The problem with this: he's an ice type, so your body heat will instead melt him. But I agree he's certainly one of the most huggable ice types in the entire series.
just a "AskMDB" would help right? :D Question: what was the most surprising pokemon challenge of 2022 for you? like which one you thought will be pretty easy but was difficult instead
I was going to suggest MDBQ, but yours has that fun mix of lower and upper case letters that 8/16 bit character restrictions create. Question/Suggestion: Since you're a huge wrestling fan, if you had to make a team that best represents your favorite wrestlers as pokemon, who/what would they be? and what gen would best serve as a challenge for them? [this could be amini-series with i wrestling stable per gen]. They don't have to all be Fighting type [Kane could be a fire type, Undertaker ghost and Rey Mysterio flying for example]
I needed something to help stay awake burning the midnight oil. I'm glad you're doing better health wise. A challenge I've tried in Pokémon is Platinum (and more recently Shining Pearl) with only a Shieldon, but I've never had the time and willpower to see it through. I'd be curious what you think of a run like that.
Hey MDB, here’s a suggestion: Hidden Power! Grab the TM for it in Fortree City, save in front of the forced Kecleon battle, and see if it’s worth using. Since Kecleon turns into the type Hidden Power is, it could potentially be great coverage for whatever Pokémon you use in Gen 3 challenges.
Hearing him mention how bad that was to get the right nature reminded me of when I started my own pokemon challenge in gen 4 and wanted to do turtwig, and got like 11-12 defense lowering natures in a row
Have you ever thought of doing a challenge where you use only the Pokemon teams from the eight gym leaders? The catch being that you can only use that gym leaders team until you beat them, then you would move onto the next team. And you would have to complete the rest of the game with the 8th gym leaders game, and depending on the game the teams could be either good or bad.
My question for this run is: are there any challenges or series that you have ever been tempted to or wanted to redo later because you'd enjoy it more now? Also please do another Nancy Drew soon it's just the best
*Q&A*: How about a Fallout New Vegas run as a tribal/Survivalist - only able to use crafted weapons or Knives/axes and other “primitive” melee weapons and only able to heal with healing powders and other natural items and or food from mutated animals? #MahDrySlice
Idea for the key word for questions: Dux Question for the next challenge: If you could change the base Pokemon formula, what would you change it to? This could be similar or Mystery Dungeon or any other game you’ve played.
Folks always sleep on using Blizzard for their ice types, but I feel like the extra power would really help hit some of those damage ranges. You could even throw Hail on your moveset to get some use out of Ice Body, or Rest to deal with Toxic.
Also fun fact about emerald double battle AI. (This is something the emerald kaizo figured out so shoutout to them) If you are in a double battle and the enemy pokemon see a kill with their moves, they will always hit that move into the slot that it kills. In a situation where multiple moves kill, they'll randomly select any of the killing moves regardless of typing. Thats why sometimes in double battles you'll see them target the empty slot the same turn it dies.
You could call the question segment the Ginnungagap, it’s the place where ice and fire meet to make the first giant (an oversimplification, I know) but it’s a very unique word to search for and I think it’s interesting
For the psychic gym you could've used Blizzard. The accuracy is not the most reliable thing, but it hits both opponents, at least it would've made short work of both Xatu and Claydol on the first turn. Judging by the damage that Ice Beam did to Solrock and Lunatone, it may have even one-shotted them too.
Love these little guys and froslass is my favorite ghost trype...Anyway can you do a heracross only run? Day 5 of watching the whole pokemon challenge playist in order commenting on each...
Gotta learn to lean into resto chesto strats, they work wonders. Also, if I am thinking of this correctly, levels that end in 0, 3, 5, and 8, provide significant boosts to damage because of a wierd rounding work in the game, so this may save you time while grinding levels.
Hey MDB, hope you see the comment. Firstly, I'm really glad your channel picked up; I cannot think of anyone who I am more happy for in that regard, especially since the video in which you have shared your story and family situation... needless to say, it hit close to home. Either way, you rock. What I am really trying to say is if you enjoy the work of Troika Games, I would strongly advise you playing Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption (and Bloodlines, the 'sequel'). Troika really knew what makes or breaks rpg games. Either way, never change my man
In case you're interested in seeing more of Gary's Raticate, I recommend Pedro Araújo's Pokémon animation series. He really makes the creepypasta come to life, in a very emotional way.
