Pokemon But I Only Care About Getting Insanely Rich 

When is the Q-nuzlocke (Quzlocke)?

No.

and that, my friends, is where being a pokemon millionaire is different than being a real one. To be a REAL millionaire, you _start_ with 60 friends... and then one by one you throw them all under the bus for the sake of profit 🤗

While fake-grinding up Meowth, did you minimize your attack EV's? That would raise the chance of needing more hits further. And for the later battles, wouldn't it just have been better to use 6 Meowths, or eventually Persians?

I didn't know about this but I've been playing pokemon emerald with mostly bug types (just cause I like em) and I have a money theme. Cash, Money, Dollar, Yen, Change, and the Unnicknamed Shedinja beat Flannery this morning

​@@popeval6654 You should name the Shedinja Charon or Obol (in reference to charon's obol) since it relates to the coin you place on a dead person so they can pay the ferryman to cross the River Styx. You can probably guess why it would be for Shedinja

​@@popeval6654...how did you beat flannery, a fire type gym, with shedinja...was yer shedinja just...very fast?

@@WevTheGamma IIRC because shedinja only has one HP originally any item that operates like sturdy made it indestructible, this would be patched in later games

@@d3str0i3r wait...that worked in hoenn????-

All the better if you can manage to get its attack lowered by six stages, probably through Baton Pass.

Ah, but a level 100 Meowth with the lowest attack might not be able to get through Giovanni or Bruno. I think to maximize Paydays, you would need to determine what the lowest possible level is that you can beat any given battle while using exactly your PP in Payday, barring crits.

You will also want max defence and heath Iv and ev’s to survive long enough

Use 6 Meowths too.

@@nickbourgade8473 That might require more Meowths, though.

Not even a pre-gen4 monoFighting run?

@@ceulgai2817 I dunno lol. Didn't think too much about it

@@ceulgai2817fighting types learn other mobes tho

@@rubutu8408 Mostly Normal moves when it comes to physical attacks.

@@ceulgai2817 most learn dark type moves, and if the fighting pokemon has another typing. So foresight isnt even useable with fighting type monolocke

In AUD it would be about $21,457.38

Well for a kid 20k does seems like 2 million...

2,138,041 of today's yen would equal 14,121.15 USD. However, pokémon Fire Red came out in 2004. Adjusting for inflation ¥2,138,041 in 2004 is ¥2,416,462.82 today, or $15,956.05 American. That's just over 9 months of the average rent in the US or 2 years and 3 months in Tokyo prefecture (the real-life equivalent to the Kanto region.)

@@LuckySketcheskanto is based on kantō

it's like 150 now in current economy lol

But was it worth it since he loose money by fainting

He would lose money by blacking out though. For the least possible profit loss, he would have to skip Misty and catch a level 2 mon. After beating the ship rival and before getting the HM, he would have to deposit his party into the PC, withdraw the level 2 mon, then get Cut and lose a battle on the ship. This way, he would lose only 100 for not selling a ball and 16x2 for lossing a battle (because in FRLG, money lost for blacking out is dependant on number of badges obtained and level of mons in your party).

@@acdcljb I think poisoning doesn't make you lose money if you faint out of battle, at least in FR/LG

@@saxor96 I think it does, though? Either way, is there a convenient place to get poisoned near the ship?

@@acdcljb Route 5 has Odish with poisonpowder in Fire Red, so that could be an option. But I don't remember them mentioning any money lose when you faint outside of battle... Maybe it just skips the text but the loss still happens.

Premier balls are not in FRLG for some reason. The second money miss is definitely a way he could’ve saved money though!

I'm not so sure on that second one because investing in this game necessarily incurs a loss of half the money. I can't think of a time where it's worth it to save those 500 by losing half the previously established net worth.

​@@NickJamNGit is, though since he would have spent at least that much on ultra balls afterward. It's also a case of pathing, where he could have cleared the safari zone for free before running back to bully all of the early game trainers.

