- Playthrough Rules:
1. Only my starter in battle
2. No items in battle*
3. No glitches or exploits*
4. No Double-Team TM before level 100*
Other rules:
-- *Pokeballs & Pokedolls are allowed in battle
-- *The badge-boost glitch is not restricted at all
-- *Skipping the Rocket Hideout & Marowak is allowed
-- I play the game at 4x game speed (238 frames per second)
-- My Pokemon has perfect DVs
-- The Trash-Can-Puzzle is automatically solved so times are not affected by RNG
-- The bike is allowed (the bike skip is not)
-- Skipping the bike is not allowed
-- Saving between league members is allowed
-- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
*Double-Team:
-- Almost every Pokemon can learn Double-Team through TM
-- The TM can be purchased in Celadon
-- Using it would centralize the meta
-- Every Pokemon would use it to overcome tough battles at lower levels
-- It raises evasion
-- It triggers the badge boost
-- Banning the TM allows Pokemon who learn it through level up to use it
-- I believe evasion is part of Pokemon and shouldn't be banned entirely
-- I don't want the videos to all be double-team spam though, that's not fun or entertaining

I would love to know how Abra would do if it just started with confusion at lvl 5
sweeps the floor with absolute ease
Would be interesting
Abra has no way of acquiring confusion at this level. It can't get confusion as an egg move.
But, it should learn rest by level up because Abra sleeps all day. It can even teleport in its sleep.
But, sadly, it doesn't. It only learns teleport.
@@dakotashroom5401 Rest would make it even worse because you wouldn't be able to effectively use Struggle early.
@@dakotashroom5401 That’s why it’s a hypothetical
Thank you for suffering through "Struggling against Brock: The movie: The game" for the sake of science and our enjoyment, I really do appreciate your sacrifices :D To see the contrast between starting with level 5 Gen 1 Abra and hatched level 5 Gen 2 Abra is really interesting and goes to show how imbalanced Gen 1 is because of the yet to happen special split :D
I can't stress enough how much I love the artwork for some of the more challenging trainers like The Rapping Lass or The Self-destructing Hiker, which, if I might add, would be hella funny if his mons themselves were drawn as bombs.
And as always, amazing vid, Scott! Appreciate your pain for our entertainment ❤️
I don't think that lass is spitting rhymes bro
Lol she did have a mic
Self destruct only run when?
Same, was just about to comment that!
Took the comment right from my fingertips.
Scott: Venomoth is a Dark-Bug type.
Abra's Psychic: Hits
Me: I am confusion.
Big confusion there because Dark type didn't exist in Gen1^^'
@@teaspoon4124 they meant to say poison bug type
I was thrown off by that too, like what? That type doesn't even exist yet
@@LilacMonarch dude you clearly haven't seen any of his videos
@@LilacMonarch sometimes he says psychic fairy, it's a joke
Wow, this run is bound to be... magical.
Some would say... special?!
@@goodmanwiseman303 🙏
I love the consistent videos scott! Been watching you since the beginning and it makes me so happy to see you still at it and getting more and more followers. Keep up the great work bud.
Scott got me into watching Pokémon UA-cam challenges and I love them so much because of him
He’s legit one of the best content creators imo
Thank you so much! This was so nice to read. I’ll keep the work up and more improvements will show up soon!
Scott, you manage to outdo yourself every video. The production quality just goes up and up, and the data you're collecting in each run feels like it makes an actual difference in the subsequent runs. Oh, and seeing Abra be the worst and then near the best in the same video is WILD. Kudos for another great video, Scott, from one musician to another!
I’m really excited to start finding better ways to visualize all the data!
You want seismic toss vs Zam and Exegg, although I see why it was tempting to burn that TM in the early game. I'll admit I didn't expect to see toxic here. It does work well with rest. However, you may have been able to squeeze by at a lower level with psychic, seismic toss, rest and toxic. You may want to rethink mimic strats or even rest on squishy mons like Abra because they can't risk setting up and don't stall well. Although it might be funny to have a swords dancing Abra. Another possibility here is actually mimicking leech seed which would boost your stall much more than toxic, allowing you to KO faster with seismic toss.
Also I have no clue why you'd pick fire punch over barrier. Psychic, ice punch, thunderpunch and barrier would've carried you all the way through the champion. It's why I had this jank moveset on my Mewtwo in Gen 4 with charge beam, icy wind, psychic and drain punch lol.
