In this video I am going to rebuild Naoto Mizobuchis 2019 world championship winning team. My goal is to see how difficult it would be to make a team without using hacks or glitches. Getting Pokemon in older games was very difficult before nice modern changes, but really, did any of those matter in Sun and Moon? Or the ultra games?

Seriously, people talk a lot about how gen 5 is incredibly dialogue centric and stuff but in practice is not a big deal due to how consise the dialogue was; if anything the game is SHORTER for some reason, maybe due to movility and fast combat. Gen 7 on the other hand is just not replayable.

@crppledizzle9374 Год назад

About the Gen 7 GTS: A hacker named Japan.Kebuju had figured out an exploit with the trainer profile picture you can take for your passport. By zooming the camera out ridiculously far, the pfp requires the 3DS to render far more volume than it can handle, and it completely crashes the system. The hacker then went and put pokemon in the GTS for a lot of common requests, like starters, in order to completely deny people from completing their dex. Really shitty behavior. If you're trying to complete the dex, there is another hacker who can help. Someone by the name DeadCNS will always give shiny variants of whatever pokemon you request, in exchange for a litten. If you don't have a litten, you might need to wonder trade until you find one.

@imablisy Год назад

Thanks for the info. It's really annoying lol. In the example footage I found, I actually found real trades. But at the start of the challenge, before I played Ultra Sun, I checked to see and I ONLY got the crashing groudons. I thought, well, this feature is fucked, guess I gotta play 2 frickin games lol.

To anyone who's curious, the gen 7 GTS has been broken for YEARS. From what I've heard it's because of someone who registered a hacked Mon of every species or almost ever species and if you bump into them on the GTS your game will crash, I don't remember how but back in 2020 I was able to trade for all the version exclusives, but if you gotta use that GTS I wish you luck lol

Love how imperative Elgyem is to the entire team-building process, with regards to Legendaries - nice to see my favorite Pokémon shine in such a unique way. 💞👽 It's a shame that Synchronize doesn't have the out-of-battle effect anymore (along with so many other abilities, except the Egg-hatching ones). I know it's a lot easier to change natures now, but there was something so engaging and fun about being able to control the natures of wild encounters yourself. I'm glad that Mints are a thing, don't get me wrong, but I don't think Synchronize's application is completely obsolete, especially if you don't want to grind out cash or breed for random natures until you get the one you want. 😭

@imablisy Год назад

I agree, I liked synchro a lot too.

@kartiksaraf4676 Год назад

I would actually love to see what catastrophic mistakes you can make while training. Eg. give one wrong EV and spend a bunch of time hunting the berry to reduce it. Or maybe deleted a move that now needs additional items to remember. BTW, I think you can buy heart scales for 1000 pokedollars

@PinkFreakCrystal Год назад

As the last gen that you sometimes needed certain HPs on Pokemon, SRing for a my event shiny Tapu Lele for HP Fire was an absolute NIGHTMARE. And this wasn't even RNG, it was SRs. I'm both sad yet relieved that HP is no longer in the game but regardless comp in gen 7 was both grindy and frustrating, esp with the minigames and forcing myself to use festival plaza to reek the benefits of lottery, AND SRing/Breeding for certain HPs for coverage strats. I'm glad yer covering gen 7 and how grindy it really is cause goddamn Sword/Shield made things a BREEZE, same with SV.

The thing about pokejobs is that you can only access it through the pokemon center, and it was pretty dependant on the type of job to ev traing a pokemon effectively, otherwise you had to reset to get the job you wanted, it was more fast to ev train with vitamins. The ability to open the pokepelago anywhere and to harvest berries was honestly the Best feature out of it, and the thermal waters help me alot with happiness dependent evolutions as well with spare eggs while shiny hunting, it just felt that it could have expanded the pokepelago concept but they didn't and just let the pokejobs there

With Gen 8 and 9, I've gotten more into it again, but I'm so out of practice I'm scared to make a fool of myself in competitive. But I did train up some Pokémon for the first time in a while. I hope these games continue to become more accessible to people like me, who just can't get the time commitment.

I recently replayed Sun and was VERY frustrated by the GTS hacking issue. I searched online and found the solution: a cheat, that force-replaces everyones profile pic with your own (the reason why the game freezes is the hacker basically bricking their profile in such a way, to freeze when the game tries loading it). Smacked that on and boom the GTS functions again! (still gotta watch those no/modified description hackers though) I managed to finish my dex and am now Masuda-hunting a Greninja. Still is pretty egregious how the Gen 6 and 7 trades are left that broken.

I love how even though Ultra Warp Ride is incredibly inefficient when compared to standard Legendary encounters, getting the gen 7 team is still leagues faster than the gen 6 team, not because of any improvements that happened between games but only because we didn't have to RNG manip a bloody event Raichu. I do love Sun and Moon's story, but the pacing definitely makes it more difficult to replay and it would be real nice if you could skip more of the cutscenes. Considering that gen 9 gives you a second box legendary, those games don't have any single encounter version exclusives, but we don't have the DLC, so we won't know if Gamefreak has kicked that habit until then.

