I've never actually clicked on these vids, but is the guy actually someone who plays/played competitively? Like if he made a video on Regice, would he know that it used to be the best special wall in Gen 3 until Blissey took out its job, or that Scizor was irrelevant around DP but totally changed when Platinum came out? Or is he literally just reading Smogon and making assumptions based on their articles (and not even forums for current meta discussion)?

Apparently he actually talks to competitive players who played back then. So even if he doesn't know first hand, his information should be fairly accurate.
The guy who voices the videos is also different from the guy who writes them.

Watched the regice video a few days ago and I'm fairly sure he mentions that a few times thorough the video.
His most interesting video by far was the one on Golduck, since it's a lesser known "essential pokemon" and he explains high-level meta trends very well

Cool, I'll give him props for being thorough. Sounds like it'd be good for players new to competitive to watch, because I think understanding the theory behind how the meta shifts is important, and having the knowledge of trends throughout 3 or more gens would be really helpful for that.

Except some fights are literally just grinding and hoping that you get a gen 1 miss. I'm pretty sure there was an early game npc who he just kept resetting on until he got 0 damage. Really it's no different than grinding levels (which I'm pretty sure he did regardless).

Not the same anon, but you are definitely watching pokemon related content, otherwise yt has no way of knowing you are interested on it. Click "not interested", then click "I don't like this channel". It's usually the same 5-6 garbage channels who get recommended over and over, so once you adjust your recommendations they will stop appearing. I know it works cause I stopped getting these shitty "can you beat" videos several months ago after getting them spammed on my recommendations like crazy

I'd actually watch comparison videos if they had shit like 3 different tiers of pokemon soloing the game, death counter included.

But because that'd take too long no one would do it besides people who only make videos because of passion and whatnot but that doesn't exist anymore.

I don't like this dude because he started with videos about Pokemon that were considered competitively viable and the "how good were they ACTUALLY" was a challenge against that to see if they really were as good as people thought.
But then they started doing that even with mons nobody ever gave a shit about competitively so the title makes no sense. "Was ____ UNDERRATED COMPETITIVELY?" would work so much better. But nooo can't change the brand that got you clicks before! The fact they still use that shows they sold out.

These videos became very boring to me very fast but stuff like what Jrose does is more intriguing. Stuff like 'minimum battles' and 'can only use one NFE Pokemon the entire game' turns it from like a mildly difficult challenge run into something you'd have to put actual serious thought into conquering which makes it more interesting to see how they managed to do it.

the issue is that people use mons with no moves so there’s no room for strategy. If people used, say, Delibird, who has a shit level up movepool but gets plenty of moves through tms and tutoring, that would make for an interesting video. Especially with tutor moves and that would require shard/heart scale management.

Probably Smash Ultimate. When you think of "smash content creator" it's pretty much either him or a pro-player (most notably ZeRo) that comes to mind and Ultimate is unarguably one of the biggest releases in gaming, so it makes sense that following its release his channel would get a lot more attention

Not him but you kind of just proved anon's point. The entire reason he started making videos was because normies jerk off Charizard as being "le stonkest xD" Gen I starter.

Anyone got that screencap of the Poketuber who came to /vp/ and saud making videos takes a lot of effort, only to get BTFO because he made top 10 lists?

I don't remember, it was a pretty small channel, wasn't really anybody notable. I wish i could link the video because it was funny as fuck, but again, deleted.

His main flaw is that his YouTube Algorithm gag has gotten stale to the point of cringe yet he doesn't retire it. Also his earliest videos were actually unwatchable because he kept plugging his twitter after every second battle instead of once at the start of the video like a normal person.

People enjoyed when Pikasprey did it with Ditto and when JRose11 attempted it with Magikarp mixed with Johnstone's style of giving a summarised play-by-play of the game as a whole. Other Youtubers started to do these challenges, inspiring other Youtubers to do them, inspiring even more other Youtubers to do them etc. Some of them are less shit than others.
