Congrats on the shout-out in Jrose's Venomoth run! Was pretty nice to see that. Also didn't expect to deal with TWO videos involving Mr. Mime today, MDB's and yours, yet here we are. Also DROOOOPPED MY BALLLSSS
This really makes you wonder what Mr. Mime is capable of in gen. 4, where it gets access to Focus Blast in the Veilstone Department Store This could help against steel and dark types it otherwise struggles against Guess we'll have to wait for that video to come out
This is a wonderful video. My slightest suggestion is a personal opinion, but I really liked that you were doing evolutionary lines instead of all individual Pokémon with this game. So, I was a bit sad to see the final run here. But, overall it was a great video.
I like this video. Subvert expectations, relax a bit more, doing it the way you want instead of always bowing to rigidity. Thanks for the content, Scott.
Hey Scott speaking of versus videos I had an idea. I was watching poliwag and bellsprout/victoreebel again and in those videos you said their middle evolutions may be faster than their final evolution. Maybe a good versus video would be weepingbel and poliwhirl. Just an idea. Keep up the amazing work
Great video. Really love seeing you push the pokemon as far as you can! Can't wait for this and Gen 1 to both be done to see a full comparison in 2027.
Oh no, I guess I just HAVE to do a vs video with mewtwo now. Oh no, now I have to do hypno! Rhydon all over again lol This is the most Scott thing ever.
You mentioned how good Fighting types are in Gen 3 and with the strong showings of these Psychic types in this video there are some interesting differences to consider between Emerald and FRLG. Due to the remakes using teams from a time when Psychic was dominant it helps the type and both Bulk Up and Calm Mind are available close to each other. In Emerald Dark type opponents are more plentiful (with multiple mandatory Poochyena before the first badge) and Bulk Up is much earlier than Calm Mind so Fighting types have great advantages while the abundance of Poison and Flying types should slow them down in Kanto. P.S. In FRLG it feels like an easier choice than in Emerald for a Pokémon with access to Calm Mind that does use its Attack in some cases to have a Special Defense lowering Nature. It could have mattered with Mewtwo because Rash instead of Quiet would have allowed it to outspeed Lance's Aerodactyl which would have prevented its only reset.
I could tell looking over Mewtwo's shoulder at the beginning of the video we had an incoming surprise. Thus your most "Unfocused piece of content" became even more chaotic that's why I became a channel member, I love it. Anyways Mewtwo winning was no surprise really its stats and move pool are disgusting (in a good way). Ms. Mime did pretty well, although calm mind definitely helped. Hypno surprised me I wasn't aware it was supposed to be a mixed attacker, it makes sense I just over looked it so that doesn't help it much, it still had a good time though.
You mention that you need to be faster than the Pidgeot to be able to get to +3 without being Whirlwinded out... but doesn't the fact that Whirlwind and Roar are negative priority from Generation 2 onward mean that your Speed doesn't matter for that AI interaction? What would matter is knowing for sure that you will KO the Pidgeot on the turn it would choose Whirlwind.
These were great runs. I love the inclusion of Hypno. You go into it with Mr. Mime and Mewtwo and you said you didn't even expect to do this and now Hypno is like "UH WHAT ABOUT ME?" lmao.
I had very low expectations as I never liked the design, but Mr. Mime was one of my favourites to solo FR with. The type coverage makes the mid-game very smooth indeed, and it's a decently built psychic type so that's always helpful!
Heracross's Special Defense is surprisingly high, it's caught me off guard more than a few times. I've heard of people running sets in competitive Ubers tiers designed specifically to survive Mewtwo's Psychic and OHKO back with Megahorn. Pretty impressive.
I wonder how a meditate, shadow ball, and brick break moveset would be for Hypno, seeing as its physical attack stat was higher than its special attack stat.
I think the reason why Heracross used counter was because you had 1 physical move in your move set. Knowing it can survive a Brick Break it selected Counter as a possible move. Other than that... I feel bad that Hypno's special stat got nerfed so hard in Gen 2 it is unreal.
Maybe? Typically in gen3 the enemy has no idea what your ability is until they trigger it. Pokémon that only get Levitate as an ability will still get the AI to use Earthquake, but once they see the immunity then they try other things.
Filmed (FireRed and Platinum) still filming Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald. Still gotta do voice over and editing for the FireRed and Platinum videos. But with Eggsceptional on board it’s a team of 3 now so we’re just going to move faster and faster.
Scott: “I don’t have enough time to do a Hypno run…” Me: “I call BS, the data analyst in you is too damn curious” Scott: “…so of course I’m gonna do another run!” All is right with the world 😂
Why didn't you shock wave when muk used minimize? Isn't always more optimal to use a guranteed hit move over missing a lot then resetting even if you can high roll a one turn knockout by hitting a psychic?
After seeing the Ms. Mime playthrough, I already knew you probably should have gone for a Speed nature as soon as I saw the stat distribution. I was thinking of maybe lowering Special Defense, since it's the highest stat, but I'm no expert.
Dear Scott, I have an observation and a suggestion to make: 1. Substitute is a crazy move, to this day Pokemon AI struggles to understand what to do in the face of a substitute. 2. On the topic of terminology, one thing you may consider is expanding how you evaluate decision-making/plays. One interesting example of such classifying performance in magnitude is from the chess world - where they rate moves on an ordinal scale: with by-the-book plays as the baseline, strong plays are scaled: Good
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon happy to help, Scott! I hope it will also put errors into proportion for others but for you as well! Sometimes misplays are minor/negligible, other times they might cost a pokemon their chance at a decent run time.
I don’t if this has been said before or if it really matters but you can skip the animation when teaching a mon a move. On the gameboy, the minute the animation starts, you can skip it by pressing “B”. I’m not sure how that would work on PC, I mean, I guess whatever the “B” is bound to.
Scott's "try not to be a perfectionist" challenge, Impossible Difficulty
It's probably a side effect of his adhd

