Did you know that 2,229 people watched this 3 days early? Whenever I get these videos done early, I let people watch it early through a link on my Twitter!: twitter.com/MahDryBread
Listening to that "Hey everyone, Mah-Dry-Bread here!" was such a feeling of relief and happiness for me and I'm sure everyone else too. I'm so glad you're well enough to record again and I wish you the best always.
I'm really glad you're well enough to do another video again, I hope your health continues to improve. Chansey was a brutal pokémon to do a run with especially for a comeback while recovering lol
@@nomoredlc593 God that'd probably be enough 4 him 2 quit challenges I know when I did it just to see if I could I caped the time on my cart I don't film challenge but I still do them
Watched your content for years, you've been a great source of entertainment for hours on end. I hope you and your doctors can figure out what's going on soon, and that you'll be back to 100% in no time. In the meantime, happy holidays ❤️
Hey Mah-Dry-Bread, I am thankful to see you able to get back to work! Not just because we love to hear your voice and see your videos, but because we know how hard it is to feel useless and not be able to do what you love. Take your time getting better, try not to feel like you have to push yourself, we care most about you being healthy! Good to see you back!
Yes, I did the math for the Haunter fight. The chance for the Haunter to hit all four of its hypnoses and all three of its confuse rays against maximum evasion is 0.00552% chance. That is a 1/18116 chance *I think*. The numbers are crazy for something like this (assuming I did the math right)! Also, welcome back! I missed you so much! Seeing your videos always make my day, so I thank you! Edit: I forgot to mention how much I love the Khimyra ads. Something about MDB's voice makes it an extra experience that I don't want to miss out on, and besides, Khimyra is awesome for how they work with MDB.
I don’t know if you’ll see this comment Mah-Dry, but it’s truly nice to see you back and to hear you’re healing up. Hope you continue to heal up quickly bud
So good to have you back, even a 20% MDB is better than no MDB. pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say it is awesome to hear your voice again. Hope nothing but the best for you and your family, as you continue to get better.
MDB, i wanted to say that I've been around for a good while now. I was there when Rattata brought me here and have loved much of your stuff since and prior. You make a lot of my days. I'm glad to see that the struggles of the last few months are no longer keeping you from what you keep saying is what you love doing. I love the content and i really hope your nerve issue resolves soon. Welcome back MDFingB
Honestly it's good to hear your voice and you don't sound any sort of defeat or depression or anything. It sounds like you never missed a beat and that's gotta feel great for you too
It's crazy that the rival at one point has three different pokémon that knows aerial Ace. I'm so glad you're back and playing and don't worry about what kind of runs you're able record. Will be here to watch anything you put out.
This probably very overwhelming to see the love and support you get man even before your video goes live! We appreciate you bud and glad you are doing better!
Honestly, even if you aren't 100% better, it's still a sigh of relief to be able to see you work again with how much you provide for your family. Keep going champ, your fans are always right behind you! That, and I've totally missed these challenge videos, haha.
It's so awesome to hear that you're doing well enough to do things like this challenge! I know that the health problems aren't quite solved but if you feel better than that is a massive step forward. On another note, I was really worried that this challenge would be as difficult as your Abra run or, heaven forbid, your munchlax run. Glad to see it wasn't quite that bad!.
I doubt you'll see this, but I am so glad to see you're well enough to be back! I'm sure I wasn't alone in worrying for you, and I'm certain all of us echo a very happy "Welcome back!"
It's great to see you back! For future reference for Platinum runs, the Thunderbolt TM is on an island behind the Valley Windworks, and Flamethrower is in the Fuego Ironworks, which is two less things to have to gamble for!
And the Marvelous Mr. Medraut returns to us from his brush with death, fittingly doing so with a Pokémon known for its role in healing the sick and injured. Great to see you getting back into the swing of things, MDB. Here's to a happier, healthier future for you and yours, and I can't wait to see what else is in store here on the channel!
