I’m so used to youtubers guilt tripping their fans for only wanting one type of content from them that it was kinda refreshing to hear Ant just say nah dude everybody does that just watch what you wanna watch it’s not a big deal
yeah it’s like, good content is a combination of factors. lots people like to go on about staying for the person and it’s like for most you need to have a good personality and I have to be interested in what specifically you’re doing. I can’t FORCE myself through videos I’m not invested in, sorry. you could be the most charming charismatic person on earth and that would still be the case for me. a shame, I know that a lot of content creators suffer with this kind of stuff. but that’s just how it is for me.
There is a bug catcher in Petalburg Woods that has a Nincada, if you rematch him (I don't know if it has to be multiple times or not), he has a team of Ninjask and Shedinja. As a kid, I lost to him, since I didn't have a single super effective move, and thought I just kept missing. But like, you'd never run into them during a challenge run, or even most casual playing
People don't tend to think about the Battle Frontier when doing challenges like this, but I honestly think it might be a lot of fun trying it with this mod on.
Honestly, it's such a flex to beat a trainer with their EXACT same team setup... Smallant out there just roasting the entirety of the Hoenn region in this one 😂
yeah, it would be really helpful if there were some kind of info what day this stream was. It doesnt have to be in the title, but the description would be nice
"We can get softlocked so easily!" Yeah man, shadow tag wobbuffet with leftovers. "What if our pokemon can't learn the HM's?!" ... Seems more likely yeah.
That hunch on how he blew up is accurate. Never heard of smallant until Mandjtv reacted to Platinum no damage run. Now I’m listening to this guy constantly. No complaints
I would love to see a battle frontier run of this mod done by SmallAnt. I think that it could be an impressive challenge to do and to see all the strategies you'd come up with.
It would be funny if there was a abomisnow and frostlass and he uses the frost lass and ominous winds the abomisnow and then uses the abomisnow to finish off the team
Imagine spending your life training your team of Pokemon, pouring your heart and soul into your team, learning, and bonding with them... Then some kid comes in with the exact same team and beats you.
I love when people try to questions SmAnts knowledge on Pokemon and make blatantly false claims like, "An Elite 4 member has a Shedinja." Like, are these people serious or just fooling around.
I played 15 years ago and remember the elite 4 has no shedinja I do remember something crazy tho from when I played silver suicune while no badges: oh hi there
I really appreciate how ant handled the "you suck bro" comment. Very mature and even forgiving :) didn't ban them. Just called em out, said hey that's not ok. And that was that:)) If you see this ant, you're a good person and I appreciate you :) very emotionally mature, and I'd even say you're a good role model for those watching you.
HMs will be confusing but should be manageable since zigzagoon is everywhere and learns so many HMs. Getting to the elite four might be a challenge though...

Sonicboom is the sound generated by the shock waves a physical object creates when surpassing the speed of sound.

Shock wave as in "wave of electricity" Shock wave as in "compressional wave caused by a shock" .... shock as in "a violent shaking movement caused by an impact, explosion, or tremor"
Platinum No Damage might've been the first video by you that I saw, though I've seen your earlier Pokemon challenges as well so I'm 100% on the order. Probably was a case of the UA-cam algorithm for me.
A wild speed run strat is in the beginning when first talking to may, if you go into her room(upstairs) then u can go down stairs and she will come up to you. So u don't need to go talk to the pokeball
The Ditto thing. Ditto can Transform into Ditto, but you can't transform into a transformed Pokemon. So if two Dittos duke it out, whichever Ditto goes first will eternally Transform into the opposing Ditto, since Transform's PP will keep getting reset, whereas whichever Ditto goes second will fail to Transform because the first Ditto is considered a Ditto transformed into a different Ditto, causing the second Ditto to eventually run out of PP and begin to Struggle.
Found you through Pokémon and I really hope you continue making Pokémon challenges, it’s rough waiting so long for a Pokémon video but I’ll always tune in when there is one. Appreciate your work.
Looking back at it, I’ve been here for a long time. But only on the UA-cam side. If not two years, it has to be like a year and a half. And it’s been a blast.
Only 40 min in, but i think you might as well just make it so that any pokemon can learn any HM. It would prevent soft-locking, and the real challenge here is having the same team as your opponent, not trying to make sure you have certain pokemon for HMs at any given time.
@@ihatemotionblur_3255 yeah but if he does more challenges like this in the future this is good feedback anyway. Plus something AtSign could implement on his mods too. So it doesn't matter that the challenge is over, good feedback is good feedback.

I come from your other youtube channel and I am surprised that I enjoy your stream content. I am normally more into shorter videos, like 1 hour MAX, but this is very entertaining and I like having it play in the background. Subscribed :)

So yeah, it is not something that is outlawed if you would, but there is indeed many regulations. Cheers, Ant! I love this video so far! :)
"They don't get my team, I get their team" ahhh ok, my thoughts were the same as chat, I thought the challenger was a mirror of YOUR team Edit: the titles and description make it more confusing and contradict yourself, if you somehow see this I hope you can edit it to better clarify please

My favorite part was about 10mins in when smallant realized what he got himself into

He is a Ditto that became so strong that it now imitates everyone's pokemon and disguises himself as a trainer
