Oh man this was great. I’d ove to see more roms or fan games covered in this style. Inclement Emerald, Pokemon Opalo, Pokémon Hegemony, and GS Chronicles are choice options
hooboy i hope i havent set expectations too high, upcoming rom hack videos are unfortunately gonna be shorter if i wanna cover every hack i wanna cover
I haven't played Radical Red since 2020, I didn't know they added all those things, last time I got stuck on the elite 4 and I didn't want to waste time breeding so I quit, I think I'll play it again from the start, that "perfect mons" mode looks amazing I remember spending hours just to get my decent team back when I played, time to try again :) Amazing video btw, sadly I had to stop it at 4:30 because I saw so many new things and I don't want to be spoiled lol, I'll come back once I beat it. I love your editing style, keep it up, your channel will grow if you keep uploading good videos like this :D
Ive put so many hours in this game, and ive only done one monotype akshually. It was basically a steal Chuck's Mega Gallade set and sweep run. For those that havent gotten obliterated by it.. It runs Bulk up, Shadow Sneak, Drain Punch and Ice Punch or a Psychic Stab
The only issue I've got with this ROM is the amount of PC box space. I'd love to start doing a living dex, and collect more shinies, but as of right now, it's just impossible.😔
@@crackwagon8513 Pretty much "Just wodering for future updates if it would be worth expanding the number of PC boxes for new Pokémon introduced/creating a living dex/shiny hunting for more of them" etc and so people were basically laughing me off the forum, because battling is the top priority and that no-one cares about expanding the PC boxes. If anything, it would also help with raising competitive teams with different mon's :/
This game is all i ever play. Mind you, i play on easy, but at least on that difficulty, i can play the game normally without getting an aneurism. Easy mode on Radical Red has kept me sane over these last few years. I struggle with depression and autism and other things, so having at least this keeps me going. (Suicidal thoughts aren't fun...)
having played this rom hack, i can confirm that this is defintely a compettive pokemon hack my team as of the elite four is Delphox (Starter) Aegislash Salamence Slaking (probably the worst choice i could've made) Heracross Florges also FUCK that first falker battle, i hate that damn Rufflet
The clips in this video is like a fever dream. Im usually used to these sort of videos being more clean and less bombarding with meme presentation at you. Obviously though if others like the presentation i hope they continue to enjoy it but its not for me because the stimuli overload just makes me stop focusing on the video altogether
yeah ive gotten some comments to this effect, and i agree on the overwhelming nature of my videos. while i don't think i will cease the memey presentation i will work to make my future uploads more cohesive👍
Once beat this game using only Bug Types. They improved them so much that it was honestly a delight. Restricting your options actually enriches the experience because it forces you to be creative.
I still remember playing this game for the first time 3 years ago knowing nothing about competitive Pokémon whatsoever, I rage quit a lot due to having no idea how my pokemon kept getting killed instantly. On the recent version however I just completed a mono fighting run which surprisingly the easiest time I've ever had with this game, definitely gonna replay when the gen 9 update drops
Yeah, I agree with you. My first time playing it was Mono Ghost, and I struggled hard against it. Now, I play through challenge runs so fast, I don't even need to consult the docs anymore. Fighting was the easiest too for me. There's just such a good selection to choose from
I love how the most difficult thing for me in this game was the mandatory boss battles south of Lavender town and West of Celadon City. The damn Galar Fossil always whittled down my team 😤
This was a pretty good video with (imo) very good editing, I'm surprised this video came from someone with less than 1k subs, but also not because of how unpopular Pokémon rom-hacks trully are when compared to most other Pokémon related stuff. Anyways what I'm trying to say is you did a good job with the video and it was great, bye.
