Maybe I'm actually a Pokemon Master? (Pokemon Showdown) 

never thought i'd see the day where egg pogs out in 6v6 singles

Never thought i'd hear NL utter the phrase "I'M CHOICE BANDED!"

A pokemon NL video, perfect. Many people are saying this.

NL sending out the beartic when he has Tapu Koko and then hitting stone edge instead of superpower and finally missing has got me pogged out my mfing mind

Ryan getting speed and special defense mixed up found me.

That Cradily play was literally insane

The urge to backseat game is incredible, but also he's very enthusiastic and having a great time and I love it. He's northernlion, the ultimate big brain, he learns quick.

NL, known jellyfish disliker, seeing a jellyfish: What is this, a lampshade?

I never would have an dreamed of the day where NL will be playing competitive Pokemon, but this is it. What a time to be alive. Thanks for the company.

idk how someone with so little pokemon experience makes so many good calls

NL: "What the heck is bee sharp" Apollo: *robotic scream* "FUCK"

When he said "he's a fire type I don't even need to look this up" and then picked a rock move over earthquake, i really felt that

This is so good, watching him react to every Pokemon past Gen 1 and losing his mind at all these classic moves is incredibly fun. He's not bad at the game either!

Apollo's perfectly cut "THE F-" was amazing. Also the banter between battles made me flash back to younger days, when not all of us had Internet and we were just comparing our Pokemon games, sharing the secret cool legendaries we found with each other. Good times, hope to see more Pokemon in the future

Excited for when NL gets into building teams and figures out how complicated it can all get lol

If you think Ryan kicked butt now, just wait until the training weights come off and he realises that it's actually Ground that Electric is weak to, not Rock. Then you'll all be sorry.

NL has now become part of the agency. Get this man some training with Pokeaim!!

the fight against baer where he got 5 50/50 losses into a 5% chance miss absolutely destroyed my soul

I just watched RT's video on the tournament and was disappointed you two were so far removed in bracket and never got to run into one another. Would've loved to see you two interact, if only briefly. Still really hyped for a little bit of Pokemon content, would be amazing if you attempted a Nuzlocke like Dan is doing. Would be a great banter engine while grinding!

Love that NL is so willing to try out new stuff these days, been loving the content for many years and just so proud of how far we've come- up down to the side welcome to the lion pride

From someone who used to climb the Showdown leaderboards this makes me want to pull my hair out but its so fucking funny to watch. Hope the backseaters don't get to him so we get more pog content

NL finding the power of DD Ttar and Choicef specs dragapult was pretty pog

Please make more of these videos. I loved this so much that I watched it start to finish for the full 1.5 hours. I meant to do other stuff while watching but I was so enthralled by the Egg's Poggy Plays that I couldn't look away.

honestly for someone who has so little Pokémon experience NL does really well, and seeing him get so excited over little things is refreshing since i cannot for the life of me get hype from playing Pokémon battles anymore. absolutely pogged out of my gourd

watching NL play pokemon is like watching a penguin try to fly. he'll be scary next year if he tries though

'do it before the high wears off" if only we got a Nuzlocke, it'd be super interesting to watch that

I think he's genuinely good at this considering he's a complete beginner

ive been subbed to this man for over 10 years and i never thought id see his face on pokemon showdown, there is no variety too various for this man he cannot be stopped

ryans win versus baer was brutal, i can only imagine the seething when ryan wasnt paralyed for that many turns in a row

MOST GOATED CONTENT DIDN'T EVEN WATCH YET ALREADY 10/10 SORRY FOR CAPS I AM INSECURE

Dude this is perfect. I’ve been watching competitive Pokémon since 4th gen and I feel like you getting good + wacky tactics is going to go hard

I cannot believe NL is finally playing the games I play instead of vice versa.

As someone who's been left behind by the Pokemon series, it was refreshing to feel relatively as if I knew everything.

"SLOWBRO GALAR!!??" This made me laugh a bit too hard

Pokemon Showdown is genuinely the loudest sound in the universe. I don't know how they make it so loud, I didn't think I owned audio devices capable of the volume it pumps through them.

Now I understand, this is the feeling of pogging out of your gourd. Never in my life would I have expected NL on Pokemon Showdown. Incredible

Salty opponent: "You realize how lucky you were that your Tyranitar had a Lum berry?" Also salty opponent: hits 2 crits in a row, one of which is a freeze

28:25 "Good luck, I hope you get many good pokemon.. wh- FU--"

Bruh Ryab actually predicting switches already by the end, he is learning

This is my favourite video on your channel. My poggers bucket is overflowing. How Cradily beat Ferrothorn, and getting frozen but eating the lum berry are great highlights.

never thought I'd see this. this is pogged. so glad to see Pokemon showdown content. this is the best Pokemon game hands down in my opinion. after playing showdown, I lost a lot of enjoyment for the regular Pokemon franchise. glad to see you're giving it a shot.