Just cause you brought up shiny hunting. I'd love to share my story with shiny hunting in Ultra Sun in particular. I am currently 40+ phases into a hunt for the level 9-12 salamence on Route 3 Bagon can call in. I have the shiny charm and have to SOS to have a chance to see it. I have been hunting on and off for almost 2 years. Odds with the shiny charm are roughly 1/1365 and go up the longer a chain is. But Salamence is a 1% spawn so I'm looking at worst 1/13650. Shiny hunting is rough.

@MINTY_FN 5 месяцев назад

I think it's also worth noting that this whole setup is for a single VGC team. Like, you have to jump through all of these hoops just to replicate a team somebody used in VGC successfully. A team that high level players will be very aware of and not only do competitive metas shift constantly, Pokemon changes the VGC rules every season. You have very little ability to modify this team once it's built outside of EVs and moves. Ability capsules cost a lot of BP, Ability Patches didn't exist yet, and mints didn't exist yet. This wasn't a one time thing if you wanted to play competitive Pokemon in Gen 7. Things are easier now (mints exist, ability capsules and bottle caps are reasonably easy to obtain, PP ups can be bought, ability patches now exist, egg moves don't require breeding, and hyper training can be done at level 50) but it still requires a lot of grinding raids and the like (especially for tera shards) and 0IV stats continue to be an absolute shit show to obtain. GF needs to do at least 1 of 2 things (preferrably both): 0 IV bottle caps for trick room Pokemon and special attackers, and (ideally) have a Showdown style team builder for official tournaments. If a Pokemon is possible then you can have it in your team. Just navigate a menu and build it. Cut the concept of hacking out of the competitive space by simply making it irrelevant.

Regarding easy bottlecaps, as mentioned the first day of a reset will always net you the 2nd place item in the treasure shop. But I noticed that after resetting the 3ds time, you'll be unable to use it for a day, but you'll also reset the rewards for the next day, meaning you can farm passively at least 1 silver bottlecap every 48 hours without the need for FC. Well I managed to snag a few 5* shops as a day one players on both, so I secured the treasure shop with the gold bottlecap (have won it 3 or 4 times)

The exclusiveness of pokemon created from the financial barrier of having to own multiple games is a huge part of what inspired me to start my game collection to help others. I own nearly every pokemon game that you can get exclusives from, from gen. 3 to date. With Ruby, American Colloesum with bonus disc, Black 2, and White 2 being the exceptions, for now. I even went as far as to aquire the Japanese version of Colloseum with the Bonus disc for Celibi and a copy of Ranger that still let me get a Manophy egg. Definitately one of my more expensive hobbies to break into.

As someone who played VGC through all of USUM and continues to today, I think these games were probably the best for making teams without hacking. The SOS EV method can be extremely fast all things considered cause if you aren't going to spend money on vitamins, it is much faster. As you mentioned the BP grinding from mantine surf was fun and easy and not time consuming. But the real thing that was sorely missing from SWSH for 6 months and currently missing from SV was Poke Pelago giving you an efficient and easy method to reset EV's on mons you've already trained. I can't stress how painful grinding for these berries was pre IoA from SWSH. And you're right, playing these games every day gave you excellent ways to passively get caps and all that good stuff.

@imablisy Год назад

This is definitely not the best. SV and SWSH are far faster and less painful than this.

@cameronnegrete5006 Год назад

@@imablisy I disagree because dynamax adventures have huge issues for SWSH. They are extremely time consuming and are EXTREMELY disincentivizing to make any trick room team featuring a legendary mon with 0 speed or 0 attack mons. Lets not even talk about Staks with attacking boosting IV's, which I will guarantee were all gened in natdex and gs for SWSH. This alone makes USUM better because while ultra warp ride will be time consuming it will in theory be less time consuming than doing dynamax adventures for some of these mons. Staks in particular was appalling odds. Zygarde was also problematic because of the difficulty in beating it. SV doesn't have the legendary issue yet. There might be hope that legendary methods get easier, but I'm not hopeful. We've been going downhill since gen 6. The Ability patches though are a huge pain. 4% on a difficult 6 star raid? Pain. Tera shards? More pain. Neither of these give me hope. I think taking the whole picture of the game is important. SWSH locked your ability to create teams if you hadn't played a previous gen because dynamax adventures were so stupid for some of these mons. USUM did not do this and everything was "manageable". This is why I prefer USUM, not to mention how easy egg rng was that gen.

Your conclusion proves further to me that people like you and me would have seriously important societal roles in the Pokemon world: breeders. And really, if we didn't have computers to make a lot of these games easier, I believe that competitive battlers would come to people like us for their Pokemon and compensate in some way with better breeding individuals or cash or something like that. People don't want the market to take form lol (though I get it, it's not a game most people want to spend 100 hours in, but still).

