To be fair, back when a lot of people were playing this for the first time, they didn't expect Cynthia to have an overleveled Garchomp before the fight
Can you at the very least say something more interesting or engaging instead of saying the most generic ass shit to farm for as much likes as possible ffs
This new garchomp wiped almost my whole team cuz it was able to get two sword dances off and spammed earthquake and dragon claw on the rest of my team, the only reason I won was because the garchomp didn’t get a 3rd sword dance, if it had I’d have lost
Or you can find people selling it on eBay for like $20-$30. Got Pokémon platinum off of there a while back and while it’s not legit, the content is exactly like the original
I was just skipping around the video a bit and heard out of context: "I'm a 27 year old man, there is no baby in the world I couldn't beat the shit out of". I haven't laughed harder all day.
Bro, was literally thinking this and was wondering if anyone else was gonna reference it, make sure y'all watch Matty's new stuff, it's just as good if not funnier at times :D
Charlie asking "What is that? Is it something I can Close Combat?" captures the very essence of every kid playing with their over-leveled starter, only attacking moves, with the highest possible base power. And I'm so here for that.

I did indeed have so much fun overlevelling my starter empoleon while making sure all my moves were the highest power possible.

Being able to switch Pokémon as the opponent throws them in is the difficulty switch in Pokémon. You can turn it off in the settings and it definitely makes the game marginally harder.
@@TailzDMW Pretty sure it's been an option since the first generation (Switch - Set option). It defaults to switch in every new game, so unless you actively chose to change that setting then you may have never noticed it.
@@gameuniverse5973 this cynthia or OG cynthia? Cause this Cynthia's pokemon actually are iv maxed, are ev trained, and have items and competitive movesets. But this games X boosting items are actually insanely good, as they buff your stats sharply unlike earlier generations.
You can’t get soft locked in the Elite Four, when all your Pokémon feint you just go back to the Pokémon center and can leave from there. If you’re able to kill any of the elite four Pokémon the best place to train is against them. Spending all your money on full restores and revives before is useful so you don’t lose any money when you lose.

@@Stickyz these games aren't difficult at all. They are only overhyped because they are harder in comparison to the other pokemon games which are all extremely easy
@@Djirifoekrkfkf cynthia is a bit of a difficulty spike but 1 or 2 tries is enough. People dont want to accept that we need to use extra rules for difficulty because pokemon is a children's game.

