>flutter mane chi yu lead
Home...

cool background

Refresher.

idk who to root for guys

>>58129384
>That belly fat and fupa fat
SEXOOOOOOOO

NO ANNOUNCEMENTS
THERE WILL BE NO ANNOUNCEMENTS

Were the announcers just trying to dance around the word "EVs"? Why? GameFreak has acknowledged IVs and EVs for a while now. Kept referring to it as "a Pokemon's training."

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

Chi Yu is basically KO'd already.

Will Wolf be able to cope? Its been 9 years since he last won a World.

Proof of verlisify not understanding the difference between James Evans and Jonathan Evans but still trying to slander him. He must be tired from his extra shifts spinning signs now

is that Gen 9 music? lol

where is rosemary?

>>58129368 (OP)
you forgot the UNITE winners

This fuckass music

Looks like we're getting a shiny Oonga Boongus mystery gift distribution next year

this shit is so cringe

KORAIDON GODS, WE'VE BTFO'D WOLFESTEIN AND WE'RE GONNA BE WORLD CHAMPS, IT FEELS FUCKING GOOD!

>>58129417
They did the dynamic Gym Leader music from Gen 8 again, but forgot to make it work properly for Link Battles

CHI YU SENTO FUNO

>>58129417
gen 8* ?

semen slurping "game"

>>58129428
love the passion

Man, that must suck, losing because you opponent's sleep wore off faster than yours.

I’m tired of this battle theme

comp poke will always be a joke until sleep is reworked

>captcha: OP P2P

The Jap announcers just have this beautiful energy with the way they talk, hearing them go fucking bananas when Koraidon comes online or Tera is used gives me life.

Sick read.

>>58129435
The Gym theme was timed better in SwSh.

Nice play

KORAIDON BROS HANG OOOOOOOON!!!

>use certain move once
>automatically win

>>58129436
should have brought the better bike if sleep bothers you so much

uhm

why are the people in the back barely moving

>>58129450
>Better bike
>Is nowhere to be seen in Grand Finals

>Back to back read
Yeah its gg

Giovanni is playing like a retard

INSANE READ BY JAMES HOLY SHIT

Fucking genius Caly switch

>>58129443
How do they react to spore

Switch 2 really does make a hell of a difference. I remember watching this last year and that shit was chugging and barely holding together.

This James fellow seems to be reading this well

This is nothing, Gio still has the upper hand

This is boring and cringe I hope it never happens again

>>58129469
did you see the tent pop in earlier? lol

This James is smart. He looks at Giovanni and see's him tap which attack. Kek

LA LA LALA LA LA LALALA

>Commentators practically calling you a retard
Lol

BRUTE BONNET SENTO FUNO

KORAIDON BROS WE'VE WON!!!

The Japanese commentators are ripping into Giovanni lmfao

THE WINGED KING WILL SOON BECOME THE WORLD'S TRUE CHAMPION!!!

ANOTHER PERFECT READ BY JAMES

James is playing out of his mind

ok but how does James deal with Flutter Mane now?

KORAIDON SENTO FUNO

james what the fuck you had game in lock why were you doing hard plays

i’m not gonna lie folks.. I like Wolfe’s antics like when he looks at the camera and plays into that persona

>>58129496
is this 10 second loop going to be the theme for the entire set kek

Another VGC another INC superior masterplay

>>58129497
The loop is killing me.

GAOGAEN SENTO FUNO
James fucked up. It's over.

Wolfe out?

That turn around.

LMAOOOOOO ALL THOSE PLAYS FOR FUCKING NOTHING

James is playing great but Giovanni was in a dominant position the whole game. He was keeping himself in the game but he wasn't getting an advantage.

>>58129501
He is a regional merchant and a youtube bum. Get this fraud out of the world stage

GIO JUST FUCKED HIM

I knew Giovanni had this. Fuck horsefags lol.

James bros got too cocky.

>>58129490
japsissies need to apologize

Holy fucking CHOKE
What the FUCK was he even trying to do?

>>58129490
Lol dumb japs

I NEVER DOUBTED GIOVANNI
I doubted him a little

What a rape

>incineroar

for this reason I am rooting for gio

>>58129525
I knew he had it won when he chose the third option and switched out Koraidon.

wtf just happened? Is this what they call Green FN?

If Gio wins this next game Ursaluna will become a World Champion and the first Hisuian mon to do so.

THAT'S WHY GIOVANNI IS THE BOSS
AND JAMES IS A GRUNT

>be in worlds finals
>get lucky with 3 turn sleep from turn 1
>throw

>>58129515
What does merchant means in slander?