Thank you for enlightening me as to why after I finished my fist Pokemon legitimately (aka not on an emulator but on native hardware which is Moon) I felt so little engagement after I finished the game and even barely bothered with the Ultra Beasts afterwards. Also why I felt so fearful of going into the Battle Tree with my story mons.

@SpectreXS Год назад

Very good point on the usefulness of bottle caps. RNG absolutely trumps both legendaries and breeding, especially due to how practical it is to get the initial seed. I've done both methods rng-less and the time sink is massive. Breeding has quite a bit of variance, and the time adds up from starting with only a 4-IV Ditto and getting to the point where you have 5-IV males from different egg groups, or the very rare 6-IV (which will only be of 1 or 2 groups). Sometimes you get it quick and sometimes you get absolutely rolled into not even being able to replace parents into two 5IV ones, or a 5 and a 4. All the time this entire process take, you're undoubtedly better off RNG breeding or at least RNGing a ditto from gen 4 or 5. Also cool find of that 10y old post of the person talking about bringing RNG'd mons to a vgc tourney. You can optimize grinding legendaries to L100 by doing 5 at a time all with lucky eggs (+rainbow beans etc of course). You will need the framework to get those, like I did training several physical Butterfrees from poke pelago to get the lucky eggs. For a 1-team video it's too slow, but long term it's good... ...STILL, the grind up to the full 100 takes too long. Beyond level 60 or so, you'll need to mind-numb yourself task-overlapping with something IRL or entertainment, because it just never ends. Not to mention getting the bottle caps! You either optimize the festival plaza stuff (which I couldn't find any good step by step guide), or you're stuck with like 2-3 caps/hr by fishing with a lead such as Sticky Hold Trubbish holding a smoke ball. With the ever so rare gold cap from pelago for non-trick room physical mons. To think that it's yet another team from the alleged "game freak made things much easier! I can make a team in like an hour" generations and it still took 10s of hours WITH good rng manips, it's crazy. All of this for a character select screen with extra steps. Pokémon is stuck at the same barrier of entry issues since the 2000s and props to you for being one of the only people who point this out.

I'm not sure whether it was omitted because it wasn't pertinent to the topic of the video, but the GTS freezing is a known issue, because someone modded their system and has put up a bunch of trades, but because there's something with their profile that the game has difficulty rendering, it's almost impossible to get anything going on the GTS because of that

@antarcticite472 Год назад

Really interesting video. I have TONS of experience of playing USUM and SM casually and tbf, all you said about slow story and terrible mechanics they implemented are 100% true. The worst part imho was how the energy orbs became scarcer as you went further the wormhole, so you'd get sucked in the random ass portal (I suppose it was done as to not "exploit" the shiny hunting or sth similar), getting the wrong Poke and having to start it all over again. I once (llke 10 months ago) actually tried to build a competitive team out of my favs like Xurkitree, Guzzlord, Incineroar etc (yeah, I know not the best aside from the cat thing), but gave up a week or so after trying to RNG manipulate a good Xurk and farming items😵‍💫. I mean, I was still learning RNGing the stuff (I still suck at it lol) and maybe that was pathetic of me but honestly, if playing USUM casually will drive you insane due to how slow the game is, competitive building will end you up in an asylum. I appreciate your videos as they show what actually goes on bts of competitive building. Amazing as always.

The GTS worked fine for me back then, the real problem was that some hackers did stupid things with it (Like wanting a male magnemite or a level 1 Raikou) and since only they are the ones that are left they probably used a sort of glitch to make the game crash. Back in the sun and moon days I really enjoyed GTS and it also worked, its just that sun and moon are basically dead right now and nobody uses it anymore

@netherwarrior6113 Год назад

Ultra moon is my favorite game, and now I now how to build a competitive team. Only thing that sucks is I lost about 100 Pokémon in my dex to a save error and gonna have to recatch them all first Edit: The gts crashing is from inserted glitch Pokémon and most of them are from an account named Japan.Kebuji. A way to get around this by asking for a Groudon and depositing a Pokémon and it should be traded in under 24 hours. The main problem with that though is you will most likely get a hacked shiny which kinda ruins the fun

I remember i got a lvl 76 JP emolga in b/w (probably from someones actual team) after wanting one really bad as a kid but not being able to find it, i was so happy and thankful i eventually got it up to lvl 100 lol, whoever traded me was a real one. I hope it wasn't as broken at launch cuz those kids would be missing out on the fun, was such a great feature.

You know, I can't help but think that the competitions would be a lot healthier if unbreedable pokemon were just flat-out banned. Then you can only use pokemon that can be bred, and thus the only real limit to enter is taking the time to breed the right nature/stats/egg moves. I'll never understand why legendaries are allowed anyway, they create an unhealthy metagame where most pokemon can't compete.
