Pokémon, but I Can't Change Moves 

“I just lost to a random Pidgey” happens to the best of us man

team is so good they don't even need new moves 😎

"It's time for a rat battle." A _rattle_ , you mean? I'll see myself out.

Lt Surge: 'I just need to dig three times.' That's why it's called DUGTRIO!

Honestly relieving to see Michael as himself and not a seperate character

*Breaks into Team Rocket hideout* "Don't tell Grunty Boy". Later, *insults Articuno "Don't tell Team Sky*. The Continuity continues!

14:47 _Somewhere, on the back of a Rayquaza_ Team Sky Mikey: “I sense a disturbance in the sky”

The rival battle fail, the odd Pokemon,the references to other challenges,the bad puns they're all back

A playthrough challenge without a character? What a throwback! Not that I don't enjoy the bits, but it's nice to see you just do you every now and then.

8:46 Oh I'm totally telling Grunty Boi that you were in the Team Rocket Hideout.

“You chicken from the freezer section!” Had me rolling laughing

"I found a pikachu! dangit I'm an idiot!" I can relate to

":Can you beat pokemon fire red or leaf green without learning any pokemon any new moves technically no, uhh no pokemon learns surf by level up *ends video*":

MIkey singing the "Digga Tunnel" song from the Lion King 1/2 movie just solidified the reason he's my favorite Poketuber!

"Die please, or freeze! Okay, the Dragonite agrees!" I love the rhyming.

“Disable is clearly not 100% accurate” one time I missed a 100% accurate move twice in a row

Mikey plays pokemon in such a weird way. He uses legendary's, Items in battle, plays on switch mode... but also fights the champion severely under leveled this isnt a complaint at all just sort of pointing out that dudes got a unique energy

i JUST rewatched mikeys "which game is the best in each gen" videos so seeing him not go LeafGreen and then realize he cant have Starmie or Slowbro is really funny

Mickey actually almost being right about if it's not 100% accurate it's 50 is incredibly hilarious

Wow, knowing how frustrating the challenge in Emerald was, I didn't think you'd go at it again in FireRed EDIT: Also, I love how half of the team in the end were also used for the Emerald one XD

i find it funny how your rival's bird always get paralyzed by static and the one time it didnt it was from thunderbolt, end result was always getting paralyzed.

Mikey: Are you heavy Kanghakan? Probably not Also Mikey Later: Ooohh Kandhakan you’re probably heavy!

A NEW NO MOVES LETS GO!!!! I LOVE THIS PLAYTHROUGH

I find it funny that every Rival fight with Pidgeotto/Pidgeot against Pikachu/Raichu always involved a paralyze.

It’s nice to every now and then see the Mikey persona show up, be chill and entertain us all. While I find myself looking to every iteration of a play thru by any of our boi’s personas, it’s cool seein’ the OG. Thank you brotha. One of the few creators I genuinely look forward to the next release from! You the man…(men?)!

I hope Mikey continues doing these kinda challenges too. I love him and John together but I also loved watching his old playthrough videos and challenge videos as well so I’m glad he’s doing it

Hopefully nobody tries to apply this challenge to real life. "I try to speedrun College without learning anything new!" XD

I love the Low Kick dialogue with Kangashkan both times. Apparently it grew between fights.

LOVE THIS ALREADY 🙌 You should do this, but with a twist: Can you beat Pokémon with the 1st 4 moves it can get, BUT when it evolves it’s first 4 moves change

Mikey: “Tentacruel is probably going to die.” Tentacruel: “No, I don’t think so.”

Loving the new editing style! Makes it feel like we are along for the ride, and explaining your thought process helps us understand your choices! Very nice!

The sequel we never knew we needed.

4:46 this is the best thing I’ve heard all day

It's always refreshing to get back to gen 2, gen 3 or gen 4 games. They're my childhood and it will be great getting back to them in 50 years. Like that content. That Dugtrio in Diglett's cave always was a great cheat in Gen 1 and 3 I remember getting one every time. Very helpful when you were back in 2004, being 10 years old and no internet as guide (Im german and german internet sucks, in 2004 many people didn't have it. Many of you american, british, russian, asian or any other heritage would be shocked in which bad state internet in germany was back in that days and still is in some regions)

If someone is curious Starmie isn't good in this challenge because staryu learns bubble beam at level 28 and the highest level wild staryu before beating the League is level 25. And the best water move the slowpoke line learns by level up in FRLG is water gun and can't get psychic since it is learnt in level 40 and the highest level one in the wild is 35. So Tentacruel is still the best water type option in Leaf Green.

TL;DW - Yes, he can. What about a challenge, where "new moves" in FRLG means moves from Y, GSS, RSE? So only non-enhanced gen 1 moves.

HE FINALLY MADE ANOTHER ONE! My first video I watched of him was this but emerald and I really wanted another and he finally made it!

Fun fact in firered and leaf green charmander doesn’t have smokescreen as one of its first four moves so technically it may be a little better against Brock then originally thought because of metal claw as it’s actual fourth move. Bulbasaur is still probably the best option

4:44 🎵 "I'm selling TMs~!I'm selling TMs~! It feels really weird but I'm sellling TMs~!" 🎶

I did this challenge in leaf green after I saw the one you did in hoenn! My final team was raticate, machamp, alakazam, golem, articuno, moltres. Honestly, guts adamant raticate with hyper fang was the mvp

I like that we have a way to track if his team now, nice touch

You thought we would let you ditch your starter?!?!

