Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Guess the Pokemon, but you only get their SHAPES

How much of a Pokémon can you remove before it stops being recognizable? Peter and Shannon's DeliciousJames channel put that question to work in its only new upload, "Guess the Pokemon, but you only get their SHAPES," which reached roughly 117,000 views in its first 12 hours.

The quiz recreates Pokémon using simple shapes and colors, then challenges FlygonHG, PulseEffects, Chris Piche and SuspiciousJamesGames to identify them. The description gives the exercise a preschool-style premise, but the comments suggest that knowing your Pokémon is only part of the job. Viewers discuss Chris's reasoning toward unexpected answers, while one singles out how adding a triangle suddenly made Kirlia recognizable. Others point to an object-permanence joke involving the disappearing title and Peter's teacherly approach to hosting.

The new quiz carries the channel's strongest momentum right now. Behind it is "I made a Pokemon Adventure Game and forced YouTubers to play," a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired creation mixing Pokémon battles with puzzles. Its teams include PM7 and MandJTV, plus CushYT and Vandy323.

DeliciousJames added about a thousand subscribers over the week, although its current daily views are below their usual pace. Among nearby variety-gaming channels, Floydsonson had a particularly busy week; DeliciousJames also drew a substantial weekly audience, larger than ThatGuyZan's or Underdogs Gaming's.

The older "Guess the Pokemon, but they're POORLY described" remains another active draw. That quiz uses descriptions from the creator or Peter's mom, giving the channel two distinctly different ways to make familiar creatures difficult to recognize: fewer visual clues, or less helpful words.

I recognized the bleh card from Zanes video of "funny moves only" and I'm pretty sure that is at least one of the places Shannon has seen it.
