345 - Training a Pokemon to Level 100 with Money Only! The Lv.100 Gauntlet! 

Just posting this to clear something up since it's been brought up a few times: I did not play at all during my cousin's wedding - I only played for maybe 10-15 minutes during the reception while everyone was partying. I've got more respect and self-awareness than that to play DS during someone's wedding!

Level 100 using the Pokéwalker, but you're only allowed to gather steps by *dancing*

Pay to Win, literally.

Holding your 3ds over the falls unnerved me immensely

I love that he doesn’t just film the game he blogs his whole experience while doing it in this case he goes on a long road trip

I was going to be all up on the idea of you playing pokemon at a wedding but then I heard the chicken dance and... well... do whatever you need to do, hero.

Amazing video Matt! You always come up with the most unique little ideas :D I look forward to see how you'll raise a Pokemon to level 100 next!

"I'm shiny hunting for a shiny buttocks I'm on route 22 in the caverns of death"

Why do we have the same dance I thought I copyrighted it 😡

Dont you just hate when your trying to look at mountains and then there is refrigerator in the road

Hey man, You actually make some nice videos. It's really cool that you go on walks and film things besides the game, as well as provide additional dialogue and stories. Way more refreshing than random youtubers screaming about themselves and using a weird approximation of a radio hosts voice while making shit excuses for jokes and playing terribly. nice.

I can't believe I'm almost 4 years late to this. Loving this content in 2019 ♡

Man this channel is super underrated.

Hey, Absol! I have some ideas for your level 100 challenges • Raising a pokemon on a unique Pokémon each battle • Raising a pokemon on only legendaries •Raising a pokemon on just Pokémon from a rival (like Hop) on just his pokemon in double battles

Just discovered this channel and the only thing i can say is that this is not just a video, it's a experience

I love that these videos aren't just pure gameplay. Makes em fun to rewatch because they sort of have a "homey" feel to them. It's just a relaxing watch

I know the quality isn’t always the best for the level 100 gauntlet but the quality more than makes up for it to the point where I couldn’t give a shit about the quality, good job bro hope you keep up the good work man

LMAO THE DANCING PART WITH GET LOW

*drops ds in waterfall*

Honestly I enjoy when Matt plays pokemon outside, in the car, and in random places because it makes me feel nostalgic for some reason

very very cool video Matt, seriously. The highlight was easily and without a doubt when you "tore it up on the dance floor".That Ruby Falls place looks amazing, i think you should for sure show some more of that. I have a ton of footage Gavin recorded from the Crystal Caves when he was on vacation with his mom but I never uploaded it.

"I'm pretty sure HM07 isn't quite enough in order to scale these waterfalls cuz they're so tall." "What's that?" "I'm making a- [pokemon joke]"

Pokémon is Pay to win Confirmed

5:40 Absolutely delighted to see a Tim Hortons given the spotlight it deserves, with an Iced Capp no less!

That dancing. Flawless

This playlist of level 100 gauntlets is currently getting me through 8 hours of retail hell, you are my savior lol

DARK PIT'S THEME??!?!? I love you

Great video Matt! I saw a refrigerator in the middle of the road during a road trip too! xD

Going through your lvl 100 gauntlet vids after seeing the national dex one. Such a fun concept of a video series! It's wild to think that we were both at Niagara falls on 8/7/2015 since it's my dad's birthday and we went there for his 50th. 😂 Hotdog Johnny's > Ted's imo though. 😋

I wanted to say I like your road trip footage and your sister's wedding. Reminds me of the really expensive reception my own sister had for her first wedding. Shame it crashed and burned. Lesson to be learned: Money does not buy true love. It does buy Pokemon levels, though. XD Now that I have my own copy of Black 2 (for the Ribbon Quest) I plan on using it on my Mawile. ^_^

A video from you is like Christmas morning: I see it, and I can't wait to watch it, and when it's done I'm sad because it's over. Awesome video as always Absol, keep up the great work!

Dude, congrats on the roadtrip and your lvl 100 phanpy! I love your styles of videos, the gameplay mixed with reality, truly makes me chuckle at moments like you "tear it up on the dance floor"!

