Tony "Verlis" Gatto / Verlisify / Verliswolf - The butthurt poke-furfag who cried wolf

[GingerDixie]

Here's a great example of how cringey and downright exceptional this guy is.

In this video, he records himself playing against a random player online. The "gimmick" for this video is that Verlisify is wearing a blindfold during the battle.
Now, anyone who has played Pokemon online against another person is aware that sometimes people just put their DS down and walk away and do other shit. The game will still keep playing for you by selecting the first move in your slot after a certain period of time. This is obviously a young child (judging by their avatar and terrible moveset) who has put their DS down and isn't hitting any buttons, but Verlisify is too triggered by this person "timer stalling" to ever realize this. For the entirety of the 30 minute video. Even after he watches the entire video again to "recap" what just happened already a few minutes before. He is also triggered heavily because the opponent's Pokemon is shiny and must be "hacked". All of these Pokemon are available in their shiny form either through recent events or are available through a simple playthrough of the game.
Despite being a Poketuber he only has one or two videos of him actually playing Pokemon, but here's one. It's obvious why he doesn't upload more. He only manages to knock out one of his opponent's Pokemon the entire battle.

OH! Shiny! Hacker alert!

Or maybe it was the free Red Gyarados fucking everyone gets, dude. Even if it's not, fish shinies are not that fucking hard to find, ESPECIALLY Magikarp. I know he was blindfolded, but come on, dude. Shinies are not so rare anymore if you know how to get them, and even a 12 year old can do it now if he has access to the internet. Tl;dr, lol calm down.

Spoiler: Pokesperging below

Also, as someone who also does competitive Pokemon battling, the battle with that other Poketuber was so fucking painful to watch. I would have looked at that guy's team and known that he had three on there that had Intimidate as a possibility and not make the physical attacker the focus. There's a whole slew of alternate strats he could of used, especially with a fucking Aegislash, but at the risk of not making myself sound like a total sped I won't get into it. Not to mention his moveset was shit too.

ORAS super training increases the EVs (effort values you get by beating other pokemon), Sun and Moon Hyper training increases IV (internal values that can't be changed but can be manipulated with breeding) but only if your pokemon is level 100 and you have a "bottlecap" item.

He thinks it increases cheating because "Cheaters will keep cheating and nobody will be able to tell if their perfect team was hacked because anyone can create a perfect iv team now!"Regardless if that logic is valid or not, i think he is so mad because he knows this affects HIM more than anyone. Since it will be so easy to get a perfect team, he can't simply call other players hackers just because they have a perfect IV team. Hell, i'm sure many casual player will bring their previously IV screwed shinies for battle now, it's like his worst nightmare.

Verlisify being upset about Hyper Training in Sun and Moon is a weird logical fallacy. Imagine that you've just saved up and bought a car. Instead of being happy about owning a car, you are furious about all the time you wasted in the past year walking to your destination when you could've been driving a car you did not and could not own yet.
Or, to put it this way:
"I spent literally thousands of hours playing Bicycle Simulator and soft resetting my game, so everyone else should, too." -- Verlisify, 2016
I actually did the math on competitive legendaries, and, without getting too technical, in order to (statistically) get ONE to use competitively that isn't "hacked", you would have to soft reset your game over 65,000 times. Assuming soft resetting takes about 45 seconds (which is generous), you would have to spend five weeks resetting your game. This doesn't include necessary breaks to eat, sleep, or the daily existential depressive sob session that accompanies this type of lifestyle. Keep in mind that last year's top teams had a bare minimum of two legendaries in their teams.
In comparison, we have the VGC 2016 World Champion, an American named Wolfe (no furry relation) Glick. Verlisify has made video after video bemoaning Wolfe's existence, attacking him for being a "hacker". His one and only argument? That Wolfe Glick's Raichu was in a different Pokeball. That's it. Wolfe recently released a video describing his World's team, including pages upon pages of calculations he had to memorize, and practicing against every conceivable opponent's team. Instead of playing Bike Simulator 2014.

Important: note the lack of pasty skin, gay anime googles and fuck-me-in-the-ass Pokeball choker.
Wolfe actually respectfully reached out to Verlisify at first, instead of being angry and defensive. Needless to say, it didn't work out very well.
But, you know, what really, really astounds me about Verlis is the comment section of his videos. Go and click on one of his drama-infused callout videos. You'll see the like / dislike ratio is approximately 50/50. Scroll down even further and you'll see that every single comment on the video is a positive one, supporting Verlis's opinion. Note his subscriber count is over 280,000, and that he releases at least one video a day. That means he literally goes through thousands and thousands of comments, every single fucking day, reading all of them, and deleting any ones that are even slightly critical.
Here's a fun experiment for you. Go ahead, write a negative comment. Ask him how it feels to have your ass pumped by a 38-year-old man who's wearing a fursuit of their Lion King OC. Do it on a popular video that's just been released, or an old video. Doesn't matter. I guaran-fucking-tee you it will be gone in under 3 hours. Sometimes in much less time.
Really, though, Verlisify profits from any and all publicity, good and bad. He's gotten views and money from this thread alone. A succès de scandale, if you will. You gain views from drama. You gain money from views. You don't lose money from dislikes. He just executes enough damage control to retain a net subscriber gain. Deletes what he can, blocks or ignores what he can't, and milks drama wherever he sees a low-hanging cash udder. Really, we must put some of the blame on YouTube as a company for allowing someone to not just make enough to pay for groceries and rent, but to allow them to go on extravagant vacations on cruise ships.

