  • Today we're taking a look at a very not well-known type of Pokemon catch 'em all: The Professor Oak Challenge. In this challenge you have to collect every Pokemon that is available before each gym badge is acquired. Today we're going to take on the challenge. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

    You said self destruction was useless for this kind of challenge. It's actually great when leveling up a pokemon with no moves, because you can put out your Abra or whatever on a Dugtrio and then self destruct your graveler so Abra gets 100% of the 600 experience.

      But was it useless? No. He was only thinking of how self destruct doesn't give the user experience, and not how self destruct was designed to help your teammates, by getting rid of a large threat at a weaker level AND the teammate gets all the experience. You're going to the Pokémon center a lot anyway because you'll be stuck taking 2 turns off Dugtrio damage during normal switch training, which could equal a Pokemon center visit if you aren't at end game levels, compared to 1 Dugtrio battle with self destruct. Would 1 self destruct fight + PC visit be faster than 2 switch training fights + PC visit?

    If you use Pokemon red in the N64 with Pokemon stadium, you can use a stored fresh water/soda/lemonade from a previous run and put it in your game. This allows you to bypass the Saffron guards, and gives you access to the Celadon moon stone. But, this also let's you bypass Misty's gym altogether, and only needs you to get Brock's and Koga's badge to get everyone besides Moltres, Articuno, and Mewtwo. This doesn't conform to your "no using other games" rule however, but there's no other way I can think of

You can store items in Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon stadium 2 as a second PC storage system, and withdraw it from any compatible game (It doesn't need to be the original game it came from, like how the item from one file from Pokemon Blue has to be withdrawn from that save file specifically. It can be withdrawn from a pokemon Red or Yellow after deposited from Blue). The only glitch you'd possibly use would be the ditto glitch to get version exclusives and trade evolutions if you wanted

    I have a challenge inspired by that feature in newer games that remind you the party you challenge every Gym Leader with:
    1. You MUST catch the first Pokémon you find in every Route, if you defeat it, you have to catch one of the same species before doing anything else.
    2. When your party is full, your newest catch must replace your oldest. Which means if I reach the place where I can get my 7th Pokémon, it replaces my starter, the next one must replace the 2nd Pokémon I got and so on and so forth.
    You get to try Pokémon at every place and each Gym Leader feels challenging, since you can't get attached to them too much, since some Pokémon might leave your party as soon as they arrive you'll tackle Gyms and battles head-on with minimal grinding. Stuff like Selfdestruct that I never used, suddenly became viable since that Pokémon will leave the party eventually.

      Probably a lot harder of a challenge is one I called "the ace challenge".
      Rule 1) only allowed to have 6 Pokemon total (none in box unless fainted)
      Rule 2) if it faints, it's dead. Throw away.
      Rule 3) the first Pokemon on the route is what you have to catch if you decide to bypass the route and catch a 6th Pokemon if one faints (so instance, passing on kakuna in veridian forest means if you decide to go back, you HAVE to catch kakuna).
      And rule 4) special nickname for them so the fear of losing the Pokemon becomes even greater. (Also they are your family in the game, and all family members deserve a name)
      So basically, nuzlocke but only have a total of 6 at a time (no back ups in pc).