These gauntlet videos are by far the coolest thing on your channel!

Your absolutely on fire dance moves blew me away

Standing in the middle of the dance floor staring across the room is my constant mood lol

again, the travel parts of the videos really make these shine. i love watching you complete the challenges, and seeing all the pretty places you went during the time spent.

I think I realised why I love these videos sm. I have a fear of traveling and can't go far from home, so seeing you go about let's me experience the joys of travel in a way that is safe and comfy :) Can't thank you enough for sharing these memories!

Your videos are AMAZING. and oh my gosh, I used to work at Ruby Falls as a tour guide! I couldn't believe it when you showed that clip, lol. It's super beautiful!

I just stumbled upon your channel and I am really enjoying the content! It was really cool to see Ruby Falls in this gauntlet! I’m from the area, so seeing it show up randomly on someone’s RU-vid channel (especially a Pokémon related one) was really cool. Anyway keep up the great content, man!

I seriously can’t get enough of your videos. You’re definitely the best, most creative Pokétuber around. Consistently great videos with stellar editing, funny moments, unique ideas, and showing much more than just the game itself makes your content so much fun to watch.

I know I’m like... 3 years late on this.... but where did you go while your in Buffalo? I live in Amherst, and it would’ve been cool to know that one of my favorite Poketubers was near me to!

I live that I get to go on these lvl 100 adventures with you. Thank you

I don't know why but the ethereal Pokémon music while zooming in on an abandoned Mountain Dew box cracked me up. XD

Hey Matt, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy hour unique content. It’s so much fun to watch your videos, they really give me that oldschool home video vibe and it’s so interesting and lovely! Keep up the good work :)

Oh man, that vlog was awesome Matt!!! My favorite part was when you showed us your dancing skills! :D It just cracked me up!

I love your vids ‘cause they’re basically game videos + vlogs which is something you never really see and can only be done with handheld consoles. Shoutout Nintendo

Your channel has a whole lotta wholesome content. I'm subbing.

Coming from a Canadian, trying an Ice-Cap for the first time on your birthday is probably the best gift someone could give.

Wow you were on a road trip for 7 months. Incredible!!!!

Cowboy Maloney's Electric City, sick dance moves at the wedding, a cool cave named after Ruby version, a PHANPY!!!! This is a gauntlet for the ages! Wow!

I’ve been to Ruby Falls, it was really cool, it’s awesome to see that you were there too, and before I went

So many cool sights to see on this trip! I, of course, am referring to Cowboy Malone's Electric City... what an honor.

HECC YEAH! LOUISIANA SQAAAAAD!!! WHOOOP! Also, dude. Holy crud. MAD respect. Filming on LOUISIANA roads! I FEEL your pain! That’s like... literally legendary.

Thats how the mafia works

I just visited Canada less than a month ago, and I could see the spot I viewed Niagara Falls at from where you were. I just think it's so cool that you shared your perspective in the video. Thanks for giving me the chance to see the other side of the Falls! Also, great video, btw!

I know I’m late to the party, but your channel is awesome! Love the gauntlet!

this video truly was a magical experience. since i live far away from america I don't think I'll ever go to the places you went, but it was so amazing combining pokemon music and comparing the two places IRL & In-game with the music was cool af. Thanks, Absol.

You just standing there in the dance floor was amazing 😂

Happy birthdays and congratulations all round :) You dance like me so YAY! I'm not the only one lol Those were some AMAZING places that I've always dreamed of traveling to America to see, so thank you so much for sharing your wonderful road trip - I had so much fun watching this video. Thank you for such amazingly unique videos

You’re so dedicated it’s amazing 💕

Tbh im not even here for the leveling, just here for this guys amazing vlogs and humor, more power mat

Scenic lookout point checklist: Lookout point Scenic

That Phanpy has the same super power as Batman: cold hard cash!

Starting off a roadtrip with Spirit Tracks music. Good fit!

Thanks for Dark Pit’s theme from Kid Icarus Uprising, man!

Awesome video! So glad I stumbled upon this channel a few days ago! Only issue is Pokemon pick, why not our wonderful gold lover meowth?

