How Speedrunners Broke Pokemon Moon 

Cool video

noom blast

I just love how you keep calling Hau "Hop" when you mentioned his name. lol

😊😊0pp

You can't ignore your mistake forever, Pulse.

I did this to all my mons

He deserves all the pets in the word

Somtimes ftiendship is indeed power.

You have to. It’s important no matter what

popplio is the silliest little guy, he must know

"Page rider" too lol

Alolan hop

@@badwithusernames3238 nah, hop is galarian hau

Lahprahs

this makes me slightly more upset with "unfinished licenced pokemon game" for not letting galarian hau take a W. lmao.

Lol, I didn't even catch it the first time but he might as well be Hop

Tbf they're roughly the same guy. There's a reason people don't like Hop.

@@Clairavoya I mean Hop is just Galarian Hau

@@N12015 they both suck

Hop, Hau, and Nemona are basically the same annoying character lol.

Probably slower

@@ethanfolz1370 What's shown in the video is them stopping to shuffle at the corner. That seems a lot slower than just running without stopping.

I think it was just trying to be as far left as possible

i've only played sun once but that sounds right that it might be inconsistent, which would make it okay for TAS (tool assisted speedrun, like with save states and stuff) but not too viable for RTA (real time attack)

​@@quinntessentialskill7414 shut up

Hahahaha truuuue

Everyone knows winning against Hop isn’t worth it, you try against good trainers

Love to see that on a bell curve

*Sad Hau noises*

alolan hop

For real! I think GameFreak really just wanted us to grow attached to our Pokemon. 😂

@@PulseEffects I am. I really hope they let us transfer up all 1k pokemon through either DLC or (unlikely) free additions to the dex. I have had 6 or 7 shiny pokemon held hostage in Home for years now.

@@Benzinilinguine send then to galar or hisui

@@Autokendo17 I skipped Arceus. I think the only "spin-off" I bought was Let's Go.

​@@Benzinilinguine Big mistake, Arceus is 100% worth your time. Much more than Let's Go, anyway

Lmao didn't notice

just shows how little you think of him, and how similiar to Hop he is

"Noom Blast"

They empower a kick with psychic power befoire making contact. GameFreak make it bloody happen please.

medicham signature move?

@@ttmfndng201 i would hope that they distribute it to more pokémon than just medicham but if anything it'd probably be medicham's signature move

Hop = Hau

Took me until the victory road fight to realise he was saying Hop. I'm assuming it's intentional given the move name typos seeming intentional as well. (Noom Blast, PsyKick, etc.)

@@pokelordomega2414 nah Hau is based unlike Galarian Hau

They're both interchangeable to be honest although Hau has the benefit of being more likable

I dunno. Hau is pretty laid back and is just enjoying the journey, while Hop is dealing with depression from losing too many times.

So fun fact, that section of the run has since been removed! It was a silly part of the run and I'm glad it's gone.

@@PulseEffects I don't know how it ever got included in the first place

Yeah, it's boring for the viewers, boring for the runners, there's no showcase of skill to speed up that portion... No good reason to include IMO. @@justsomewheel9379

Sleep with it.

