A huge thank you to Sejun for looking over the script and providing insight for this! Check him out on:

Always wondered why Hitmomtop had intimidate, is like “he’s just spinning there, menacingly!

[TheHermano]

I remember just being a normal pokefan without an idea of competitive, and the whole hype made me just watch the entire match. I didn´t understand a lot of the plays or strategy, but oh boy, that pachirisu did take a Fu***g Draco Meteor from a Salamance, I was hyped

[marcusblixenkrone-mller]

I think the main reason people love the Pachirisu so much, is less because of the "use your favourites" thing, but more so because it's nice to see non standard teams and good meta pick calls.

[Xanderqwerty]

I think its more impressive that he found a "weak" pokemon that fills an incredibly specific niche as opposed to him picking a weak pokemon and still winning. Shows a ton of game knowledge and a deep understanding of the metagame, as opposed to battle skill.

how did a small squirrel beat a bunch of monsters, dragons and a possessed lawnmower

[blunk]

I went to school with jeudy, he was the best smash player at our college. There was legit a rule in the game room you couldnt ask about this match cause it'd upset him

"no exclusive tournaments, no parades, no merch, no overcrowding concerns :("
I'll throw a parade for you Mr. Wolfe Glick 2016 World Champion. I'll hold it in my bathroom where 1 person counts as overcrowding too

The name Amoonguss just hits different after finding impostors lol

[jeziahfrancis]

I remember playing showdown at the time and literally EVERYONE was trying to copy sejun

[slimballs]

I love how Pachirisu's Smogon page for XY not only obsesses over how cute it is, but also references this very victory and even recommends sets similar to that of Se Jun Park's Pachirisu.

[farfetchdthegamer]

Sejun’s strategy was actually great. He knew that once ttar was helpless, Talonflame and Garchomp could rip apart the opposition. So he used a small squirrel to reduce big scary monsters to complete helplessness, and then let his pet eagle and shark loose.

I think that’s wonderful.

Cybertron jumping in the crowd is adorable

[wesleypatterson]

Mega Kangaskhan: "You took everything from me"
Pachirisu: "I dont even know who you are"

[Aaron-thxx]

Lol you can hear Wolfe resisting the urge to mispronounce the Pokémon names

[BomberBlair]

OG’s remember the first video about this

[GG-xgbe]

The last time I was this early, tailwind didn’t take effect until the next turn

[Lockirby]

There will be overcrowding concerns when Wolfey wins Worlds with Celebrate Vaporeon.

*Dragon uses Draco Meteor*
Pachirisu: Weak sauce man *proceeds to lick tail*

Something really awful about this event was how many people, in seeing Sejun as the underdog, suddenly decided Jeudy was some evil person who represented the bad side of competitive Pokemon. People psychoanalysed him and spoke about him like some evil movie rival and not just a guy who plays Pokemon. They also conveniently ignored that if anything, Jeudy was the underdog with less wins than Sejun but that wouldn't make the narrative as compelling I guess. It felt outright racist at points with how much slander and abuse Jeudy got and I genuinly feel bad that he was cast as the "villain" in the public's eye for not using an unusual Pokemon :/
