    @channingshows6634 10 месяцев назад +141

    Feebas gets all most of the hype of being such a rare and obscure Pokémon, but treelax is soooo much harder imo. It’s really cool to see a run based around this, because doing it vanilla at best odds your roughly looking at around just two weeks just to find it. That’s assuming you look up two of the trees from your trainer ID

    • @nickolaswilcox425
      @nickolaswilcox425 10 месяцев назад +10

      feebas isnt even all that bad, you know exactly where its at if not the specific tile, the encounter odds once a tile is located are quite high and then its an easy catch. even finding the tile isnt all that bad if you have a little patience or use one of those calculators

    • @Thunder-Sky
      @Thunder-Sky 7 месяцев назад +1

      legit, like when you're a kid in the mid '00s, there's not that many games garnering for your attention and you've got lots of time to kill. just fish each tile 2-3 times and use a combing pattern so you don't miss a single tile
      I no longer remember which tile it was, but I found it in only 2 or 3 play sessions

  • @TrueN8-bit
    @TrueN8-bit 9 месяцев назад +12

    2:15 - Pre-clue guess: We're trying to get Munchlax from the tree, which has a 1% encounter rate and only spawns from certain trees. All the seemingly random steps beforehand manipulate the RNG so it will appear. If I recall correctly, the Pokémon encountered from a honey tree is decided when you slather the bark with honey, it just doesn't actually appear until after a waiting period, and only for a brief window once it does.
    2:27 - Post-clue guess: Guess has not changed.
    5:08 - Score!
    This was a fun video. I think you did a good job with the storytelling, and this was a really fun subject to cover. Nice work.

      One fact you could have put in the video is that it's not just about that tree, as munchlax trees are selected from the 23 honey trees in the game you get 4 munchlax trees given by your trainer ID and secret ID

    1% encounter rate is an understatement. It's a 1% encounter rate... on 4 specific honey trees which are randomized each save file (based on trainer id and secret id). You have no way of figuring out which trees are the ones that can spawn munchlax without hacking/cheating/glitches/etc or finding a munchlax

      Like what are you saying, the point is that he's making it seem like this whole big deal, but I knew the answer right away only to pad it out needlessly, it's like he's treating me like an idiot. To make it clear, it's not the subject itself I dislike, the speedrun aspect, it's the way it's been presented, several people now feel forced to put all this glitter onto something that may've already been interesting if not for it. Why do I have to explain every minute things.
      Furthermore, tell me this; what about the fact Munchlax only appears in FOUR of the 21 Honey Trees in Sinnoh? That seems like a VERY crucial piece of information, don't you think? And the guy here never mentions it for some reason. So this means that, on top of the about 1/5 chance that his Honey Tree is a Munchlax Tree, Etchy has the 1/100 too for Munchlax himself, which I don't remember how to do the maths on these chances, but point is... does the RNG Manipulation somehow converts a Non-Munchlax Tree into giving you said Pokémon? This wasn't clearly explained in the video either.
      If not, this seems like an even crazier waste of 6 hours if it's the wrong tree every 4/5 runs, more props to Etchy if that's the case, but if the RNG does circumvent it, I believe this should've been mentionned in the video because there's now this gaping hole here as I feel this video was just pumped out.
      And that's why I don't like it, there you made me expose the plothole. At least Pikmin 2 Glitch videos get to the point, it's not the length the problem.
