After seeing all that Scarlet and Violet has to offer, I really only have one takeaway. That the Pokemon team isn't running out of ideas and have plenty of passion. But simply need much more time to actually put out a finished product. I think if the game was allowed to have another year or 2 in development, it could've turned out much better. Here's to hoping that one day, Pokemon isn't treated like a cash cow, and is allowed to receive the time it needs to truly be great again.
I agree. I can tell how it was rushed due to the glitches and bugs this game is littered with. Plus a smaller thing I noticed is that the newer shines aren't the best either(some are great but I wish they would have put more into tinkatink line and ceruledge). Like even in sheild, the new pokemon shines had more variety it seamed. I dunno, I didn't feel like they had time to do anything else other than making sure the players walked on solid ground most of the time. I know that it sold well but I hope the dlc doesn't sell as well as the games did and learn that it was mostly because it was a rushed game. If I known it was rush, I wouldn't have bought it or saved it for when it got fixed.
The thing is, they have the ability to improve with sheer numbers. They intentionally keep the team working on pokemon the size of a large indie dev. When the company finally hired new people and doubled the dev teams size, they promptly put all the new people on pokemon and moved all the old ones onto a new project. They have the money to upsize but upsizing means less profits to share around so they just won't do it.
For the record. Male Oinks are classified as black according to the pokedex, while females are classified as brown. I've done pallete-lockes, IE only one color and went solely by dex color, which gives some interesting takes
I almost got worry because this channel was very quiet for the last two weeky but this video was reall, worth it. It's definitely a major step up quality wise and I really hope for the success of this video.
To answer your question about how to pronounce Mismagius, some Pokémon names are split between the community over how to pronounce, like how with Rayquaza most people say “Ray-qwa-zuh” but because it’s name is based of “Quasar” correct pronunciation is “Ray-qway-zuh”. Anyways Mismagius personally I pronounce “Mis-Mage-ee-uhs” because it looks like a mage with the big hat
wasn't able to catch the last 2 or 3 streams because it was the end of the semester, so i can't wait to see how the challenge ended. it was an honor to live and die as your forced lechonk encounter
This is a perfect example of too many restrictions. You've diluted down thr challenge to such a degree that almost all autonomy is out of it. You can't switch mons, you need to be stuck eith what you have, forced to fight everything. There's almost no strategy other then luck because every decision you might actually make has a rule preventing it
Idk what i was expecting when i clicked on this video, but boiling the challenge down to extreme RNG makes this entire video horrible. Not sure what they were thinking when they thought this was a good idea, but this amount of rules is just ridiculous
@Poison_Ivy challenge is one thing but truthfully the only challenge is sticking to the rule set. The game itself is either win or lose randomly at this point
This is my first video to see of yours, and I do agree with some comments. Too many restrictions that some points it felt like a chore, however the charisma you have and the entertainment you provided was way more than enough to make up for the lows (That super effective rule mainly) of the challenge. I hope to see more unqiue vids like this!
Love your editing, this was fun to catch live! Most memorable moment was seeing you struggle on the ocean and eventually ending up with a "random" gimmighoul :)
You should have added that your pokemon gets to pick it's moves. Like if you ask it if it wants to learn a certain move and it says no, you can't learn it again. If it says yes, you must replace the move it wants. Update: I got to the point where that's a thing hello rule 33. But honestly, I wish more people used this method for their playthroughs. I did somewhat as I like the idea of giving my Pokemon more personalities. But I sometimes say yes or no to their suggestions. Most of the time, they are in sync with me and we are both thinking yes for the move and what move we want to get rid of.. it can be kinda scary.
10:10 first nuzlocke lost my entire team to this monstrosity, one Pokémon held on and added this thing to my team. The amount of blood on his hands though.
