiFi is so much more different than on Showdown, that people forget you don't have the luxury of a cancel button if you missclick and can't take that long per turn. And having to do meaningfull commentary in the mean time is so much to handle as well!
Yeeep. Even the opponent themselves can be confused by someone's decisions. It did happen to me. I missed an obvious kill, and my opponent was a bit confused. They were good sport at least, and did ask me afterwards out of curiosity. People love to throw hate (not constructive criticism, just hate) for no reason, then they do these same kind of mistakes.
I'll never understand the hate people bring to this game. Competitive pokemon draft league has to be one of the most niche nerdy subcultures out there, and the people that play it are there because they're passionate about it and want to have a good time. Yet people that don't even compete get so egotistical and judgmental over a game that's meant to be played for fun. Truly has to be some of the lamest and most juvenile behavior out there.
That’s fandom for you. Whether pop-culture (Star Wars, Disney, DC, MCU), gaming (LoL, Smash Bros, Pokemon, etc), music industry, etc, anything with a fandom means people of all types come together…. And people on this planet are known to always be fighting with each other. Gotta just keep doing what you love and ignore the haters. Same will go in real life. People will support you when you’re doing worse than they are, but when you are doing better? Many of those same people will start making sly remarks.
Nexus I could listen to you talk about any topic i swear. Thank you for addressing this. As the individual opponent in the Joey battle, I was gobsmacked at how pressed the community was over that battle. With all the work we put into the content and the good vibes between coaches, I have little other recourse than to believe that the commentators who crow "why did you throw" or whatever are nothing more than keyboard trolls. Instead of treasure they latch onto whatever the latest shiny video is an look for something to whimper about. It is up to us to create content for ourselves and for those who are there to enjoy it. For those trolls, we must simple enjoy their engagement.
It's sad that people can't tell how much effort actually goes into doing stuff like this. It's not just picking a team and battling other people. If the people that were just being brain-dead in the comments were put in a draft league against solid players they would quickly understand how hard it is to build a team for a league, run mocks, strategize, discuss with people, and then battle the opponent they've been planning around that whole week. To me they are just disconnected with the whole thing. They watch just because they want to see you win, and don't understand how you can make "simple or crazy mistakes" when they have no idea how much effort it really takes.
@@LargeFelineGoutyou're supposed to not be an asshole yet here you are, on a video about people like you, doing what you He literally told you you won't be allowed this kind of access to him if you don't change btw. So maybe work on yourself where you actually have power to make change.
@@LargeFelineGoutgoof ball if the player takes responsibility about a mistake he/she has made why do we need to keep putting them down? There’s many ways of communication with the players that doesn’t have to put them down negatively. If you can understand that stfu and sit back. Let the real fans comment.
"In the game, your mind is completely different versus out of the game." TELL 'EM. It's a shame that these points have to be vocalised but you're a good man for doing so, and a good man in general. Everyone makes mistakes in games and beyond. Dunno why people feel the need to turn honest mistakes in a game into pure hatred but it's unwarranted and entirely unwanted. You're one of the OGs and you'll always be outstanding. It's always hard to just ignore stuff like this coz it gets to you. Just know you got thousands of people who'll have your back at a moment's notice and you can count me among them.
People hate on Wolfey because he wins the way they don't like so it happens even when you win, not only when you lose, you can't expect much from Pokemon community
Keep going King, We've got your back dude, though i suppose i won't be here since im off to Military Training for a couple of months so i hope when i come back theres so change,uxh love and lets aim for an amazing year
99% of those hate comments they wouldn’t say in person. They dont have nothing better to do beside having something down their throat. You and us people who been here since 2013 know how great a battler you are.
Keep going strong brother, after playing draft leagues myself for around 10 months i absolutely understand what you mean when you say playing the game is totally different then just watching, and i can imagine how frustrating it can be for people to say you throw on purpose when your super competitive about the game, i made a very similar mistake to what you showed in my second draft battle ever where because i was calcing the moves i basically ran out of time and to choose my move and lost the freeist game ever, watching that make already makes me upset at myself i cant imagine people hating on someone for mistake like that, i love watching your draft videos and hope you keep making more as long as you enjoy them, i wish you luck in your league whatever it may be ❤
Tbh I’m glad you are bringing focus to this most people would say ignore the hate but there comes a point where you can’t and I feel you keep it’s as respectful as possible without letting people push you around
Been in a league for a couple seasons and while I'm arguably bad competitively, I have made several huge brain plays, preps and drafts, we even some awards pre-playoffs and I am the player with the most awards wom, either as a solo coach, co-op coach or i when took over a team. Everything before and after a season is pretty chill, lots of wishes we have as coaches pre-season and a lot of retrospect we have post-season, but when the season is on? We take it serious, sometimes too serious in fact, often spending hours team building for at least 5 pokemon they can run away with the game if they run something hyper specific, and what the fucking peanut gallery never gets is that we have to play with all those scenarios in mind, using the showdown calculator for HOURS on end too, outside and inside of battles I think some part of it is bits of protagonist syndrome where they (the peanut gallery) sees the better play and think they are already better because they would def not make that mistake And yeah, viewers are great, I've never had a single bad interaction with them or spectators in the league I've been in. Respect the video and your objectively correct take on this Keep slaying.
