Best announcement duo in Pokémon history
Commentators who actually know the game is the way to go.
For sure.. it's their chemistry as long time friends that really seals it! ❤️✨
It's what the games all about!
Next to money! 😆 Lol
omg it's actually nice to see wolfe talk like a serious player instead of baby talk
@@duckymomo7935dude what?
They made the match more hype... Man the double protect was clutch tho
Aaron and Wolfe losing their minds over the nuke button known as Miraidon was the most hype commentating ever lol
"Do you ever just Tailwind and --"
"-DISCHARGE?"
"-DISCHARGE!"
"YEAHHH DUDE!"
Ahhhh this duo is amazing.
"All other Pokemon in the battlefield accepts Miraidon's Discharge"
5:46
I love the last part.
"Electric terrain boosted, hardon engine boosted, tera electric boosted, choice spec boosted, Discharge!"
SAME LMAO
I often put a comma between "choice specs" and "boosted" because the way he said was paused in a hilarious way lol
Aaron and Wolfe’s energy is contagious, hope we get to see them casting more often lol
Jesus aaron and Wolfe.
Legendary duo for commentating. Their excitement and passion for the game as well as their knowledge is so infectious. Loved every minute of it
K how many people click on this video to listen to Wolfe and Aaron 's commentary
I was extremely pleasantly surprised by this ❤
Clicked because I wanted to see restricted pokemons
Laughed my ass off whenever Wolfey had to praise Incineroar 😂
I did, my brother told me, that it would be more interesting than MSI going on right now. (League of legends esports)
He was not wrong, wolfey and Aaron make an amazing caster couple.
You can notice that a lot of the choices from Pokémon players make a lot of sense.
Moba game pros often have no idea how to evaluate what is good and what isn’t. By that I mean character, items and runes, but also nieche strategies.
With a lot of other genres, people know things down to frames, team comp types counter others, actual math of how things deal interact with each other.
I run math on league on a regular and I am very often in disbelief and quite honestly, sadness, when I see that pros don’t even know the basic math of itembuilds.
To give an example of what I mean, there is 2 items, with basically the exact same type of stats they give, one is made for killing tanky targets, the other was designed to kill squishier targets.
Turns out if you run the math the tank killing item, deal about the same damage to squishies as the squishy killing item, while dealing about 30% more to tanks, for basically the cost of nothing, but you knowing and choosing the right item.
Yet pros in the game, kept playing the item, that dealt less damage to tanks, despite it even starting to deal less to squishies in the later stages of the game.
I think that example is one of the biggest in the Szene, but there is a lot more subtle once.
Anyways to stop my ramble, it’s really refreshing to have both casters and players, actually knowing what they are doing and not just blindly copying the masses, without knowing the why, of why you would do things.
Undoubtedly epic commentary
But I would’ve watched this anyway
Can't lie I was routing for Zheng.. But man oh man is Rajan a competitor! Rajans put in so much work over the years you can't deny he deserves it! Great performance from both.
29:44 I just noticed while watching this that there was no text that said Whimsicott hung on with its focus sash, so it was somehow able to naturally survive the Tera starstorm. Just a neat detail :0
You mean focus slash 😅
Two world caliber players just enjoying Pokémon in the commentator booth. I love this so much!
Wolfe's so good on commentary, he & Aaron play off each other so well what a pairing
Bruh you guys NEED to keep people like this commentating i had SO much fun listening to these 2 good friends enjoy this tourney. Legit so hype.
The Miriadon everyone scoffed at. Gg’s Rajan and to everyone who competed at the regionals!
Battle - A+
Commentary - A+ Plus
TPC, the chemistry these two dudes have is Undeniable. Aaron and Wolfe are fantastic commentators together. They bounce off each other well and are both exceptionally knowledgeable.
The day my boy Miraidon took back his well deserved respect after so many doubted him.
Wolfe announcing is great
he doesn't need his ego stroked any more bro
@@Espeo u just mad you'll never be as good as the world champ
@@scott--1629 lmao he only won it once and that was in 2016, he isn't world champ anymore bro
@@Espeo still one of the best players in the world rn, as well as the best pokemon vgc youtuber. sounds like u just don't have the world champ difference.
@@scott--1629 probably cuz he's been proven to be a cheater but y'know, stroke his ego some more why don't ya
Rajan is an amazing player I can’t believe I’d never seen him play before this tournament
Aaron and Wolfey have such great chemistry! my favourite commentary duo for sure
Wolfe and Aaron need to do more commentary, great analysis and charisma
wolfe and aaron commentating forever please.