I finally bought a couple of the graphic tees and they really are comfy and the look is great. I was hesitant since most graphic tees can be itchy or bad shirts at the base but so far loving them. First time I listened to a RUclipsr ad and bought the product, mostly because of years of you not doing just any random ad. Love the show from challenges to lets plays, happy to show support in any way I can
Those damage ranges in the Steven fight were PAINFUL. I know you've said in older runs you don't really understand the EV/IV system, but EV training at the very least would prove to be incredibly beneficial in these solo challenges, particularly the more difficult ones. Would've almost certainly resulted in that Claydol and Cradily being OHKOs for instance
Love the content MDB! I hope you can keep going at your own pace, making what you can, and taking ample breaks! I've never really been an outspoken member of this community (as I enjoy watching and supporting from afar), however I thought being another positive comment lost to RUclips algorithm would be fun this time around! Joking aside, my wife has similar conditions to you (foremost example being EDS), so seeing your health problems firsthand has given us both a lot of insight for the future. Seeing that you haven't given up through all the hardship sent your way has really helped my wife and I see every day a little brighter than the last. You have been our quiet inspiration that everything will eventually be okay, even if there are more difficult trials to come. All in all, I hope your pain eases soon. Stay strong MDB, you have quite the supportive audience. Whether we watch patently in the back or actively voice our support, I can assume we all want to see you progress forward. Can't wait to see the next challenge run! Or the backlog that I always end up watching anyways. And if you do happen to read this, thanks from both of us! -J&A
Love the challenge! Snorunt is one of my favourites just cause of the dramatic change on evolution. Question time, Have you ever played Pokemon Conquest? and if so did you like the movement stuff in combat? if not, would you do a challenge run?
Glad to see you back! A fun skill based one would be wobbuffet, you CAN use items in battle, but you can't do any repeatable trainer battles and no reloading before major battles. Threw a bunch of potions at a failed gym Battle? Try again without those potions. Can you beat the game before you run out of money?
Hey MDB! Excellent challenge, even better fossil choice. This channel is one of the best on RUclips. My question for you to answer in this great new segment is... Which pokemon would be the hardest (in your opinion) to fight in a Wrestling Match?
Random question for your next grinding session: (I think it should be called TLQ: Taking Lots of Questions. Of course, for the reference to the most average PPV special in wrestling, TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs) With so many years on RUclips and so many series under your belt, has there ever been a series you regret making? Maybe you made it despite not having fun during it, or your comments hated it despite you loving it?
I loooooooved Arcanum of Steamworks and Magicks Obscura, I have the soundtrack! It was so much fun, I went full engineer and build the iron dagger railgun!
A Pokemon Emerald run using only moves of a specific contest type might be an interesting one. Maybe something like only using moves that are listed as Clever?
Appearantly being the 0.01% I loved hearing that you like Victoria 2 and 3. Fun to see people have the same wildly niche taste in games I seem to have :D
Question: If you were an Elite 4 member, which five Pokémon would comprise your team. Bonus points if you use Pokémon that you’ve done challenges with.
I didn't mean to give this a thumbs down initially! I'm so sorry, I changed it to a thumbs up. Haha. You're one of my favorite creators on RUclips and I'm glad you're feeling healthy enough to get back to it. Cheers, man.
MDB hope you're recovering well! Question: Has there been occasions where you accidentally let your Pokémon evolve in these runs and you had to reset? If so, how many time? Love the runs!
Flygon HG just beat alpha safire with only six spheals. The greater number of Pokémon allows for more strategy instead of grinding. He played with hardcore nuzlocke rules also, incredible content with animations and all. However mydrybtead beating his head against a wall until it collapses has a charm to it. It never fails to entertain.
Question: How did it feel to JUST miss out on being the Danish representative to Eurovision 2023? Second place man! ruclips.net/video/vy-pa98h4gQ/видео.html&ab_channel=DanskMelodiGrandPrix
Another youtuber I know just says use #question and puts emphasis on how that's important. Its not very original! But it's quick, easy to understand, and effective! love ya mdb!!