Honestly I’m having fun with these remakes. They are easier than the originals but I love coming home after a long day of work laying down with blankets and just playing Pokémon.
@@SpinningTurtle66 Not only impressive, hell, it would have taken days from "knowing" the enemies' pokemon (if you legit go forward without knowing what kind of enemies will be used), train a specific pokemon that fills the weakness of the team according to the opponent, and then make strategies, and then move on to the next opponent. Its freaking tedious personally, but my god, the satisfaction is still memorable in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl back then
I was there as a doubter. Charlie got me with the big brain Alex Jones metronome strats baffled Cynthia AI so much that he wins lmao. Well deserved king
Well, EXP share is forced on and the affection system breaks the game by making it a cakewalk. "Survived the hit so you won't feel sad, got a crit so you'd feel happy.." Of course Charlie didn't have trouble.
I bought a 3DS with Omega Ruby in lockdown last year with a sudden urge to bash some Pokemon, I couldn’t believe that they give you the EXP share so early on... All the longer routes your rival heals you and they literally give you a Latias half way through the game, Pokemons never been a ‘hard’ game but it’s mental how easy they’ve made them now
facte: they don’t. OG diamond and pearl (despite being VERY rough around the edges) cost around $40 rn, with platinum being around $80ish at the moment. even so, emulation is always an option
I finished beating the elite four last night with nothing but a snorlax, belly drum, and body slam/ heavy slam so seeing such a hero, brute, and savior on your team makes me smile
I recently played through the original Pokemon Diamond and most of my Pokemon had just gotten to level 50 by the time I reached Cynthia, considering that all of her Pokemon are at least lv 60 and her Garchomp is lv 66 it can be a pretty difficult fight.
I definitely underestimated this e-4 along with the champion , the e-4 was slightly annoying but not too difficult but Cynthia was a pain. It took me two attempts but her garchomp surprised me
Yeah charlie talking about how easy cynthia is while playing on switch, going to chat for every move, and using thousands of pokedollars worth in full restores irked me a lot. If he had no warning, that garchomp would have been way more of a threat than it was here.
Cynthia gave me a ton of trouble, I beat the entire E4 without using healing items but I needed like 10 energy roots (basically a max revive) to beat her. Tried 4 or 5 times without items.
I beat her after about 15 tries with no items. Ended up using a single hyper potion. Although I did do the whole e4 with no items in battle if that counts for anything
Truth be told, the rematches are the real challenge. Apparently they do the stuff that the PvP scene does with stats maxed out and held items and everything. Like it's actually insane that even the FIRST dude has actual strats going on
About a month or two ago I went on a pixelmon server where the gyms had bp Pokémon with meta moves. Hardest Pokémon battles I’ve ever had. I ended up finding out about the f.e.a.r combo because I my entire team would get wiped out by one pokemon.
As sad as it is to say, BDSP are the best Pokemon games on switch. And that's saying a lot when you look at how lackluster they are when you compare the gameplay to Platinum.
@@Darth_Insidious Platinum is good what it just a upgraded version of a bad Pokemon games play emerald, HeartGold and soul silver,or black and white there the high points of the series
on paper her team in the remakes is better than it was in the OG. All of her mons now have items and is catered to specifically widdle down all of your Garchomp counters. Garchomp is also forced to be her last pokemon, so you can't cheese it by killing it early. The forced exp.share just makes it dick easy to level your team so it kinda loses its difficulty.
yeah nothing like getting softlocked in puzzles bc they added 8 directional movement, or oneshotting the slite 4 10 levels over them bc they added Exp All. dumbasses rewarding bad devs with money
Back in the day I couldn’t even beat her Milotic or Roserade, let alone Garchomp. I grinded my entire team to level 55 and it STILL wasn’t enough. There’s wasn’t a broken experience share back in the original DP either, all you had was the putsy original one so grinding levels up took SO MUCH TIME. Only to find out her Garchomp is level 66 and has moves that cover every single one of its weaknesses AND it’ll outspeed every one of your Pokémon. Good times.
@@adhlansentiana originals wasnt tough, just get an empoleon with like surf and blizzard and you can sweep the entire elite 4+cynthia without needing to heal except for using ethers
I just want them to give the player a freedom to choose between hard or easy mode, the difficulty is stupidly easy, especially with that ash ketchum power of friendship thing, even the kid's shape puzzle was harder than almost every main pokemon game
Honestly the game kinda does have a hard mode. Just turn the "switch" setting to "set" in the options and don't overlevel or use legendaries to cheese the fights. Playing that way feels like the games are pretty balanced in difficulty to be honest.
@@HinoChanification that's not a hard mode programmed into the game that's just you setting restrictions onto yourself. i meant a proper one where the teams are built better, the ai is less stupid, ect generally i prefer hard modes to work by making the actual game harder rather than restricting what you can do
I played this game with Hardcore Nuzlocke rulesl (Set, no items, etc) and steamrolled the entire game with no casualties only to get my teeth punched down my throat by Cynthia. Aaron is the only deadweight in this E4, honestly horrifying Cynthia was the absolute monster she`s always been
@@lewanbroski504 Let's go has mechanics from Pokemon go (you farm experience by catching pokemon) but there are still a lot fo fights I personally enjoy it a lot, it's a remake of Pokemon yellow btw
OG this was hard without a whole chat answering your questions, and helping with your team. Just saying it makes it a cake walk. You have affection, switch on, EXP Share. Definitely not the same.
@@id1550 It's actually challenging if you don't overlevel and play with set battle style and if you lose on purpose you lose affection so that's what I did
@@MisterRegretti lol I’m not going to put in a lot of effort just to make the game as hard as possible. I just want to play the game and so that is what I did. So from the perspective of someone who played the game as it was intended to be played, it’s easy
Charlie: "Cynthia is soo overhyped, what an easy fight." Also Charlie: - Gets backseat gamed super hard by chat - Spams full resores - Has swapping after an enemy pokemon faints enabled Seriously, the game gets 100 times easier just with that option, since you can just swap to whatever sweeps the new mon.
@@AlearPaste the fact that you have to add certain restrictions to the game just to make it harder says alot lmao. Ita fucking pokemon. Chill the fuck out its not like hes cheating in the Olympics lmao. God i swear pokemon fans are like the biggest crybabies
She's more scary in a Nuzlocke where other trainers before her have probably knocked out at LEAST a couple of your good pokemon....and then she shows up with some powerhouses. Still very scary
Tbh the E4 in this game is why she's scary in Nuzlockes. With a frankly lazy E4 lineup like gen 3 or gen 6 she would be much easier for nuzlockers to handle imo. Almost all champions are scary in nuzlockes, Iris, Blue, and N/Ghetsis are all examples of that.

