Technically that can only occur when you get to Gen 2 and include Hitmontop, so we can only wait for that eventual run in like Gen 4, where they have the biggest benefit from the physicsl/special split.
Top kind of sucks and its nearly impossible to have BOTH Attack and Defense = to even get one. but even then Hitmontop is kind of pure crap it learns no GOOD lv up moves at all.
Hitmonchan. A Pokémon where everyone who played Pokémon Red/Blue as a kid thought that its gotta be an awesome Pokémon. And it learns Fire, Ice and Thunderpunch. It has to be good right? It even has high attack. And it punches! And thats when you understand that some moves use the Special Stat and not the Attack Stat.
Yeah he was really screwed over by that, the sad thing is if the physical special split was there in gen 1 he could have been a pretty decent pokemon with that level of type coverage... too bad by the time gen four rolled out, there were way better options

It's probably best to do it in HGSS, use the Randomizer to start with one of the Hitmons, and then breed it at the the Day-Care on Route 34 because there's Ditto on that Route, albeit unfortunately @ a 5% encounter rate. So long as you clear the Route before you breed, you can breed the Hitmon you start with and get it back without doing any fights without it. Any other method I can think of involves figuring out one of the Wild Pokémon Modifier Codes, which usually have you throwing away specific numbers of Poké Ball variants added by the code to set the level and national dex number of the encounters, codes that force all encounters to be one specific Pokémon until disabled, or, in the Sinnoh games, there are codes that use the calculator app on the Pokétch to determine level and 'mon encountered.
@@Cyniv0 Tyrogue, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan & Hitmontop have a 100% male ratio, so they can never be female, meaning they HAVE to be bred with a Ditto! Other male-locked species include the Gen 5 genies, the Impidimp line, Sawk and Throh, Braviary, Tauros, Volbeat & the Nidoking line!
Yeah, never remember the stupid Hitmon-gender lock. It's just by far the least obvious gender lock outside of maybe Hitmonchan. Hitmonlee and Hitmontop are more ambiguous.

I'll write down my BW2 with only hidden grotto pokemon! - use the randomizer to change one of the starters to one of these three: sap sipper marill, rattled dunsparce or scrappy lillipup (The starters are from the ranch's grotto which is the closest one, and they have their hidden abilities) - you can choose to catch one pokemon per grotto or have as many pokemon you'll find (you can choose)
Wishing you a speedy recovery, and look forward to your return. These videos have become a traditional part of my weekend routine 🙂. Take your time to recover and take care.
I think the simplest way to go about it is a Pokemon HeartGold run with Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop. You start the game with one of the Hitmons, any will do but I suggest Hitmontop that getting that to evolve from Tyrogue is the most difficult out of the 3. Then there's an NPC in Mt. Mortar that gifts you a Level 10 Tyrogue that you can evolve into another one of the Hitmons. After that, you can breed the 2 that you have for a third Tyrogue that you can evolve into the last Hitmon. Just be sure to use a bunch of Protiens and Irons to give the Tyrogues enough of a stat difference for them to evolve into Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan respectively.
The Hitmons are always male, so you need a Ditto to breed them. But Ditto is available pretty early in HGSS, before Goldenrod. On the same route as the Daycare. 🤔
Make sure you don't use a straw, and be very careful anytime you have to sneeze, blow or swallow, you don't want to get dry socket. Seriously, it'll feel silly, but you kinda wanna put whatever your soft food is in your mouth, tilt your head back, and let it go down as easy as possible with very small swallows. Dry socket is incredibly painful and an awful thing to deal with. In my experience, top row teeth have always been more of a pain when it comes to recovery (granted if there's no nerve to worry about, just in regular extractions) for me, I find the top row seems to bleed more than the bottom row. I had an issue after having a top tooth pulled, I woke up in the middle of the night with my mouth literally filled with blood, I started choking and coughing up so much blood it looked black. The solution? Stuff your mouth with gauze, like way too much gauze. I've had one extraction since then and I didn't risk it, I put a ridiculous amount of gauze in my mouth because top row bleeds, and I had no issues. The recovery is more annoying to deal with than painful, sticky blood-filled saliva that you can't comfortably swallow or spit out. You also learn how many times we actually swallow our own saliva in a day when recovering from an extraction. I'd say for me it's generally been about 3-4 days and I feel good again. Hope your recovery goes smooth, I've been watching these challenges for about 5 years now and always look forward to new ones.