Glad you're feeling better and making content again. I wish I could have been there in person for this though because I would have reminded you there is one overworld spawn for both Thunderbolt and Flamethrower as soon as you get surf, so you actually didn't need the game corner for those
I’m incredibly happy to see you back, man. Glad you were able to both get some of the help you needed and were able to still make enough to keep your family afloat.
It's great to see you're back (even if it is in a limited capacity). We just hope you keep getting better. Also you sound great in your voiceover. I know it takes you a lot longer to get it done, but you honestly don't sound any different than before all of those health problems started. Just keep getting better and know that we are all in your corner!
I just started watching your videos last week or so. It's really wholesome to hear your community stepped up to help support you and your family while you're going through this. I hope you recover quickly. Best wishes.
hey Mah-Dry-Bread! I still remember that first community post you made after you collapsed. The whole "don't panic" first line. I've been listening to your Pokemon Challenges playlist every night for a while now, starting at the mono-bug challenge in Black version. It helps me sleep, and I want to thank you for that. I'm so glad you're doing better. When I saw you were going to upload a challenge again, I was so happy. Not for the challenge, but because it means you're on the up and up. I hope things continue to improve for you, watching your content always makes me smile, and I'm so thankful that I discovered you. I think the first video of yours I watched was your first Platinum challenge with Pikachu only. I continue to wish you the best, and thank you for all that you do.
Your content has been a really good source of comfort for me. I love your challenge runs, especially the Pokemon ones. I hope you get well soon and the doctors can figure out what's wrong! Hearing your voice again was so great!
It's a relief that you're feeling a bit better. All the best to both you and your family. Thank you for the update, and please don't push yourself too hard.
So glad you're feeling good enough to start these runs again! You are my comfort youtuber and I love everything you bring out, but health comes first! So sending my well wishes to you and the whole family
You will NEVER be taking up too much of my time. I'm so EXTREMELY happy to see you back. I know its not 100% better but i'm happy you are starting to feeling better. I'm also VERY excited to see my beautiful baby girl (Chansey) go through Platinum (Writing before i finish the video). Thank you so much for all you do for us and keep getting better!!!
Hey MDB! Not sure if you'll see this or if you even know this in the first place but you can the TMs for Thunderbolt and Flamethrower immediately after getting Surf. Just go behind the Valley Windworks to get Thunderbolt and go to Fuego Ironworks for Flamethrower. You can even get Ice Beam later on after getting Rock Climb as well. It would probably save you a ton of time and money so I just thought you should know
It makes me happy to hear this story that something like this happened and you are recovering. I have EDS and when I heard your situation before you said you have eds this all sounded very familiar as something that is a real risk for me and my family. I am happy to see you are healing and that you are living your best life with how bad eds can be even its most mild forms.
So glad to see you’re okay enough to do challenges again, your humour and perseverance have gotten me through a lot of the harder parts of my schooling. Don’t push yourself, stay healthy.
Hey man, it sounds like you have been through quite a lot recently. I myself have been dealing with inflamed chronic health issues the past decade so I feel that I can sympathize with your plight. Your attitude and work ethic during these trying times is admirable and inspiring. I've always enjoyed your content which itself has helped me stay sane during my own hospital stays. Thank you for all the wonderful content over the years and I hope your health continues to improve going forward!
I'm so glad to hear that you're recovering, and that you managed to get the funding you need!!! I'm sad I don't have the financial ability to support you!
So glad your starting to get better mdb, just don’t push yourself too hard we want you to stay healthy so you can continue making amazing content as long as you want
You know you're gonna have a nice day whenever you hear that intro. So glad you're feeling better MDB. I hope you make a complete recovery soon, and I hope that chair will make you feel better too!
