One time I leveled larvitar from 5 to 100 at the beginning route (can't remember how long it took) but I would like to do another challenge the pikasprey's softlock with larvitar Edit: also congratulations on completing the g/s/c oak challenge ^^
@@Pimpmedown In my HG nuzlocke, (don't ask me why I have a Graveler) I was able to clear out the Clefairy and Miltank using Quilava (Linkle) (Female), and Graveler (Yumi) (Female). SoulSilver was different since I have Bayleef (Lomax) (Male), and Rocky (Female), it's almost the same result.
About catching both box legends in a single game, Emerald lets you catch Groudon and Kyorge in the post game :) but yeah pokemon needs to do that more and do away with two versions
Dude this whole run insane, the first part with the berries is the worst self inflicted masochistic level torture i've ever seen in these challenges.. and i'm a full odds shiny hunter. You've got yourself a new subscriber, good job!
If you ever do a Johto run again, here's a little secret, immediately after releasing the beasts head west to the route with grass, you will always encounter one, that you can use the Pokedex to track it. The route on the way to the moo moo farm.
My head cannon is that a fair number of gen 1 pokemon are actually native to Johto, not Kanto. There are a handful that are exclusive to the safari zone - where you would go to see something exotic - or are a one off through a trade.
@@marnixmaximus3053 Pinsir, Scyther, Tauros, and Farfetch’d were the ones I had in mind, since they are catchable in the wild in Johto. Even though the bugs are in the park, a national park seems like preservation and exhibition of native wildlife or geography.
@@dittmar104 Also aviable in the wild in sinnoh now. And iirc they are canonicaly in the wild in yellow and let's go atleast, just not case for gameplay.
I actually wanted to attempt this, and I tried it on an emulator. I knew about the berry tree for moon stone part, but I thought that won't be a problem. It was, I didn't realize berries only sell for 5 poke dollars. So I quit, even though I was using an emulator and changing my computer's clock, which was faster than changing the game's clock. So I can't imagine how painful your experience must have been.
First time seeing ur channel and wanna say the editing, style of script, and general layout of this vid are excellent. Succinct and clear commentary of everything. Cheers!
great video!! seeing Johto in these games always brings up good feels.. also your Pickup Squad method is awesome! utilizing it rn on a new run of Pokemon Shield congrats on getting so many subscribers, hope you get hundreds more! 👍👍👍
That's an insane level of commitment and sanity you possess. I would have quit hour 2 into collecting the berries at the very start. Props, you've definitely earned a new subscriber
Never watched you channel before but I was eating meatballs while browsing recommended and saw your name so I thought it would be fitting. Good video I subbed
You could speed up a bit the hunting of the roamers, getting the first one right off the bat after awakening them. immediatly after they are freed do the following: 1-save 2-dig or escape rope out of burned tower 3-go out to the route south or west of ecruteak 4- repel with a pokemon first in your party that is higher level than the normal wild pokemon in the route you are but lower than lvl 40 (preferrably faster than the lvl 40 roamers and with a trapping move) 5- run into the grass until you either get the roamer or you don't. if you don't reset and repeat. you can pretty easily and consistently get one roamer immediatly with this method, as they flee and go to any of the adjacent routes
This time you had the Dragonair to grind, but same thing applies in Crystal and GS, you can get to Route 44 as soon as you GET 7 badges, just cannot fight Clair until clearing rockets, for extra things to grind.
I wish people doing these challenges would just complete the whole dex and allow trading for the pokemon that require it to evolve... I want to see the dialogue when you have the completed dex lol
Congratulations on hitting 100k chaotic!!! You deserve it! Great content!! Keep up the phenomenal work. Always enjoy when a new video drops. And best of luck with your Shiny POC in let’s go!!!
God this POC looks like hell. I'm about 2/3s of the way through a Red POC, and I thought the 4% safari mons and Dragonite were bad, but they're nothing on this. Very impressive.
My hand automatically went towards the "plus" key on the keyboard to ease my suffering. I see there's still some muscle memories from the late 90's playing using NO$GMB.