You can get a Tyrogue early in Sword and Shield. On route 3, he's a 2% chance. You can start with one, and catch the other before the first gym. If you have issues starting with a Tyrogue, you can grab a regular starter and grab both on route 3. Reminder: Evolves at lv20 Chan if def>atk Lee if atk>def Top if equal You wont be able to do the whole run with chan and lee, but it will be most of it.
A little note for this run, Hitmonlee wouldn’t have 1 shot Charizard at the end anyway, since you leveled up beforehand, and that resets the badge boost glitch.
+6 attack Lvl 58 Hitmonchan Body Slam vs. Lvl 65 Charizard: 159-188 (67.3 - 79.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO. This is with max dvs as well. It will always 2 hit at level 58
For later gens, best i got is to breed the starting one with Ditto and try Tyrogue into other. Thinking about it, if you add HitmonTop as 3rd Hitmon Starting with him means 2 tyrouges but just using Vitians on them guarantees Chan or Lee depending on your need
I don't think he's done it in a while, but I still try to check the "I'm writing this before the run" thing he puts up bc there was a while where he might put something silly lol
If you do this run in another gen, make sure to include Hitmontop! I'd also thoroughly recommend making him the starter as he's far and away the most annoying evolution of the trio! For the sake of these runs in future, I think it would be reasonable to use PkHex or similar software to either spawn dittos for breeding tyrogue or just spawn the tyrogues/the other hitmons in your party at set points in the story or after x number of badges.
when i got my wisdom teeth got removed i was knocked out and it took me about 2 weeks before i could eat something other than pudding or apple sauce. it took about a month and a half for the pain to go away. I wish you much love and support on you teeth adventure. Tooth pain SUCKS.
I had something similar with my wisdom teeth. I had a checkup, they told me about it way before any pain. Fast forward about 3 months, and my left side hurt a lot. Got my teeth removed a few weeks later, and the right one ended up being painful during recovery due to how they removed it. It was honestly annoyingly weird. Make sure you have someone to take you home if they need to use general anesthesia too.
HeartGold or SoulSilver with the Hitmons can be done through breeding with Ditto. It'd be an interesting run if you start with a Tyrogue first because it will only have tackle until level 20.
Another unique and fun playthrough! I thought having two fighting types would be quite redundant and boring, but it was way more interesting than I expected. I especially liked the creative way you dealt with Ghost types, using Seismic Toss to do it! I have a suggestion for a playthrough: Pokemon Silver with mass outbreak Pokemon and their evolutions only (eg: Marill, Snubbull, Granbull, Remoraid, etc.). And for the sake of reducing the tedium of waiting to get lucky from a mass outbreak call, you're allowed to use cheats/codes to rig the routes to always have mass the mass outbreak Pokemon available, but only on the routes they'd normally be available on (eg: Snubbull on Route 38, Dunsparce on Dark Cave, etc.) And the starter will be allowed to be any mass outbreak base form Pokemon of your choosing. With how rare it is to get mass outbreak calls and with it being even rarer to see people use mass outbreak Pokemon in the second generation Pokemon games, I thought it would make for a really interesting (but reasonably challenging) playthrough, using so many Pokemon that are rarely used in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal playthroughs.
Personally I would use an encounter modifying cheat. Randomizer to swap a starter with Hitmon A, walk into grass, encounter cheat to change whatever into Hitmon B. You would just google Platinum encounter cheat, find the code, find the digits that reference the Hitmon, and put it into Cheats. On my system it's under Tools. Then you probably have to hold L or something while walking in the grass (It should say when you find the code), and when you get an encounter it'll be the pokemon you chose. So instead of a level 3 Starly it'll be a level 3 Hitmonchan. I can do the googling and testing for you if you want, but I figured you might want the experience yourself.
I'm also in my 30s and just had a bottom wisdom tooth removed this year. The pain wasn't too bad (they did need to give me 3 extra shots as they got deeper... The tooth came out in pieces). Recovery wasn't too bad either. 1 day of pain killers, a few days of soft foods, etc. The sounds of scraping bone will forever haunt me though...
