This is wild hey!! Love it I've played a few new 3d gens, but I really love the 2d design for Pokemon. That being said I really like the 2d establishing shots, the fire red etc games provide, when transitioning between areas.
Addressing your gratefulness to your viewers, I mostly enjoy your GSC content (because I personally like gem 2 a lot more than gen 1), but I really like your style on both channels. The thing that separates you from the other solo runners like Scott' Thoughts and JRose is that you don't have an emphasis on time in your challenges. You more focus on theoretical challenges like minimum battles, which I find to suit Pokemon as a game better than a speedrun challenge. The point system you use really makes for a better scoring system because it isn't as dependent on possible routing mistakes or rng wasting time. I also like how engaged you are with your community. I know you read and respond to basically every comment, and I appreciate that (I know the bigger channels can't really do that because once you get to a certain size it is impossible). Thanks for being a great content creator, and taking the time to listen to the feedback and input of your community.
Grats on over 9k! A question though: are you gonna bring back the "can the worst X beat pokemon yellow on 0 dvs, minimum battles and with no tms" series? Although I like pretty much all your content, I really miss this series :)
Yeah, I've gotten a bit sidetracked, but I think there are still opportunities. Some might need egg moves to do it without TMs, which is a kind of grey area, but it's always fun trying TM-less runs
OOOOoooh I see what you did there. "It's over 9000!" Congrats on the 9k! Also, I'm sure you know, but the original manga was 8000 sooo you hit that mark! lol Can't wait to see what 10k brings, not too far off! As of now I am seeing 9.21k 🥳🎉
Yeah, I had this debate with my wife that while 8000 is the original the Ocean Dub of over 9000 is the best dub,l. My wife, being Japanese vehemently argues that it has to be 8000.
I just discovered you yesterday. Instant subscribe. I’m currently watching this vid on my phone. I have the Dragon Gyarados vid paused on my tv while I make food.
Congratulations! Love your humble attitude. You deserve every subscriber. I think the reason for your channels growing is that you deliver unique content with all these out of the box runs and you have fun narration and nice personality as well.
Keep doing what you're doing, your work is appreciated. I love your content and love seeing all the changes as you grow. This challenge looked super fun
fun fact: Goku's power was only 8000 in the original (which is why he needed 3x to compete with Vegeta at 18000). "Over 9000" just became a meme because the English Ocean dub used 9000 and it sounded funny.
congrats on the 9k. been following since the godkarp vs mewpoo run but I also watched most of the older stuff as well. one thing I'd like to see is an eeveelution race^^
Machamp feels like he's been kind of overlooked over the years. He got some love with a Gigantamax form in Gen 8 but he's otherwise been very second fiddle to Alakazam. Still, he can clearly do some stuff, judging by this run, if he's just given the right opportunities. BBG makes an enormous difference yet again. And disobedience didn't really hurt as much as some previous runs - perhaps because Machamp is hardier than a lot of the tradeback mons you've used previously.
What a ride!Congratulations on getting 9k subs. I remember watching that poor Weedle run whenever you had 200 subs, and ever since then I can't miss your videos. 😊 I met a lot of people who share the same passion that I have for these games , because of you making this small community. So I appreciate that a lot.😊 Machamp was really good wirh a decent fighting move. I thought that disobedience will be major factor like in the Vulpix run ,but you were lucky with that. And by the way, Rival 6 was cosplaying as Blainey boy , I know that it coding error of some sort but it is really funny 🤣🤣.
Absolutely, thank you for supporting all this time Batel. I remember it was the Weedle video a couple years ago when I first saw your comments. What a ride! Yeah I still have a few fixes to make. Rival wants to be Blaine because he thinks he's 🔥
Que bueno que te vaya bien en tu canal, tienes un contenido muy entretenido, espero sigas creciendo y que todo vaya bien. Por cierto buen paytrought. 🎉
Minimum battles is about minimum of EXP. Using a trade mon with Bonus EXP is kinda cheap. On the other Hand disobedience gives its own spin on this run.
