You know how when you do Pokemon battles you generally take damage? What if you just don't? You should watch on Twitch: / smallant ▶Discord: / discord ▶Twitter: / smallant ▶Reddit: / smallant
This one was a bit complicated so I opted for some post commentary for once. Hope you like it! (I'm still doing my regular style of videos normally so don't worry)
I love this style of video!!! Please make more like this! The commentary adds an extra level of personality and detail to what is otherwise just a stream highlight.
Yes, I actually prefer this post commentary, though clips and highlights from the streams would make some good content for a different video as well, because with this format, we do miss those chat gems.
I had my Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke ended by a combination of Jupiter's Zubat and Skuntank. I was going to use Geodude to kill Zubat and Skuntank with rock and ground moves but Zubat one shotted it with Giga Drain, then my other Pokemon fell to her team. I'm sure I had other Pokemon in the PC but I was going on the rule that if you black out once you lose.
Actually, it would matter. Since he has to save at every gym, and since poison does damage while walking, he would be unable to exit the gym without taking damage, meaning he would be softlocked and must restart the entire challenge. He would need an antidote or a Pecha berry to avoid this, which would be unlikely for him to own, considering the rules of the challenge.
bit late to the party but this is genuinely one of the most impressive achievements i’ve ever seen, not exclusive to pokémon games, incredible. the patience and perseverance is insane
At that time I did not have the correct ball. I believe later on you receive a net ball which drastically increases the odds to catch one. If I had tried to catch the shiny without the net ball I most likely would have taken damage
Ok but imagine how terrifying this kids legend would be. "You heard about the new champion? It's told he never... ever got hit. Not even once! And he 1 hit knocked out everything in his way!"
*Smallant* : I have my Lv. 100 Pokemon with priority moves, this challenge is going to be so easy from now on *Dennis' Drifblim* : _I'm about to end this man's whole career_
This is just insane I mean I love grinding in Pokemon got 560 hrs in HeartGold, 363 hrs in Sapphire, over 100 hrs in Crystal, Diamond, Blue, Red, Black/White 2 and so on but this grind is unreal and deserves lot of respect. I've seen also your other challenges and you have to admit SmallAnt is really a pokemon grand master. I play Pokemon since 1999 but with those challenges you can always learn more well done SmallAnt Greetings from germany :)
Chicken Permission he didn’t catch it cause he only had regular poke balls which means he most likely would’ve had to reset which means grinding again and the one he caught was with a net ball and right after a gym which is a save
@@lethalvenom8955 haha glad i could make some people laugh! this whole video as a whole was very cool even if i dont know the pokemon games that well enough!
I haven't watched the entire video just yet but seeing how SmallAnt had to reset 57 times to complete the first trainer battle says a lot about how this run is going to go.
Imagine if it was a gym leader new to the job, too “Oh boy, I can’t wait for my first day as a gym leader, I hope I do w-“ *kid sends out a fucking level 40 raptor* “…I hate this job.”
Watching you for the first time, you sir are a nut. I'm so glad you found success with all the dedication it took you. At a certain point, I assume for you failure was no longer an option. Anyways congrats on the success again if you happen to look at a lone comment on a video from two years ago.
Imagine all your friends as a kid being so hyped over one of them completing a nuzlocke and you just pull out, "I beat the game without ever taking damage."
Dude, ur one dedicated dude. Most marines don’t have that type of dedication to start a game up 70+ times and level all ur team up to level 100 off 1 hit
Ant: "the daycare turns this challenge into less of a grind " also ant: "so I spent 8 hours of my life biking up and down this road to level up my pokemon in the daycare. Twice. " Loving the post commentary btw, it feels like listening to an audiobook or audio documentary!
I mean, he isn't wrong. I spent just about an entire 8 hours grinding a volcarona up to level 100 (starting at level 60 something) off of the first time you go to beat the elite 4 in Gen 5. I can only imagine how long it'd take to grind off of level 20's, for the three Pokemon he got to level 100
Since he is playing with an emulator he should have just set up some key-makro going up and down / left and right on an area without fight potentials and leave it running
There needs to be some way that you can AFK that. Perhaps cheats, code it to automatically bike up and down up a long strip of land. Just set it down, then go do something else while your Pokémon is grinded up to Lv100.
i cant imagine the ingame terror that SmallAnt would havoc in this run. can you imagine as a gym leader or Elite hearing about a ten year old nearly KO'ing everyone else, capturing Giratina and plowing through the elite four without getting hit once.
Re-watched this 'cos Shining Pearl coming soon. Forgotten a lot of the Pokémon in this series. This is gonna be dope af! Fantastic video. You're cookoo for doing it, but fantastic all the same!
Looks like Quick Attack was the most problematic move for this playthrough until you got Giratina, but I'm pretty sure in Platinum you can catch Gastly and Rotom very early in the Old Chateau inside Eterna Forest.