21:32 I know of a way in Gen 4. Use UPR to start with one of the Hitmons, then put it in the Day Care with a Ditto. You just need to take enough steps to trigger the RNG roll for an egg to form. Alternatively, in HGSS, Karate King Kyo is still in the basement of Mt. Mortar, and he still gives you a Tyrogue as a reward for defeating him. All you have to do is use UPR to start with one of the Hitmons, beat Clair to unlock Waterfall, backtrack and beat Kyo, then take the new Tyrogue and get it to Level 20.
If you did a HGSS run, you could start with one hitmon (or tyrogue). When you reach Goldenrod, you would be able to hunt for a ditto and breed to get Tyrogue. Then, with either a good nature or buy protein/irons to get the other one. You could even add in Hitmontop for a trio run. This would give you the physical/special split and being able to do a vast majority of the run with all the pokemon. You could use this same strategy for most games, although you would need to account for ditto/daycare locations.
I loved this run! If you choose to do this game in Gen 4, HeartGold/SoulSilver would be a good choice because not only can you start out with one of the Hitmons through the randomizer, you can get a free Tyrogue in Mt. Mortar and evolve it, like in Gold/Silver.
In Heart Gold, you can get a Tyrogue from the Karate King in Mt Mortar, then use vitamins from the Goldenrod department store to ensure it evolves into the one you didn't start with.
I love the idea of doing some of these Red and Blue challenge runs in FireRed and LeafGreen (for example) mostly due to the AI in Generation 1 spamming moves since the AI believes the moves are super-effective against your Pokemon, such as Agility. 😅 I love the videos, too; keep ‘em comin’!
If you want to use the Hitmons in a different gen, I think the easiest way would be to create your save file in the game, save and edit it with PKHex You could easily generate the pokemon, randomize their IVs and Nature, and just use that save file and play the game
as others have said, doing this run again in HG/SS would be perfect. I know a LOT of us would tune in for that run, MDB!! OH! That makes me think of a #MDBAMA Have you ever done a team run that's required pokemon breeding before? I've watched tons of your videos, but can't recall that ever being a thing!
A simple way to get both of them in a gen 4 game specifically Heart Gold or Silver Soul would be to use the randomizer to get one of them and catch a ditto and use the day care to breed them to get a Tyrogue and evolve that.
To answer your question about doing a run in gen 4 and onward. I don't know if it is catchable before the pst game in gen 4 or 5, but Tyrogue evolves into hitmonlee, hitmonchan, and hitmontop for a 3-way branched evolution. I do know that the gen 3 remakes on the 3ds have Tyrogue as a catchable pokemon about a wuarter through thee game.
I think the easiest way to get both is using the same randomizer you use. The same way you change the starter you can change the rout 1 encounter for example and just put the other one there or any gift pokemon (might impact early grind but nothing else)
Easy way to get both hitmons in any gen: Use the randomizer to get one as a starter, and then you need the program PKHex. You load your save into that, and from there you can edit pokemon, your bag, everything really, but most importantly you can also CREATE a pokemon, its all quite simple once you open the save so don't worry about that part
I think you should've given a bunch of Calcium to Hitmonchan as soon as you got it. It's not nearly as awful as people think in gen 1, but it needs a helping hand to get there. Not that it is ever great, but it can be more than dead weight.
I’ve had the bottom wisdom teeth taken out in my early 20s. They were taken out on separate days due to how impacted they both were. They were lying sideways in my jaw with the “top” of each tooth hitting the roots of the tooth in front. I have a third one (upper right) that’s small and not fully formed and not causing problems and probably won’t cause problems. No upper left. When I had the two wisdom teeth taken out, I experienced some nasty infections afterwards (necrotizing fasciitis) and had to have further surgical intervention. I’ve also dealt with some serious swelling that caused temporary lock jaw for 3 days each.
Assist Challenge in Emerald!!! Only use assist during the run. Build a team with move sets to work around assist. That would be a tough challenge to try
INDEEEEEEEED! I love this naming theme. This run will give us the Kaientai vs Two Man Power Trip match we were robbed of! Next challenge sounds awesome, can't wait!
I believe in the randomizer you can manually change pokemon that are available in some places, so you may just be able to make them both catachable on the first route.
