Imagine you're a pokemon trainer and some guy fights you for so long throwing pokeballs at your pokemon and healing his until your pokemon literally kills itself
@@Roberto577_One I'll be honest, with how much old Nintendo games have been inflated by online sellers with little-to-no ways to play a lot of their older games, be a pirate. I know as a creator I should be "nooooo, company needs money :(((", but when that company is a titan like Nintendo and rereleases games old enough to vote for full price... Nah, I can't justify that shit. I'm also not going to give some scalper 300 dollars so I can play Fire Emblem. Yarr Harr Fiddle Dee Dee.
Apparently at the Elite Four we were sitting at ~138 hours in game time. I won't lie when I say a pretty large percentage of that was BEFORE the first gym, but still a fun number.
Is this the peak of Pokemon Challenge runs? I mean, besides trying to take this into a nuzlocke or a rom hack, surely beating Pokemon by just standing there doing nothing is the hardest way to win
@@viperio4345 you wouldn't be able to not use items and not use moves at the same time, because items are basically used to stall turns and there's nothing else you can do to forfeit or skip your turn. You also wouldn't be able to just- waste your PP and struggle, because using all your moves to get struggle is "using moves" and thus voiding the run.
@@robbiirvine1038 actually, you can still waste turns by switching. Another option, which is more debatable, is if you for example spam awakenings on a pokemon that isn’t asleep, so it fails. The item doesn’t get used up, but it’s kinda playing with definitions. It also doesn’t work in all pokemon games. Just switching is still a fair strategy though.
This is an extremely specific request I feel like I have a legal obligation to fulfill. I'll hide Skuntank in the next Starcraft video (I might make a small one before that), he'll be fairly small and in an obscure corner of the video for exactly 4 frames. That, I shall do for you Jason.
New video, 12:17 , shows up under the "Terrazine Fog" display for 4 frames as promised. Opacity is low, but it's still visible if you pause it on time.
You were right from the start - this isn't a question normally asked! I expected the Rocky Helmet and similar strategies, but you expanded it far beyond that! With the abuse of Audino's Regenerator, you practically have a new playstyle here. To top it off, learned a couple things about my favorite generation! (Reshiram is a Blue Eyes White Dragon, N's full name, Cheren and Bianca being bad (psyche))
@@DaveyGunface N's name was given to him by Ghetis. It should also be noted that in B2/W2 N calls Ghetis his father, but it is unclear as to if he is just an adoptive father of if he actually is his biological father and deliberately abandoned him in the forest to try to make him able to speak with Pokemon and to make him easy to manipulate for his own plan to rule Unova.
what a silly idea do you enjoy grinding or is the challenge enough to make you do it? in any case it's amazing that you managed to make an entertaing video out of it
I didn't enjoy the grinding at all, but since it was so easy to do I usually had something playing on the other screen the entire time. Other than that, I actually enjoyed my time with everything after the ~2nd gym. There were a lot of really nice checkpoints on the way that I enjoyed getting to and looking forward to.
I just finished and I think there’s some untapped potential- no aftermath Pokémon?! Also, did the magic guard Pokémon not take damage from anything except struggle? They seem like roadblocks I want to try this 👀
The only Pokemon you can get with Aftermath is in post-game, since it's a hidden ability for Garbodor Drifblim I believe is your only option. You can also only get one Snow Warning / Sand Stream Pokemon, also in post game, Tyranitar. Really if you want a generation to utilize the most Pokemon abilities go for Gen 4 (specifically Platinum). That really has everything you could ever want and more, and it's by far the easiest out of the first 5 generations.
Never played a pokemon game, I have no idea why struggling deals damage or why they struggle in the first place. I guess the spikey looking pokemon was good because it hurt people when they touched it? Was the butterfly pokemon setting people on fire when they poked it? Frankly who cares, funny man makes me laugh while doing things I cannot understand is exactly the entertainment that brain desires.
Struggle is the consequence for running out of moves, your mon makes a last ditch effort to do Something and hurts itself badly in the process. your other two points are correct
This is insane. I thought you were just going to do something like "can I beat pokemon with only struggle?" or some other technicality but you really did it.
If you had chosen Oshawott as your starter instead of Snivy, wouldn't the 1st gym leader's monkey have had Vine Whip, a physical move that can be affected by Intimidate, instead of Incinerate, a special move that can't be affected by Intimidate?
True, although to be fair you have to go to the Dreamyard regardless, so it's just doing it in a bit of a different order. I actually don't even think you can get to the daycare before hitting up the Dreamyard either.
I always wanted to make a Pokemon video, but unfortunately a lot of the challenges are some really boring and repetitive stuff like "Can you beat Pokemon Edition with Low Base Stat Pokemon(s)". I had to find something really "unique" for lack of a better word, and I think I found it.
For the four people who care, here's the explanation of N's full name: Natural could stand for natural numbers or the ten billion "natural" things related to e. This relates to N, because he likes math. Harmonia is exactly what it sounds like. N's themes features a special harmony. I don't know shit about music theory, but you can look it up if you care. Also, N displays several symptoms of autism, and "harmony" is sorta related to that. Lastly, Gropius obviously refers to Walter Gropius, the founding father of the "Bauhaus" architecture and design. This style is known for it's simple shapes and pragmatic designs. Once again, this can be related to autism. Thanks for reading through this bit of trivia. It must've been hard on your attention span
The main reference is Genji from Overwatch, he says it when he needs healing and trust me when I say Genji players will make sure you know that they need healing.
10:50 actually im pretty sure sudoku would also get you on a watchlist in the world of 1984, love the content, but fore some stupid reason I wanted to mention this
@@DaveyGunface Oh I honestly didn’t know that, huh. Also let’s take a second to appreciate the fact ya sunk so much time into this damn challenge this seems hard
Gotcha, yeah Gen 6 is when experience got a slight overhaul, with catching granting experience and the oh-so infamous EXP Share. I have to say, I'm really "excited" to eventually do this with Platinum because holy god, that game has all of the abilities that I missed in this. It wasn't Gen 3 levels of streamlining the team (god that team sucked), but no weather and aftermath until post game sucks.
That'd miraculously be more boring because all I'd have to do is get my Pokemon to level 100 and take 2 damage per attack. It's a choice between "Use items and stay at a relatively even level", or "Literally never take damage ever", the former was infinitely more interesting.
@@DaveyGunface it actually wouldn't necessarily have to be lv. 100 because there still would be strategies, it's more so convenience and early game possiblity.