I watched this live and it was so hype. Love these two.
5:46
one brain cells moment
love this part
Congrats to both!
Raj and Wolfe have pulled off some of the Best battles I've ever seen to win these tournaments.. the chat was going wild on twitch! Awesome! 😆✨
Dude I know!!! I saw it live and I was going insane lol.
Jesus wolfe and aaron talk soooooo fast
I'm a big fan of Wolfe and Aaron, and their energy together was awesome. On the other hand, when casting in duo format imo you gotta balance the passion with that little bit of extra space and give some openings so that the casters can settle into a more comfortable pace too.
In any case great game and a hype cast! Gotta love where the comp scene is at as a fan.
@@lilpigboy I disagree. I think these two were perfect. So much better than the other casters. This is what I call commentary .
Amazing matches, and amazing commentary!
these guys are fun to listen to cast.
I literally came here because the Commentary was perfect, the energy was fantastic, and the match was epic!
2 best buds being the 2 best commentators. That’s the world champ difference baybeeee!
Holy sh*t wolfey's brain is on overdrive 😂
This match was amazing i cant wait for the next regional.
The only thing I want to see besides these two commentating the world finals this year, would be these two IN the world finals.
What a great battle!!
he lowkey did not need the doublr protect but still insane he got it lmao, GGs
Holy shit what a game
Rajan's team looks so fun to play.
YOOOOOOOOOOO CONGRATS RAJAN!!!! You got it!!!!!!
Aron & Wolfy the best commenter duo we can have today.
So much energy passion I ❤️ so much.
They compliment each other very good .
5:46 This Duo is such a joy 😂
the double protect!
Guess it's time for Raichu to rejoin the meta for lightningrod support?
Draco meteor just hit as hard as electro drift after including terrain
Raichu gets two shot by literally anything. I think ting lu would be the best counter
Also... discharge will still hit raichus partner. But idk raichu + ogre might still make for a strong core.
Is protecting Whimsicott in the second last turn a misplay or does it cover for other options?
the hosts say why
did u listen to the commentary at all?
Yes its a misplay. Because when a spread move hits multiple target, the damage is reduced to 75%*base power.
Wolfey and Aaron wants the whimsicott to go down so the Terrapagos gets 100% of the damage of the discharge.
But the Other play Rajan is playing, is for double protect then Moonblast after Miraidon goes down which is viable as well but not needed since he is able to KO using a reduced Discharge.
@@erwindavid2859 yea technically a misplay but whimsicott being on the field didnt reduce the damage that much at all, it was still gonna kill terapagos
I'm not sure why, but I have sneaking suspicion that Wolfe and Aaron were enjoying themselves.
Miraidon is the best legenadry right now!!😊
This match was more of learning how wolfeys mind works!!
Is Andrew Zheng related to Aaron Zheng?
I only clicked because of the commentary from Wolfe and Aaron 🤷
as soon as I saw Zhengs team I was like “welp, we want Rajan to win obv.”
WE LOVE WATCHING THAT TURTLE GET DUNKED ON
Make an example out of Tera electric, air balloon shedinja in the anime.
Miraidon one shots the meta!
I kinda feel bad for players. More than a half of comments are about Aaron and Wolfe commentary instead of the game. xD
😊😊🎉🎉
Why did I think this was Cybertron lol
It is
First! Go Rajan.
if only andrew use double protect...
Liberal usage of electric moves, especially the move "Discharge" made me laugh a lot, as I am reminded of the Thunderbolt (Lightning gun) from the first Quake game released by Id Software in the late 1990s - specifically, using the weapon in PvP and the notification messages that pop up as a result.
Every time Miraidon enters the battlefield: "Miraidon discharged into the battlefield, electrifying it"
Round 1: Miraidon Electric Terrain boosted Volt Switch knocks out Terapagos: "Miraidon rode Terapagos out of the battlefield. Terapagos was finished before Miraidon could get started." - Miraidon, proving that simply getting in and out of the battlefield can be lethal.
Round 2: Miraidon Electric Terrain boosted Electro Drift knocks out Amoongus: "Amoongus was slammed by Miraidon's Electro Drift. Amoongus expired before Miraidon." - Medicinal Mushrooms are impotent against extreme electro shock therapy.
