Finally got a new TV after 10 years of stoic service from the old one and used it as a chance to redesign the whole corner of the living room. Will the handhelds survive this new setup though?
You can't rely on YouTube to surface videos from creators you're subscribed to so I've started a Patreon page: patreon.com/intentionaltech
Joining the free membership takes the guessing game out of watching every video, which is my main motivation for this. However, I did sneak in a couple of paid tiers in case you want to show some support and help me fund the costs of running this channel.
Thanks to everyone who watches and has helped me reach the recent milestone of 18k subscribers! YouTube can be hard work but it's incredibly rewarding to hear from you in the comments and feel like part of a wider community!

I got to Master Ball tier on Pokémon Champions using this team! Rental code: L67XQJNX27
Loving it so far because I enjoy playing VGC way more than the core Pokémon games themselves. Some thoughts on it so far:
- I’m enjoying the stripped back meta and item selection, I was getting bored of the same old restricted / paradox Pokémon in every battle - It’s a very weather-heavy meta, unless you have a specific strategy you absolutely need a weather setter - Sneasler feels like a must-have Pokémon on every team
I can understand why people may be disappointed if they were expecting something like Pokémon Stadium but as a VGC platform it’s taken away all of the grind and opened up team building exactly as I’d hoped. If it can truly establish itself, then maybe GameFreak can be more creative with the battle format in Winds and Waves, which could actually please the more casual fans who have found Champions jarring.
I’m not into the amount of bots I had to face early on in the game but appreciate it helps newcomers learn the ropes. The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly in the higher tiers when you face more actual players. VGC is not for the faint hearted but if you stick with it, you’ll gain a much deeper appreciation for how complex the game actually is.

Maybe it's time to just get a Switch 2?

Next video will be about the Switch 2!
