This video took months of planning and hundreds of hours of work, so if you enjoyed it I hope you'll consider subscribing! I'd love to open up a Pokemon Elite 4 in real life next
I have a great challenge you may he interested in. If you'd like to know I'm happy to ask. Yes or no, thay would be the end of the discussion. I dont mind posting it here if you reply. You're just really good and I know you lold a good challenge, you may find it interesting, and its competitive as well.
Wolfe is definitely pushing the boundaries of being a Pokémon KZclipr. For sure deserves all the success he's having right now. The video and the event was amazing.

But have you not…?. Like there’s other games… each game has is its own region in the Pokémon world and each region has 8 gyms. There’s currently 72 gyms in the Pokemon world based off all the games. So no. It’s not 8 gyms across the entire world. It’s 8 gyms in a country.
When a youtuber pulls off a better event than the game company itself This looks insane, both in the fun and logistical factors Really wish this starts becoming a more commonplace thing, and hopefully not just in the US!
@Carlos Vasquez They arent lazy. Pokemon game development has gotten more complex now than it was 10 years ago. Yet nintendo insists on keeping the dev time of 2 years or so. Thats the same dev time they had for DS with its mostly 2D graphics. Its no wonder everything is rushed and unfinished.
Why is this such a fun concept?!? I appreciate how Wolfey embodied the spirit of the gym leaders and had a team that was meant to be defeated. A World Champ not using his best Pokémon shows a lot of restraint. I would have joined but my original game boy ran out of double A batteries 😬-original Red and Blue gym next? Lol.
It's easy to understand why it's such a fun concept. You're basically living out your dreams. You're getting the BEST Immersion. You're getting a REAL taste of what it's like to be in one of THE most Nostalgia fueled games!
@Art and Em It was impressive, but not as impressive as your ability to make a fool out of yourself and be wrong about everything you said in this thread 🙄
I love how the last battle was like something out of a legit Pokémon game with the former Champion going through his brother and then the Gym leader to regain his title.
This is actually a pretty cool idea , that I think Japan should REALLY capitalise on 😂 Imagine how sick an actual gym would be… in the poké world or something 🤷🏽♂️
Brendan Zheng is like an actual Pokémon protagonist for real. Going up against his own brother in a Gym, tell me that’s not straight out of a Pokémon game.
Dude. Props to you and everyone else for putting this together. This is a super cool video idea. This is what Pokémon is about. Bringing people together for good old fashioned fun. I love to see it. I’m an ex TCG player, so I’m not too knowledgeable on the VGC, but that doesn’t negate the awesomeness of this. Haha
This is event is amazing! It’s so cool of you to provide this incredible event. This is a great gift for all Pokémon fans. Shout out for all the people who made this possible 😁
Bro no lie. This is one of the absolute coolest things I've ever seen. Creative, fun, and bringing some of that magic we all grew up on to life. Thank you for bringing this to life. If you ever do something like this near chicago I'm going.
@Shmandalf bro right?! Train up a crazy good team. What type would fit Chicago or other major cities 🤔 New York was Water so Chicago should be a sister or a foil type.
This looks honestly amazing. I walways thought about doing a real gym like this but never had the resources. Imagine Wolfey gathering some pros and building an Elite 4 tournament. Insane.
It makes me happy to see this. Someone making something that brings happiness to the world in a time when it’s so very needed. I don’t know why anyone hasn’t thought of this years ago.
The double discharge team was actually quite creative, Wolfey knows what to do against more conventional team, but didn't expect someone to just power through as hard as possible, making it surprisingly effective and creative.
Tbh that strat is simple and that is how most of us defeat the gym leader in the game. Just hit hard as possible :D Its so wholesome that make this event welcome to everyone, not only for competitive maniac.
That's such a cool event to do! I remember having something similar at an anime con a few years ago. We had 8 gym leaders spread out through the convention center and we had to defeat all 8 of them to participate in a tournament. I hope one day I get to participate in one of Wolfes' gym event.