It took me about 3 whole minutes of staring at your comment to figure out Zam meant Alakazam lol
I think Seismic Toss is worth keeping on even an Alakazam just to deal with bulky psychics like Slowbro and Exeggutor. Since, what else are you going to teach him?
I was resting my eyes listening to this, my consciousness faded for a moment and we went from Koga to Agatha. This was expected with Abra's special and Psychic but man the run's speed jumped exponentially.
Anyone else imagining two really buff Kadabra chanting "spoonless, spoonless" at our little Kimah...i mean, Abra?
I love how in depth you get with every pokemon. Provides a lot of knowledge for different situations and I've used this knowledge while playing not only Blue version but Pokemon Stadium recently as well! Thanks Scott, keep up the good vids man.
Man Stadium really forces you to rethink what you know about Pokemon
Abra gets put into the Bruno tier.
Abra: "No F*ing way!" Time Travels to the future and learns the elemental punches before coming back for round 2.
I love the "what-if" bit in the end! Even if it trivializes the idea, it was a nice section to showcase "an unleashed potential."
I would like to see similar to be done with other Pokémon but I started to realize it wouldn't work as nicely with others. Like Caterpie, Kakuna nor Magikarp won't benefit from the generational shift at all, and legendary birds would make sense only for giving something to play with before they start to learn level up moves.
So what's only left, is a hack where you could use newer Pokémon with only moves that existed in Gen 1.
Probably a topic for another time.
Tangela gets amnesia, mega drain..
Caterpie cold be interesting in a hack that added newer moves. It gained STAB with Bug Bite in gen-4, and gained coverage with Electro Web in gen-5.
@@jackruby6696 Tangela with Amnesia and Confusion would make a huge difference in Gen 1 run but it wouldn't be as huge as with Abra. However, Tangela learns Mega Drain and Growth in Gen 1 so I don't know how much difference Confusion would make (which reminds me to rewatch the Tangela run).
@@enitheway well starting out with it instead of bind would make a huuuge difference
@@EmeralBookwise Oh, I meant more like having Grubbin but only with moves that existed in Gen 1. In this logic. Newer generations provide better tools to basically everyone, even Magikarp got a STAB Hydro Pump. I just find it more interesting to see how newer Pokémon would handle the limitations that Gen 1 had.
I love the frequency and quality of these videos, by far best Pokemon runs on YT. I can honestly say I think you've surpassed even jrose
I love that you keep improving the small cinematic animations just before important battles. Your attention to detail is really noticeable and it's very appreciated. Well done, mate.
Glad it makes a difference! I’m sort of obsessed with making the small visual things better week after week.
I had the same comment in mind, i love them, i lold at the selfdestructing hiker sprite 🤣
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Love the Gym leaders now having their teams with them! Plus the evil Kabutops was a hilarious touch!
9:33 Wow never realized she was exclusive to yellow. Though Yellow was my favorite generation 1 game so i must of just misremember her being in red the other gen 1 game i had as a kid
I love the detail that Spoonless' on screen sprite changes thoughout the video
Abra is physically frail, starts with only Teleport and will need to use Struggle, No level up moves, the majority of Kanto TMs are physical attacks, and the closest things to consistent special attack damage it can exploit are TM Psychic and TM Mimic which aren't even accessible until roughly half way through the run.
Getting strategically creative with your limited moveset options and good TM management seems like it will be key aspects of getting the best run possible.
No shit
Gen 2 Abra story: The second time I played through the Crystal Clear romhack, I decided to go beat Blue first (since it lets you tackle gyms in any order, scaling up/down gym leaders' teams based on your badge count).
I expected an easy fight against something like an Eevee and Pidgey, but he crushed me with an elemental-punch Abra. Since then, that OP glass cannon sleepy fox feels more quintessentially "Blue" to me than either Eevee or Squirtle.
Did I spend the entire weekend going back and rewatching Scott’s videos? Perhaps… The 70 hour weeks have gotten real old for the past 3 months. I appreciate you big time.
Hopefully work slows down for you, 70 hour weeks are really demanding. At least the content has helped you make it through!