For rules I liked, I personally liked the rule that banned any use of a newly caught Pokémon if it shares a type with a Pokémon currently in your party. It’s a pretty solid rule in game like Scarvi because it’s so open and you can go literally anywhere you want. It raises the stakes, forces you to make your team diverse and also might make you explore the other areas early in an attempt to get a unique typed encounter which is a risk because areas don’t scale with levels but could pay off in the long run and be a decision which makes or breaks an attempt. And in regards to encounters, if you ever Nuzlocke Scarvi again, I personally would have them determined by a randomiser. As in you input all of the pokemon in that area into one of those spin the wheel randomisers (and exclude Pokémon that are exempt in your rule set like psuedo legendaries for example) and whatever Pokémon it picks is the one you go looking for. That means you spend a lot less time getting frustrated with being unable to encounter any Pokémon at all like in the West Paldean Sea, and you don’t have your encounter messed up by a random Pokémon just running headfirst into you or bs frame drops or some other unfair thing happening due to poor optimisation. And you get more time exploring the actual area and being able to take it all in. In addition to this you might also get a pretty rare or unusual Pokémon which means you actually have to go hunting for it. With the way you did encounters in this challenge there were a lot of Pokémon you could have never encountered like Applin which actually has a pretty cool spawn location but with the randomiser wheel you could have gotten lucky, went hunting for it and then be pleasantly surprised by such a neat little detail, which I think is pretty important if you’re experiencing a game for the first time. I feel like this woule streamline how nuzlocke encounters work in this specific game and definitely save you a lot of headache if you keep having to restart the challenge. I also liked how you didn’t do level caps, I feel like a level cap for this kind of challenge would have dragged it out and would have been pretty cruel, espeically if you’re going into the game blind. I personally also didn’t go to Katy nor the Flying titan until much later in the game because I explored the whole east side of the map first. For some nuzlockers that could end an entire attempt because of how Scarvi is designed with no set path and it would also lock you into doing a set path which goes against the whole vibe of the game. As for anything else, I really do feel like for long, complicated challenges like this I think it’s important to either be lenient on, amend or scrap rules that cause excessive frustration, mainly to just prevent burnout or stress. Like the grass-type rule, the super effective rule, the ‘first pokemon sent out must be the opposite gender to the assumed gender of the trainer’ rule (which is such a huge mental load oh my god) and especially the torment rule. I feel like rules in challenges like this can very quickly go from challenging but fun to just cruel and unreasonable. Especially since streamers are not only y’know playing the game with ridiculous self-imposed rules already, but you’re also adding commentary, are on camera the entire time AND you’re consciously interacting with your chat for hours upon hours at a time. Like yeah maybe in a pre recorded run that’s then edited and uploaded it could maybe be okay? But tbh until I became friends with a streamer and became his main artist, I had absolutely no idea just HOW much multitasking goes into streaming and how mentally exhausting having to keep all of that up for hours at a time can be. And I don’t think people in a twitch chat quite know how huge of a mental load that is either. As someone who experiences brainfog and now knows this, I inwardly cringed every single time a rule came up that relied entirely on your working memory AND muscle memory not making any mistakes, which imo is just unfair and isn’t fun to watch. I just ended up feeling bad for you. I mean, at that point that rule is punishing you for… doing your job and interacting with your chat rather than for spamming moves like protect, torch song or flower trick to game the system. If the chat really wanted to prevent you from spamming set up moves like that then the rule should have been you can’t use the same move 3 times in a row or you can’t use a set up move twice in a row. That means you’re actually getting punished for a more conscious choice rather than random button mashing and it seems more fair and less frustrating.
the fact that the rules (as of starting the run) required 2 minutes of explanation has me hooked already. gave the video a like just off of that, and i'm sure this will be good edit: after watching a good chunk of this video, i think i agree w/ chat on the mareanie decision. it does fully feel like a 50/50 split on what color it is, which would make it NOT primarily purple. and toxapex hands down is mostly blue imo. also, good choice to not go based on dex color classifications cause some of the pokemon they list as certain colors genuinely make no sense. for example, shellos and gastrodon (f) as well as bounsweet steenee and tsareena are all purple pokemon. steenee and tsareena are pink at best since imo they're primarily green, gastrodon is clearly pink and brown, and shellos and bounsweet are inarguably just pink.