>>58129532
finals are only best of 3?

>>58129528
>gay horse
>gay cat
if you're siding with James you're evil plain and simple

>>58129532
lol that would be based, also why can’t they use the blood moon one?

KEK JAMES IS CRYING ITS THE SAME FACE AS THE NIP AND GOOK KIDS HAD.

ITS OVER HE IS MENTALLY BROKEN

James learning why Giovanni is the boss while he’s just a grunt

>Name is Giovanni
>No Rhydon

Any bets on what bs verlisify is gonna scramble for if gio wins to justify why he's bad

I miss the genies of the healthy meta...

JAMESKEKS BTFOO

>>58129541
He has nice hair and good vibes, simple as.

APOLOGISE RIGHT NOW

>>58129543
KEKAROOO

>>58129551
but Landorus is there....

>>58129542
opposing Lunala

chad

>>58129542
They can, but I guess they wanted the guts damage + a physical attacker with spread

these transition animations are really cool, it's nice seeing them level up the production value

BRUTE BONNET SENTO FUNO

>>58129368 (OP)
First time I'm watching World Championships, is singles after this? Pokemon Doubles is pretty cringe

>>58129548
Verlisify is friends with Gio. Gio used to be in the furry community

>>58129558
>gets benched for Fluttermane

Rip james

>Getting the Bonnet KO first turn

It's over for James.

>>58129562
idk what that means anon

I AM BEGGING YOU NOT TO PLAY THE GYM LEADER MUSIC

HAHAHAHA IT'S FUCKING OVER FOR JAMES

>>58129563
I must say

Of all nerd hobbies/e-sport things, Pokémon players in all the competitions I've watched look pretty great

do they have people in the backstage putting makeup and shit on them?

I wish pokemon battles were announced wwe style
Would make shit kino

They should have played the Kieran theme in the finals

>>58129568
anon...singles is....

>James is actually picking the gym leader music
Alright I want him to lose now

It's over.

>>58129542
Bloodmoon is perfectly legal, but ironically enough it's less consistent than base Ursaluna because it's signature move+ Earth Pwer coming off of Life Orb is still consistently outdamanged by Guts Headlong Rush and boosted Facades on top of Life Orb recoil being harsher than eating Burn damage from Flame Orb

IT'S BONNOVER
CHI YU ISN'T CHOICED ANYMORE

>>58129584
I don't get why they stopped playing Blue's theme this Gen.

THE CHAD GIOVANNI
THE VIRGIN JAMES

lmfao are they allowed to say "ballsy"?

>>58129584
based

>tfw gen1 gym leader music would actually work
itd show their hand too soon thougheverbeit

>>58129582
Watch JP stream then.

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

Issue with VGC is that its all reads/predictions. The moment you take a risk, no understands why you did it and all spectators think you’re retarded.

>the Great Friend
>the Gourmet

was is this awful shit in pokemon, can you disable it?

i like the gen 8 music… lol

LAAAAAA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

CHI YU SENTO FUNO

I JUST
>>58129596
Most people probably don't consider it sexual like sayings such as "that sucks"

Press S to spit on James

check just cleared. James come back is happening m

>>58129606
It's from ribbons/marks. I forgot if it was this gen or swsh but you can pick one to give a title to your mon now.

>>58129613
*I JUST GOT THE 0IV SPEED CALYREX

>>58129606
do u even play bro?

>>58129606
They're dependent on your Ribbons, and you can toggle them on and off

>>58129605
If it pays off you basically look like a God however

>>58129606
You can just not equip the mark/ribbon.

James unironically is choked by Flutter mane.

Did Giovanni just waste a turn attacking Koraidon despite the sleeping horse?

I'm fucking Nemona while everyones distracted by this battle

>>58129629
Koraidon is faster and fire type now at least

>Same mons as last time
Should have used the Bear

LMAOOOOOOOO

>>58129606
Hey gaylord, some people actually use the cosmetic features in the games and aren't just salty edgy bitches, it comes with ACTUALLY playing the game

THIS FUCKING SHROOM IS WINNING AND IT'S PUTTING EVERYTHING TO SLEEP, AND BASICALLY, YOU'RE STUPID!

I miss the old Vs World Champion songs they used to throw into the games. Made it a lot more hype to get some custom music for this one battle.

GIO THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION

he deserves to lose for this track choice alone

WHAT THE FUCK IS GIOVANNI DOING.

