Announcer memes and Mondegreens: PRChase *Insert one of PBR's announcer's quotes here* Explanation PRChase is the emote chosen to represent PBR's announcer in the chat. Pedro Ronald Chase Explanation PBR's annoucer's nickname, due to the emote used to represent him being PRChase. PRChase = PBR Chase (no space)

D'OH! Explanation The new announcer loves using this in his lines. Naturally, Homer Simpson comparisons ensue.

Oooooh OneHand Explanation Another common expression the announcer loves using in his lines, which the mob often interprets in the most perverted way possible. The OneHand emote is associated with pervertedness due to its association with Deku and Blaziken.

BEH! Explanation ...And another one.

COMPLETE DESTRUCTION BY SHADOW FORCE! Explanation What the announcer yells when something is KO'd by Shadow Force. One of the few lines the Mob actually finds kind of cool.

Something strange... Distortion! What's this...? The colosseum...! WutFace Explanation The announcer's narmtastic way of referring to when Trick Room is up quickly became a major meme within the chat, to the point people will want to use Trick Room just for the sake of hearing it, even if it costs them the match. SAY THE LINE BabyRage Explanation The announcer only has a random chance of saying the line, and the chat does not like it when he decides to not speak.

The end of the battle is getting closer by the minute! / The battle has reached its final stage! Explanation Said by the announcer during battles where only one Pokémon is left on a team. Often used sarcastically by the chat when it's said during a super stall-y one (along with comments like "closer by the hour" or "year").

The air in the colosseum... is tents! / The battle is getting in tents! Explanation Mondegreen of the announcer's speech. It's obviously supposed to be "The battle is getting intense".

Slllllimed by SpongeBob! Explanation Mondegreen of the announcer's phrase for when Sludge Bomb KO's a Pokémon, the original of which was 'Sllllimed by Sludge Bomb!'. The second someone pointed out how much it sounded like the phrase there, it quickly took off with the chat. SoonerLater Explanation This emote was often used with the above message for some reason, until chat began using it alone. LaterSooner Explanation In early 2017, the above emote was replaced (originally a grinning white guy, the replaced emote being a rather demonic face). Chat begin using replacement text, perhaps to keep the spirit while not generate the new unfitting emote.

ToxICROOOOAK EleGiggle Explanation The announcer pronounces Toxicroak by drawing out the end part of its name when it attacks . Naturally, it quickly caught on with the chat. In one situation it didn't end particularly well. HEAAATRAAAAAAAN

SWAMPED SMOrc Explanation Whenever the announcer says "Swamped by Hydro Pump!" The SMOrc emote looks kinda like Shrek , who is known to be quite proud of his swamp.

RARE LINE Explanation Said in the chat whenever the announcer says a line that is rarely heard. This is often because said line requires a certain move or type of move to be used in a specific situation that doesn't happen often.

Can't moo! Explanation Mondegreen of the announcer saying "[Pokemon's name] can't move!"

Carefully PLANNING their strategy Explanation Announcer gets impatient when the player takes a long time to select their move. Most often happened in PBR 1 .0 when the Blue team would repeatedly select an unavailable move to perform an input "switch glitch".

Not So Good Explanation "It seems that its physical condition is, NOT SO GOOD." Said by the announcer when a damaged Pokémon is switched in. Perhaps an opposite to the SeemsGood emote, of a guy giving a thumbs-up.

SHITS OUT THEIR POKÉMON Explanation When both teams switch their Pokémon on the same turn, sometimes the announcer says "The x Corner shifts out their Pokémon as well." for the second team.

That just goes to show ya, ya never know what'll happen in a Pokemon battle. Explanation One of the announcer's lines for when an attacking Pokemon causes a double-KO due to recoil damage. UNBELIEVABLE! The Pokemon that just USED the move went down! I'll bet the trainer wasn't expecting that! Explanation And this is the other.

Colosseum introduction monologues TRULY MOVING BibleThump Explanation Sunset Colosseum POET Explanation On Stargazer Colosseum, the announcer has a very lengthy introduction, "Millions of stars flicker in the night as we stand on this meterorite..." GIANT POKEMON PogChamp Explanation When two large Pokemon, such as Groudon vs. Kyogre, lead off, he may say "WOW! Giant Pokemon sure do make this Colosseum look tiny."