I was fully convince you will loose at the Agatha Fight but it seems even if they was bad status effect has become handy at the end. 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: 10
I took a look and it looks like you could do a gen 4 diamond/Pearl run. Tyrouge is found on route 208 with the poke radar. You could even throw in hitmontop
You should really talk to Scott’s Thoughts and the rest of the solo running community, they could definitely help you with the tech issues. Even if you don’t consider yourself a poketuber, the solo running guys really look up to you and Jrose. The live stats and move pool overlay would probably be really helpful for someone with aphantasia as well.
My wisdom teeth got removed pretty late when I was 30. Only 3 grew in, but the top 2 were so rotted that pieces kept breaking off. There was still no pain but eventually my wife told me my breath was terrible and we knew it was because of the wisdom teeth, so I got all 4 removed at once. It really wasn't too bad, I ended up eating solid food one day 2 and going back to work on day 3, guess I got lucky there.
if you thought using hitmonchan here was painful, you should try a pokemon gold run with only sneasel. it's dark/ice, two types that dealt special damage prior to the split, and it has the same 35 base special attack as the hitmons. have fun :333
6 attack boosts plus the badge boost glitch and you've got a very dead champ final battle lol (can't control the glitch and hitmonlee needed the attack increase from meditate so i don't see it as breaking the no glitches rule) :D
Basically this challenge was: -Hitmonlee: Mom i was selected to do a pokemon red challenge!. -Mom: Okay but take your little brother hitmonchan with you. -Hitmonlee: But mooooom.
The program pkhex can easily edit any ROM file to have whatever Pokemon you want in either your party and/or box, you could quite easily spawn them in right when you start the game before any battles
Hitmonchan is my favorite Pokémon every few months I see if there’s a run somebody does with him. It’s not a solo run but I’m glad somebody used him recently even those he’s terrible. Praying he gets a mega and hits like a truck in the next game 🙏
In Gen 4 you can just google up some cheats to use in emulator so that you can just straight up replace encounters with a specific Pokemon. The one I know for Gen 4 does mess with the item bag a bit. HGSS you could use Universal Pokemon Randomizer to replace the starter with one, then do the Tyrogue sidequest and evolve the other at Level 20. It does take most of Johto to get one though.
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.
There might be an option in the randomizer to alter the in-game trades. If possible, you could then just start with one of them, then get the other at the earliest trade in that game. I haven't actually looked at the randomizer settings in a good while though so I'm not positive
Well, on the bright side I already have the title card made for if I ever do this run in Fire Red!
Now, THAT'S thinking ahead.
i think thats a good idea i vote for that as next run
edit tho if you can get them both in gen 5 i think thats better with the punches using the better stat lol
lol now that’s positive thinking! I am interested to see how they perform together in a game where there sp is split and can actually take sp hits better and definitely different with all the intimidate pokemon fights u will be doing so yeah I’d say it be a interesting run for down the road
I was REALLY hoping you named Hitmonlee (BruceLee) and Hitmonchan (JackieChan)

I like the punch and kick bros. but I’ve never used them. It’s nice to see them in the spotlight.
A little note for this run, Hitmonlee wouldn’t have 1 shot Charizard at the end anyway, since you leveled up beforehand, and that resets the badge boost glitch.
No he still would have, badge boosts would have been removed, but meditate was at +6 attack which didn’t reset.
+6 attack Lvl 58 Hitmonchan Body Slam vs. Lvl 65 Charizard: 159-188 (67.3 - 79.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO. This is with max dvs as well. It will always 2 hit at level 58
For later gens, best i got is to breed the starting one with Ditto and try Tyrogue into other. Thinking about it, if you add HitmonTop as 3rd Hitmon Starting with him means 2 tyrouges but just using Vitians on them guarantees Chan or Lee depending on your need
I completely forgot/had no idea semic toss hit ghost types. Gen 1 finds new ways to surprise me every day.
I too would enjoy seeing these two again especially after the physical special split. Maybe Heart Gold or Soul Silver and throw in Hitmontop as well?
I don't think he's done it in a while, but I still try to check the "I'm writing this before the run" thing he puts up bc there was a while where he might put something silly lol
This could be a good series in and of itself. See how they get better/worse in each generation. 100/10 content
This was quite the run - I guess Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan really pack some punch! (and kick)
If you do this run in another gen, make sure to include Hitmontop!
