Hey pChal, Felipez here, thank you so much for making this video and showing what the Pokémon Twitch Cup is to the non spanish speaking community!! It's hard to put in to words what has been like playing the Twitch Cups. I've been making videos for a really long time and I can confidently say that this is by far the best thing I've been a part of in all this years. Having the oportunity to play a Pokemon game dedicated to you is something else. For anyone who reads this and didn't get to experience it during the streams, pChal did an amazing job summarizing both the tournament and the game but I'll try to add a bit more to that. This is a Pokemon game divided into areas which are designed to pay homage to the players involved. For example, the area dedicated to me in this edition of the game was a mushroom forest filled with quotes taken from videos I made over 10 years ago, and the small area I had last year had references from my favourite game and a battle against myself with a custom Rapidash skin that was both a reference to a twitch emote in my channel and an ode to my late dog. That broke me. The amount of love and atention put into this experience, the people making sure everything goes as smooth as possible for a couple weeks while having the pressure of knowing hundred of thousands of eyes are on them, it's just unreal and I'm so happy to have been a part of this And for the tournament, having the competitive community getting involved on something like this is also surreal. My coach is not really a coach, he's just a friend, but most coaches are world class players, and everyone can have one of the top players in the world walking through this experience with them, aiding in both the main game and the tournament. I just like playing with my friend so in all the Twitch Cup editions I've gone my way, but if at any moment we felt like we didn't know what to do, how to make a propper team with the Pokemon we had, or needed any help, we knew we could go on a discord call for hours with one of the best players in the world so that he could help us. Imagine being unsure on how to aproach the next time you were going to play football with your friends and having Messi come over to help you, well, that's pretty much it. The competitive community's support over this events is insane, and greatly apreciated. As far as I know this may very well be the last Twitch Cup, I sincerely hope it's not, but whatever happens being a part of this has been such an honor Thank you again for making this video Get Sopited

What pChal is doing, showcaising the Pokemon communities from other countries, is amazing.

"BUT WHO THE FUCK IS JIMMY" I'm rolling💀

the fire blast miss, into crit freeze is criminal

For the non-spanish speakers, here's a rough translation on Susana's Pokémon nicknames: -Tiny p*nis (Primarina) -Anushilape (Anihilape) -Ferropuss* (Ferrothorn) -Fuepuss* (Skeleridge) -BemASS (No translation needed, I guess) -My dingalin (Tyranitar, it's a spanish Simpson's reference) Also, as a fun remark: Felipez's Gholdengo is called "spare change"

that has to be one of the coolest ideas making your team based on a randomized nuzlocke and turning the remaining mons into a team for competitive is so cool

"Sopita" as in little soup? Peak naming and GET SOUPED is fantastic

Who is Little Soup? For the blind, it's the light. For the hungry, it's bread. For the thirsty, it's water. For the sick, it's a cure.

“But the terrorism worked” is a fantastic way to phrase it

Talonflame sacrificed its fire type for fake out and a literal bomb strapped to its chest. Now that's awesome.

As a Spanish viewer that followed the PokeTwitchCup 3, is a really nice surprise seeing you making a video about it, mad respect! we love you Jan :)

It's an honor seeing such a big content creator as you talking like this about the Tuich "Poké" Cup!! Thanks a lot for your words, Jan. Excellent video. Un abrazo enorme bro! :3

as my beloved Felpudez wisely said “i played terribly, but the terrorism worked”. grandisimo felipe

Juan is giving some serious “Sami you will break the car” energy

The "Get Sopita'd" strategy ressembles a strategy done on the Twitch Cup 2 by a streamer called "Chusomontero" which had a Pidgeot that learned Explosion. Chuso made it extra funny calling him "Carrerocum" (cum is not unintentional, due to his "cum" related nicknames throughout the entire nuzlocke), because of Carrero's name, who was a fascist politician in Spain that got boomed in his car. Truly a majestic callback.

"Who the fuck is Jimmy?" Him being the number 1 streamer adds up

Mondongo. Only real one will know

As a spanish watcher from Barcelona, thanks for sharing pokemon comunnities too. I watched all three twitch cups and they are so fun. Specially since one of the players... He finished third in the first Pokemon World Cup. Knekro Enjoyer. Also... Nice of you to mention Felipez, he's such a chill guy to watch. And nice translations for the vid! great work! PD. Para vosotros chavales: Mondongo.