Jrose giving you a shout-out in his Venomoth video made my day!

I don't think he did 😂@@InfernosReaper

Ms. Mime: Prepare for trouble…
Mewtwo: …and make it double!
Hypno: *Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!*
Hahahahahaha
Best comment of 2024
Lmao love it!
Take my like
😂😂😂😂
Mew's son vs Ash's dad! Let's goooo!
I actually solo'd Sabrina with Mr. Mime - my secret is TM49 (Snatch). Steal Kadabra's Calm Mind boosts and sweep.
I love that strategy. I'll have to remember it for the future and hopefully I'll get a chance to show it off!
I've actually sold Sabrina with a spoink using this strat! Thief is also nice
"I don't think I'll need substitute for Brock."
Hey, some mons would REALLY appreciate using substitute on Brock
Clown vs Lab Experiment was not the video I was expecting
Star Wars gave us a bit of that, so I'm a bit prepared c:
@@MsAmber82 I preferred The Senate vs The Window, personally.
Rude, Mewtwo is not a clown! 😂
current US election be like:
You mean father vs cosplay gym girl?
Congrats on the shout-out in Jrose's Venomoth run! Was pretty nice to see that.
Also didn't expect to deal with TWO videos involving Mr. Mime today, MDB's and yours, yet here we are. Also DROOOOPPED MY BALLLSSS
Me: How many runs does this video have?
Scott: Yes.
I appreciate your consistency Scott.
It makes me so happy when you give in to your curiosity! Makes for amazing content and adds to your relatability. Thank you Scott!
This particular video has a kind of chaotic mad scientist energy that I absolutely love.
Ironic how Lance was a roadblock when Mr Mime is just a few gens away from gaining a Fairy type
This really makes you wonder what Mr. Mime is capable of in gen. 4, where it gets access to Focus Blast in the Veilstone Department Store
This could help against steel and dark types it otherwise struggles against
Guess we'll have to wait for that video to come out

What a plot twist at the end! Well done Scott. I love these more scattered videos!
Man, this is a piece of art. Let’s go Scott!
Great video. Really love seeing you push the pokemon as far as you can! Can't wait for this and Gen 1 to both be done to see a full comparison in 2027.
Hypno run threw me for a loop, was not expecting that! Scott has done it again!!
I actively cheered when I saw the final play through pop up. Absolutely loved this video.
Scott: doing mewtwo vs mime
Hypno, breaking through the roof: "SUP I HEARD YALL WERE DOING A VIDEO
Clown vs. Clone
@@MrEnte3000 VS evolved tepier
Oh no, I guess I just HAVE to do a vs video with mewtwo now. Oh no, now I have to do hypno! Rhydon all over again lol This is the most Scott thing ever.
And now we're going to add hypno. Cracked me up cause i just listen so i didn't expect another 20 minutes.
Love the animations! Great work! 🤘
Did not expect my mom to be going up against a cat lol
I wonder if Snatch would've worked against Sabrina to make it more consistent 🤔
Interested to see how this one turns out. Also so cool to hear the Jrose11 shout out.
With this special episode, I think Scott can now be called Pscott to reflect his Psychic usage
Pscott’s Thoughts lol
dude i loved this type of video multiple runs in one video all comparing eachother it’s really cool
I love making them too. My goal is to make more in this style!

That little animation at the end with hitmonlee and hitmonchan wombocomboing the psychic logo was great
The fighting-types are coming….
I sleep to these videos sometimes. Your voice is nice.

Hypno surprised me I wasn't aware it was supposed to be a mixed attacker, it makes sense I just over looked it so that doesn't help it much, it still had a good time though.
I think the real surprise for me with this experiment was just how difficult a time Hypno had when rematching Agatha.
Lol, I didn't look at the time remaining, so you totally fooled me with the fake outro! Love it!