I adore that both you and your doctor support the at-home exercises and routines for symptom relief. It's something more people should hear about, that it doesn't take a chiropractor or physical therapist to help you feel better when you're in a funky situation. More than happy to see you getting back into the groove, and glad you didn't promise another episode. You pace yourself as much as you need to, and we'll all be here, ready to watch another great video and give you all the love we have to share. ^w^
I don't understand why you would say that only the doctor would be supportive of at-home exercise? A physical therapist is there to help you make a proper at-home exercise regiment for symptom relief, that's a huge part of their job. In fact that is pretty much what you go to them for. They assess you, teach you exercises and proper technique, tell you to do it every day that you feel you can, then come back and do it all again. As you get better they give you different exercises to add and up the numbers of reps you do or the weight you use. They are a great option for people who get injuries they have no idea how to fix at home or for people like me who were so weak and in pain that I couldn't do the exercises that 'normal' people could do. Trying to do regular exercises was hurting me worse in many ways. I wouldn't go around discrediting them when they are just there to help. Also my chiropractor fixed my neck and lower back in like 5 weeks with only 1 session a week and I haven't been back for 5 months. He was super happy to help and encouraged me to keep following the at home regiment the PT suggested so that I wouldn't have to see him again unless I injured myself.
@@shadowfoxgirl Physical Therapists are also sometimes doctors, and I'm saying that talking to your main doctor into seeing a physical therapist doctor who might suggest at home exercises is a good thing. Thank you for your viewpoint though. :3 More knowledge for all!
I'm going through some chronic health issues of my own and dealing with a flare up right now, but just wanted to say I love and appreciate your content and outlook. Your videos coming back has been a beacon I really needed today so I'm glad to see you doing better and hope to hear you continuing to get better by the day!
Glad to see you back at it my guy, heres hoping you'll make an even speedier recovery from what happened. I really do hope you get better not just for your videos us viewers can watch but also for your family especially the Missus as well as your friends like Brandon and Whattageek. Take care of yourself first my guy and don't try working yourself to death.
I am so happy that you are happier and things are going better. I followed you throughout this whole ordeal. Stoked for you! Love your content! You're a motivation.
I actually just found your channel while you were away and have been going through the Pokémon challenges backlog over the past couple weeks. I didn’t even realize anything was wrong until I clicked on this video! Regardless, I’m so glad to hear you are doing better and I hope your medical team are able to help you live a happy, healthy life. Best of luck, and thanks for the fantastic content.
Glad to see you! Welcome back! 😊 Im glad you are doing better, hope answers are given soon! I'm very glad you could still take care of your family. Do videos if and when you can, I'm sure me and many others are still here. No matter what. Sharing your videos, and me and my sons love you!
didnt know you went through so much over the last few months i also suffer from a pinched nerve in my back that gets as bad to make my tailbone numb but not sitting at exercise helps a lot we have your back all the way lets hope 2023 gets better for all
Something I do when I'm running out of power points in a difficult fight I give them a leppa berry to restore the power points just a little too for future runs my good man and welcome back I'm glad you are doing better but make sure to keep taking it easy
THE RETURN OF THE KING! So glad to see you back on UA-cam for more than pure medical updates. Hopefully everything starts getting sorted out properly. WE MISSED YOU MDB
Great to have you back! I think that Growl would have unironically helped A TON in the early game. The thing is, with 4 move slot syndrome, there wasn't much you could have given up, so I get your choice.
It’s so nice to hear your beautiful voice again! I love your content and I think it could be fun to make a recommendation so I hope you don’t mind! A Blissey only could be fun to see in gen 4 cause it’s Chansey with *MORE HP* which would be so weird! Or gen 3 with only Absol, An Easy one but still fun seemingly with a glass canon with a good Moveset, but that may be too easy, either way I’m so glad you’re feeling better and take care!
As a fellow EDS haver, I'm sending you the best of wishes. Totally sucks that our bodies just sometimes decide to fuck up severely. Glad to see you're able to work and exercise again, and I hope you continue your smooth recovery!
I’m so happy to hear you’re feeling well enough to start producing some videos again. I hope you’re staying safe and as healthy as you possibly can be. On an unrelated note, this challenge run was super fun to watch! :D
It might just be me, but in a situation of Pokemon that have the other option be "Egregiously overlevel", a naturally learned evasion move is fair game. However if it was a TM move or you had clear other options it'd be less ideal to watch. Also even more so, until you're fully recovered, don't worry about using strategies to make it easier on you. It'd open up for revised run videos.