I agree. I went for the trade Mon style here because 1) He's meant to have a power level over 9000, and 2) it's my general rule when adding egg moves since they aren't legal in Gen 1
Fun fact in super smash brothers melee in the move name manual jigglypuffs forward smash is called rolling kick but she can’t learn rolling kick in the Pokémon games
When you said "disobedience is the worst status," I assume you meant from a full game solo run perspective. Because from in-battle perspective? Gen 1 frozen is a thing.
@@jjquinn295 If you are frozen, the enemy can't inflict damage to itself, and you don't use items in battle, you will lose 100%. Obviously if you do use items it isn't an issue, but I never use them.
The infamous DBZ hackrom is cool but it's absolutely broken, especially for a solo run. It's basically playing Fire Red but: - Basically everyone has a different flavor of Blaziken that can have Mewtwo kind of stats - Types doesn't matter outside stab and dark type - Fighters are either garbage or a various degree of strong - Everyone that matter learns 100+ damage stab moves
Was the fossil race you mentioned also using tradeback moves? Cause since it happened right after a level up both times here, my best guess would be that it has something to do with traded pokemon's boosted xp.
The biggest tip I've seen from a larger channel is to not blast the "send to subscribers" button. If you do that and they don't watch it pushes you down the algorithm.
Yeah, there are two versions of the patch, one just changes the overworld, the other changes the Pokemon sprites. Personally, I like to keep the sprites as-is
All of Giovanni's pokémon are weak to fighting moves, just like the regis… Regis Giovanni reGIs GIovanni reGIovanni Secret 6th regi? What does this mean for Team Rocket? Do they answer to Regigigas? Does Regigigas answer to Regiovanni? Game Freak pls respond
Maybe im just dumb but idk, im confused by what you mean... You said the game is going to count certain trainers as optional, so your going to "Reset to get rid of them"? Wtf do you mean? They are still there when you reset so what am i missing?
It's in the scoring on the lower right. It keeps showing an optional battle when I fight a trainer that isn't in Yellow, but resetting takes them off in my current overlay implementation. It's purely an issue with my overlay, not the game
i noticed you set up meditate 6x, but then would use karate chop if rolling kick was going to be not very effective. You shouldn't be doing this because when you crit with karate chop it ignores the meditate buffs and badge boost glitches. You'd do much more damage with rolling kick even if it's not very effective.
This is true, there were some misplays like that. I just did this one quick, more about the fun and taking a chance to say thank you more than anything
Yeah, I didn't think they necessarily needed to change that. Even if they nerfed them a bit at the top end and did a minimum 6.25% it would have been nice in later Gens
Keep it up man wish Scott's thoughts would go back to these style of videos instead of his new live only kick it stinks how he does it now but his vids are still good though
I can understand he's trying to do more live content - usually it pays more for one, and it lets him get more out of the multiple runs he does per Pokemon. That being said, I think it has to balance.
In the rival 6 fight you had 4 meditates, shouldn't a 135 power rolling kick oneshot the Gyarados? I feel like you underutilised stab moves in this run.
@@RBYPokemonChallenges Yeah I think you need 5 or 6 meditates with badgeboosts to get the onehit, but 800+ attack and a not very effective 135 power move is certainly doing more damage than a 75 power normal effective move working on 300+ special.
The disobedience is really annoying Would like to have seen the run without the disobedience, but then you also probably wouldn't have the boosted experience points and egg moves...
Yeah, I like to keep it somewhat authentic, so when I use Egg Moves or tradeback moves, I as a rule go with boosted EXP but also disobedience. It really wasn't terrible in this one.
I like your content, but I dislike the choice to go for 0 DV instead of max DV. I'dd rather see pokemon at their full potential especially if you're going through the trouble of giving Machamp egg moves.
Seeing Gen 1 with Gen 2 overworld is pretty epic NGL
Yeah, II love this rom patch for the recolor mod. I wish I had the same think in Yellow, but couldn't find a good one.
Here's hoping for a Pokémon Yellow DX color patch in the future
This is wild hey!! Love it
I've played a few new 3d gens, but I really love the 2d design for Pokemon.

