I’d love a video on the Official Pokemon Formats Before VGC. The Cup Formats(Nintendo Cup 97-99, PokeCup, Stadium Cups), Battle Tower rules and Colosseum stuff in Gen 3. It’s interesting to know, these are badly underrepped in the west, could use new players looking to try something different, and also they really help put Gamefreaks choices into perspective. Leaks confirm Snorlax being buffed in Gen 2 was intentional and not just GF being a dumb brain or not thinking of competitive. Snorlax was just kinda bad in the Gen 1 formats. Him being super slow meant he couldn’t use OHKO and everyone could use it on him, it also meant he couldn’t blitz down Evasion users. Pick 3 means stall builds are worse in general and most people went for Chansey. It actually got slightly better after Yellow and the Western games nerfed Blizzard, the 98 Cup was smoother, but still. It just so happens Smogon’s bans of OHKO and Evasion plus allowing 6v6 really benefited Snorlax and so Gamefreak trying to make him good in their metagame made him absurdly broken in OU.

Something I recently learned is that the Blizzard Nerf originated in Japanese Yellow before English RBY. It was only in the 2 player mode as it was pretty last minute in response to Nintendo Cup, but still. I point this out because the moveset changes in Yellow are also allowed, so Smogon effectively uses Version 2 patch, based on Japanese yellow(Blizzard nerf, a few extra moves here and there). As apposed to Version 3 which would be Stadium Mechanics or Version 1 which would be RGB Japan without the moveset editions and the unnerfed blizzard. (Tradebacks would be Version 2B+ or something since I think Stadium doesn't consider them legit, but the main games do)

Your playthrough is what pushed me other the edge to pick up my own copy of the game that I've been playing for the past 7 months. I've abandoned all my other ds/3ds games. I can't stop. Help

I usually keep all my stream related announcements to the second channel but I wanted to quickly mention that tomorrow, Oct 19th at around 2pm BST I'll finally be streaming the first part of Tomodachi Life Season 3! Season 2 concluded over a year ago, so I think it's well due for a comeback.
I know the people who do like the Tomodachi streams REALLY like them, so I figured it'd be worth mentioning here. I only stream on Twitch at BigYellowYT but the VOD will be on my second channel if that suits you more, like Season 1 and 2 these streams will get their own supercut eventually, but that'll be pretty far down the line since I still gotta finish the one for my Pokémon Red Randomizer!
