It was an honour to have you play my romhack, and it also was a lot of fun to see what strategies you used compared to what I did in FireRed! Can't wait to see what challenge you'll be attempting next :)

Its a resume of the video 😅

Getting there is the entire battle
It feels like half a battle happened for your team while you're going there.
Seriously! I was expecting this to make battles challenging, but seeing just how much of the challenge was just getting to battles in the first place was crazy.
Seeing him say leaf blade could be a two shot when it’s quad resisted by Crobat is killing me.
Go easy on him it’s his first time playing Pokémon
Altaria too lmao
HAHAHAHAHA SAME
and shock wave on the cacturne
@@Infernoraptor try using psychic on cacturne and see what happens
Smant always does what seems impossible, but this might be his crowning achievment. No other gamer has managed to touch grass so many times.
Grass is ass, Moss is boss
@@Doom8810hay is gay
His first emerald challenge was to avoid poké centers at all cost, and his latest one is to depend on them as much as possible
such a coincidence
@@LuigiMario1Two luigi fans 😮
@@IdentifiantE.S wow
It is sort like a poetry, it rhymes
Imagine Them both at once
The amount times Smant used Leaf Blade on something like Crobat or Altaria expecting good damage was insane
He also called Leaf Blade "not a physical move" at one point, this mans never picked Treeko once in his life fr.
@@KillinTime2792 This is Gen III so all Grass type moves are special
@@KillinTime2792 bro this is Emerald, gen 3
I could maybe understand Altaria since Swablu is normal/flying and maybe he thinks it keeps the normal typing, but with Crobat is just odd.
@@KillinTime2792 It's ok, I'm sure gen 3 was before your time
24:13 And here we see a wild SmallAnt performing his mating call, so majestic
This is a very rarely-seen moment, we should all consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have witnessed such a magnificent display
it sounds like the sfx of a girl screaming
That's his battlecry. The mating call is 38:16
When I saw this comment I assumed you were talking about 24:39
That scream smallant did when he couldn't kill the slaking and got hit to one hp was hilarious.
it caught me so off guard. I'm watching at work and almost blew my cover
@LeviAEthan512 not surprised especially with how high pitched that scream was
🤣
@@shalomkitty4429 Sounded like the most pathetic elevator chime
i came to comments to see what ppl say abt it and here's already a top comment abt it 💀
It hurts so very much that smant remembers that you can get a wailord at 1% encounter rate on 1 singular route, but can’t remember the npc that gives you giga drain.
i was confused when he didn't just get giga drain
TBF, it does only have 5pp this gen, so it wouldn't be as effective. Honestly am just sad my boy shroomish didn't get tis chance to shine with leech-seed mega drain +fihting type moves for glacia and extra grass for wallace
Gotta love that the starter in the thumbnail is the only one he didn't pick.
Can we just appreciate the thumbnail makers
Love it so much
Very nice

13:20 the fear in his eyes about how much this reversal would do is hilarious
The look of a nuzlocker who has lost starters to Counter and Mirror Coat…
There were so many points in that run that were saved by entering a pokecenter being enough to respawn in it, something I had no idea worked like that.
Funnily enough, that isn't enough in every generation of pokemon, but it is in Emerald.
@@isaiahschmitt8680 It was probably a fail safe by the Devs. Emerald has of tone of fail safes to prevent you from getting trapped because it was easy to do in Ruby and Sapphire. For example Wally's dad give you Surf the second you step out of Petalburg gym after you get the badge so that you can't get trapped on Dewford without it.
It still counted as whiting out so it didn’t matter that much imo
@@daveba981 He'd have to travel the entire way again, so thank God it works like that
@@lowtetrisbeatbox965 Ah ok i see why it’s good then
This is one of the best Emerald challenge runs I've seen. It's on the edge of impossibility right off the bat and requires very unconventional strategies. It's cool seeing a run that actually requires Treecko as the starter, and showcases the utility of several pokemon that are not commonly used like this.
You know it's going to be a good time when Beautifly is utilized the whole way through. Best part of challenge runs is always going to be weird, niche, usually bad Pokemon getting spotlight even for a moment.
ok
Beuatifly and Dustox on exist in our memories now
Yeah! Unique challenges like these can really give normally overlooked pokemon time to shine, which is pretty neat imo. Draining and healing moves are gold here! Also teleport.