Indeed
The irony is lost on him
can someone explain what these words mean i havent paid attention to a pokemon game since red
Being able to switch Pokémon as the opponent throws them in is the difficulty switch in Pokémon. You can turn it off in the settings and it definitely makes the game marginally harder.
@@TailzDMW Pretty sure it's been an option since the first generation (Switch - Set option). It defaults to switch in every new game, so unless you actively chose to change that setting then you may have never noticed it.
Bruh i use just one Pokemon and sweep Cynthia so eh
@@gameuniverse5973 Let me guess you use x items and over level? Yeah anyone can do that.

He only healed on snorlax which was useless anyway since he was just spamming metronome. Not to mention his whole team is underleved for this.

@@MyHipsAreMovingOnTheirOwn There was alot of cuts in this clip, he even revived Joe and healed it if you pay attention lol
You can’t get soft locked in the Elite Four, when all your Pokémon feint you just go back to the Pokémon center and can leave from there. If you’re able to kill any of the elite four Pokémon the best place to train is against them. Spending all your money on full restores and revives before is useful so you don’t lose any money when you lose.
They don't give you money for winning, right? If they do then that's a really convenient farm for pp/potions etc.
@@Gnurklesquimp if you win you get money, if you lose you pay money
@@MrQwerp Ohh I see, I would've thought they're not infinitely farmable like that, that should be good if you can reliably take 2+ down and you win more than you lose, otherwise 3+. (If you still need money to begin with)

Cynthia is so casual for being a champion. No wonder she's a fan favorite, apart from giving many people a beating.
i like Alder, he was more relaxed to the point he was never at his post.
Steven is pretty chill too.Man just wants to be with his rocks.
Its also most likely helps that she' the first female npc pokemon champion who has a dope design that also probably became alot of kids pokemon character crush lmao
@@khalduras784 (in my opinion) apart from Lance she has probably the coolest design of any Elite 4 champion in any of the iterations of the pokémon games
She's always been my favourite due to how humble she is as a character, she comes across as just another trainer when you meet her at Eterna City for the first time which is sick
Well from watching this i can say the one thing they definitely improved was the speed of the health bars depleting
Yes
Charlie had crazy rng that whole time, my first run, every single high jump kick from the 3rd and 4th landed on me and Flint pulled off a baton pass to lopunny that was literally terrifying until I remembered my crobat knows haze

@@zaciorfida-costanzo706 switch mode is when it asks if you want to switch before they send out the next pokemon. You can change it to set mode for more challenge.
@@zaciorfida-costanzo706 when you ko an opponents pokemon, the game tells you what their next pokemon is and then gives you the option to switch out as well. You can turn that off, since it makes the game easier

To be fair he is like 10 levels underlevelled and he plays like a toddler

I've said this many times but these games were never that difficult without the rules we place on ourselves.
@@Stickyz these games aren't difficult at all. They are only overhyped because they are harder in comparison to the other pokemon games which are all extremely easy
@@Djirifoekrkfkf cynthia is a bit of a difficulty spike but 1 or 2 tries is enough. People dont want to accept that we need to use extra rules for difficulty because pokemon is a children's game.

