as a disclaimer I am subscribed to all the youtubers mentioned here and support them, these are my thoughts

ABrandonTo The Past

many people might not remember him because he no longer makes content, but back in the day he was pretty funny and if he truly never comes back I'll miss him

DistantKingdom

its getting more and more rare for people to call out gamefreak's mistakes and its good to see DK bringing the facts and pointing out the bad animation that plagues sword and shield

false swipe gaming

its like a history channel for competitive pokemon

lockstin & gnoggin

great content...when he's not shoving product placements and bad jokes in your face (also he mispronounces gliscor even though he pronounces gligar correctly WTF)

M and J TV

he's smart but not funny. I actually have a lot to say here, when his videos are meant to educate they are pretty good. but when he tries to be funny it backfires, he has a tendency to fall back on running jokes, I mean how often have you heard "floor tentacles" "can I get a hail yeah" what the f**k happened to the floor" "PHOTOSYNTHESIS" and "I hate miltank" on his channel. a hell of a lot. the only time his wit and comedy were combined properly was in pokemon talk, and while I respect his choice to put it on hold, his content has gotten far more stale since. also he like showing himself and his girlfriend shirtless in thumbnails for clickbait so there's that too

Mr1upz

honestly he's just really funny and makes unique content, nothing else to say

TheAuraGuardian

I'm split on him, at first I found him entertaining but when he did troll video after troll video I started to lose interest, not to mention his videos are not grabbing my attention like I used too

trickywi

has she completely moved to twitch or something? I never see her on youtube anymore

tyranitartube

think the opposite of M and J. he's hilarious but not super bright, but at the same time he knows this and is able to make great content by essentially playing "the idol" but in a funny way. he's not brick dumb though and has his moments of genius so this whole idiot act may very well just be an act.

one thing I want to bring up about him and M and J is how they handle lets plays. I never subscribed to M and J plays but I did watch his lets plays when he did them on his main channel. and I noticed one difference between thamil and michel, michel does the bare minimum, he plays the game and nothing else while thamil is super involved. think about it everyone who watches thamil knows about damage,mavis,shurda,scar,kanga jr, king ect. but are there any pokemon that you remember from M and J's playthroughs? I can't. a good comparison is when both youtubers played pokemon insurgence. when michel played he did the bare minimum, he never got attached to any pokemon, wasn't invested in the story, hell he turned the game on easy mode because he thought it was too hard. meanwhile thamil took his time, played on normal mode (he even did it as a nuzloke on top of that), and got super attached to his pokemon. sorry about making this section so long I just wanted to put my thoughts somewhere, anyway on with the rest

weedle twineedle

its cool to see weedle pull off so many janky strategies, and a little bit of showdown salt is always fun

anyway, that's all the poketubers I'm subscribed to and my thoughts on them. I'll probably do one on fnaf youtubers another time
