Yeah, that's gotta be my dumbest editing mistake
Was quite wondering where the list was xD
I thought it was funny, it shows who really paid attention in the video, and heck it gets people to comment. We know how that's good for the algorithm.
I chuckled quite a bit
hah, considering the running fossil gag I just assumed it was strategic
Definitely
MDB: _repeatedly lets Eevee faint when he's planning on evolving it to Espeon_
MDB: _wonders why Eevee hasn't evolved yet_
hmmm... I wonder why...
Eevee and it's evolutions isn't very good anyways their first stab move they get is level 16 when the earliest level the gift eevee is 20. Eevee is better in the remakes due to coming at a lower level though not by much.
Haha I know that fight with poliwrath was brutal he could have easily switched him out
oh mah dry bread you loveable goof
@@costby1105 Jolteon or Vaporeon would have been better here because of the Beam tutor to give them STAB
@@hawkticus_history_corner Stone aren't easily accessible before Kanto though and the move tutor is only available after you reach the hall of fame too. Only vaporeon is has a chance an accurate high powered move before the elite 4, but the only evolution stone can find are Sun Stones from the bug catching contest, or the Moon stone in Tohjo falls and the Ruins of Alph in Crystal. The only ways to find more stones is from mystery gift in GSC or certain trainers will rarely call to give you one in Crystal only.
MDB: "I put a list of the Odd Egg-Mons on Screen"
What he puts on screen: "Like always, I'm writing this script as I go through with the challenge..."
Interesting Mons!
It’s amazing how many Pokémon none of us knew existed!
he did this so someone would comment down below. comments are good for the youtube algorithm.
he should make this a new running gag. say he's going to put something on screen and put something COMPLETELY different. genius I tell you!
The real question is, which fossil will he choose?
@@jacobcoady8852 yes that would be perfect xD
I knew I wasn't the only one who caught that
I am extremely happy to not only be shouted out, not ONLY have my name associated with my favorite Pokemon, but also to be problematic and refuse to evolve at level 50.
Thank you again for the shout out. It's genuinely an honor.
Also, Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion with only Quest Rewards.
Yay.
Same. It feels awesome. My friend and streaming partner were talking about it a few hours ago. Hitmonlee is one of my favorite pokemon and I love that one was named after me.
Evolving early doesn't matter for a Red Mage. They get the same stat gains whether they're a Mage or a Wizard. 😏
"We had to use mushrooms for the fight" is a way funnier line than I expected
Thank you for naming the dratini after me! What an Angel 😭 you’re so kind!
I actually stopped by your channel because of it. Good stuff.
Fun fact for those who don’t know, you could just attach the mail to a different Pokémon then show it to the dude who needs to see it. He won’t take the Pokémon, and you still get the rewards. Some of you may have already done this, but I needed to get this out of my conscious.
I appreciate this knowledge
I don't recall if it applies to the origional 3, but in HgSs IIRC if Spearow and Shuckle have high friendship, they won't take them from you either.
@@jamst5913 From what I remember in Crystal you can keep the Shuckle if it has high friendship but the Spearow will be given away, no matter how high the friendship is.
@@Grey_Warden_Invasion i think if you evolve kenya then you get to keep it, at least in hgss i think
@@romanphilson9275 in the remakes this is correct. I think they’ll still take back the evolved Pokémon in the originals.
Always remember Miltank has a higher base speed than Rayquaza. Ray's is 90 where as Miltanks is 100, I will never forget that from the Gamecube Pokemon games.
The true gift is to enjoy this one.
As an idea for a challenge :
I am back to suggesting Mothim leading the majestic Wormadam trio.
I'd like to second this suggestion.
I will +1 this
hahaha burmy is such a strange looking fella
If I remember correctly, one of the primary ways to get evolution stones were from people calling you and saying they found “weird stones” or something along those lines. I assume with Crystal they made the calls more frequent so that people could more easily get evolutionary stones. Only certain npcs would give you certain stones though so I doubt youngster Joey would ever give you anything that useful besides a Twitter shoutout
I think the calls are set, but if you erase every number except there's. then when someone would call you, it's always them
Schoolboy Alan (Route 36) Fire Stone
Fisherman Tully (Route 42) Water Stone
Lass Dana (Route 38) Thunder Stone
Picnicker Gina (Route 34) Leaf Stone
there a trick to get the stones fairly quickly you just need fly for ease of use and surf to get fly
every time

keep only the mandatory phone numbers in your poke gear and the trainer that gives the stone you want. go to your mom and have her change daylight savings back and forth might take a couple of times but its usually every time to every other time you will receive a call from the trainer you have, if they ask to battle you need to go beat them then start again. repeat a couple times and they call you saying they found something for you or something neat and then u get the stone.
