How many Pokémon do you need to beat the Pokémon Franchise? (Part 1) 

They said wouldn't use glitches to skips gyms since it would erase the point of the vídeo, he used the glitch TO acess a gym, plus It was a bonus run

Glitches always ruin these types of videos for me

Literally skips every gym in yellow.@@lulnara5128

The yellow footage was simply to show the glitch, not anything official within the challenge! I understand if you prefer glitchless runs, I will go over that in the next video!

He said he wouldn't use glitches to prevent skipping the whole game. I don't get these rule tbh, skipping HMs is the same like skipping gyms, if it was used for skipping the cut HM he could avoid nugget bridge, route 24, 25 and SS Anne. Also walking through walls can be used to skip the whole game. You either use glitches and the answer is zero for gen 1 or you don't use glitches and the answer is two. Going for something between feels weird and makes the whole thing super arbitrary from "How many Pokémon do you need to beat the Pokémon Franchise" to "How many Pokémon do you need to beat the Pokémon Franchise using glitches, but only a few, chosen for no apparent reason" . @@lulnara5128

I'm also one of those 7, that's why I got him in the thumbnail while I still could...

I'm with ya buddy

Gulpin Deez..

Kingler's sacrifice was not in vain! I will address this in the next video!

#JusticeForKingler

I even found some new favorites while making this video! Shoutout to the gen 2 credits theme

Gen 2 music hits completely differently, so much calm, so much mystery and adventure. This is peak pokemon music, the emotion it conveys in 8 bit is amazing

it's honestly a much more practical use for this feature than its intended purpose

If you want total across all games, why not use Charizard and Kingler? Then it's just adding Kingler or staying the same amount

I understand why people are interested in this idea, and I got conviced too! I'll have more info on this for the next video.

Yeah, a total number would be cool. In gen 1, this would likely mean either Charizard and Bulbasaur + Psyduck since Psyduck learns both Surf and Strength. Psyduck can be caught with the super rod, which is obtainable with just cut. With Yellow, you'd need Pikachu, pick the same starter (Charizard or Bulbasaur) for cut and then use a Psyduck for surf and strength again. Psyduck also learns whirlpool, strength and waterfall in gen 2 so you could use it alongside just Totodile who learns cut and surf, so you'd have only 4 total entries in gen 1 + 2. Psyduck is available in grass in crystal only, hence why you'd need Totodile for surf otherwise. Gen 3 doesn't add any pokémon in Kanto remakes, and Mudkip alone already learns all 5 required HMs. But ofc that gift Castform... Meaning gen 3 adds two for a total of 6. Gen 4... oof. You'll need 2 pokémon anyways because victory road infamously needs 5 HMs to conquer. In this case, Chimchar and Psyduck should have all tools to conquer victory road, and Psyduck is available super early in Oreburgh gate. Since the Johto remakes stay the same, this makes only one more addition in gen 4 for 7. Gen 5 only needs cut, so single stage starter suffices. B2W2 needs cut, surf and strength, so the same starter + Psyduck suffices, Psyduck once again being available super early in Floccessy Ranch. You also are required to catch the box legendary in BW. So 2 more for 9. In gen 6, Froakie alone can learn surf, strength, cut and waterfall, so not even a second pokémon neccessary. But you have a bunch of mandatory pokémon, like the Kanto starter (choose the same one), the Lapras, and the box legendary, so 3 additional ones (once again Hoenn can be done with Mudkip solo) for 12 total. Gen 7 has only the starter and no required gift pokémon, so one more for 13 total. Gen 8 has the Sinnoh remakes with only the starter (even though Cynthia would be hell...) and SwSh with no required gift pokémon, so one more for 14 total. Gen 9 has the starter and the box legendary for 2 more for 16 total. I chose Psyduck because Psyduck often can learn a *bunch* of HMs and is available in a ton of regions. I didn't write down mandatory eggs since you're not required to hatch eggs to avoid entries. So... tldr: Gen 1: Pikachu, Charmander or Bulbasaur, Psyduck -> 3 (3 total) Gen 2: Totodile -> 1 (4 total) Gen 3: Mudkip, gift Castform -> 2 (6 total) Gen 4: Chimchar -> 1 (7 total) Gen 5: Any starter, Box legendary -> 2 (9 total) Gen 6: Froakie, Lapras, Box legendary -> 3 (12 total) Gen 7: Any starter -> 1 (13 total) Gen 8: Any starter -> 1 (14 total) Gen 9: Any starter, Box legendary -> 2 (16 total) Two more possible entries I'm unsure on are Mega Lucario (I think you can refuse him and he waits?) and the dreamyard monkey in BW being mandatory, but otherwise, the list is surprisingly small. Unless I missed a bunch, which I'd be happy to hear.

Really appreciate it, friend! I hope the next part won't disappoint!

6 days later, almost at 1000 subs lol I'm one of em, great work

Thank you so much, hopefully part 2 will be out soon!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the next parts too!

Thank you! I wanted to make sure people knew where to learn more, as well as how to make their own videos!

Even with 130 views I was already surprised with how many people took time out of their days to watch this video :) Thank you for your kind words!

Really? Must be a fast growing channel then.

@@RealLifeTutorialYou've grown a lot in the last week congrats!

I was also leaning more towards that option!

Thank you, all the support means a lot!

I had considered trading, but it slipped my mind to mention it in this video... I will fix this in the next one!

Thank you! From what I've done so far, the DS games turned out to be surprisingly interesting for this challenge!

@@RealLifeTutorial I would imagine, I remember the mandatory legendaries from Gen V but that’s about it.

Thank you! Gen 4 is gonna be crazy!

I'm pretty sure Sketch isn't possible to roll with Metronome, there's a few moves metronome won't roll in each gen I think

Yeah, I talked more about the Castform since it was the moment we were forced to take a second Pokémon, but Tate and Liza are a much bigger roadblock since we couldn't have skipped it even if we had the ability to...

Thank you, I'm happy to hear that!

Thank you, I'm glad so many people liked it!

Thank you so much! Here are the sprites I've done so far: i.imgur.com/JHvUzya.png

A valid suggestion that I will bring up in the next one!

Interesting results! I have only done some general research into the later games, so I'm not sure how many they will take for me, but maybe I'll be able to save 1 or 2 Pokémon somewhere!

+ in Black 2/White 2 we need only Surf for the Team Plasma Ship (south on the city with water badge)

@@wznak you still need strength to get to the Crustle blocking the path to the plasma frigate, and you need three slots anyway because of Charles in Driftveil (triple and rotation require three slots in the party)

@@Pika250 yeah, i forgot that triple battle was mandatory. Strength, i always forgot that i must have too. So, sorry for misleading.

Yes, I'm leaning more towards doing both of them myself!

Thank you! I have begun working on the next video already!

Thank you so much for the support, it means a lot!

I agree that a minimal Pokédex-like challenge is super interesting, and I will bring it up on the next video! Thank you for the kind words!

Appreciate it, friend! :)

Back when I was a kid I always waited to catch most of my Pokémon at victory road since that's the place with the most powerful ones...