As a VERY small time draft league coach that uploads to youtube, I can confidently say that mistakes happen. Even misclicks. I threw a game on showdown because I wanted to check something on a mon and accidentally clicked on it and threw it into battle. People will always find something to hate if they want to hate something. Just keep on being awesome and keep doing the things that make u happy
this right here is the heart and soul of draft league this man will bleed this format till the day he dies and ill be right there with him to the very end much love to u king i truly believe these haters wanna purposly say shit so they get that attention that they never got as kids from there parents growing up if im being honest i stand with u bro and agree that things have to stop and change people dont understand how much they either affect or hurt content creators with how they wanna talk and act like they just wanna make themselves sound smart and act like there know it alls but in reality they probably were people that barely passed high school i truly believe we need this hate to stop cause sooner or later people will need to realize how they will ruin someones mindset and may force a person to quit so they no longer get those commenters back i truly hope this video can spread and start the movement for change and we can have healty comment sections again cause we all need to support each other and we need to all be there for one another in any way possible so hopefully starting today after this video the change can start now and we all can be on the same team once again much love to u my brother and i cant wait for all the fire league content coming up and ill always be ready to watch some master class battling from u in all the future games❤❤❤❤❤
As someone who has done draft leagues for a few years now, I couldn't agree more on the stuff Nexus went over. The difference in how you treat a match when you're spectating vs when you're an active participant is staggering. So I could never understand the thought process of thinking you actively have to try to mess up in these game when that's quite easy to do sometimes. Constructive criticism is one thing, but talking down on someone, ESPECIALLY when it comes to some damn pokemon draft league stuff will always be a sport for weirdos. Hope that y'all are able to bring in the new year strong with all you have planned, I'll def be tuning in to more of your draft content!
95/100 people who comment prob have never played drafted and don’t know how challenging it is and that it’s even harder playing on switch instead of showdown.
I think this occurs in every sport. I don't know if it is only a thing in my country, but we call these type of sport enthusiast a "psychofan". They support their local team the loudest, but when their team loses, they punish it themselves, with physical aggresion as well.
People just love finding reasons to be mean on the internet since they're miserable people regardless. And as you said they love being hindsight harrys acting like they're god's gift to the comment section when they're just being obnoxious. You're the goat much love keep your head up brother
I was bummed to see you click CC when you knew it was a ghost Terra type, but I immediately said “It’s all good man, I’ve done it before myself but with an actual ghost type. I just hope nexus is good mentally” Bro you are my FAVORITE Pokétuber. Always has been, always will be. I’m sorry you’re getting all this hate when you don’t deserve it. You had a great run REGARDLESS of the outcome. You’ve come a long way bro don’t forget that man. Screw the haters
Thank You for making this video, draft is stressful and having people dogging on you and genuinely being rude for mistakes sucks man We don't all play at our best, as someone who isn't the best at draft especially in gen 9 I know how it feels. Like people forget its okay to lose or mess up, because at the end of the day it is just a game You are the goat Nexus as always
You and Joey are the reason I started watching draft last year. You’re so entertaining and I hope you never quit, but I’ll get it if you’re done. Love watching you man
We've lost a lot of draft players due to this, its so easy to watch the game afterwards, but we aren't there in the moment, we have all had occasions where we have regretted plays or made mistakes. We're human, we move on. People love to dog on creators, you especially Nexus receive far too much shit and it frustrates me every time. You're an incredible player, you're a long serviceman to the draft scene, and you're an incredible human. Love seeing you thrive as you have been, keep up the fantastic content king
Mostly here for the draft content. Always rooting for you cuzzy!! Been here since the mid 2010s. Will always be coming back for you You’re the goat and even goats misplay. Forget it, move on. You’re in the limelight, people will ALWAYS clown you, win or lose. Hope your day is get the chance to read this
Honestly, so many people criticising you as if they haven't made any mistakes at all is insane. I do make mistakes, which is normal. I hate when they happen, but hey, what can we do? We can't change the past. One of my recent mistakes was not killing a Corviknight when I had the perfect chance. I did end up winning, yeah, but I did not see that kill at all. Imagine if it were a more threatening mon that I didn't kill. I also do bad switches thinking the mon being swapped would take hits well, but then it doesn't. Anyway, my point is: People need to have a bit of empathy. You are great Nexus. Next league, you will win for us. For the believers. For you. To show the haters that they are wrong. PS: Hope you win in that league you mentioned you won in semis. PPS: Love the Joey glaze. Well, glaze in general. PPPS: Congrats on the 2nd place in that Colosseum draft!
