Yeah, my dumb 7 year old self did a „dash-attack-only“-run, because he did not know that other attacks, which do not involve spamming the A-button even existed. 😅
Fun fact- Blast seeds are essentially grenades when you throw them. But eating them will restore a little hunger as well as cause damage only to the tile in front of you.
One mechanic that was probably super annoying in this run is that you aren't getting the bonus EXP that you would get from knocking out a pokemon with a move.
I actually finished explorers of time like that when i was a kid. I was so bad at english (not my mother language) that i only discovered how to use the moves after beating Dialga.
This video made me almost tear up from nostalgia. Absolutely my favorite game of all time was Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team, and the new version of it, DX mystery dungeon for switch, pays an excellent homage to the previous game and even keeps the same art style. Both games are an absolute wonder to play through and thankyou Zwiggo for letting me experience this gem once again
Just the thought of a no-move run was so stressful to think about.. I can’t believe you went to all of the effort of doing this, props man. Watched this video while I was shiny hunting, very entertaining. I love the mystery dungeon games more than anything!
9:34 Instead of letting Treeko stay beside Zapdos like a sacrifice, you could have just utilized the Tactics and command Treeko to get away so whatever move Zapdos will use it would lead to a miss on Treeko, (it would often times miss but it's still down to a matter of luck)
That's the time to strategize either by spamming sleep seeds, eat a explosive seed to deal 30 damage repeatedly or make use of learned moves and have Zapdos on low health as long as you have a stack of of oran berries and some reviver seeds this first boss fight won't be too hard unless if played on an emulator, players can just reload anytime but it's just a shame to do so, it takes away the thrill and triumph.
my neighbour yells at her dogs and young child (i think she is 7) over literally everything. one day i heard her literally scream, doors slammed and then heard 'i cant take this anymore' as she sobbed uncontrollably...she never leaves her house, doesnt have a boyfriend yet gets all these expensive new things. the amount of times she wakes me up at 8AM or even sooner is ludicrous
Funnily enough, right after release, my local walmart accidentally marked Mystery Dungeon Blue at $15 and i was able to get it on luanch day for half price.
I felt so dumb as a child. I always wondered how the other pokemon got so strong, until I realised end game that u can use items and your special moves
All I gotta say is that this is probably going to be one of the most *grind heavy" runs I've ever seen. Moves are what give you damage and without that you have to resort to head butting enemies to die.
This is great! I’m currently doing a “beating Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers with no moves” except the partner pokemon can use moves. The dojo, sleep seeds, and thorns are basically my best friends in this game. Edit: It’s done (has been for a while), Darkrai had been defeated. Spamming X-eye seeds is a 10/10 strategy.
LOVED it. Its really nice to see a spin-off game challenge. Also cuz I've never got past moltress and idk the full story. While you're doing spin off challenges, do a Pokemon Conquest challenge!(Like an only-eevee-jigglypuff run or something)
"Even from ThunderShock which is resisted." FYI, resistance is useless in Red/Blue Rescue Team, it's a mere 0.9x multiplier. That is, Meditite would take more damage from Psychic-type move than a Zigzagoon because of how laughably bad resistance multiplier is.
@@NazimUddin-we5tv That's the joke; resistance should inverse of weakness, but it's not. Meditite would take 45% (0.9x1.5) more damage than Zigzagoon, even though in main series they are both neutral to Psychic-type moves. This was fixed in Explorers where resistanceXweakness results in nearly 1x (it's more like 0.99x)
Ah yes, beating a Pokemon game by drugging them and throwing explosives as well as just literal rocks at them. PETA might come to your house and make noises louder than your neighbours.
Damn dude, massive respect for getting through this. I thought this said that you were beating it with no new moves, not no moves at all. These games aren't easy, so great job getting through it. Love the content man! 👏
Mystery dungeon: *the bare essentials run* When I first played this game I just tried to spam the a button to win and didn't use any moves nor tms because they "looked complicated" got my behind kicked then actually played the with just moves and still got my butt kicked because I wasted all my oran berries
This is one of my favourite game it has very good storyline and soundtrack I just love this game ❤️ and yeah we should respect his grind in this game because it is very hard and with no moves it is terrifying .
Man...this was my second Pokemon game ever. I still remember how frustated I was when I was trying to beat Moltres... a lot of memories come in surface with this run
See more pmd on your channel would be amazing, I love those spin offs, pokemon ranger would be great too. Pokemon games have some really cool and underrated spin offs
What a throw back! I remember my first ever run playing blue rescue team not knowing about special moves (i was super young to be fair)... i only found out about them when i got to the articuno boss fight after dying too many times
This hits the nostalgia bone hard for me. I still have both Red and Blue team, as well as the offical guide. Ditto for Time/Darkness (w/guide). Mystery dungeon is the most underrated Pokemon spin-off franchise. I'm glad that DX rebooted the franchise, it needs some love.
Loved the video Zwiggo! And would definitely love a Pokemon Ranger video, the humor in that game is so campy and dumb, is amazing. I don't know what challenge could you do for that game, but you will see me in the comment section of that video, promised.
I would love a Pokemon Conquest challenge. Pokemon Conquest is a Gen 5 spin-off game that is quite different to other Pokemon games. Instead of catching Pokemon, you are joined by other people to help you at battle! And evolution is very different. For example, a Gible will evolve into Gabite with 72 Attack, and into Garchomp with 142 Attack. Tbh, it's quite underrated, and I wanna see this great challenge: Pokemon Conquest without Losing any other Warriors! [Excluding yourself!]
You need to do a mystery dungeon game using NO ITEMS!!! Any PMD. I can't find any attempt at this on RUclips and I'm honestly surprised but I think you're the only person who would try it and film it
I remember when I played this game for the first time, I didn't even now you could use moves so I just kept spamming A and using gravelerocks and blast seeds, plus iron thorns and steel spikes late game.
Yes, yes you can. In fact, in the postgame, i just punched legendaries into submission with my Sceptile, because they just broke way too fast if i actually used my moves... ...i really want to experimence the good old days again. Not-so-fun fact: when i was a kid, i read on bulbapedia that Mew is "only available once per game", which i misinterpreted as "If you can't get it first try, you need to delete your save file and start again." And so i did. About a dozen times (literally). If only i didn't go to bulbapedia to help, i might've 100% this game ;(
Took me until halfway through the game to realise "Moves" were in the game. Didn't know I could throw damage items. I thought this was the hardest game ever, trying to defeat the likes of Zapdos without moves.
Gotta be honest, english isn't my first language, so I completed the game (well, beat Rayquaza) without using moves, and took me forever T.T I'm amazed at how fast you did it, great job
I loved this game!!! I beat the game ~4-5 times but never really did anything in the post game because of the GRIND no one TELLS YOU about that you HAVE to do to do ANYTHING in the post game. So when the remake came out I beat the game, did the grind, got Mew as soon as I could, became Mew (disappointed I can’t change from Delcatty -> Mew in the over world), got Jirachi... and now I’m looking at Purity Forest...
To be fair, rocks and other throw items were exactly how I beat it because leveling up took so goddamn long that I was under leveled for a lot of the game. Rocks literally rock.
hey zwiggo really appreciate your efforts and great job. i actually have a request/suggestion similar to professor oak challenge where you finish the dex, can you do the same in this game and make every Pokémon your friend . It would be awesome if can do that because i remember trying very hard to do it myself when i was young. Drop a heart if u read this please
someones done a speedrun of that but in Explorers they might have done Rescue team too. easy to find here on youtube. :) be fun to see this youtuber attempt it
Man mystery dungeon... played it alot helped my cousin beat it too he was stuck on rayquaza. Just played dx, easier, got to recruit everybody beat every dungeon...spent 100+ hours, beat joyous tower with jirachi mewtwo and kyogre although he died super early and that was one heck of a grind weekend after weekend. Graphics were cool and sole cool additions music especially but... the og is still a classic, animation, sounds, gummis, music...what a great game man Edit: one of the best things they did in dx though was tweek the cutscene where alakazams team finally goes in on ya
I’ve spent more time with Red Mystery Dungeon than any other main line Pokemon game. Playing as your favorite Pokémon was a game changer when I was younger.
My hardest part of the Sky Pillar area were the stupid ghosts. Unless I have something to walk on clouds then I get stuck not being able to attack them.
Hey man, i recently saw your vids and they are awesome! maybe another challenge, is trying to make a new team after every gym, but you may catch pokemon again HOWEVER you have to use pokemon that are weak against the gym leader. It might be very hard but would be interesting to see how you handle it
I did this when I was a kid because I never knew that the moves existed. I only found out about them during one of those challenge dungeons at the end. The attack missed too.
Yeah, my dumb 7 year old self did a „dash-attack-only“-run, because he did not know that other attacks, which do not involve spamming the A-button even existed. 😅
Same
Bruh SAME when i found out how to use the moves I was reborn
Same! My partners always had to carry me
I can somehow relate too...
yo same
Alternative title: Mudfish and Gecko Trespass and Terrorise Giant Birds with Seeds and Rocks
Hehehe
Sticks and Thorns, too?
I just imagined Groudon rising up and a group of pokemon pelting him with rocks and he goes back into the ground
He went back into the ground from sheer awkwardness
Fun fact- Blast seeds are essentially grenades when you throw them. But eating them will restore a little hunger as well as cause damage only to the tile in front of you.
This took me long enough to complete WITH moves as a kid, respect for the grind here 😎
Brock Dowdle yeah nostalgia for this game
I didn't know moves existed as a kid, all I did was dash and get carried like a scrub...
same
Ok when I am seeing this vid he has 99.6 k subs kinda sad. SUB TO HIM
i can beat these games in a few days now
Don’t forget the most important part!
This game confirms that Diglett has feet
One mechanic that was probably super annoying in this run is that you aren't getting the bonus EXP that you would get from knocking out a pokemon with a move.
I actually finished explorers of time like that when i was a kid. I was so bad at english (not my mother language) that i only discovered how to use the moves after beating Dialga.
Mad respects
Mis respetos 😔😔😔
I would love a Pokémon ranger challenge, I think all the Pokémon spin-offs are so underrated and need some more love :)
Probably a "no capture assist" challenge would be the only thing possible in that game.
@@dansamolewicz3462 Non-dominant hand challenge as well. Which doesn't translate well to a video well.
You just have to be creative.
@@dansamolewicz3462 honestly no capture assists would be very easy. I remember my first playthrough of shadows of almia I practically never used them
the ds was the golden era of spin offs
Maybe a no circle breaks challenge for Shadows of Almia and Guardian Signs.