For anyone fairly new to Randbats, here is one thing per battle NL could have improved: 1. Check the moves of his opponents pokemon in battle 1. He would have seen that Kyurem-Black only has Dragon and Ice moves, which are both attacks that are not very effective on Sandslash-Alola. The REALLY big brain play would be to send in Tsareena to bait the Max Hailstorm that would set up the hail, then switch Sandslash in and it will get the Slush Rush speed boost. 2. Recognise that having a pokemon that can resist your opponents attacks can also work as a check. Even if you can't hit them super effectively, hitting them neutrally while resisting their attacks helps too. 3. A common theme is that he sends in his "check" right away and it takes a hit, causing it to no longer function as a check. You absolutely must not let your check to a pokemon take unnecessary damage, and be patient with sending it in. Sometimes this means letting a pokemon get KO'd for a free switch (known as "sacking").

Gotta get the NL x Blunder AGENCY collab one day 🔥

played a lot of competitive pre gen 7 and gotta say NL played well for having little idea what was going on and not too much backseating

The intro to this vod is so good!

My god, we are reaching new levels! He is becoming *master* of all things

Throwing that pog sylveon makes my heart break

"i don't need any flavor text for Pikachu!!!" uses a rock type move instead of a ground type move

I'd love to see more of this!

When he got the kill on Lunala at the last possible moment I was absolutely pogging out of my gourd. That whole last match was sick.

"just make a move, noob" iconic

I'd like more of this, NL is so excited

Yoo i have been waiting for this one! nice. :) Thanks for uploading it!

Absolutely pogged outta my gourd for NL playing Pokemon!

watching my favorite creator play my favorite game is a great way to end the work week

The screen region is so much better with the chat included too.

Pogs all over. My favorite moment of the stream is at 28:25

I never knew I needed this in my life until now

This egg not understanding ANYTHING is amazing

I've grown up watching NL so watching him play pokemon is very very exciting to me

this video is pure ambrosia, the man barely had a clue

Just saying, an NL x pokeaimmd competitive teaching video would be absolutely pog central, you don't even know, man.

Seeing NL playing pokemon is the equivalent of your two friend groups meeting

The words coming out of NL is pure dopamine, esp at 2x speed!

The swords dancing cradily play beating out ferrothorn absolutely made my day

Yoooooo, thought it would never come true. Hope this one sticks a little longer than most

He's getting excited about stuff he doesn't know what it means I love this it's so chaotic it's like a grandpa looking at a computer for the first time

this was highly unexpected, consider my expectations subverted.

tysm for the play by play at the end.

The way he figured out the cradily at the ends was beautiful good job egg

This is the craziest day of my life, NL is a honorary Agent now

That first battle was hilarious

Let's gooo! Love to see the Pokemon content!

NL actually predicting switches has me pogging out of my gourd

This entire video can be summarised with 'He a little confused but he got the spirit'

A collab with a competitive Pokemon youtuber would be highly pog

*doesnt need any flavor text for pikachu* *Doesn't use earthquake* The fuckin confidence is hilarious

I half expected the video to end when he said slash marker

this might be the most painful video ive seen i love it

This pogged, ngl; I love seeing NL stumble through a battle, clinging to what he does know, and persevering nonetheless. (or losing because of lack of awareness, which, who can blame him?) The one tip I'd like to offer is: find your anchor. If a Pokemon has high Def/SpD, that means it's reasonably safe to switch them in when the going gets tough; NL's Cradily was his anchor in that team, and it tanked so much damage that it was easily MVP. Of course, always be aware of your anchor's weaknesses as well; they'll still take the blows usually, but it's the difference between taking 2-3 hits and taking 6+. Thanks for the company.

this is both the most infuriating and entertaining thing i've seen in a while ! XD

Nl's greatest adversary is his refusal to to read

When he didn’t send out hatterene against austin it was one of those moments when you’re just yelling at the screen to please just switch it in

For someone who doesn't know a lot about Pokémon, you really got the basics very quickly. You're definitely ready for a Nuzlocke, NL. ^-^

I didn't know egg playing showdown could be full of so many pogs

i never ever expected this to happen. i have no life and i know everything about pokemon so it was fun watching someone with no experience start to learn stuff.

I would watch the fuck out of NL playing more Pokémon

Best Pokemon episode i've ever seen

Absolutely pogged content

28:24 "What the heck is Bisharp?" "OH FUU"

cool mix

When I saw Tyrantiar use earthquake On the Dusknoir I about flipped my desk.

Nintendo is very upset at this content It is too good and they don't own it

This is something I didn't know I needed.

omg screaming Trick Room at the top of my lungs at midnight......

Pog this was a lot of fun tbh

Oh this is my moment

This made my 20 mins on the stair master much more enjoyable

NL's battles against Baer were fucking cracked??

Never thought I would see nl play showdown