You can spend the money on cheaper things for a smaller loss

The price of the item doesn’t matter if it’s 50% of everything. 1x100/2=10x10/2

Hear me out: You can make infinite percent of your money (this is a joke)

You can only lose 100 percent of your money but can win 2000 percent ofnit

The casino can only take all the money you have, not infinite. Short selling on the stock market on the other hand... You borrow shares, sell them, and then are obligated to rebuy and return them after a set time. If the stock goes down, you profit. If it goes up, you lose. If it goes waaaaay up, you might lose way more than you have.

Luigi's casino smells like apples. I am in so much debt

And also by keeping it at the minimum level possible that still lets you complete the fights. (Or even investing more Pokeballs into more lower-levelled Meowths.) But doing all that optimally would make the routing absurdly difficult.

@@MrCheezeI don't know if lowest possible level would be optimal, but at minimum you'd want a Meowth that just barely missed the one-shot (save scumming until you needed a maximum low roll, so that Meowth was as high level as possible) and then you'd switch in your level 100 for maximum coins on the overkill finisher. It would make the routing absurd, especially since you'd need to keep catching and leveling them up, but given that you only need a single level 20 Payday to pay back the pokeball on every Meowth (10 with the amulet coin) it would be well worth it from a strictly financial standpoint.

@@PerfectlyGenericUser You're giving me even more ideas, true optimality is even crazier than I thought. I'm thinking now about a minimum-level minimum-attack Meowth holding brightpowder, which means that your opponent can keep missing every turn while you keep chipping away 1hp at a time with Pay Day... and then finally they hit you when you're out of PP or they're at 1HP, to make sure it doesn't actually gain experience (after one or more low-levelled Meowths, you can swap to a high-levelled Persian at the end for cleanup if necessary).

@@MrCheeze Yeah, being truly optimal would require obscene amount of RNG manipulation. Unfortunately I don't think you can get a level 1 pokemon with Payday in FRLG, so you're stuck with a level 18 Meowth as your weakest option without trading shenanigans. So you'll want five min-attack Meowths at level 18 OR the highest possible level to deal 1 damage to the opponent on a low-roll, plus a single level 100 Persian. Get the pokemon down to 1HP with Meowths - or as close as you can get with all 100PP of Pay Day on them- then finish them off with the Persian Other musings I couldn't get to work: PP Ups would probably pay for themselves if there's enough trainers with the total bulk to warrant it Having them be Burned is optional, I'm uncertain if the extra cost to heal them would be worth the extra uses of a higher-level Payday you'd get as a result. I can't figure out a good way to reliably get a 6-stage attack drop onto your own pokemon but if you could Baton Pass a drop onto them you could use MUCH higher level pokemon while still dealing chip damage. Using a Leppa Berry or even an Ether to get more uses of Pay Day is worth it, but no PP-restoring items can be infinitely purchased in FRLG so any acquisition of them wold technically violate the repeatable farming clause. If you can trade pokemon from another game, oh boy. You can get Pay Day on a level 1 Hoppip through breeding in gen 2. Between the lower level, no STAB, and lower Attack, you can guarantee you'll be doing chip damage on dang near anything, ensuring all 100+ uses of Pay Day in every possible encounter, and at a significantly higher level than meowth can achieve.

If he got the voucher and never swapped it for a bike would it keep its total value?

@@GivenForver no the voucher isn’t worth anything but the bike does have a value. It’s like how a coupon isn’t worth anything but it can be used to buy something worth something that coupon is for

What I think could have worked was having 2 mons. 1 the lvl 100 meowth and 2 a Persian that is around 18 levels above its competition late game. The meowth cleans up the trainers until Persian comes to constantly hit pay days before it dies switching back to the meowth to finish the job.

In the Emerald battle frontier, you can earn battle points, and with those, you can buy vitamin items. Once you have a streak going it's actually pretty easy to get to the money cap in Emerald. As for RS... yeah I don't know.

You can trade a Skitty for a Meowth in the Battle Frontier in Emerald too, so you can actually have Pay Day in this game.

