Elo World REDUX: Scientifically Ranking the Pokémon Red Trainers AGAIN - Level 50 AI Tournament pimanrules 2021-10-11 | In this video, I fix some of the issues with my original "Ranking the Pokémon Red Trainers" video, and run a brand new tournament with those changes. Most notably, I flatten all the Pokémon to level 50, the way competitive Pokémon tournaments are run.

This is what some people wanted anyway so I'm gonna try not to beat myself up over it (but uuuuugggghhhhh)16:50 - That is so obviously not the sound ə makes. That's like the one IPA symbol everyone learns in elementary school. My excuse was that my brain was on total autopilot--I just copied the phonetic transcription of "hello," not realizing that "hello" is really pronounced more like "hullo" in most cases33:17 - I say Wrap does "basically no damage." Of course, it's actually doing no damage because Gastly is Ghost type, but the effect still triggers because Gen I.50:51 - Obviously I meant EVs instead of IVs