4:23 I named my Koraidon Toothless becuase I realized that as soon as I saw it on the beach. Like Toothless, Koraidon fell from the sky and was saved by a kid. It’s crazy. Seriously, Koraidon, Toothless, and the Red Bluster from the Sea Beast are all amazing and so similar.
26:00 at least i went out trying my damnedest [a shame I wasn't in the stream at the time though 😔] My birdly spirit helped the team win ig. maybe. not really but damnit I tried.
I think the reason you were happy about the absent Poison Jab with Clavell is the same reason you were upset with missing Recover with Eri. The attack was ordered on a pokemon that is no longer there which I guess includes attacks performed on yourself during that specific round. You would think the attack order would rollover with the incoming pokemon but fainting leaves an empty slot and will eat up any remaining moves ordered on said fainted pokemon's slot. Like in some pkmn games it comes in the form of missing the attack (the attack missed!) or failing the attempt (But it failed!), the target is gone thus your move is as well. It could be because both scenarios were followed with cutscenes that the information about the nullification order never made it to you. Also in both scenarios the opposing pokemon fainted because of secondary effects from the rocky helmet, which can mess with the attack order (in unpolished games).I think attack order is different for each game due to the specific coding of encounter methods that vary from title to title like hordes from X&Y and chains from S&M/USUM and this generation's unique methods. I could be very wrong though (: Or its probably that and because the game runs like a n64 port and couldn't communicate an attack order bc cutscenes make the Switch sweat. tbh letting you keep poison jab kinda balances with eating your recover lol Great video btw, super creative and interesting with the dynamic rule system. thank you!
Commenting for exposure, such crazy rules and I can't wait to see how it plays out! Hope the Pokemon related stuff will get as popular as the Pikmin stuff eventually
This was honestly so cool, it makes me want to attempt a similar challenge, not with nearly as many rules since Im not a masochist, but something similar, and the surviving squad was pretty cool too, always a bonus in a nuzlocke to me
This challenge seems brutal and I love it. Inspires me to try and make not a difficult challenge but an interesting one! Only thing that threw me off about this was the purple rule. WHAT DID PURPLE DO TO YOU ARE YOU OK?!?!?
I didn’t know when I got a membership until I checked my gmail and saw that it was from the 8th part of the most ridiculous challenge. I’m still on the first part but can’t wait to see who gifted it!
As the biggest Mareanie nerd IT'S MOSTLY BLUE EVERYONE WHO SAYS THEY'RE PURPLE IS WRONG I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR EXCUSES. IT. IS. BLUE. With all that said tho great video lol! It was a blast seeing you barely get through this game, love seeing people give Mareanie the attention it deserves as prolly my favorite non starter water type hehe.
@1:13:10 if you want a harder version of her gym trial, you can come back and do it again after the fact. (This applies to a few of the other gym trials as well and they each have unique rewards). (´-‿-`；) If you do so, I imagine you will see what it was meant to be.
I say blue because the "hair" is thicker and I'd argue it's not even hair the move as arms you wouldn't say malimar's arms are hair just because they come out the head therefore it's blue
I hate Barboach in these games. Took me over 4 hours to find a single one. So I caught it, evolved it and had it fight Ditto as an easy way to grind the Barboach materials.