Imagine how cool it would be if there were hundreds of gyms like this spread out all across the world were anyone could play, earn badges, prizes and compete in international tournaments
This is an event I always wish to happen in my town. I hope that Gamefreak will take this as an example to do events like this around the world. They could do a lot of great events like this.
@Nelson Puc Cruz this is the rare case. But if you know your bringing a specific type pokemon plan for the person to bring the counter as the original post said. Muscle your way through with the pokemon that are super effective. I was stating this is why as a dragon type trainer I plan for pokemon that are super effective against me, and I teach some of them moves that are super effective against them. Because in the video he was trying to muscle electric type with water moves. None of them learned any ground based moves. Hell mud slap is a move most water can learn and it may not do alot of damage but it is super effective and drops accuracy. Earthquake which would be devastating to electric many water can learn and since it is a special attack not a physical attack most waters can use it very effectively
@Novarender so was I, if a water type trainer knows he's going to run against electric type moves you plan around it. There are water and ground type pokemon to deal with electric type. My point is you plan for people bring those specific types when you are a gym leader.
Watching this video sent goosebumps all over my body multiple times. Holyyyy it must have been so cool to be able to participate in a real life pokemon gym event! Wolfey, you are the real goat!
God I’m so jealous! There’s no way I would have stood a chance, but I’ve been dreaming of challenging a Pokémon gym since I was a small child. This gives me hope that I’ll get to do that some day. :)
It's incredible how much effort goes in to just a ten minute video. Love Wolfe's content Edit: You know KZclip has a serious bot problem when people start accusing me, a human, of being a bot.
Thinking about it, it would be interesting if there was 8 gyms scattered around the country that you had to visit in person in order to defeat. It wouldn't be a challenge most people could finish in one year, but what an awesome roadtrip it could be-
Wolfe’so new type of content is infinitely better. He interacts better with viewers and comes across as a very good content creator. Don’t get me wrong, I liked his old type of content but this just fits Wolfe more
i mean he definitely had an awkward spot when he was first starting these scripted videos, he had that classic youtuber voice that sounded pretty inorganic ukno? But lately he's been putting more of his personality into his scripts and his storytelling has improved a lot also. Props to him and his team for the hard work they do
It's kinda weird to say this fits him more since his new style is scripted and his old style is more off the cuff. He definitely does a great job with the content though, the work he puts in the videos really shows and it's naturally more streamlined and refined than the unscripted content
This looks like an absolute blast! I would have just loved to be around the other fans and enjoy this. Hell if I had the time I would probably come up with some pokemon food ideas and have a cart or something easy to have nearby to feed all the trainers.
Absolutely fantastic! Always wanted this to be a real thing. I think every country should have nation wide gyms and leagues with all pkm game gym leaders. Would be amazing to travel and meet communities all around the world collecting badges and sharing the love of pokemon.
Okay but how is this idea not an official thing Organise by Pokémon company all around the world ? This is the freaking coolest idea I’ve ever seen but sadly I live in Germany and can only dream to be at such an event one day. Amazing job Wolfe you’re a genius
This is pure awesomeness man!! I live in NYC and im so jelly I haven't heard of this event. You gotta throw it again someday soon. You are doing amazing things for the community
The new trainer to the game and the one who hasn’t played Pokemon for years are actually very impressive to be able to make it so far to challenge Wolfey and actually beat him. Gives people like me hope. Lol.
I just learning about competitive Pokemon, and one of my learning basics come from your videos. I saw your VGC battle back in 2021 and YT gave me this video as recommendation. Thank you for letting a Gen 3 kid like me to believe that nothing is impossible in this world. Wishing you the best in the future Wolfie.
You surely outdid yourself and generally all other Poketubers with this Video Wolfey! This was outstanding and i hope we get to see more in the Future. Liked and gonna spread the word!
This is one of the most interactive and well thought out Pokemon event, and it's not even from the company itself! Love seeing everyone get together in this wonderful event
When was the last time the company of a product that would be ripe for hosting these cool events did anything better than those of the community? Smash does not count because they plan to make sure there are no fan alternatives.
