Pokémon: Ludwig & Other Streamers Play Smash or Pass with Every Pokémon
Popular YouTuber and streamer Ludwig and several other streamers recently played Smash or Pass together with all 898 Pokémon. The content creator achieved an amazing feat last year when he became the most-subscribed streamer on Twitch, reaching a total of 283,066 subscribers during a much-talked-about subathon event that lasted around a month. While Ludwig made over $1.4 million during the Twitch subathon, he didn't keep all of the earnings, donating much of the money to charity. He’s also since signed an exclusive deal with YouTube Gaming, effectively making his Twitch channel inactive.
While Smash or Pass isn’t a new game and has been played or featured by people on multiple platforms such as TikTok with different real or fictional characters, another massively popular YouTube content creator recently made their own version of it featuring Pokémon. Markiplier, who is one of YouTube’s biggest stars and placed third in the platform’s highest-paid creators last year, played the unique Smash or Pass game with all 898 Pokémon in a recently published video. With Markiplier’s popularity, even having has his own Markiplier doll in Subnautica, it's perhaps not surprising that Pokémon Smash or Pass would become its own trend.

At the beginning of the video, Ludwig mentions Markiplier’s aforementioned video as the inspiration for his own. While Ludwig went through the entire list of 898 Pokémon, his friends’ were each part of only one or two sections of the video, which were divided into the different generations of Pokémon.
