Six Degrees of Tom Scott / Oracle of Scott: Smogon Edition

I did a dive thru the Smogon YT and added any credits I could find! I only went by credits in the description -- shoutouts goldmason for being in too many videos -- so if you know someone contributed to a video and didn't show up in the description, LMK and I'll take your word for it. I also didn't consider any thumbnail credits at this time -- I think creating a thumbnail should count iff it was created specifically for that video, but Smogon reuses thumbnail art a lot, making it non-trivial to determine.

I also gave the list (now called The Oracle) a major glowup -- entries are sorted first by the number, and each entry has links to connections. I have decided to cut off the list at 6 -- this is based on the original "6 degrees of separation" theory and has nothing to do with my own number.
 
If memory serves correctly, Me and Ming both casted the PU Love Tour together. Does this mean my tom scott number is 5 now. By extension this would make MZ and Gulch also 5 on the Tom Scott Number.

My Tom Scott number is 4, but unless MajorBowman and I did a Smogcast together, it's actually through Magic: the Gathering, not through Pokemon. I appeared on the Spike Feeders Youtube channel here (and played badly!). All of the Spike Feeders recently did a collab with Ify Nwadiwe of Dropout TV, spread across several videos. Ify currently hosts Um, Actually, in which Brian David Gilbert fact checks, and BDG has appeared on Tom Scott's podcast Lateral.
EDIT: 3 -> 2 | 2 -> 1 | 1 -> 0

I converted an old log to a replay for use in a BKC video and he credited me for it (believe it was LoveDestiny vs Earthworm?); does that count for the Tom Scott number?

Intent matters. If you created it as part of a broader restoration effort that isn't related to making Internet videos, then it wouldn't count. Given that BKC didn't ask for it, we're in a grey area, but I'm guessing that since you did this specifically for a notable YouTuber, you did it with the expectation that there's a reasonable chance it would make it into a video, which is a direct and deliberate enough contribution to this video for me. Your Tom Scott number is 5.

He did directly ask me to convert it, which I feel more strongly confirms my number. 5 is pretty good, honestly. This is a really cool idea!
