It still was not working. Now that renember,i beated reds' snorlax by spamming espeons' sand-attack,and then baton passing to feraligatr,and spamming dynamic punch and just hoping for something like confusion luck or a critical hit.Still,feraligatr fainted,and i send out scyther,who uses slash,CRITICAL HITS,and makes snorlax faint.I really liked scyther,but that critical hit made me ADORE it. In fact,scyther was always pulling me through fights.

    This is such a cool concept. I played a romhack like this, but it had a fatal flaw in that while your only way of obtaining new Pokemon was taking them from others, they were still considered traded Pokemon. The amount of times an overleveled Pokemon would disobey made the hack feel tedious and too luck-based for my liking.

    • @trainershade1937
      @trainershade1937 4 года назад +32

      I mean, just in general people underestimate bug types. It's kind of justifiable in Gen 1, but by Gen 2, the bug type became remarkably powerful. Between the super defensive additions Shuckle and Forretress, along with the immensely powerful addition that is Heracross, bug types are no joke. Oh, and I guess Scizor exists too... So yeah, it doesn't make a lick of sense as to why people still shit on bug types.
      I mean, jeez... if people want to shit on a type, Ghost (specifically Gen 1 & 2) and Ice (who to this day only have like... 4 notably good Pokemon) are right there.

      @@harrisonbaguley5691 Beedrill only has 3 things going for it in gen 2, attack, special def, and twinneedle, since it's the 2nd best bug attack, and nothing gets megahorn. The special def is a buff when they split special into attack and def, and it's typing is bad. Gen 3 gives it sludge bomb, but only in postgame, so the only time I used it was in my bug type only Firered run.

      I swear to God Beedrill can 1HKO almost all the psychic types. He has healing moves, status moves, stat gaining moves, Twineedle, poison, grass, and fighting moves. Nobody at all gives him the props he deserves. Just yesterday I OHKO a level 100 Alakazam with Twineedle on Pokemon Stadium R2. He can sweep entire teams if he is set up properly. And people say there are no reliable counters for psychic types. Beedrill is the best. Beedrill is love. Beedrill is life. Fuck Beedrill skeptics. Fuck everybody that thinks only megahorn is viable, nah, you're just too lazy to learn to use Twineedle.

    Tbh it's probably the funniest and coolest pokemon challenge I've ever seen. The only ones who could maybe rival it in terms of fun strategizing are the "status move only" and "No pokemon center" ones (but they still are rather annoying because the fights are generally really tedious).
    Also, I could see the same challenge but changed a bit : Maybe you could only keep the team of the precedent gym leader/elite four... Or maybe you could always have the same team as your opponent (but if you lose, like in this video, you can keep the team to train it a bit)...