I was hands on head when I saw the misplay, but seeing people get THIS aggressive over Pokémon is absurd. They act like your life is at stake and $500k is the prize. Draft is for the love of the game. You and SV draft has honestly been slow improvement since the first league. Keep at it king. You got my support no doubt :)
Feels like 2015 hearing this. I'm sure Mogwai, Shady, aDrive et al all did videos similar to this, and turned their backs on draft league because of the insane hate from people who have nothing better to do. It's not a paid event guys, you're not watching the world cup. People need to chill before we lose it altogether
Honestly bro just boils down to people wanting to feel superior If they see you slipping then they'll jump on that because putting someone else down makes them feel better about themselves. At the end of the day this is all for fun, we're all human and make mistakes Best of luck in the future seasons brother
As another person I watch on youtube says, "MONETIZE YOUR HATERS!!!" You are good Nexus, honestly I wish I had enough time in life to do even ONE season of a pokemon draft league. Thank you for being an outlet along with all the other coaches throughout all the leagues for me to enjoy this.
I emphasise with what you're going through Nexus, and this is a very healthy and reasonable video for the community. The way you went about it was more respectful than people deserved and very mature.
Commenting to make sure this video reaches as far as possible. I could draw comparisons to the way people treat the sports teams they supposedly root for but I don't think that would be helpful here. Keep being amazing and going strong, Nexus.
People forget that this is all for entertainment and that there’s a human behind the screen. No reason you should be getting this much hate bro, all the real ones are behind you
As a long time draft player myself with a solidly high quality resume, i feel this struggle. The toxicity in this community is disgusting. People make mistakes. We jave all calced something wrong or looked away from the screen and missed an important detail. It is what it is
Man, I find you entertaining. It's not even about you winning, it's fun. Sorry you're getting so much heat for a mistake that everyone has made. Happy new year, bro.
Ignore the haters Nexus. We are all human! People behind a computer screen who could never say stuff like that when they are in person. Its just a video game. No one knows what have going on in your head or what you are dealing with outside of TH-cam. Fuq them bro
Hey man Love your videos, win or lose you always bring hype energy to every draft game. Those keyboard warriors are salty you can put out fire content and they cant even stand up on their weak knees without grunting and sweating. Keep up the HEAT
Nexus I will never understand how anyone gets so much hate. You could upload and get 6-0 every week. And I would still show love. Some people just have hate in their hearts. Love you man I hope the community can change and stop spreading so much hate
Hey Nexus, ik you might not see this, been a fan since day 1. Always one of my goats. I started draft 1 year and a half ago and shit is not easy and I want to echo that. In the moment you try to make the right plays and sometimes it don't happen. We are human not everything is going to be perfect. I've done it plenty of times but I keep grinding. Ik you a good player keep it up, I'll always be a fan. You and the draft league community are who got me into this I'll always back yall ✊️
I almost never responded to any videos, but I go out of way to say please don’t let it get to you. You’re one of the most entertaining TH-camrs for me and one of the only ones I consistently watch draft league battles of for years. Keep doing what you do best, be you. Ignore hating nobodies. Much love from the Netherlands 🙏🏼
These levels of hate are crazy. Comparing this to professional sports organizations where all they have to worry about is performing well in said sport is OD. I normally don’t check out comments either but haven’t seen hate on someone like this since Duncancantdie upset Wolfe in the WBE VGC division years ago in SwSh
Miserable people always find ways to discredit your wins and harshly criticize your losses. Sad to see people like that ruin good things. Part of the grind is picking yourself up after a loss and getting back at it, makes the wins so much more meaningful. Keep doing you hopefully things get better 💯
I think people being passionate is one thing, but like you said the weirdos gotta go. "Damn, unfort misplay but banger season" and "Damn, can't believe this guy sucks more at mons than I do toes" are NOT the same thing (also get that feet freak outta here, who is that guy?) You're a legend, the energy is goated, next season is Nexus time frfr
Why is the most goated poketuber, no TH-camr, for years, to ever touch this platform getting hate over a simple mistake that we’ve all done at least once in our lives ever playing Pokémon. Leave king alone 🔫🗿
How don’t people understand that a) mistakes happen b) the pressure is ON in the middle of a game c) people rarely intentionally throw games and when they do they’re usually up front about it (“this game doesn’t matter so I’m gonna give my opponent the win to help their poff chances”) These things happen lmao are you even a seasoned vet if you haven’t done something like this? Tldr nexus the goat
Truly don't understand why people are like this. I think at some point Shady said the toxicity was partially why he had left draft. Sad that toxicity drives away good people in the community... Either way, glad you made this vid, didn't realize people were doing this same garbage to Joey.
People that don’t participate in Draft Leagues will never understand. In game your brain goes 1000miles per hour and your trying to not over predict and play properly. Nexus you’re goated and these people are trash ass internet warriors.
Love all your overall grind with draft and it does suck that people are just rude and downright disrespectful overall. I myself am trying to get into the grind of draft so here is to both of our grinds :)
People should try to understand that the calmness of watching a video isnt the same feeling as playing in a match live. Just be nice and enjoy the gameplay
Yea I get this when I’m in a game I make a mistake and don’t realize it after the game. People need to realize everyone makes mistakes! Hope to see more content from you in the future! Also it was a misclick like come on its Not that serious. 🤣
I've been rooting for you for how many drafts its been, I hate to see you sell the bag. Im just gonna be honest you fumbled the best run yet and thats it. Keep your chin up Nexus and do better for next round, I want to see you win.
