    Honestly changing the EXP system has 2 benefits. 1. it enables you to do these more regularly so hey that's more content! 2. Ease. while a good challenge is nice, especially considering your health situation? Anything that makes a challenge... not even easier, less stressful for you is better! We just got you back, don't want to trigger anything because of annoying grind, more so than usual sort. Take care of yourself my dude. We like your videos, we like the content creator behind them being healthy more!

    The challenge in a challenge isn't spending 50 hours grinding. The challenge is whatever random restriction you are giving yourself. If swapping the exp system saves you time on grinding, then feel free to do it if you want. Also good to have you back two weeks in a row.

      i said this in a diferent post, as well as a diferent video. to me, xp mods or rare candy cheats are only an issue in something like a nuzlocke, as leveling, and deciding who to level and where IS a major factor in the chalenge itself.
      however, in something like this, where failure doesnt really exist, its a completely diferent story. you dont have to worry about those things, and you can just brute force anyway. there's no punishment for losing a fight. so, it is indeed just a fastfoward.

    Literally anything that prevents grinding is good for a challenge video. Whether its changing exp back to normal or even hacking in rare candies after you prove you can grind indefinitely in a certain area. They aren't timed or even a nuzlocke so its perfectly fine to me.
    Like, you've done enough challenges in these gens to prove that you know how to grind and that you have the patience for it.

    I'm fine with swapping the exp system, heck I think you should be able to use infinite rare candies to speed up the grind too, since outside of a few specific challenges (like the old no pokemon center one), there's no strategy to grinding so there's not really any doubt in you being able to grind to the necessary level, just that it will take forever

    I think the challenge of these kinds of runs should be more about finding unique strategies or working around handicaps weaker Pokémon have, not that it takes forever to grind. So I wouldn’t mind the exp system being changed; it’s like exp candies in later generations, they don’t remove the challenge, they remove the tedious and frustrating aspects of getting stronger (unless you abuse the heck out of them but even so, with these challenges being level 100 doesn’t guarantee a win, so grinding can feel even more like a headache)

    my opinion regarding the exp thing and a lot of other things in general regarding challenges:
    if its just sth that is saving time for you and nothing else, go for it. imo you could even use Rare Candy cheats to level faster, since you were going to grind to that level anyways and it would just be a huge save of time for you.
    so by all means, go for it!!

    As for the B/W challenge thing: Just change it to normal exp. There's a reason Game Freak only did it in B/W and considering these challenge runs are already quite brutal there's no reason to make them suck even harder.

  • @Atavistic07
    @Atavistic07 Рік тому +3

    I do solo runs myself, and honestly the only region I have less fun solo running through than Unova is Johto and that's due to that region's abysmal level curve (and due to HGSS being really hard games in solo run terms, e.g. the Kimono Girls). The Gen 5 Exp system makes solo runs truly miserable (such that I'm very reluctant to do any more of them myself after as few as three of them) and I would certainly not complain about you tweaking it to the normal system as it will make for better content for us as viewers and you as the player (as you won't be effectively forced to screw up your Pokemon's EVs by Audino grinding).

    I really couldn't care less if you amend the experience system for your runs -- it changes absolutely nothing except the speed at which you're able to level up. So faster level-up = more content for us to enjoy. :)
    Having said that, I'm not a huge fan of Black/White so if you decide to stay with normal (reduced) experience and less BW playthroughs, I don't lose much. 😂(Yes I know, blasphemy... I'll go now.)

    I'm also an advocate for hacking in Rare Candies for the purpose of mitigating grinding only, as these particular challenges aren't affected by that in any meaningful way, it would just save time.
    This was a fun run, I'm surprised yet pleased that you went with Archeops! I relate to my poor bird buddy, I used to get super negative about everything when things weren't going my way. I'm better about it now, sometimes I still catch myself doing it, but it's much rarer now.

Anything that shortens the process or cuts it out altogether is a blessing. I personally give myself Rare Candies for Hardcore Nuzlockes because, again, grinding isn't a challenge. It's boring and the real difficulty, and the real fun, in any challenge run is the trainers, gyms, e4 and champ

    You definitely need to use candies in your runs. The "challenge" of a run is not how long you can grind for, but whether or not you are able to make it through a game based on your restrictions.
    I also think you should try doing some challenge runs with Level caps; They don't have to be nuzlocke, but for example *Could I beat pokemon emerald with only baby pokemon AND not levelling past next gym* Would be very interesting to see what strategies you can come up with, and rather than spend hours grinding you could spend that time planning?
    All the best for you and your family mate

    Hi MDB, I am happy to learn you are doing better. Recently I restarted my copy of Pokemon Black and I just learned something new after all these years. In Castelia City, at the fountain, there's a dancer you can battle. After beating him, he'll ask you for help in finding the other two for his dance group.
    If you follow up with this and beat the other two and go back to the fountain and talk to him, he'll give you an Amulet Coin.
    I don't know if you were already aware of this or not, but I figured I'd share it in-case you decided to do a No Poke Center challenge in the game. Regardless, love your videos, hope you and your family remain happy, and look forward to more videos, Pokemon challenge or not.