According to Pokedex 3D Pro, which has the official pronunciations for everything up through gen 5, the way you pronounce Mismagius is correct. I don't agree, but it is canon :']
Technically no since according to our clauses if it’s mandated then we’re good to complete them, but for the sake of grinding exp or materials/dealing with the hordes of wild Pokémon easier we never used it :)
As much as I see you were clearly frustrated in the heat of the moment, I regret to inform you that what you were showing @8:00 are in fact, _not cutscenes._ Those are nothing but Overworld interactions. *_Cutscenes_* are fully animated scenes that the game _'cuts' away to,_ in order to show a dramatic story moment. Think of the ending scene of each Route (Team star's final gathering, defeating Nemona in her climactic battle, and everything else like that)ー _Those_ are what I imagine the game is referring game is referring to, as it takes from the _actual_ definition of the word: "Cutscene." (õ∀ó )ゝ
*EDIT* I am inferring from fidough and play rough that he reacquired T Spikes via TM. I didn't realize that was an option. Wait... at 1:24:40 ish you lost T Spikes to the torment rule. Yet you still had and used it at 1hour 30min during the Penny fight. What happened?
7:57 As much as I love Scarlet/ Violet OVER ALL, taking all good points- rather, points I absolutely love & adore about it, I REALLY hate and it pains me to *AGREE* about the early game school segment. I hate it myself. It is indeed too long, boring and a snooze fest section… *But I guess there is a good reason* behind it, with 3 characters needing story reasons and opportunities to give you their set of quests to make up a large portion of the main game.. But still 😴 12:45 Put up on the chopping block… Goes the Pig- naturally. Natural selection at work there 😂 I caught Lechonk in my first & completely blind run- hadn’t looked up or found anything out early/ prior to. But not a Pokémon of any interest.. It’s like Gen five’s Tepig (and Snivy & Oshuwatt too), I just turn my nose up to the creature. Spoink however, is a cool pig! Though I only ever used it once ever… But so many others that catch my attention more.. 13:00 Purple.. Maybe black… Maybe it’s black but that pink makes the eye of some of us think, the body is purple, a really DARK purple… Cause it looks a dark purple to me. I watched a UA-camr video, doing a Pokémon Violet challenge of NO Grinding Fewest Battles (possible) video. Anyhow, I have been trying it… Using a female Fuecoco, a Pokémon of the ‘Field egg group’ that Fuecoco & Lechonk are in to fill the other four party slots with Fuecoco’s for a full team and no extra 4 encounters lol. And that grass gym with Sudowoodo doing massive damage with rock throw plus sturdy making it impossible to 1 hit ko… What a nightmare! A grass gym but… Sudowoodo under some circumstances is still a pain… 29:09 Well, saying a Pokémon can’t be used do to a color is just racist nonsense to me… The world is too racist as is… Why bring something of the nature into a play through? So, in short… I don’t care if it has purple or no or if you want to argue it- its color is nothing but color and it’s fine. Honestly though, when you said earlier in the video “I put emphasis behind the word primarily” I thought that was a hint at the fact that you were going to encounter a SHINY Pokémon version of a mon who is “primarily” purple but because it’s a shiny Pokémon, it isn’t anymore. As shinies are usually a different color than the regular version… Though Pokemon like the fighting type Taurus, who has for a shiny form, just a darker shade of black… So if it didn’t sparkle upon appearance you wouldn’t know it was a shiny…. 32:00 Constantly under the ‘torment’ rule? So, basically no set up moves, as they are typically needed to be used 2 or more times in a row… Oof. That was a harsh rule from your chat imo. 1:14:00 … Same old story of confusing it for a game made with adults in mind like Black Ops lol 😆 1:49:49 successfully finished, nice.
Hating Kofu simply because he is ugly but liking Larry is hpw you prove you are just a simp... And I mean the original version... as in simple... basic... White bread
After seeing all that Scarlet and Violet has to offer, I really only have one takeaway. That the Pokemon team isn't running out of ideas and have plenty of passion. But simply need much more time to actually put out a finished product. I think if the game was allowed to have another year or 2 in development, it could've turned out much better. Here's to hoping that one day, Pokemon isn't treated like a cash cow, and is allowed to receive the time it needs to truly be great again.
Once financial profit isn't a thing, I could see it.
