- 0:04The group introduces a Black Version 2 playthrough using Challenge Mode and Set battle rules.
- 3:00Professor Juniper's introduction prompts a debate about whether Minccino is a cat or a mouse.
- 5:35The hosts begin pitching names for their trainer, before naming the rival.
- 12:12Aspertia City's introduction becomes an opportunity for Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan impressions.
- 18:27Bianca presents Tepig, Oshawott and Snivy at the town's scenic overlook.
Super Beard Bros has a serious question before anyone gets a starter Pokémon: which one would Forrest Gump choose? Magikarp, Slowpoke and a shrimp-like Clauncher all get nominations in the comments. It is a suitably sideways welcome to a new adventure.
"Pokémon Black Version 2 | Ep. #1 | Fancy Cats and Sneaky Mice" was the most watched of the week's six uploads, reaching about 10,000 views. Alex Faciane is on the controls, with Brett Bayonne, Jirard Khalil and Ted joining the commentary. They begin with Challenge Mode unlocked and choose Set battle rules to make things harder. Then there are more pressing matters: whether Minccino is a fancy cat or a sneaky mouse, and what to name their trainer.
The leisurely introduction doesn't reach Bianca and her three starter Pokémon until well into the episode. Viewers are discussing the less familiar Challenge Mode alongside the Gump casting exercise, with one surprised that the option exists at all.
Elsewhere, Batman gets his appointment with the Joker in "Batman: Arkham Asylum | Ep. #23 | Finale". The weekly bonus opens another door with 2XKO: Brett brings plenty of experience, while Alex starts from scratch in Riot's tag-team fighter. Majora's Mask continues too, and its newest episode has the strongest daily viewing momentum, followed by the Pokémon debut.
Subscribers held steady, while today's channel-wide viewing is well below its usual daily level. Among similarly sized variety-gaming channels, Floydsonson had a particularly substantial week of subscriber growth; SonicSong182 was quieter. For Super Beard Bros, the week's distinctive change is on the playlist: an Arkham ending and a Pokémon beginning, complete with a Forrest Gump starter debate.
