On our way through, I took the Skull Fossil. I knew if I didn’t say what I took, you’d all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone asks anyway. Comments are good for the UA-cam algorithm.

I mess up Machoke and Machamp so much. Really, you'd think it would be easier to remember. But Machamp has so many arms and for some reason, my mind thinks that it could really put you in a choke hold. I've been trying to correct this by telling myself that Machamp is at the top. It works for the most part!
I'd love to see a solo run with Politoed! I loved the tropius in HG run, it was so interesting to see tropius outside of its usual gen. Politoed in kalos or unova, perhaps?
I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
I'd sometimes forget a pokemon's name, but I never got it mixed up with its evolutions before. So Gamefreak made Finizen and Palafin to fix that. I can almost NEVER remember Finizen. I sometimes forget Palafin is an evolved mon 😅
I almost never mixed up evolution lines until the Pawmi line existed… it’s not that I forget the order they go in, they just… god they all look so similar that sometimes I’ll go “oh a pawmot!” And it’s a pawmo….
Oblivion/Skyrim with daedeic artifacts only Its not much of a challenge but Fallout with big guns only is pretty fun. You could also try a fat man only run.... The challenge would be not blowing yourself up and it could be funny
MDBAMA: In black and white play throughs, why don’t you take on Cynthia or Alder? You take on Red in silver and gold play throughs and Steven in Emerald. I’m gonna keep asking till I get on MDBAMA.
Hey , Mister whose Bread may or may Not be mine , but it is most definitely not wet....what fossil did you take? I heard that its great for the everchanging youtube algorithm. #TwitterGang #ThanxYoungsterJoey
During the early part of the run you could have used taunt to force the enemys to attack you, making so you did more damage Love your content and good luck to you in healing and all your challenges
Your question about confusing pokemon with something else in their evolution line, nothing recently but when I was a young kid I got Pidgeotto and Pidgeot confused sometimes 😂 always a joy to watch your videos and see what random memories pop up that I thought I had long forgotten. Keep up the great work as always ❤ gives me something to look forward to every weekend 😊
I get Staru and Starmi mixed up all the time. Edit: I've loved Misdreavus ever since Pokemon Colusseum. Glad to see she did so well in this challenge run!
Pokémon evolutions I’ve mixed up: Pidgeotto and Pidgeot, mostly because I was a kid who didn’t know that much about Gen 1 and kind of assumed the longer name would be the more evolved mon. Plus, without the big head feather they look very similar.
Couple helpful things for future runs like this (comments are good for the UA-cam Algorithm): most if not all pokemon resource websites (Serebii, Bulbapedia) list the abilities in the same order the game uses: So a Glameow caught with Ability Slot 1 (Limber) evolves into a Purugly with Ability Slot 1 (Thick Fat) (which would be helpful if you are just catching multiple of a pokemon until it has a decent nature/ability, which i was glad to hear you doing for Misdreavus). Also, the Lustrous Orb (and Adamant Orb in Diamond) are just at the back of Spear Pillar after catching Palkia/Dialga. They provide the same type boosts as other type boosting items (splash plate, etc.) but for both STABs, so makes your dragon attacks stronger too
#MDBAMA I love the Pokemon runs a lot BUT are there any non pokémon challenges in the works because I miss seeing you do other challenges in different games ?
Mdb, I've been lurking and watching videos for years now and honestly don't think I've ever commented, but I had a great (and terrible) idea the other day. I saw someone the other day on Reddit completed emerald with 6 surskit and gave me the idea to do an entire run with only 1, honestly, I don't think I've ever seen you do a surskit run before and I feel like that would be just absolutely brutal. I would love to see that sometime tbh, I've even thought about doing it myself though lol. It doesn't have to be emerald but any game would work I feel
I can 1000% understand where you're coming with regarding the fixing sleep schedules thing. It's not _as_ bad as it used to be when I was younger, but I've always had my sleep schedule move later and later, and I used to always get myself into a position where it was so bad that I would need to fix my sleep schedule, and the only way I could do it was - similar to what you're describing - staying up as long as I possibly could, passing out and sleeping as much as possible, and then doing the same thing again, until I was back on a normal schedule, which usually took a couple of days. Now that I am using a CPAP for my horrible sleep apnea, and am currently not working due to my chronic migraines making working not currently feasible (meaning I am not exactly worried about any schedules), I've been far more comfortably able to settle into my body's natural schedule of about 10:30AM to 2:30AM, with only slight variations, usually only _really_ veering off of that when I have a particularly severe migraine that has me in bed the entire day, but my body is now much better at returning to that expected schedule on it's own without any outside influence now.
