And here is MY favorite part of XD. The battle CDs are such a creative idea. The first 32 are basically puzzles in Pokemon battle form, while the rest allow you to mess around with various Pokemon and test your skill as a Trainer. :)
Crazy how the “Sim” transition in the beginning was actually already in the first game but just through e readers, never knew. Poor e readers I really wanted to use them since I had some in the day just didn’t know how. Didn’t have an e reader either. I would just wonder what the team on the card would do lol
Haha, nothing you do matters until HJK, but the official guide probably just put in some random strategy. It'd probably look bad if it said you could do whatever.
My Blissey has softboiled egg bomb sweet kiss and protect I like to use sweet kiss first to confuse them then just use a rotation of protect egg bomb and softboiled
There were so many pokemon I wanted to use in this game that just weren't available. I dreamed we could get a mainline Pokemon game in this game's engine.
Benjamin Peterson Just pokemon that weren't in this game. Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Lotad, and many many others. I know you can transfer them, but that's postgame, I wanted to use them thoughout the game.

14:13 The official guide described this as "Each Pokemon must do something for the next one down the line". :)
Benjamin Peterson I remember that. I had the guide as well
This was my favorite game as a kid!
Really Well done with this part, and also very impressive as always, keep doing a great job, I look forward to more.

Drowzee’s hurt animation tho... dat trunk
Also I absolutely LOVE that CD start animation. Potions to the XD team.

9:22 Huh, what I always did (And what the official guide suggests) was Minun use Helping Hand again and Plusle use Thunder instead of Thunderbolt.
Benjamin Peterson I see, that sounds too risky, though.
It IS another way to win :)
Very Professional 👌
Love your vid
11:48 The official guide suggests you play COMPLETElY defensively, using Reflect and Softboiled instead of attacking with Egg Bomb.
Haha, nothing you do matters until HJK, but the official guide probably just put in some random strategy. It'd probably look bad if it said you could do whatever.
I agree.

Good thing the fairy type didn’t exist back then. Or battle CD 10 would be almost impossible
Hey good one! How can you record in such a good quality? Great video!
Thanks! I played this on the Dolphin emulator and used OBS to record my computer screen.
@@Hawlo thank you friend, I´ll try it out.Btw, no wonder you have 163.000 subscriptors, nice content, keep the good work
17:11 Sword dance Machamp is illegal 😂
I wish you could win a 2 pokemon of your choice with these battle cards

What do you mean by "Pokemon that weren't available."? Species? Or ones built with specific Movesets and Natures?

song?
The songs in this game don't have unique names so you can just search for them as descriptions. This one is "battle sim theme".
@@Hawlo Jeez dude didnt expect you to reply thank you
