For the record, I mixed up Aura Sphere and Focus Blast
Somehow
Screw it focus sphere or aura blast
"Is this like a Diamond and Pearl thing that they fixed in Platinum?" Actually yes! DP is notorious for having just pure random AI for all its trainers, but in Platinum they went back to the trainers actually considering anything before choosing their moves.
It’s so stupid
@@bettyunicorn6132 And makes Nuzlockes of D/P a nightmare. Hard to pivot and strategize around randomness.
Honestly I kinda guessed it was like that in every game. I notice it in diamond/pearl, black/white, and X. So do they only make the AI smart in the second generation batch of games?
I'm assuming they didn't fix this in BD/SP, did they? 😮💨
@@GelatinCoffee Trainers only have random AI in DP though :) But only important trainers have good AI in BW/XY
"You're probably wondering why Pearl when I typically just do Platinum..."
The perfect intro for "Can I Beat Pokemon Diamond..."
Hah!
Can't wait for "Can I beat Pokémon Diamond with one Blissey?"
Spoilers: you can't. You'll die IRL first.
This video will be getting comments for years letting MDB know that aura sphere can’t miss. Nice to have that guaranteed interaction with the video
just like the FO4 dogmeat armour xD
On the way to not missing Aura Sphere, he took the Helix Fossil
Well
They ARE good for the youtube algorithm.
I'm going to have to ask for Swift to miss in a video just to see what happens in the comments
"We would have won if Lucario missed that Aura Sphere"
...Huh... Aura Sphere cannot miss 😅
I must have been thinking focus blast
@@MahDryBread Aura Sphere and Focus Miss are very different, lol
The duality of fighting special moves
For real, I was thinking the same thing about the dark elite 4 member in my rematch in pokemon white. Then 1 1/2 hours later going "duh 🥴 he wasn't getting bull shit accuracy luck. Feint attack can't miss... So my double team cheap win would have never worked..."
@@blue_boo3171 well duh
Prinpulp had me questioning if I had just read the name wrong or if it was a classic Mah-Dry-Bread pronunciation
Nah he called it “Prinpulp” and “Prinpull” around the 2 and 4 and a half minute mark
IIRC, he knows it’s wrong. At this point, I think he does it on purpose, just to get comments.
Or it could just be human error, we all mispronounce things
I was cringing every time he said that XD
@@TiagoNomad engagement is good for the algorithm
"Fly alone isn't gonna cut it." Right, that's why you have Cut. ;-)
Cut alone isn't gonna fly.
I love that it works both ways
😂😂😂
hahahha
Here's a challenge idea for you: Play Platinum (or whatever) without using the letter E. No moves with E, no pokemon with E, no held items with E.
Interesting idea. That would be cool to see
I looked into it a bit, and a hig hurdle is the starters. Of the ones that don't have an E, all of them up to gen 3 start with tackle, which can't work. Torchic knows scratch so RSE is the first gen it can be done.
@boazplays7239 Yeah, that'll be tough. Maybe there's another letter to avoid using that won't make it as difficult from the start 🤔
MDB declares he’s playing Diamond, only to immediately start explaining why he chose PEARL over Platinum.
Midway through the episode I was so confused
How about a "using only pokemom that evolve through friendship" challenge
Can he evolve them?
Great vid MDB, but I couldn't help but chuckle at "... if Lucario just missed that aura sphere we would of won." when aura sphere bypasses accuracy checks.
I was just about to comment the same thing. Bro was going through it, hoping for an impossible miss
He has pretty poor game knowledge so it doesn't surprise me. He knows the basics for the most part but that's about it.
I was so confused when he said that...
Does it? Neat.
@@pkmntrainermark8881Yeah. The only way Aura Sphere is going to do nothing is if it's somehow used against a Ghost type.
You think he ever noticed that his Bibarel had Unaware?
"We got a Defense drop with our only mon that's incapable of taking advantage of Defense drops."
I'm glad to hear you are doing well in the personal life! I didn't know you had split up with your wife, completely missed it. Last I remember she was coming back from France.