The editing and comedic timing on this video is insane.
„We‘ll be fine as long as we two-shot.“ *does like 10%* „It‘s okay, we‘re fine.“ *gets crit*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg the battle with Norman was wild! The cherry on top, imagine losing to your son’s starter with 1hp and the experience of your fainted ace gives the starter just the amount of exp it needs to level up, and it evolves immediately after the battle. Incredible!
This challenge is basically giving your Pokémon high heels and making them walk through Disney World for a weekend.
Nebula, from just a teleporter, to a literal MVP. Epic.
How did he maje it evolve?:o
@@elmaestro1678the mod had it so Pokémon that evolve through trade evolve at 40 instead
@@elijahstroup4953 thnx :)
As a Treecko enjoyer, I'm glad he's finally the one who shines in a pokemon emerald challenge
Gen 3 starters are all pretty balanced. Sceptile is generally considered the best in Emerald, Swampert the best in Ruby and Sapphire, and Blaziken is the best competetively.
it wasnt a shiny treeko mate
@@reduxx19they didn’t say it was shiny mate
@@alextorres7126it's a joke.
@@dasaiyantv8483no Swampers better competitively because it resists Rock
a crazy optimized speedrun of this mod would be insane. every step would be min max'd to hell. the execution would be crazy
29:47 his reaction to Maxie’s high level Mightyena 😟🤣 also his futile attempt of defeating Crobat with his freaking Sceptile “I think we still got this.” Then that crit was just the icing on top
I love Pokémon challenges that involve the player or overworld more than a lot of others, because most of them fall under “Pokémon but [BATTLE QUIRK] makes it harder.” So seeing these are a great change of pace. Keep it up!
this and alpharad's ice physics run are some of my favorites for this exact reason
I loathe any video titled something like "Is it possible to beat x with y". The answer is always yes. Sillier things like this are way more interesting.
@@sarahwallace1103 Even if it’s not possible, they usually bend the a bit rules to pad the video length which undermines the entire point of the challenge.
@@sarahwallace1103 I have actually seen a few videos where they get to the very end of the game and realize that, no, you cannot actually beat X with Y. It was actually pretty funny.
I do agree that it's usually clickbaity, though. Like, yes, you can beat Dark Souls with a caestus. The caestus deals damage, and you need to deal damage to things to win the game. I've seen some creators call those "Beating X with Y" instead of what you said, and I think that works out a lot better.
@@xSilentZeroXxsee also things like "can I beat x with y" as opposed to "can you beat" because sometimes the answer is "it's probably possible in theory but it turns out I have neither the time nor inclination, especially if I'm going to get another video out by next deadline"
24:10 That squeal killed me, I actually couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard
That's a classic "woman getting stabbed by a serial killer in a horror movie" scream. They should use it in the movies lmao
He legit sounded like a seagull
Breath air
turned into a wingull
"NO....*HIIIIHHHHAAUUUUUUU*"
Brawly used a Super Potion.
"What a coward!", says SmallAnt, as he orders his Beautifly to use Morning Sun on that same turn.
I love how in hindsight, in all his RSE challenges he cycled through all 3 starters. He chose Treecko for this one, Torchic for the "everyone has Wonder Guard" and Mudkip for the "No Pokecenter" and "1v2" challenges. Goes to show how diverse you need to be, and how very completable these seemingly impossible runs are
This is why I love gen 3. All three are amazing
Glad to see you moving back to these challenges. Pokemon Challenges and Lockouts are my favorite content from you!
_Uses leaf blade against enemies with X1/4 resistance to grass_
_Does almost no damage_
_Surprised Pikachu face_
My favorite part of the video was when Smant said “it’s absorbin’ time,” and then absorbed all over the place.
This would be hilarious as an animation, just a dude walking around, muttering numbers with each step, constantly checking his pokemon, and whiting out in the middle of the pokemon center.
And he just sits in one patch of grass, spinning silently
24:13 I never thought Smant could screech like that haha
That's a classic "woman getting stabbed by a serial killer in a horror movie" scream. I hope they use it in the movies lmao.
I love the way that it sounds when you can say "and we can absorb all the Pokemon on the way back up!" because it's as if you're actually absorbing them into your Pokemon like a weird amalgamation, using their life force to fuel your own.
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Pokémon Slime.
pokémon but it's actually metroid fusion
Aren’t you though?