First thought upon seeing this video was "If he does multiple playthroughs dealing with this things nightmare Brock matchup we need to have an intervention"
The Comedy/Tragedy of Champion losses on the rerun was best laugh I have had in a while! You can hear the OMGWTFBBQBS in your voice as the counter racks up!
Oh, my cheeks hurt!
The stats on the side are such a nice tough. Incredibly powerful. Might get rid of the movepool portion tho so the stats are enlarged and less hard to read -- incredible content
Working to make both more legible.
I'm loving the touch of putting your avatar on the left side with the Pokémon you're using during the Gym Battle transitions x3
I love how "We Don't Talk About Bruno" has become canon to this channel's lore.
I had a robust team of 5 in a recent playthrough of Crystal version. One of them was an Alakazam with the Psychic + Punches moveset, and it nearly became an Alakazam solo run. I had to use one of the others against Karen's Houndoom and Umbreon, but that was it.
for each video you make, you are getting closer and closer to pokemon crystal, sunkern only ;)
Im so glad you did a run with good moves I'd love to see something similar for other pokemon its possible with
Love the gym leader intros. Having you and Abra vs the gym leader and their mons is a very nice visual touch. Also, the recurring boss trainers like the (w)rapping lass and boom hiker having art is incredible.
Abra is amazing. If only jigglypuff's stat distribution was like him ;(
P.s. holy shit I appreciate your love for Abra man!!! I really do appreciate all the replays
Is the battle with Prof. Oak going to be in all the videos going forward? Would be pretty cool since it's not something the other challenge youtubers do, even if it's off the clock.
It will always be in the videos :)
"Onix, go! Its him again I'm not getting out of my hammock"
I love the small details like changing the abra sprite on the left or the small and quick messages like "nice" between the name and hp bar
I feel like I'm betraying one of my favorite youtubers, Jrose. But I really enjoyed this! You earned a sub+
Don't think of it as taking attention away from someone you love. Think of it as spreading their love to other people.
Love the art you got for the wrapping lass and self destructing hiker.
I don't know how I came aross this channel but I guess this will be my next series to binge watch
Enjoy! Glad to have you here :)
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon I seem to be addicted to these challenges
half two is what the Abra line truly is. gold and silver is basically just the Kadabra element punch show.
How in the hell do you not have as many subs as Jrose11? You're just as good as him, if not better. I hope you get there one day.
Working my hardest to get 50k!
Love the new preview of you/your Pokémon and the gym leaders/their Pokémon!
IMHO this is your best video yet. Having the original run where Abra struggled so hard to get past Brock and then the contrast of how easily it gets through everything except the elite 4 and champion in the run with moves it can be transferred back to gen 1 with from gen 2 was really awesome to see. Really highlighted how night and day things can be for Abra.
Thanks Shima! I worked hard on this one! Hopefully there are still improvements in the future too
I love your content but I gotta admit it was your blooper reels that broke me and won my sub 😂
Gotta be candid with ya, Scott.
As far as I could follow, conserving most, if not all, of your rare candies for the endgame is almost *always* your better play for savinf time and resets, instead than using them to skip training.
(EDIT:)...also, I must commend you for your incredible patience with pokemon like Abra in your playthrough dex. It is impressive how much your willing to suffer through the brock split to make these videos we enjoy.
I thought that was the case too but it isn’t in all circumstances. For initial playthroughs it’s the best choice. Especially with first stage Pokémon. But if a Pokémon has a lot of power I tends to be better for real-time to use some around the level jump in the mid game.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon true. Though I think an argument can be made that for well, most initial playthroughs, that both the early game grind, and the time spent training and gaining stat experience in the beginning is often a better investment and saves time when than slogging through the midgame.
Abra isn't a fair example, per se, but it's a pattern for many fast and fragile mons are that getting lower levels at brock split likely corrolates with a less consistent mid or late game.
Oftentimes anecdotally those few extra early game trainers can mean easier consistency all the way till the inevitable Koga/Sabrina/Blaine split...
But that's my hypotheses, anyway.
Noctowls for the Blood god. Dennis for the Skull Throne.
That artwork for ice punch/barrier Abra is awesome and strangely badass.
It is!
Loved the entire multi layered saga of this video but I'll be honest, the bloopers made me subscribe 😂 You've got such a knack for this and I can't wait to see what's next!
Haha the bloopers were genius idea by someone in the comments section! Knowing I have a bloopers section allows me to just relax and have fun with the recording process!
