Pokemon bots are all anyone is talking about in the last week. Fun fact: I studied chess bots as part of my CS PhD program. So in today's video, I explain the details of these bots work and how I expect them to change VGC moving forward. The link is below! Check it out 👇👇

In 2012 we organized tournaments where people propped phones up to stream their DS screens to Ustream while I sat in a mumble call with these two to restream to Twitch asking them to F5 because we were unsynced. Sunday, we broadcast from the Chase Center closed out by Ed Sheeran.

With Pokémon Bank Shutting down in February, we have been preparing a global team of volunteers to help rescue everyone’s Pokémon!
If you have Pokémon that you need help moving to Pokémon HOME, or you want to help us with our mission visit pokemonrescue.com
There are already 100+ volunteers on board so I think we have a very good chance of actually Saving ‘em all! 🧡🤍

This was fixed in the latest patch! It's possible to hit the minimum damage roll again now, like in past games.

I grinded this out with @NailsOU and we came to the same conclusion. After 160 tests, we never hit the minimum damage roll once. Based on this testing, I feel confident saying only 15 damage rolls exist in Champions.

チャンピオンズのダメージ計算を軽く検証してみた結果、計算式はSVの時と変わってなさそうでした。…ただ乱数幅が0.86～1.00の15段階になっている疑惑が浮上。

There's a softlock in Pokemon Champions! If Competitive attempts to activate while fainted (e.g. from Icy Wind vs Mirror Armor + Destiny Bond), the next time an Ability would announce itself, the game will softlock; both players cannot choose actions and animations stop.

This combined with the rule change that strongly encourage locals to be at card shops is worrying. Been to too many shops with bad wifi. Wouldn’t be shocked to see low player caps at some locals to account for this.
Colleges and libraries? Doubt they’d have these issues.

Pokemon invited me to an exclusive 1-hour demo of Pokemon Champions last week at their HQ last week.
I broke down my thoughts and overall experience of the demo in a new video on my channel, linked below!