Definitely true playing the game is completely different mindset than watching. Just know whoever throws hate at losses is still probably coming from a place of wanting to see you win. That's more than a lot of us get lol. It's a fucked up sort of love it it's own way.
There is absolutely no reason to hate. Everyone can make a mistake. No one is perfect at the end of the day. Under no circumstances should there be any sort of antagonizing on it. Some people seriously have to grow up and realize it's a game.
As a genuine fan of your draft league... I'll pull up the comments and feel sick about the angry haters In the comments. Even the ones that are kinda supportive are back handed and gross. Block em man. Poor social skill dweebs. I love the team, I love your work, and I loved this season... Can't wait till the next one
Some people are crazy haters and you’re so right, I read some of the messages you get and truly don’t understand where they’re getting the confidence to talk shit despite having no resume. I’m here hoping I get the chance to play you sometime and stressing about how well I’ll play against you. You’re a good player haters suck
What they say about you is their problem, not yours. It's more of a reflection of their internal insecurities than it is about you, so don't take it to heart. The words people say will come back to accuse them.
Mf’s don’t realize that it’s a fucking video game. AND IT’S POKEMON, LIKE HELLO??? People getting salty over a kids game that we play competitively (for fun too). For those people who bitch and complain, get a job at McDonalds bruh. It ain’t that serious 💀You are the literal GOAT Nexus 🙏🏻 We love you and appreciate you, keep on being you man. Good on you for calling out this negativity.
I try to skip comments on YT since I can't block other users but I wish all the excessively negative trolls focusing on freaking draft league like there arent more important issues in the world a very happy realizing your ego is in desperate need of checking. Ive barely played competitive pokemon. In 2018 during worlds, I remember thinking "if Emilio double protects Gengar he'll be a world champ" before he didnt double protect Gengar, who got knocked out and then Emilio lost. Ive played enough competitive to know that making that singular call while watching a live stream does not mean I would be a world champ in his shoes. I would never be in his shoes bc he would 4-0 me twice in swiss and I'd have no chance at day 2 by the end of my 3rd round, maybe 4 if Im lucky
Ignore all the haters. They would never say that in person. Screens have made people brain broken. 2025 should be the year of touching grass for all of these dweebs. Love you nexus, still the goat 🐐
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of really great people in draft league, but it does seem to attract a subset of really crazy ego-maniacs. I couldn't agree more especially when you talk about people thinking they are "gods", "that's a mistake I'd never make". I do think these people are a loud minority, at least, but it really is insane how people can be sometimes. I hope they never discourage you and you keep playing and posting videos for a very long time
This sucks man. Love your draft vids, wins and losses, it's all games and you genuinely make the most fun and entertaining plays. Big ups, still holding out for the BR draft!
Yo fuck the haters bro! What you doin' for draft league (especially in this day and age) matters... HEAVY! The OG's know what's up and we'll always tune in ❤
Aw, hell. This stuff started up again? I've only heard about Draft commenter toxicity in "the old days" from Aim talking about how things have changed (wasn't really on pokemon youtube then), and every time I assumed it was staying in the past. Talk your talk, big dog
Everyone makes mistakes, aim, wolfey literal Jesus Christ, like you said in the video it's human nature The question shouldn't be to ask "how could you make such a mistake" but "how can I/we learn from this" In this case what's to be learned imo above just "look at the screen when selecting your move" is the human need to explain mistakes "logically" and how could this reflect on the way one sees his own mistakes in life. And perhaps more importantly, the value of bringing these subjects up and talking about it openly
I've been watching you since the beginning. Ever since the GBA with Steve. And to be brutally honest, I've always known you to be that guy who overpredicts. This will sound mean, but for a very long time, you've always been a "free win" and the statistics have shown. But I always watched and supported you over the past decade because I enjoy you. But I've been pleasantly surprised that your battling skills have improved greatly over the past couple years and you've actually been crushing it. You still overpredict sometimes and it still costs you games, but you're crushing it now and doing an above average job and I'm actually proud of you. You've beaten Joey the past 3 times you battled him and nobody else has the honor of saying that. But in the times you throw games, I have never once left a toxic comment on your videos before because I have empathy and understand that we all make mistakes. I've been playing smogon and vgc for 13 years and I still make mistakes. It happens, I understand. And the people who leave toxic comments have obviously never battled at a competitive level. Don't take them too seriously. You keep doing you. Don't let the haters get you down. They've never touched grass.
Wait did you delete the negative comments in the last vid? There’s legit maybe 1 or 2 negative comments that just said you threw. The rest are overwhelmingly positive
Sorry you get so much hate man. Honestly you’re the only draft league player I watch and even though you don’t always have the best of results I still enjoy watching your matches every week, keep doing your thing!
Im sad you got a lot of hate for this misplay. As a fan I just want you to win so seeing you lose is upsetting, but not an excuse to be mean to you. We know you are a goat!
