Hey guys, Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng here!
I am a competitive Pokémon VGC player. In my years of competing, I've won five Regional Championships and two National Championships. I also placed 3rd at the 2013 World Championships and 8th at the 2012 World Championships. Throughout my career, I've qualified for nine World Championships.
I am also a commentator for the Pokémon Company International and have casted several major tournaments, including the 2016, 2018, and 2019 World Championship Finals.
I started uploading on YouTube in 2014 to spread my knowledge and love for Pokémon VGC. I focus on high level, in-depth analysis & commentary to help my viewers improve. I hope you can learn something from me while you're here!

Commentating the Pokémon World Championship finals to an arena with over 5,000+ live fans was truly one of the most incredible life experiences I’ve ever had! What an amazing finals by Gio and James too, I’m so honored to have been a part of a historic finals.
Thanks to Rose for always being a spectacular co-commentator, to all the fans who tuned in this season, and to you all - I am confident I’d never have been asked to join Pokémon’s commentating team if it weren’t for my experience on YouTube, you all have taught me so much & I don’t take any of it for granted.
Going on vacation for a bit to unplug and recharge, but we’ll have so much content coming up with Reg H/J… see you all soon 🙂

Hey everyone!
With the end of Reg H, I took some time off from YouTube to rest and recharge. I’m back from vacation now and looking forward to diving back into Reg G with all of you!
If there’s any kind of content that you’d like to see in particular as we wrap up Reg H / return to Reg G, I’m all ears.
Otherwise, I just wanted to wish you all a restful December & happy holidays/New Year. This was a busy year for me outside of Pokemon, as I finished up grad school, but you all always bring so much joy to my life no matter how chaotic life can be.
Thanks for watching my videos, sharing nice words, tuning into my commentary, and cheering me on when I compete. I’m super grateful for you all - here’s to an awesome 2025!
☺️✌️💙

I'm starting a VGC podcast with Markus Stadter (@13Yoshi37) called @VGC_Reflections!
Markus is a legend of the game - he's won several Regional and National Championships, finished 3rd at Worlds in 2016, and has qualified for Worlds ten times. He's also an official commentator for The Pokemon Company International!
We've been friends for a long time and thought that a podcast would be a great idea to share our experiences with VGC, talk about tournaments, break down the metagame, and feature players from this community.
Our first episode is LIVE and covers 2024 Worlds & has an exclusive interview with our brand new World Champion, Luca Ceribelli.
We're really looking forward to this project so hope you check it out!

I’m competing in the 2024 Pokémon Video Game World Championships this week.
It’s my tenth time qualifying for Worlds and my first time competing since 2017. I’ve mainly been focused on commentary the last few years but I really wanted to play again!
Worlds is such a difficult tournament and anything can happen, but I’m just so excited to be back.
Also excited to cover the best teams from this tournament & dive into Regulation H with you all afterwards.
You can follow along for live updates on Instagram (www.instagram.com/cybertronvgc) & Twitter (twitter.com/CybertronVGC)!

I qualified for the 2024 Pokemon Video Game World Championships this weekend after making it to Day 2 of the European International Championships!
It's my 10th Worlds invite ('08, '11-17, '23, '24)! This one marks 16 years after my first invite all the way back in 2008 😲
I haven’t played in Worlds since 2017 to focus on commentary but I told myself that I wanted to make a run for it this year
So… see you in August as a competitor 😎
(Also finally returning home today after a 3 week long vacation, I feel very well rested & rejuvenated - content will be back very shortly!)

Hey all! February was kind of a slow month for me content wise here on YouTube because I've been working hard towards securing my Worlds invitation. I made great progress these past few weeks!
You need 500 Championship Points to qualify for Worlds from North America this year - I was at 130 at the end of January and gained +246 points in the past few weeks, putting me at 376/500 now. I'm eager to continue playing more events in the next few weeks!
Videos will be coming back very shortly... I may have just recorded something with a certain Articuno team 👀
