I beat this game a few times no nuzlocking it yet so no I wasn't gonna type what u thought lol great vidio very entertaining this game is hard af with some insane teams
If you look back on his twitch vods he played radical red to around 4-5th gym if that interests you (he found it boring after that so I don't think he's finishing it)
@@T3DracoI suspect he'd have the same issue in Kaizo, however these days with infinite rare candies and berries being acceptable, maybe not. Those games are largely about grinding the perfect team over and over for a certain match.
@@femboy-alex117 I argue that that challenge was more time consuming than difficult. At some point he just bikes 1million steps to get to lvl 100 and one shot everything. I'm sure he can beat emerald kaizo hardcore nuzlocked but it would be quite difficult for him I think.
Smant's teambuilding was awesome and all, and he likely still wouldve won with luck like the others, but his run here is legendary not for skill, but for pure unadulterated Main Characterness.
The lesson we learned today was that announcing your moves/strategy like an anime protagonist will make you an anime protagonist. Congrats to SmAnt for winning, the rest for challenging him, and you for making the video
As soon as I saw the participants I felt that one of them wasn't like the others. No surprise the man who beat a pokemon game without taking any damage could easily blow through this competition.
This was just hilarious to watch! I tend to be overwhelmed when I watch such races live but you did a great job explaining and highlighting what exactly happened in this video so this was a lot of fun! :) I hope we will get another race in Emerald Kaizo, I really enjoyed watching this one
I brought a Sharpedo to that gym thinking I could spam water moves, and proceeded to spam Strength and Crunch after learning of the horrors that happen in there.
Idk anything about Emerald Kaizo, why don't Water types work on Flannery's gym? And why does Kirlia keep getting its ass beat in Brawley's gym? Do regular type strengths/weaknesses not apply to EK?
@@liviquail Kirlia: physically frail, doesn't quad resist like modern gens, not fast enough Water types: Permanent sun in the gym, Solar Beam silly hours, and the AI has a random chance to click solar beam no matter what's in front of them unless they saw a kill iirc
Smant is just cracked. Like... the AI going for thunderwave on low HP gyarados, not once but TWICE??? He has insane luck which, paired with his good team building, great strategy and general knowledge of the game just makes him the clear frontrunner in any competition like this.
I do like this rule set especially for people who haven't touched EK before, but I think it would be good to give everyone the exact same pokemon. I suppose there were other intimidate pokemon but it was super weird/lucky how Smallant got a Hitmontop while Cjya got a Hitmonlee.
I didn't even notice until you said this, but looking back in the video it looks like they accidentally gave Cj hitmonlee while everyone else got tyrogue and could choose the evolution.
I can't expect less from the man, the myth, the legend that managed not only to beat platinum without receiving any damage, but also to beat gen 1 remakes without INFLICTING DAMAGE through damaging moves *and* faster than another person doing the same challenge, even starting before him. Only because said person insulted his baby (Wooper). Dude's a tactical genius, specially without permadeath
Sableye was also absurdly buffed in the Hack, but so much that, since it´s OP, they made it unavailable to the player to obtain. Although I remember seeing an In-game trade that asked for a Legendary, either Suicune or Articuno I think, for a Sableye xD. How did you obtain one of these? No idea, probably unavailable too.
SmallAnt is the type of guy who is actually just average at games he doesn’t know but given any tools and information he can optimize and learn all the in’s and outs super quick. Also having the blessing of Lady Luck tends to help too
the average smallant experience, everyones losing to crits while he wins landing crits of his own also continuing this series would be awesome and we would all love it
not that i dont like watching smant, cause i do, but it seems a bit silly to me to invite him to these kinds of COMPETITIVE challenges on the basis that he doesn't do romhack nuzlockes or whatever. just cause he doesn't really nuzlocke doesn't mean he doesn't have a clear advantage in game knowledge and strategy when it comes to pokemon
So... why are rock types good vs Brawly? Yeah ok, Kirlia is not good, so? That doesn't answer the question, hell psychic pokemon still look like a good option after seeing what Spoink did
Idunno if its just the way the editing/narrative works out but only knowing CJ through these types of group challenge compilations, he ends up being the butt monkey every time and I feel bad for the man lol
Do 4 youtubers doing a hardcore nuzlocke but the screen is upside down, they've been awake for 24hrs prior, and they have to do a mid-run quiz on the Nile river and it's impact on Africa.
Honestly been waiting for someone to put small ant against alpharad to see who the true lucky boy is. Both have a reputation for being exceedingly lucky
Were Kirlia almost any other mid-stage psychic type, it would likely be a pretty good choice for the gym. Problem is that Kirlia has stats worse than Unown.
I'm also playing emerald kaizo but I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT because I literally beat brawly ONLY using kirlia FIRST TRY I literally did a kirlia sweep... granted it was level 29💀