LEAF THORM Explanation The announcer pronounces Leaf Storm... oddly. TOKEN THORM Explanation Occasionally, large amounts of tokens will be given out at once during the sidegame: these are called "token storms", or "token thorms" as a reference to the above.

AAAAGH WutFace Explanation An unusually intense reaction from the announcer, chat often responds to this line with fear and concern for the announcer's safety.

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ DONGER RAIN ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ Explanation The new victory animation shows the Pokémon symbol for money falling down in the color of the losing team. Naturally, the winning team loves spamming this.

PAYOUT BOIS Explanation Alternate victory celebration, BORT emotes optional. Used when the odds actually allow a good payout.

All in on *Insert gen V or above Pokémon here* Explanation The new team preview shows roulette of different Pokémon to keep people from betting early. This includes Pokémon that aren't in PBR, since it only goes up to Gen IV. Naturally, the chat loves poking fun whenever future gen Pokémon are on the wheel.

Negative betting Explanation ◊ , resulting in the odds system going nuts, and always ending in a tie. Needless to say, trolls loved abusing it to hold up the stream. Thanks to an oversight in the PBR betting coding, people could bet negative numbers , resulting in the odds system going nuts, and always ending in a tie. Needless to say, trolls loved abusing it to hold up the stream.

The fog is deep... Explanation One of the colosseums in the game has a high chance to be covered in a fog, which lowers the accuracy of all moves, even those with one hundred percent. Needless to say, it quickly became a Scrappy Mechanic with the Mob as well as the only hope for the underdogs to win certain token matches.

FogChamp PogChamp Explanation Similar to above; a play on the "PogChamp" emote. It eventually became an official TPP stream emote, tppFogChamp.

Lord Mouse Cursor! Explanation ◊ . Cue immediate jokes about it being the turn owner of Pokétopia. During the stream, the streamer's mouse cursor appears on the video sometimes . Cue immediate jokes about it being the turn owner of Pokétopia.

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ BLAME CHAUZUヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ Explanation Chauzu_VGC is a rather famous top better on the stream, managing to win with a lot of underdog teams. This makes him a prime target for others to follow in hopes for free money. During one day, though, he got a rather big unlucky streak and lost several matches, a lot of which were easy wins. Whether or not they were really his fault or not is up to debate, but several people started blaming him for the loses, while his supports fiercely defended him. Not long after, it become a meme to rather jokingly blame him for stuff, be it loses from RNG hax, early draws, or stream crashes.

Never bet on Deoxys! Explanation Like his "father" before him, Deoxys is slowly turning into PBR's new Entei.

POKÉMON IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! PogChamp Explanation Seismic Toss's animation involves throwing Pokémon into space. Needless to say, it became an instant hit with the chat. Made even funnier that Seismic Toss deals damage equal to the user's level, and, since every Pokémon in TPP's PBR is level 100, it will always deal 100 damage, often resulting in comments like "The Pokémon was thrown in space and took almost no damage?! DansGame ". Guys, Seismic Toss is super-effective! OpieOP Explanation Since Seismic Toss always deals fixed damage, it makes no difference whether or not it's super-effective against the opposing Pokémon. Some people aren't aware of this and will use Seismic Toss against a foe weak to Fighting-type moves instead of a move that would actually deal more damage, resulting in other people saying this.

Cancer / Ebola / [Other horrible disease] matches WutFace Explanation Often used to refer to matches that go on for an excruciatingly long time.

Vaporeon VS Milotic Explanation Vaporeon and Milotic are infamous due to being major Stone Walls , and have movesets that are set for that. Naturally, trolls love donating to make them face each other, resulting in matches that rival Metapod VS Kakuna in terms of length. BibleThump VAPOREON X MILOTIC NEW OTP BibleThump Explanation During a routine troll match featuring the two, they were the last two out, and the music that ended up playing was " Emotion " from Pokémon Black and White. Cue cryot, with lore quickly forming around the two being Star-Crossed Lovers who are forced to fight each other for the amusement of trolls.

Metapod, Vaporeon, and Ditto VS Kakuna, Milotic, and Wobbuffet. Explanation A donation match that resulted in one of the most infamously longest matches in TPP history. To give you an idea, while Metapod and Kakuna usually lasts thirty minutes, this match lasted for a solid hour, hitting the match time limit for the first time in TPP history! This and some other ridiculously tedious matchups were eventually banned by the Streamer. CANCER Explanation The Mob decided to call these types of matchups "Cancer Matches" because they hate stall tactics.

