Another option for not using Double Team would be to level up until level 21 and replace Double Team with Calm Mind, so that you can deplete your PP without having to use Double Team. I think an exception to the rules here is fine, for the record, I'm just pointing out an alternative that was missed.
I personally make some scumbag decisions like sand attack or double team on Roxanne and ESPECIALLY wattson Wattson is BRUTAL in ruby sapphire because steel types are so amazingly balanced
@@nautgamingnautgaming9949 I like the changes that the Fangame made to type balancing. Took some adjusting, but my two favorite of those choices were making Water weak to Poison, and Steel weak to Psychic. Both just make so much sense to me.
@@Clawdragoons which fangame would that be??? AND I have NO IDEA why poison isn't strong vs water That's an amazing point actually Psychic shouldn't be strong or weak to steel I think it's neutral THE THING that pisses me off is WHY IS BUG so bad against fairy when it CLEARLY should hit fairy types super effective in addition to resisting fairy n dark types It would also kinda nerf bug steel type with these changes because it would ALLOW other bugs to be viable In addition grass types should RESIST fairy
Congrats Scott and wife!!! I hope you two enjoy decades and decades and decades of happiness, and find all the fulfilment you two deserve!!!! Thank you so much for the videos and such, and enjoy!!!
I had a Female Gardevoir named Aurora when I played through Emerald a few years back and she quickly became my favorite Pokémon. She carried me through the game to the point where she was actually out leveling my Starter because of how often I used her. She even carried me through the Battle Frontier and completely swept Brandon and his team of Regis. My other two Pokémon were fainted and she landed Hypnosis and I was able to set up Calm Mind, put his Pokémon to sleep again, and then I swept him with Psychic and Thunderbolt. And since that day I would put a Gardevoir on my team in every game I can get her in and she has always carried her weight.
Was my Psychic type of choice in Generation 3 until I realised how painful I find the Slow growth rate - I prefer Grumpig these days but Gardevoir will always be the first Hoenn psychic type that comes to mind.
A grumpig vs gardevoir video would be awesome. Grumpig to me is like the Hypno equivalent for Hoenn, so a comparison between those two would be really fun
An interesting tactic you could use against Tate & Liza is Imprison alongside Psychic and Calm Mind. I’ll delineate. Imprison prevents the opponents from using any moves that the user knows as long as the user is still on the field. All of their Pokémon know Psychic, and two of them know Calm Mind. From there, you could use Imprison turn 1 to prevent any Calm Mind setups or Xatu and Lunatone from attacking outright. Things would be even better if you started with the Trace ability, as it could trace Claydol’s Levitate and make you immune to EQ. Trace would also eliminate the need for the Persim Berry at Norman since you’d copy Own Tempo from Spinda. Perhaps most importantly, it would copy Intimidate from all those Mightyenas, which would aid in setting up against Sidney. On another note, congrats on the wife, m8!
Congratulations on the wedding! Gardevoir is one of my favourite Pokemon so I'm happy to see it do so well. One thing that might make your Emerald Psychic runs slightly smoother in the future is that you can get the Thief TM without having to clear out the museum, which allows you to avoid defeating the Carvanha Aqua Grunt with Swagger or Struggle. It only saves 1 Dark type Strugglefest but it's something!
Congrats on getting married! I think it would make sense to only ban evasion moves on trainer battles. Unless I'm missing something, there's not really any benefit to using them against wild mons outside of draining PP and it feels a lot more in the spirit of the challenge to let Gardevoir spam out 15 Double Team PP than leveling all the way up to 21 to replace it with Calm Mind.
I cannot express just how happy I am to hear about you, and your now wife having taken the next step - been watching the channel for ages now, and I'm so proud of the growth you've had to date thus far-- here's to many, many happy years for you both!
Congratulations Scott! You and your wife evolved like the Nidoking and Nidoqueen evolutionary line: boyfriend>fiancé>husband and vise versa for your wife. With the final evolution coming from a stone (on an engagement ring)!
