      Yeah I just got this video recommended today. Never been to this channel before, but would have 100% watched the first one when it came out if RUclips had recommended it to me. This is such a fun concept and I would personally love to see other gens.

      It’s probably bc these “can you beat pokemon…” videos have been extremely outplayed in general so people already know the answer. Yes you can beat Pokémon with… anything

      Yeah, it seems like the correlation between quality of video/challenge and number of views is very weak. This video is pretty much perfect imo (interesting/difficult challenge, good narration etc), definitely deserves more views. I'd sooner be looking up marketing/SEO strats than give up on this kind of content because it's definitely great quality

      @@loulou3676 I'll be honest, I think the last one got a low reception probably has more to do with the offhand comment made earlier on about how the run petered out at the second gym. It makes sense to me that *that* one wouldn't pull many viewers, whereas this, a game that goes a much longer distance, would.

    Great content as always my man! When I first saw this challenge in red i assumed from the title that each move was 1 PP per Pokemon. So you could use every pokemons move once before you have to go to the pokemon center. Which sounds way more doable, but seems like you are doing fine even with the far more difficult version.

    I wonder how this challenge could be used when mixed with Gen 7 where depending on the move you could gain a lot of levels in a single battle by using the sos chaining.

    I don't know if people properly appreciate how clever your writing at times. That alliterative bit about Gyarados vs Steelix was great.

    That was by far the most impressive pokemon challenge run I've ever seen. Sure, speedruns can break the games in half, and single pokemon runs can be tough, but this clearly took an ENORMOUS amount of effort, both planning and grinding resets. But in the end, the shiny beedrill was totally worth it.

    I'm surprised that this series isn't doing better than it is. I've never seen your channel before, but I knew that I wanted to watch this just from the title.