I'd also thoroughly recommend making him the starter as he's far and away the most annoying evolution of the trio!
For the sake of these runs in future, I think it would be reasonable to use PkHex or similar software to either spawn dittos for breeding tyrogue or just spawn the tyrogues/the other hitmons in your party at set points in the story or after x number of badges.
when i got my wisdom teeth got removed i was knocked out and it took me about 2 weeks before i could eat something other than pudding or apple sauce. it took about a month and a half for the pain to go away. I wish you much love and support on you teeth adventure. Tooth pain SUCKS.

Editor police: Says FireRed instead of Red
I had something similar with my wisdom teeth. I had a checkup, they told me about it way before any pain. Fast forward about 3 months, and my left side hurt a lot. Got my teeth removed a few weeks later, and the right one ended up being painful during recovery due to how they removed it. It was honestly annoyingly weird. Make sure you have someone to take you home if they need to use general anesthesia too.
HeartGold or SoulSilver with the Hitmons can be done through breeding with Ditto. It'd be an interesting run if you start with a Tyrogue first because it will only have tackle until level 20.
Another unique and fun playthrough! I thought having two fighting types would be quite redundant and boring, but it was way more interesting than I expected. I especially liked the creative way you dealt with Ghost types, using Seismic Toss to do it!
I have a suggestion for a playthrough: Pokemon Silver with mass outbreak Pokemon and their evolutions only (eg: Marill, Snubbull, Granbull, Remoraid, etc.). And for the sake of reducing the tedium of waiting to get lucky from a mass outbreak call, you're allowed to use cheats/codes to rig the routes to always have mass the mass outbreak Pokemon available, but only on the routes they'd normally be available on (eg: Snubbull on Route 38, Dunsparce on Dark Cave, etc.) And the starter will be allowed to be any mass outbreak base form Pokemon of your choosing. With how rare it is to get mass outbreak calls and with it being even rarer to see people use mass outbreak Pokemon in the second generation Pokemon games, I thought it would make for a really interesting (but reasonably challenging) playthrough, using so many Pokemon that are rarely used in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal playthroughs.
Personally I would use an encounter modifying cheat. Randomizer to swap a starter with Hitmon A, walk into grass, encounter cheat to change whatever into Hitmon B. You would just google Platinum encounter cheat, find the code, find the digits that reference the Hitmon, and put it into Cheats. On my system it's under Tools. Then you probably have to hold L or something while walking in the grass (It should say when you find the code), and when you get an encounter it'll be the pokemon you chose. So instead of a level 3 Starly it'll be a level 3 Hitmonchan. I can do the googling and testing for you if you want, but I figured you might want the experience yourself.
Where's Yamaguchi-san when you need him?
That could be hitmontop if mdb was using one of the later Gen games. Hhmmmm, chan, Lee n top in a later Gen game 🤔🤔🤔
Super easy challenge: pokemon x or Y water type only. With your patience within a day. Fun,easy, and new content.
I'm also in my 30s and just had a bottom wisdom tooth removed this year. The pain wasn't too bad (they did need to give me 3 extra shots as they got deeper... The tooth came out in pieces). Recovery wasn't too bad either. 1 day of pain killers, a few days of soft foods, etc. The sounds of scraping bone will forever haunt me though...
21:32 I know of a way in Gen 4. Use UPR to start with one of the Hitmons, then put it in the Day Care with a Ditto. You just need to take enough steps to trigger the RNG roll for an egg to form.
Alternatively, in HGSS, Karate King Kyo is still in the basement of Mt. Mortar, and he still gives you a Tyrogue as a reward for defeating him. All you have to do is use UPR to start with one of the Hitmons, beat Clair to unlock Waterfall, backtrack and beat Kyo, then take the new Tyrogue and get it to Level 20.
If you did a HGSS run, you could start with one hitmon (or tyrogue). When you reach Goldenrod, you would be able to hunt for a ditto and breed to get Tyrogue. Then, with either a good nature or buy protein/irons to get the other one. You could even add in Hitmontop for a trio run. This would give you the physical/special split and being able to do a vast majority of the run with all the pokemon. You could use this same strategy for most games, although you would need to account for ditto/daycare locations.
Quick Note: Agatha's second Gengar doesn't have Hypnosis. Dreameater isn't a threat on the higher level one.