This is actually amazing! If only this was a regular thing, especially here in the UK. This would definitely get me thinking about trying competitive battles
I so wish I could have been to see this happening in person. I have never been good at strategizing but I love Pokémon. Always have. A real life gym would have lit me up! 😊
This is one of the coolest ideas ive seen for bringing something from a game to real life just truly brilliant looked like a great time too glad to see it
This is legitimately the coolest thing I've ever seen pokemon-related. I'm so jealous of everyone who got to experience that in-person. Please keep doing things like this Wolfey, you are just fundamentally changing the landscape of pokemon content!
@megselv next step should be to make the gyms stronger, I feel like wolfe would have done better with donzdo and tausugiri, but ig they wanted to make the gym more playable to amateurs, also ig maybe wokfe thought he would run into a lot of murkrow, which can be countered by coalossal tbh
Nintendo's marketing team should be taking notes. This is both a great thing for fans, and an amazing advertisement for Pokemon. They should be setting these up in every city like Apple does with its Apple Stores. Make it a place where you can go to watch, buy merch, challenge the gym, buy games, buy merch, get exclusive mystery gifts downloaded to your game, and buy merch.
It's almost unbeliveable that Wolfey went from uploading his commentary over DS gameplay from his dorm room to these heights. That's the "World Champ Difference".
This is the coolest thing in the world. It's what Pokemon has always been about: bringing people together. Man I wish this could happen again, especially if the Pokemon Company sponsors it. That would be an amazing chance to give out VGC points like official competitions do.
This is probably the coolest Pokemon content I have ever seen. You made a real life gym dude, and brought so much joy to people. Congrats on organizing such a gem of a moment for the Pokemon community!
This is the video that finally made me subscribe. You and your team did such a wonderful job creating and managing this event, and I hope I can make it to the next one! (hopefully there is one)
The matches on the big screen is a perfect kiss!! I love it! I’m excited watching this!! Hell, just standing in the line and talkin poketalk would be exciting in itself!!
this event looked amazing! the woman that said she fell out of pokemon for awhile but got back to it with this gen hit me hard because wolfey is the reason why i stuck to this generation after having fallen out for abit as well. and here we all are united in our love for the hobby and of the world champion. thanks for everything Wolfey!
Holy moly what a great event :O For real, that was so nice to watch. Thank you very much for your time planning this. I wish I could have been there live. Just as an Idea - make kind a "World-Tour" out this :P
I love this! I really enjoy Pokémon and how it brings people together in positive ways. It’s so nice to see people being happy and together doing what they love.
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen!! I live in New York and I wish I seen this sooner. I always been a fan Pokémon but fell off playing until the newest game was released. This would have been so fun just to be there to watch the live battles…very cool!
This is one of the dopest DOPEST things I have EVER seen a fandom pull together to do. Better than any in person event I’ve seen Niantic themselves pull together for Pokémon Go too
This isn't the collective work of the fandom, it's Wolfey and his friends in the VGC that made this possible the fandom is mostly arguing on twitter and reddit
I'm imagining a future where we can get gyms like this all over the world, along with a tournament open only to those that actually traveled to get 8 badges from their closest ones.
Having one in every major city per state and province for Canada would be so cool. I live in Montreal and would love to be part of a Montreal pokemon gym event
Not the same thing but when i was a teen every summer there were pokemon theme events in a lot of the beaches of my country, you could go there play and do some gymkhanas , get oficial merch, and get event pokemon. Sadly this disapeared
I don't think an event like this has ever happened before. The franchise has been alive for over 20yrs and not even Pokemon thought of doing this. Not without it being like Go or something
This was such a beautiful idea. I hope someday the pokemon company picks this up and host a gym around the world with top pokemon players so that people can travel and obtain badges like this. And maybe even get a secret elite 4 going. That way we can finally have a true pokemon champion this generation.