I'll say it again - Nkekev is scum and no matter the good things he has done from the community he has proven to be the biggest cancer of it for months now Explanation Nkekev is another big name better in the community, who often also trolls by donating for match setups that go on for hours on ends. While he's certainly not the only one doing that, and arguably there are others who do it a LOT more than him , after several days of getting matches like that in a row, combined with one of his donations resulting in an especially long match, he quickly became the spear head for people who disliked this trend, with this phase being copy pasted repeatedly in the chat during said match.

Trap matches Explanation A type of donation match where it seems like one team is obviously going to win at first glance, like a team full of legendaries, but the other team has something going for it like a set up or ability that assures victory. Usually used to get massive payouts for smarter betters. Reverse trap match Explanation Used to refer to when a trap match goes horribly wrong through RNG , resulting in the trapped team winning, or when it seems like a trap match, but isn't.

Game of Throws Explanation A pun on Game of Thrones , this is when both teams make bad move choices (intentionally or not) that might "throw" (lose) the match for their own team. Sometimes applies when one team makes ridiculously terrible choices, like repeatedly trying to use a move that has no effect.

Communications with the Wii Remote have been interrupted. Explanation A bug that cropped up many times, halting the game until the streamer did a reset. Strangely, the game was on an emulator, so there was no Wii Remote to get disconnected from.

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ SOMEONE DONATE 1000 DONGERS OR RIOT ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ Explanation After a day of repeated donations in a row, someone donated over 100 dollars to the streamer. Naturally, the stream went nuts, until people started demanding someone donate over 1000 dollars to the streamer.

༼ ͡ ͡° ͜ ͡ ͡° ༽ Explanation In preparation for the Anniversary Red run, the streamer unbanned markup dongers. This quickly became the donger spammed in the chat once it happened.

Kappa // Wow 0/10 to the person who thought of this request, APPLAUSE CLAP CLAP LADY GAGA APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE. Kappa // Explanation Used in response to donation matches that pop up a ridiculous number of times, with legendary battles, starter battles, or version exclusive evolution line battles being the most common perpetrators.

Do you remember the episode where Ash "X"? Explanation Started with a random (not true) comment about 'Remember that episode where Ash caught a Pumbloom?' and continued from there, with other comments about stuff like 'Remember that episode where Ash kissed Misty?' or 'Remember that episode where Ash won a Pokémon League?' and so on and so forth.

KAPOW for honor / [team] has no honor Explanation Explosion and Self-Destruct are very popular moves . The chat will always try to use them if it makes even the slightest strategic sense, or to go out with a bang if their team was doomed anyway. The "KAPOW" emote gets spammed when they're hoping for an explosion, and even more when they actually explode . Failing to explode results in the chat lamenting the team's lack of "honor". DISRESPECT Explanation Winning a match by defeating the opponent by using a very weak attack move (such as Poison Sting or Gust) when a stronger option was available. Perhaps considered disrespect as the input lag makes deliberately selecting moves without planning ahead difficult.

Hey, this is an automated message from dekuNukem. I'm currently too busy being rekt by Animefan at Mario Kart to fix the lag on the stream. Please leave a ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ RIOT ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ after the beep. Explanation During a routine PBR stream, the stream started lagging horrendously, and continued to do so for hours. This was spammed in the chat for pretty much the entirety, with Deku being busy at Mario Kart being why he didn't fix the stream. (And may have also been the reason it was lagging so badly.) R.I.P. Deku's PC.OneHand Explanation The other common explanation is that Deku's PC ended up dying.

What about sturdy!? / WTF sturdy!? / HAX sturdy didn't work! Explanation In Generation IV, Sturdy can only block OHKO moves like Horn Drill. Despite this, a lot of people seem convinced that Sturdy works like it does in Gen V / VI, where it acts as a free Focus Sash, and often start raging when a Pokémon with Sturdy gets one shotted, much to the amusement of those who know better.

Nascour's theme Explanation Whenever the music on the stream is silenced (either due to a track not looping or it being broken entirely), it is stated to be Nascour's battle theme from Pokémon Colosseum , as Nascour is notorious for having no music during his battle.