You are one of the most wholesome RUclipsrs I know, hope you are getting support. I hope to catch your streams again, time zone makes it difficult, but I did get one character named after me in CK3 (:
One of the rare runs where a humble Zubat poses more of a threat then entire Gyms.
Probably not That rare after leech life got its power buff in later gens (I guess rare for mdb challenge runs though. Since he doesn't do gen 6 or further)
@@GelatinCoffeeZubat only gets absorb after that point.
In all honesty that particular Zubat is roided to all hell
25:21 : "...where Lucario just missed that Aura Sphere, we would've won"
Aura Sphere can't miss, MDB. So, you had no chance whatsoever.
Exactly.
2:36 “We went to finish it off with Prinpulp”
Prin Pulp xD
4:26 “It hit toxic on Prin Pull” xD
25:21 “If Lucario just missed that Aura Sphere”
Uh… Bread, buddy… Aura Sphere never misses…
I'm still going to write down my BW2 hidden grotto only pokemon!
- you can only use hidden grotto encounters
- you can use the randomizer to make the starters to: sap sipper marill, rattled dunsparce and scrappy lillipup
- the starters have hidden abilities and they are from the ranch's grotto which is the "closest" one
- you can have a full team and extra pokemon in the box if you come across more pokemon etc.
Great idea! It should result in some new strategies with the unique natures
Im not sure the randomizer is able to give starting Pokémon hidden abilities.
@@MagusAgrippa8 Ah dang good point, I hope it can so he could start with one of them
Petition for you to rename any Gyarados you use to "WTRONYX"
I would love to see you someday take on Pokémon Platinum using only your rival's team, I have said so before and I think his floundering during the double battle in this episode shows why. But an idea came to me during this video that I have just got to try out in a ROM, what would it look like if the rival used a MDB pokémon team instead? I shall have to get back to you on this.
Rival team in platinum would be so frustrating because you have to get a munchlax and a heracross from honey trees
@@lmnisop5516 Yeah, that's going to be a pain in the arse.
Pokémon Challenge suggestion: You are free to go with the game of your choice, but the challenges is using only middle evolution stage pokémon. (For Exemple: If you pick Bulbasaur as your starter, you can only battle with Ivysaur.) You are not allowed to use pokémon who's has no evolution or only 1, it must be a pokémon with a 2 stage linear Evolution. So pokémon like Eevee or Tyrogue are not allowed, but pokémon like Oddish, Poliwag or Ralts are allowed.
Try number: 6
Having done a couple of these myself recently, I would like to see MDB try it. There are some good middle forms, but definitely still can be a challenge.
Though a complicated addendum: Your array of middle forms depends on the generation or region a Pokemon actually is a middle form. (For example, no Golbat in Kanto since Crobat wasn't a thing yet, or no Magmar until generation 4 or Sinnoh)
I love that if the second rule was relevant it would say that you can't use Hm Pokemon in battle. Therefore on a technicality the run isn't possible. Keep up the good work MDB😃
Unlisted watcher here! Good to hear you've finished navigating thru the world of divorce (not "good" but you get what i mean)! Been watching these for years but haven't made it to a stream yet.
I just found my copies of Blue and Yellow the other day and was considering doing a run (or maybe just pokedex completion tho I'd be short 4 mons without glitches) on a physical cart cause why not. I've got Stadium 2 so that makes it a bit easier (tho i need to unlock Doduo mode at least).
why did him and his ex wife split apart
That's his business@@fromthepast5133
Id also like to know why
He talked about it about two-three months ago give or take, but it’s basically just a wanting different things/fell apart
@@that.guy.1208wait so him & his wife split?
Mdb: what's with the ai in diamond?
Me: you can't spell diamond without it
"Cut is a good upgrade for us." Words I never thought I'd hear
I'm so hyped for Mystery Dungeon!! So glad to have it back again :D
Me too!
I feel like a Diamond run with one Aipom is the natural spiritual successor to this run
HMs only AKA Surf - the run.