Maximus Jacksamus Neither really, the battle remained basically the same in the remake. The only difference was he dropped a few levels for Platinum. It’s just simple when you’re at level 100 though
Just Imagine being training your entire life into adulthood to get into the Elite 4. Now imagine getting every single one of your Pokemon getting killed in one shot by a kid.
To be fair, their whole life of training on mountains, crossing seas, ... to level their pokemon is no match for some old couple in the suburb playing with the pokemons in the garden.
0:10 pokemon has extreme replay value. That plus the ridiculous playtime you'll get in post game is what makes emerald probably my second most played game(second to minecraft)
@@Fran-rd1nl It's so it would stay interesting both for him and the viewers... Plus it would take ages to save after every battle at the speed of gen 4 saving lmao, pretty much the only problem I have with gen 4 over other gens
About the Snover+Sneasel trainer in the Snowpoint Gym, you could just kill Snover with Glaceon then send anything that could one-shot the Sneasel since when you send the pokemon in, it won't take damage right away from the Hail.
Not gonna lie, I'm really not much for watching gamers because I seriously don't care to watch other people play games but I've watched a few of these polemon challenges and I must say I'm impressed. Hella respect for the commitment my dude 💯
It’s rly funny seeing how someone actually tries so hard to beat zubat when he had lvl100 pokemon but not want to take damage The meticulous planning on just defeating a weak foe but to no damage achievement The determination is just damn amazing I’d probably just steamroll it without even care whether or not i take damage Great vid btw, now i kinda wanna copy ur line up and playstyle but not gonna reset it cuz some dude scratch my pokemon
This is actually a lot like how I beat D/P on my first playthrough as a kid. I was stuck in the first city because I had no idea I had to talk to someone to progress. By the time I figured it out, I had already spent a ridiculous amount of time raising a level 50+ Infernape, Staraptor, and Luxray. To this day, I have no idea how child me had the patience to do that. But, I still have those 3 now level 70ish pokemon resting in my PC after all this time.
I met a kid who didn’t know where to go at all and just grinded his piplup into an empoleon in that first grass patch LOL. When I showed him my game he was like “how did you get there??” I was like bro literally you just walk to the right 😭😭 we were probably like 9.
On my first play through ever ( Pokemon fire red) I had a Charizard level 60 on surge because i only had one Pokemon and think how I beat misty even I don't remember that
Huh, neat. GameChamp did this in Red, but that's a game with absolutely mangled code and AI so I figured it's not possible in other games. Guess I was wrong.
My guy did the bike/daycare trick off stream 😂 I used to do that in ruby. You need the bike that can't go up those steep rocks and it'll just keep bouncing you back to the last frame but it counts as a step. Just gotta put something heavy on your up button.
Yeah the video was cool but I strongly disagreed on that point lol Every playthrough is different because there's billions of possible team combinations
@Gabriel Mota Sturdy didn't have the "free focus sash" effect until gen 5. In gens 3-4, it just stopped OHKO attacks (Fissure, sheer cold, horn drill, guillotine).
@@prodecks2005 Well, one had ExtremeSpeed, but he used Giratina for that. Edit: My B homeboi, didn't remember that ExtremeSpeed was still only priority +1 in Gen IV
Sturdy: Does not work that way in Gen4. Hail: He outsmarted the game with Glaceon. Sand: No forced battle with sand in the game. Recoil moves: Why would he use them? Sucker Punch: All priority moves in gen 4 had the same priority. So yeah, there is luck involved, but not in any of this topics
I was worried for you when I first saw this, remembering how bad it was when VG-myths did the same challenge in pokemon red. I agree that it's fair to have saves and emulator speed ups, to spare your sanity.
These scripted videos are so much better than the ones where you just talk with chat. I really appreciate the ones you've done like this one. Keep up the good work
I only recently thought of a good challenge: Can you beat Pokémon Platinum catching only Pokémon you've seen by other trainers (except your starter). In other words, it means you can't catch a Pokémon or evolve it until you've battled a trainer who uses it in battle.
Normal person: "Hey I wanna play pokemon again but it's too easy so I'll do a nuzlocke where fainting means the pokemon dies and I can't use them again." Ant: "Hey I wanna play pokemon again but it's too easy so I'll PLAY THE WHOLE GAME WITHOUT EVER TAKING DAMAGE."
@@Typhin. According to 'MR. OBVIOUS' Gamefreaks Dev's are evidently as incompetent as Yandere-Dev. That RU-vidr covers Stuff that even Experts like Distant Kingdom never covered and shows that the Skill-Level has LITERALLY and not figuratively returned to ‚Red/Blue’-Standarts. Yeah. No kidding. Check him out.
I'm DYING. Look at the last frame. Look at the absolute HORROR in bibarrels eyes. It has truly seen the end of times, and that was not nearly as bad as what it suffered lmfao
@@kumikostan69 Oh, I know it didn't exist. I just think it'd be funny should they ever attempt this again. Not that I think they will, considering the hell this challenge must have been.