This event is rad. The guy's coach is dressed as a hotdog and it doesn't even get mentioned

I can really tell how effective the revamp has been. As someone who enjoyed the content prior to the revamp, I was confused at first, but these last two videos have been nothing short of phenomenal. Bridging the gap with between the communities using your nuzlocke skills from experience and your improved storytelling skills from alpharad is the perfect path that combines your niche. Bravo pChal, Bravo

See the moves Dazzling Gleam and Scald in a Gholdengo's movepool strikes so much fear into me HOLY SH--

Before I actually watch the whole video, I want to pause for a moment to type this out. I’ve followed you for a long time, and I never expected you’d mention the twitch cup. (I’m from Spain, so I tend to tune into IlloJuan’s run when the twitch cup takes place). I don’t know how likely it is that it’ll happen, but since you’ve made an entire video about how last year’s event went down, I think it would be amazing to see you take part in this year’s as a coach. Now, I’ll just let you know I love your content and how you narrate/explain things in your videos. I think everything you put out is very elaborate, curated and carefully crafted. Keep killing it. Wish you all the best

what's actually hillarious is that this is the second time an exploding bird has made the finals of pokemon twitch cup. In twitch cup 2, soulsborne speedruner Chuso Montero made finals (i think, he maybe got knocked down in semis) with an adaptability exploding pidgeot named CarreroCum

7:22 "with the help of his coach Brii" great joke dude, nice one lmao

It’s really cool seeing you cover more nuzlocking aspects of the Pokémon community

Don’t forget about Knekro, he was one of the coaches at the event for Illojuan, he was the first 3rd place in the very first official pokemon tournament in 1999, it was played on pkm stadium !!

13:09 "sucker punch eat my balls" fucking broke me

in case you want to cover a few more of the legends that were born in this tournament, there is a legendary grident called mierdon, ODIA PERDER

PChal showcasing pokemon communities and the translations helps a lot. I'm sure a lot of us even if we knew about this tournament,we wouldn't have been able to understand or keep up,but PC did a great job having us understand and follow the storyline of this cup. Great job,man.

Nice to see such an amazing video about the Spanish Pokémon community!

the speed of spanish speakers yelling in excitement is one of those things that always makes me happy I can't explain it

4:10 the “JUAN!!! 😡😡” IS ABSOLUTELY KILLING ME

holy shit a tournament involving a custom pokemon game finally

I love how you're building bridges between what normally are separate communities. Keep up the good work!

Why isn't our community on the EN side this cool 😢

A sad thing we didn't see the almighty "Mierdón" from alexelcapo on this tournament.

4:09 Que estos dos hayan salido en un análisis de mi canal favorito de Pokémon me parece tan surrealista y maravilloso 🥲

As an Argentinian viewer, i'm so happy about this video, it's so great that you showcase things from other international pokemon comunities! Excellent video! Thank you so much for showing the English community what mines does

Thank you for doing this, Jan. We, the spanish people that watch your videos, are very surprised about you telling Sopita's story. Just one correction. Poke Twitch Cup 2 champion was Reven, not Mixwell. Reven was coached by LenVGC, also a top pro player.

3:41 is peak character design

As someome that followed all 3 Twitch Cups, i can assure you this was one of the best videos explaining the event. Thanks for doing this, have been following the channel for years and this absolutely made my day! For anyone reading this wanting further context on how the Twicth Cup has gone through out the years: The first Twitch cup was a Fire Red play through that ended in a singles tournament. Twitch Cup 2 was created from scrap, creating a new narrative, custom towns inspired in streamers and custom Pokémon/trainer sprites for every streamer. Twitch cup 3 was done the same way as the second edition: new story that was related to the previous year's one, every streamer had it's own sprite/custom poke (they may never encounter it though, as encounters are random) but added the VGC format to change things up!

I didn't expect the Twitch Cup to be showcased here but as both a hispanic twitch follower who has followed this tournament since the first edition and a pChal subscriber, this is so fun.

I'd definitely be up for seeing more tournaments like this develop. Seeing players enter a tournament with teams they've adventured with, rather than just the optimal builds, is far more interesting to me.

Awesome imma get some manscape.