If it's just grinding to get over a hurdle like that ghost gym, I strongly advocate for rare candies. Saves a TON of time. Same with the casino you mentioned. Sell the rare candies and buy coins to get what you need. Again, saves a TON of time.
Been watching your account t for a couple years on different accounts but I can’t really afford to pay so thank you. To celebrate I’ll play along with the do I think you can win! It’s an hour long so I have hope but I just know the grind is going to be BRUTAL Edit 1: the cherubi leech seeding for all of its health is halrious
Oh man just opened UA-cam and couldn't believe for some minutes even skipped your video as i thought it's an old video but so happy to see at least you are doing much much better and it was really amazing to see you back hope that you are able to continue back and just take your time
This really brought tears to my eyes. I won't pretend I am a huge fan of yours, but there were times watching your videos, especially those colosseum lets plays kept me from completely falling into depression. Nowadays I watch your vids sparingly and I wasn't aware of the situation till now. I hope you only get healthier and healthier
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. A suggestion for your Autofire problem with the emulator. I suppose you already heard or read this in the comment section, but in the case I'm the first one: I solved the problem by using a controller that already has the Autofire button mode in its functions. Mine is a cheap and not very famous brand but is very well functioning, wireless and definitely a reliable tool. If nothing else seems to solve the problem with the emulator, this is the best other possible solution.
Mad respect for you bro it takes a lot to admit you needed help financially. Family over pride that’s what being the provider is all about Ive been in a similar situation as you truly inspirational
Glad to have you back! I will say there's a few TMs laying around that would have helped you quite a bit though, Thunderbolt and Flamethrower are available as soon as you get surf at the windworks and Fuego ironworks respectively, you can also drop Ice Beam any time you do a Candice fight as there's a stray TM on top of the rock climb wall as soon as you exit Mt Coronet into the snow area that you can get as soon as you beat her. Hope that helps with any future platinum runs!
So glad to see you're back even if just partially. Please take care of yourself and I hope you get answers to what's going on soon and they can help you recover 💜
I was so happy to see you back MDB! Sorry to hear that you've been going through so much, and I'm happy to help out any way I can. Honestly, your content has helped me a lot through some mental health issues. Hoping for a smooth recovery for you.
Something that might work as a stop gap for mashing is rebinding to the triggers/bumpers if your controller has them, let you use 3 different fingers for mashing. (I feel you with that, I'm always conscious of carpel tunnel myself)
You know that scene from the Sonic 2 Movie where Agent Stone gets the message from Eggman and yells "He's baaaaaaaack!" That was me when I saw this video pop up. Here's to a speedy recovery and hopefully a faster Canadian health system Mr. Bread.
It's great to hear from you again MDB! Wishing you well on your road to recovery, looking forward to seeing your videos again, at whatever pace you are comfortable putting them out at. Good luck, have fun, and take care of yourself!
Man, it has been a while BUT IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK! To help support during your time away I watched every Pokemon Challenge you have done THREE TIMES OVER!! Well not watched, but listened while I am washing an infinite number of dishes at work. I even referred back to this videos for some tricks while doing some playthroughs of my own. It is amazing that you still have Chimera supporting you and actually checking on you! That is incredible! Try fi ding that level of service any place else and you would not get it! Super looking forward to more videos, no matter how long it takes! WE LOVE YOU!
Math time! In Platinum, Hypnosis had a 60% chance of hitting (unlike a lot of other Gen 4 where it was 70%). In Gen 4, maxed out evasion means moves have a 33% chance of hitting (if it normally had 100% accuracy before). Combine the two to get this: 60% * 33% = 20% chance of hitting hypnosis on a Pokemon with max evasion. Doing this 4 times in a row is as simple as raising that to the power of 4, for these 4 independent events happening in a row. 20% ^ 4 = 0.16% chance, or a 1 in 625 chance of this happening.
Hey Dry Bread, I remember first watching your series on Resident Evil 5 (wow, what a terrible game) with your buddy Brandon, and I gotta say, you are a diamond in the rough when it comes to content. I don't have any money to give you, but its nice to see that you're back! Your fans are with you, no matter the breaks. Please remain safe!