Wife who loves and supports you in the things you do, earned musical talent, a job where you play Pokemon for as long as you want and hang out with other people who like it too, a demonstrated ability to manage your ADHD and produce content that requires focus and diligence... and several cats besides. Ten-year-old Scott must be so proud of you, and so are Tangela and I.
I know the bag trick is tough at 4x speed, but i think you held down the run button to try getting by him, and running will always make a trainer look at you even at 1x speed. just a thought, amazing vid as always!
Congratulations on your marriage! I wish you both a happy Life together! Gardevoir making up that time loss from dark types and the shockwave fail plus the slow growth rate shows how good psychic types are in gen 3. I always used one in my frontier brain team in gen 3!
Using Substitute to setup CM along with Psychic and Thunderbolt would have been interesting. I think the added utility of preventing status moves like confuse ray and sand-attack would have been more valuable over the added coverage of HP Dark.
Congratulations Scott! When I saw the alert I laughed a little because I couldn't believe I didn't think of Gardevoir when you mentioned that your wedding day would have a special run. Very excited that your fiancee is evolving into your wife and I wish you both so much happiness together!
Wobbuffet fact: If 2 Wobbuffet meet they start an endurance challange to see who can endure more. Trainers should be carefull because on some of those Challanges they dont eat . Some rumors say there are Wobbuffets who endured each other soo long they got married. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING >w
I know I'm a bit late, but confreakinggrats dude. I've been loving your channel these past few years and it's been a pleasure to watch you grow and improve, and I cannot wait to hear all the wedding stories
Only 18 seconds in, but here's my contribution for the algorithm : CONGRATS FOR THE WEDDING!🎉 I wish you two infinite happiness ❤ What a journey you two are living, and I feel like we've all been with you since you started this channel. Like we say here in France : VIVE LES MARIÉS 🍾
Found this channel not too long ago and been binging a lot while thinking "oh this guy talks a lot about his fiancee in old videos, i wonder if they are already married currently". Seems that now you are, congratulations! Wishing the best for you both
Congratulations on evolving your fiance into your wife ❤ first time commenting as i usually dont, but youve brought me much joy, and entertainment over these past three years since your very first video entered my recommended feed, and ive watched them all on release aside from the original grimer video (will eventually sit through it!) Heres to many years of happy marriage life, and many more years to your success on this platform. Hope you have a lovely honeymoon!
I started watching your videos when I met my current fianceé, and it just so happens that we're getting married this weekend too! I've been so happy to see your progression over the years, and I love that you're still just as excited about playing these games as you were back then. Can't wait to see what the future will bring!
Thanks for all the amazing videos man, I've been using these to help me get to sleep for months now and its really helped me get around my insomnia you have such a soothing voice! About to go to sleep to this one now but just wanted to say congratulations on the wedding, wishing you a happy honeymoon and rest of ur life
No offense, been here since the very first few videos: I never actually thought that Scott had a girlfriend. I thought it was an elaborate joke, like the Venonat typing joke. Congratulations with your marriage, Scott!
Missed the premier for travel but congratulations Scott!!! I have loved watching your relationship grow alongside you as a content creator! Thanks for the hours upon hours of great content!
Congratulations! Seeing you grow from a fan of the series making videos when he could to setting a high standard for not only Pokemon content, but UA-cam content has been a privilege to witness. To your marriage and continued growth and success!