I doubt they thought anything of early toxic, after all items in battle are the default so it never really builds up.
Fun fact, Garchomp gets Surf, Rock Smash, Strength, Rock Climb and Cut, so would actually be useable in this run, would solve that electric weakness.
Oh didn't know that
Ladies, it's official! MD effin B is a bachelor again!
Don't jump him all at once now.😉
MDB:"If Lucario just missed that Aura Sphere we would have won."
Me: O.o
I dunno if he was making an ironic joke, or if somebody needs to tell him...
Isn't it kind of poetic in an HM only playthrough that the most famous HM-slave got the final hit to win the run? Idk if Mah-Dry-Bread did that on purpose, but regardless, in my mind, it just solidifies Bibarel as the king of pokemon HM moves with such an incredible performance like that!!
The let's play I want back is the Crusader Kings one. You're the one who got me to start playing CK. Halfway want to go back and rewatch one of the old ones but those playthroughs are so long.
The Jewish Bohemia and Shiekh of Mecca CK2 ones are both great, especially Bohemia. The Wessex CK3 one has some of the best comedy; amazing stuff like...*DuKe pHiLiPpE*
2:07 defog: am i a joke to you
Pointless trivia:
He actually got some decent luck with his early party members.
- Bidoof with Adamant nature, which is its best nature. + Atk, - Sp Atk. Awesome, especially early on when having to rely on Rock Smash and Cut.
- Starly had a "Proud of its power" characteristic, which indicates a high Attack IV. Very handy on his Fly user.
- Magikarp had a "Loves to eat" characteristic, which indicates a high HP IV. Which is actually pretty good on a Water Onix.
- And Sassy actually isn't bad for an Empoleon; it has low Speed anyway, and rather good Special Defense, so numerically least it was a good nature.
And yeah, the level jump for the Elite Four was quite the obstacle for Diamond/Pearl, though it balanced out a bit due to their team options (Aaron had to use starter bugs, for crying out loud; and Flint is notorious for being a Fire specialist in a game with only 2 Fire types). Though we also didn't have only 4 move types available for use, so good on MDB for working through that.
I am so glad that you mentioned that twitch is free to watch and join and follow people cuz I would always just ignore anything anyone posted about twitch cuz I figured it was just another way to get us on a paid platform you know something that I can't afford to do I had no idea it was free to do so thanks so much for that information I understand a lot of people that follow you probably already knew that but there's a few people like me who had no idea
And now we wait to see if ‘aura sphere can’t miss’ will become as infamous as ‘dogmeat can wear armor’
I feel ya on the life thing. That's why I've been absent from commenting. Still enjoying all the runs and glad things are on the up and up for you. Will definitely check out a stream if I ever catch one.
0:55 into the video and RUclips asks (while the video is still playing and Not paused) "are you still watching?" 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like Cut should have an effect that it's always super effective against grass types lol
I’ve been watching your content for years, and it’s actually inspired me to do my own challenge runs in other games.
Ive only done one challenge run in pokemon (other than nuzlockes) and that was a random number generator run in emerald and fire red. It was pretty fun as I got a lot of bad pokemon (I got luvdisk and mawile in emerald) and even a repeat in fire red (magnamite and magnaton)
I’ve mostly been doing challenge runs in JRPGs like octopath traveler and bravely default 2. Actually the first one was in bravely default 2, being no braving and no defaulting. It was quite fun and I still came out with pretty broken builds.
I’m currently near the end of one, which is octopath 2 with only elemental skills. I’ve been logging it on Reddit, as I don’t have a capture card yet, and it’s been very fun.
Anyways, all I want to say is thank you. You’ve brung me joy and I love your challenge runs and playthroughs.
Interesting and fun run! Good luck on redoing let's plays if you do, otherwise good luck on whatever you do. No matter what, have fun!
hi bread, i havent watched u in a while, i came back and ur videos were even better than before!
TW TW TW TW-TWITTER? /?!!?!!!?!!!??!!??!!!??!...