This game is hard enough with moves + using a grass type as your teammate, damn you are a literal legend for this.
9:34 Instead of letting Treeko stay beside Zapdos like a sacrifice, you could have just utilized the Tactics and command Treeko to get away so whatever move Zapdos will use it would lead to a miss on Treeko, (it would often times miss but it's still down to a matter of luck)
But then Treeko will not attack at all if he’s told to run away
That's the time to strategize either by spamming sleep seeds, eat a explosive seed to deal 30 damage repeatedly or make use of learned moves and have Zapdos on low health as long as you have a stack of of oran berries and some reviver seeds this first boss fight won't be too hard unless if played on an emulator, players can just reload anytime but it's just a shame to do so, it takes away the thrill and triumph.
“I also have loud neighbors and I would definitely take them hostage”
Uh... I’m calling the cops.
my neighbour yells at her dogs and young child (i think she is 7) over literally everything. one day i heard her literally scream, doors slammed and then heard 'i cant take this anymore' as she sobbed uncontrollably...she never leaves her house, doesnt have a boyfriend yet gets all these expensive new things. the amount of times she wakes me up at 8AM or even sooner is ludicrous
This was really cool ngl. I still haven't come back to this game after getting stuck in Mt. Blaze so seeing challenge runs of this game is hype
I got stuck there too I got slaughtered by all the fire types (Eevee and Chikorita) but I managed to get through
I never got through that I have to use cheats😭😭😭team(cyndaquil bulbasaur
It's obvious now. You have to complete the game or else we're never getting Rhythm Thief 2!
The newer switch version was actually easier than the original
I beat rayquaza because of the silver stones, and ice type moves alone
A shame you didn't name your Treecko Gex. Every night is Gex night after all.
Love your vids
Maybe next time it’ll be Gex time
Lol
Aw yes scott the woz
Funnily enough, right after release, my local walmart accidentally marked Mystery Dungeon Blue at $15 and i was able to get it on luanch day for half price.
I felt so dumb as a child. I always wondered how the other pokemon got so strong, until I realised end game that u can use items and your special moves

