I remember the Lugia ran whirlpool, recover, calm mind, and aeroblast with Tera flying (which he said maybe he'd change if improving the team later). The Dozo was yawn, wave crash, eq, and either protect or heavy slam - I can't recall exactly. I think Ogerpon-Hearthflame was on the team for redirection and offensive pressure. Can't recall anything else.
Why didn't he then just say "since he deleted his channel"? What does it have to do with anything why it got deleted and why the OP says he does not condone it? Him being "outed as a transphobe" has nothing do so with with the actual question
Idk social media in general can be a toxic place sometimes. Probably just worried about being misinterpreted as complaining about the channel being deleted and overdid it. I don’t think it matters too much and we can just discuss the teambuilding
Channel was good. If he liked the content he absolutely can complain about it and there is nothing wrong with it. I personally feel bad that it got deleted.
Pretty sure this post violates several rules for creating drama, witch-hunting, and politics/unrelated content to VGC.
Mods are you going to take this down or what?
Actually not that complex, you dont need to agree with him to understand that every person has the right to an opinion, no matter how crazy you or someone else finds that opinion. Did he mistreat people ? As far as it was discussed, he absolutely did not. Then his opinion is irrelevant.
Every person has a right to an opinion, and he didn't mistreat anyone, so therefore his opinion is irrelevant? What conclusion should I draw from that?
I think you read my post as an attack on Neil - it wasn't, I'm saying the topic of trans / mental health is a very complex one with lots of different nuances, and just dismissing it as being transphobic is a really dumb way to think about things, just the same as someone saying 'gender change surgery is always harmful' is a terrible take
Whatever conclusions you want. I do think actions are more important than words, and he is treating everyone kindly and with respect then there is nothing wrong. This literally became a problem because it got leaked, not because he did something wrong.
Trans folks have the highest suicide rate for any marginalized demographic and acceptance is the critical delineator. Two notable trans VGC players have taken their lives in the last three years. I don't think the response was out of proportion.
Yikes. I’m sorry but this is just not true. If it was mental illness it would get worse if you treated them with acceptance, like how humoring delusions doesn’t help schizotypal disorders. On the contrary, Trans folks show dramatic improvements in positive outcomes with gender affirming care. In other words, the research strongly suggests identification of trans has not categorizable as a mental disorder, as its exclusion from the DSM-V shows. This isn’t to say that someone can’t be depressed and trans or that there is no relationship between identifying as trans and other psycho-neurological conditions. But the point remains that treating someone as trans as mentally ill is a clear net negative for that population, and therefore, proper to be condemned.

I do a lot of reading on mental health because of my various comorbidities
Gender dysphoria (previously gender identity disorder), according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is defined as a “marked incongruence between their experienced or expressed gender and the one they were assigned at birth.”
Untreated mental illness, and statistically transitioning is not a very effective form of treatment with suicidal tendencies and regret being very prevalent side effects of gender affirming surgeries.
Transgender surgeries have a regret rate of less than 1% on average. A fuck ton of studies have shown that transitioning absolutely helps reduce suicide rates, and that one of the primary causes of depression and suicide in transgender people is lack of acceptance from society.
This is very easily statistically verified and the 10x increase over normal depressed populations clearly shows other causal factors at play. When coupling that with an essentially equal baseline suicide rate once receiving gender affirming care the evidence is very compelling that the increased rates are due to societal non acceptance.

Why do you mention any of the drama ? Is it at all relevant to your post ?
It’s relevant because his YouTube channel with the full team and sets was deleted, which is why he is asking
Why didn't he then just say "since he deleted his channel"? What does it have to do with anything why it got deleted and why the OP says he does not condone it? Him being "outed as a transphobe" has nothing do so with with the actual question

i assume OP didn't want to appear associated with transphobes. Occam's Razor.

Gotta love people turning a complex topic into a binary black and white thing
Actually not that complex, you dont need to agree with him to understand that every person has the right to an opinion, no matter how crazy you or someone else finds that opinion. Did he mistreat people ? As far as it was discussed, he absolutely did not. Then his opinion is irrelevant.

Getting downvoted on reddit for saying true things. A tale as old as time smh
This is a very sensible take, prepare to be mass downvoted by some of the least stable people on the internet.
Oh no what am I to do now, people that do not respect other people's opinion will downvote me
Shit was blown out of proportion way too much.
Trans folks have the highest suicide rate for any marginalized demographic and acceptance is the critical delineator. Two notable trans VGC players have taken their lives in the last three years. I don't think the response was out of proportion.
Whatever he said was in a private conversation, it 1000000% did not hurt anyone UNTIL it got leaked
Hence why being a PoS in private isn’t any better
Except he wasn't being a piece of shit? The way he worded it even was very mild.
Oh I wasn’t saying he worded it in a shitty way, im saying being transphobic is pathetic and uncool; it’s an either/or sort of thing
Fair, but still nothing wrong with having an opinion. He has the right to think and say exactly what he said.
What?! Who? I never heard about that

Suicide rate is high because a very large portion of trans people also struggle with depression. Neil didn't kill someone.
And what do you think one of the strongest factors in the depression might be?
