Can you beat Pokemon without attacking? 

EDIT: hey guys! hope you liked the video, put a ton of effort and work into making it :) SmallAnt and I are good friends and had a nice competition in which we could do the same challenge. He happened to beat me to uploading it, and did a fantastic job on his video! I'm asking for my own mental health if we can stop commenting 'copying' jokes and 'SmallAnt is better than you', since they're untrue and things are getting very toxic in both the reply section and my DMs. I understand a lot of you want to poke fun and be a part of the rivalry, but please keep in mind that I'm just your average person behind the screen and a lot things that are being said are attacking my personal character unfairly. I want to keep playing games and having fun streams with my friend, but if things like this continue (this has happened before on multiple occasions) I don't think I'll be able to. It's okay to poke fun and joke, all I'm asking is to not take things too seriously. Thank you! You have NO idea how insane the past 24 hours have been. This video was made in 10 hours ON STREAM after this twitter exchange with SmallAnt: twitter.com/SmallAnt/status/1386813095633309699?s=20 so we needed to beat him at his own game.

I'm Eric's friend so I'm the only one allowed to be mean to him. dont be mean to my friend in the comments or anything ok ty

the man - the myth - the video. Claps to the editor, the mods, the competition and the friends we made along the way

1:02 PointCrow: this sounds easy right? Literally anyone: wtf- no! PointCrow: well it turns out it actually isn't easy.

The idea of having a competition over who could complete a video of the same challenge is absolutely hysterical

OK SO MAYBE I FELL ASLEEP

Great video and fun competition between the two of you to watch.

I love how crow and ant both got stuck on an oddish

“Oh cool did you get this challenge idea from smallant?” comments inbound. They’re on the horizon soon to be haunting you with their sass.

At this rate you’ll be doing a, “Can you beat Pokémon without using Pokémon?” challenge

This is proof that Bulbasaur is the best Kanto starter

"Whatever that does, It doesn't damage." *"Therefore, it is useless"* -7 year old me

We gave up Rick Gastly... but he didn't let us down *sobs

Seeing Ant and Crow’s different ways to tackle the same challenge is really interesting. Like, how often do we see two competent people do the same challenge in such quick succession? It’s a unique experience, and I’m glad I get to be a part of it by watching.

This was the most chaotic stream I’ve ever attended and it was worth every minute 👏🏻 props to Eric, mods and editor for this video and race it was a joy to be there

I was today years old when i found out that you could walk on the sand in brock's gym

SmallAnt may have beaten this faster, but did he get triple 7s with his eyes closed? Didnt think so

Joke’s on smallant, this only adds backstory to the hero character arc.

"league of le- i mean toxic" LOL

absolutely based this competition just gave me double the content in the same 24 hours. The advantage of a rivalry.

This is a great video and challenge! It’s a shame people only focus on the fact that smallant won the contest... I hope to see more Pokémon challenges on this channel in the future

"Pacifist route :D" My man you just drained, poisoned and burned an entire region

I kinda feel bad for people who weren't there for the stream. they're missing so much of the story.

The craziest thing is that he was underleveled as hell doing this, and he still succeeded like, 10 levels under the champions levels lol.

You may have lost the battle but you've gained a subscriber. Legendary stuff

4:35 Crow just pulled a Vsauce on us

Eric, it is time for your revenge arc!

If you came here to comment about smallant you better watch the WHOLE video. If you want these friends to actually benefit from these friendly challenges then support both videos. Then say what you came here to say.

The legend, he did it. Late, but at least the RU-vid drought is finally over AND it's a pokemon video

When you use a Master Ball to get a Koffin, you know It's getting serious.