Sucker Punch Close Combat GG

SLEEPSPAM NICE GAME

> double sleep
Yikes

>VGC is full of RNG
>TCG is real life RNG
>getting viable mons in Go is like getting good IVs in gen 3-4
Is Unite the only purely skill based at Worlds?

FUNKY FUNGUS SLOPS YOUR CHUNGUS

Maybe he shouldn't have went to dinner with his opponent

there's literally no way for James to win

Just scoop

JESUS CHRIST JAMES KEEPS GETTING THE WAKES UP

>>58129657
Yes that's why people fear unite GODS

why does no one double the spore users? lol

James could still win. But Giovanni has to misplay.

Honestly, James fucked up by bringing Calyrex, I think.
It's really bad into Giovanni's whole team sans Lunala.

>>58129657
It's a RPG game, dude
Get over yourself

>He didn't double protect on the Incin switch in

Giovanni is throwing.

WHY
ARE YOU
NOT
TARGETING
THE SHROOM

HABATAKUKAMI SENTO FUNO

>>58129668
It could backfire massively if they protect and hand their partner an opportunity to do whatever they want.

I'm rooting for Gio but I really hope sleep is changed in gen 10

>>58129677
"Urm, it's called strategizing"

>>58129674
Yeah, CC and Sucker Punch into the Calyrex slot was the overall best move.

Simply equip a Chesto Berry.

All 3 of these 'mons have the same idle

There was more hype during 2024s world championship...

KORAIDON SENTO FUNO
IT'S OVER
GIO WINS
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS KILL THE FUCKING ARABURUTAKE JAMES

IT'S OVER
IT'S OVER
IT'S OVER

>>58129690
Reg I is just kinda ass

Sucker Punch Flame Charge is GG unless Double Protect succeeds.

How the fuck is Giovanni winning this?

How many Worlds have been decided by sleep bullshit at this point? That shit needs to be reworked if a faggot can misplay constantly and still will by clicking spore every other turn.

PUT THE CAT DOWN

why did he double protect

>>58129690
Miraidon is more hype simple as

that should be game, gio wins

Sleepy Joe Cineroar

>>58129705
Ultimate desperation move.

Incineroar nation meltdown in 3 seconds

WHY IS JAMES STALLING
JUST GIVE UP BRO YOU CAN'T WIN

Just saying... Miraidon sets electric terrain and shuts down sleep...

wake up.....your life...two turn....

ENCORE

GAOGAEN SENTO FUNO
KORAIDON SENTO FUNO
ARABURUTAKE SENTO FUNO
JAMES SOMEHOW TURNED IT AROUND

>>58129707
True

>>58129682
>>58129701
the door is right there, smogtrannies

Lol, I knew James had this when he let his Bonnet get Faked Out on the Incineroar switch in.

what happened
(the last pokemon game i played was black2)

WHY DIDN'T HE CLICK SUCKER PUNCH

Don't sound based moves go around protect? Given how popular protect is why don't we ever see moves or strategies to deny its effectiveness?

holy fucking choke

that encore was clutch

>Giovanni choked and James ended up winning the second round
FUCK.

HOLY FUCK

1v1

Holy shit

James didn't deserve to win this match holy fuck.

What a jackass

JAMES IS A FUCKING GENIUS

Please use different music already

im surprised aaron called this wrong one turn away from the end of the game

GAME 3

why is he drinking piss

LETS GOOOO JAMES FUCK THIS FURRY UP

ENCORE CLUTCH

WHAT A GAME

Is this man drinking piss???

>baaarely won
James is losing no matter what

The floor display is cool

>>58129732
no sound moves go around substitute

>>58129732
you're thinking of substitute, not protect

I TOLD YOU
THE. CHECK. CLEARED.

wHAT THE FUCK IT'S NOT OVER?

>>58129732
Substitute, not Protect.

>james evans drinking piss
uhhhhh

AIEEEEEEE
was that a piss cup

>>58129732
you're thinking substitute
protect is all

>>58129732
Sound moves go around substitute not protect

SO FUCKNG SWEATY

>>58129732
Shut the fuck up
we don't need more Urshifus

Can't tell if that was clutch or just a stupidly absurd choke

WHY DID HE NOT CLICK SUCKER PUNCH?! FUCKING WHY?!

>>58129732
They don't.
You're thinking of Substitute, which is ignored by sound moves.

WHOA

>>58129754
Ah fuck. Okay. Thanks for the correction.

Im so glad it didnt end in sleep shit

HORSECHAD WE JUST MR.HANDED GIO!!!!