Gold and Silver were awful in this regard because you could only get one of each Fire, Water, Thunder, and Leaf Stone and that was in the post-game.
@@pkmntrainermark8881 thats why you have to use the clone glitch to have infinite lmao
Magby, Elekid, and Smoochum aren't friendship evolutions. They all evolve at 30 which you more than likely found out later in your run.
Even in gen 2?!? I didn't find this out until Alola..... Lmao I've been playing since red and blue!
@@derrickscott1630 The only friendship evolutions that had occurred during the point were Pichu->Pikachu, Igglybuff->Jigglypuff, Cleffa->Clefairy, Togepi->Togetic, and Golbat->Crobat
Were they friendship evolutions in gold and silver? They used to be listed as such.
@@timemonkey
Nope. Smoochum, Magby and Elekid have always been level up evolutions very much like Tyrogue.
@@danielosorno4266
Chansey evolves into Blissey with High Friendship. Blissey is a Generation 2 Pokémon.
Yo MDB, great video yet again and thanks for the shoutout! You got me into these kinds of videos and challenges and I can’t wait to show everyone what else I have coming! Appreciate the support and everything you do for the community
I expect a redemption arc for Tyrogue, after being a hindrance in past challenges.
Why though, it's awful to use
@@lewisgregory1996 Because it can evolve here
@@lewisgregory1996 Clearly you haven't seen the challenge by the time you wrote your comment.
Thank you thank you thank you so much for the shoutout. I wasn’t at the premier for the video, I’d gone out for a meal and wondered why my phone suddenly blew up with subscription and comment emails.
Great challenge. That eevee taking ages to evolve takes me back to my first ever playthrough of gold back in the day. Ran around trying to get eevee to evolve for ages and it finally did into Umbreon after I beat Blaine in Kanto.
Next week sounds like it’s got the potential to be interesting. Painful but interesting
Oh my god, I nearly cried watching this ;w;
Thank you so much for shouting me out!
Also, Mushrooms and OnceFuture were the real MVPs of this run.
Crystal was the gen2 game I always played. After a several playthroughs, I would always collect the bike ASAP and then save before collecting the daycare egg. Then I'd keep collecting/hatching the egg until I hatched what I wanted (usually an Elekid!).
For future reference, happiness is based on number of steps, items used on the pokemon(ev items mainly), extra events for the specific game (the hair cut), and use in battle. However if your pokemon faints in battle, their happiness goes down. So if you're eevee faints a lot while grinding, it likely has terrible happiness.
Challenge idea: you can only have up to 20 letters between your attack move names. So moves with shorter names are preferable
Just a silly, but hopefully fun challenge concept
Thank you for your entertainment
That’s evil…..
I’m in.
Surf
Bite
Ice Beam
Mimic
Honestly, a Gyarados with that move set could probably get you pretty far.
20 is pretty damn steep. Most pokemon couldn't even have more than 2-3 moves. I'd say 30 letters at least
Over the last few years I’ve always found myself coming back to watch these challenges along with keeping up with the newer ones.
Thank you for doing them. They’re an absolute delight and so are you!
I actually play Pokemon Crystal to this day and can confirm after every like 3-5 minutes he calls it's annoying but hilarious
"Bickering married couple" runs
Duo runs with classic pokemon rivalries.
The two examples I can think of are Meowth/Pikachu and Seviper/Zangoose
Also, Heatmor/Durant
Let’s go! :) my Saturday just got waaaaay better! I love these types of runs! ❤️
Just graduated today, hung out with family and now I came back home to watch a mdb video, awesome!
A little late, but congrats~🎉
MDB, you're such a nice guy! So cool what you did for these content creators! I've been watching your Pokémon challenges for years now and my admiration for you only grows! Wish you the best, cheers from Brazil!
After last week there was no way imma forget 89th video requesting a dunsparce run
Togetic isn't that bad of a Pokemon, I wouldn't mind seeing it in a run one day.
Unfortunately in Gen 2 it just doesn't have much to offer. Nk Fairy type, no ability, no Eviolite, over reliance on TM because it only learns Double Edge as a direct damage move through level up, only 405 base stats total... It's pretty limited without all the perks of later generations
@@DanielVictorDVZero
Togetic isn’t THAT bad in Gen 2, it gets pretty good moves in Fire Blast and Psychic - moves that other special attackers would die for - and learns Charm and Safeguard to support it’s team and can shut down Curse users. It’s real only problem is it’s typing giving it no good S.T.A.B and it’s miserable Hp stat of 55.
