Hello! We missed a placement! Brandon Ikin 1st at the 2015 Bochum Regionals Jamie Boyt 2nd at the 2015 Bochum Regionals Finals vod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qndL6xJn8I&ab_channel=OrganizedPlayAMIGO

You damn right I'm going to watch a 52 minute Suicine video even though i don't play Competitive.
-
Fun fact, this is the first remake whose original video covered up to Gen 7. Every previous remake’s original video only covered up to Gen 6.
-
I really really hope Arcanine gets a remake video. I think it's the pokemon who needs one the most aside from maybe gengar.
-
Suicune really was the ultimate wall back in Gen 3. Too bad the only one you could legally get your hands on back then without Colosseum always had 3 IVs of 0, which is why I named mine “Suican’t” in those days.
-
I still imagine that scene from Jurassic World where Chris Pratt is surrounded by the 3 velociraptors but instead of the velociraptors it's 3 Walking Wakes
-
Water only being weak to grass and electric has always been too good. Because of that, it's the main reason why grass and electric attacks get used. And back when grass and electric were exclusively special moves, that meant specially defensive water types like Calm Mind Suicune had it even better.
-
It really sucks that Absolute Zero/Sheer Cold got changed since Generation 7 where it loses accuracy when used by Suicune or Kyogre for being Water-types. Even the description change sucks.
-
This video kept me company while I made dinner and did chores. Appreciate your work, team ❤️
-
Sun teams getting a fire water grass core in gen 9 was certainly unexpected. And considering how much of a staple groudon and kyogre are in restricted formats wake is going to fit right in. Koridon also has a lot of potential as a sun setter that also gets an attack buff in restricted formats. Wake is not only a sun mon but also a great counter to sun. So I expect it to thrive
-
Interesting for this to come out before we get to see how Walking Wake fairs in Regulation F VGC.
-
It's always been weird to me they give so much more love to Suicune than the other beast and it's nothing like Charizard. They gave it more love out of nowhere, but I have to say it has the best design
-
If this means a remake of Entei, I’m game. Since it’s had much more competitive success than just being “The bad Johto Beast”
-
Another wonderful video. Hats off to FSG's commitment to Pokemon analysis and here's to the New Year with more in store.
-
Majestic and iconic beast, imposible to dislike this pokemon.
-
Happy to be mentioned in this video! Of maybe particular interest is that in the finals of 2013 Houston, game 2 came down to Suicune vs Suicune, which I was able to win thanks to Rest and VGC's timer rules. Flattered to be included in Pokemon history!
-
Suicune is definitely my favourite of the legendary beasts. Beautiful design.
-
I forgot which, but I did mention this on another video. I've never been one for competitive pokémon. And on the whole, I only understand everything you're talking about at a base level. That said, just putting on and casually listening to these videos is always both fascinating and strangely relaxing.
-
Bulky water types always makes me think that grass types should've been the bulky ones since it makes sense with them being support type pokemon and grass types already got a lot of weaknesses so the water type doesn't need more buffs and could use a nerf that isn't ice.
-
And with this another year of "how good was # actually" ends, hope to see more remakes next year cause sone pokemon really needs it but for now thank you False Swipe Gaming for all this " actually great" content ❤🎉
