      Fun fact: in the Japanese version of the latest series "Pokémon (2020)" (I cannot vouch for the dubs, as I do not watch them), Satoshi (Ash) does seem to know his type match-ups now, as when his Riolu tries to hit a Gengar which Satoshi happens to catch, it tries to hit the Gengar with Vacuum Wave, but Satoshi tells Riolu that Fighting-Type moves won't work on Ghost-Types.

  • @TheNoteblockLizard
    @TheNoteblockLizard 4 роки тому +146

    I'd be interested to see you to a Single-Stage Pokemon run at some point.
    This would mean you can only use Pokemon who can't evolve and who aren't Legendaries.
    As an additional rule, you can't catch anything which will gain an evolution in an older generation.
    I was trying this for Crystal and the only one before Fawkner is Dunsparce, which turned out to be stronger than I expected. I didn't count mega-evolutions as they aren't a permanent evolution, so that meant Heracross and Pinsir were still viable.

  • @ocealuminosa1350
    @ocealuminosa1350 4 роки тому +1395

    Here's a challenge suggestion:
    Can you beat B2/W2 with only an “Assisted” Purrloin/Liepard?
    Rules:
    1) Play on Black 2 or White 2. The challenge is considered completed after defeating the first round of Elite Four & Champion battles. Bonus points if you can win some of the post-game important trainer battles (example: Alder, Cynthia, Hugh, Benga, Cilan/Chili/Cress, Colress, N, Game Freak's Nishino/Morimoto)
    2) You may only use a Purrloin for every battle in the game. Replace one of the starter choice with a Purrloin. (Alternatively, for this challenge, you may evolve this Purrloin into Liepard, so that you don't have to excessively grind for levels during late game.) You are free to bring any number and any variety of Pokemon in your party, but only the Purrloin/Liepard may fight for you in battles.
    3) No item usage during battle (only held items are allowed).
    4) Once Purrloin learns Assist on level 6 and you have access to catching wild Pokemon, you may only use Assist as your source of damaging move against the opponent. Your Purrloin/Liepard may use any other status moves it learns from level up or TMs, but none of them may be a directly damaging move*.
    *) Preferably, no spamming toxic/protect/double team, as this is a rather uninteresting strategy to overcome battles, and doesn't encourage team-moveset building for Assist usage.
    Addendum/Tips:
    - The movesets of the Pokemon in your party will be the key factor in overcoming battles (accompanied with a bit of luck), due to how Assist works. The Move Deleter may prove valuable in reducing randomness when using Assist.
    - To make this less frustrating, you may choose to give yourself a PP Max in the beginning (e.g. as the held item for the starter Purrloin, if possible) to max out the Assist PP.
    - This can be considered as a "semi-Metronome" challenge, but with much less randomness (and dependence on luck) and a lot more room for strategy.

I guess more speed would have made the gyro ball fights harder too. I’d imagine the recurring endgame issues in these runs will always come down to priority attacks and bulky mons

    I ended up defeating the elite four with just one dunsparce. It was incredibly satisfying.

    Ok here’s an idea for a bit of an interesting but possibly very easy challenge:
    Any Pokemon game with only one move except hidden power and no copies of Pokemon.
    Basically you can have any Pokemon you want and have a full team of six but you can only use one move throughout the entire run, it can be tackle, flamethrower or even struggle it’s your choice, and you cannot have 2 of the same Pokemon on your team.
    Again could be easy but I think it could be interesting to do.

    I'll try one more time to suggest my challenge idea. Hopefully it would allow a bit more strategy, as you'd need to think your way around the randomness.
    I'm calling it poke-roulette, but the name is open for revisions. Basically, you must always throw at least 1 pokeball at every wild pokemon you encounter, and you can only use the 6 most recent pokemon you've caught in battle. So once you catch your 7th pokemon, you have to dump your starter for it! Also, you always have to buy the most powerful pokeball (poke/great/ultra) available. And no buying Repels; only the ones you find on the ground can be used!
    Standard no items in battle stuff (except the pokeball pocket, of course!). Since you need a game... I'd say HeartGold, as it's my favourite?
    Also, for all your runs you should start using Battle Mode: Set, like you have your standard No Items rule. In single pokemon runs it'll make things faster due to fewer text boxes, and in multi- pokemon runs you can't switch for free after every knockout.
    Cheers! I'm enjoying the series, obviously :) .

      As A BRAzilian, I can confirm that it is a comedy gold. After all, in portuguese, "Abra" is the imperative form of the verb "Abrir", which means "To Open", so there are jokes with it using the antonym of "Abrir", and that is "Fechar", or in the imperative form, "Feche", meanwhile, its name is way too next to "Abril", the name of the forth month that we are into, so you can call him as ANY other month in portuguese

    Here's one I thought of for you:
    Pokemon Crystal with only "fairy" Pokemon, or Pokemonn who will become fairy type.
    So you're down to:
    Clefa, Clefairy, Clefable, Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Mr. Mime, Togepi, Togetic, Marill, Azumarill, Snubbull, & Granbull

    • @mjvdg4194
      @mjvdg4194 4 роки тому

      Actually I thought about it:
      He’ll have to do the first two gyms with only Jiggly and Togepi, can catch Marill and Snubull before Whitney, and hope the random egg is a Cleffa.
      Otherwise Clefairy and Mr. Mime are only available in Kanto

    • @mjvdg4194
      @mjvdg4194 4 роки тому

      I’m assuming here MDB will start with Jiggly since you can catch one early anyway.
      Gotta do Falkner with just that since you get the egg after.
      Got to fight Bugsy and rival with just those two (Gastly will suck).
      Should catch Marill ASAP since both Morty and Chuck will be brutal with just normal types!
      Out of six available Pokemon lines, only four (with a chance of a fifth) are available before Kanto.

    I just had an idea. How about, instead of choosing 1 Pokémon and trying to beat the game by leveling it to an absurd degree, you make a full team of 6 Pokémon, whatever Pokémon you want, but you can only level them up to level 30 or some absurdly low level. This way it's all about strategy and you could possibly make completely new teams for every roadblock you face. I'm sure you could make something interesting around that.

    So this story isn't really relevant to the video but I thought someone might appreciate it.
    There's a game called town of salem where basically you get a random role with a goal and you have to complete whatever that goal is. You can choose your nickname each game and I tend to go for pokemon. One game I called myself Abra. I got killed on the first night by the mafia. When the mafia (and some other roles) kill, they can leave a death note, and the death note that was left with me was "Abra should have used teleport" and I found it way funnier than I probably should have because it's currently the only time someone has acknowledged the name that I picked. Seeing this video again reminded me of it.

    Challenge Idea:The Dreadnought Challenge
    1) Any pokemon game aside from Gen 1 is fine (leaving out gen 1 due to the bugs and AI)
    2) You are allowed any pokemon of your choice aside from legendry or pseudo-legendary.
    3) You can only use 1 pokemon in battle.
    4) If your pokemon can evolve, it must start at its weakest form, however, you are allowed to evolve your pokemon.
    5) Only held items in combat
    6) Your only allowed damaging moves require you to charge for one round before firing or moves that require you to recharge next turn. Example: solarbeam and hyperbeam
    7) Your moves cannot make you invulnerable to most attacks before attacking. Example Dig and Fly
    8) You're not allowed to have a weather move to make charged attacks fire instantly, such as sunny day and solar beam.
    The idea of this challenge is exactly as the name suggests, you fire one large damaging move, but you're unable to act for one turn, effectively making you a large dreadnought powering up its massive weapons, or having to cool back down before firing them again. There are quite a few moves of various types that fit into this category so type coverage shouldn't be an issue.