Completed this challenge just today myself. It took me 139:39. At first, I was floored that I beat it in nearly half the time it took Johnstone. I was thinking “Was my emulator running differently or something?” or “Did I do something wrong?” But after seeing your time, nah, I guess I was just decently efficient.
The tree grinding just seems so excessive. Like I know the point of a POC is to be tedious, but the 9 hours of berry farming is just too much to me. I feel like that should be an exception. Also you can't tell me that it's actually faster to grind 300 apricorns than to just gamble for the coins you need. GSC made the slots a lot easier to game. If you get somewhat good at timing the reel stops, you could easily get the coins you need in less than an hour.
Dude, congratulations on 100K man! I looked at the subscriber count as you mentioned it, only 8 hours after premiere, that's super cool man! Can't wait to see what you decide to do for Subscribers special or other celebratory stuff. Congrats again man, you totally deserve it~
If this wasn't enough work, some day you should do the same challenge with no cap on when species need to evolve, just catch every species between the gym leaders, and do all the leveling at the end of the game to see how much faster it is lol
I was wondering why he wasn't doing that. If it was to get the fastest time, no way is evolving dnite pre Whitney fast. Would have been way faster if he leveled in victory road or Mt silver.
@@svx4401 my guess would be to keep them all consistent as that seems to be one of his rules - finish the evolutions before the gym leader. I think it's a rule that has wasted alot of his time over these challenges though lol
@@Mega11683 sorry - I am unfamiliar with the history of the POC, how it came about, and/or why this rule is the way it is. I think it's a silly rule irregardless
Hi, i recently found your channel, and I have to say, this is one of the most interesting concepts that I've seen in a while! One question... are you planning on doing another hackrom in the future? Because I think it would be interesting to see you attempting drayano's sacred gold or storm silver, since those rom hacks have pokedex completion challenges
aaaaaahhhhh i love your videos sm!!!! maybe for a side vid you could see how long it takes for you to get all the unown variations even tho you dont anything from it.
Finding the 3 beasts took me probably at least 18 hours of using repel trick and running in grass etc. Followed every guide on the internet and they just would not show up
Gust is a Flying-type move in Gen 2 already. Pidgey could've handled Sprout Tower, I think. Hell of a run. Can't believe you farmed so many Berries. The Apricots were neat... I had no idea they sold for so much. Also your fortitude for putting up with not one, not even two, but three roamers, that takes congratulating! I can't even stand finding ONE of them, lol. 12:20 Headbutts are brutal! Bryan Danielson still does them periodically, but he's cut down a lot. A few years ago a Japanese wrestler (Katsuyori Shibata) had to retire due to a severe brain bleed after a headbutt (like others, it was a signature move of his), although he seems to be possibly coming back soon, and is a trainer now.
What this guy does is so cool and BY THE WAY WHYY DOES CHAOTIC MEATBALL STILL DOESN'T HAVE 1M SUBSCRIBERS come on guys we can give him 1M subs By the way im a big fan of your work Mr. Chaotic Meatball
....There have been other Pokemon generations that let you catch both box legendries. You just won't get a special reward if you have legendaries from different versions as it can tell if both came from the same version.
is it against the rules to keep your todadile a todadile till level 28 then evolve so you dont need as much xp to level up? and do the same with all the other pokemon who have 2 evo?
Totodile needs just as much Exp to get to 30 as a Croconaw, and its the same with all Pokemon. The evolution trade off is earlier moves vs higher stats.
the post evolving level boost was added in gen 6, so it wouldn't work on gen 2 games, and no, that's not against the rules to keep a pokemon unevolved past their evolution level
Just to think outside of the box does anybody think grinding to find a lucky egg on chanseys would be a good idea? I know the odds on chansey are slim and then finding one with a lucky egg even slimmer but I would think with the repel trick getting that egg would make up some time for grinding
@@eyalinbar4845You can get one every Sunday. Simply change the in game clock to Sundays and you're making 500 a reset instead of 5. This wouldn't speed up the in game time, but would certainly speed up real time!
@@eyalinbar4845 He needs it to evolve jigglybuff which he caught early and he CAN get the money through the berries so in the spirit of the challenge he has to do it this way.