This is AMAZING. I grew up on pokemon since I was in middle school an I'm 21 atm. This is a brilliant an well executed idea. I'm definitely one day going to experience that
I love how wolfey was always so respectful. Even if he destroyed someone with no difficulty, he still was kind and made it NOT seem like such a major defeat 😂. But seriously he’s really cool❤
I just happened across this video - and this event was so cool! I just started playing pokemon again, and this event looks like it captured the spirit of everything the game is! So fun
Wolfe event gonna start competing with the Pokemon Comp scene haha. This guy is a mad lad for pushing the content boundaries. Keep it up MORE MORE MORE
This video took months of planning and hundreds of hours of work, so if you enjoyed it I hope you'll consider subscribing! I'd love to open up a Pokemon Elite 4 in real life next
As long as the music from the elite four is playing in the background. You know which one….. you know….
I hope you got a good return on this, dude.
Where at tho
whaaat so bummed I missed this! Hopefully you find time to do another
I have a great challenge you may he interested in. If you'd like to know I'm happy to ask. Yes or no, thay would be the end of the discussion. I dont mind posting it here if you reply. You're just really good and I know you lold a good challenge, you may find it interesting, and its competitive as well.
Wolfe is definitely pushing the boundaries of being a Pokémon KZclipr. For sure deserves all the success he's having right now. The video and the event was amazing.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Nah 𖤐
Repent to Jesus Christ “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

J
Wolfe is MrBeast but for Pokemon lol
Ahah be an adult
we need 7 more people like you scattered through the rest of the world
@myneckbered no, non-viable
8 for each country
@Steven Joubert it's a lot harder for every single country to find 8 gym leaders than for the entire world 👍🏻
But have you not…?. Like there’s other games… each game has is its own region in the Pokémon world and each region has 8 gyms. There’s currently 72 gyms in the Pokemon world based off all the games. So no. It’s not 8 gyms across the entire world. It’s 8 gyms in a country.
When a youtuber pulls off a better event than the game company itself
This looks insane, both in the fun and logistical factors
Really wish this starts becoming a more commonplace thing, and hopefully not just in the US!
@Carlos Vasquez They arent lazy. Pokemon game development has gotten more complex now than it was 10 years ago. Yet nintendo insists on keeping the dev time of 2 years or so. Thats the same dev time they had for DS with its mostly 2D graphics. Its no wonder everything is rushed and unfinished.
There are many local supported by the pokemon company, maybe you just havnt looked.
@Carlos Vasquez Wolfey himself would disagree with that
Didn't Nintendo already do this in Tokyo and Hokaido?
why? people hack and over do it making it no fun for casuals.
Why is this such a fun concept?!? I appreciate how Wolfey embodied the spirit of the gym leaders and had a team that was meant to be defeated. A World Champ not using his best Pokémon shows a lot of restraint. I would have joined but my original game boy ran out of double A batteries 😬-original Red and Blue gym next? Lol.
It's easy to understand why it's such a fun concept. You're basically living out your dreams. You're getting the BEST Immersion. You're getting a REAL taste of what it's like to be in one of THE most Nostalgia fueled games!
Brilliant idea. Would love to go to another event like that. I could help you organize another one in Mexico City 🙌🏽
Nintendo needs to sponsor you at this point, crazy how much your content is doing for the community.
sadly, knowing how japanese companies roll... chances are that they would sue him once they find out
Can we just talk about how inspiring it is that someone just picked up the series and was able to clear the gym that efficiently
@Art and Em WHERES YOUR BADGE AT FEMBOY
That's pretty much identical to the real games, lmao
@Art and Em It was impressive, but not as impressive as your ability to make a fool out of yourself and be wrong about everything you said in this thread 🙄
She's all of us switching to electric type to fight against water gym
I love how the last battle was like something out of a legit Pokémon game with the former Champion going through his brother and then the Gym leader to regain his title.
This is actually a pretty cool idea , that I think Japan should REALLY capitalise on 😂
Imagine how sick an actual gym would be… in the poké world or something 🤷🏽♂️
Okay so there needs to be a million more of these. What a dope idea. Epic execution. How TPC didnt jump on this idea sooner is beyond me. Great work!
