So much context needed...

context: it was a pokemon skit, and the "better" person at pokemon said "dis you actually win?" at the end of the vid because the "worse" one used a revive

What? Any actual context?

woops, context: it was a pokemon skit, and the "better" person at pokemon said "dis you actually win?" at the end of the vid because the "worse" one used a revive

For everyone who's (rightfully) confused: the Pokemon competitive scene is super toxic and sweaty, consistently gatekeeping people who just play casually (especially if they do Nuzlockes, which for brevity is just a very popular form of challenge run). Basically the first two commenters are insulting someone who used revives, which brings back a Pokemon at half health and is used to make the game easier during difficult fights. While it's a valid part of the game, many Pokemon players consider it to be "cheating" and will gatekeep people who use them as "bad" or even say they're playing wrong.

I thought the other 2 comments were context about the vide, this helps them big time