Funny thing MDB, I was struggling with my sleep schedule and my Psych doctor told me that the research suggests that neurodivergent individuals will have an easier time resetting their sleep cycles by moving the hours forward, just like you said worked for you, and the doc recommended I do the same and it worked.
I'd love to see a Pokemon Emerald/FireRed run with only one Gorebyss. Gorebyss is such a weird and underwhelming Pokemon, and you only get it at nearly the end on the Hoenn games. It would be interesting to see how it fares from the very beginning.
8:58 for me it's Pawmi, Pawmo, and Pawmot (from Gen 9) watching the new Lockstin video on them both helps remember and affirms that they are far too similar
Yes Version exclusives again those became my favorite runs 🙌 The final boss of messing Up names in Evolution lines has to be the Pawmot Line in Gen 9. Its a freaking Pika clone that just stands Up by evolving. And then the last Evolution just gets bigger. I mess them up
MDB I just finished watching your playthrough of Black & White 2 the other day! Enjoyed it! Do you have any other playthroughs you've done like that you can recommend?
It all works better now I only go to bed every other night. Means I get 3/4hrs in one go, 5 if I'm really lucky, and I'm not pissed off inbetween for being unable to sleep
Also maybe Pokémon Platinum version exclusive run would interesting. You're missing a ton of core team members and many of the new evos are trade focused so you can struggle mid to late game
wonder how many challenges we are away from until he runs out. run with every pokemon in each game. version exclusives on each game. and so on. that's still easily over 1000 runs which isn't including any new pokemon games that come out.
Once again requesting Platinum with only version exclusives. Magmar*, Electabuzz*, Tangela, and Tropius are available in game in Platinum, but aren’t found anywhere in DP (even in the post game), and that’d make an interesting team to compare to DP * You can technically get Elekid and Magby in DP’s post game, but only if you insert a FRLG cart
I don’t usually mix up evolutionary lines; however, I ALWAYS feel like Alomomola is a Luvdisc evolution via friendly evolution. MDBAMA: What is the single clunkiest, most awkward to use Pokémon you have ever used whether in a challenge or out of it?
If I look correctly your current team you will get. And my prediction will goes like that: You will end up about the "sames" levels as your diamond exclusive version only instead having a lot of offensive pokémon you have at least one sure tank in your team and a more balance in term of move pool & type diversity. Sheldon & Bastiodon are made to have huge defense. Glameow & Purugly would be your main jack of all trade movement wise. A lot of normal type pokémon have a good range cover to deal divers attack types. As for Misdreavus & Mismagius I think it would be your main special offense. They are maybe not the best, but for this challenge I think you will get a better time balance wise, but a harder time for damaging. (Edit after video) Huh it's seems this prediction was at somehow 70/75% right. Except for Glameow & Purugly, I think most of what I have predict was right. Like The fact Bastiodon was a rank got her job done right, Mismagius being the main attacker because of her Special defense, the fact you get a slower start but reaching out the end with the same level as the Diamond version. Yeah I'm pretty glad I guess right with this challenge. Seems my knowlegde over the game didn't totally wiped out. Pokémon Challenge suggestion: You are free to go with the game of your choice, but the challenges is using only middle evolution stage pokémon. (For Exemple: If you pick Bulbasaur as your starter, you can only battle with Ivysaur.) You are not allowed to use pokémon who's has no evolution or only 1, it must be a pokémon with a 2 stage linear Evolution. So pokémon like Eevee or Tyrogue are not allowed, but pokémon like Oddish, Poliwag or Ralts are allowed. Try number: 23
My suggestion : Pokemon White2 or Black2 with only one Maractus ! 🌵 😁

Mismagius is probably gonna do a lot of the heavy lifting considering its the only non Legendary in the team with a decent Special Attack.

For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee.

I learned recently... that natures only change stats to 1.1 and 0.9 of base... which is less than I ever expected
Mismagius being an absolute beast. Bastiodon just tanking everything. Purugly... existing.
It did use attract in the end, that's something
I'd sometimes forget a pokemon's name, but I never got it mixed up with its evolutions before.
So Gamefreak made Finizen and Palafin to fix that. I can almost NEVER remember Finizen. I sometimes forget Palafin is an evolved mon 😅

The limited selection of available Pokemon in Colosseum really made me appreciate some of them, Misdreavus included.