Oh Jan, seeing you cover the Pokemon Twitch Cup made my heart explode. I love your videos as you made me rediscover a part of Pokemon several years ago and as I was watching this video I couldn't hold a smile back during the entire of it. You really got my heart sopited.

What an amazing and creative idea for a tournament, with an entire game dedicated to nuzlockeing just to build a team from it to fight. Would love to see other Pokémon communities try to pull off similar projects, would be a blast for all

"Who the fuck is Jimmy? " has me dying over here lmao

This is really awesome and it seems amazing fun to both participate in and watch. You’re right at the end, we really could learn something from this community.

3:40 WWWOOOAAAAAAAHHHH IS HE HOLDING WHAT I *THINK* HES HOLDING?!?!?!

Unironically thank you so much for this Juan, I really really enjoy listening to this kind of content about pokemon and other games Im into and I often feel as though theres an entire world of content I miss out on because of language barriers. PLEASE keep up this style of content!!

Those new video ideas are so interesting and pleasant to watch man. I like the new direction of the channal a lot so far

Brother seeing this video is making me so happy 😭 Im so glad a cool event from my country is reaching more international audiences. Thank you pchal ❤️❤️❤️

I loved seeing how over the course of the competition, some players would start putting up fanart of their pokemon on the stream. The pokemon puns in Spanish were wild too, great video!

Loving the direction of the videos :) was worried at first when you said you’d pivot but it’s going well

You wanted to come into this year better, and you are doing an amazing job at it, showcasing just how far this community stretches, it's honestly great.

Wow, awesome video. As someone who have followed all three Twitch Cup editions, I feel the need to coment that there's also some incredible moments from the second one, in which one of the contestants, Chuso (ChusoMMontero), went full out with a team whose strategy was to do Explosion to the whole enemy team, as the gym leader that suffered it held a battle beforehand as an NPC in which they killed a Pokemon with Self-Destruct. In fact, this gym leader was Knekro, or Sergio García, who back in the day classified as third in the first world tournament of Pokemon in 2000. Finally, Chuso was so pumped by this tournament (he finished second with a strategy similar to Felipez haha) that he started going to VCG tournaments around Europe. Sadly, he quitted streaming as he was stroken by anxiety and other things, but he still goes to tournaments and he started a career in game development. I needed to share this because going from a "silly" tournament to the real deal takes some guts imho and I kind of admire him for that. It's nice to see these videos from English speaking community, I knew you 'cause I have watched some of your videos after watching the Jaiden's one about Nuzlockes haha

Great video! It’s really interesting to see what other communities are doing

This video was absolutely incredible! Following a single player through on journey through this tournament was very interesting and I really appreciate, that you show perspectives on Pokemon and Nuzlocking, that I would have never seen otherwise.

yo wtf the custom game made for the tournament is crazy lmao i can't believe i've never heard of it before lmao

This is actually the coolest idea ive ever heard of. Thats so freaking cool!! Maybe i can improve my spanish while i watch too. Mark Zuckerberg being the final boss is funny as hell lol i love that pokemon ban system, that would make games so much more interesting to watch! Sopita is the hero we do not deserve.

I've been watching you for a long time pChal, and it's good to see you get more and more comfortable with your presentation and scripts. You've come a long way, and your content just keeps getting better, good on you man.

this was such a good video!! Jan you’re killing it, i look forward to every upload now more than ever. 🎉

Love the new direction you've taken with this channel! Highlighting international parts of the Pokemon community is super interesting and hopefully will bring these separate communities closer together

This is great content, I hope you keep doing stuff like this it’s awesome to see this side of Pokémon

I just can’t thank you enough, I’m part of this community in Spanish Pokémon. You’re doing such an amazing work. Thank you so much Dan. Keep up the amazing videos and streams!

The pokemon Twitch Cup is one of the best events Ibai has ever hosted. It always is a huge hit in the community when it happens and always revives the pokemon-obsessed kid within us. I love how Jan is covering other aspects of the pokemon community, happy that it was my country this time. Greetings from Zamora, Spain.

Really loving all of the international content you are sharing.

The way you narrate and the quality of the video are insane I haven’t been a follower for very long but your channel is goated, thank you very much !

I really hope we have enough content for more of such videos. It's insanely entertaining!