its cause decidueye is sick as hell

@@mothlure and incineroar scares vgc players to this day

The recognition it... DESERVES?! PEOPLE SLEEPING ON IT?!?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! THAT THING ENDED UP STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT FROM DICIDUEYE(AND the incinaroar too really)! yea... rowlet WAS the most popular out of the box... but then what happened? their final evolutions happened. . . that's when people got to see the stats. . . POPPLIO then ended up being the more loved one going forward. . . . there was even a time where it even managed to steal ou... primirina's amazing typing combined with its amazing move pool AND getting it with hp fire... it was a cannon the completely decimated all of ou.... though, it then had a falling out at some point. people then just stopped using it. don't really know what had actually happened, but it appears it ended up succumbing to power creep, the metta ended up changing AGAINST it and it ended up being less favored. The recognition it deserves... yea right. . . . I ended up hating popplio with a passion for what it ended up doing to my favorite... rowlet. . . of course, I kinda ALREADY disliked it from right out of the box(together with MANY others at the time), but what popplio did... was PERSONAL. . . and it just ended up being my most HATED starter than any other from ALL games so far... for even as good as it was... I NEVER used it simply out of spite. . . The fact it ended up being used in speed runs was NEVER a reality check for people to have suddenly realized just how good it was... its a reminder. . . . and a never-ending KICK in the nads to EVERYONE who was on the "Team Rowlet" boat... like me. . . . . Though, what I found REALLY funny about ALL of this was. . . Incinaroars inclusion to smash bros ultimate. this series usually tends to nominate POPULAR characters from the pool of games that each fighter hails from. litten(being my SECOND favorite btw, so people please put down your torches and pinch forks, lol)was the UNDERDOG of the popularity contest... its ALMOST as if they WEREN'T paying any attention to EVERYTHING that happened with the popularity poles that happend in the sun and moon games and just went with incinaroar just cuz... he looked cool. of course... being a pokemon that was based off of a wrestler-type figure, yes he was the best pick. but it was REALLY WEIRD because it FEELS like they picked him under the assumption that that was the one they THOUGHT was the most popular... it was more like they were saying "Popplio... Rowlet?! NO DUMB, DUMBS! THIS was the one you should have loved the most!". so this choice was just completely biased in general... litten WASN'T the most popular... it was rowlet. . . then popplio just came along and ended up usurping them both in the end(lmao).

​@@TheDeepThinker-sq3iy who hurt you

Also when he showed moon blast it says "noom blast"

Same! My team was: Incineroar Gumshoos Gyarados Alolan muk Alolan persian Alolan dugtrio

youtubers say pokemon names wrong on purpose so you comments and the video gets boosted.

Made me pause the vid to find this comment.

To be fair, pronunciation in English is an unholy abomination.

Arcneena

Lepras and Lugigi, the best fighting pokes

And yet wrote Psykick in the psychic tm breakdown

Called Hau Hop

Studying the game is literally the number one thing everyone does in a speedrun,what did u expect?

sarcasm?

Hello, PMD fan (Y'know, unless you like Chatot for different reasons)

@@CynningSeline I'm interested in PMD rfor that reason but I just like Chatot because they're the best Pokemon, and my favourite, too.

Honestly I've always considered it my least favorite of the three starters

@@BitterHeart51 fool. wrong. bad. hater. numbskull.

@@JoelTheParrot I don't hate it I just like the wrestling cat and archer owl better then princess seal

Gen 2?

bw2! fire red! ultra moon! let's go pikachu/eevee :D

Let's Go or HG/SS Manipless 👀

The Sword/Shield run at GDQ a few years ago (or maybe just one year?) was pretty great, so would love an explained for that!

Omega ruby/alpha sapphire

clearly just in the postgame, trying to finish the dex

I used a Master Ball on a Pelipper back in Ruby 12 years ago.

What about when my masterball fucking FAILED? I thought they were guaranteed catches. Nah this thing just popped back open. Should have seen my jaw drop.

Oh and just for you to know, the end cards are in the wrong place :)

btw you should do how do speedrunners speedrun bw2 one day that would be sick

Alolan Hop

@@abacussonkus8964 other way around, it’s Galarian Hau

@@healgoth but isn't gen 7, where hau is, alola? Meaning he would be alolan hop?

I mean, the title never specified glitches or hax, that's on you for assuming. Broken can also mean, just abusing game mechanics making it "broken"

@@TimothyGod that’s fair, I think I’m just too used to seeing a spiffing Brit title saying “I broke the game” and him absolutely shredding the game to pieces using glitches and exploits. He didn’t really exploit anything in this video tbh. But yeah, ig that’s on me lol

@@TimothyGod A vanilla playthrough isn't "breaking" anything. I feel baited too. 🤦‍♀️

Not a speedrunner but I don't think so, considering you'd have to sit through the shaking Pokéball animation and mash through all the post-capture textboxes (Pokedex entry etc.)

MOOM

Lead Brionne and then switch on the Solar Blade

That's been thought of. Dieing is too slow unfortunately.

@@PulseEffects ah unfortunate