Perfect video to watch while my nails dry. I'm guessing hitmonlee sweeps, definitely doing more than chan.
I loved this run! If you choose to do this game in Gen 4, HeartGold/SoulSilver would be a good choice because not only can you start out with one of the Hitmons through the randomizer, you can get a free Tyrogue in Mt. Mortar and evolve it, like in Gold/Silver.
Tyrogue in Gold and Silver could manage it? Maybe even breed a second one, so it's a Hitmonlee, Chan and Top run?
In Heart Gold, you can get a Tyrogue from the Karate King in Mt Mortar, then use vitamins from the Goldenrod department store to ensure it evolves into the one you didn't start with.
I love the idea of doing some of these Red and Blue challenge runs in FireRed and LeafGreen (for example) mostly due to the AI in Generation 1 spamming moves since the AI believes the moves are super-effective against your Pokemon, such as Agility. 😅
I love the videos, too; keep ‘em comin’!
If you want to use the Hitmons in a different gen, I think the easiest way would be to create your save file in the game, save and edit it with PKHex
You could easily generate the pokemon, randomize their IVs and Nature, and just use that save file and play the game
as others have said, doing this run again in HG/SS would be perfect. I know a LOT of us would tune in for that run, MDB!!
OH! That makes me think of a
#MDBAMA
Have you ever done a team run that's required pokemon breeding before? I've watched tons of your videos, but can't recall that ever being a thing!
I wouldn't recommend switching out of wrap while asleep. Staying in is a good way to burn sleep turns
After almost 25 years I just learned about the location of a hidden Elixer I was not aware of. WTF? I'm baffled. Thanks!
Thanks for the video MDB, really needed some MDB today
A simple way to get both of them in a gen 4 game specifically Heart Gold or Silver Soul would be to use the randomizer to get one of them and catch a ditto and use the day care to breed them to get a Tyrogue and evolve that.
I guess in later games, etc, you could use action replay/codebreaker codes to make Hitmonchan/lee appear in the first patch of grass
To answer your question about doing a run in gen 4 and onward. I don't know if it is catchable before the pst game in gen 4 or 5, but Tyrogue evolves into hitmonlee, hitmonchan, and hitmontop for a 3-way branched evolution. I do know that the gen 3 remakes on the 3ds have Tyrogue as a catchable pokemon about a wuarter through thee game.
in gen 2 you can get a Tyrouge and evolve it into hitmonchan or hitmonlee or hitmontop
Here's a fun challenge idea, can you beat pokemon emerald with one numel? So. Much. Water. Good luck
Deeply upset you didnt go with Jey and Jimmy for the names, but great run regardless!
I think the easiest way to get both is using the same randomizer you use. The same way you change the starter you can change the rout 1 encounter for example and just put the other one there or any gift pokemon (might impact early grind but nothing else)
Man, martial arts are awesome. And so are pokémon that use them!
Speaking of, you should take the karate rabbit, Lopunny, on a sweep through Platinum!
Easy way to get both hitmons in any gen: Use the randomizer to get one as a starter, and then you need the program PKHex. You load your save into that, and from there you can edit pokemon, your bag, everything really, but most importantly you can also CREATE a pokemon, its all quite simple once you open the save so don't worry about that part
I think you should've given a bunch of Calcium to Hitmonchan as soon as you got it. It's not nearly as awful as people think in gen 1, but it needs a helping hand to get there. Not that it is ever great, but it can be more than dead weight.
First time Agatha!
Keep going brother, all of the audience pry for you
hitmonlee must have felt tired knowing it had to carry hitmonchan throughout the entire run
Between this and Porygon, I'm learning that any fully evolved Pokemon can ravage gen 1
Would love more duo runs! Makes for interesting dynamics
I’ve had the bottom wisdom teeth taken out in my early 20s. They were taken out on separate days due to how impacted they both were. They were lying sideways in my jaw with the “top” of each tooth hitting the roots of the tooth in front.
I have a third one (upper right) that’s small and not fully formed and not causing problems and probably won’t cause problems. No upper left.
When I had the two wisdom teeth taken out, I experienced some nasty infections afterwards (necrotizing fasciitis) and had to have further surgical intervention. I’ve also dealt with some serious swelling that caused temporary lock jaw for 3 days each.
Hitmonlee: "We are evil!'
