If you're new around here, Venomoth is a Psychic/Flying type, you can't change my mind. - Ігри
Errors & Corrections:
1) Mawile is also a mono-steel type (the Bulbapedia list led me astray since the fairy-type was added in generation 6)
2) Regirock had blackouts in it's first playthrough because it had to lose against Wallace
Could hypothetically deplete Explosion and Self-Destruct PP against a Pokemon with the Damp ability to use Struggle, as a note. (Psyduck/Golduck/Wooper/Quagsire/Poliwag/Poliwhirl/Poliwrath/Politoed)
(If this gets mentioned in the video I'll come back and edit this comment, and apologise for the obsolete comment.)
@@BloodfelX it wouldn't work. None of these Pokémon appear in the early game (especially since his issues come before the first may battle), not to mention that the only line available in emerald is psyduck, only appearing in the wild in the safari zone.
@@sup3rkidd333 Indeed, leaves it only a hypothetical solution - and I think the Regis have more moves in Heart Gold and Soul Silver so I don't think it would even be needed there, though Woopers probably appear too late in Johto as well anyhow.
@@BloodfelX HGSS and platinum are actually possible for all 3, without the need for a damp Pokémon, as all of them have stomp as a starting move. Though if they didn't have that it wouldn't be possible as the earliest encounters with a damp Pokémon would be wooper in HGSS after violet city (which has 2 required battles to make it there) and psyduck in platinum in the ravaged path (which has a few required battles to make it there on route 202). This does however mean that diamond and pearl are impossible as they only have explosion in those games to begin with.
I wonder if you tried Sunny Day with Regirock to make Wallace easier.
"So I remind Registeel how to use Amnesia" is such a bizarre sentence even in context.
alzheimers registeel
I think it’s my favourite line in the video.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Not the power of curse?
'The impossible tier needs to be properly sorted'
And that's the kind of data I'm here for, Scott.
Weird how much Pokemon content there is in this Star Craft video
Loving the absolute villain arc that Ludicolo is having recently
He's lovin it too! I mean look at em!
Ludicolo is on his Villain era 💅💅 and I'm all here for it!
the greatest April's Fools prank Scott ever pulled was not evern posting on Aprilv1st
"I need to do a bug or flying type for my next run just so I can defeat this thing easily"
A Volbeat vs Illumise run would be fun if you haven't done so already.
Monkeys Paw.... oh Yanma!
unfortunately not available natively in the Gen3 games (you'd need to trade for FRLG),
so uhh.... Ninjask then (and yes I looked at the moveset first),
YEEEES! the end of the video
Beautifly vs Dustox would be another interesting challenge, given how the Wurmple evolves into one of them randomly
apparently Wurmple's evolution isn't random, and that WOULD be an interesting technical deep-dive given the nature of these runs
Unfortunately, those Types are really stripped for STAB, this Gen still, so I don't think this is gonna go the way Scott hopes it will... still, those will surely be interesting (perhaps in a VS video?).
@@andreapareti324 Well, at least Volbeat is one of the few pokemon able to use signal beam. I thought for a second Illumise was as well, but after looking at its moveset... ouch.
@@KiranasOfRizon Volbeat indeed technically has the second best Bug STAB in the games up until that point... but it's Volbeat; before the Physical-Special split that made Tail Glow actually synergize with Signal Beam.
And yeah, Illumise is just STAB-less, alongside also being really bad.
They'll have some STAB in the form of Signal Beam or Bug Hidden Power (ouch), but my point was that they're so bad they will probably still have trouble, possibly even against the dreaded Ludicolo nemesis 😅.
1st and only mono-steel type until generation 5? "sobs in Mawile"
As the number one Mawile enjoyer, I am very personally offended.
this saddened me as well
Honestly thought mawile was steel/dark for the longest time
@@slayersam1no it hasn't, its always been just Steel until gen 6
@dustindean4618 oh I'm well aware just how I thought it was for the longest time
Can't wait for Scott's spinoff series, "Scott's Thoughts - Starcraft - Solo Zergling."
You know, GiantGrantGames did that, but I'd definitely watch a series with Scott doing it.
Maybe seeing which unit can complete the campaign the fastest. :P
i really thought the april fool’s joke was that the entire video was actually a starcraft video 😭
The regis cant beat the game on their own, but what if you use all three of them at the same time? They can theoretically switch train each other to victory, but i wonder how a three pokemon run would go in this format.
Could do a gen 4 run and pit legendary trios against each other and rank that. Birds vs beasts vs golems vs sprites
I love this idea!
I've been wanting to do an all-Regi run in Gen 3 and I would have just given them a second move (like Stomp). It could be neat to leave them with their base moves and have to switch train them until they learn a new move.
