Some will never figure out how to get Heracross in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Heracross Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Heracross Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Some may argue that the above paragraph is completely unrelated to anything. I'd say its important information to consider.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on YouTube. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

I forgot the best Bugs ever released, Genesect and Pheromosa. I apologize to the Bug type for my Slander They were too powerful and got Banned from OU. However they're not fantastic in the world of Ubers. Perhaps one day they'll create a Bug type Legendary who can compete with the best.
-
The best thing Pokémon ever did for Bug types is buff Leech Life to 80 power on Gen 7 out of absolutely nowhere
-
I can't imagine living a life where I am constantly dealing with kitchen themed future paradox forms threatening me.
-
bug is one of the most unfortunate types in the world of competitive pokemon
-
2:30 Gen 1 Pinser is so sad. Never have I seen a pokemon wish so desperately to have been born a normal type.
-
A 40 minute video on U-turn type and Volcorona-type pokemon. This is insane, folks.
-
I’ll be waiting for my Iron Fridgilis merch. I need a new fridge
-
The characterization of Shedinja as an unfortunate little guy was very endearing
-
I would actually guess that Bug was the first type added, given that catching bugs was the concept that led to what became Pokemon. If so, that might be why it's so terrible - all the other types added afterwards got all the fancy fun moves.
-
Absolutely absurd they felt the need nerf bug in Gen 6 by making Fairy resist it.
-
If emergency exit worked at the end of the turn, Golisopod would have been OU for sure. Basically a one-time free pivot on any move
-
It would be very weird for bug to be added late in development, considering bug fighting was the inspiration for Pokemon lol
-
The shedinja with leftovers absolute kills me xDD
-
the history of bug type pokemon in competitive pokemon is a case that never really sat right with me, in this web of conspiracy several different aspects of the case as far back as gen 1 have always bugged me. Glad to see an expert like Jim needle his way into the conversation, as opposed to taking the same u-turn the rest of the community has.
-
It feels like Bug was designed to be good early on with early evos but bad later on in the game when everything catches up. Even kid me had to box my Butterfree when it couldn't hack it anymore Glad they fleshed it out to make it a solid type in later gens
-
Love that Jimothy Cool uploaded a video about my favorite type on my birthday! How did he know??? 😰
-
A really cool idea was something the creator of the Inclement Emerald romhack did; they made Vikavolt a pseudo with 109 spd. That would have been a really cool idea for GF to do, especially since you can’t get Vikavolt until the late game in Gen 7
-
I recently brought a new fridge last week should I be concerned I have let a dangerous Pokemon into my home
-
Heracross has once again invaded my home and under the threat of its Swarm-boosted Megahorn, it has forced me to watch this insane video.
-
congratulations on 69,000 subscribers, mr. cool. this is insane.