Glad to see a video from you! I was honestly hit with relief seeing the notification. I’m glad you’re on something resembling the mend. As someone with chronic nerve pain that flares up from time to time, I have nothing but sympathy. I hope you find answers on what’s up soon and can continue to mend
Its nice to know that the youtube algorithm put this on the top of my feed even though you had a big gap in uploads. I missed these challenges pokemon or not
Did you know that 2,229 people watched this 3 days early? Whenever I get these videos done early, I let people watch it early through a link on my Twitter!: twitter.com/MahDryBread
:O
It's great to see you back!! :D
Welcome back!
🎉 welcome back
pure witchcaft!
Listening to that "Hey everyone, Mah-Dry-Bread here!" was such a feeling of relief and happiness for me and I'm sure everyone else too. I'm so glad you're well enough to record again and I wish you the best always.
Yeah I know it was so refreshing to me
Hey MDB! Which fossil did you take?
In this Gen he would have to go underground... and the fossil is based on his randomized trainer ID number
And I know it is a joke
Agreed
Seriously a breath of fresh air! No pun intended?
This really was a "Mah-Dry-Bread toughed it out so you wouldn't feel bad" moment
🎉
It's so good to see you're doing fine and doing challenges again. Hope you fully recover soon.
hearing his voice again after months of him being bedridden made me feel so happy. Hope you continue to get better MDB!
I'm really glad you're well enough to do another video again, I hope your health continues to improve. Chansey was a brutal pokémon to do a run with especially for a comeback while recovering lol
But it's fitting as well, considering what Chansey is good at.
At least it wasn't in ultra sun
@@nomoredlc593 God that'd probably be enough 4 him 2 quit challenges I know when I did it just to see if I could I caped the time on my cart I don't film challenge but I still do them

A physical therapist is there to help you make a proper at-home exercise regiment for symptom relief, that's a huge part of their job. In fact that is pretty much what you go to them for. They assess you, teach you exercises and proper technique, tell you to do it every day that you feel you can, then come back and do it all again. As you get better they give you different exercises to add and up the numbers of reps you do or the weight you use. They are a great option for people who get injuries they have no idea how to fix at home or for people like me who were so weak and in pain that I couldn't do the exercises that 'normal' people could do. Trying to do regular exercises was hurting me worse in many ways. I wouldn't go around discrediting them when they are just there to help. Also my chiropractor fixed my neck and lower back in like 5 weeks with only 1 session a week and I haven't been back for 5 months. He was super happy to help and encouraged me to keep following the at home regiment the PT suggested so that I wouldn't have to see him again unless I injured myself.
Heya Melinda! I love your pfp!
@@shadowfoxgirl Physical Therapists are also sometimes doctors, and I'm saying that talking to your main doctor into seeing a physical therapist doctor who might suggest at home exercises is a good thing. Thank you for your viewpoint though. :3 More knowledge for all!
I'm going through some chronic health issues of my own and dealing with a flare up right now, but just wanted to say I love and appreciate your content and outlook. Your videos coming back has been a beacon I really needed today so I'm glad to see you doing better and hope to hear you continuing to get better by the day!
Glad to see you back at it my guy, heres hoping you'll make an even speedier recovery from what happened. I really do hope you get better not just for your videos us viewers can watch but also for your family especially the Missus as well as your friends like Brandon and Whattageek. Take care of yourself first my guy and don't try working yourself to death.
Absurdly unlucky with hypnosis’ hitting 4 times, with a 0.16% chance!
I am so happy to see you back. I love your Pokémon videos so much. Hope both your health and your work recover completely.
I am so happy that you are happier and things are going better. I followed you throughout this whole ordeal. Stoked for you! Love your content! You're a motivation.
Absolutely ecstatic to hear you're feeling better, even if only just. Take all the time you need between videos and take care of yourself! Much love!
I Hope you get better mah-dry-bread, You are one of my favorite poketubers and hope you can continue to grind!
It's great to have you back. Hope your health recovers to the point of your standart! We all will keep wishing you best of recovery!