Inviting Smallant to this video is like bringing a Gun to a Knife Fight.
Yeah I agree
Literally, he is the one person I have seen that has beaten an entire pokemon game without being hit once
@@JustDivine-zh6wd i recomend gamechamp9000 they did a damageless pokemon red playthrough
Inviting Pokémon challenges would be bring a nuke to the American revolution.
@@JustDivine-zh6wd gamechamp3000 also did a great video where she no-hit Pokemon Red without resetting, if you wanna check that out.
Smant's both totally optimal and yet super creative in how he creates answers and builds his teams. I'd love to see him just play through EK.
If you look back on his twitch vods he played radical red to around 4-5th gym if that interests you (he found it boring after that so I don't think he's finishing it)
@@T3DracoI suspect he'd have the same issue in Kaizo, however these days with infinite rare candies and berries being acceptable, maybe not. Those games are largely about grinding the perfect team over and over for a certain match.
Smant could legitimately beat Emerald Kaizo normally, but no need for anyone to willfully put themselves through that stress
he put himself in a worst position by beating platinum without taking damage and reseting to last gym every time he took damage
@@femboy-alex117 I argue that that challenge was more time consuming than difficult. At some point he just bikes 1million steps to get to lvl 100 and one shot everything.

Tbf, Smant is the only onee of these people I care about.
Hearing sweet and family friendly content creator jaiden repeatedly call the game "fucking bullshit" was magnificent
I believe at one point she even said “butt-fucking bullshit” 😂
What EK does to a person
Never expected her to say something like "rawdogging" either lmao
Smant's teambuilding was awesome and all, and he likely still wouldve won with luck like the others, but his run here is legendary not for skill, but for pure unadulterated Main Characterness.
Smallant truely is the Main character
When he says "it won't happen to me because I'm lucky" and then it doesn't happen to him, I was like yeah he's the main character
Watching Smallant being the definition of "let him cook" is always so funny
Cj’s truly illustrates murphy’s law in these group challenge videos
Jaiden still being Miku warms my heart
Jaiden Animation Animation is running real estate scam targeting elderly
The lesson we learned today was that announcing your moves/strategy like an anime protagonist will make you an anime protagonist. Congrats to SmAnt for winning, the rest for challenging him, and you for making the video
Smant is such a smart player, it’s really interesting to watch him play
Oh no... He tortured them again...
Oh no, SmallAnt tortured the AI
Having Smallant here is like going back to pallet town after beating the league and fighting pidgeys with ur champion squad. Rip other contenders
Everyone was getting crit and/or flinch spammed and SmallAnt was like "Oh look, a crit. Also the game just broke" 🤣🤣🤣
This is making me think smant should just do a run of this
As soon as I saw the participants I felt that one of them wasn't like the others. No surprise the man who beat a pokemon game without taking any damage could easily blow through this competition.
Smant yet again proving that luck is a skill
13:36 Jaiden is always my favorite in these videos. I remember the nuzlock speedrun with her not knowing the map and her reactions are the best.
I swear, smant is blessed by the rng gods. I mean he's a phenom at video games, in general, but he usually has some crazy luck too
Smant's luck is whatever will be most amusing for the viewers lol. Neither good or bad just what will be most amusing to watch.
We have the full range of human emotion:
“How’re you guys feeling?”
“Awesome!”
“A little nervous.”
“Sick to my stomach.”
This was just hilarious to watch! I tend to be overwhelmed when I watch such races live but you did a great job explaining and highlighting what exactly happened in this video so this was a lot of fun! :) I hope we will get another race in Emerald Kaizo, I really enjoyed watching this one
Keep doing this! I want to see Smant fail repeatedly but then somehow come out on top like he always does 😂
It would be fun to do another for flannery. It would be funny seeing the contestants try and use a water type in that gym.
I brought a Sharpedo to that gym thinking I could spam water moves, and proceeded to spam Strength and Crunch after learning of the horrors that happen in there.
Idk anything about Emerald Kaizo, why don't Water types work on Flannery's gym? And why does Kirlia keep getting its ass beat in Brawley's gym? Do regular type strengths/weaknesses not apply to EK?