Pokémon but it is also Metroid Dread as well
Massive respect to his pokemons remembering moves after suffering severe brain damage from bashing their heads against the pokeballs with every steps
Let’s go dude, your Pokémon challenge runs will always me (in my opinion) your best form of content. They’re just so enjoyable to watch while chilling. I can shut my brain off and consume.
Oh god I can tell ant is either gonna have insane luck or be wrecked in this challenge
I mean he had to have, or else we wouldn't have gotten it into a full video
@@jstar3382 the commenter gives 2 sides of a spectrum, both sides are entertaining and are content, any possibility of what could happen is between those 2 options, and those other possibilities are still entertaining and are content, so anything could be a video unless the challenge itself is boring
@@mariotheundying personally the latter would be more entertaining to the wider spectrum because as shown by ants videos, suffering = money
wrgg
I believe the answer is yes.
I couldnt imagine doing this challenge in B&W 1, Skyarrow Bridge would be almost impossible. You’d need a pokemon with a hp stat of about 386 or a LOT of overworld-gotten potions
Dang bo
The one time that huge cinematic moment turns out to be a detriment.
Cant you catch pokemon on the skyarrow bridge tho?
@@sparkred4565 Your thinking of the Charizard Bridge that's the other smaller bridge from later in the game.
12:34 "Morning Sun, get as high as i can"
Pretty much my first thought every morning 😂
You should do a challenge run where you put all your challenge runs on a wheel and for every gym or similar milestone, you give it a spin to see which one of them is active for that segment.
They’d have to be the self-inflicted challenges, because ones like these are from a ROM hack.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiastor they all get combined into one ROM hack and it is the most intense version of a pokemon game to ever exist.
@@donaldmaroschek3120 Can you imagine the coding NIGHTMARE that would be for the modder? Yeah, I doubt that it will happen lol.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast i would imagine it's a nightmare in general. Not saying it will happen, just that it would be pretty epic if it did
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiastthe best way to do it would probably be to have a menu that allows you to change challenge at any point with only one active at any time. from that it'd just require the code from the other mods, I think. would be a pain for one person to do but not impossible, so it just depends on if someone has enough free time and energy to do it
The one type of run when HP Ev training is required to beat the early game.
This was a stressful challenge to watch, but it was fun seeing it all play out.
Healing sustain is crucial.
A weird idea I had:
What if you can beat a pokemon game with only the first option to be pressed? That means if your pokemon knows Tackle, Growl, Roar and Sand Attack, it can only use Tackle until it learns a new move, where its forced to take the newest move in the first slot.
If you use the bag, you can only use the first item in each tab, regardless of how useful or useless it is.
You effectively cannot switch until fainted, and if fainted, you can only pick your next pokemon in line.
impossible, simple.
I know in Gen IV you can re-arrange moves outside of battle--but with the other rules, that'd be a bit wonky
A challenge where you can only evolve one Pokémon for each gym badge you get, meaning only 8 total evolutions would be interesting to watch
That Slaking fight was the textbook definition of "emotional rollercoaster"
I feel like this challenge takes on a "survival of the fittest" aspect, adding a lot more ambition and strategic finesse to the game. I really like it!
And in this case, the fittest have recovery moves or high HP.
Honestly very impressive that he was able to pull this off at all. It seems this run is just Gen 3 Poison mechanics except it's guaranteed to happen each step instead of after a few steps.
Nice to finally see Treecko get some love
He is poggers
24:13 I never thought Smant could screech like that haha. This is such a interesting and difficult challenge!.
I know in general UA-cam favors shorter form videos but I really like the longer videos because although it’s still really condensed it feels much more like the whole game
UA-cam likes longer content more not shorter because it wants you to be on the platform more and longer content does that.
@@tm79aliyou’re right that UA-cam wants you on the platform as long as possible but I think that means video length doesn’t matter at all, just retention and if people watch more after a video or stop really and decide to leave the platform. A well made long or short video could do just the same I think.
@tm79ali people spend 3-4 hours just scrolling through tiktok, a combination of shorts and short videos will probably add up to more watch time for UA-cam than a long video
Next challenge: Nuzlocke with this mod
Alternate title: Man learns how busted Alakazam is
Slakoth with slack off would have been a nice addition so you could diversify outside of grass mons
nuh uh
@@mello-by”we’ll uh” what?