Round 2: Miraidon Electric Terrain boosted Electro Drift hits Flutter Mane using Protect "Miraidon's Electro Drift attempts to slam Flutter Mane. Flutter Mane remembered to wear Protection." - Protect is invaluable in VGC Remember to wear Protection at the right time, and follow the Safe Usage directions!
Round 2: Miraidon's trainer forfeits due to insufficient resources: "Miraidon throws in the towel and needs a cold shower upon seeing a healthy Terapagos" - Miraidon cannot have the last laugh and will finish first if it has no one to swap with.
Round 3 Turn 1: Miraidon Electric Terrain boosted Volt Switch knocks out Terapagos: "Tornadus accepts Miraidon's STAB Volt Switch shafting. Tornadus cannot exist in such conditions" - Miraidon, AGAIN proving that simply getting in and out of the battlefield can be lethal. Doubly so due to the 2x Weakness.
Round 3 Turn 2: Miraidon Electric Terrain boosted Discharge knocks out Flutter Mane and Amoongus: " Miraidon Discharges extremely hard into the battlefield. Flutter Mane and Amoongus had a share of Miraidon's Discharge. Whimsicott remembers to wear Protection" - Miraidon's Electric Terrain boosted Discharge is a Weapon of Indiscriminate Mass Destruction. Only ground types and those wearing Protection properly will survive.
Round 3 Turn 3: Miraidon Electric Terrain boosted Discharge knocks out Terapagos: " Miraidon Discharges extremely hard into the battlefield. Terapagos accepts Discharge. Whimsicott existing Protection somehow continues to work" - As above. Miraidon's stacked boosted Discharge is still an indiscriminate WMD.
Extra: Whimsicott broke the safety guidelines on wearing the same Protection for consecutive strenuous activity without taking the time to change out (Successful back to back Protect). and somehow survives the Orgy of electrical destruction by the skin of its teeth, being the only partner to dance with Miraidon without expiring from exhaustion.
Random curiosity of the day
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera Electric Miraidon Discharge vs. 20 HP / 0 SpD Terapagos-Stellar in Electric Terrain *(186 HP remaining):* 170-200 (72.3 - 85.1%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
(with Doubles settings)
I LOVE MIN MAX ROLLS 🎉 (memes lmao)
Rajan's Miraidon was Modest
@@xenonex1608oh
Uh
Nevermind!
Edit: its still a roll but 93.75% in Rajan's favor (only the very absolute minimum roll fails to KO) so forget I existed here lmao
Rajan Bal es TuberViejuner??
3 grass types in finals, again😮
Terrapagos ending up being kind of underwhelming - are the ground types that bad in this meta that nobody's running them?
Ground types aren't bad, But Rillaboom, Calyrex Ice and Kyorge are legit deterrents.
Sure you can bring teammates to deal with them, but if you are running a counter for one restricted, it's a counter that you aren't running for another.
terapagos isn't underwhelming tbh
and miraidon isn't expected to be one of the best that's why no one bring a pokemon that counter it except rillaboom
Why Terrapagos is underwhelming if it won 2nd place and lots of places in top 32?
We don't have Pokemon Tournaments in Mexico 🙄🙄
Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
Is Andrew Arron’s brother?
That what I wanted to find out as well
He isn't. They just have the same last name. His actual brother is named Brendan.
@@quaxlyquixote4003what a coincidence hahaha
I knew Arron had a brother just didn’t know the name
@tucoalvares3899 Yeah I'm pretty sure Zheng is a really common last name as well.
Casters take notes.
Dude OMG yes. Rosemary suck so bad. I can't stand to listen to her squeal in the background.
Zengh should have protected his 2 poke at the end so tearapagos could be safe in the back he deserves the lost Aaron will always b the best of the 2 brothers
So he misplayed and won because pokemon is fundamentally an RNG game. Very competitive
Also 10000th incen team. What a non-stale meta
He didnt misplay. He gambled and won. Youre such a miserable human being
ur saying that like it was a massive blunder. i don't think the whimsicott staying around affected the damage that much. idk why ur so mad at pokemon, maybe u just get cooked too often. whine some more tho, it's hilariously sad to look at
It doesnt affect the damage
Yes, let's ignore the fact that these two teams don't have a SINGLE mon in common and call the game stale.
@@GelyelFish yea let's just ignore all the unique and fun twists on all the mons we saw throughout this entire tournament