FRZ PogChamp / Will this ice ever melt?! / Let it go Explanation "Freeze hax" were somehow even more popular this time around, and people preemptively called FRZ every time any attack that might freeze was used (and sometimes even for ones that can't, like Aurora Beam). While a mon was frozen, or the match was stalled for any other reason, the announcer's narmy "Will this ice ever melt?!" would get spammed in chat. "Let it go" was a common variation, for obvious reasons.

You get a token! And you get a token! Look under your seats! Everyone gets a token! Explanation One free "token" was given away to one of the voters in each round of Crystal inputs. (Tokens allowed you to choose matchups in PBR, if you had enough to outbid everyone else.) You could also buy tokens, one per dollar, by donating, and you could add tokens to the "pool" given away during the next input. At one point, just to see what would happen, some generous players donated for about 100 tokens and dumped them all into one input giveaway. Almost everyone in the chat got one or two; many references were made to Oprah and her tendency to give over-the-top gifts to her studio audience.

Deku bet *insert losing team here* confirmed. Explanation Whenever the stream goes down in the middle of a match, the chat accuses Deku of doing it because he bet the losing team.

WORDS WutFace Explanation Due to emulation errors, occasionally one of the textures used for a visual effect in PBR is replaced with some text, usually (if not always) a Pokémon's name. In cases where it's large enough and/or on screen long enough to be legible, some people say what it says instead.

GRILL! PogChamp Explanation During the end of a routine match, the background that usually pops up during the results didn't happen, allowing a brief look behind the scenes at the main PBR menu, showing a receptionist of Pokétopia. Naturally, the chat went nuts upon sight of her.

KAPOW Aloha Snackbar KAPOW Explanation A mutation of "Allahu Akbar," the memetic phrase supposedly shouted by terrorists before they blow themselves up. Often spammed when Explosion or Self-Destruct is used.

OpieOP ICE IS SUPER EFFECTIVE ON BUG OpieOP Explanation It isn't. However, due to winter, and by extension, ice, killing off bugs in real life, a vast portion of the chat seems to believe this is the case due to Logical Fallacies . It's often ended up throwing a few easily-won matches before, and is now something trolls / the opposing team tries to encourage in hopes the other team will end up throwing.

!Lopunny / Gardevoir / Lucario OneHand Explanation Whenever some more... Interesting Pokédex descriptions pop up during an intermission, expect to see one of the three commonly pop up in the chat.

!kobra / !kum / !PIKACHU Explanation Deliberately guessing wrong the ad-intermission Pokémon, as there is no reward for getting it right and someone is likely to have guessed it within seconds of it appearing anyway. Almost guaranteed when a Sdrawkcab Name is involved.

What is a shiny? OpieOP / Shinies don't exist Kappa / Shiny hype. Kappa Explanation Ever since it was implemented almost a few years ago now, shiny Pokémon have rarely been picked yet for a match, despite showing up in the roulette rather frequently. Naturally, people love to poke fun at this, from joking that shinies don't exist to saying the streamer decreased their probability of getting picked in PBR Platinum. One time a shiny was picked, it was a shiny Metagross with a very overpowered moveset [2] SHINY Gastrodon Explanation Shellos and Gastrodon have different forms in Sinnoh, whether they are found in the west or east half of the region. The West Sea (pink and brown) form is normally seen, but when the East Sea form (blue and green) is picked, chatters will claim its a shiny, even though its normal (though each form does have its own shiny).

FLAWLESS VICTORY! Explanation Whenever a team manages to win without losing a single Pokémon, expect this phrase to pop up in the chat shortly after.

Cyndy Explanation The red trainer's card appeared at one point, revealing that his name is "Cyndy." This being kind of a Gender-Blender Name , he'll probably Never Live It Down

LAST MATCH Explanation There was no way to tell when intermission was going to start, so in the last few hours, pretty much every match was supposedly the last one, which makes people spend a lot of the "tokens" they get in the stream for dramatic purposes... only to find out that it still wasn't the last match

OpieOP RNG FAVORS OVER / UNDERDOGES OpieOP Explanation Whenever a particularly long winning streak for either the under or over dogs happens, or extreme crazy RNG turns around what should have been an easy win, people will often spam this in the chat, saying the team somehow got on RNGs favorable side.

Twitch Plays PBR is amazing; it conveys a lot of emotions. After the throw part in the middle, it sounds like you have no chance of winning, but then the top better quickly recovers and you feel full of hope again. It keeps alternating between tragicness and epicness. Finally, everything goes downhill when RNG picks 1% Memento. Explanation A variation of the "This song is amazing" copypasta that pretty much sums up Twitch Plays PBR in a nutshell.