Actually so funny seeing the whole Hypno run as well
This looks like an april fools video
Hehehe
Mr Mine was a so baller and learns really good moves . I used it in my last fr play and it crushed it
Yup. I've been consistently surprised with how good this thing is.
Scott: you could bring in Counter and counter Earthquake.
Me: How? Its an earthquake?
Mr. Mime Vs Loma Prieta, fight!
Weird cat clone thing vs Psychic clown
@@patonosequecosa and then
*OUT OF FREAKING NOWHERE*
some huge evolved tepier thingy
I wonder how a meditate, shadow ball, and brick break moveset would be for Hypno, seeing as its physical attack stat was higher than its special attack stat.
Good idea.
Iirc hyperbeam has some weirdo health based ai. It's a 'discouraged move', being so strong it breaks the normal decision tree
Mr. Mime: "Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be *legendary!*"

Thanks for making the effort :D
Praise be to the algo gods

Using rest to heal your health: big brain strat
Scott: you could bring in Counter and counter Earthquake.
Me: How? Its an earthquake? 😵💫
After that Hypno reveal I'm shocked to not see Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam slink their way in.
"Okay, Surge..." best quick quote 👌 😂
Wonder if insomnia is what made the gengars not use hypnosis? (Maybe a agatha only check)
Maybe? Typically in gen3 the enemy has no idea what your ability is until they trigger it. Pokémon that only get Levitate as an ability will still get the AI to use Earthquake, but once they see the immunity then they try other things.
3:15 So Substitute not only blocks trapping moves but also ends ones currently occurring? That’s incredibly OP
Yoooo we got a Hat Trick from Scott. Thank you for the amazing Sunday my friend!(:
If Scott was a god in Hades, for this run he would be offering the Psychic Boon.
This is basically "Triple Psychic Versus - The Movie" lmao
Wait, wait. Scott? you have the ENTIRE REST OF THE YEAR'S CONTENT SETUP?!
Filmed (FireRed and Platinum) still filming Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald. Still gotta do voice over and editing for the FireRed and Platinum videos. But with Eggsceptional on board it’s a team of 3 now so we’re just going to move faster and faster.
It's kind of funny that you and mahdrybread put out a Mr. Mime video on the same day. Small world among Pokemon fandoms
Definitely was expecting this today, very Based
my original playthrough of leaf green was using the traded mr. mime to destroy everything. Glad to see him preform so well
Jynx is gonna go wild in fire red
the misty animation really is so satisfying
Substitute is such a good move. I wish it were more widely available in the early gens
Mr Mime was one of my favourite to play with back in Gen 1
welll, this one gonna be good, Mime is underrated in FRLG
Scott: “I don’t have enough time to do a Hypno run…”
Me: “I call BS, the data analyst in you is too damn curious”
Scott: “…so of course I’m gonna do another run!”
All is right with the world 😂
Both you and MDB releasing Mr. Mime videos the same day in different games? Looks like I'll be awake for a while
Why didn't you shock wave when muk used minimize? Isn't always more optimal to use a guranteed hit move over missing a lot then resetting even if you can high roll a one turn knockout by hitting a psychic?
Yes. I frequently forget accuracy bypassing moves (also priority moves)
People say curiosity killed the cat, to that I say satisfaction brought it back, and that's why they have 9 lives.
Scott: "It didn't go for sleep powder"
The video: 47:05
🤣I had to do a double take
After seeing the Ms. Mime playthrough, I already knew you probably should have gone for a Speed nature as soon as I saw the stat distribution. I was thinking of maybe lowering Special Defense, since it's the highest stat, but I'm no expert.
Now we just need Alakazam to close with a bang
Wow I literally just caught these 2 in a randomized Gold nuzlocke.
love the gym leader animation there!

@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon happy to help, Scott! I hope it will also put errors into proportion for others but for you as well! Sometimes misplays are minor/negligible, other times they might cost a pokemon their chance at a decent run time.
What a delightfully weird match up.
Not gonna lie, after Hypno, I was expecting a 4th playtrough with Golem for no reason 😂😂
You could've finished Muk off with Shockwave in that first Mime run. It never misses
Perfect thing to watch while I play the Virtual Console on emulator.
I think you should try venomoth in platinum. It got access to tinted lens which is a huge buff (not very effective moves deal 2x damage)
I like how you named your rival Terry so the overlay is correct lmao
Odd, this is the second Mr Mime challenge run I’ve seen released recently. I guess great minds think alike.
Honestly, looking at the places that Mr. Mime struggled, if it had its fairy typing, it might really give Mewtwo a run for their money
I don’t if this has been said before or if it really matters but you can skip the animation when teaching a mon a move. On the gameboy, the minute the animation starts, you can skip it by pressing “B”. I’m not sure how that would work on PC, I mean, I guess whatever the “B” is bound to.
It does work! Cool
I love ur mr mime sprite it’s so cute
Yeah, Brian did a great job with it. I want to use it more!
Lt. Surge and Bruno should make a duo team
Surge never knew an opponent that used the move Substitute
Wildest colab of the year
nice strat learning magleaf after full setup mid battle
Do Mewtwo vs Caterpie.
The twist bieng, Mewtwo keeps his moveset but gets Caterpies stats and vice versa.
For Blue's team, he has mostly balance but his Pokemon are offensive. If anything having Blastoise gives him some defense.
and I still got love for the streets
it’s the D.R.T.