Man, I just realized, I think I've been watching you since the start. I remember you only had like three or so videos out when I first saw you. Damn time flies (Time used Fly, its super effective)
Congratulations on the marriage I also noticed you got far better performance wise over the years at Pokémon You will honestly surpass my skill at gen 3 in a year at this rate because I am pretty capped skillwise but you have much more potential than i ever had
Congrats on the wedding and marriage!! As someone else mentioned, I think HP Ice would have solved the Sidney problem much better than Shock Wave. It makes the Tate & Liza fight a bit harder, but HP Ice still hits Claydol super effectively and Thunderbolt would likely still do enough damage to Solrock/Lunatone, and Psychic does only 5 less damage (90 x 1.5 = 135) damage to Phoebe than HP dark (70 x 2 = 140) does. Also, big fan of your Glalie = Ice/Dark type theory
Congratulations for your achievement! Enjoy the marry ride! The rule exception was fine, even if I did like more the fake out finish. Kind of hard to say how I would approach the challenge differently because all my "other options" like Shadow Ball and HP Fighting hit the bump called Gardevoir's Attack. At least HP would be more flexible if Calm Mind + Thief would be consistent enough against Tate and Liza (which I doubt).
Congratulations on getting married! As long as you two talk though the hard times and try to understand each other's perspective, you'll do great! Been married for 7+ years and that advice kept us together.
Mega congratulations, Scott! That art of you and your wife is so cute! I always thought paired trainers were really cool, now that you are one you should do a romhack that turns everything into double battles!
Man, today is a joyous day. Congrats on the big day. Having been privy to when your girlfriend became your fiancée via your videos as well, I can't help but feel proud and happy over your growth as a content creator and as a person. May you be happy alongside your now wife.
Congrats man! Also your right, Glalie should have been dark type, actually come to think of it… the same argument could be made for Golbat and Crobat, Arbok, and various others… Just like how marowak shouldn’t have needed a regional variant to be the ghost type it was always meant to be
Congratulations Scott, I wish you both a journey together as grand as Ash and Pikachu. Now cringe reference aside I think a cool vs run would be Gardevoir vs Hariyama, the special attacker vs the bulky physical attacker.
I felt like the Swagger strat went underappreciated… that was pretty big brain! When I did my Psychic only run in Emerald I spammed out all my PP again
I can't imagine how better it would be if Fairy existed in Gen 3. Fun fact in Gen 6-8, one of its starting moves is Moonblast. Good Video. Gardevoir has always been my fav Psychic type and one my fav Fairy Types. Also congrats.
Congrats on the marriage, Scott! I’m happy for you and hope things go well for you and your wife! Regarding Gardevoir, I thought that Hidden Power Ice would’ve been a better decision rather than Dark. Sure, Tate & Liza would’ve been more difficult, but having super effective damage for Sidney’s Grass types (and maybe Drake) would be massive. On a more minor note, I think Trace would’ve been a better ability than Synchronize. No mandatory trainer leads with Slakoth or Slaking, so you won’t be burdened with Truant ever. In turn, there are some useful instances of tracing, like Spinda’s Own Tempo preventing Teeter Dance or Intimidate in general, as well as Sealeo’s Thick Fat. With that said, you put in a good first solo with Gardevoir and I’m excited to see you keep improving at Emerald!
Normally I don't comment on these videos because I leave them playing as background noise while I'm doing other things or falling asleep, but I wanted to say congrats on your marriage! Your talk of your partner has always made me smile with how cute it's been, and your wedding date also happens to be on my birthday! So it just felt right to say something this time around.
I can't get over the fact Scott missed the path behind the house in route 114 😂. Again and again that blind spot shows up. It's amazing how someone with such dedication and passion for the games keeps missing obvious stuff. I love the runs, but i live for these moments 😂.
Congrats Scott! I hope you had a great wedding. As for the versus idea. I think Slaking would be a good option. Both the Slaking line and the Gardevoir line are available early but require some investment to get going. They also have completely different styles of play so it would be interesting to see how they play next to each other.
If you ever decide to allow Egg moves, your best bet is definitely gonna be Will-o-Wisp (personally, I don't consider TM moves to also be "Egg" moves despite them being passed on during the breeding process). It'll still be a bit on the slow side, but at least it'll provide reliable damage to early Dark-types and keep you from needing to Struggle-spam. Anyway, can't wait for the re-run!
Congrats scott! Prediction: Gardevoir despite being one of my favorites isn't going to be that amazing until it gains a fairy type in the future... but i can still hope!