A 3-Pokemon run would be interesting too because you're splitting the EXP 3 ways so you won't be overlevelled as quickly and TMs are not reusable, so you'll have to be careful how you distribute them.
Never saw such a high amount of resets for a legendary run. What a Regiscam
I feel like this started out as an April Fools video about how all 3 of them are at the bottom of the Tierlist.. And then Scott tried to figure out in which order they should be in, and then genuinely tried to figure that out in the most scientific way possible - which ended up in a solo challenge for all the mons with the least intrusive change possible
I don't know if this is right, but I love it already .Back to actually watching the video :)
I’m sure this one is gonna be a blast.
"Registeel is the only mono-steel type until Gen V."
Mawile: "Am I a joke to you?"
Yes, Mawile, you are.
Got cool as a Mega. No one knew its name prior.
Was. *Was* a joke.
Once ZA comes out Huge Power Mega Mawile is going to prove you wrong
Regice my beloved you did so well. Regirock you improved so much I’m so proud of you. Godspeed Registeel you deserve the world.
From the bottom of my heart, Scott, THANK YOU! Emerald vids are my fave and I especially love the Regis for their unsettlingly abstract designs. This was an amazingly fun and long video to watch
Well done as usual, Scott!
I think Regice above Registeel was a fair result since it was still a bit faster even with worse luck. The Regirock redemption arc really impressed me!
Dang, this is one trio of pokemon where they actually feel like they're on level playing field in a solo run!
Dude, I would absolutely watch you play Starcraft challenges all day. Loved the intro, played so much SC I + II myself
I second this. I’d love to have more single player Starcraft 1/BW playthroughs out there.
I mentioned it in my mention but I'll put it as a reply here too;
I'd recommend checking out GiantGrantGames. He puts out edited challenge runs not all that dissimilar to Scott's Pokemon runs, and has a secondary channel where he puts out full live playthroughs - again similiar to Scott's methods.
Let's get some tower defense or mass attack vids sprinkled in to change things up.
I see my reply recommending a similar channel was removed, probably marked as spam I guess.Oh well - RIP. xD
wow, that is such a great idea for ranking the impossible ones, and also making a fun video about them! one of my favorites, for sure.
This came on auto play after another video and I was VERY confused at first.
I legitimately would be interested in some StarCraft videos though. Even though I have never played them more than a few minutes but listening to you talk about the infested Terran actually had me wondering about it. Goes to show that literally anything can be interesting if presented well!
This will completely make my mind explode
I watched this video over the course of a couple days and to say this had me on the edge of my seat was and is an understatement. Scott, I love your videos, and you always do such a great job, explaining and playing these games. And I think this versus video is probably my favorite between all the jokes, the comparison, and just how tight the race was. It was incredible and I am looking so forward to seeing every new video you come to post. :)
Thanks for your comment! I’m also really happy with how this one turned out. I first thought it was going to be a shorter, silly video, but it turned into something with a lot of substance.
The way regirock looks in the thumbnail looks like a dude wearing a flat billed cap, and i cant unsee it
That whole Starcraft tangent got me rolling. Keep up the good vids
These runs were quite the roller coaster with all their twists and turns, and I enjoyed it a lot
Great work as always Scott, your videos are the highlight of my saturdays :)
1:12:28 Steven swapping into Metagross to die to Earthquake was... uh... brilliant. Poor guy tried a switch strategy and got destroyed because of it lol. Great runs. Shame Regirock wasn't able to do as good later, but that's the fate of a Rock-type in Hoenn sadly.
I can't watch right now so I'll leave a comment for algorithm support + a prediction.
Regice will win, Registeel will start strong but will fall of a little and Regirock will lose but it's going to be close
edit: this was a massive rollercoaster. I'm glad to see Rock's performance
Love the nice StarCraft treat before the actual video!
Great stuff. Glad these guys got a chance to compete, even if they can't officially rank well on the tier list. I am so down to watch you discuss classic StarCraft content
"I remind registeel how to use amnesia" made me laugh more than I thought it would 😂
Never that I thought i would be happy to see who is best in the impossible tier xD love it scott❤ gonna watch now bye
So excited for the starcraft stuff i did that so much as a kid cant wait for lurrkers reveres and dark templar
Zerg has always been my favorite
Thank you for taking the time to do extra playthroughs was definitely worth the video being a little late
A second channel to listen to Scott talk about things on? SIGN ME UP my guy
I was really surprised about the starcraft intro. Normally I never knew anyone to really talk about that game unless they were in the community. Thanks for reminding me of that game, I spent years of my childhood playing it and it really brought me back
I love this video so much! I did not expect something like this from you and I couldn't be more happy and proud ❤🎉😊
I thought we'd get 3 separate videos for this. Amazing!
Super psyched to see you talk about Starcraft!
