I Entered the Pokémon World Championships

If you want to support me and get a bunch of extra videos every month, please check out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/WolfeyVGC This video was only made possible because of the tremendous effort of a lot of people, but I’d like to say a special thank you to my editor, Whit. If you like what you see here, you really have him to thank. This video has been by far the most difficult one I’ve ever worked on - I nearly gave up multiple times. It’s also the video I’m the most proud of, and I think it’s my best work to date. I really hope you all enjoy it and can see the passion we put into it.

The facts that only two tournaments ever have been won using a perish trap team, that they have both been by you, and that they have both been AGAINST Ashton (almost a decade removed from each other I might add) is a truly unbelievable statistic

Ashton denying the handshake to go in for a bro hug is one of those great moments of sportsmanship.

The time and care you put into telling this story RIGHT really shows. And Wolfey, this was definitely a story worth telling. Can’t wait to keep following your career.

Have no idea half the things he’s talking about but it’s really interesting to see him strategize. And sometimes even purposely putting himself at a disadvantage.

Happy to see this finally be released! I had a blast helping out with some of the battle edits and I hope you guys like it!

Wolfey’s absolute hatred for Incinaroar is so funny every time

I adore how Spidops continually shows up to try and save the day. Even in one frame when Wolfe’s group is trying to think of a viable team on enoshima island lmao

I don’t even play Pokémon, but this was such a blast to watch. You’re an inspiration Wolfe!

1:46:46 to quote the legendary WolfeyVGC “luck is a skill - if you choose to run a team with stone edge, you will lose games to missing stone edge” (2020)

Literally one year of Wolfey's competition life is an entire 3-season shonen anime series.

I know you probably won’t see this Wolfey, but thank you for this video. The quality and storytelling is top notch. I have a dream to be one of the best ultra runners in the world. I’ve been running since I was 11 and am now 30. I’ve finally started running ultra races. I literally put blood, sweat, and tears into every training block preparing for my races. This past year was rough - one race the weather shifted and I was destroyed by humidity I hadn’t trained in, another I had an injury flare up and had to walk 30 miles, my last race I got Covid the two weeks before and was out for over a month. In the moment, it’s always tough. My spirit starts to crack, but as you said, we don’t know what we can accomplish until we try. Sometimes we succeed but most of the time we fail…and that’s okay. It’s about learning, growing, connecting with like-minded people. As “silly” as people see Pokémon, your mission and dream are inspiring and ultimately teach you lessons, which you share with us. To me, you are a “GREAT”. Thank you for your stories and wisdom you share 🙏💚

These kinds of videos scratch a specific itch for a certain style of story: one where the prep for the tournament is as gripping as the tournament itself. These are always fun to watch as a result! And of course the approach to the game, acknowledging others’ skill and admitting to your own good luck, are very much appreciated.

30:06 I didn't know iron mugulus was allowed to persue it's malicious plans in vgc, this is insane!

I will happily watch a two hour wolfey vid

The speach at the end really hit home thank you for that and for all the lessons shared throughout the video you're awesome Wolfey excited for what next years holds!

As someone who has never heard of you and is only vaguely aware of the competitive pokemon scene i just want to say the quality of this content is absolutely insane. Found myself fully entertained for the whole two hours, the amount of editing is nuts, and the goldingo bop was killer 😂

big fan of whenever wolfey's like "only one player has ever accomplished this before" and then doesn't name the player and you 100000% know it was his ass also incredible video as always !! i'm not a competitive player but learning about VGC strats is beyond fascinating. thanks for all you do!

Holy shit it's finally here

This was an incredibly engaging format. I didn't expect to watch this two-hour long upload but you made it so easy. Thanks for getting me through an otherwise mundane work day. Subscribed.