No more / more No More Heroes Explanation Started during a day when No More Heroes music kept getting selected and played for a vast majority of the day, and quickly divided a gap between the chat between those who loved and hated the music. Now it's use to troll with certain people bidding for it whenever someone requests a certain song to be play, or when people complain about No More Heroes music. (Note that all the songs from No More Heroes have the same basic, repetitive melody .)

#RIPNintendoServers Explanation On the day when new DLC was announced for Smash 4, three new characters included, the Mob found out Nintendo's eShop had died within the first five seconds after the Nintendo Direct had ended. Naturally, they found it painfully hilarious, as many wanted to download the new DLC too.

SO BRAVE BibleThump Explanation Whenever Brave Bird is used. It does a very large amount of recoil damage, so the crying face emote represents their Heroic Sacrifice . If a member of Zubat's line uses it, they're a "brave bat".

DEMON ANNOUNCER / DEMON VOICE WutFace Explanation Whenever the emulator drops below 30FPS, the sound, and by extension the announcer, will distort because the game was not intended to drop below 30 on actual hardware. Moves that throw off alot of particles will very often cause the framerate to drop that low for a few seconds. Strangely, this distorted voice sounds almost exactly like the Voice of the Legion

DatSheffy Throw Police Explanation The DatSheffy emote looks sort of like a police officer, who shows up to "arrest" people for throwing matches.

Cancer Cat Explanation More recently, Delcatty has had its moveset changed to have all non-attacking moves. The only way it can attack is by using Assist, which randomly chooses a move from the other Pokémon on it's team. If its teammates have poor attacking moves, it can end up taking a very long time to deal damage. This isn't that bad on it's own, but when paired with a Ditto or Mew opponent that's transformed, matches can last a very long time. Has also been used to hilarious effect with Pokémon on the team that can self-KO.

[Something] Entei... TriHard Explanation Legendaries all have terrible movesets for the sake of balance, often making them unexpectedly weak. Entei was infamous for this in the old Stadium game, so other legendaries are treated like they're just variants of Entei; Raikou is "Yellow Entei," Articuno is "Flying Ice Entei," etc. Darkrai and Deoxys are especially infamous for this.

LADY/LORD CHERRIM WutFace Explanation One day, the emulator froze when a female Cherrim, who was on the Blue team, with Spikes in effect, used Seed Bomb. PBR was frozen on that scene for about 6-7+ hours. Eventually, the match would timeout as a draw after 90 minutes. The stream would then proceed to ELF'S WORLD and then attempt to load another PBR match, only to return to the frozen scene with Cherrim. During the betting time the stream was able to change some of their favorite meme songs, including Unwavering Emotions, Pepsiman and DENNIS. #CherrimsRevenge WutFace Explanation The very next day, the stream would break again for several hours. This time instead of a freeze it was a relatively common bug with the bot that selects all of the Pokémon the trainers use during the matches getting stuck. Not that this stopped anyone from concluding Cherrim to have returned.

#JUMPEMPOLEON Explanation A nonsensical comment from a top bettor who in his match tried to use toxic on a steel type and sat on spikes after three layers were up as if it would layer on even more. Presumably, the comment was meant to be over trying to have Empoleon jump a Dig attack. Naturally, it became famous with the chat over n00b bettors who don't know the game mechanics.

TouhouGirlz Explanation A user by this name likes to spam forced memes in the chat, such as #KarateChoppers. Even after she stopped, people will still bring it up. Comparisons to TerrierC have also occured.

WutFace test passed/failed Explanation One of the reasons the Streamer picks PBR music is based on how much the WutFace emote is spammed when they pop up (or maybe it wasn't the Streamer's idea, but just the idea of who was in charge of music at the time). Naturally, the chat has a field day with it.

WRONG DansGame Explanation Among the songs available as battle music are the themes of each colosseum from the original Pokémon Battle Revolution video game. Whenever one of these songs comes up and the stream picks a non-matching colosseum, the chat expresses its disgust. Much more rarely, when the stream does pick the matching colosseum, the chat reacts with "CORRECT PogChamp".

AZ BORT ELF Explanation An extension of Vietnamese Crystal's ELF BORT meme used to refer to the Pokémon Azelf. Its fellow members in the legendary trio are often referred to as MES BORT PRIT and UX BORT IE.