I agree. I can tell how it was rushed due to the glitches and bugs this game is littered with. Plus a smaller thing I noticed is that the newer shines aren't the best either(some are great but I wish they would have put more into tinkatink line and ceruledge). Like even in sheild, the new pokemon shines had more variety it seamed. I dunno, I didn't feel like they had time to do anything else other than making sure the players walked on solid ground most of the time. I know that it sold well but I hope the dlc doesn't sell as well as the games did and learn that it was mostly because it was a rushed game. If I known it was rush, I wouldn't have bought it or saved it for when it got fixed.
The no fun way to play
To sum it up,
Pokémon isnt that bad.
The thing is, they have the ability to improve with sheer numbers. They intentionally keep the team working on pokemon the size of a large indie dev. When the company finally hired new people and doubled the dev teams size, they promptly put all the new people on pokemon and moved all the old ones onto a new project. They have the money to upsize but upsizing means less profits to share around so they just won't do it.
The purple rule was rule 21, the mareanie was lv 21
Coïncidence ? I THINK NOT
For the record. Male Oinks are classified as black according to the pokedex, while females are classified as brown. I've done pallete-lockes, IE only one color and went solely by dex color, which gives some interesting takes
I almost got worry because this channel was very quiet for the last two weeky but this video was reall, worth it. It's definitely a major step up quality wise and I really hope for the success of this video.
To answer your question about how to pronounce Mismagius, some Pokémon names are split between the community over how to pronounce, like how with Rayquaza most people say “Ray-qwa-zuh” but because it’s name is based of “Quasar” correct pronunciation is “Ray-qway-zuh”.
Anyways Mismagius personally I pronounce “Mis-Mage-ee-uhs” because it looks like a mage with the big hat
Magus
I pronounce it: stupid stupid meanie asshole Pokémon who keeps killing all my mons in playthroughs
I've always heard it as Miss-Magi-us, with Magi as it is said in Magic
Real talk, the pronunciation "Ray-qwah-zuh" frustrates me more than I think it should. It sounds so bad, and is clearly wrong, at least to me.
Personally glad the Eelektross survived to the end, though whoever came up with the Super Effective Rule should lose chat perms for a month
It was a wild ride being around for this! Shoutout to Phoebe the Spoink. 😊
This challenge was awesome! Great editing of the video, made me check out your older Pokémon runs and they were just as high quality! Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Awesome vid Heff. This seemed like such a slog at times but your ability to persevere was incredibly impressive
wasn't able to catch the last 2 or 3 streams because it was the end of the semester, so i can't wait to see how the challenge ended. it was an honor to live and die as your forced lechonk encounter
Piggy gang never dies. Chirumblo the Lechonk and Phoebe the Spoink live on! 🐖
This is a perfect example of too many restrictions. You've diluted down thr challenge to such a degree that almost all autonomy is out of it.

@@ThePlayer4our idk I thought the "do push-ups in order to feed exp candies to mons" rule was pretty good
(i made it)
@@cooldakota9695 feel proud, it was a pretty funny rule.
I don't entirely disagree, but sometimes there is a comedy in watching someone suffer through a challenge for the sake of it
This is my first video to see of yours, and I do agree with some comments.

It's random. If you ask them again they just pick another random move
Great video as always Heff. Though it's a shame I died in my first battle, at least Toedscruel can rest in peace knowing you prevailed in the end.
Pure hatred to the guy who thought disabling super effective attacks was a good move
Just finished watching! I just want to say this is one of my favorite videos you've ever made, great job heff

I love the school section of S/V. I don’t feel pokemon is ready for voices
Amazingly made video!! Really enjoyed it. You’ve outdone yourself!
Your videos have such great Production value. im shocked youre so small a creator. heres hoping to 50k subs by the end of 2023
It is always a good day when Heff uploads a new video
As the biggest Mareanie nerd IT'S MOSTLY BLUE EVERYONE WHO SAYS THEY'RE PURPLE IS WRONG I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR EXCUSES. IT. IS. BLUE. With all that said tho great video lol! It was a blast seeing you barely get through this game, love seeing people give Mareanie the attention it deserves as prolly my favorite non starter water type hehe.