Wasn't Wolfe the one the Pokemon company defended? They said he didn't hack his Pokemon and that the Raichu was allowed. He got upset over their response.

 

[haglover]

Since I hadn't actually looked at his like to dislike ratio after it was mentioned here, I decided to look. I think they're more entertaining than his actual videos.

(I guess this is a more heated example, given what video it's from, but a lot of them still look like this.)

I don't understand how you can consistently make videos so controversial, yet still keep up views/subs.

 

[Wabbu]

He's been getting pretty angry about people shipping a couple he dislikes, just like a twelve year old girl.

 

[Squealer]

\I know someone like him. Does the same shit he does, complains when he loses, calls everyone he loses to online a hacker. He also could probably beat this guy in pokemon.

He's 12.

 

[An Ghost]

The blind folded online video is an idea so great and original I'm sure he stole it. Having to know the cries of each Pokémon and the move animations in addition to competitive play mindset is cool. Instead he fucks it up by being butt hurt for half an hour. Any wonder he has so many dislikes?

 

[Bluebersaur]

Ah this guy. I refuse to watch any of his videos because the guy is way too much of a whiny cunt for me to bother with and I'd rather not give him any more views than he already manages to garner. Guy's a hypocritical dicknugget to put it lightly and tends to be the butt of everyone's jokes in the Poke'mon community, or at least the portion that's more into the competitive side of things.

I remember when HoodlumScrafty and DuncanKneeDeep made those videos about him, and his rambling attempt at a defense was, presumably, hilarious (didn't watch it, but in the second video HS and DKD did they pulled a few blurbs from his response video to make their points). Never knew about him rejecting to battle a kid with cancer, and while I get that everyone's entitled to battle who they want in Poke'mon, he could have done the poor kid a solid and just battled him once rather than be an utter scumbag and effectively tell him to bugger off.

Genuinely I feel bad for any kid who looks up to this guy and actually wants to battle/meet him or anything of the sort. They'll be sorely disappointed.

Everyone who likes the Pokemon anime is either a manchild or a pedophile.

Everyone who likes the Pokemon anime is either a manchild or a pedophile.

I enjoyed the battle scenes in the XYZ series but that's about it.

But in regards to him sperging hardcore about a ship, I don't get it. Ash has been a child throughout the entirety of the anime for the 20 years it's been going; he may look older because of the style they had for XY/Z, but he's still just a kid, and so there's no possible way they'd canonically put him with anyone in the anime and therefore Verlisify shouldn't be having a fucking cow about people's weird little head-ships with fictional characters from fictional worlds. Ash and Serena aren't going to be a thing, so he shouldn't be fussing over it just because people who pair the two up exist.

But he is a complete dicknugget Poke'mon sperg who seemingly gets triggered by every little thing he doesn't agree with in the fandom, so him tripping over a ship certainly isn't out of character.

Remember: He fought the Pokemon company about Pokémon. Logic doesn't exist

 

[José Mourinho]

If you're obsessed with shipping in a Pokemon anime which includes a protagonist who clearly doesn't understand love and only interested in battles (which is parodied and poked fun of too) maybe you should spend your obsession elsewhere.

A new Verlisify video. He defends accusations against him of creating clickbait in his video titles and thumbnails. He also reads the official Merriam Webster definition of clickbait, which defines his uploads as clickbait, then says that it actually doesn't because of an accompanying example sentence.

His videos just "create intrigue" and "entice" the viewer to click on them, guys! Nothing shady here! The irony of the clickbait title to a video made for the sole purpose to argue that his videos aren't clickbait is entirely lost on this guy.
Notice how he makes every single one of his videos slightly over ten minutes long to maximize ad revenue.

The mental gymnastics he had to go through to come up with that answer is amazing.

Just admit you do click bait.

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

"My titles are click bait because I want people to click on them and I think my videos are good. If you've got suggestions for improving my videos, leave a comment below." DONE. Yeah sure, it's the Internet and people will give you piles of shit anyway, but at least a comment like that is respectable.

 

[LucasSomething]

I've never seen anyone say "yeah it's clickbait and i do it for the money", it's always either because "everyone does it and it's the only way i can compete!" or an explanation about how it's not REAL clickbait (Versilify being the latter).

But imo his arrogance is a much bigger problem and that video really showcases why. He offends another youtube and the pokemon go fandom for no reason, and he points to their like bar as if he is inviting his own fans to hate their channels. Even if he didn't make clickbait videos, he would still keep gettting hundreds of dislikes for being an asshole.

God damn, what a moron.

What is Kiwifarm's stance on doxxing? 99.9% sure I've uncovered this guy's address. If I have, he moved to (presumably less expensive) housing in March of this year in Everett, Washington. The dude uses his YouTube name on his Facebook profile along side his real name, list of relatives, etc. Tony seems to be short for Antonio.

He's in Everett? ROAD TRIP, ROAD TRIP!

There gets to be a level of notoriety where it isn't even doxing if you are dumb enough to post your address on Facebook for everyone to see. I wouldn't do it personally but ask the admins in talk to staff before you post any addresses.