Yo what is it with UA-cam comments being bombarded w spambots
Cynthia threw the battle because she knew I had channel points invested in Charlie losing. She's a crafty one.
"That wasn't as much damage as I expected, people hyped the shit out of this matchup"
- Cynthia's Garchomp is 11 levels higher than his Mamoswine
fact that charlie can actually beat her against the odds with items is just proof of how overrated this game is lmao

Isn't ice shard just 40 BP?

@@thisiswarhuhwow6120 probably cause he doesnt have the gym badges for those higher levels for a new play though, probably.
As a kid, the Elite Four was always hard for me because I never thought to heal my Pokemon between fights. It did make me use more strategy though.
It’s actually super impressive that you survived the elite four without ‘free’ healing, nice one
@@SpinningTurtle66 Not only impressive, hell, it would have taken days from "knowing" the enemies' pokemon (if you legit go forward without knowing what kind of enemies will be used), train a specific pokemon that fills the weakness of the team according to the opponent, and then make strategies, and then move on to the next opponent. Its freaking tedious personally, but my god, the satisfaction is still memorable in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl back then
I was there as a doubter. Charlie got me with the big brain Alex Jones metronome strats baffled Cynthia AI so much that he wins lmao.
Well deserved king
This is the nerfed family friendly Platinum Synthia. Diamond version Synthia from 2006 was the beast.
Also in diamond your Pokémon didn’t tough it out on one hp due to friendship
but the pokemon they use are competitively viable with hidden abilities, special items and max iv’s on 2 to 5 stats so thats another difficulty level
@@bigmandequan8921 Yea but also dont forget the limited pool of pokemon you have to chose on diamond and no trading evolutions.
the one with the hustle togekiss ?
Cynthia had Togekiss in Platinum tho, this is her DP team
Well, EXP share is forced on and the affection system breaks the game by making it a cakewalk. "Survived the hit so you won't feel sad, got a crit so you'd feel happy.."
Of course Charlie didn't have trouble.
Yeah these two things bother me as well. But I just we have to accept that their target audience are kids and kids like easy games ig
No one had trouble with this game, yet everyone says it's difficult, hence the title.
@@kleitos6162 Really? People are saying it's difficult? How the heck
I bought a 3DS with Omega Ruby in lockdown last year with a sudden urge to bash some Pokemon, I couldn’t believe that they give you the EXP share so early on... All the longer routes your rival heals you and they literally give you a Latias half way through the game, Pokemons never been a ‘hard’ game but it’s mental how easy they’ve made them now
@@nilsus8365 They could at least make an option to turn those off though.
"Not worth $60, just play the originals"
Meanwhile: *The originals costing like double*
True, most DS games cost a small fortune now.
emulation
You can download a rom of the original games for free in less than a minute.
facte: they don’t. OG diamond and pearl (despite being VERY rough around the edges) cost around $40 rn, with platinum being around $80ish at the moment. even so, emulation is always an option
Just go to your local thrift or pawn and you can get it there durt cheap
That’s it. I’m convinced Charlie can make any moment in any game hype asf
I finished beating the elite four last night with nothing but a snorlax, belly drum, and body slam/ heavy slam so seeing such a hero, brute, and savior on your team makes me smile
Lol no matter how hard Cynthia is, Pokemon main game difficulty is still a joke for anyone over the age of 13
@The TacoCat hey no one cares
I’m 17 and I almost died to Cynthia
Clearly you never faced the grass type totem in Pokemon sun/moon, that shit was competitive worthy
@@RockDatDubstep it was hard but it took the average person like 2 tries. Pokemon as a franchise is easy as hell
@@RockDatDubstep it's only hard because everything surrounding it is lightyears easier
I like how Charlie took away the satisfaction of knowing the end of the flamethrower vs acrobatics decision.
This game has taught me how important moves like swift and aerial ace are
Spiritomb: "It's over, Snorlax! I have the type advantage!"
Snorlax with Metronome: "You underestimate my power."
I recently played through the original Pokemon Diamond and most of my Pokemon had just gotten to level 50 by the time I reached Cynthia, considering that all of her Pokemon are at least lv 60 and her Garchomp is lv 66 it can be a pretty difficult fight.
Yeah that was the big issue people hopping in on the remakes wont understand
The exp share is op af
charlie has just gotten wiser and wiser the more hes been wearing those glasses
This was the most hyped content I've seen for Pokemon in a while
Thats awesome dude, I didn't know u played Pokemon Charlie
I definitely underestimated this e-4 along with the champion , the e-4 was slightly annoying but not too difficult but Cynthia was a pain. It took me two attempts but her garchomp surprised me
Yeah charlie talking about how easy cynthia is while playing on switch, going to chat for every move, and using thousands of pokedollars worth in full restores irked me a lot. If he had no warning, that garchomp would have been way more of a threat than it was here.
Cynthia gave me a ton of trouble, I beat the entire E4 without using healing items but I needed like 10 energy roots (basically a max revive) to beat her. Tried 4 or 5 times without items.
Energy roots are the 120 hp one revival herbs are the max revive
I beat her after about 15 tries with no items. Ended up using a single hyper potion. Although I did do the whole e4 with no items in battle if that counts for anything
@@Stickyz my b
@@Stickyz Also energy root is extremely bitter and while revival herb is terribly bitter but who the hell cares about that?
@@sonicboom126 lmao
Charlie: Most overhyped boss ever.

