paraspectre, MDB brought me to your channel about a month ago and dude, i gotta say, i'm glad he did. You do an awesome job. Thanks for working on these challenges. I love the videos.
A "Can You Beat Pokemon with only X" Challenge, but you're playing the Pokemon TCG game? Never thought I'd see that, but here we are. Neat! Got quite a laugh at 10:39.
You’re such an underrated channel that it hurts lol Your voice is hella nice to listen to, I enjoy your commentary a lot. I’m so glad you have many supporters allowing you to continue to post videos, can’t wait to see many more from you!! :))
Realize there's already a few comments about this but I adored that reference to Supper's Ready, love Gabriel's Genesis. Just binged all your videos and this set were the last two I had left, a very pleasant suprise. Keep it up!
I have been loving your vids and I managed to finally beat this game after years of hoping it would be translated! what are your thoughts about alolan sandshrew line? I think it is the cutest pokemon of all time and I love sandslash. cant wait to watch thia vid!
Thanks! You know, I do love the Alolan Sandshrew line and ice is one of my favorite types but I do still prefer the OG groundies. That pyramid color scheme works so well.
FYI, there's a weird scripted way to get an NPC in the Lab to give you a bunch of Energies. It might be only in the 1st game, though. It's done in the speedrun, example here: ruclips.net/video/jW81OGYK62c/видео.html. Not sure exactly how it works, but he puts 4 Energy types in his deck, with no Colorless Pokemon. I think the game does some sort of calculation on the Energy costs of all the attacks in your deck and the Energies you have in it. The reward is 10 each of all 6 basic Energies. EDIT: It is only in the 1st game. You have to have all your Energies in deck(s), and he gives you 10 of each. AFAIK, it's infinitely repeatable if you keep making new decks to stuff all the new Energy into.
@@Paraspectre squirtle but only squirtle lol im not big on his evolutions. Back when the card game came out i had a squirtle deck because i loved just getting lucky with bubbles coin flips, like how you get lucky with sandshrews sand attack coin flips. But as a kid i didn't realize how long games would go on because he was my main attacker. If you record audio when you play you should release the full unedited versions since there's probably others like me who just enjoy watching people playing the card game for hours
Hype totally worth the tier also may or may not have done my research and theres a good reason I chose sands shrew/slash because it actually seems like a fun set Edit: I was not expecting this much trouble Jesus
I’m actually looking forward to how it all plays out. I have not beaten the game yet. I may have said I “hated” the challenge, and at times I did, but editing it was a lot of fun. Thank you again!
I have i challenge idea Can you beat pokemon tcg gbc 1 with only jungle set cards ( and energies)? [you can beat matthew if you want] {also Ryan crys blood}
Personally I love this game but it seems very poorly designed for the purpose of doing challenges, unlike the first game. Props to you for doing it anyway!
Yeah, I would choose to do a challenge on TCG1 over 2 nine times out of ten, but it’s nice to mix it up sometimes. There’s at least more variety. Those deck requirements make it difficult to adhere to a challenge though
IlL oNlY pLaY tHiS gAmE iF yOu PaY mE waaahhhhh Calm down there DSP. Little soon to be going full blown Wings, don't you think? Edit: ok ok the meltdown was pretty hilarious

@@Paraspectre yes I was referring to the intro. Way too close to begging imo. I'm all for dry humor, mine is the same unfortunately, but that one just didn't land for me big dawg. As long as you're not actually turning into Dark Side Phil or Low Tier God (look em up, pure lolcows) keep doing you. I've been thoroughly enjoying your content so far.

I appreciate that, thank you! And I absolutely appreciate MDB for doing so.
I agree! I also came here from MDB and have loved every minute of it. Looking forward to more more tcg runs!
Awesome new intro!
🙄
What fossile did you pick?
Issac's pouting face on the win screen is so satisfying after those losses
I love how you traded your shroom bois for shrew bois
Paraspectre: Fighting the lightning club boss with my Sandshrews and Sandslash should be easy

Pokemon TCG 2 was the best non-main game in the GBC era. It’s such a shame it never received a proper translation.
Dude you're goated for going through all this pain. Appreciate you for giving us great content.
I can’t fully speak for the second half yet since I haven’t completed it but I’m curious as to how bad it’ll get 😅
@@Paraspectre man watching your other runs it's going to be a tedious process. You got this tho
YEEEEESSS a reference to Supper's Ready.
Sandshrew is my favorite Pokemon from Gen 1 and I was so happy about Alola Sandshrew in Gen 7.
And very nice and entertaining video ^-^
Great video as always man. So glad you liked the intro enough to use it :)
It’s so much better than the other one haha
SUN GLASSES WEARING MUPPET. God this is so wholesome.
Love that intro too.
My one friend likes to call people “muppets” or “mups.” I just kinda stole it
You’re such an underrated channel that it hurts lol Your voice is hella nice to listen to, I enjoy your commentary a lot. I’m so glad you have many supporters allowing you to continue to post videos, can’t wait to see many more from you!! :))
This was incredibly nice to hear, thank you. The biggest surprise to me since starting the channel is that people like my voice haha
@@Paraspectre You’re welcome! Aha, glad I’m not the only one who enjoys it then. ^-^
I have been waiting for this! The time is nigh!
Thank you for suffering for our enjoyment. May you be blessed by quick access to the vending versions of the cards
Whoa sick and unexpected 'Supper's Ready' reference! I would subscribe for that alone, were I not already subscribed
Heck yeah. One of the greatest songs ever
Way to go, Paraspectre! Been waiting for this and it didn’t disappoint. You rock!
The Isaac fight had me suppressing laughter. Sleeping baby problems
#Dadlife
This baby is too young to know who Isaac is
Man you casting of the battle makes had me in tears... so fkng funny
That genesis reference came out of nowhere, you are a man of culture!!
Omg that was tough to watch. 13 attempts is crazy!!!
You are dedicated to your craft
At the 10 minute mark I was fully prepared for another 7 minutes of losing to Isaac. Amazingly entertaining as always :)
That’s fair, since I was prepared for an ETERNITY of losing to Isaac haha.
That Mr. Mime looked.... horrifying
Realize there's already a few comments about this but I adored that reference to Supper's Ready, love Gabriel's Genesis. Just binged all your videos and this set were the last two I had left, a very pleasant suprise. Keep it up!
“Sunglasses wearing muppet” I’m dead lmfao
I love these videos they are so underrated