This editing is really well done, love seeing the stat changing after a move like growl etc
Nice usage of free pokeballs from Oak lab at beginning for money. I also have used Abra trading with elemental punches from Gen 2 for a fun play, despite Abra can get strong, it is still a weak 1st stage pokemon after all, so all kind of thing can happen, imagine Jolteon with pin missile for example; love how some part of video Abra just drove you crazy, true comedic stuff; "up next is a waste of time, then another waste of time, then another..." then start to drive you crazy again, lol, Great Video!
Giving the 1st stages good moves is an interesting idea for a post vanilla run.
53:11 - Your overconfidence was your downfall!
I've said plenty during the Premiere Chat but I just wanted to add how much I adore all the Abra picture edits you had on the side. It was a cool way to present the differences between the Abras as well as your 1st Abra's increasing capabilities.
"Brocks rock-hard snake released his pent up energy" ... so thats how you call it today
Mega Punch is the bane of many successful runs in both Red/Blue and the remakes. FR/LG decided to remedy the lack of any damage dealing moves by adding...Mega Kick and Rock Tomb 😳 really makes you appreciate any Pokémon that starts with good attack move .
An Abra using Seismic Toss sounds dangerous as f...
Abra teleports to its target, grapples, then does consecutive teleports higher into the sky, letting go of its target and teleporting safely to the ground!
I'm officially calling the update of Abra from gen 1 to gen 2 "sleepy boi glow up"
That early game was insane!!
Like how you put the fire in the ice on his hands in the thumbnail. That would have been really fitting...if this was a gen 2 playthrough.
I'm VERY happy that you did the second part! :D very satisfying :D
... AND the third ending :D
“Honey!!!! Get up!!!! SCOTT’S THOUGHTS UPLOADED!!!!”
Abra can't learn Dig because it doesn't have a spoon to dig with, obv.
I always knew that Abra with the elemental punches would be a monster. I actually tried to do a solo of Gold with him, but Bugsy and Rival 2 are walls to rival Brock despite being so close to Ice Punch. And there’s no TMs to learn in Gen 2 before Ilex Forest except Flash.
On the plus side in Gen 2 you can pack Punch TMs for the E4 if you get past that wall so you can reteach them freely to recover PP and tech in the proper element for each fight.
You inspired me to do a piplup run on Brilliant diamond, thanks man you taught me a new way to enjoy these games
OMG such an amazing run! I was so hyped when you did the whole GenTwo run at the end! So hyped about the future Ditto and Weedle runs XD
Edit: Also LOVE the lil image changes with your Pokemon
Your second run of Abra was everything I was dreaming of during your first run. Vindicatiooooon!!!
It felt so good!
I’ve been playing Pokémon since the beginning and I never knew Professor Oak could give you those five poke balls. You have made me question everything I know!!
Great video, dude. Enjoyed the "What If...?" segment at the end there using moves from Pokemon Crystal.
Teleport over and over until struggle is gonna be a pain
Hello Scott!
Started watching your videos fairly recently but I find myself always wanting to watch them again and again! I actually got inspired to start trying my own solo attempts as well.
Specifically I did a solo Nidoking run of Pokémon yellow last night on my twitch stream, beating the league at level 63 with a couple resets here and there. I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing when you do Nidoking and Bidoqueen and put me to shame! 😂😂
All seriousness though, keep up the good work! ^^
Hey! It makes me really happy to know that my videos are worth rewatching! Nidoking vs Nidoqueen is something I’m really looking forward to.
Hey Scott,
first time commenter here. I just wanna thank you for doing these!
You say most people watch your vids while doing something else. For me, however, it has gotten into some kind of tradition to watch you before sleep on the switch.
( I hope you dont take that in any way negative ). Not because they are boring, but as someone who often enough struggles to find sleep it just helps to have something chill ( and long enough ) to watch in the dark while hopefully getting tired doing it. And i still watch every second consciously!
I was introduced to this type of videos by Jrose, but over time i've grown to like your videos over his, because of your consistency and, dare i say, quirkiness.
I just wanted to get this in before i watch the video later, in the hope's you'll read it, cause in some vid you mentioned it is getting harder to do so.
