A couple thousand people watched this video early! I linked it on my Twitter: twitter.com/MahDryBread
No I don't think so
If this were a dream I'd have bigger tits
It's a good dream then
Ayo im tripping
thank you for the early video coupon mdb
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!
I'm not sure he would, though. MDB tries to keep the glitches, exploits, and modifications to a minimum (i.e. changing starters). I see your point, in any case.
Don’t black and white have a harder exp system to grind than other games?
I agree with this. I think he should just use the normal exp and not the gen 5 one.
@@Randomorph i said this in my comment, anything that takes away REAL WORLD TIME, is just a handicap for no reason, but if he wanted to do more GEN5 runs thatd be the way to go.
Absolutely agree
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.
On that note, just use rare candies once the Pokémon's EVs are maxed out.
Exactly. Grinding forever is boring for you to do and for us to watch, and there is no skill needed for it at all...
agreed, also with mdbs health issues this might be better and give us more years of mdbs videos.
@@ddjsoyenby Absolutely!
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.
I'll be honest, when I saw the Chansey video I really wasn't expecting another run for some time. Huge credit to MDB for getting another run together so quickly. Really glad to have him back.
I was thinking the same!!
it will be because of the december ad revenue, every ytber uploads so many videos in december.
I think it would be better to change the exp system to the one used in the older games. As you said, it would allow for more gen5 runs, so that would be cool.
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.
Unfortunately he cannot change the XP system in the randomizer. I think the thing he's looking at is the thing that says standardized exp curves and that's not what that does.
I have no problem with you changing the EXP to the more traditional system in gen 5 challenges! If it makes it easier for you then it'll be fine and I think it only really makes things faster rather than the battles themselves being harder.
2 weeks in a row with challenge videos? We truly are blessed.
Honestly, I just wanna see you do more gen 5 challenges. So I don't mind the EXP changes. Go crazy.
Entertaining as always! I'm okay with the experience change. It means a possibility of more Gen 5 runs.
Hearing “hey everyone Mah-Dry-Bread here” again honestly has made my week, its so good to have you back! Wishing you continuing support and health in your recovery :)
Week 68: would you be able to beat Pokémon Crystal with a team of only one Porygon.
I’m feeling emotional because I didn’t realize I went three months without you and suddenly I got you for two weeks in a row. Love you, man.
I heard from Youngster Joey over in Johto that watching MDB on Twitch or following him on Twitter gives you superpowers that allow you to watch videos before they're released😉
So glad to see you up and going again man. I've missed your content. If you need to adjust the runs to be better for your health you've got my support. As a heart patient I understand the strain, and you don't deserve the unneeded stress
Tbh I'd say use the other exp system. The challenge isn't imposed by how long it takes to do. The challenge is how much thought and prep you need to put into these runs. That isn't changed by how quickly you level up.
MDB, you’ve already proven that you’re more committed to the challenge than literally any other challenge runner out there. Take it easy on yourself and correct this god awful XP system so you can do more Gen 5 runs!
I think changing the xp wouldn’t make the run easier, just faster. Therefore, and especially at the present moment in time , you should use the amended xp rules.
This is a very good philosophy, faster doesn't always equal easier!
Glad that you've been able to start up challenge videos again. Your videos are consistently awesome. Take care of yourself and can't wait for what you do next.
Great challenge. I think you should change the EXP to the old system. It doesn't add a challenge. It only makes it more painful.
this, sure some people may get upset, but that'll happen anyway.
@@ddjsoyenby yeah. People would be mad either way. There no changing that. Less suffering for him and more videos for us. We may even get some more let's plays.
MDB Great video as always. I’m fine if you do the exp change specially if it makes grinding easier for you. Hope your health slowly keeps improving
Mah Dry it is so good to see you back man. After the Chansey run I was expecting a short hiatus but it's great to see you stringing challenges together like this! Hope you physiotherapy is going well, and hoping your recovery keeps going as smoothly as possible!
Yeah I'd definitely swap the exp rules. It doesn't change how many levels you need and it's not like rare candy or anything. I think it's fair
I’m really glad you are doing better MDB, you’re one of my favorite UA-camrs.