Hitmonchan: "Indeed."
Lol
This one should be pinned.😂😂😂
@@wicked39 Thanks
I remember as a kid brute forcing my way through Pokemon Blue with just a Hitmonlee. He was always my favorite pokemon.
Young me never had any clue Hitmonch was so weak. I just saw type coverage and was like, this Pokemon is perfect for Pokemon Stadium!
Assist Challenge in Emerald!!! Only use assist during the run. Build a team with move sets to work around assist. That would be a tough challenge to try
For HeartGold just breed your Hitmonchan with a Ditto to get a Tyrogue then evolve that into a Hitmonlee by giving it some Protein before level 20
INDEEEEEEEED!
I love this naming theme. This run will give us the Kaientai vs Two Man Power Trip match we were robbed of!
Next challenge sounds awesome, can't wait!
I believe in the randomizer you can manually change pokemon that are available in some places, so you may just be able to make them both catachable on the first route.
Been a while since I've watched... Makes me immensely happy that the fossil joke is still going
That last attack against charizard also lost badge boost because level up so that was weaker
I was fully convince you will loose at the Agatha Fight but it seems even if they was bad status effect has become handy at the end.
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: 10
I took a look and it looks like you could do a gen 4 diamond/Pearl run. Tyrouge is found on route 208 with the poke radar. You could even throw in hitmontop
You should really talk to Scott’s Thoughts and the rest of the solo running community, they could definitely help you with the tech issues. Even if you don’t consider yourself a poketuber, the solo running guys really look up to you and Jrose. The live stats and move pool overlay would probably be really helpful for someone with aphantasia as well.
My wisdom teeth got removed pretty late when I was 30. Only 3 grew in, but the top 2 were so rotted that pieces kept breaking off. There was still no pain but eventually my wife told me my breath was terrible and we knew it was because of the wisdom teeth, so I got all 4 removed at once. It really wasn't too bad, I ended up eating solid food one day 2 and going back to work on day 3, guess I got lucky there.
if you thought using hitmonchan here was painful, you should try a pokemon gold run with only sneasel. it's dark/ice, two types that dealt special damage prior to the split, and it has the same 35 base special attack as the hitmons. have fun :333
6 attack boosts plus the badge boost glitch and you've got a very dead champ final battle lol (can't control the glitch and hitmonlee needed the attack increase from meditate so i don't see it as breaking the no glitches rule) :D
Basically this challenge was:
-Hitmonlee: Mom i was selected to do a pokemon red challenge!.
-Mom: Okay but take your little brother hitmonchan with you.
-Hitmonlee: But mooooom.
The elite 4 luck was pretty crazy
They did better than expected.
This is maybe the one in the few runs where you didn't go above lv 60 maybe this is the first one ever bet even so I love all your videos
Ah, the Helix fossil, an excellent choice.
I had been wondering
The program pkhex can easily edit any ROM file to have whatever Pokemon you want in either your party and/or box, you could quite easily spawn them in right when you start the game before any battles
As a long time watcher of JRose's, I decided to check you out and my god you got good stuff 🤙
Also, your voice is really pleasant.
Oh yes taka mikonomu and funaki.
Someone watched the wwf.
I got all 4 of mine removed plus one next to them as it was impacted. Recovery was actually pretty easy. I just caught up on reading for a week
Hitmonchan is my favorite Pokémon every few months I see if there’s a run somebody does with him. It’s not a solo run but I’m glad somebody used him recently even those he’s terrible. Praying he gets a mega and hits like a truck in the next game 🙏
In Gen 4 you can just google up some cheats to use in emulator so that you can just straight up replace encounters with a specific Pokemon. The one I know for Gen 4 does mess with the item bag a bit. HGSS you could use Universal Pokemon Randomizer to replace the starter with one, then do the Tyrogue sidequest and evolve the other at Level 20. It does take most of Johto to get one though.
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.
Nice to see he took the helix fossil.
There might be an option in the randomizer to alter the in-game trades. If possible, you could then just start with one of them, then get the other at the earliest trade in that game. I haven't actually looked at the randomizer settings in a good while though so I'm not positive
going into this before having watched: I'm predicting Lee is going to carry the entire run and chan will sort of just be there most of the time
You could also add hitmontop to the team in later gens ❤