The battle frontier battles are repeatable and therefore banned

Pocket money? That's 21k

Well, it would be if it wasn't Fire Red or Leaf Green. Premier Ball cannot be obtained in those, only via trade with R/S/E

@@kirua258 damn that sucks

Thank you! No planned streams right now but definitely will have some soon. 🙏🏻

how does that work

@@quiethere45 at the end of nugget bridge is a team rocket grunt that gives you a nugget and then battles you. If you lose to him and battle him again he gives another nugget. As long as you don’t beat them you get a nugget every battle. Obviously this has to be done early in a game, because beating them is required to progress.

Game developed by Japanese company, produced by another Japanese company, for a Japanese console, and based in a pseudo-Japanese region. Americans: Oh the currency must be USD!!! Annoying US-defaultism.

@@garethdwright91 To be fair, they called it "dollars" (not in Japan, but still).

he could also have switch trained the meowth on wild pokemon using his starter

Back here after the covet-strat was implemented in the following video 👌

In 2004 when FRLG came out the exchange rate was .0095 so it was more like 20,311, which would be about 33,000 today when adjusted for inflation.

14k when you’re 10 is crazy tho

You are the reason why spoiler shields exist

💀 easy money

Your math is way off, it's like 12K USD

Act that it said "41 pokemon caught" after all of that made the deus ex Abra seem less important

Yeah there’s 100% a way to optimize the Pay Day money, but thinking about doing it for every fight gave me a headache lmao. Can’t remember Meowth’s exact stats but I definitely maxed out its Defense and SpDef EVs

could be an interesting TAS if someone felt like doing it lol

@@sierranicholes6712 It'd be a wild TAS. Optimizing IVs and resetting for low damage rolls is tedious -- but the routing. The more you think about what routing the game would look like, the worse it gets. How many meowths do you catch? $200 to buy a pokeball is easy to make back -- actually, it's only a $100 loss because you had to "invest" in items anyway. Optimizing your exp gains sounds impossibly complicated. You'd know exactly how much exp you get from each trainer, and exactly what level your meowth(s) should be at to maximize profit from each of their pokemon. Which order do you fight the trainers in? How do you manage the level ups of your meowths? Sometimes you'd share the exp, sometimes you'd have one or more meowths contribute to the payday but then faint, and I suppose sometimes you'd like to let a meowth faint to keep it at a lower level but you still need it available for the trainer's third pokemon. The whole thing is like a giant traveling salesman problem, except the "distances" (money gained from each trainer) isn't constant. It depends what level your meowths are. And some trainers are locked behind other trainers. I wonder if it would ever be optimal to stick two meowths in the daycare and pick up eggs instead of catching new meowths. Wait, duh, of course it would -- it only costs 2 x $100 to have an infinite supply of meowths of any level (at least lv5). It's also the only way to get meowths at a lower level than 10, which might be optimal if you give them brightpowder and have perfect TAS luck. (Hopefully that's not too optimal of a strategy; it could trivialize the routing and make the execution extremely tedious.) Then there's a few tricks here and there. Pretty sure you can faint on the SS Anne to fight those trainers later with Amulet Coin. And you could invest your money early to avoid losing any money there, and also to get free entry into the safari zone.

does payday not create coins when it misses? Otherwise spamming it against ghosts until you run out of PP then switching in a Ghost-killer Pokemon sounds way more profitable...

if trading in a cut mon was allowed then he would also be able to trade in a meowth early and wouldn't have to use any extra pokeballs for the national dex worth a mention i guess but the rules are fine as is

if you're willing to trade from RSE, it's possible to make infinite money in a single battle with a skitty using assist: - skitty holds leppa berry to restore PP and knows assist and charm - party consists of a pokemon that knows psych up, a pokemon that knows present, a pokemon that knows a recovery move, a pokemon that knows recycle, and a pokemon that knows pay day - spam charm and assist against a resilient opponent (giovanni's rhyhorn for example). smack them with assist continually for tiny damage with pay day and present, while force-healing them with present - never run out of PP because you recycle the leppa berry - never run out of HP because of unlimited healing moves and using present to heal your opponent for much more than they take from -6 pay day and recoil from -6 struggle this can easily be made finite by taking the leppa berry out, thus staying in line with the original rules. with multiple skitties in the party you can probably 10-20x the number of pay day hits per battle this way it's a lot more involved than the original plan of charm and psych up, which gives you the best improvement for not too much additional work