I got teary-eyed watching this. This is REALLY cool. Props to you!
The two people interviewed at 3:00 had such an infectious energy. They seem like absolutely lovely humans
@TripleG333 the girl's definitely hot, but the guy just looks really creepy
@YuyuHakurei dude could be a space alien too
Who said this a pokemon? xD Absolutely Lovely Humans says Miller the Vileplume.
@Lee shiii- I'm looking for it too lol
Brendan Zheng is like an actual Pokémon protagonist for real. Going up against his own brother in a Gym, tell me that’s not straight out of a Pokémon game.
It might not be straight out of a Pokemon Game, but it IS Anime AF!
its not straight out of a pokemon game. you only got a mom and maybe, just maybe, a father named norman who is way less of a normal man than larry
We're all NPCs in his world!
@Chi Muoma this sounds cool, but you should pitch this to digimon fans.
@Charles Ruteal even better since you faced your dad in that game
Dude. Props to you and everyone else for putting this together. This is a super cool video idea. This is what Pokémon is about. Bringing people together for good old fashioned fun. I love to see it.
I’m an ex TCG player, so I’m not too knowledgeable on the VGC, but that doesn’t negate the awesomeness of this. Haha
This is event is amazing! It’s so cool of you to provide this incredible event.
This is a great gift for all Pokémon fans.
Shout out for all the people who made this possible 😁
Bro no lie. This is one of the absolute coolest things I've ever seen. Creative, fun, and bringing some of that magic we all grew up on to life. Thank you for bringing this to life. If you ever do something like this near chicago I'm going.
@Shmandalf bro right?! Train up a crazy good team. What type would fit Chicago or other major cities 🤔
New York was Water so Chicago should be a sister or a foil type.
I'd literally re-buy a switch lite just to attend something like this
This looks honestly amazing. I walways thought about doing a real gym like this but never had the resources. Imagine Wolfey gathering some pros and building an Elite 4 tournament. Insane.
It makes me happy to see this. Someone making something that brings happiness to the world in a time when it’s so very needed. I don’t know why anyone hasn’t thought of this years ago.
The double discharge team was actually quite creative, Wolfey knows what to do against more conventional team, but didn't expect someone to just power through as hard as possible, making it surprisingly effective and creative.
@J S what do you expect to see from a mono electric team lol
Tbh that strat is simple and that is how most of us defeat the gym leader in the game.
Just hit hard as possible :D
Its so wholesome that make this event welcome to everyone, not only for competitive maniac.
@StrikeAxl the man handing out water bottle at front's advice worked!
That surprisingly was the fight that's most similar to the games, lol. Amazing stuff.
@Felipe he didn't know
That's such a cool event to do! I remember having something similar at an anime con a few years ago. We had 8 gym leaders spread out through the convention center and we had to defeat all 8 of them to participate in a tournament. I hope one day I get to participate in one of Wolfes' gym event.
That sounds like so much fun! What convention was it? I might start suggesting this.
Imagine how cool it would be if there were hundreds of gyms like this spread out all across the world were anyone could play, earn badges, prizes and compete in international tournaments
It's honestly crazy to see how far wolfey's come over the years! This was amazing wolfey and honestly excited for the future of pokemon content!
This is an event I always wish to happen in my town. I hope that Gamefreak will take this as an example to do events like this around the world. They could do a lot of great events like this.
If this happens more often, I would totally work to have a team to play.
Love how 25 years later, still the best tactic to win a gym is by brute forcing with super effective moves.
Great job with this project!
@Robert
That's why you normally just switch out lol
@Nelson Puc Cruz this is the rare case. But if you know your bringing a specific type pokemon plan for the person to bring the counter as the original post said. Muscle your way through with the pokemon that are super effective.
I was stating this is why as a dragon type trainer I plan for pokemon that are super effective against me, and I teach some of them moves that are super effective against them. Because in the video he was trying to muscle electric type with water moves. None of them learned any ground based moves. Hell mud slap is a move most water can learn and it may not do alot of damage but it is super effective and drops accuracy. Earthquake which would be devastating to electric many water can learn and since it is a special attack not a physical attack most waters can use it very effectively
@Novarender so was I, if a water type trainer knows he's going to run against electric type moves you plan around it. There are water and ground type pokemon to deal with electric type.