I love StarCraft bro, looking forward to StarCraft challenges
Hearing that you’re a former competitive sc2 player makes so much sense for your analytical content! Really enjoying this one thanks man
Yeah - optimizing build orders translates well into optimizing solo challenges.
Crazy results! Great job on the playthroughs!!
Thank you scotthew for this feature film
Another amazing video, thank you Scott!
Love the intro. I used to play Starcraft as a kid. ♥️ One of the best games I've played.
All this for an impossible
Now that's dedication
The dedication you have to these videos is very impressive. The fact that you looked at three Pokemon who could not solo a game and said "but how can I rank them within the impossible tier" is amazing. I probably would have considered a universe in which the Regis start with their respective weak STAB moves, or even have them start with Stomp like they do in later generations, but the solution you used was way funnier. I noticed you using early Rare Candies, which I think is really good and will drastically improve your Emerald play by considering which Pokemon need them and when. One thing I'd consider doing differently with the solos is I'd have made Marshtomp the rival for Regirock instead of Grovyle just because it resists Rock moves. It especially would've made the second fight harder and maybe would have required training for Secret Power. Very very good video! I'm excited for more Emerald VS videos!
I love what u did with the hi for this video going to watch more after this video u earn my sub
As someone who has never seen a starcraft game that intro made me instantly subscribe to the starcraft channel
This should really start off with a bang
When I was a kid there was a strategy game I used to watch my dad play on the computer and got to play a grand total of once. All these years later I've often wondered what it was. Watching this video I really think it might have been Starcraft. Thank you so much for that tangent.
Love all of your videos, so entertaining. I'd love to see someday a HG/SS Horsea line (including Kingdra) solo run!
Only scott would put this much effort into an april fools videos and thats why we love him.
We all know the truest april fools prank would be you saying you're only going to do one playthrough in a video.
I'm SO excited for this starcraft channel WHAT
Honestly what initially got me into this channel years ago was my love for Pokemon/challenge runs.. but also that I never played gen 1 more than a little, and really didn't have much deep knowledge in it. Your super through/rigorous breakdowns with these solo runs was the perfect infodump wonder for me
I've loved watching you go into games I know better, and refine your layout and gameplay with time. But losing that magic as you've moved to more familiar gens left me less engaged recently, in all honesty.
I've barely ever played StarCraft, and know absolutely nothing. That taste in the intro really recaptured that magic again for me! I'm so excited for this new channel, honestly.
That opening, love me some Starcraft though.
I love the regis!!!! They are my favorite legendary trio ever made. I'd love to see an actual regi of every type! I know there are YT videos of fan made ones but I'd love a game with a regi of every type
You could have named them crash boom! bang! 8<
Also that intro segue is one of the best I’ve seen, stellar work all around
I always watch your videos or listen to them like podcasts. Best pokemon channel on UA-cam and that is saying something. Greetings from Germany
This is what I’ve been waiting for! Heck yeah!
Man, that this video started with a Starcraft reference made me smile. Though I can't call Infested Terrans weak in sc2 given the problems they caused in both Wings of Liberty and Legacy of the Void. But BaneTerrans in Broodwar were always interesting units, and definitely strong; though less so with the pathing and nature of BroodWar.
Scott... you are so speaking to my childhood it's scary!
Glad you went for the 3 playthroughs. Personally, I believe Registeel is the best of the three but the hardest to play optimally due to its defensive playstyle. So thanks Austin haha. But yeah great video.
Ahhh I got to this video late, the Starcraft love always makes me happy, we should play someday! I'll send a message about the new channel as I'm a major expert on BW and can definitely offer some use over the long run.
I saw that Infested Terran pro play match years ago.
Hahaha.
im so pleased w how regice performed! it's my favorite of the three and metrics be damned, i'd place it at the top of the impossible tier
Ah yes, I too appreciate the simplicity of a Pokémon that sounds like a transformer and sticks its right arm to the sky.
As soon as you said you had high hopes for Regirock I laughed. 7/10 too much water.
I'd watch an Infested Terran only StarCraft run. But I also watch StarCraft challenge videos anyway. If I wasn't paying attention I would have thought this was a video from another tab I have open. Interesting solution to the Regi problem. They were never intended to be level 5. I likely would have started the run with them being level 10, but that also unbalances the rest of the tier list. Explosion if obviously useless in solo runs, it would be interesting to see how it can help in runs where you have a team.
I love the thumbnail artwork! ❤️
Brian is KILLING it with these!
Usually I wait to comment but oh my watching that StarCraft opening has just brought me back to being 8 years old. I was the exact same as you Scott and wasn't allowed the internet so played StarCraft campaign exclusively! However I preferred the Terrans cause I always thought I'd be like the marines I instantly went and subscribed to your other channel and I am very excited. Of course I don't remember StarCraft looking such high quality compared to my cube monitor back in the day haha
They released a fantastic remaster of the game a few years back. It feels very faithful in style but dramatically improves the visuals.