Actually, yeah. If he decided against it because Truant was an issue, then he could've grinded it up to a Vigoroth and slapped the Everstone you get in Granite Cave on it. It might not be as strong as Slaking, but at least it would be somewhat of an option for later fights I think.
@@mello-by yea huh
Diversify away from his only grass mon
The 24:10 “NO” followed by the scream was gold
Mega drained by balls to this video and then my sock used absorb! Great content love your work!
8:47 HE WAS RIGHT THERE! 🤣 I can’t even imagine the reaction of the nurse
SmallAnt content always cheers me up when I’m sad. Thanks for the new content!
Hope you start feeling better soon, in the famous words of tomatoanus “no feeling is permanent”
I really like the fact this was indirectly a Grass-heavy run, considering it's often considered a weak type, but in a format like this its strenghts really come into play. Hoenn being imo one of the better gens for Grass types overall definitely helps too.
Dude yes! I’ve been waiting for your next big challenge upload. Pumped to watch this one.
All these nurse joys watching you pass out as you walk in the door, they must be traumatized
the sound he makes at 24:13 is pure anxiety and comedy, sounds like a dying donkey
Can we just appreciate the thumbnail makers - they make such good thumbnails for all smallant videos 😄

Nebula, from just a teleporter, to a literal MVP. Epic.. The strategy and planning was so great on this challenge.
I'm so happy to see more pokemon challenge runs!!! They are by far my favourite content on the channel. My favourites have been beating Pokemon X against lvl 100s, and the videos where the AI was replaced by SmallAnt's friend.
When Smant has to go full big brain mode in the first few minutes of the video, you know your in for a good one.
Man, it's so fun to see unique challenges like this that makes normally overlooked pokemon shine so much. In this case, healing and draining moves are gold! Also teleport.
Those transitions between days/cloth changes are flawless. Little details like this make your videos flow well.
I remember that claydol xatu combination wiping me during even a normal play through.
The strategy and planning was so great on this challenge
Never in my life did I know that there was a move called morning sun
That shock wave from manetric onto sceptile was almost definitely a rolls, very ballsy but never punished!

this has probably been my favourite video! you learn so much through these rom hacks!
I always love Smants challenges but was so cool to see different pokemon thrive in this run! Treecko line, Beautifly, Xatu, Kadabra and Wailord arent super common for these playthroughs so was great they ended up being MVPs!
What a fun concept! It really demonstrates how incredible you are at strategizing in Pokemon!
Smant and Pokémon is an unbeatable combination. Instantly put a smile in my face.
"Today we're doing something interesting."
the same thing you do every day smallant
I got to watch some of this on stream and it was a blast
Thanks Small Ant!
That was a really fun challenge with a pretty unique team to win with
Ah yeah I haven't seen much pokemon content (by you) in a while great to see some!
Finally! Waited so long for another Pokemon challenge video
this was so much better than expected and thats saying a lot. keep up the great content
Loving what your doing keep doing great work!
Insane challenge run, this is amazing!
Finaly a new Pokemon-Challenge! I love this kind of videos :D Great Work.
I have missed these type of videos from smalant! Thank you
It’s nice to see a run use Treecko for once. Most runs the starter doesn’t matter that much so people choose Mudkip for the meme.
People don’t choose mudkip for the meme. Mudkip is objectively the best starter for a hoenn play through.
This is sick. I’ve missed the Pokémon content ❤
Oh my gosh I really love how you build affinity with your Pokemon, especially at the end. I's just so sweet.
"Excuse me, guys. I'm fishing for a f to give" :D
Very cool! Now do it nuzlocked...
Haven’t finished the video yet but a good strat is probably to grab the wynaut egg since I’m pretty sure Wobbuffet has a base HP of like 200 or some crazy number and it evolves at level 20. It may be good to keep in the back as like an HP sink to keep from fainting when going though routes to avoid using potions unless absolutely necessary.
32:23 “We deliberately fight the Electrodes to Recover.”
*self destruct* 🤣
This is a real smant classic. I been waiting for one of those for ages
Alakasam was an unexpected carry (partially because I thought it was stuck as Kadabra) for me, but it makes sense in hindsight. Even if it was stuck as Kadabra being a fast mon with calm mind, recover, and a spamable stab + coverage combo makes it an easy inclusion.
It’s always a great day when small ant uploads