Zwiggo has a lot of patience and he deserves everything he works for🙏🏾 Love the videos man
“ For example we can use items like the Blast Seed.”
*Hovers over plain seed*
LOVED it. Its really nice to see a spin-off game challenge. Also cuz I've never got past moltress and idk the full story. While you're doing spin off challenges, do a Pokemon Conquest challenge!(Like an only-eevee-jigglypuff run or something)
"Even from ThunderShock which is resisted."

I thought it was 0.7x and Super effective was 1.4x
@@PokeBronYT That's in Explorers.
Yes, it's different in Rescue Team.

zwiggo is back at it again with the NO THICC BOIS RUN AT ALL
I love this game, I’m so glad to see a challenge video in it and wish more people did them! :D
Awesome content, really nice change of pace from your usual videos, hope to see more stuff like this
can't wait for you to hit 100k subs zwiggo
u made quarantine much easier my boy wishing u the best bro
DAMN HELL YEAH WE NOW WANT A FULL LIVE PLAYTHROUGH OF POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON EXPLORERS OF SKY LIVE, JUST LIKE POKEMON INSURGENCE!!!! I AM SO HYPED.
So basically how I played Mystery Dungeon as a kid.
Mystery dungeon: *the bare essentials run*
When I first played this game I just tried to spam the a button to win and didn't use any moves nor tms because they "looked complicated" got my behind kicked then actually played the with just moves and still got my butt kicked because I wasted all my oran berries
i barely use them because they waste turns

