False Swipe Gaming, this is the third time you've brought Scizor into class!

[flallana]

Having a sequel rather than a remake is a nice idea

[Mewseeker]

"He's got Terastallization!"
"You idiots. We've all got Terastallization!"

[EdmacZ]

"Hey Scizor! How come you get a SEQUEL?"

"Competitive Nanomachines, son"

[SDSwampert]

Tyranitar waiting for his remake watching Scizor get a third solo video and a theorem named after him: 👁️👁️

[Raph___A]

With Gallade now having Sharpness, as well as a Paradox form, I'd like to see "How GOOD are Gallade and Iron Valiant Now ACTUALLY" sometime in the near future

[drxavier]

With Mega Scisor likely returning in Legends Z, its gonna have Close Combat and Dual Wingbeat wich is gonna be terrifying

The Last of Scizor Remake Remastered Part 1

[jaydrawer]

I actually like this, giving extra fleshed out "where are they now" esk segments. Especially considering the removal and rework of moves and abilities that's been going on starting in gen 8

[xXDrkxRvnXx]

I would love a " How X is doing NOW" about my favorite pseudo legendary Metagross

[SkydrawnIV]

I remember Ken Sugimori said he tries to not make Pokemon 'too cool'.
He threw that rule out the window when it came to Scizor.

[ThePokemonKage]

The first of many Pokemon to get a Competitive History Threequel

[nbr]

The most surprising thing about this upload is realising the remake dropped almost 4 years ago

[Magic_Ice]

I can’t wait for Lance’s 3rd Dragonite in the next video

[thel-iteralone]

Bug/Steel is such an outstanding type combo, it's not even funny. Turns out pairing Steel with the nature based typings like with Bug and Grass works wonders.

[TheRealMichelozzo]

I do like these little 'update' videos. Means we don't need to sit through a feature length film for an older mon, but still can get stuff about said older mons without repeating too much.

[SpacemanSpiff]

One of the GOATs. Bullet Punch forever iconic.

[DrNotEmpathetic]

A video about Scizor is always special for me. Scizor was my favorite all the way back to Pokemon Silver and I even use randomizers now to have Scizor as my starter in games.

[Meddadius]

Blaziken seeing the other Hoenn starters get videos these past few weeks: "My remake is coming real soon, I can feel it!"

Scizor is such an awesome beast. In the anime and game, you're garuntteed some street cred with one. The only bad part is you need to trade for it.