Keyboard warriors have this massive ego for no no reason. I bet they watch sports a see some someone miss a play up and they go "I could do better". Yeah right. People dont realize the work and effort that goes into getting these out weekly not to mention "the pressure" of playing and knowing thousands of people will be watching this. I also dont think people realize how much harder wifi vs showdown in terms of the limited information you have on your screen. You have to be so much more locked in but while being entertaining for the video. It really is harder then people think and Im sad its 2025 and we still have these know-it-all backseat egotistical people in the comments section.
Oh i thought the hate was to paldea dex draft. Which imo isnt the best meta for sure compared to what we used to have. I m not surprised tho about the hate you are talking about, it s not like that in most leagues and i played since gen 6. That s a TH-cam thing imo.
So wild, I don’t have the time or energy to make those kinds of comments on a GAME that I enjoy watching FOR FUN like guys if you don’t like it don’t watch
It's so easy to watch a match and be confused at someones decisions. These people need to step up and record their games and see how different it is lol
Exactly this! Even just playing on WiFi is so much more different than on Showdown, that people forget you don't have the luxury of a cancel button if you missclick and can't take that long per turn. And having to do meaningfull commentary in the mean time is so much to handle as well!
Yeeep. Even the opponent themselves can be confused by someone's decisions. It did happen to me. I missed an obvious kill, and my opponent was a bit confused. They were good sport at least, and did ask me afterwards out of curiosity.
People love to throw hate (not constructive criticism, just hate) for no reason, then they do these same kind of mistakes.
love you. sorry people are ass. you're the goat regardless of what they say. i will always be here cheering you on!!
You're also the goat! Recently found your channel, love your videos.

Been in a league for a couple seasons and while I'm arguably bad competitively, I have made several huge brain plays, preps and drafts, we even some awards pre-playoffs and I am the player with the most awards wom, either as a solo coach, co-op coach or i when took over a team.
Everything before and after a season is pretty chill, lots of wishes we have as coaches pre-season and a lot of retrospect we have post-season, but when the season is on? We take it serious, sometimes too serious in fact, often spending hours team building for at least 5 pokemon they can run away with the game if they run something hyper specific, and what the fucking peanut gallery never gets is that we have to play with all those scenarios in mind, using the showdown calculator for HOURS on end too, outside and inside of battles
I think some part of it is bits of protagonist syndrome where they (the peanut gallery) sees the better play and think they are already better because they would def not make that mistake
And yeah, viewers are great, I've never had a single bad interaction with them or spectators in the league I've been in.
Respect the video and your objectively correct take on this
Keep slaying.
As a VERY small time draft league coach that uploads to youtube, I can confidently say that mistakes happen. Even misclicks. I threw a game on showdown because I wanted to check something on a mon and accidentally clicked on it and threw it into battle. People will always find something to hate if they want to hate something. Just keep on being awesome and keep doing the things that make u happy
this right here is the heart and soul of draft league this man will bleed this format till the day he dies and ill be right there with him to the very end much love to u king
i truly believe these haters wanna purposly say shit so they get that attention that they never got as kids from there parents growing up if im being honest
i stand with u bro and agree that things have to stop and change people dont understand how much they either affect or hurt content creators with how they wanna talk and act like they just wanna make themselves sound smart and act like there know it alls but in reality they probably were people that barely passed high school
i truly believe we need this hate to stop cause sooner or later people will need to realize how they will ruin someones mindset and may force a person to quit so they no longer get those commenters back i truly hope this video can spread and start the movement for change and we can have healty comment sections again cause we all need to support each other and we need to all be there for one another in any way possible
so hopefully starting today after this video the change can start now and we all can be on the same team once again much love to u my brother and i cant wait for all the fire league content coming up and ill always be ready to watch some master class battling from u in all the future games❤❤❤❤❤
As someone who has done draft leagues for a few years now, I couldn't agree more on the stuff Nexus went over. The difference in how you treat a match when you're spectating vs when you're an active participant is staggering. So I could never understand the thought process of thinking you actively have to try to mess up in these game when that's quite easy to do sometimes. Constructive criticism is one thing, but talking down on someone, ESPECIALLY when it comes to some damn pokemon draft league stuff will always be a sport for weirdos. Hope that y'all are able to bring in the new year strong with all you have planned, I'll def be tuning in to more of your draft content!
95/100 people who comment prob have never played drafted and don’t know how challenging it is and that it’s even harder playing on switch instead of showdown.
I think this occurs in every sport. I don't know if it is only a thing in my country, but we call these type of sport enthusiast a "psychofan". They support their local team the loudest, but when their team loses, they punish it themselves, with physical aggresion as well.
People just love finding reasons to be mean on the internet since they're miserable people regardless. And as you said they love being hindsight harrys acting like they're god's gift to the comment section when they're just being obnoxious. You're the goat much love keep your head up brother
Facts on facts. Mad respect for what you do and have done for the scene 🐐
I was bummed to see you click CC when you knew it was a ghost Terra type, but I immediately said
“It’s all good man, I’ve done it before myself but with an actual ghost type. I just hope nexus is good mentally”
Bro you are my FAVORITE Pokétuber. Always has been, always will be. I’m sorry you’re getting all this hate when you don’t deserve it. You had a great run REGARDLESS of the outcome. You’ve come a long way bro don’t forget that man. Screw the haters
Thank You for making this video, draft is stressful and having people dogging on you and genuinely being rude for mistakes sucks man
We don't all play at our best, as someone who isn't the best at draft especially in gen 9 I know how it feels. Like people forget its okay to lose or mess up, because at the end of the day it is just a game
You are the goat Nexus as always
You and Joey are the reason I started watching draft last year. You’re so entertaining and I hope you never quit, but I’ll get it if you’re done. Love watching you man
I've always been a huge fan of your draft content. I was hype when you got back into it. Do you Nexus!