I felt neglected throughout this entire run 🤣
@@oatmeal0 Togetic has the same base stat total as mid stage starters, only 40 speed, and over 25% of its stats are in special defense with only a base 55 HP. Its a slow, low HP, special tank with low stats, its not very good.
@@ZzShy Base stats arent everything. Look at Breloom, Ninjask, Smeargle and Pelipper, they have low base stats but do deceptively well in competitive play.
Pokemon (insert preferred game here) but each pokemon can only use the first move slot. you can know 4 moves like normal but before each battle you need to switch around your moves so the move you want to use is in the top left slot or the first slot.
It’s so awesome to see that necklace and here that little side story I love seeing someone succeed, it makes me so happy. I appreciate all the hard work and love the videos man!
I liked the stories you told about each content creator. The part about the necklace was particularly sweet. =3
Espeon is my absolute favorite Pokémon (followed by all the other Eeveelutions and Eevee itself) so I was happy to see that choice!
Other than the silly editing error (which I actually found amusing), good stuff! And for what it's worth, I watch all of your outros. =)
“She tried to heal with moonlight but drill peck finished us off” best mis talk ever at 24:30
Yo I love how you shout out the OGs and that you still hold all the things given to you dear. You are a badass mdb. Keep it up have enjoyed your content for about 3 years now. You da man!!
I really like how you named your pokémon. Mushrooms did really well in this video.
Yay Pokémon Crystal! I recently played this game for the first time a few weeks ago, and it's pleasantly refreshing from gold and silver
I started this exact challenge in Crystal a few months ago, this inspired me to actually finish it.
MDB: yeah, I'll put the list up on screen
Proceeds to show script card instead of all pokemon card
Never change. 😂 The "easter eggs" are amazing to catch
Looked up for the list and was 🤔
I was all like: 🤨
That was an incredible editing blooper, I know this was forever ago but thanks for a good chuckle 😂
I love that you shout-out other content creators! Really cool of you!
I have already binged the Nancy Drew Let's play twice. One was fairly recently or I would probably binge it again. It's a really good let's play. But I still have many of your other let's plays to still watch.
Pokemon stadium is hilarious. James bond is another good one
Quality content with MDB as always! Been enjoying your stuff for 2 or so years (altho i dont comment often)
I really like this wiht you shouting out really small youtubers. Its hard to find original gaming content nowadays. And this is a really nice way to discover small channels :)
I haven’t watched your content in so long holy crap it’s good to be back
I love that this is a playthrough with gift pokemon, and you're gifting to other content creators by giving them the shout outs they deserve.
You’re a beautiful human being giving all these people some love. God bless ya, brother.
I can't wait to see MDB use golden in the peck challenge and give his peck vs horn attack rant
you called it
@@adamreneau9213 yup
I like listening to these while I do housework or yard work, and one of the few times I watch the video, I’m present for one of these funny editing bits.
"But you know it's not over yet" Please release merch with this. I would pay so much just for a coffee cup with this! Been a fan of your content for 3 years, would love to support!
Everyone's talking about the editing mistake, but can we just take a moment as always to appreciate how wonderful MDB is for shouting out all these much less known creators
I was really happy to see Smoochum come from the egg, but then the run had almost no Smoochum. Please do a Smoochum-only run sometime. Ideally in HeartGold or SoulSilver for maximumum Smoochuming.
I remember when I got Pokerus within the first hour of Sun and Moon, good times! I always love full team runs, great video as always!
Great video! I did this as my first Pokémon challenge about a year ago. My final team ended up being Typhlosion, Fearow, Vaporeon, Clefable, Hitmonlee, and Dragonite.
Your Hitman let's play series deserve more love
Nice to see something with good Pokémon every once in a while.
This is a super neat challenge! I've done a similar one called "Don't Catch 'Em At All", which simply prohibits catching pokemon (or trading with other games). This mostly plays out the same way, but also allows Game Corner pokemon and the occasional in-game trade.
You and Pokémon challenges are probably the only pokè tubers I watch. Your videos are always great. Get well soon!!!!
Fun fact, this is one of the gift Pokemon only games where you don't need to catch any HM pokemon! (I've also done Yellow and Black so those can be done this was a well)
31:40 That is false, Sunny Day doesn't reduce the accuracy of Blizzard, it reduces the accuracy of Thunder and Hurricane
Haven’t seen this game in a while; looks vibrant and great
Between MDB runs and jrose tier list runs the colors are always “off” yet enjoyable and unique
I like that you shared the back stories of the people you based the nicknames on.