That was great video. Thank you for showing awesome events from different communities ❤

I remember following this event, it’s nice to see pChal take a look at international events

Just a little correction there at the end, the one screaming his lungs out isn't Ibai, it's another streamer named Sekiam. Ibai was the host and had Sekiam as a commentator as he's an experienced VGC player. I've known about the Twitch Cup for a while but never got into it, it's still cool seeing you highlighting it, fantastic video! Nunca me esperé ver al Xokas en un video de pChal, increíble la línea de tiempo en la que vivimos

This is such a beautifully edited and organized video. An amazing balance of education/entertainment. Keep it coming

it's incredible that you followed this entire spanish speaking tournament. i also love how you put in some funny clips of them talking- it feels like you knew spanish and how funny they were

Wasn't expecting to see a video about the Spanish tournament, but I'm extremely glad you made one. Keep it up, Jan!

as part of the spanish community I love you for making this video... greetings from barcelona!

Great vids lately mate. I was thinking where can ya go when you’ve nuzd all the hacks but I’m loving the last two vids I’ve seen. Keep it up

That is an absolutely brilliant tournament format. I really hope to see more of this!

Jan, I've been loving your increased coverage of international championships, content creators, and challenges. It's really, really cool and unlike anything any other Poketuber is doing right now This, combined with your general attention towards talking about the community at large and your INSANE jump in production and overall video quality, has made you my favorite Poketuber as of now Keep up the fantastic work!

Absolutely incredible video and absolutely grear job showcasing the event to tou community. I would absolutely love to wathc something remotely similar between English Communities but the Spanish event is so absolutely gold that I doubt it can be done any better.

Folagor calvo

seeing PChal showing off multiple pokemon related things from around the world makea me really happy, specially since i was really hyped to see the Twitch Cup 3 live from Illojuan's POV. thank you for showing off those amazing projects Jan!

i would've NEVER expected a video about the Twitch Cup from you!! this was so much fun to follow in person and now this!! Fantastic work!! VIVA UBICHOFT!!!

Love PChal showing off the Pokemon and Nuzlocke communities of other countries but also with a constant message of rolling with the punches and having the most fun.

Ive never heard of this tournament and it sounds so amazing thanks pchal for spreading awareness of pokemon content from all around the world!

these last few vids deep diving into exposing different cultures in pokemon have been so fuckin rad.

Genuinely love how you share what is happening worldwide!!!

Projects like these make me so sad that there's such a barrier between these communities. Very creative stuff.

i really did not expect to see you cover the twitch cup and im all for it. as a spaniard whos been nuzlocking for 10 years now and a long time subscriber of yours im gonna specially enjoy this one

Pchal’s story telling is awesome. It really makes you feel like you were there especially when you’re still learning what’s out there. Really an anchor in this community imo. Appreciate you, brother

One of your best videos, and definitely the best non-nuzlocke one

Increíble video, me encanta la forma en que cubres este torneo, y el research hecho para el mismo, gracias por revivir esos momentos de ver la perspectiva del buen felipez ganando la twitch cup. Amazing video, I love the way you cover the tournament. And thanks to make me revive thos moments and memories from watching felipez POV winning the twitch cup.

This is for sure a video i didnt expected but an amazing one non the least. As a spanish viewer is nice to see PTC 3 get some international notice i hope this helps EN community to do something like this.

Dude, this is the most inspired and awesome format I've ever seen. Someone get Alpharad on making this happen in the english speaking community!

As a Spanish viewer who enjoyed Twitch Cup 3 and a PChal viewer, I must say I'm pretty surprised to see this video about the event, I know the kind of content you are bringing recently a it's really really cool. Also you did an amazing job explaining all of it, gg man

Amazing video! Also makes me really happy to see that a renowned creator like you is covering the Pokemon Twitch Cup! As far as i know, the 2023 one was the last edition. Or at least, the last one the team planned to make. So, it'll be really cool to see the english speaking community do something like that. I can assure you that more than half of the spanish community that followed the Pokemon Twitch Cup, would be thrilled to see an "International" or english version. Good luck and keep up the good work!

Priority Explosion is the scariest two word sequence I have heard in pokemon.

I thought i was pretty plugged in to the pokemon scene, but your last two videos have shown just how much is out there past the english-speaking community. Love seeing these and id also like to look at some of these events thanks to you

so cool to see the spanish-talking community been recognized by the english one, the twitch cup is such a cool format of nuzlocke, i thing the coolest thing is the teams of a pro-coach and a normal streamer