Video is so good. I came from SmallAnt's video. Props to the both of you! This was hilarious

The most difficult part of this challenge was giving rickgastly up. Truly he was what made this so fun

Man, I watch Ant's earlier today. Was rooting for you, man

Pointcrow seems like a sort of default punching bag for a few different youtubers here and I think he deserves more respect and love 💕

Waiting on the "Smallant does a challenge and I beat him to it" video redemption arc now

seeing this whole thing come together from gameplay, to script writing, to creating the thumbnail was absolutely incredible. and after seeing the end result i can say that all those hours of work really paid off. well done dude 👏🏻

This came out later than SmallAnts! #Don'tDisrespectWoopWoop

Great video! I also came from Ant and he may have done this quicker, but you still came with this idea first and made a great video about it, congrats ^^

look at that gorgeous thumbnail. fantastic work mister bird man. the entire stream was so fun, it was well worth not having done my reading for class to join modcast lmao

I've watched smallants video a couple times, just thought to come watch yours. It's cool to see the similarities and differences in your strategies. Cool video man!

yesss this was such a fun competition!! love both you and SmallAnt, and adore your friendship. thank you for such good content!

Imagine being the champion of a region and losing to this? That’s so demoralizing and I love it. It’s like being the best wrestler in the world and losing to a guy with no arms.

I absolutely love the rivalry going on between you and Ant. Makes for great content, can't say I've ever seen a race to get a video out first from any other content creators. Love the work you put into these, like how much more detail you put into the vid. def worth the extra wait

PointCrow counting down to get vulpix: "One, two, three--" RU-vid: Yeah, lets give them an ad

Guys, we need to give Smallant some credit, Eric was kinda scared of how we would receive a pokemon video. And thanks to this healthy competition, and nerve racking stream, he delivered a fantastic Pokemon video. Keep up man!

“This guy just came into the elite four playing the flute and making my Pokémon die while his dance. I won’t question his tactics, but I will say I am very confused by them.”

Awesome video!! I'm excited to see more pokemon challenges on this channel!! I quite enjoyed this video and the teleporting video, and so as a huge fan of pokemon, it is cool to see one of my favourite creators start making challenges for em!

Great video! I love the content you and smallant both put out and I really enjoy the friendly rivalry videos/streams, I hope to see more of it!

i wondered why i felt deja vu but then i remembered you literally wrote the script on stream lmao

This saga between you and Smallant is truly legendary

It’s so cool to see the final video after watching you create it. Really enjoyed the stream and video!

10/10. This is an awesome challenge, and the editing stream was absolutely chaotic. Hope you and Smant continue to do fun challenges like this in the future, hopefully without people taking it too seriously.

Both Smant and Pcrow did this challenge without referencing the others tactics, and thats pretty pogchamp tbh

I absolutely love the smallant point pointcrow rivalry

I loved this challenge and the competition with small ant that grew out of it! I enjoyed both your vids so much! Shout out to you for making people realize, what consequences rough comments and cyber bullying can cause. You showed that you're the opposite of a sore looser and what a competition is really about : having fun! That's a quality rarely found!

Loved the friendly competition, watched both vids and they are both super well done!

This was EVERYTHING. Jermer is a legend, mods are cute and chat are poggers

When you have already read the script from ant's video and know exactly what he's going to say

I usually watch the vods, but recently I've been binging your main channel videos while studying, you legit make me laugh so much and I love your positive vibes

What was just the most amusing thing I ever witnessed on a livestream. Props to you, your editors and Smallant. Really just enjoyed all the shenanigans on stream.

bro that twitch plays pokemon reference hits hard

This has been such an epic battle. This idea and execution has been amazing. Mad respect for not giving in, neither during the challenge or the grueling editing rush at the end.

What a great vid! And what a great stream it was to watch you make it!! You and Jermer really popped off with this one!! :)

Amazing video and I looooved the challenge you and ant took on! You're both amazing!

Hey man, really enjoyed the video and was really excited to see it even more after seeing SmallAnts. Love your challenge runs and friendly rivalry w SmallAnt and sad to hear people being dicks about something supposed to be some light fun. I can't always catch streams but always love watching your vids!

This video is sick, also congrats on getting signed to nrg!!!

Love seeing Pokémon challenges coming from you! Hope to see some more challenges soon

Really cool to see you introducing new stuff to the channel! Can’t wait to see more new challenges and other games too. Entertaining as always!