Excuse me just for house keeping reasons really, would you mind sharing the chosen fossil please? You did neglect to mention it here.
Love your vids MDB, I hope you settle into the bachelor life smoothly, and I hope you’re in good health these days! Keep up the amazing videos!
Wow really cool challenge!!
Hope to see more creative challenges like this
Quite honestly, I'm excited for more of ANY game with Whatta and Brandon! You 3 are by and large my fav trio playing games! Toss in Joe and it's even better!
Love the personal update. Sorry you went through a break up but seems like it was for the best! Looking forward to seeing you stream!
Nice to see a Diamond challenge=3 Wishing you a nice week!
Great video my dude
0:15 Yes, I am thinking why Pearl, I thought you were doing Diamond lol
Who gonna tell MDB that aura sphere can't miss?😂
"If lucario missed that aura sphere" good luck with that mate
Gotta love a Prinpulp and it's evolution Emploeon
And yes, aura sphere can't miss, ever
Imagine MD f'n D playing the inferior gen4 games only to not be stuck in lv100 Struggle hell, which even then is no HM.
Absolutely professional. Truly why he's the Big League.
...
you know, Diamond and Pearl absolutely SUCK since you can't even make a fossil joke, they're locked to your specific game choice. A shame, truly.
1k likes! Love the content MDB
Hey man I love ur vids and watching u reminds me of my cousin who passed do to a crash, he loved ur vids and watch all of them his favorite was the chancy run in black and white. Love u man take care
Hey! I'm really sorry to hear about your cousin. I hope I can remind you of some good memories with him.
#MDBA Challenge idea:
Can you Beat Oblivion, Poison only run?
The rules are pretty simple:
- you can only use Poison as a means of dealing damage
- when using alchemy, you can only make poison
of course, you can add rules as you see fit
As usually, I'm writing this before you ever did the challenge
let me know in the comments if MDBA decides to do it at any point.
Comments are good for the YT algorithm after all
WHOO! A challenge where we know when it was recorded! Love those!
5:54 I learned recently that the trainer AI in Diamond & Pearl *ALWAYS* chooses a random move, even if they have a super effective attack.
"Cut is a pretty huge upgrade." Said no one ever before this video :P
Version exclusive runs are fun to watch.
I got very excited when I heard Aipom, my favorite Pokémon, was gonna be used, and since it didn’t I’m once again asking for Pokémon Soul Silver with only one Aipom.
A fun run could be 'Pokemon Platinum with Crasher Wake's Team' Iirc, it's Water Onix, Floatzel, and Quagsire. They get some good coverage.
I love your videos! It is great to watch you traveling!
I have some ideas for future runs! So the first is Vulpix only run in gen 4. In Platinum it should work? Heart Gold/Soul Silver is way harder this way, so i guess a full team of them?
An easy run (you need those too, so don't complain!) would be an Eeveelution run. All 7 of gen 4 in Platinum. In Heart Gold Soul Silver this should work too? I'm not sure where you can evolve Leafeon and Glaceon. So best should be Platinum.
Third is, can you beat Pokémon Crystal as Elite 4 Bruno? I'm not sure how well or bad this will run. I guess it could be easy, but i don't know.
I hope you can realize the ideas!
With all this free time I'd love to see the return of Mario Party. Brandon has materialized as Player 3 Peach on my Nintendo Switch and he's pulling Hidden Blocks left and right.
You're my only hope Mah... You're my only hope Whattageek!
More Nancy Drew
“Fire” Elite Four member. Lopunny, Drifblim, and the fire starter. What was you smoking GF??? 😂
Torrent on Empoleon is probably why Surf was doing more against Gyarados than Rock Climb, along with Empoleon just having much better Special Attack, anyway.
Imagine doing an entire run using only Pokémon found in honey trees. Sounds like the kind of run you put on the back burner as you try to gather your team.
You're in luck, because MDB actually already did Pokemon Platinum with only honey tree pokemon about 3 years ago. Worth a watch.