We've lost a lot of draft players due to this, its so easy to watch the game afterwards, but we aren't there in the moment, we have all had occasions where we have regretted plays or made mistakes. We're human, we move on. People love to dog on creators, you especially Nexus receive far too much shit and it frustrates me every time. You're an incredible player, you're a long serviceman to the draft scene, and you're an incredible human. Love seeing you thrive as you have been, keep up the fantastic content king
Mostly here for the draft content. Always rooting for you cuzzy!! Been here since the mid 2010s. Will always be coming back for you
You’re the goat and even goats misplay. Forget it, move on. You’re in the limelight, people will ALWAYS clown you, win or lose.
Hope your day is get the chance to read this
Honestly, so many people criticising you as if they haven't made any mistakes at all is insane. I do make mistakes, which is normal. I hate when they happen, but hey, what can we do? We can't change the past. One of my recent mistakes was not killing a Corviknight when I had the perfect chance. I did end up winning, yeah, but I did not see that kill at all. Imagine if it were a more threatening mon that I didn't kill. I also do bad switches thinking the mon being swapped would take hits well, but then it doesn't.
Anyway, my point is: People need to have a bit of empathy. You are great Nexus. Next league, you will win for us. For the believers. For you. To show the haters that they are wrong.
PS: Hope you win in that league you mentioned you won in semis.
PPS: Love the Joey glaze. Well, glaze in general.
PPPS: Congrats on the 2nd place in that Colosseum draft!
I was hands on head when I saw the misplay, but seeing people get THIS aggressive over Pokémon is absurd. They act like your life is at stake and $500k is the prize. Draft is for the love of the game. You and SV draft has honestly been slow improvement since the first league. Keep at it king. You got my support no doubt :)
Feels like 2015 hearing this. I'm sure Mogwai, Shady, aDrive et al all did videos similar to this, and turned their backs on draft league because of the insane hate from people who have nothing better to do. It's not a paid event guys, you're not watching the world cup. People need to chill before we lose it altogether
Honestly bro just boils down to people wanting to feel superior
If they see you slipping then they'll jump on that because putting someone else down makes them feel better about themselves.
At the end of the day this is all for fun, we're all human and make mistakes
Best of luck in the future seasons brother
As another person I watch on youtube says, "MONETIZE YOUR HATERS!!!" You are good Nexus, honestly I wish I had enough time in life to do even ONE season of a pokemon draft league. Thank you for being an outlet along with all the other coaches throughout all the leagues for me to enjoy this.
I emphasise with what you're going through Nexus, and this is a very healthy and reasonable video for the community. The way you went about it was more respectful than people deserved and very mature.
You've leveled up as a player and you're super entertaining. Anyone saying negative stuff isn't worth your time ❤
Commenting to make sure this video reaches as far as possible. I could draw comparisons to the way people treat the sports teams they supposedly root for but I don't think that would be helpful here. Keep being amazing and going strong, Nexus.
People forget that this is all for entertainment and that there’s a human behind the screen. No reason you should be getting this much hate bro, all the real ones are behind you
As a long time draft player myself with a solidly high quality resume, i feel this struggle. The toxicity in this community is disgusting. People make mistakes. We jave all calced something wrong or looked away from the screen and missed an important detail. It is what it is
Man, I find you entertaining. It's not even about you winning, it's fun. Sorry you're getting so much heat for a mistake that everyone has made. Happy new year, bro.
Ignore the haters Nexus. We are all human! People behind a computer screen who could never say stuff like that when they are in person. Its just a video game.
No one knows what have going on in your head or what you are dealing with outside of TH-cam. Fuq them bro
Hey man Love your videos, win or lose you always bring hype energy to every draft game. Those keyboard warriors are salty you can put out fire content and they cant even stand up on their weak knees without grunting and sweating. Keep up the HEAT
All of us who have a stance in draft, including myself will always have your back brother. All noise.
Nexus I will never understand how anyone gets so much hate. You could upload and get 6-0 every week. And I would still show love. Some people just have hate in their hearts. Love you man I hope the community can change and stop spreading so much hate
Commenting for the algo and bc you’re the long time goat. Sorry people are so weird about a mf game. Love u pookie.