My point is you plan for people bring those specific types when you are a gym leader.
@Robert They were referring to what happened in the video
HAHAHAHAHAHA WTF
I watched this when it came out and since then ive had my mind burning with ideas to implement gyms in real life, i want this to be a thing so bad!
Most wholesome event ever in our corrupted generation. Must support and protect this man!
Watching this video sent goosebumps all over my body multiple times. Holyyyy it must have been so cool to be able to participate in a real life pokemon gym event! Wolfey, you are the real goat!
God I’m so jealous! There’s no way I would have stood a chance, but I’ve been dreaming of challenging a Pokémon gym since I was a small child. This gives me hope that I’ll get to do that some day. :)
In Wolfey’s first loss, we learn type advantages aren’t everything
And in his next, we learn they’re still a whole lot
It's incredible how much effort goes in to just a ten minute video. Love Wolfe's content
Edit: You know KZclip has a serious bot problem when people start accusing me, a human, of being a bot.
Thats what a bot would say
Reply to edit: yeah yt had a SERIOUS bot problem
If you’re a human being then you would say something a bot wouldn’t say in the reply section!!
r/art mods have come for yt comments it seems.
The replies are funny.
But yeah, I agree!
This is such a big step for the pokemon community and Wolfe. Good to see him pushing the boundaries like this!
This is amazing! Seeing something like this makes me so happy. It's something we've wanted forever and you and your team made it happen
Thinking about it, it would be interesting if there was 8 gyms scattered around the country that you had to visit in person in order to defeat. It wouldn't be a challenge most people could finish in one year, but what an awesome roadtrip it could be-
This is so cool, great idea and execution. This is the type of stuff pokemon company themselves should be doing with the community.
For this, imo, you deserve credit from Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori. Lifting their universe to another level. Great stuff!
Wolfe’so new type of content is infinitely better. He interacts better with viewers and comes across as a very good content creator. Don’t get me wrong, I liked his old type of content but this just fits Wolfe more
i mean he definitely had an awkward spot when he was first starting these scripted videos, he had that classic youtuber voice that sounded pretty inorganic ukno? But lately he's been putting more of his personality into his scripts and his storytelling has improved a lot also. Props to him and his team for the hard work they do
@larsworld h its real youtubists
It's kinda weird to say this fits him more since his new style is scripted and his old style is more off the cuff. He definitely does a great job with the content though, the work he puts in the videos really shows and it's naturally more streamlined and refined than the unscripted content
@Poofy Foxjust preference, a lot of people love the new style myself included
What a nice thing to say. :)
This looks like an absolute blast! I would have just loved to be around the other fans and enjoy this. Hell if I had the time I would probably come up with some pokemon food ideas and have a cart or something easy to have nearby to feed all the trainers.
We're seriously gonna need more of this.
Absolutely fantastic! Always wanted this to be a real thing. I think every country should have nation wide gyms and leagues with all pkm game gym leaders. Would be amazing to travel and meet communities all around the world collecting badges and sharing the love of pokemon.
Okay but how is this idea not an official thing Organise by Pokémon company all around the world ? This is the freaking coolest idea I’ve ever seen but sadly I live in Germany and can only dream to be at such an event one day. Amazing job Wolfe you’re a genius
This is pure awesomeness man!! I live in NYC and im so jelly I haven't heard of this event. You gotta throw it again someday soon. You are doing amazing things for the community
I wish more events like these happened irl. This might be the thing that gets me back in to Pokemon.
The new trainer to the game and the one who hasn’t played Pokemon for years are actually very impressive to be able to make it so far to challenge Wolfey and actually beat him. Gives people like me hope. Lol.
I just learning about competitive Pokemon, and one of my learning basics come from your videos. I saw your VGC battle back in 2021 and YT gave me this video as recommendation.