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
you can only use rare candies if you have a level limit. maybe rare candies as a catch up to your lowest level team member or the max level of the next gym.
@@Rjthewolf Yeah, I'm not saying to go wild on them, but considering the nature of these runs it wouldn't do much to limit it to gym level, but in the same way he grinds up 2-3 levels between attempts, rare candies would make that take a minute, not 2 hours
Oh yes please! Use the old experience system setting, i dont think it changes the run much. I’d love to see more gen 5 runs!
I like how you use "Can i beat _____?" instead "Can you beat ____?" it makes the content feel more genuine.
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)
I found your channel via Jrose11's Pokemon Solo-run series. I am in the middle of watching every single one of them. After watching a Solo-run video of yours, I subbed right away. I really love the Solo runs - especially in Gen 1-2 & FireRed / LeafGreen. Please keep them coming!
So happy to see challenges two weeks in a row now that you're on the way up a little bit! Hope you keep getting better and start to feel 100% soon!
I don't really find grinding to be part of the challenge you aren't doing permadeath or anything so I say just do whatever makes the grind less painful. Really glad to see you feeling well enough to do challenges again they really brighten up my morning commute.
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!!
Welcome back, it's really good see that you're well enough to make videos again!
Super excited that the man is back doing awesome runs and great videos
Yeah!! Keep it up! Glad to see you posting again! Missed your challenges a lot.
i really like BW challenges but i understand that you dont do them because of how exp gains work there but i really enjoy when you do black runs! And it would be OK for you to standardize the exp curve to match older gems by me
I'm so happy you're back, my dude. I checked a few times (since I never get notifications from the community tab thing) if I missed any updates and I was kinda worried, but it's good to see you're on the mend (at least a bit).
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.
Again, glad to see you pop up in my sub feed again, my dude and I wish you all the best and a full recovery!
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).
did not expect to see one this week so thats great glad your are back fully to this
i dont know if you read the comments for run suggestions but i would love to see a poocheyana run in either saphire or emerald
MDB IN YOUR BIGGEST DESKFAN
Hi MDB, nice that you're back and that you're (slowly) feeling better! :)
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.)
Honestly any quality of life changes you want to make to make grinding easier should be a given. We don’t watch you because we like to see ya trudge through a grind, we watch you for your charisma and creativity! Keep it up 💖
I'm so astonished to get another video only a week later! We all wish you the best on your recovery journey MDB ❤️ Glad to see you get to come back to doing what you love.
I don’t think anyone would be mad or upset if you were to use rare candies to level up and cut on the grinding!! Hope all is well, love the videos!
I’m glad to see you back posting content for us im hoping everything is going well with your health journey. I do my own Pokémon challenges (not recorded yet) because of you and I see what you go through it’s not easy lol hope you get well soon!
Seeing a gen 5 challenge run again makes my heart flutter with happiness and excitement! This has always been my personal favorite generation (even despite my nostalgia for gen 2 being the gen I started with) since the days it was the newest gen. This was a fun one to watch too! Hope to see more gen 5 in the future :) (but tbh I literally watch all of these Pokemon challenge runs)
23:10
Zoroark being called Zekrom is a highlight
Adding my voice to the people saying that I'd be down for changing the EXP system while playing Gen 5.
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.
Thanks for another good run MDB! Keep taking care of yourself, and we'll see you in the next one.
Hearing you 2 weeks in a row is wonderful - hope you're feeling better
Glad to have you back. Love your content especially your mini rants and rambling
Honestly, changing the EXP system back to normal is the way to go. Grinding is not a challenge, it's just tedious, and it makes doing challenges waaaaay less fun. 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
Im glad you're back, and doing better, I've missed these challenge runs from you, just don't over exert yourself please
About the Gen 5 exp system, personally, I'd say leave it as it is, as it's what makes doing a Gen 5 run different, even if it is more annoying/harder. It might be longer, so you can't do them as often, but I wouldn't mind that myself
I hope you recover fully soon man, I can't imagine how much stress you've been through
Just want to say, I'd also be happy if you changed the exp system
Good to see that you're well enough to do two new challenges. Here's hoping that recovery is as steady as it can be.
Firstly, I'm so glad you're back!