Hey Nexus, ik you might not see this, been a fan since day 1. Always one of my goats. I started draft 1 year and a half ago and shit is not easy and I want to echo that. In the moment you try to make the right plays and sometimes it don't happen. We are human not everything is going to be perfect. I've done it plenty of times but I keep grinding. Ik you a good player keep it up, I'll always be a fan. You and the draft league community are who got me into this I'll always back yall ✊️
I almost never responded to any videos, but I go out of way to say please don’t let it get to you. You’re one of the most entertaining TH-camrs for me and one of the only ones I consistently watch draft league battles of for years. Keep doing what you do best, be you. Ignore hating nobodies. Much love from the Netherlands 🙏🏼
These levels of hate are crazy. Comparing this to professional sports organizations where all they have to worry about is performing well in said sport is OD.
I normally don’t check out comments either but haven’t seen hate on someone like this since Duncancantdie upset Wolfe in the WBE VGC division years ago in SwSh
Miserable people always find ways to discredit your wins and harshly criticize your losses. Sad to see people like that ruin good things. Part of the grind is picking yourself up after a loss and getting back at it, makes the wins so much more meaningful. Keep doing you hopefully things get better 💯
I genuinely do not understand how fickle some competitive fans are as well as Pokémon fans in general.
That's the internet man. Sucks but happens. People won't change
I think people being passionate is one thing, but like you said the weirdos gotta go. "Damn, unfort misplay but banger season" and "Damn, can't believe this guy sucks more at mons than I do toes" are NOT the same thing (also get that feet freak outta here, who is that guy?)
You're a legend, the energy is goated, next season is Nexus time frfr
Why is the most goated poketuber, no TH-camr, for years, to ever touch this platform getting hate over a simple mistake that we’ve all done at least once in our lives ever playing Pokémon. Leave king alone 🔫🗿
How don’t people understand that
a) mistakes happen
b) the pressure is ON in the middle of a game
c) people rarely intentionally throw games and when they do they’re usually up front about it (“this game doesn’t matter so I’m gonna give my opponent the win to help their poff chances”)
These things happen lmao are you even a seasoned vet if you haven’t done something like this? Tldr nexus the goat
Truly don't understand why people are like this. I think at some point Shady said the toxicity was partially why he had left draft. Sad that toxicity drives away good people in the community... Either way, glad you made this vid, didn't realize people were doing this same garbage to Joey.
People that don’t participate in Draft Leagues will never understand. In game your brain goes 1000miles per hour and your trying to not over predict and play properly. Nexus you’re goated and these people are trash ass internet warriors.
Love all your overall grind with draft and it does suck that people are just rude and downright disrespectful overall. I myself am trying to get into the grind of draft so here is to both of our grinds :)
I just wanna be able to play as well. Draft league seems so hard to get into if ur a nobody. I wanna casually draft league.
People should try to understand that the calmness of watching a video isnt the same feeling as playing in a match live. Just be nice and enjoy the gameplay
Yea I get this when I’m in a game I make a mistake and don’t realize it after the game. People need to realize everyone makes mistakes! Hope to see more content from you in the future! Also it was a misclick like come on its Not that serious. 🤣
I've been rooting for you for how many drafts its been, I hate to see you sell the bag. Im just gonna be honest you fumbled the best run yet and thats it.
Keep your chin up Nexus and do better for next round, I want to see you win.
Definitely true playing the game is completely different mindset than watching. Just know whoever throws hate at losses is still probably coming from a place of wanting to see you win. That's more than a lot of us get lol. It's a fucked up sort of love it it's own way.
Agreed with all points bro all these randos commenting aren’t real fans of you and would likely get wiped in any draft league lmfao
Is just like that meme "Is only a game, why you have to be mad?", still love you Nexus
There is absolutely no reason to hate. Everyone can make a mistake. No one is perfect at the end of the day. Under no circumstances should there be any sort of antagonizing on it. Some people seriously have to grow up and realize it's a game.
As a genuine fan of your draft league... I'll pull up the comments and feel sick about the angry haters In the comments. Even the ones that are kinda supportive are back handed and gross.
Block em man. Poor social skill dweebs.
I love the team, I love your work, and I loved this season... Can't wait till the next one
Some people are weird, have no life and take some things way to seriously who cares what they think, do u regardless of what they say😂😂
100% agree man, we all make mistakes. First step to stopping the toxicity is bringing attention to it like this 👍
Some people are crazy haters and you’re so right, I read some of the messages you get and truly don’t understand where they’re getting the confidence to talk shit despite having no resume. I’m here hoping I get the chance to play you sometime and stressing about how well I’ll play against you. You’re a good player haters suck
What they say about you is their problem, not yours. It's more of a reflection of their internal insecurities than it is about you, so don't take it to heart. The words people say will come back to accuse them.
Nah, you're good man. The only real bad one was your last video when you said they'd Tera ghost and then chose a fighting move.
Mf’s don’t realize that it’s a fucking video game. AND IT’S POKEMON, LIKE HELLO??? People getting salty over a kids game that we play competitively (for fun too). For those people who bitch and complain, get a job at McDonalds bruh. It ain’t that serious 💀You are the literal GOAT Nexus 🙏🏻 We love you and appreciate you, keep on being you man. Good on you for calling out this negativity.
I try to skip comments on YT since I can't block other users but I wish all the excessively negative trolls focusing on freaking draft league like there arent more important issues in the world a very happy realizing your ego is in desperate need of checking.