Pokemon games have some really cool and underrated spin offs
I’d love to see more PMD games, especially the post game and making your Pokémon’s evolve!
I like how you explain the story during the video! Great job! Loved this video, keep it up!
Dude. I had a hard enough time playing through this game while using moves! You’re crazy!
What a throw back! I remember my first ever run playing blue rescue team not knowing about special moves (i was super young to be fair)... i only found out about them when i got to the articuno boss fight after dying too many times
Nice one Zwiggo. I haven't played this game in a 1 or 2 years. Just watching this make me wanna play it again
This hits the nostalgia bone hard for me.
I still have both Red and Blue team, as well as the offical guide. Ditto for Time/Darkness (w/guide).
Mystery dungeon is the most underrated Pokemon spin-off franchise. I'm glad that DX rebooted the franchise, it needs some love.
Wow, this is some extreme Pokemon content
Lol, I Clicked because of your name and profile. Your channel is actually really good. Keep it up!
Loved this video and always enjoyed the mystery dungeon games. Glad you choose to do an older game and not one of the newer ones.
Loved the video Zwiggo! And would definitely love a Pokemon Ranger video, the humor in that game is so campy and dumb, is amazing. I don't know what challenge could you do for that game, but you will see me in the comment section of that video, promised.

"We are faced with the god of the heavens himself! How are we going to defeat him?!"
"THROW ROCKS AT HIM!"

"Wow, that fucking worked?"
Will have to try this, I’ve never actually played one

You won't regret it, best pokemon stories

You gave me the idea to get on of the Pokemon mystery dungeon games for Christmas
Been WAITING for mystery dungeon challenges, thank you Zwiggo
This music is making me nostalgic... These music themes are perfect. No question about it.
You need to do a mystery dungeon game using NO ITEMS!!! Any PMD. I can't find any attempt at this on RUclips and I'm honestly surprised but I think you're the only person who would try it and film it

I was such a move meiser. I basically played through mystery dungeon with almost exclusively using the dash attack
Yes, yes you can. In fact, in the postgame, i just punched legendaries into submission with my Sceptile, because they just broke way too fast if i actually used my moves...
...i really want to experimence the good old days again.

And I'm assuming that the post game is flat out impossible due to how brutal it is
That is probably the only time an Absol takes a big role in a game...which is a shame cuz it's such a unique pokemon, it needs more love
Ah yes. I played this a few years ago, it was not my favorite but I love the art style, story, and music.
Had to stop 10 mins in because I realized I want to replay this game. It's been so long...
Took me until halfway through the game to realise "Moves" were in the game. Didn't know I could throw damage items.
I thought this was the hardest game ever, trying to defeat the likes of Zapdos without moves.
I always found it funny you can’t evolve until postgame. Just two tiny little starters doing better than an alakazam ttar and charizard
Maybe a ranger play through but no Pokémon assist during captures or no damage, also I think we need a part two with explorers of sky
Gotta be honest, english isn't my first language, so I completed the game (well, beat Rayquaza) without using moves, and took me forever T.T
I'm amazed at how fast you did it, great job
watching a team throw tons of rocks at Legendaries to kill is such a lol
I somehow played this as a kid without realizing moves existed and eventually beat it.
This was a nice one! please do more of these!

Dugtrio refers to itself as a collective. It makes total sense, but is completely unsettling.

Gengar actually helps create the teleport crystal and intentional saves you but doesn't want to let on.
Rayquaza: I am Rayquaza! Master of the skies! Those who intrude upon my territory shall be destroyed!
Zwiggo: So anyway, I started yeeting.
I’ve spent more time with Red Mystery Dungeon than any other main line Pokemon game. Playing as your favorite Pokémon was a game changer when I was younger.
My hardest part of the Sky Pillar area were the stupid ghosts. Unless I have something to walk on clouds then I get stuck not being able to attack them.
Decent run! Thanks for uploading!
Having to grind for lots of items just to survive? It's like Super Mystery Dungeon!
FINALLY A CHANNEL THAT PLAYS MYSTERY DUNGEON
dude how many hour did it take! wow! such dedication. Awesome video.
Hey man, i recently saw your vids and they are awesome! maybe another challenge, is trying to make a new team after every gym, but you may catch pokemon again HOWEVER you have to use pokemon that are weak against the gym leader. It might be very hard but would be interesting to see how you handle it
For Mt. Thunder, recruit an electrike, they have lightning rod so you won't get hurt from electric moves.
Fun fact, Skitty's Normalize ability applies to the A attack! That's useful because it gives Skitty STAB on it :]
Local mudfish throws rocks at birds until they die and saves the world
My first ever pokemon game was blue rescue team, I was 7. Brings back a lot of memories haha.
This is basically Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon's design. They WANT you to spam wands all game.
I would call a run like this "A totally normal human that just looks like a Pokémon" run.
This was so impressive! This is *not* a short game...