You surely outdid yourself and generally all other Poketubers with this Video Wolfey! This was outstanding and i hope we get to see more in the Future. Liked and gonna spread the word!
This could actually become a thing in hobbie shops. And not only there, this video itself proves it can help promote other type of businesses.
This is one of the most interactive and well thought out Pokemon event, and it's not even from the company itself! Love seeing everyone get together in this wonderful event
@JayC but why would TPC sue this massive free PR for their games
Lets hope they dont sue though.
When was the last time the company of a product that would be ripe for hosting these cool events did anything better than those of the community?
Smash does not count because they plan to make sure there are no fan alternatives.
This is actually amazing! If only this was a regular thing, especially here in the UK. This would definitely get me thinking about trying competitive battles
Damn that’s cool. All props to you and your team.
I so wish I could have been to see this happening in person. I have never been good at strategizing but I love Pokémon. Always have. A real life gym would have lit me up! 😊
This is one of the coolest ideas ive seen for bringing something from a game to real life just truly brilliant looked like a great time too glad to see it

Next step is to make scenery as well LOL! Imagine what one could do with creativity and some sponsor money...
@Clever Man good thing you said buy merch twice.
Nintendo's marketing team should be taking notes. This is both a great thing for fans, and an amazing advertisement for Pokemon. They should be setting these up in every city like Apple does with its Apple Stores. Make it a place where you can go to watch, buy merch, challenge the gym, buy games, buy merch, get exclusive mystery gifts downloaded to your game, and buy merch.
Tbh, the pachirisu at worlds thing was cooler (this including the like 4 events and over crowding issues) but this is great too
It's almost unbeliveable that Wolfey went from uploading his commentary over DS gameplay from his dorm room to these heights.
That's the "World Champ Difference".
Dude this was really cool! I’m sure you made a lot of people’s dreams come true that day 💯
This guy is bringing our childhood to life
What an amazing idea and execution! I hope tjis can be replicated in many other places.
This is the coolest thing in the world. It's what Pokemon has always been about: bringing people together.
Man I wish this could happen again, especially if the Pokemon Company sponsors it. That would be an amazing chance to give out VGC points like official competitions do.
This is probably the coolest Pokemon content I have ever seen. You made a real life gym dude, and brought so much joy to people. Congrats on organizing such a gem of a moment for the Pokemon community!
I know right???!!!! He is pushing the boundaries of pokemon content and I'm all for it!!!!
This was simply awesome!
So happy to see you succeed like this!
You know this is actually something amazing. Well done you deserve your success
This is the video that finally made me subscribe. You and your team did such a wonderful job creating and managing this event, and I hope I can make it to the next one! (hopefully there is one)
this was exceedingly charming. I hope Gym Leader Wolfe has more of this in store in the future!
The matches on the big screen is a perfect kiss!! I love it! I’m excited watching this!! Hell, just standing in the line and talkin poketalk would be exciting in itself!!
this event looked amazing! the woman that said she fell out of pokemon for awhile but got back to it with this gen hit me hard because wolfey is the reason why i stuck to this generation after having fallen out for abit as well. and here we all are united in our love for the hobby and of the world champion. thanks for everything Wolfey!
Holy moly what a great event :O
For real, that was so nice to watch.
Thank you very much for your time planning this.
I wish I could have been there live.
Just as an Idea - make kind a "World-Tour" out this :P
I love this! I really enjoy Pokémon and how it brings people together in positive ways. It’s so nice to see people being happy and together doing what they love.
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen!! I live in New York and I wish I seen this sooner. I always been a fan Pokémon but fell off playing until the newest game was released. This would have been so fun just to be there to watch the live battles…very cool!
Such a cool concept! I can't wait for your eventual Pokemon Elite Four video!