Hearing your cheerful voice after months is so heartwarming
I actually just found your channel while you were away and have been going through the Pokémon challenges backlog over the past couple weeks. I didn’t even realize anything was wrong until I clicked on this video! Regardless, I’m so glad to hear you are doing better and I hope your medical team are able to help you live a happy, healthy life. Best of luck, and thanks for the fantastic content.
Glad to see you! Welcome back! 😊
Im glad you are doing better, hope answers are given soon! I'm very glad you could still take care of your family.
Do videos if and when you can, I'm sure me and many others are still here. No matter what.
Sharing your videos, and me and my sons love you!
HES BACK! YES! this man got me through the last 2 YEARS! words can not describe how happy i am
didnt know you went through so much over the last few months i also suffer from a pinched nerve in my back that gets as bad to make my tailbone numb but not sitting at exercise helps a lot we have your back all the way lets hope 2023 gets better for all
Glad to see you're feeling well enough to be doing these again !
Something I do when I'm running out of power points in a difficult fight I give them a leppa berry to restore the power points just a little too for future runs my good man and welcome back I'm glad you are doing better but make sure to keep taking it easy
THE RETURN OF THE KING! So glad to see you back on UA-cam for more than pure medical updates. Hopefully everything starts getting sorted out properly. WE MISSED YOU MDB
Great to have you back! I think that Growl would have unironically helped A TON in the early game. The thing is, with 4 move slot syndrome, there wasn't much you could have given up, so I get your choice.
It’s so nice to hear your beautiful voice again! I love your content and I think it could be fun to make a recommendation so I hope you don’t mind! A Blissey only could be fun to see in gen 4 cause it’s Chansey with *MORE HP* which would be so weird! Or gen 3 with only Absol, An Easy one but still fun seemingly with a glass canon with a good Moveset, but that may be too easy, either way I’m so glad you’re feeling better and take care!
Did you know, the flamethrower TM is available in Feugo Ironworks by the valley wind works. No grinding needed, just surf
30:25 Barry actually pulled off a meme-strategy win. Wow
As a fellow EDS haver, I'm sending you the best of wishes. Totally sucks that our bodies just sometimes decide to fuck up severely. Glad to see you're able to work and exercise again, and I hope you continue your smooth recovery!
Glad you're doing better!
I’m so happy to hear you’re feeling well enough to start producing some videos again. I hope you’re staying safe and as healthy as you possibly can be.
On an unrelated note, this challenge run was super fun to watch! :D
It might just be me, but in a situation of Pokemon that have the other option be "Egregiously overlevel", a naturally learned evasion move is fair game. However if it was a TM move or you had clear other options it'd be less ideal to watch. Also even more so, until you're fully recovered, don't worry about using strategies to make it easier on you. It'd open up for revised run videos.
It was such a relief to finally hear your voice again.
If it's just grinding to get over a hurdle like that ghost gym, I strongly advocate for rare candies. Saves a TON of time. Same with the casino you mentioned. Sell the rare candies and buy coins to get what you need. Again, saves a TON of time.
Been watching your account t for a couple years on different accounts but I can’t really afford to pay so thank you.
To celebrate I’ll play along with the do I think you can win! It’s an hour long so I have hope but I just know the grind is going to be BRUTAL
Edit 1: the cherubi leech seeding for all of its health is halrious
Oh man just opened UA-cam and couldn't believe for some minutes even skipped your video as i thought it's an old video but so happy to see at least you are doing much much better and it was really amazing to see you back hope that you are able to continue back and just take your time
This really brought tears to my eyes. I won't pretend I am a huge fan of yours, but there were times watching your videos, especially those colosseum lets plays kept me from completely falling into depression. Nowadays I watch your vids sparingly and I wasn't aware of the situation till now. I hope you only get healthier and healthier
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. A suggestion for your Autofire problem with the emulator.
I suppose you already heard or read this in the comment section, but in the case I'm the first one: I solved the problem by using a controller that already has the Autofire button mode in its functions. Mine is a cheap and not very famous brand but is very well functioning, wireless and definitely a reliable tool.