@1:13:10 if you want a harder version of her gym trial, you can come back and do it again after the fact. (This applies to a few of the other gym trials as well and they each have unique rewards). (´-‿-`；)
If you do so, I imagine you will see what it was meant to be.
This channel is so underrated
Man that Zenbutt flinch was hella clutch 😭😭
Rule 38 really had my mans playing with fire
I say blue because the "hair" is thicker and I'd argue it's not even hair the move as arms you wouldn't say malimar's arms are hair just because they come out the head therefore it's blue
27:52 "lets take a deep dive into rule ~~34~~ i mean 25"
I hope you do more like this I really enjoyed it
I hate Barboach in these games. Took me over 4 hours to find a single one. So I caught it, evolved it and had it fight Ditto as an easy way to grind the Barboach materials.
That's actually clever. I didn't know it would work like that though
Now this is gaming.
What the game counts as cutscenes is the "pre-rendered" sequences with the automatic text. That's why you can't skip the tutorials 😅
1:34:02 yeah I lost my first time too, I didn’t expect for there to be a big level jump like that
love the stick figure, my kind of art
Gimmighoul…
Gimmighoul everywhere
According to Pokedex 3D Pro, which has the official pronunciations for everything up through gen 5, the way you pronounce Mismagius is correct. I don't agree, but it is canon :']
The starter foreshadowed
Heff really does live to suffer
This video has so much effort for how little views it has, absolutely criminal
I don't typically suffer from thalassophobia but something about dondozo emerging from the depths freaks me the fuck out
Great vid this was super interesting 👍
LOVE THIS! I'm not brave enough to do it tho...
team star cutscene interrupting recover was so whack to see live
this video was an amazing watch 👍
Well we’ll we’ll, what do we have here
Why was Naclstack with the dogs😂
4:12 why is nastack (whatever its name is) there?
I've watched this video at least 3 times. Starting my 4th now!
Gotta love that rule 34 is the pp rule😂
Dude wtf, I absolutely did NOT get all of those rules, but I'm not rewinding so we'll see what happens on the road!
Woooo!!!
Also 40:16
WOW can’t wait to watch the stream…
Alternative title: Extream nuzlock, but it brcome easier every attempt cause chat pity me
RESPECT i like this rule set
Doesn't no autobattling also technically mean you cannot do the Team Star storyline?
Technically no since according to our clauses if it’s mandated then we’re good to complete them, but for the sake of grinding exp or materials/dealing with the hordes of wild Pokémon easier we never used it :)
I enjoyed my time as a nacli
Purple pokemon is changed to red and you instantly lose
As much as I see you were clearly frustrated in the heat of the moment, I regret to inform you that what you were showing @8:00 are in fact, _not cutscenes._ Those are nothing but Overworld interactions. *_Cutscenes_* are fully animated scenes that the game _'cuts' away to,_ in order to show a dramatic story moment. Think of the ending scene of each Route (Team star's final gathering, defeating Nemona in her climactic battle, and everything else like that)ー
_Those_ are what I imagine the game is referring game is referring to, as it takes from the _actual_ definition of the word: "Cutscene." (õ∀ó )ゝ
the pushups kill me
4:10 bro why is naclstack with the freaking dog pokemon? that's a pile of salt. you really think a pile of salt is a DOG??
THANK YOU SOMEONE FINALLY SAW THIS
@@realHeff lmfao
this sounds genullay hard I would not attemp this
You have a rule to fight every trainer, but you didn't fight the two in the bug gym challenge?
I love different playthroughs, I washed the game with Quaxly of course, but kitty made the game alot more fun. I do basic nuzlocke though
Sucker Funch my favorite move
*EDIT* I am inferring from fidough and play rough that he reacquired T Spikes via TM. I didn't realize that was an option.
Wait... at 1:24:40 ish you lost T Spikes to the torment rule. Yet you still had and used it at 1hour 30min during the Penny fight. What happened?