Spinda is pretty good he says as he reworks the stats and gives it a z move
that's just how Spinda is in EK lol, the dev buffed some pokemon stats
EK Spinda has Glalie stats, that's not the problem. The problem is Hyper Voice being a 120 power Rock Smash.

inviting smallant to this is just the "hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby" image

also continuing this series would be awesome and we would all love it
Everytime they went back with that Kirlia and it would get one shot no matter what. "OH MY GOD I JUST LOSE TO CRITS"
This seems super fun to do with the set box.
I swear, SmallAnt is just on a whole different level in all things competitive gaming, he's built different!
Thus is a true testimony to just how lucky Small Ant is
12:23 Cpt Kidd was taking no chances. He didnt say the name of the pokemon, he said "the pokemon that evolves into swallot".
PLEASE give us more Emerald Kaizo with SmallAnt, we NEED to see it!!!
6:41 if anyone can't read :
guts and facade get stronger when you have a status effect that combination is deadly
I love videos like this, thanks for posting!
Oh my goodness, PLEASE make more of these. Smant got waaaay too lucky here and we gotta see him suffer next time.
He won't though
Smallant is one hell of a speedrunner /gamer if ima be honest i wasnt too surprised he won
Including Smallant is guaranteeing no one else stands a chance.
I loved it ❤ 🎉😂😂😂 it’s exactly what I was looking for. Can’t wait to find more videos likes this.
Kidd: The Kirlia is a bait.
SmallAnt: That's where you're wrong, kiddo!
having both smallant and cjya in the same challenge will always be my favourite thing in the world
I’d absolutely love to see more of this “series”
14:32 his lemongrab arc is growing... Just need him to say the line
This feels like a SmallAnt video with additional commentary. Oh and Weegee talks for about 20 seconds.
This shouldve been how far does smant go till everyone beats watson
How to remember that form of Tauros is Water/Fighting? He's a...
Water BUFFalo.

So... why are rock types good vs Brawly?
Yeah ok, Kirlia is not good, so? That doesn't answer the question, hell psychic pokemon still look like a good option after seeing what Spoink did

Pretty unfair to put the rest of the guys up against smallant
Please tell me someone told them that Kirlia was just a bait, right? Please? Don't let them suffer as hard next time.
You're not gonna have any friends after this huh?
I’ve seen all of them before this video, lol. Love more content, so great job. 👌🏼
Smallant would've beaten the champion before the rest got through flannery 😂
they really love that kirlia, no matter how useless they were to the team xD
Idunno if its just the way the editing/narrative works out but only knowing CJ through these types of group challenge compilations, he ends up being the butt monkey every time and I feel bad for the man lol
Except when doing Odyssey hide and seek/tag because he is one of the people that can juke for minutes.
even Pchal would cry to fight the elite 4 with 5 onixes
The magma hideout video boutta be crazy
This was such a non-competition that SmallAnt was basically the last third of the video lol.
I know it will take a long time, but you should have them going through all of the gym leaders xD
Smant could have probably done this in some hours with perma death and no box I’m pretty sure
Do 4 youtubers doing a hardcore nuzlocke but the screen is upside down, they've been awake for 24hrs prior, and they have to do a mid-run quiz on the Nile river and it's impact on Africa.
Make them fight the emerald kaizo elite 4. They’re all full teams of 6, level 100, competitive built.
SmallAnt luck too good. Please nerf.

CJ&Jaiden became the definition of insanity with the kirlia
it had literally done nothing for him
😂😂
Idea: Radical Red challenges (Both with randomizer enabled + difficulty changes)
I think putting the permadeath back on while they still have access to the full boxes would bring some fun spice.
Why does captain Kidd look like he’s about to sell his tech startup for $10 million
Emerald kaizo but all gym leaders