Ive barely played competitive pokemon. In 2018 during worlds, I remember thinking "if Emilio double protects Gengar he'll be a world champ" before he didnt double protect Gengar, who got knocked out and then Emilio lost. Ive played enough competitive to know that making that singular call while watching a live stream does not mean I would be a world champ in his shoes. I would never be in his shoes bc he would 4-0 me twice in swiss and I'd have no chance at day 2 by the end of my 3rd round, maybe 4 if Im lucky
Ignore all the haters. They would never say that in person. Screens have made people brain broken. 2025 should be the year of touching grass for all of these dweebs. Love you nexus, still the goat 🐐
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of really great people in draft league, but it does seem to attract a subset of really crazy ego-maniacs. I couldn't agree more especially when you talk about people thinking they are "gods", "that's a mistake I'd never make". I do think these people are a loud minority, at least, but it really is insane how people can be sometimes. I hope they never discourage you and you keep playing and posting videos for a very long time
This sucks man. Love your draft vids, wins and losses, it's all games and you genuinely make the most fun and entertaining plays. Big ups, still holding out for the BR draft!
Simply put people just hate to hate no reason needed. You Goated bro keep your head up 💪🏽
Nexus we love you dawg, it is absolutely ridiculous that you’re being forced to put up with this
Had another thought: most of these commenters have GOT to be 14 years old, it's the only explanation for most of them
It requires the viewers who enjoy NN, other youtubers and draft league to cook the people posting negative comments. We need change :)
Yo fuck the haters bro! What you doin' for draft league (especially in this day and age) matters... HEAVY! The OG's know what's up and we'll always tune in ❤
Aw, hell. This stuff started up again? I've only heard about Draft commenter toxicity in "the old days" from Aim talking about how things have changed (wasn't really on pokemon youtube then), and every time I assumed it was staying in the past. Talk your talk, big dog
Insane that people can be like this to anyone, let alone the GOAT! We’re human. We make mistakes. Still a goat battler and content creator!
Everyone makes mistakes, aim, wolfey literal Jesus Christ, like you said in the video it's human nature
The question shouldn't be to ask "how could you make such a mistake" but "how can I/we learn from this"
In this case what's to be learned imo above just "look at the screen when selecting your move" is the human need to explain mistakes "logically" and how could this reflect on the way one sees his own mistakes in life. And perhaps more importantly, the value of bringing these subjects up and talking about it openly
I've been watching you since the beginning. Ever since the GBA with Steve. And to be brutally honest, I've always known you to be that guy who overpredicts. This will sound mean, but for a very long time, you've always been a "free win" and the statistics have shown. But I always watched and supported you over the past decade because I enjoy you. But I've been pleasantly surprised that your battling skills have improved greatly over the past couple years and you've actually been crushing it. You still overpredict sometimes and it still costs you games, but you're crushing it now and doing an above average job and I'm actually proud of you. You've beaten Joey the past 3 times you battled him and nobody else has the honor of saying that. But in the times you throw games, I have never once left a toxic comment on your videos before because I have empathy and understand that we all make mistakes. I've been playing smogon and vgc for 13 years and I still make mistakes. It happens, I understand. And the people who leave toxic comments have obviously never battled at a competitive level. Don't take them too seriously. You keep doing you. Don't let the haters get you down. They've never touched grass.
Wait did you delete the negative comments in the last vid? There’s legit maybe 1 or 2 negative comments that just said you threw. The rest are overwhelmingly positive
hope those ppl can stfu up now and gl to future matches nexus
Sorry you get so much hate man. Honestly you’re the only draft league player I watch and even though you don’t always have the best of results I still enjoy watching your matches every week, keep doing your thing!
Im sad you got a lot of hate for this misplay. As a fan I just want you to win so seeing you lose is upsetting, but not an excuse to be mean to you. We know you are a goat!
I don’t know why people keep hating on you big dawg, keep doing you
Keyboard warriors have this massive ego for no no reason. I bet they watch sports a see some someone miss a play up and they go "I could do better". Yeah right. People dont realize the work and effort that goes into getting these out weekly not to mention "the pressure" of playing and knowing thousands of people will be watching this. I also dont think people realize how much harder wifi vs showdown in terms of the limited information you have on your screen. You have to be so much more locked in but while being entertaining for the video. It really is harder then people think and Im sad its 2025 and we still have these know-it-all backseat egotistical people in the comments section.
Oh i thought the hate was to paldea dex draft. Which imo isnt the best meta for sure compared to what we used to have.
I m not surprised tho about the hate you are talking about, it s not like that in most leagues and i played since gen 6. That s a TH-cam thing imo.
Keep going strong, King. You will always have my support. You've been playing for too long and shown me too much greatness not to cheer you on.
So wild, I don’t have the time or energy to make those kinds of comments on a GAME that I enjoy watching FOR FUN like guys if you don’t like it don’t watch
But you keep up the good vibes big goat. You really just gaming and people just coming at your throat.
You’ll always be my favorite content creator since day 1
Never understand the hate, yes I get upset when you lose, but that's only cuz I wanna see my boy succeed! 🤙🏽
