  • Let's take a look at a solo run with Gen 2's pseudo-legendary in today's video!
    🥓 Unlisted video to elaborate on rules/setup: 🥓
    ► • Gym Leader Matt's Solo...
    🍤 Solo Run Rules: 🍤
    ►I can only use the title Pokemon in battle. No switching at all, HM Pokemon are required.
    ►No use of items in battle. Potions, TMs, etc. are allowed outside of battle.
    ►No use of skips/exploits.
    ►The TMs for Double Team and Curse are banned. As a result, I time runs at Blue and see what a Pokemon needs to make the Red fight consistent without resorting to boring strategies.
    ►I play on x4 speed and use real time for these runs along with consideration on how the Red fight went.

      ​@Gym Leader Matt I'd say red is the end of the timer because we're talking about Challenges
      Not get through lance n enter the bonus round because Kanto isn't difficult without red

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Год назад +1

      @@nautgamingnautgaming9949 My counterclaim is that Red isn't actually difficult but so much higher level that it enters the realm of tedium. The whole point of contention is that if you want the fastest Red time and that's all you care about then you just learn Curse and Rest on 99% of Pokemon and call it a day. I don't like that strat. It isn't fun to play and it's not fun to watch the same result play out every video. If you don't use those strats then only a handful of Pokemon can do it without some very tedious grinding that you have to do in your 60s and 70s when all you have are wild Pokemon that are up to 30 levels lower than that and that just adds superficial time to the final tally.

    I loved this so much, the Wilhelm Scream on the rocket dude that was attacked by dragonite, the routing of the HM mons to save time, and especially the Tyranitar at the end with all his items lol. I remember talking to you about doing this run in comments on a previous video and I’m so happy you did, this made my day^^ even got bonus footage with no rest+curse strats! (Even though using detect to abuse Venusaur’s ai was pretty sick imo). You went above and beyond for this one!

      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Год назад +2

      Yea! This one taught me a lot about Crystal and how I'll handle it going forward. I did the items in post on this one but I have got the tech now very soon to start doing damage sprites as well as held items in the actual overlay. I've been testing it on stream a few weeks now and It's ready for a video soonish.
      I think I'll do the Wilhelm scream every video, lmao. But yea I thought this one was good. Overall I'm just trying to streamline my process so that I can put a little more care into things. Going forward we'll note the time after Blue and see if a Pokemon needs curse/rest and then show what level it would need to be to make it consistent without it.

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 I could definitely see that lol. I may be wrong, due to not playing Gen 2 nearly as much as Gen 1, but from an observer's point-of-view, it seems like Gen 2 has a good bit more optimizations available to the runner. The length of the game, plus the new moves open up so many different strategies IMO. Look forward to more & Tombstoner Brother!

      The main thing is Hidden Power is your one get out of jail free card if you need it but there is a lack of things like Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/etc until post game. If you learn the elemental punches then you just cruise. It's a fun process overall but in a video or two we'll have it down I think.

I guess the E4 isn't as important in this game but if I remember I'll see what I can do. They added a cool flag in the code to gen 1 for when you beat the champion and I'm not 100% sure it's in gen 2 but I'll see if I can maybe tie it to the Hall of Fame room or something.

    I think that one way you could hammer home how much planning goes in to a particular battle you could make a small grayed out box with footage of you getting backhanded in said battle. I'm sure it's way easier said than done. Love the videos.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Год назад +1

      The main thing is that for the sake of time I don’t record the first couple of playthroughs so I can just get through at my leisure to plan out. I’d be far less productive on the channel if I had to record like 3-4 hours of footage for every run and wade through hours of footage to splice onto the screen.
      Rarely I’ll do a first attempt into the optimized run like the next video coming up but it’s rare because it takes a good bit longer to do and this is just a little side hobby for me.

    I think using Blue time and Red time as a composite score along with resets is a good idea, and you can extrapolate your earlier Blue times from your videos

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Год назад

      I haven't got a defined metric just yet but it'll be like final time at Blue, did the Pokemon need curse/rest, how far did it have to go to get it done, and of course resets.