Mdb love your videos! On now rewatching all your challenges! Would love to see fire red butterfree only! Can't wait till you're 100% again! Keep up the amazing work
Idea for a run: Beat a pokemon game by using the Pokemon each Gym leader uses to defeat that Gym leader (debatable if you should also use their moveset) and use the champion‘s team for elite4 and champion. Might not be the hardest challenge, but maybe an interesting one?
Fascinating run! And great to hear you're feeling better as things go on. Hopefully everything settles down with time. Would love to see pokemon emerald with only one castform, speaking of emerald
I also really love the elder scroll challenges, it was funny :-) and of course pkmn challenges are always interesting, cause it's the chance to see forgotten pokemon that are never used or not often
AskMDB: my question is, which region is your favorite to do challenges in, and least favorite besides Unova. Good to see the challenges and videos returning.
Hey there MDB! I love watching your challenges every week!! Here is my question for you: Do you ever think you’d attempt a challenge run in any rom hack or fan made Pokémon game?
Great vid as always. If you ever have another emerald run with a pokemon that has access to ghost and dark moves, I recommend having both. I'm sure you just forgot because it is stupid, but in until gen 4, all ghost moves were physical. That could've helped with Lunatone since it would ignore the light screen and calm mind special defense boosts.
Great run as always. Nice to see you back doing regular challenges after your health issues. I think you might have won the Steven fight if you used calcium to raise your special attack further. Might have just given you the edge. Question for you: are you still looking at doing Pokémon stadium 2 playthrough? Not one for watching playthroughs generally but really enjoyed stadium 1 with you, whattageek and Brandon
Pacifilog Town showing up in the anime helped me pronounce it. It's pretty tough at a glance, until you realize it's just Pacific Log Town (you see, it's clever because it's made of *logs* and it's on the *ocean*).
Maybe for the question how about MDB's Slice of the Day(could just be shortened to MDB's Slice)? Sharing your thoughts is like giving a piece of the bread loaf. MDB's Slice of the Day: Do you plan on doing any Gen 6 challenges anytime soon? X and Y have a lot of Pokémon options, TMs are pretty good, the Leveling System isn't awful like Gen 5, and EXP. Share pumps your Zigzagoon up for better Pickup Items. I suggest a Drowzee run, In-game Trades run, and No Healing at Pokémon Center run. Sorry for the rambling.
My favorite conspiracy for pokemon was definitely that Red on Mt.Silver is actually his ghost after he retired from being the best of the best pokemon trainers.
Lovely run! Loved snorunt since I first saw him in I think gen4. On the outro part, I've played viccy2 quite a bit, but i prefer Europa Universalis 4. havent had a chance to check out viccy3 yet. Nice to see another paradox game enjoyer!
My suggestions for what to call your Q and A section is "Bread Bites" or "Bread Bits." "Bread Crumbs" could work, but I like the alliteration. Couldn't think of a question, though.
I was going point out that Water Pulse would have been good for dealing with Fire-types... but then I remembered that you don't get the TM for it until the eighth Gym. Also, my two cents on the "Blue's Raticate" theory: Blue (or whatever you named your rival) specifically states that he's in Pokemon Tower looking for a Cubone. Later on, he says that he's put together a team of the strongest Pokemon while working on his Pokedex. It's far more probable (and let's be honest, more in-character with Blue's general attitude in Gen I) that he simply put his Raticate in the PC after it started falling behind the rest of his team--which is what most players probably did the first time playing through the games. As for challenge ideas: Emerald with only Zangoose & Seviper Any game with only Pokemon that are available before the first Gym.
Questions (Q and A) what boss in any game you played that gave you the most trouble And what champion gives you the most trouble in your runs expect Steven or (N/getsas because of the legendary )
Snorut always looks like it wants a hug. I love them
gotta agree always loved how it behaved in the anime as well Happy Snorunt in cold weather is adorable perfectly examble is Ash´s battle with Juan
The problem with this: he's an ice type, so your body heat will instead melt him. But I agree he's certainly one of the most huggable ice types in the entire series.
Them? You mean it?
@@DuskLegendThere're many, many Snorunt out there, so them is perfectly acceptable
@PBK1977 you've restored some of my faith in humanity, thank you.