    I really liked this run! I liked how well you used each team member and ensured every Pokemon had a fair chance to shine. I think it's fair to change the way exp works, like everyone else is saying, both for your health's sake and because it doesn't change the core gameplay experience. Looking forward to Fallout 4!

    6:59 Please do, it means more challenge options for you and more gen5 Pokemon for us. Especially after your health scare, you should take it easier.
    Also, the normal gen5 exp system doesn’t add anything but Dragging out Grinds.

    Great to see you back to making challenges, these truly are a highlight of my saturdays and I always anticipate them. I know the challenge is over, but you could have actually picked up waterfall by surfing past the body of route water, I believe the hm’s in the far north-eastern region of the route.

    Hey MDB so glad you're back! When it comes to gen 5 and it's brutal exp gains I say changing it with the randomizer or even rare candying it is totally fine. Grinding in gen 5 is the worst!

  • @mwalker784

    so happy to see you back! i hope you’re feeling better. imo, it’s fine to use the exp system change. you’re still doing the actual challenge, and the intention of the challenge is never “can i spend 70 hours grinding because i get 25exp from a battle”. you’re still getting the difficulty of the challenge, just not the time sink of the grind.

    MDB catching a Ducklett is very funny to me since I am currently in the middle of the Pokémon Black & White Randomizer over on Whattageeks channels. And the rant about how stupid Ducklett is was pretty great.^^

    I personally think changing the exp gains is perfectly ok and doesn’t really break the spirit of the run. I watch nuzlockes where they hack in rare candies and I think it’s ok.
    I do have interesting challenge run idea: final fantasy V with only blue mages
    (Or maybe final fantasy V without equipment)
    I hope you’re alright and stay safe.

    Hey mdb glad your back. I hope your feeling better. I have suggestion for you, you should switch the game into set mode when your doing multi pokemon runs. It adds a bit of challenge. And definitely yes add in the older gen exp for the newer runs if the option is there

  • @rayko5037

    Great to see you making videos again MDB. I would definitely change the EXP system in gen 5. It's so terrible dealing with the way they did it.

    Hey man, really good to see another vid, tells me your health is going well. Keep it up!! Don't let it break you down man, YOU GOT THIS!
    If it means you can do more Gen5 stuff, I see no problems with changing the EXP system.
    Have you considered playing through the original Deus Ex for a vid? With having done fallout games and elder scrolls etc. It's one of my favorite all time games, and I think it might be a good fit if you're looking for another game to play at some point.
    Glad to see you up and at em, take care brother!

    If it helps make Gen 5 games faster to get through, I'm all for reverting the EXP system.
    Besides, all it does is reduce the amount of grinding we aren't going to see.
    Also, if you do end up with extra time for Black and White runs, there is a Post Game Elite Four you could take on to actually become the Champion ... They are far stronger though.

    In regards to the exp system, I shall enjoy it either way. Your challenge, your rules. I am here because these are fun to watch. If i was the one doing these, I'd definitely change it.

  • @Dzyntara
    @Dzyntara Рік тому

    Just do what makes you happy. Your audience loves you and will support you regardless of changes to the grind. Challenges are whatever restrictions you put on yourself. They should be fun, not completely miserable.

  • @zorimanar2247
    @zorimanar2247 Рік тому

    Very excited for this challenge, these are always fun to watch.
    My opinion on switching the experience system is this: Grinding isn't hard, it's just boring and mentally taxing. Switching the system just makes that less taxing. Go for it, especially since the experience system is the main reason gen 5 challenges don't really happen very often online.

    That fact you're doing another challenge while going through everything that you're going through just goes to show how strong u really are!

    I'm always a bigger fan of gen 3+ challenges vs gen 1 and 2 so I say enable the old school xp thingy for gen 5 runs. Thanks for continuing the grind!

    Here's a challenge that I think can be more interesting than challenging. Doing any gen you want with a team of only mid evolution pokemon, so out of Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard you'd keep him at Charmeleon. Also it only counts for gens in which they have 3 forms so pokemon like Electabuzz can't be used in gen 1 but can be in gen 2 onwards.