Assuming he re-taught it with a TM since that's available
Dude you wayyy over play how bad the dialogue in this game is
It's genuinely not that bad, no worse than any other pokemon game at least
I was hoping rule 34 would make you have to use gardevoir or loppuny if you see one
Whats the significance of the purple rule? Is it because of purple pikmin?
We are playing Pokémon Scarlet, not Violet :)
Zngoose my beloved
Yeah the music in the game is pretty great but oh my god the gym battle theme is so dumb it made sense in sword and shield but now it just sounds dumb
This'll be fun
14:40 That's not the right rule. Love the video tho
i say mihs-mah-jee-yus
so the same as you but with a soft g
INSANE that you edited & scripted almost two hours of video. Hugely enjoyable watch.
7:57 As much as I love Scarlet/ Violet OVER ALL, taking all good points- rather, points I absolutely love & adore about it,
I REALLY hate and it pains me to *AGREE* about the early game school segment. I hate it myself. It is indeed too long, boring and a snooze fest section…
*But I guess there is a good reason* behind it, with 3 characters needing story reasons and opportunities to give you their set of quests to make up a large portion of the main game.. But still 😴
12:45 Put up on the chopping block… Goes the Pig- naturally. Natural selection at work there 😂
I caught Lechonk in my first & completely blind run- hadn’t looked up or found anything out early/ prior to. But not a Pokémon of any interest.. It’s like Gen five’s Tepig (and Snivy & Oshuwatt too), I just turn my nose up to the creature.
Spoink however, is a cool pig! Though I only ever used it once ever… But so many others that catch my attention more..
13:00 Purple.. Maybe black… Maybe it’s black but that pink makes the eye of some of us think, the body is purple, a really DARK purple… Cause it looks a dark purple to me.
I watched a UA-camr video, doing a Pokémon Violet challenge of NO Grinding Fewest Battles (possible) video.
Anyhow, I have been trying it… Using a female Fuecoco, a Pokémon of the ‘Field egg group’ that Fuecoco & Lechonk are in to fill the other four party slots with Fuecoco’s for a full team and no extra 4 encounters lol.
And that grass gym with Sudowoodo doing massive damage with rock throw plus sturdy making it impossible to 1 hit ko… What a nightmare! A grass gym but… Sudowoodo under some circumstances is still a pain…
29:09 Well, saying a Pokémon can’t be used do to a color is just racist nonsense to me… The world is too racist as is… Why bring something of the nature into a play through? So, in short… I don’t care if it has purple or no or if you want to argue it- its color is nothing but color and it’s fine.
Honestly though, when you said earlier in the video “I put emphasis behind the word primarily” I thought that was a hint at the fact that you were going to encounter a SHINY Pokémon version of a mon who is “primarily” purple but because it’s a shiny Pokémon, it isn’t anymore. As shinies are usually a different color than the regular version… Though Pokemon like the fighting type Taurus, who has for a shiny form, just a darker shade of black… So if it didn’t sparkle upon appearance you wouldn’t know it was a shiny….
32:00 Constantly under the ‘torment’ rule? So, basically no set up moves, as they are typically needed to be used 2 or more times in a row… Oof. That was a harsh rule from your chat imo.
1:14:00 … Same old story of confusing it for a game made with adults in mind like Black Ops lol 😆
1:49:49 successfully finished, nice.
It's Mismagius
Asumming heff is not your real name, how did you come up with it?
You can tell by his commentary he isn’t the biggest fan of this game
Hating Kofu simply because he is ugly but liking Larry is hpw you prove you are just a simp... And I mean the original version... as in simple... basic... White bread
I feel so sorry for you
Harry-yama, laso heff is gonna turn into gigachad if that push up rule stays around for long
46:05 Rule thirty WHAT⁉️⁉️🤫
It’s meh-la not mee-la
Bro Really Took A Minute And 36 Seconds To Explain The Rules 💀
If you need to press A to progress the dialogue, you're not in a cutscene.
That is the standard.