Secondly, I gotta to say, after months of missing you, I would have loved to see a couple of months of only pokemon runs, since now I'm basically going to have 2 weeks until a challenge I will definitely not watch and then 1-2 weeks to the next pokemon one...
Thirdly and most importantly, I wish you good health.
Honestly I'm glad your back and all I can say for the exp, is you do you it's your content. If you find a way that you prefer to make it then who's anyone to complain about the free content your giving them.
So glad to see you back man. And whatever you do with the exp system I'm fine with either way, whatever works for you.
So refreshing to have you back. I definitely missed your content
Glad to see you're well enough to pump out some videos mate!
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
I think the same logic of using rare candies applies for the exp share change. If it is simply to save time grinding just change it as it's not adding extra challenges but just taking more time. Plus it would be great to see more gen 5 runs
For the EXP: on team challenges, leave it gen5 to encourage creativity.
For solo runs, make it like previous gens because there are so many times you have to grind out levels to progress
I'm glad you're back, man. And yeah changing the exp mechanics to older ones makes sense for challenge runs.
Glad you're feeling better dude! I hope you get back to 100 percent/feel better soon. I just wanted you to know that some people care. :D
I was NOT expecting this, considering your current state of health. But okay! Love the videos, MDB! Stay strong!
You certainly sound lime you've got some energy in your voice. Super happy about that. Sounds like recovery is happening. Pace yourself as much as you feel you need to. We're here and will always be.
Edit: to add my 2 cent id say anything that cuts down on superfluous things like grinding especially in your current state are fair game. I know some people are gonna complain about how 'it apart of this particular gens challenge' and all level grinding effect nothing but your time. The only thing being challenged is your patience and desire to actually play the game itself.
I'm so glad you are making videos again, and hope your health gets better. My son and I always waited for Saturdays for your videos and now we do again.
I love when you do Black+white runs, it was honestly my favourite game out of all of them growing up! I’d love to see a black 2 run!
it's great to see you back man love your content. also the new dwarv fortress is out. when you are back to 100% i hope we get to see some gameplay but dont start until long gameplays wont effect your health. thank you for the great videos!
Hey MDB! Glad you are starting to feel better. You do this for fun and as a person who plays a lot of Pokemon myself so in my opinion switch the XP back to regular as Gen 5 is painful. Kudos to you for how many times you have cleared Gen 5 but the pain is real. But in the end do what you feel is right. Take care man!
I say adjust the experience in the randomizer for gen 5 runs. Black and White are my favorite games (in addition to Legends Arceus, which feels unfair to compare). I'm happy for anything that gives us more challenges in B&W!
I’m so happy for another video, I’m glad you’re feeling better and I hope you continue to get better. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family!
Glad your doing a bit better, hopefully things just keep improving for you. As for the EXP thing, I think you should switch to the normal system. It won't get rid of the need to grind but we won't have to feel as bad for you when you have to do it with the normal system.
As for suggestions (mostly since you always ask and I want things to feel as normal as possible for you) I'm going to say Pokemon Gold with a single Murkrow.
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!
I love seeing black and white runs! Black2/white2 are my favorite pre-switch pokemon games
Glad to see you back. Commenting at the start of the video, cuz I think it's able to be done. Best of luck
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.
Glad to have you back MDB. Hope you continue to get better.
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!
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.^^
Glad you're feeling better and making videos again!
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.
I absolutely adore Black and White, so I definitely say turn the experience option on. I'd love to see more of this game!
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
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.
@23:11 damn i hate it when zekrom cosplays as klinklang 😔
loving the videos as always and even more now because they mean you're doing what you want! wishing the best for your health
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.
Aaaayyyyy!!! 2 weeks in a row. I understand these are scheduled uploads but that just means you’re doing well enough to do editing and voice over for several videos. Awesome, man! ☺️
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.
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.
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!
Also, that's funny u had trouble w/ dust clouds cause I always got then while in the caves
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!
Awesome to see you back my man hopefully your health will also keep getting better and better
So glad you're well enough to make more vids and hope you get well soon, much love from Toronto!
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.
Glad to have you back man!!
Hell yeah, more dwarf fortress, the old game series ended seeming abruptly so im really excited to see more!
Glad youre back dude! Missed your videos :D