First of all, Congratulations to the lucky couple!!!!!🎉 may you both share a wonderful, happy and healthy lifetime together ❤🎉❤ It's kinda hard to assign an easy counterpart to Gardevoir for the vs. because, as you said, it was a soft reboot generation. See, If alakazam and Gardevoir are equivalent, and Alakazam's counterpart was Gengar(?), it wouldn't really be a fair fight to pin Garde against, say, Clops or banette. The closest I can imagine would be like, Medicham or Hariyama? But those two are kind of their own counterparts for many. I propose, ergo, that your gen3 race should be Gardevoir vs. Alakazam, as the two have the Closest relation in common.
Scott - wishing you and your wife all the best for your special day and for all the days to come!! Your content has provided so many hours of enjoyment in our household. At this point, my own wife will hear a Pokèmon video in the background and go, "say hi to Scott!" So congrats from both of us and don't forget to relax and enjoy life in between all the content!
Congratulations! So much happiness on your way through life together. I dont know whos mor lucky you or her as youre an awesome guy! Keep it on like that!
Scott, I have been watching since late 2020, got engaged atound the same time as you, and now it turns out our weddings were 1 week apart! Congratulations man! Hope you thought it was as amazing as I think mine was!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon it is cool! And right back at you about the fairy tale, mine was better than I could have imagined. Even our wedding vendors were commenting on what a party it was! Looking forward to future content, stay awesome.
Congratulations on achieving the third evolution! It can be slow and frustrating but wife type pokemon are amazingly strong. There doesn't seems to be an obvious choice of a 3rd generation pairing for Gardevoir. It's not pair of a game exclusive pair, and there are no early game ghost or dark pokemon with 3 stage evolutions. However, I have a more radical suggestion: An Alakazam vs video. Gardevoir was intended to be a version of Alakazam so it would be interesting see how they match up. You can get Abras before the second gym, so I could consider them to be a fairly early game pokemon as well.
I often pair up a Gardevoir with either a Breloom, Hariyama or Blaziken as the core members of my team in most Gen 3 runs. Basically anything one can't handle the other one most assuredly can.
I've been catching up with all of your old videos, it has been fun to see your relationship evolve from Girlfriend into Fiancee and now finally reach the final evolution! Congrats on your wedding!
Congratulations on your wedding Scott, and about glalie being a ice dark mon, the same could be said about huntail and gorebyss being water dark and water psychic
Congrats, man. I found your channel probably about a year ago, and I look forward to all your releases. Never really comment, but I am genuinely happy for you and your wife. Wish you two the best
Scott I would love to see a triple Pikachu run on Yellow, the event Pikachu with Surf, the one with Fly and the other with Petal Dance.
Congrats so much on your Wedding Scott and Wife! ❤❤❤
200 likes on original comment and he has to do this would be awesome great idea!!
Wait there was a petal dance event pikachu? I never knew that...!
It is obviously going to be a win for the surf pikachu but it's an interesting idea!
With 3 light balls? That would be amazing.
Another option for not using Double Team would be to level up until level 21 and replace Double Team with Calm Mind, so that you can deplete your PP without having to use Double Team.
I think an exception to the rules here is fine, for the record, I'm just pointing out an alternative that was missed.
Was gonna point this out but saw you said it beforehand
Yeah, I also came to say that but also that I'm glad he didn't do this, overleveling so early would be tedious.
I personally make some scumbag decisions like sand attack or double team on Roxanne and ESPECIALLY wattson
Wattson is BRUTAL in ruby sapphire because steel types are so amazingly balanced
@@nautgamingnautgaming9949 I like the changes that the Fangame made to type balancing. Took some adjusting, but my two favorite of those choices were making Water weak to Poison, and Steel weak to Psychic. Both just make so much sense to me.
@@Clawdragoons which fangame would that be???