Love that you changed the text boxes to match the ice typing. It's the small details like that, that show how dedicated you are to quality videos.

An Emerald run with Surskit would be pretty tough I think.
Pretty sure he's done that before.

Kecleon doesnt have protean in gen3. Its type changes to moves that hit it not moves it uses
@@ericsegura4977 I said use Hidden Power on Kecleon, not Kecleon using it
Can I just say i love how this came out on the same day another RUclipsr made a Hoenn run with all spheals.
Flygon HG

Better get Brother Ray and Brother Devon to get the tables to cushion this challenge 😄
I'm hoping they were the names for the HM pokemon.
DEEEVOOON!!!
GET THE TAAAAABLEEEEEESSSS!!!!!! 🤪

I love that you changed the chat border to a snow theme. Nice little touch.
Love the challenge! Snorunt is one of my favourites just cause of the dramatic change on evolution.
Question time, Have you ever played Pokemon Conquest? and if so did you like the movement stuff in combat? if not, would you do a challenge run?
Oh hey it's the run I've requested since forever and even started before my computer died! Very excited to see this one!
QnA: What is your favorite Pokémon creepypasta?
Glad to see you back!

I’m so happy you are feeling better, I was missing your videos so much!
Hey MDB! Excellent challenge, even better fossil choice. This channel is one of the best on RUclips.
My question for you to answer in this great new segment is...
Which pokemon would be the hardest (in your opinion) to fight in a Wrestling Match?
2:01 -- as Gym Leader Matt would say: RUNT, BROTHER!!!
A simple option is have a pinned comment. Or get the community to always up vote someone and everyone replies to that main comment with questions
great stuff as usual bro!
I love Snorut, it's one of my favorite pokemon in the cute category
Challenge idea: Only rock moves in Platinum.
i’ve been asking for this for 2 years i am so happy
Question: What's your favorite pokemon creepypasta?
Snorunt is such a cute lil chilly boi 💙
Random question for your next grinding session: (I think it should be called TLQ: Taking Lots of Questions. Of course, for the reference to the most average PPV special in wrestling, TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs)
With so many years on RUclips and so many series under your belt, has there ever been a series you regret making? Maybe you made it despite not having fun during it, or your comments hated it despite you loving it?

oh man the little menu bar switch was a nice touch for this challenge lmao
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”
Proceeds to cross bridge.
Yes, I saw 😂
Hey MDB! What is you favorite let’s play you’ve ever done on the channel I just finished Pokémon stadium and need a good recommendation.
1:40 "Picked to replace Treeko so our rival would have Blaziken" *laughs in gen 3* Combusken or bust XD
A Pokemon Emerald run using only moves of a specific contest type might be an interesting one. Maybe something like only using moves that are listed as Clever?
Appearantly being the 0.01% I loved hearing that you like Victoria 2 and 3. Fun to see people have the same wildly niche taste in games I seem to have :D
Here's my question for you!
Have you had a really awesome challenge idea that you keep or kept pushing back and back?
Surprised you’re still going strong with this, also surprised I’m still watching these 😂 keep it up!
15:03 "Brotherunt used Returned"
*HE HATH RETURNED*
What if we call the Q&A "Breadcrumbs"?
Question: If you were an Elite 4 member, which five Pokémon would comprise your team. Bonus points if you use Pokémon that you’ve done challenges with.
Text boxes now match the type? Neat=)Thank you for the video=)
Pokémon stadium 2 play through with the boys anytime soon? #AskMDB
I didn't mean to give this a thumbs down initially! I'm so sorry, I changed it to a thumbs up. Haha. You're one of my favorite creators on RUclips and I'm glad you're feeling healthy enough to get back to it. Cheers, man.
MDB hope you're recovering well!
Question: Has there been occasions where you accidentally let your Pokémon evolve in these runs and you had to reset? If so, how many time? Love the runs!
Snorunt, the Pokémon that simultaneously that can evolve into one of my favorite AND one of my least favorite Pokémon.