1:05:03 It feels so poetic that when Regirock powers through like a trooper with 1 hp remaining, Ludicolo comes in with 1 more point of speed.
This'll be a very explosive video
I tend to watch your vids while i'm grinding on wow, hearing you talk about a blizzard game was a treat lol
I would love to see explosion be an option in play throughs. I think changing it to where it is a priority move that leaves you on 1 HP so if you don't knock out you run the risk of getting ko'd next turn!
Yeah, when you've got only 50 base special attack and are primarily a physical attacker, it's always best to go adamant. The nature drop to such a low stat is barely even going to affect the moves used when you do use the rare special attack for a physical attacker or vice versa. Even Regice would probably perform better overall as Modest if it can still manage to pull off Whitney at the same level. It might be worth doing various playthrough comparisons to test this, but yeah, glad to see you're learning more about natures
Lol, when you call Flannery Whitney cause you're traumatized from gen 2 and talking about a tough female gym leader 😂
Venomoth Fact #12: Venomoth was very proud of Regigigas when he created the originally Regi-trio in the same way a parent is proud of their young childs finger painting and put it on their fridge door.
Yo scott i was thinking about your rule in pokemon crystal of how you have coded in the game that morty treats your party as a single mon and doesnt spam mean look shouldnt the same rule be applied when mightyena roars you ???
Just made it and im so ready, sorry imma be like 45 mins behind lmaooo, wishing you all a beautiful day 🍉🍉🗝🗝🖤🖤✨️✨️
I see what you did there with calling Regice Titanic.
I've also always felt the Regis were pretty emblematic of their Types! Granted, Regice is indeed slow, which is not ideal, for an Ice Type... but many of them are slow anyway; in that sense, I guess Regice is the quintessential Ice Type Pokémon, rather than incorporating well the Type itself and its strengths.
So many "oh no" moments. Glad you got through it all.
For the impossible tier, once other Pokémon go in there shouldn’t it be how far they can get (with time being a tiebreaker)? I don’t think it’s fair if weedle is ranked below the Regis
Agreed
Perfect timing😂 The third playthrough was necessary:)
I'd so be into a Scott's Thoughts starcraft campaign stream 😂
Probably should have gone for reducing Regirock's special attack instead of speed...
i really like the versus vids because i get to guess who i think will win, couldnt have been more wrong this time... well get em next time
Regice gets Bolt-Beam!? That's some great coverage.
1:11:17 I love that the victory music starts playing before you "officially" won, as if you used it because you were so happy about the double-freeze luck, lol.
Dude watching finally start to figure out emerald is wonderful. It's my favorite fame and your early plays were so crap. It feels greats to see this improvement
I still have my grandfather's launch Starcraft 1 & Brood War. Very fun games especially playing them as a kid when they came out was so much fun. Lore and books are a very good read. Another game earlier that is fun is Z. I would watch a playthrough of these games for the millionth time.
Great video Scott!
infested terran only run O.O so excited
Roxanne looking at the Ninjask playthrough: "That's a nice ability. Would be a shame if I viewed a particular move as speed control."
Yikes. Looks like you'll be playing for misses.
Thanks for still going out of your way to make the video Scott!
Scott: proceeds to list and say that special/physical coverage with Regirock/Regice is completely useless.
Also Scott: "So I chose a nature that lowers Speed/my best stat".
Why oh why.
Keep in mind I'm just at the early portion of the video, so I don't know what's gonna happen, eventual realizations and optimizations, but this isn't the first time you make... out there choices for natures, right after you express sound reasoning about the Pokémon's movepool and stats.
I have now gotten to the Regirock vs Wallace portion of the video and... yeah 😅; but hey, experimentation is interesting and making mistakes and learning from them is part of that, right?
As always, I admire your approach - just *please* consider Adamant, Modest, Timid or Jolly much more often; I get that this is before the Physical-Special split, but I don't think it's usually worth it to have anything else for coverage, especially for Pokémon that are this skewed towards one kind of offense, so they will generally be more useful natures when going in blind for a Pokémon; you always have the next playthrough to make adjustments, if you feel they're really needed.
Finally the originial Regis are my favorite legendaries together with Raikou, Suicune and Entei. Sadly that they are not very usuable in competitive like other legendaries but the idea behind them and how to get them felt special back in the Gen 3 days. Regigigas and the two new regis are cool as well
I was always sort of sad that the Regis start with Explosion, but I should've known you'd still take their runs so seriously. Love it.
Great April Fools Day video. I can't believe they're in the impossible tier, though D: That's kind of upsetting.
I can tell by the way Scott talks about Ludicolo that he cannot wait to play a generation with freeze-dry...