Truth be told, the rematches are the real challenge. Apparently they do the stuff that the PvP scene does with stats maxed out and held items and everything.
Like it's actually insane that even the FIRST dude has actual strats going on

I love all the bot replies
on paper her team in the remakes is better than it was in the OG. All of her mons now have items and is catered to specifically widdle down all of your Garchomp counters. Garchomp is also forced to be her last pokemon, so you can't cheese it by killing it early. The forced exp.share just makes it dick easy to level your team so it kinda loses its difficulty.
yeah nothing like getting softlocked in puzzles bc they added 8 directional movement, or oneshotting the slite 4 10 levels over them bc they added Exp All. dumbasses rewarding bad devs with money
Back in the day I couldn’t even beat her Milotic or Roserade, let alone Garchomp. I grinded my entire team to level 55 and it STILL wasn’t enough. There’s wasn’t a broken experience share back in the original DP either, all you had was the putsy original one so grinding levels up took SO MUCH TIME. Only to find out her Garchomp is level 66 and has moves that cover every single one of its weaknesses AND it’ll outspeed every one of your Pokémon. Good times.
I sweeped Cynthia and the rest of the elite four with one garchomp on my first run
She isn’t hard at all
And now in BDSP I’m level 55 even before the 8th gym leader without ever grinding my lol
Exactly, the og was pretty tough back in the day... Cynthia got me good. The bdsp version isn’t as difficult as i remember honestly
@@adhlansentiana originals wasnt tough, just get an empoleon with like surf and blizzard and you can sweep the entire elite 4+cynthia without needing to heal except for using ethers
Make a Charlie Tier list, I just seen one on my recommended and fell down a rabbit hole.xD
I just want them to give the player a freedom to choose between hard or easy mode, the difficulty is stupidly easy, especially with that ash ketchum power of friendship thing, even the kid's shape puzzle was harder than almost every main pokemon game
We had that in black and white 2 hard mode and easy mode but got removed from the games moving forward.
@@silverbolt9439 the kiddy’s got mad I guess
@@silverbolt9439 gamefreak has a habit of removing good features don't they?
Honestly the game kinda does have a hard mode. Just turn the "switch" setting to "set" in the options and don't overlevel or use legendaries to cheese the fights. Playing that way feels like the games are pretty balanced in difficulty to be honest.
@@HinoChanification that's not a hard mode programmed into the game that's just you setting restrictions onto yourself.
i meant a proper one where the teams are built better, the ai is less stupid, ect
generally i prefer hard modes to work by making the actual game harder rather than restricting what you can do
Cynthia is easy when you're using a time god, playing on switch mode and spamming full restores lol
True lol and a pseudo-ledendary in Garchomp
Also when you’re using some of the best Pokémon before post game
Brings back so many memories of Cynthia’s demon of a Garchomp
This video is one of my favorites out of all of the ones I've seen.
If I learned anything from this video, its that Charlie's chat doesn't know anything about Pokemon.
I love that Jim wool continues to be a character in these videos