Clearly the HP underflow was just the Machamp showing its true power.

You’re a champ RBY!
Thank you!
Congratulations on the Sub Goal “Your over 9000!!!!” 🔥🔥🔥
Now I need to reach Broly tier!
This video hits hard after Toriyama's passing
Yeah, it's just coincidental timing. I always loved the original Dragon Ball and Z in particular as a kid, and it's sad to see the legend go.

How in the actual heck do you have 9k subs and not an order of magnitude more than that
For real you deserve

Absolutely. That's the thing. It's so easy to focus on numbers and forget to enjoy what you're doing.

Rolling Kick is too OP for the main series games, clearly.

Yeah, really sad news. I posted yesterday and then heard the news today. Time to binge some Dragon Ball this weekend...
12:59 I bet Misty has very nice starfish.
But like a champ, he pays no mind to her starfish
The disobey gets me everytime man.
Yeah, he likes to sleep and smack himself after intense meditation
When you said "disobedience is the worst status," I assume you meant from a full game solo run perspective. Because from in-battle perspective? Gen 1 frozen is a thing.
I don't know if you are to high of a level the disobedience will make your mon just kill itself
@@jjquinn295 If you are frozen, the enemy can't inflict damage to itself, and you don't use items in battle, you will lose 100%. Obviously if you do use items it isn't an issue, but I never use them.
The difference is we know we have to reset when frozen.. With disobedience you have to keep going because you still MIGHT win...
@@RBYPokemonChallenges oh, I didn't think about that. Good point.
Congrats 🫡 been watching for a while
Thank you so much! It's always wild hitting little milestones, and awesome to see the people who join along the way!

Nah, it was a deep dive into the special fossil versions of missingno which have very bizarre mechanics.
why couldn't they just put one more pokemon in front of machamp? it's #68 with a 420 stat total
So close! Let's just add in M, and renumber it as #001 to make Machamp have it's proper #69 Pokedex Number!

This is NOT GSC Pokémon Challenges!!!
3:27 that would be on fire red i think
We gotta do a FRLG run sometime...
The biggest tip I've seen from a larger channel is to not blast the "send to subscribers" button. If you do that and they don't watch it pushes you down the algorithm.
I can understand. It's a big part of why you'll basically never hear me ask people to subscribe in the video.
Bro, what's the program you use to modify the pokemon game file? I want dragon Charmander and Ghost-Lax!
WHAT 9000!???
There's no way that could be right! Grrr...
Possibly If IT can damage Ghost types but unless you KILL Sabrina's BEFORE they 1 shot you with Psychic good luck beating her pokemon.
I was anticipating the Sabrina fight the whole time.
Why do the overworld graphics look like GSC?

😂 Nice!
Do you know the crit rate deoxys-s and regieleki would have in gen 1?
Insane
0 dvs makes sense; Goku was only power level 2 as a baby.
Proof that putting in the work to grind and get stronger is more important that inate talent.
Oo the overworld is colourised that's nice, what's the hack?
I'm using a Gen 2 color patch. It's publicly available, just Google Red/Blue Gen 2 graphics patch
Doesn’t weezing have a bst of 420 too?
Okay it’s only Gen 1 when it shares it has the one special stat
In my ranks, I just have a list that goes in order and doesn't count the ties, so there could be one higher or lower with the same BST
I dont get the reset thing with the Trainer battles? Why you should do it. You keep the exp
It's an error I. my overlay, not anything to do with the game itself
The overworld is Gen 2 but the poké sprites are from Blue?
Yeah, there are two versions of the patch, one just changes the overworld, the other changes the Pokemon sprites. Personally, I like to keep the sprites as-is