>>58129416
embarrassing

>>58129731
HE GOT ENCORED YOU RETARD, JAMES OUTPLAYED THE SPAGHETTI MUNCHER

Verlisify could be on this stage… but he choses not too..

>>58129731
even if he did, he could get stalled out of sucker punch PP. it was checkmate when gio switched koraidon out for flutter instead of taking the KO on incin

>>58129776
WHY DIDN'T HE CLICK IT BEFORE HE GOT ENCORED?

Will they pick different music?

Encore is a fair and balanced move

Did he run out of Sucker Punches? Is that what happened?

>>58129777
He will for champions I feel

>>58129784
Encore, dumbass

SAME FUCKING LEAD

>>58129776
he did not select sucker punch the turn he got encored, otherwise encore wouldn't have been locked into raging powder since sucker punch goes first

>>58129776
sucker punch would have had priority before encore if he had used it

are coaches allowed?

>>58129779
ARE YOU RETARDED??? CALYREX IS FASTER AND ENCORE IS A STATUS MOVE

>>58129777
He's busy choosing to get assfucked by his dog in his filthy low income apartment

Here's how Wolfe can still win!

>>58129670
The gift of prophecy

>>58129786
Before the Encore, dumbass

>>58129769
Because then he just pp stalls out your sucker punch.
Gio was in a really tough position.

Gio played too defensive and threw. He should have just KO'd Incin the turn he switched out his Koraidon.

JUST CLICK SPORE BROOO

>>58129784
Can regigigas become world champion?

ONE LEAD
I DON'T KNOW WHY

>>58129792
Sucker Punch higher priority

>>58129723
Rent-free much? Calm your titties anon. RNG is bad for competitive integrity, no matter what fanfic meta slop thinks. If it were up to me Paralysis would just be the speed cut with no chance to do nothing, PLA's Frostbite would replace Freeze, and Sleep would be a flat 2 turn status like Rest provides that also gets removed upon being hit.

Doing protect + rage power was legit the dumbest shit I have ever seen

>Gym theme in game 3
AHHHHHHH

ARABURUTAKE SENTO FUNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AND JUST LIKE THAT JAMES FUCKING LOSES

>>58129789
>>58129790
You stupid retards INCINEROAR and the ghost horse didnt use an attack move.

>>58129810
JAMES IS CHEATING THE FUCKING GYM LEADER THEME IS DISTRACRING GIO

Thats game

>>58129798
I missed the encore and some Sucker Punch uses due to cooking dinner, FUCK.

STELLAR TERA IN THE FINAL

IT'S GIOVER

James is already down 1 mon and the cat is sleeping. No way for him to recover from this

OH MY GAH

WHATTTTT

GGs wrap it up

Rest in piss kek

>Losing Bonnet in the first turn
It's over for James.

i mean, that dude before the match did say james got no sleep, maybe that was a bad move

>STELLAR TERA AT FINALIES
HOLY FUCKING SOUUUULLL!!!

YAAAAS RNG QUEEN YAAAS

Giovanni respecting Brute Bonnet is the big difference.
I don't know why, but most VGC players just don't seem to respect it or Amoonguss.

>>58129814
Sucker punch still goes through even if it fails, then encore locks him in sucker punc
stupid monkey

ARABURUTAKE SENTO FUNO

Chaka-bum-chaka-bum-bum
(Jinxing James' play)

The lack of electric terrain setters is fucking the meta so badly just give electric terrain ability to more fucking pokemon

Suck on that horsegirls and cat ladies

this track should be classified as a mental torture strategy on the opponent

It's over for Gio

>trying to split threads halfway through the final match

James is trying so hard to throw but Gio won't let him

SLEEPeroar

GIOVANNI GODS, TOTAL ROCKET DOMINANCE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED!!!!

>Calyrex again
kek

Why is hearing the female commentator so excited arouse me so greatly?

Incineroarbros...WE'RE FINISHED

>>58129490
NIPS BETTER SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>58129878
Can't beat the BOSS

>>58129894
Because you're a zoomer with a porn addiction who got neglected by his mother and is desperate for any ounce of female affection.

>>58129920
>girls are yucky
FAGGOT ALERT

>>58129894
"alts" are gross

>>58129944
Nice lack of reading comprehension and deflection, I don't even need to see your face to know you have a receding hairline and eyes sunken into your skull.
Those flabby arms aren't impressing anyone either.

>>58129894
that girl is balding though

>>58130038