Designwise, Snorunt is really cute and one of my favorite Pokémon next to Jigglypuff, Marill, Mantine and Litwick
Flygon HG just beat alpha safire with only six spheals. The greater number of Pokémon allows for more strategy instead of grinding. He played with hardcore nuzlocke rules also, incredible content with animations and all.

Another run with just a little guy, 10/10, excited for the ladyba run lol
Sorry for not being live the past two weeks. On vacation in the Alps, where I can't access my account.
Disappointed that the wrestling name wasn't Al Snorunt but I'll take it lol, super entertaining run as always!
As always I enjoyed the run a lot, Tate and Liza surprised me a lot. Which fossil did you took btw?
Hey there MDB! I love watching your challenges every week!! Here is my question for you:
Do you ever think you’d attempt a challenge run in any rom hack or fan made Pokémon game?
The way he mentioned taking the root fossil was a bit more sassy today. 10/10
Great vid as always. If you ever have another emerald run with a pokemon that has access to ghost and dark moves, I recommend having both. I'm sure you just forgot because it is stupid, but in until gen 4, all ghost moves were physical. That could've helped with Lunatone since it would ignore the light screen and calm mind special defense boosts.
Great video as always!
Q&A Question - if you were organizing a Pokemon Royal Rumble, what Pokemon would you want to see in it and which one would win?
Great run as always. Nice to see you back doing regular challenges after your health issues.
I think you might have won the Steven fight if you used calcium to raise your special attack further. Might have just given you the edge.
Question for you: are you still looking at doing Pokémon stadium 2 playthrough? Not one for watching playthroughs generally but really enjoyed stadium 1 with you, whattageek and Brandon
Pacifilog Town showing up in the anime helped me pronounce it. It's pretty tough at a glance, until you realize it's just Pacific Log Town (you see, it's clever because it's made of *logs* and it's on the *ocean*).
My question was metioned in the video! I really didn't expect that, so out of nowhere :D Thanks!
I've wanted this run for a long time!!
Oh snap! Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magic Obscura! Love that game! Nobody ever mentions it...
It's kinda janky but the setting is so good! I love just exploring places and talking to everyone. Combat can be weird sometimes, but it's still fun.
I always loved this lil gremlin vibes pokemon
Maybe for the question how about MDB's Slice of the Day(could just be shortened to MDB's Slice)? Sharing your thoughts is like giving a piece of the bread loaf.
MDB's Slice of the Day: Do you plan on doing any Gen 6 challenges anytime soon? X and Y have a lot of Pokémon options, TMs are pretty good, the Leveling System isn't awful like Gen 5, and EXP. Share pumps your Zigzagoon up for better Pickup Items.
I suggest a Drowzee run, In-game Trades run, and No Healing at Pokémon Center run.
Sorry for the rambling.
I'd love to see a Victoria 3 playthrough, what I've heard of it sounds fun!! I'd also love to see another no healing run in a game you haven't done
For the segment:
Muh-question-Bread
Because it's sandwiched in the run and that's just hilarious!
My favorite conspiracy for pokemon was definitely that Red on Mt.Silver is actually his ghost after he retired from being the best of the best pokemon trainers.
I stoped Watching you for like a year but I’m now just seeing this video and remembering that iconic line with the root fossil😂

Question: in your mind what makes a game a good candidate for a challenge run video and vice versa?
I think something like #which fossil would be great, or #____fossil with whichever one you chose that episode.
I was going point out that Water Pulse would have been good for dealing with Fire-types... but then I remembered that you don't get the TM for it until the eighth Gym.
Also, my two cents on the "Blue's Raticate" theory: Blue (or whatever you named your rival) specifically states that he's in Pokemon Tower looking for a Cubone. Later on, he says that he's put together a team of the strongest Pokemon while working on his Pokedex. It's far more probable (and let's be honest, more in-character with Blue's general attitude in Gen I) that he simply put his Raticate in the PC after it started falling behind the rest of his team--which is what most players probably did the first time playing through the games.
As for challenge ideas:
Emerald with only Zangoose & Seviper
Any game with only Pokemon that are available before the first Gym.
Mah dry bread is hands down the best Pokémon challenge RUclipsr.
Questions (Q and A) what boss in any game you played that gave you the most trouble
And what champion gives you the most trouble in your runs expect Steven or (N/getsas because of the legendary )
