Recent Developments in RBY OU

This took a whole lot longer than expected but it's finally done, what originally was gonna be a section in my last RBY vid has actually turned out to be nearly twice as long as said video!

I went in expecting this to just be a look into how a few key Pokémon were doing at the moment, and it grew into a video delving into things like Link Battle RNG, absurdly niche options like Aerodactyl, and a whooole lot of Victreebel.

Massive thanks to Shellnuts, Teh, Cake and Enigami for helping me with this video, this was a huge undertaking and wouldn't have been possible without them!

Lastly, special thanks to Shellnuts for his documentation relating to Link Battle RNG and being a huge help in helping me understand it the best I could, it's really interesting and there's more to it that isn't mentioned here, so please make sure to check out his post in the sources below if you're interested, along with Sabelette's posts documenting the earlier discoveries from February!