Great vid, loved both yours and smallants vid. But I hope you learned your lesson to never diss wooper again.

So cool to see this banter you guys are having, love both videos but you can feel this one is less "rushed" (compared to ant's video compared to his other ones)

This is genuinly a great video. i loved it. Please make more pokemon content like this. keep up the great work

Dude, Eric, thanks for all the work you do to put out great content! Love Pokémon - one of those classic games I grew up playing. This challenge was epic and hilarious 😂

Imagine not finishing in time to release this video while Tanner needed to record it first

Ant got the upload first and is generally better at video games, I’ll give him that. However, I find Crow’s content infinitely more entertaining. Ants got the skills to beat this in much less time, but I found crows video to be better on the entertainment factor. Both videos are worth watching, because they both have different reasons to be watched. The friendly rivalry is one thing, but to say crow is inherently better than ant or vice versa is just ridiculous, and only serves to prove how much of a child you are. Crow, you did great on producing a quality video, and Ant, you were greatly skilled in finishing this challenge before crow could edit and publish it. I have no idea if you will see this crow, but i appreciate the effort you and Ant both put in. Have a lovely day, and don’t let the children of the world prevent you from having fun :)

yo this was so amusing to watch. I saw Smallants video and had to come watch this one. i love your commentary!! new subscriber

it’s really cool to watch both videos and see the difference in strategy and overall video making

What 👏a 👏 video 👏 and what a nearly 19-hour stream that led us here. GGs, Jermer really deserved that nap

"So we teach lettuce League of ---- I mean we teach lettuce Toxic" As a league player, yes League is very much so the League of Toxicity.

It was really cool to see what different strategies you and SmallAnt used in different parts of the game. Nightmare was pretty cool, but Will o' Wisp was an especially good idea since burn also lowers the opponent's attack, letting you survive longer while they take damage over time. It also covers pretty much every Pokémon that Leech Seed and PoisonPowder/Toxic do not since there are no grass/fire or poison/fire types in this game. The Vulpix line learning Confuse Ray is an added bonus, so it would almost certainly be used on any future speedrun of this category, should anyone wish to run it.

Great video Crow! It’s cool to see the different strategies and commentary you and Ant came up with for the same challenge

watching the script be written and recorded on stream was so much fun lol

editing stream was fantastic!!!

Interesting editing format, and great job with it! I would like to hear more of your stream clips and I'd be down for longer videos from you. Thanks for the entertainment!

Great video! Saw both videos You/smant your rivalry really made it interesting! thanks for the quality vids!

I just realised it's been three minutes after the video was posted

The rules of this challenge are so funny to me for some reason "yeah, I'm not gonna directly hurt your pokemon, but if I poison them and they faint that sounds a lot like a them problem to me"

Genuinely I loved watching this video and Ants vid! Makes this twice as fun!

I love watching both you and SmallAnt as streamers and this act of rivalry was intense- I loved it! I know people are toxic so I hope you take care of yourself and keep having fun while giving us entertainment, love ya.

Bro why everyone is talking abt smallAnt just let my boy have fun

13:02 "We're about to run several marathons" *Skips* *timer shows 4 minutes less than before*

Wow Awesome Job Pointcrow, really enjoyed the whole rivalry! Loved your video so much too!

i love both yours and smallants content, you both did an amazing with the idea, keep up the good work.

Can we respect that this man streamed for a whole straight day for this.

a wild long-awaited pokemon video appeared!

Great video! can't wait to watch the editing vod when I get a chance I hope you've had a chance to get some rest after that

I switched between you and smants stream the whole day when the competition was going - the first time I've actually watched one of your streams! It was super fun. Great job on the video, I'm defo going to be binging through your youtube vids ☺️

Wooper sends his regards

Alternate title: 10 year old inflicts innocent animals with illnesses until they die

I watched a bunch of both you & smant’s streams for this & even though he beat you to uploading it was such a fun thing to witness happen! I really hope people stop being toxic because this was so enjoyable to see happen & I don’t want it to get too toxic.

It was really cool seeing the different strategies you and smallant both used!
