Pokémon Master MatPat

WARNING: This page contains mature themes: Pretty much anything related to Neferkiti's origins

Pokémon Master MatPat is a creation by CoolDetective123 based on the creator of the Youtube channel The Game Theorists, MatPat, meant to be a version of him inspired by Pokémon’s characters.

He is also a modded character in Nexed, designed by CoolDetective123.

Real-World History
Matthew Robert Patrick, better known as his screen name MatPat, created his Youtube channel in 2009, but only on April 18, 2011 did he upload the first episode of The Game Theorists (also known as Game Theory), a long-running web series where he discusses the logic, scientific accuracy and lore of various video games.

While some of his videos have gotten negative attention from their outlandish claims, the channel has gained massive success, having 15.5 million subscribers and over 3.32 billion views as of March 2022, which spawned spin-offs of the show, such as The Film Theorists and The Food Theorists.

The incarnation of MatPat seen in Nexed is based off of the trainers from the Pokémon series. His Pokémon in this game are:
 * Fredring, a Pokémon resembling an Ursaring that references Golden Freddy, an animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy’s, one of the most infamously discussed series in Game Theory.
 * W.D. Gastly, a Pokémon resembling a Gastly that references W.D. Gaster from Undertale, which in itself references Game Theory’s series of video theorizing his lore.
 * Neferkiti is a Pokémon created by MatPat himself as a response to Markiplier’s video “Smash or Pass: All 898 Pokémon”, being intended to be his most “smashable” Pokémon.

Gameplay Information
MatPat’s gameplay in Nexed is very similar to Pokémon Trainer’s in the Super Smash Bros. series. Instead of fighting directly, MatPat acts as a commander to one of his three Pokémon: Fredring, W.D Gastly, and Neferkiti, which can be swapped out, in this order, by using his down special, Pokémon Change. The active Pokémon is also automatically switched upon losing a stock. The player can also choose which Pokémon they start the battle with on the character select screen.

Fredring is a heavyweight character with amazing attack power up close, but it suffers from poor mobility and frame data, along with being susceptible to combos. It’s usually MatPat’s best Pokémon for scoring KOs and surviving at high percentages.

W.D. Gastly is a lightweight with fast movement and great combo potential, but with lackluster defense and KO potential. It’s mostly useful for quickly racking up damage at low percentages.

Neferkiti is a middleweight spacer character with long-ranged moves that can keep foes at bay, but suffers when out of her range and has a poor recovery. It can secure advantage at medium percentages.