Only half way thru video, but Scott you should utilize Tri attack more often and could of used thunder wave with Abra more often as well since you taught it to it. But that's just my friendly opinion! Love your videos bro! Keep up the good work
Tri attack has no secondary effect in gen 1 btw. Just 80 base power
STALL ABRA? Honestly it's the surprise factor that makes these videos
Can't wait to see Giga Chad Abra alpha his way through Crystal version.
I consider myself a patient man. But I appreciate you suffering through this so we dont have to.
Awesome job and show of mental strength! I really love the add of visual move/psychic effet, I think you should keep it and do a special/thematic one for the next playthroughs
I swear Scott! These thoughts are better than any strategy book bought!
UA-cam growth got MDB distraught
Pulling out tenacity, willpower fills a Vault
Won't stop till all the mon's are caught.
Okay I'll quit cringing
Love the gen2 play through and giving Abra the love it’s deserves 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much for the great evenings you provide for us, i know that a lot of work and time is used for a great video like this.
Abra's pretty much Schrödinger's Pokémon, how can be so bad (early on) yet have such potential for greatness?
The first gym was literally a "struggle" (Ba-dum-tss) but at least it gained tons of momentum onece it got Psychic... And I'm happy for Tangela, it has a friend now xD
Good job today, be sure to take a rest... you definitely earned it.
.P.S.: Koffing next week? Ooof... Another tough one for sure.
Finally, got through the comments! Yours was last. Thanks for being patient with me! It’s been a big month for the channel.
Psychic hitting the dark type venomoth. Seems sus 🤣 🤣 🤣
He finally did it the mad lad! I’m in the middle of an abra only FRLG run and JUST got past Brock… at level 23 I think it was. Really regret not getting those pokeballs from oak; never knew about that in 20+ years of Pokémon playing.
The Struggle was not in vain. With the Abra Submission to your challengedex, you earned a well deserved Rest from something so incredibly tough.
You know what perseverance really looks like when a guy puts in the time and effort to struggle Brock's mon to death with just an Abra
You deserve 10x more subs than you have, bro. You always go so above and beyond.
Thanks VanMan! You deserve so many more subs too!
Excellent effort! Your dedication and skill is amazing!
Scott: Venonat 1, Venonat 2, and Venonat 3
Me: Ah ah ah!
Sorry, been watching too much Jrose lately :).
Im liking the added graphics!!
Pretty cool art!
More coming ;)
Binging your episodes! Great content reminds me of jrose & pikasprey
Those two are truly great. I’m honoured that my content reminds you of them. Thanks
“Before there was too much PP, now there’s too little,”
*a testosterone supplement ad appears
Hey, wait right there bucko! I saw that "nice" at 23:01! Nice.
Awe poor Abra.. it's not just "in the tier not talked about but at the bottom of it?!"
I really love pokemon yellow. Played só much as a kid. And I was today years old when I learned you cam fight prof Oak
i honestly really like the idea that you used pk hex to get an incredibly cracked abra and i would honestly like to see you try to make the most incredibly op mon using nothing but moves it can learn legally at level 5, and then trying to get the best time with that
If during that rival battle which took 28 tries you let yourself faint to the eevee to get the xp from the sparrow youd have to use all your teleports again. Also, if you lose that rival battle you cant challenge him again, as winning, losing or ignoring that fight determines what the rival evolves his eevee into
Loved this one! Might be my favorite video of yours to date!
I loved how abra's aura kept getting bigger as the video went on
Ι love the pre gym animations! Great video, keep going!
Consider grabbing the hidden great ball outside of Mt. Moon right before Cerulean City.
I always wanted to make a Karate Kadabra with the elemental punches
Well, that pain is at least over. I know that Ditto is possible. (It's all about figuring out when to either Transform or Struggle against the opponent.) However, I don't believe Weedle is possible. I just don't see how, even if you use Struggle, you can realistically pull that off. Yeah, I really don't see it happening.
(Oh, and if anyone brings up that one guy who DID do it, just know, I think there's some shenanigans going on there. I'm sure he modified his Weedle.)
Thank you so much for the content scott!!! Can’t get enough! Keep it up my friend!!! 😁😁😁
I will
Scott.... this one was just brutal
Please go eat some cake
So Exeggcute is not a bunch of eggs? If it's seeds, it should be called Seedsowcute or something like that....
Love the various abra edits!
