Today we're sorta kinda barely taking a break from RBY to talk about Pokémon Stadium, specifically the version of the game you might be stuck with if you're playing the recent Nintendo Switch Online release.
If you were looking to play against your friends in this release of the game, you might've been disappointed to find that you were limited to just the rental Pokémon the game provides, specifically a single set of rentals if you wanted to play a traditional 6v6 battle.
However, the limitations at play here have unintentionally created one of the most uniquely fun and accessible metagames the first generation of Pokémon has to offer, so if you're interested in trying something new or just learning which Pokémon you can beat your friends up with the best, this might be the vid for you!

"fixing" a bug by just running the same bugged calculation again instead of actually fixing it is legendary game design philosophy

@ShermTank7272 Год назад

The funniest thing is that I'm pretty sure 1 in 65k is the lowest RNG odds of _anything_ in the entire franchise. Even full odds shinies in older generations are 1 in 8192. If you miss an attack in stadium, you're simultaneously the most and least lucky Pokémon player ever

@shiftfire4511 Год назад

@ShermTank Well, not quite. Rarest thing in battle, yes, but the actual single rarest thing would be catching Identical Spinda. See, there's nearly 4 billion possible spot patterns for Spinda, so the chances of catching the same pattern *twice* is so incredibly rare that it's realistically never going to happen to you. As far as singular calculations, it's the rarest thing in Pokemon. That's not even getting into doing that with Shiny Spinda, or what is the rarest possible event in Pokemon, which would be a swarm encounter with 5 Shiny Identical Spinda, same gender, same nature, perfect IVs, hidden abilities, all with Pokerus. Which is a possibility so remote and unlikely that the number has nearly as many digits as there were Pokemon in RBY.

@ClaraDeLemon 11 месяцев назад

@@shiftfire4511 Kinda, but those examples are all "land two things in a row", which is different to just missing a move in gen 1 stadium. Of course, the chance is that low because it runs the check two times and that squares the already low chance, but for the player it's only a single event

@LordTonzilla 11 месяцев назад

@@shiftfire4511 I could be mistaken, but aren't Spinda's spot patterns determined by IVs? So a horde of Spinda that all have perfect IVs would necessarily be identical pattern?

Jynx's feet is a very peculiar topic. She appears to not have feet normally, instead she just materializes feet out of nowhere, which are also disconnected from her body. To make this even weirder, Jynx's footprints are totally absent from any Pokédex that supports footprints. The only thing holding all this mystery together is Jynx's Stadium faint animation, where Jynx's body disintegrates except for her hair.

If you are out of options and are desperate I can see using metronome and seeing what happens as viable last ditch effort but generally consistent damage is preferred over using metronome and praying to Lord Arceus for a miracle. Of course mega kick isn't exactly reliable either with its 85% accuracy but it's better than metronome in most scenarios.

Love the video :3 I also wanted to share my love for rental Rhyhorn, which I prefer over graveler, and I wish was talked more. Their bulk are pretty similar and yes, the 10 less speed, atk, and lack of selfdestruct hurts Rhyhorn when comparing the two, his access to Rock Slide is really what makes him my favorite of the two. His MU becomes positive against Zapdos and Aerodactyl and, most importantly, the opponent cannot easily switch in a flying type such as Articuno or Moltres to avoid an earthquake in fear of the Rock Slide read. All of this without losing a MU that Graveler would win, but losing the ability to remove a treat with selfdestruct really puts the two on that grey zone of who's the best.

That slow sleep from Paras is funny and reminds me of the new Toedscruel in Gen 9. It has the same stats as Tentacruel but is a grass/ground type with Spore. Gamefreak obviously looked at this and realised a 100 base speed spore user sounded terrifying so they intentionally gave it a new ability that makes all it's non damaging moved have -1 priority and go last but with the upside of being able to ignore other Pokémon abilities that would otherwise be immune to the status (basically to counter the new Gholdengo and Garganacl). Because it always goes last using spore it's gauranteed at least 1 free sleep turn

@WhimsicottFanatic Год назад

Also, on a note unrelated to the video but just occurred to me after hearing "Cloyster" and "Exeggutor" in the same sentence, R[G]BY has basically always had a sort of alternative Fire/Grass/Water trio when it comes to things like Blue's Champion team or the unused Oak team; a trio of Arcanine, Exeggutor, and Gyarados, with one of them being swapped out by the starter of the respective type as needed But I'm only now realizing that Gyarados is a bit of a weird pick for the Water filler, considering Arcanine and Exeggutor both require their respective evolution stones while Gyarados is a level evolution I dunno, I guess now that I'm actually thinking about it, I feel like Cloyster would've been a more "fitting" Water filler over Gyarados

I want a couple of the tournaments back in the day and usually got top 4 if I didn't. I love seeing the resurgent in this format now that it's been many moons since those tournaments at game over video games. The only two Pokemon on my regular team you did not cover is Dragonair which is a good honest special beat stick and more importantly dewgong. Which functions as a pretty fantastic stall Pokemon and check to pokemon that give my main Jolteon a hard time. With rest, Aurora beam, surf and headbutt. If you don't have a super effective move your likely to not be able to knock it out before it wakes up from rest. My winning team if I recall right was: Abra, Jolteon, dewdoug, dragonair, Jynx, and Gengar. This video was a blast from the past and a delight to watch. If they ever go back to hosting tournaments in the year 2023. Then I might play around with adding Persian. Never thought about that mon.