AND I have NO IDEA why poison isn't strong vs water
That's an amazing point actually
Psychic shouldn't be strong or weak to steel I think it's neutral
THE THING that pisses me off is WHY IS BUG so bad against fairy when it CLEARLY should hit fairy types super effective in addition to resisting fairy n dark types
It would also kinda nerf bug steel type with these changes because it would ALLOW other bugs to be viable
In addition grass types should RESIST fairy
man, it really makes you be thankful that the pokemon company added Fairy to Gardevoir in later generations to deal with said dark types
Congratulations! It's been an amazing journey watching your channel grow and evolve!
Congratulations Scott and wife! I felt a warm feeling of happiness for the two of you as soon as the video started with the announcement
no, no - first name "birdkeeper," middle name "denis."
congrats, scott!
Should be CoolTrainer
Denis!
Congrats Scott and wife!!! I hope you two enjoy decades and decades and decades of happiness, and find all the fulfilment you two deserve!!!! Thank you so much for the videos and such, and enjoy!!!

Oh man Gardevoir is one of my favorite Pokémon. Can’t wait to see this one.
not my fav but pretty good
Was my Psychic type of choice in Generation 3 until I realised how painful I find the Slow growth rate - I prefer Grumpig these days but Gardevoir will always be the first Hoenn psychic type that comes to mind.
Yes not my fav also but a super good pokemon. This challenge is easy
Gallade being one of them
ofc it is you degen
A grumpig vs gardevoir video would be awesome. Grumpig to me is like the Hypno equivalent for Hoenn, so a comparison between those two would be really fun

From there, you could use Imprison turn 1 to prevent any Calm Mind setups or Xatu and Lunatone from attacking outright.
Things would be even better if you started with the Trace ability, as it could trace Claydol’s Levitate and make you immune to EQ. Trace would also eliminate the need for the Persim Berry at Norman since you’d copy Own Tempo from Spinda. Perhaps most importantly, it would copy Intimidate from all those Mightyenas, which would aid in setting up against Sidney.
On another note, congrats on the wife, m8!
Wow. Great input here. I hadn't thought of that. Hope when he gets around to re-dos he considers strats like this
Congratulations on the wedding!
Gardevoir is one of my favourite Pokemon so I'm happy to see it do so well.
One thing that might make your Emerald Psychic runs slightly smoother in the future is that you can get the Thief TM without having to clear out the museum, which allows you to avoid defeating the Carvanha Aqua Grunt with Swagger or Struggle. It only saves 1 Dark type Strugglefest but it's something!
Congrats on getting married!
I think it would make sense to only ban evasion moves on trainer battles. Unless I'm missing something, there's not really any benefit to using them against wild mons outside of draining PP and it feels a lot more in the spirit of the challenge to let Gardevoir spam out 15 Double Team PP than leveling all the way up to 21 to replace it with Calm Mind.
Imagine u get stuck on a wild ditto can not one hit but it can one shot you
I cannot express just how happy I am to hear about you, and your now wife having taken the next step - been watching the channel for ages now, and I'm so proud of the growth you've had to date thus far-- here's to many, many happy years for you both!
Congratulations Scott! You and your wife evolved like the Nidoking and Nidoqueen evolutionary line: boyfriend>fiancé>husband and vise versa for your wife. With the final evolution coming from a stone (on an engagement ring)!
Gardevoir finished at lvl 69 channeling his inner scott.
Wife who loves and supports you in the things you do, earned musical talent, a job where you play Pokemon for as long as you want and hang out with other people who like it too, a demonstrated ability to manage your ADHD and produce content that requires focus and diligence... and several cats besides. Ten-year-old Scott must be so proud of you, and so are Tangela and I.
I know the bag trick is tough at 4x speed, but i think you held down the run button to try getting by him, and running will always make a trainer look at you even at 1x speed. just a thought, amazing vid as always!
Congratulations on your marriage!
I wish you both a happy Life together!
Gardevoir making up that time loss from dark types and the shockwave fail plus the slow growth rate shows how good psychic types are in gen 3.
