Really need to catch one of these live, been loving catching up after though. The constant shinies are absolutely mind-boggling, truly can't imagine spending the amount of time to get a full competitive team of just shinies.

I bought a damn Switch and Pokémon thanks to these streams and am really enjoying it. Jan, you gotta keep them coming until I can finish the game so we can battle!

The intros are getting too rehearsed... be yourself Jan!

EDIT: The outro was 100% Jan and 100% nailed.

I'm not a pokemon guy. I beat Crystal, dabbled in random others for a couple hours or so...

I LOVE this series! I thought it was going to be a one-off when the first one hit, but this just keeps giving!

Based of the current USUM meta I'd put together a team of

Tapu Koko, Zapdos, Hawlucha, Landorus-Therian, Ferrothorn, and I want to say Magearna or Ash-Greninja

You should add more information to the titles of these. They just show up as the date in the "latest" list on the frontpage. Kinda weird getting a notification saying "New from Giant Bomb: 02/19/2019"

I like it when he does a different set every other video because it reminds me of when Mick Foley was the commissioner the first time and his office was always in a different place. When's PokeMonday Night Combat going to be filmed in the boiler room?

This comment is to state my ongoing approval of this series.

Also sucks to hear about your 2DS getting pinched, Jan :(

I have never felt comfortable leaving something in public on a table if I walk away from it. So sorry to hear that, Jan.

A pokemon battle where we only hear the pokemon screaming and battle music being pumped out of an arena speaker is how it would be in real life. I like that energy.

was it a New 2DS? that's so rough dude...you've made me even more paranoid about that stuff. glad I have big pockets on jackets and stuff to always put things in constantly.

(maybe you should get a New 2DS and see how to um...put custom firmware on it. rebuying a game you just got recently sucks. not sure if you would even be up for buying one of those tho)

It's PokemonDay, not PokeMonday, and everybody knows that Tuesday is Pokemon Day.

Love this show so much! I wish I had this game so I could join in. Pokemon doubles is such a weirdly complex and funny game. Especially enjoy seeing people try out more oddball strategies.

By the way, I never found my GBA games. All I found was a huge container of the empty GBA boxes. Where the heck are they!?