Tbh honnest, I subbed for the lv 100 gauntlet And I really really like them Keep up the good work dude You're doing amazingly

Congratulations on your money well spent! I hope it was a great trip. It was cool to see a Pokemon reared like that.

This music is from the legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks.. great pick for a great video

4:55 Man I love how you link Pokemon stuffs to real life. You really sounded like me when I was younger. I miss those times...

I love Nintendo games so when I saw you level up an egg I was very interested. Well that's why I am here now watching your videos absolutely loving how it's both the video I want to see as well as a really fun vlog you've made it entertaining and personal. Also it grew some nostalgia in me watching you play at the wedding because that's all I would do as a child

Hahah they played get low at your cousins wedding!!! That’s amazing!! Loving your videos in 2019! Keep it up 💪🏻

Yes this video is old but I live right near Buffalo. I go to Niagra Falls all the time. It's great. Also on this day was the day I got my cat Chloe fixed so I was in Buffalo all day. Sad we didn't run into each other. If you ever need another place to go that's amazing is Presque (I believe that's how you spell it) Isle in Pennsylvania. Not sure where but it's amazing

Appreciate the Spirit Tracks music used for the travel footage... also, that's a nice '05 ish Honda Odyssey you got there.

THATS SO COOL!!! YOU WENT TO MY CITY ON MY BIRTHDAY! AWESOME, I WAS BORN AUGUST 5TH AND LIVED IN BUFFALO MY WHOLE LIVE!

them dance moves 10/10

I love this because it’s half lvl 100 gauntlet and half vlog

I remember going to (possibly) the Ruby Falls as a child because we lived in Tennessee for a while, just seeing that again though not in my perspective was nostalgic.

Only you get the idea of bringing a 3DS to a wedding xD and I loved seeing the Niagara Falls and Ruby Falls in Tennessee 😍 Now I have two places to go when I decide to trip in United States. Great video!

this video has such positive energy

Wow... Beautiful!

I cringed when you were on your DS at the actual wedding but you do you

I love these videos because they’re also part vlogs? They’re really just something special (I have a soft spot for this one as I’m from Buffalo!!!)

One thing's for sure... Y'come over to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, and it's SO DAMN PRETTY!!! Also, I'm not sure if it's on the other side, but over here, there's this tunnel system that takes you up close to one of the falls, just close enough for you to get soaked in the spray of the falls, and it's quite the experience!

Hi from France ! It's 6 am and your channel spawned in m'y recommandation haha

Man I used to live in buffalo, so seeing Ted’s, Tim Horton’s, and Dave and Adam’s brings back so many memories of when I was little. Also a pretty fun video overall.

0:30 JOIN AVENUE MUSIC, YEAH!!!!! Anyways, great video!:)

I work at Ruby Falls!! That is so cool that you've been there!! :)

wow those dance moves were wild 🔥

I remember join avenue vividly like it was yesterday man, called mine pop. avenue and had a blast talking to all the NPC and player characters along with all the cool upgrades for the venue and stalls there. i hope we get to revisit unova and join avenue sometime on something like the switch so everyone can make there own join avenue like I did when I was 10 or so

You know it’s a good wedding when they bring out the chicken dance

I have lived in Tennessee for all my life so far (im 15) and i had no idea ruby falls was a thing. thx for the great content.

That Twilight Princess Lake Hylia track hit me right in the nostalgia.

Keanu Reeves looks at Niagra Falls and says, "You're Breathtaking!"

This randomly popped up in my recomended and after watching it I was surprised to see only 9k subs, even with the bad way of recording this video was weirdly aesteathically pleasing. Looking forward to checking out your other stuff, if its any like this im looking forward to it.

this guy has the will of fire

This is the first time I’ve ever heard Kentucky mentioned in a RU-vid video (besides KFC of course). Anyway, this was a great addition to this fantastic series!

lmao the zoom in on the mtn dew slayed me!

Why did it take youtube 3 years to show me this awesome series!

Hey I’m from buffalo, I’m really glad someone finally appreciates it