I always used one in my frontier brain team in gen 3!
Congratulations to you two!!! Wishing you two many years of happiness!!!
Congratulations! 🎉 Always look forward to seeing an upload from you! Even more so when I can watch it during the premiere.
Girlfriend is evolving... Girlfriend turns into... Wife.
Using Substitute to setup CM along with Psychic and Thunderbolt would have been interesting. I think the added utility of preventing status moves like confuse ray and sand-attack would have been more valuable over the added coverage of HP Dark.
Congratulations Scott! When I saw the alert I laughed a little because I couldn't believe I didn't think of Gardevoir when you mentioned that your wedding day would have a special run. Very excited that your fiancee is evolving into your wife and I wish you both so much happiness together!

Congratulations Scott, been watching from 8k and happy to see thriving
Congratulations on the marriage
I also noticed you got far better performance wise over the years at Pokémon
You will honestly surpass my skill at gen 3 in a year at this rate because I am pretty capped skillwise but you have much more potential than i ever had
Damn, there's a lot o videos! I need to catch up with them by binge them all haha! Btw, congratulations on your wedding brother!🎉

Just like how marowak shouldn’t have needed a regional variant to be the ghost type it was always meant to be
i hope you blow up on youtube man your videos are so high quality keep it up im watching evrey single video. congrats on the wedding!!!
Congratulations!
Gardevoir was one of my favourite pokemon when I first got Emerald.
Congratulations Scott, I wish you both a journey together as grand as Ash and Pikachu. Now cringe reference aside I think a cool vs run would be Gardevoir vs Hariyama, the special attacker vs the bulky physical attacker.
I felt like the Swagger strat went underappreciated… that was pretty big brain! When I did my Psychic only run in Emerald I spammed out all my PP again

I can't imagine how better it would be if Fairy existed in Gen 3. Fun fact in Gen 6-8, one of its starting moves is Moonblast. Good Video. Gardevoir has always been my fav Psychic type and one my fav Fairy Types. Also congrats.

Sure, Tate & Liza would’ve been more difficult, but having super effective damage for Sidney’s Grass types (and maybe Drake) would be massive. On a more minor note, I think Trace would’ve been a better ability than Synchronize. No mandatory trainer leads with Slakoth or Slaking, so you won’t be burdened with Truant ever. In turn, there are some useful instances of tracing, like Spinda’s Own Tempo preventing Teeter Dance or Intimidate in general, as well as Sealeo’s Thick Fat.
With that said, you put in a good first solo with Gardevoir and I’m excited to see you keep improving at Emerald!
couldn't hidden power bug be better, since it covers the same grass typing but also allows it to hit dark and deal super effective damage to psychic?
Normally I don't comment on these videos because I leave them playing as background noise while I'm doing other things or falling asleep, but I wanted to say congrats on your marriage! Your talk of your partner has always made me smile with how cute it's been, and your wedding date also happens to be on my birthday! So it just felt right to say something this time around.
I personally wanted Gardevoir to take that top spot. Another awesome video Scott!
Same! I think it came down to the growth rate and those early game dark type shenanigans
I can't get over the fact Scott missed the path behind the house in route 114 😂. Again and again that blind spot shows up. It's amazing how someone with such dedication and passion for the games keeps missing obvious stuff. I love the runs, but i live for these moments 😂.
Congrats Scott! I hope you had a great wedding.
As for the versus idea. I think Slaking would be a good option. Both the Slaking line and the Gardevoir line are available early but require some investment to get going. They also have completely different styles of play so it would be interesting to see how they play next to each other.
Congratulations Scott to you are your partner!
Congrats Scott!! Hope you have had a fantastic day mate! Thank you for the uploads
If you ever decide to allow Egg moves, your best bet is definitely gonna be Will-o-Wisp (personally, I don't consider TM moves to also be "Egg" moves despite them being passed on during the breeding process). It'll still be a bit on the slow side, but at least it'll provide reliable damage to early Dark-types and keep you from needing to Struggle-spam.