This video is fantastic dear, thank you. As a poor kid non-us and everything considered buying stuff was out of my reach so when I played pokemon stadium i had no way to train my own pokemons, i went through the game with rentals only in all cups. It was harsh to say the least, specially as a kid who didn't know much english -I always remember a lvl 15 tentacruel in one of the little cups being super fast, strong, having thunderbolt, nightmarish

Waking up to May’s edition of “niche RBY metas and how they’re some genuinely cool stuff” is the best thing that has happened to me today

@WhimsicottFanatic Год назад

There's something both funny and neat about both members of the Meowth line being among the best in two different side-metagames [even if 7U is a bit more on the "imaginary" side]

RBY and Stadium show that „its not a bug, its a feature“ can be very true sometimes

@stevebuhrt3504 Год назад

I saw the title and immediately thought of Skull Bash Alakazam from one of the poke cups😂 Also, I never saw this channel intersecting timewise with the Ray Narvaez extended universe

The Tauros Doesn't Run Earthquake edit is probably my favorite joke you've done so far it's really good

@SpectreXS Год назад

I love simplified metagames like these, and stadium is one my favorite pokemon games of all time. It's all about battling, the best part of the series! (and minigames)

I had no idea that stadium was gonna have online play. So happy I clicked this video! Always wanted to play stadium online

@paper-tapes4198 Год назад

This overall was incredibly fascinating. I usually put your videos on when I am just casually playing Pokemon myself anyway, but this one was absorbing, I didn't realize I knew so little about a game I've casually played since 2000. I think I kinda just assumed it worked the same as RBY and just never payed attention when Double Edge or whatever didn't act the same. Great vid.

I have to say I LOVE your content. Over the last nine days, I have listened this video four or five times already while just doing busywork or playing videogames. I know what to expect but I am always entertained!!

@bdellovibrioo5242 Год назад

I've been binging many of your older videos over the last couple days - they're very rewatchable thanks to your humor! Very happy to see new stuff from you.

@DaShikuXI Год назад

I hope that the next Pokemon game can have a world and story like S/V, with battle animations like Stadium. That would be a truly glorious game.

@poodymeiner3125 Год назад

I lost your channel for a second but I’m glad I found you again. Entertaining, informative, and actually what I want in terms of content. Thank you

I have been waiting for you, I'm playing Sword now and I can't wait for you to do more content. I hope you talk about Stadium 2, Coliseum and Revolution.

I made metronome teams for pokemon stadium and jynx busted out that gross foot for so many moves. FIrst time I've seen is referenced anywhere

@vincentthekeeper2163 8 месяцев назад

I love the feel of this video. Very grassroots feeling. Like, you and your buddy in his apartment talking about Pokemon on a Saturday afternoon.

@Nikkidafox Год назад

I always found it a bit strange how fully evolved pokemon are generally WORSE than mid-stage evolutions because of their movesets. You want psychic? Get kadabra. You want self destruct on your Electrode? Nope, voltorb. (PS, your nails slay. Are they real?)

@hi-i-am-atan Год назад

i mean there ain't exactly many other ways to give incentives to using preevos and rby sure as hell does _not_ have a movepool granular enough to avoid some goofy-ass moves on mons with good stats

@inheritedwheel2900 Год назад

it's not strange-- it's actually a genious way to expand the amount of usable pokmemon from ~70 to 151 and give each a specific niche. It's really interesting to see how they intended to balance the evolutions against one another; you can see the thought processes of the devs clearly. It fights against the modern impulse to pick the fully evolved mon with the best stats and run with it.

@xiphosmaniac Год назад

hell no. As someone who got his N64 the day this game got released, i always loved that the prevolutions had the more powerful moves. Dont get me wrong, as a kid i really wanted to use my venasaur with solarbeam, but only bulbasaur had access to that. So it gave me incentive to build a team of things like Alakazam with light screen to set me up, and swapping to one of the smaller mons with huge moves. Plus, it gave incentive to get RBY so you can transfer your own mons into the game, and suddenly not only could i play my pokemon yellow on my TV, i can freely transfer my mons with actual good moves into the game and do the victory road. Pokemon Stadium 2 was even better in that regard.....this is a series that needs a revival badly, but theres just too many pokemon. They can do it with like the 3 most recent gens, maybe. Id take that trade off. Or just have a selection of fan favorites for every type through out the gens. Idk. /rantover

Thanks for all the effort you put into this long video. I'm weirdly fascinated by the Stadium games and love seeing all the new coverage about them.

@zacherymarks798 Год назад

Someone understands the investment I’ve done in rentals multiplayer. Actually had multiple small tournaments last summer and various small battles. It taught me a lot about what Pokémon rule in free for all. Still figuring out what’s good in stadium 2.

I don't know what it is about this video specifically, but it's one of my favorites on your channel, and that's saying a lot. I've rewatched it several times. Maybe it's just because of how interesting the subject is, but you did an excellent job on this one. Very late comment, but this video rules.