If nothing else seems to solve the problem with the emulator, this is the best other possible solution.
Mad respect for you bro it takes a lot to admit you needed help financially. Family over pride that’s what being the provider is all about Ive been in a similar situation as you truly inspirational
Glad to have you back!
I will say there's a few TMs laying around that would have helped you quite a bit though, Thunderbolt and Flamethrower are available as soon as you get surf at the windworks and Fuego ironworks respectively, you can also drop Ice Beam any time you do a Candice fight as there's a stray TM on top of the rock climb wall as soon as you exit Mt Coronet into the snow area that you can get as soon as you beat her.
Hope that helps with any future platinum runs!
Glad youre back
Glad youre slowly geting better
SO happy you're able to able to do what you love again! It's great to see your stuff again...take care and I hope you get some answers soon!!
So glad to see you're back even if just partially. Please take care of yourself and I hope you get answers to what's going on soon and they can help you recover 💜
I was so happy to see you back MDB! Sorry to hear that you've been going through so much, and I'm happy to help out any way I can. Honestly, your content has helped me a lot through some mental health issues. Hoping for a smooth recovery for you.
Thanks for being open and sharing your medical issues. Hoping you recover
Something that might work as a stop gap for mashing is rebinding to the triggers/bumpers if your controller has them, let you use 3 different fingers for mashing. (I feel you with that, I'm always conscious of carpel tunnel myself)
You know that scene from the Sonic 2 Movie where Agent Stone gets the message from Eggman and yells "He's baaaaaaaack!" That was me when I saw this video pop up. Here's to a speedy recovery and hopefully a faster Canadian health system Mr. Bread.
It's great to hear from you again MDB! Wishing you well on your road to recovery, looking forward to seeing your videos again, at whatever pace you are comfortable putting them out at. Good luck, have fun, and take care of yourself!
10:00 MDB be like "I wouldn't know if you guys would consider eating during a run to be a performance enhancing cheat" lol
Man, it has been a while BUT IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK! To help support during your time away I watched every Pokemon Challenge you have done THREE TIMES OVER!! Well not watched, but listened while I am washing an infinite number of dishes at work. I even referred back to this videos for some tricks while doing some playthroughs of my own.
It is amazing that you still have Chimera supporting you and actually checking on you! That is incredible! Try fi ding that level of service any place else and you would not get it!
Super looking forward to more videos, no matter how long it takes!
WE LOVE YOU!
Dude I know the feeling. Been sidelined since May from Severe Osteolysis in the left shoulder and minor to the neck. Godspeed on your healing.
Math time!
In Platinum, Hypnosis had a 60% chance of hitting (unlike a lot of other Gen 4 where it was 70%).
In Gen 4, maxed out evasion means moves have a 33% chance of hitting (if it normally had 100% accuracy before).
Combine the two to get this: 60% * 33% = 20% chance of hitting hypnosis on a Pokemon with max evasion.
Doing this 4 times in a row is as simple as raising that to the power of 4, for these 4 independent events happening in a row.
20% ^ 4 = 0.16% chance, or a 1 in 625 chance of this happening.
Hey Dry Bread,
I remember first watching your series on Resident Evil 5 (wow, what a terrible game) with your buddy Brandon, and I gotta say, you are a diamond in the rough when it comes to content.
I don't have any money to give you, but its nice to see that you're back!
Your fans are with you, no matter the breaks. Please remain safe!
Glad to see a video from you! I was honestly hit with relief seeing the notification. I’m glad you’re on something resembling the mend. As someone with chronic nerve pain that flares up from time to time, I have nothing but sympathy. I hope you find answers on what’s up soon and can continue to mend
Glad you're doing a bit better, and here's hoping your improvement keeps going! Big respect on pushing ahead on your efforts with recovery!
Chansey the nurse joy sidekick run after a health hiatus is kinda funny. Stay healthy and keep getting better
Its nice to know that the youtube algorithm put this on the top of my feed even though you had a big gap in uploads. I missed these challenges pokemon or not