Anyway, can't wait for the re-run!
Congrats scott!
Prediction: Gardevoir despite being one of my favorites isn't going to be that amazing until it gains a fairy type in the future... but i can still hope!
First of all, Congratulations to the lucky couple!!!!!🎉 may you both share a wonderful, happy and healthy lifetime together ❤🎉❤
It's kinda hard to assign an easy counterpart to Gardevoir for the vs. because, as you said, it was a soft reboot generation.
See, If alakazam and Gardevoir are equivalent, and Alakazam's counterpart was Gengar(?), it wouldn't really be a fair fight to pin Garde against, say, Clops or banette. The closest I can imagine would be like, Medicham or Hariyama? But those two are kind of their own counterparts for many.
I propose, ergo, that your gen3 race should be Gardevoir vs. Alakazam, as the two have the Closest relation in common.
Congratulations on the new evolution at life Scott, thanks for the videos
just found your channel a month or two ago so seeing this video and saying this so late seems silly but congrats on the wedding!
Congratulations on the wedding Scott! I’m so happy for you, friend.
Congratulations! I wish you and your wife all the best!
That introduction was epic! Right up my comedy alley!
Congratulations Scott! Wishing you and your wife many years of happiness together.
Congratulations Scott. Here's to many more years.
Always happy to make it for a Scott’s thoughts premiere
Congratulations, Scott we love you
Scott - wishing you and your wife all the best for your special day and for all the days to come!! Your content has provided so many hours of enjoyment in our household. At this point, my own wife will hear a Pokèmon video in the background and go, "say hi to Scott!" So congrats from both of us and don't forget to relax and enjoy life in between all the content!
Congratulations! So much happiness on your way through life together. I dont know whos mor lucky you or her as youre an awesome guy! Keep it on like that!
Many many congratulations Scott! Have an amazing, successful, happy and blessed life. ♥️
Scott, I have been watching since late 2020, got engaged atound the same time as you, and now it turns out our weddings were 1 week apart! Congratulations man! Hope you thought it was as amazing as I think mine was!
Congratulations! My day was straight out of a fairy tale. So special. It’s really cool that our weddings were so close together!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon it is cool! And right back at you about the fairy tale, mine was better than I could have imagined. Even our wedding vendors were commenting on what a party it was! Looking forward to future content, stay awesome.
Congratulations! May your future be filled with happiness and much more Pokémon content!
Congratulations on achieving the third evolution! It can be slow and frustrating but wife type pokemon are amazingly strong.
There doesn't seems to be an obvious choice of a 3rd generation pairing for Gardevoir. It's not pair of a game exclusive pair, and there are no early game ghost or dark pokemon with 3 stage evolutions. However, I have a more radical suggestion: An Alakazam vs video. Gardevoir was intended to be a version of Alakazam so it would be interesting see how they match up. You can get Abras before the second gym, so I could consider them to be a fairly early game pokemon as well.
Congrats! Kinda funny, I started watching this video right after I got home from my cousin's wedding.
Congratulations from France Scott !
Wish you all the best !!!
Thank you for your work.

Congratulations for the wedding Scott !! So happy for you both 💖
Congratulations my dude!!! So happy for you!!! 🎉❤
What an intro!!! Congrats to you and your wonderful wife! I hope you two have a long life full of happiness and playthroughs of Venomoth together!
I often pair up a Gardevoir with either a Breloom, Hariyama or Blaziken as the core members of my team in most Gen 3 runs. Basically anything one can't handle the other one most assuredly can.
I've been catching up with all of your old videos, it has been fun to see your relationship evolve from Girlfriend into Fiancee and now finally reach the final evolution! Congrats on your wedding!
Thanks so much!
Gardevoir vs Metagross would be really cool! Battle of psychic behemoths
Congratulations on your wedding Scott, and about glalie being a ice dark mon, the same could be said about huntail and gorebyss being water dark and water psychic