You might never see this but challenge idea if you want it, WWE / wrestling run where you pick either your favorite wrestler or have us vote for a wrestler and find a Pokemon "Version" Like Kane=Charmander or something like that. It can be a team run if you want or solo Sikoa run ☝.
OMG he's actually doing the challenge I proposed like years ago on one of the first few challenges! I think it was the Wobbuffet one.
I'm sorry to hear about the split. I hope you didn't get too bombarded on Twitter. Hope you keep healing and that you keep pushing ahead.
From random guy on the interweb number 5, you certainly make relaxing in my life easier, I hope you can find that same comfort you provide some of us.
"Today's the day we figure out would I be able to to beat diamond with only HMs. Now you might be wondering why pearl and not platinum" well no, I was wondering why not diamond now 😂
Interesting choice to fight the Elite 4 with only 5 members. I know the 6th spot with meant for Aipom but I’m sure you could have thrown anyone else to do some chip damage or tank some hits.
another pkmn run from MDB, they're fun to watch
My favorite HMs are Roar of Time and Constrict
Fun run!
Dang, you didnt change hm to tm pokemon for the bit, great vid though as always!
Prin-plup, not Prin-pulp.... It hurts MDB xD
Should’ve just grabbed a Geodude at the beginning of the game. Geodude is actually insane for playthroughs
Garchomp might be the most overpowered pokemon I've ever seen
All the 'Are you going to do Pokemon x' questions, when I'm just wondering about more Bannerlord when. Glad to hear that's still in the cards as well :3
25:20 Aura Sphere has unlimited Accuracy....
I've got a few for ya
- LG/FR with Butterfree and Beedrill
- using only Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic pokemon
- Stone evolution only
- Friendship evolution only
- Trade evolution only
I unwittingly did this challenge on my first play through at 6 yrs old. Mike the torterra ended up knowing cut strength rock smash and rock climb at lvl like 90something. Didn’t know the move deleter existed until I was 7
heres an interesting challenge, pokemon b/w but you can only use pokemon with intimidate. there are some good options that you wouldnt typically get to use (gyarados, stoutland, krookodile and even scrafty if youre willing to try and find a hidden ability one)
"If lucario just missed that aura sphere..."
Me: "Uhh..."
Loved Prinpulp
I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is.
For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
Oh cool it’s Saturday. Time for me to check if the raft play through got updated
Any generation you feel like playing using only TM moves would be a fun and breezy team run. I’d ban HM moves from that run so it doesn’t turn into the Surf and Strength show like HM runs tend to. Platinum gives you Return almost immediately, but most gens would work.
Also recommending Stunky in HGSS again because he’s a cute Pokemon
My Staraptor that beat Cynthia with Fly: Allow me to introduce myself
This might be an intersting idea in some Romhacks. Like with how Drayano usually changes the HM moves to be more interesting.
So close to my run idea of using just one mew with no hm pokemon, would be so interesting to know if it's even possible considering how many hms are needed in each game
"If Lucario just missed that Aura Sphere"... umm.... Aura Sphere bypasses Accuracy and Evasion checks, it CANNOT miss...
Man, I love Sinnoh Runs. Shame most of your moves were normal. But if you're gonna do a Normal-Heavy Sinnoh Run, you should do a Platinum Lopunny Solo!
In Platinum you could theoretically trade in a Scrappy Miltank or Kangaskahn for Gym 3 since they can both learn Rock Smash.
A fun pokechallenge you could do is first form only. You can use whatever pokemon you want, so will be fun.
It feels like the team needed a bit more variety here
25:21 MDB, I regret to inform you that Aura Sphere literally cannot miss.
Thanks for the life update.
I was wondering what happened when I heard mdb say girlfriend. But hey that's private life and thats fine but it is nice to have a "formal" update, so we don't have to ask. Its good to hear there was no major health issues mentioned presumably that means things are going pretty reasonably at a minimum. And presumably having more time for streams also means more lets plays and challenges. I hope you're health is actually as good as it has sounded recently. Sounds like you're in a lot better place than you were 2 years or so ago. So I'm happy aboit that. Take care and stay safe.