That Killowatrel and Raichu combo is actually insane to me ngl! Such a cool idea
Also if this event ever comes back, I would love to join hopefully
This is one of the dopest DOPEST things I have EVER seen a fandom pull together to do. Better than any in person event I’ve seen Niantic themselves pull together for Pokémon Go too
This isn't the collective work of the fandom, it's Wolfey and his friends in the VGC that made this possible
the fandom is mostly arguing on twitter and reddit
>fandom
nope
a group of people who worked their ass
Super proud to be your fan. This is amazing stuff!
this is the type of event I used to dream about as a kid, you're a legend wolfe
Imagine having this idea around the world and everyone beeing able to do real life Arena battles... its like dreaming
I'm imagining a future where we can get gyms like this all over the world, along with a tournament open only to those that actually traveled to get 8 badges from their closest ones.
This was so cool!! an elite 4 would be awesome! I'm sure you'll make it happen.
We NEED official gym leader events like this in the future. It looks so fun for Pokemon fans, and might get more people into the franchise!
Having one in every major city per state and province for Canada would be so cool. I live in Montreal and would love to be part of a Montreal pokemon gym event
@TheMaestro I know! Such a missed opportunity.
Not the same thing but when i was a teen every summer there were pokemon theme events in a lot of the beaches of my country, you could go there play and do some gymkhanas , get oficial merch, and get event pokemon.
Sadly this disapeared
I AGREEE
I don't think an event like this has ever happened before. The franchise has been alive for over 20yrs and not even Pokemon thought of doing this. Not without it being like Go or something
This was such a beautiful idea. I hope someday the pokemon company picks this up and host a gym around the world with top pokemon players so that people can travel and obtain badges like this. And maybe even get a secret elite 4 going. That way we can finally have a true pokemon champion this generation.
That was so awesome! I always wished as a kid that there were real Pokemon Gyms operating around the world constantly like this haha
can't wait for elite four maybe need years of planning and worthy rewards lol. what a blast event
This is AMAZING. I grew up on pokemon since I was in middle school an I'm 21 atm. This is a brilliant an well executed idea. I'm definitely one day going to experience that
I don't play Pokémon and I rarely watch the show but seeing people happy and having fun doing what the love is so heart warming
Wolfey has actually been popping off so hard since Scarlet and Violet. Don't stop man
@OA_Swift this is evquilvant to the pokemon world championships anime title! 😂
It's the world champ difference
This is amazing, I can't even come close to thinking how much it could've cost, but everyone seemed to have loved it!
Now you have to make the rest of the gyms and also organize the elite four to truly fulfill the pokemon adventure vibes
This really is an amazing idea. Glad you guys pulled it off
Would be cool to see this expanded to not only the card game, but the Game boy versions as well. Others should do this too!
That was absolutely amazing to watch! That last match gave me chills wondering who would win! Love this idea! Wish there were more 😂
I love how wolfey was always so respectful. Even if he destroyed someone with no difficulty, he still was kind and made it NOT seem like such a major defeat 😂. But seriously he’s really cool❤
Deep down he's a troll tho he needs to let the true colors shine once again
Just like a real Gym Leader. They push the trainers but encourage them too.
deep down i kinda wished that he would make them black out and lose their money
but yeah hes a nice guy
He knows he could probably beat them in a real game lol. All water types is difficult to say the least
Brilliant idea, so glad it went well Wolfie :) Wishing you all the best with the Elite 4. Hoping I can make it out to spectate
Not only the event looked amazing but you also made a very enjoyable and entertaining video, just loved it
This is an amazing idea and such a great creator to bring it to life! Definitely wish I would’ve been able to experience thi
I'd love to be able to join an event like this in the future!
This is so cool and I absolutely wish I could be a part of something like this.
Watching Brendan walk through the gym was like watching Red walk through. So badass.
Ironic that Brendan shares a name with another Pokémon protagonist, the male protagonist of Gen 3
I just happened across this video - and this event was so cool! I just started playing pokemon again, and this event looks like it captured the spirit of everything the game is! So fun
Wolfe event gonna start competing with the Pokemon Comp scene haha. This guy is a mad lad for pushing the content boundaries. Keep it up MORE MORE MORE
Man this channel's quality has skyrocketed, this videos are so entraining and high quality