Mikey saying "hello subscrb" made me laugh more than it had the right to

Weird idea, what about a play through thats the exact opposite? You must apply new level up moves and get rid of the oldest move for it. You would also not be able to use any TMs but youd have to be careful about over leveling and losing moves for less desirable moves. :D

I can always appreciate when my favorite pokemon gets some love in a playthrough. Especially when it winds up being a vital part of winning.

The Dugtrio thing was really cool because I found out about it, when I was around Ash’s age, in basically the same way. At the last chance I had to catch it, before I got swept, it went into the Poké ball. Kinda like “Tough luck kid, but hey, you’ve got guts, let’s see where this goes.”

2 minutes in and he somehow has had better nature luck than I’ve had my entire career.

Honestly I feel bad for him, u are determined

YESS THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SERIES PLEASE CONTINUE IN MORE GAMES

Whoever reads this comment I hope you have a blessed day

Hey, glad to see the playthrough challenges are coming back! Definitely some of my favorite things to watch on the platform!

I've done this in a bunch of games after watching your emerald playthrough, so glad to see you revisit the idea!

Could Mikey make a video where he plays as a not-very-effective activist? You can take it was you want, but it'd be really funny to see him yelling at every person who gives him advice on type matchups

Why were there no nicknames MICHAEL 🐷😔

I love these challenges. I know several RU-vidrs do them, but Mikey makes them extra fun!

I loved these MandJtv challenges. Great to see them back again

Been a while since this challenge, Make it into a series!

You learned your lesson from Turtle. 😂 (Even tho technically that was the normal type moves vid.)

Good vid style! Am concerned about how long you were playin in one session, but for this to be the same length as the challenge recap style vids, it’s good!

Mikey saying "atta girl" to his Tentacruel gives me more joy than it should

10:35 🦟

Bro isnt pregnant but delivers

26:30 I know from experience that love doesn’t stop someone from snoring loud enough to kill you.

Glad to see my boy- er… I mean *girl* in this playthrough!

If Mikey hits 1.5M he would have to do a solo drowsy run with a Miltank cosplay

I know this challenge was already done in Hoenn, but I’d love to see it in ORAS. Using the DexNav to get really good moves would be interesting to see and allow more Pokémon to be useful

Fun fact: The damage you deal actually scales _quadratically_ as your Pokemon levels up, because damage scales not just with a Pokemon's attacking stat, but also with its Level directly.

Excellent job on the edits Katie!

YES!!!! It is the glorious return of my favourite challenge that was ever uploaded on your Channel. I still remember when you did that in Pokemon Emerald. It was the first Video from your Channel that I ever saw. 😁😁😁🥳

This is such a unique challenge idea, I love it!

always enjoyed MandJTV and PM7s videos together seeing MandJTV make videos alone is always an enjoyment too! :D great vid, well played!

20:08 got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣. I love your playthroughs so much.

I love these videos man, do more Please!

Glad to see one of the older challenges appear again. Keep it up Mikester!

i just watched you doing this challenge in emerald and saw you did it again 🥳 love your videos!

Damn actually a really nice video and really calm but positive, surprised I never saw this channel before even with 1mil subs

I wish this video was sponsored so that grunty boi can jump out and catch Mikey beating up his boss

Wow. I think this is the first time in like four years I've seen you do a playthrough and not nickname the Pokemon. 😮 Super fun video as always though! I always have a good laugh whenever you post and certainly will like and stay subcribed

I really like these types of videos where you play through a game with a challenge.

Great run! It's always nice to see my favorite Pokemon be used all the way to endgame; I adore Raichu but it so rarely gets used in challenge runs,

Nice to see a chill playthrough challenge every once and a while

Hey man I have seen your videos from 1 year back I appreciate your work 🤝

Love your work dude

Keep up the awesome work and videos Mikey love the video

Fun Fact: FireRed is given all the exclusive Intimidate Pokemon, Ekans and Growlithe, while LeafGreen has all the Water/Psychic types, Starmie and Slowbro/Slowking. Leafgreen also has 1 more exclusive than FireRed, due to them using Wooper as the FireRed exclusive, which is comparative to Marill for Leafgreen, which gets Azurill as it's prequel. Firered however gets all the exclusive Steel types, Scisor and Skarmory

I just got done with a PT session that absolutely kicked my butt so this is making my day better

Enter the unown is where I first saw this kinda video! Glad to see mandj to this too!

1:49 “I FOUND A PIKACHU!!!!” Two seconds later “DANG IT I’M AN IDIOT!!!!” Relatable

Mikey really just randomly decided to do a second one of these after like 4 years

I just realized that Gary’s pidgeot has been fighting Mikey’s pikachu the entire time then he switched it for that pikachu with thunderbolt and evolved it and the pidgeot probably thought it was the same pikachu😂

"It's time for a rat battle" EPIC RAT BATTLES OF HISTORY! POKETUBER MICHAEL! VERSUS YOUNGSTER JOOOOOOOOOOOOOEY! BEGIN!

"No one tel Grunty Boi I was in here", would've been a perfect time for one of Grunty Boi's famous pop-ups.😂

RU-vid video: Can you beat Pokemon with [singular restriction]? Me (flatly): Yes. Pokemon is so ridiculously easy that you need at least four or five restrictions for any kind of challenge.

Very cool playthrough! Thank you Mikey!

I loved the original run of this, glad he’s doing it again

Mikey. Your really awesome and I LOVE that you post so much and really often and keep up the good work❤❤

"Don't tell Grunty Boi I was here." speaking of which where is the legend?

I really like how you put your team in the bottom corner. A small but great thing to add.

I love these kind of videos!!!!