Ima subscribe bro. Cuz i like the direction. But fast talking, fast edited in memes, explosions, gimics. Isnt usually my think. Stick to whats important man, you got something to say. No need to water it down
The video is great! I agree with your take on gym leaders needing to be a challenge that takes a few tries and proper strategy and not a cakewalk. Strategy was so annoying to me before. I always wanted to just plow through the game and enjoy it but I got incredibly annoyed that I couldn't go past various gym leaders like Misty, Surge, etc. Then I realized the fun in the game IS THE STRATEGY. Since my perspective changed I started to care about the pokemon in my team. I can't just shove the pokemon I want to use without thinking about type coverage, etc. Now I'm on a new run for 4.0 that I managed to get from Brock it Erika in 3-4 hours. On an unrelated side note are you from MY or SG? Because that accent is so familiar. I'm from MY myself
glad you found it enjoyable :D heh yeah i remember my first and second runs when i stubbornly refused to change up my team; glad we both came around on that one haven't played 4.0 yet is it majorly different? all i know is they added paldea mons and nerfed sunflora (treason)
Wait... you wouldn't happen to be Asian Half Squat, would you??? Your secret is out! Your voices, inflections, and sentence structures flow the exact same! Your secret is out!!!
I really enjoyed Hardcore up till the Elite Four. Every fight required you to engineer a team that answered the threats on their teams. The Pokemon League is 5 consecutive battles, the first two can have 2 different teams, and you have to somehow come up with a team of gimmick mons that can answer the incredible threats only if you play the AI into making certain moves. I ended up finding someone else's team and followed the turn order as close as possible. Even that team leaned heavily on Scarf Togekiss Air Slash Flinch. I played it on Normal unrestricted next, and it was wayyyy too easy. I slapped a sun team together and routed them in one try. Hardcore unrestricted would maybe be more exciting.
Elite 4 is kinda of eaziest if you remind yourself that unlike in early or mid game here you have access to every item and even all of mega stone and lots of options to choose from and few legendrys
I don't find that items really tip the scales in your favor when the opponents have permanent terrain/weather and mons like Swords Dance Zacian Crowned, Calyrex Shadow Rider in Psychic Terrain, Primal Groudon, and Eternamax Eternatus. It's not impossible, clearly, but the challenge is significantly greater than anything prior.
absolutely nothing my friend; no shame in it. merely making a joke on how soupercell used to swear up and down he wouldn't make an easy mode for this rom hack. ;)
@@crackwagon8513 i'm playing 4.1 and can't get past the 2nd gym in minimal grinding easy mode when i'm nuzlocking even if i don't nuzlocke some battles i need to do 14 times to get 1 lucky crit
@@crackwagon8513 yeah being 1200 in freedom cup was cool for a while because found myself defeating high ladder players. My team was pretty bad tho lol
@@crackwagon8513 freezai's ladder thing that has vgc ruleset but it's singles (so like level 50, flutter mane and stuff is legal, item clause, ect.) you can play it on ladder at the bottom of s/v singles
@@crackwagon8513 What a shame. Not even gonna try it then. I despise the split because i don't like types to be two things. Fire be special only, metal be physical only, etc is perfectly fine. I can adapt my team accordingly. Don't care for "balance" or "meta".
well if that was still the case then moves like 'fire punch' would be special and that's just too annoying for me to ration 😅, plus that line of thinking is why we don't get eeveelutions anymore :P
@@crackwagon8513 I understand you are a "i go with the flow" kind of person, or don't have an issue with changes, but for me is "if is not broken, don't need fix / don't change it". I don't have hopes for hacks neither for newer games tho, but thanks for your good wishes.
@@crackwagon8513 but man, these cutscenes are really good. Imagine it actually had difficult settings, level caps instead of applying your highest mon's level, exp share and text profiles to fix their worries about "cringe" cutscenes, when they're actually top tier. If not any of those, I'd want to learn programming so I could at least add a post game for that election which is seemingly only there for immersion and situation based conflict. I swear, that election doesn't happen even if I trigger the elite 4 special dialogue. (Beat it many times and the creator will assume you loved the game and thanks you for playing it.)
Im playing radical red now! I'm shiny hunting and playing normally! I got a few of my favorite pokemon too! Shiny shroomish, buneary, galaran ponyta, and pikachu! I can't wait to evolve them! (I need to wait until fuchsia to evolve shroomish and buneary for the egg move tutor and soothe bell!) I also used all of the in-game cheat codes to reduce grinding, because, for me, grinding isnt fun! I used the dexnav for all of my hunts! So my boxes look like they belong to an insane person:,)