Take a shot every time he says no.
I do not condone this alcohol poisoning
Oh it's a terrible idea, but I'm also a #horribleperson

Yeah I have recently learned about this. It’s very helpful info to have in order to get the challenges ready.
I love the surprise Pikachu coin
I actually noticed that just yesterday haha
This content is great, keep up the good work
Glad MDB sent me your way, I can wait for the next paraspective video
GR2 is literally you with a paras sandshrew deck. Fitting end to video
The attempts vs Isaac were hilarious
Good one again. Looking forward to part 2.
Yoooo that new intro is way, sleeker!
Yeah, BrokenVHS did an awesome job. They made a longer one too that I’ll use in the Paraspectives
Can you beat tcg by only decking out the opponent
I love Sandshrew and Sandslash, both Kantonian and Alolan are so cute!
Still waiting for pinball without paddles
Thank you, sandshrew is my 2nd favorite pokemon and i was so hoping you would do this
What’s #1? Sandslash? Parasect?
@@Paraspectre squirtle but only squirtle lol im not big on his evolutions.

Loving the content as always
I would love to see a Staryu/Starmie only one.
The Champ is here!
Loving the new intro.
It’s simple and exactly what I want and better than what I came up with haha
Keep the sandyman going, they will keep you up king
Wait there was a Pokemon card game 2? I didn't even knew that.
Not out in the us or Europe
Hype totally worth the tier also may or may not have done my research and theres a good reason I chose sands shrew/slash because it actually seems like a fun set
Edit: I was not expecting this much trouble Jesus

Thank you for the video.
eff yes! Ptcg 2 again XD time to suffer! I do love your vid XD
Wait GR no. 2 has Paras, Sandshrew and Geodude? GR No.2 = Paraspectre
So third challenge will be with Geodude? 🤣
@@riccardomosena4162 Nah because of the Matthew video, lol. Third challenge should be impersonating GR No. 2
I mean… I didn’t want to say anything….
Intro looks epic
Bro what is that “die die die” clip from?
It’s Corey Feldman from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter :) one of the best in the series.
@@Paraspectre I knew it! haha thanks!
I have never seen a youtuber (or really anyone else...) reference Supper's Ready!
Top tier Genesis song right there. Right up there with The Return of the Giant Hogweed
The Sandies strikes back o/
Friday the 13th, my man!
gbtcg2 is great, even with the constant houserules
my fav pokemon of all time, sadly he got no love at all for pokemon tcg
not even an ex series ex card :(
Love the intro
Me too! I didn’t even ask them to do it either but it’s exactly what I wanted.
@@Paraspectre gave me game freak vibes how apt.
Just imagine doing this game but only with farfetch 'd
That would be a true hell
Or Kangaskhan
Oh god…I can just imagine the frustrations involved with Leek Slap…. 😖
The AI does not know how to control Kangaskhan. That would still be difficult with how many energies it needs though.
Jipp, that was my thought - good way of gaining card advantage (though risking to deck out) versus high-energy, random (!) attacking move
"currently using fighting coin"
Is this a translation thing, or do the coins do something when equipped?
Also wondering about this
I've played through the game once and didn't notice anything indicating that the coins do something, pretty sure they're just cosmetic
Lucky number 13!
I have i challenge idea
Can you beat pokemon tcg gbc 1 with only jungle set cards ( and energies)? [you can beat matthew if you want] {also Ryan crys blood}
Yay
Hmmm Cubone is my favorite Pokémon. 🤔🤔 where is the Patreon sign up again?
Haha now that could be a rough challenge, but I will not stop you if you choose to do so. #groundies4lyfe
Nice video, it also looks like it doesn't take a lot to make you play this game.
It’s a really fun game! Of course not
Personally I love this game but it seems very poorly designed for the purpose of doing challenges, unlike the first game. Props to you for doing it anyway!
TCG1 was too easy compared to TCG2
Yeah, I would choose to do a challenge on TCG1 over 2 nine times out of ten, but it’s nice to mix it up sometimes. There’s at least more variety. Those deck requirements make it difficult to adhere to a challenge though
Here comes team great rocket
Not
Here comes great team rocket
play snow brothers for NES for some reason
Matthew disliked the video, what a dweeb.
neat
very based
Continuous headaches from crying so much. Sorry Mathew but uhhhhhhh

New vid
Now do this series with Magikarp next.
🕺🕺🕺
murr sand?
First!
115th! Yes!
You're upset about a guy balancing his decks weaknesses and resistances.
I mean, not *actually* upset. Just trying to make it entertaining 😊
Salute!

I always wondered what the creative decision was to make everyone in these games constantly shuffling 🤔
