Anchor9 is a cool guy
(stolen from BKC video comment)
This has literally nothing to do with the video but it’s something I had to get off the chest. Last night I had a dream, or perhaps a nightmare would be more accurate. A strange YouTube video sat in front of me. “What if spoons were removed from Gen 5?”. Just from the title alone I was set at unease, an immediate chill knowing this should not exist. The video starts, and what these spoons are is soon explained. Spoons acted as passive effects to their respective Pokémon, giving horrific upgrades. For example Politoed’s spoon doubled scald’s burn rate. My eyes widened upon hearing this, dread soaking into every crevice of my body. Yet even this primal feeling of fear would not prepare me for what would come next. Azumarill permanently infatuated it’s opponents, Clef gained the fairy typing, Latios was immune to stat drops including its own, Moltres would instantly revive at 10% if it was knocked out by a direct attack, Tyranitar’s pursuit gained dragon tail’s effect (if the opponent had attempted to switched it would cancel their switch as well). What finally broke me was hearing about Alakazam’s spoon which allowed alakazam to carry 2 more spoons infinitely. By throwing the integer limit of spoons Zam could ohko any Pokémon. I screamed for help, anyone to save me before I realized nothing existed besides my consciousness and the monitor. I attempted to smash the monitor, before realizing nothing existed besides me and the monitor, not even my own hands. Powerless, I watched on as Bkc continued to ramble and ramble. Finally, 50 minutes into the video BKC answered the titular question. “Would Gen 5 OU be a better tier if we had followed in the steps of RU and banned all spoons? Absolutely, the tier would be much healthier and would be extremely fun-“. Immediately I woke up in a cold sweat, shocked by BKC praising Gen 5’s OU
