      That's kind of besides the point. Why did they *remove* a move from its starting pool? Especially when it can be found in Yellow at a level *lower* than 24, so it'd only know Constrict. Who the heck would use a thing they just got in the Safari Zone that ONLY knows Constrict?

  • @shanoc5902
    @shanoc5902 3 роки тому +27

    I'm not sure if it'll help, but when it comes to the rival's Eeveelution it's important to remember that the game assumes your starter is Pikachu. If you do badly (lose the first fight) it makes the Eeveelution be weak to Pikachu (thus Vaporeon) because you're 'bad', if you win the first fight and the optional fight then clearly you're 'good' so it makes it hard by giving an Eeveelution that resists you (thus Jolteon), and if you skip the 2nd fight then it gives one that's neutral to you (thus Flareon) as while you're not bad you don't explore a lot/couldn't win the second fight. Or think of it as Buttz wanting to style on you by beating your starter with a starter as vulnerable to yours as he thinks he can get away with.
    That said, you are right that Vaporeon was the better choice here, Jolteon/Magniton won't have been a big difference here since your grass typing would neuter Jolteon, as you pointed out Ninetails had the better moveset to trap you plus came out early enough that you couldn't mimic a water move to trivialize it while Flareon wouldn't have firespin and would come after Cloyster, and while Vaporeon had the special stat needed to withstand your growth'd mega-drain Cloyster wouldn't have making it so that while it wasn't as much of a threat as Flareon would have been, the Flareon+Cloyster Combo would have been easy to handle while the Vaporeon+Ninetails combo not only gave you a lot of trouble but both of them had a chance to give you a hard time.
    This video was a lot of fun though! Sad that Brock was such a pain but it was fun seeing all the decisions being made. Originally I had been certain that Sleep Powder would be neccessary but once you had gotten Growth (which I didn't see originally) it had become clear that Sleep Powder just wasn't consistently viable. Seeing the pros and cons of Mega Drain vs Solarbeam not only considered but also on display in the video was also very nice! Very fun video even despite the difficulties that movepool brought you!

    Anything under 3 hours for a pokemon as ill fated in its debut generation as Tangela is impressive to me.

Meanwhile its spaghetti hair vines exude its Sleep, Paralysis, and Poison inducing powders from its core (the face/head).

  • @katherine9447
    @katherine9447 Рік тому

    As a kid, I had a tangela on my team when battling my friends. We had terribly optimized Pokemon and the general mentality was "I don't need to have coverage across multiple Pokemon since I already have a Charizard on my team for grass pokemon" so Tangela was an absolute monster against my friends if I had already defeated their Pokemon with fire and ice moves. Growth was so good and I would just set up and destroy their Alakazams and Mewtwos. Didn't use swords dance but body slam was good enough without it being boosted (which I guess it was being boosted but we didn't know about the badge boost glitch). Eventually, I discovered how amazing Parasect was with spore but by that point, we also started to understand that we needed more coverage per Pokemon and that originally overlooked Pokemons were really good with TM movesets.
    Still, I have a soft spot for the silly spaghetti monster. Thank you for the entertainment. Your videos always brings up some forgotten childhood memories.

    • @thesacredlobo
      @thesacredlobo 3 роки тому

      Jeez, I've done two mono flying runs in Generation II and I've avoided Noctowl both times. As for why, it's because Noctowl really doesn't have a great move pool to play with. And it's stats only make it's options seem worse.
      Noctowl (Base Stats)
      HP: 100
      ATK: 50
      DEF: 50
      Sp. Atk: 76
      Sp. Def: 96
      Speed: 70
      Moves by Level Up
      Tackle
      Growl
      Foresight
      Peck
      Hypnosis
      Reflect
      Take Down
      Confusion
      Dream Eater
      To make matters worse Noctowl doesn't even learn confusion until level 41. I suppose Scott could make things a little less painful if he starts with a HootHoot so he can learn confusion at level 34, but he'll still need to get through most of Johto with physical moves on a Pokemon with a lower attack stat than *Tangela's* and no way to even boost that attack stat without using items.
      And TMs really don't offer you any form of salvation either since the only special moves Noctowl can learn though them are Thief and Dream Eater. Though, I suppose Scott could make use of hidden power to give himself a useful type coverage by selecting a Noctowl with a specific IV value.

    You are one of my favourite UA-camrs. I always look forward to your videos. Pokemon Yellow was the first Pokemon game that I played. I had a funny memory.
    I was terrible at strategy at that time and could never get past Brock. I thought that something was wrong with my game and rented a copy from the video library and won with someone else's team against Brock I think.
    At the time, I felt justified about it being the game, but however long it took me to realise that it was me playing badly, I finally learnt and got better.
    Another funny memory is that in Yellow, I used a masterball on Fearow right before going inside to face the Elite 4 as I don't think that I had seen a Fearow or at least remembered that I had seen one. I don't know if I had known about legendaries.

      OMG Renting copies of Pokemon games. I was just thinking about telling a couple stories about that in an upcoming video. What a time.
      I also felt my game was broken when I couldn't get through Mt. Moon. I was so frustrated I didn't eat dinner or breakfast. Around noon I finally got through and then I ate a giant celebratory meal.

    Tangela isn't my favorite pokemon, but I've always been rather fond of it for several reasons. First and foremost, it's location in the wild is the patch of grass on Route 21. Oh the anticipation of finding out what pokemon were hidden in that inaccessible little corner of Kanto! Second, for whatever reason, tangela is one of a small number of pokemon that can choose to flee from battle. I'm not sure why it shares this trait with legendary monsters, but it continues to intrigue me to this day. A tertiary consideration for me, both as a youngster and an adult, is that tangela was given the boon of pure-typing, in a generation lousy with flying and poison dual-types.

    Tangela has always been one of my favourites, I really appreciate all the fun and weird designs in Pokémon, especially my little spaghetti friend! I always thought Tangela would've been a Grass/Dark type if it was introduced in generation 2 instead, maybe that would've helped it more than being pure Grass does?