Finally got around to starting my own challenge run recently after having watched so many of yours.
Gen 1, single Krabby, evolving allowed, no items in battle, only HMs for attacking.
(Evolving is allowed because it's my first challenge. One move slot is free and will be a buff/debuff move.)
Made it so I started with Cut, then had to grind to L20 for Brock and squeaked by. Misty derped and only tackled.
For anyone from the future, the run went surprisingly well.
A lone Krab with only HMs is quite the force to reckon with.
Finished in the 60s with pre-Brock being the only grind and only had about six losses, most of which were to the Elites. RNG stuff.
I remember as a kid playing this I got a Shiny Elekid from the day care guy, was completely floored.
Great video as always MDB.
An additional comment because it helps with the algorithm- Where I am we also skipped spring entirely (Alaska), so we essentially went from random splotches of snow to 80f/27c!
Love that you picked Totodile! He was my very first Pokemon and Crystal was my very first game!
I love that so many people went to the Nancy Drew lets play after last time! it is one of my absolute favorite things I've ever watched on RUclips Period. Maybe now we'll FINALLY get MDB and friends to play another one?! Lol.
"oh my god it's smoochum" the delivery was wonderful
Dued so many shouts haha. Just saw this crazy challenge video excited to see more. New Subscribers
Gotta do my part and give back!
@@MahDryBread facts hope one day I can do that for others as well.
A run with only Hitmonchan, Hirmonlee and Hitmontop would be fun
I wonder if is gonna use kenya the spearow is gifted if you never return it.
He is
Yay,I loved this game,good memories of when I got Pokemon Crystal when it was new with my game boy Advance NES edition,it was such a cool video game console special edition.
i go back and watch the Nancy Drew LP probably at least once a month. i still cry laughing at the Kisses and Pinapple Earings bit everytime.
Maybe you should use Youngster Joey's team for a run in a Pokémon Challenge! I hear he's got a super cool Rattata!
Neat list of odd egg mons, I'm hoping you get the "100%" one. Though the "pumped to do this run" one sounds cool too. Too bad "comments are good for the RUclips algorithm" one isn't an option.
Fun fact when i first played heart gold around a year ago i beat literally the entire game up until lances 3rd dragonite with just the cydaquil line (not a challenge i just didn't know about the red scale exp share trade)
Hmm. Early prediction but this might be a hard start to easy finish. It's probably going to be rough for a while but vastly improve later on. Unless. MDB decides not to evolve any of them; in which case I can see this being brutal all the way through.
He most likely won’t evolve them I’ve noticed with his gift runs he tends to keep the Pokémon as is unless it evolves when traded or something lol
Walking 256 steps gifts one point of friendship. This is probably the fastest way to get a friendship evolution. Just bike back-and-forth and golden run city and check your friendship with the lady in the right side of the city near the bike shop. Also I’m so glad you chose to evolve Eevee into Espeon. Espeon is my favorite eeveelotion and is crazy strong. Once my Espeon had a stat of 202 special attack at level 60. Keep up the great videos!
Wow text to speech sucks I made a lot of typos. :/
Beepsalt was the first lets player I ever watched so finding out you watched her too is so hype
Great run MDB! Next week is gonna be rough though...
Pokemon Champion Russell is my favorite gag. Little does Russell know, gen 3 runs have an even more brutal rock user right away in early game
What I did in the past on Gen 2 (haven't been able to replace the battery in my Silver Version Cartridge so haven't played it in a while).
Anyway I would breed Shuckie and also breed Kenya then do the returning them to the proper trainers while raising the bred ones as my own.
Great vid bro watching ur vids makes this illness i have alot less worse
The part about the clay RUclips necklace honestly brought a tear to my eye; a lot of people (myself included) often forget that content creators are still just people like everyone else, and not just some entertainment machine. I'm really glad you've made it as far as you have, you have the support of so many people behind you and I wish you continue to thrive in life :)
yeah it was sweet.
Bro i really like your content and commentary 💛🖤
"Pokémon Champion Russell" popped me, brother. Great run as always.
I still think you deserve to do Pokemon Red with only one Mewtwo, but you do you.
Gunstar heroes was the first Sega game I ever beat and I used to play it with my dad growing up - on the original sega genesis system lol It will always be one of my favorite games of all time.
Great run too! A very fun one haha
Well, I can’t wait to watch you use a Goldeen in next week’s challenge. Should be fun to have the rant live
I’m currently playing through Crystal now. I had no idea that you could get a gift Eevee in general, and this early to boot. I’ve been using Growlithe as my fire type. You know the Pokémon who gets Flamethrower at Level 50 in GSC and whose evolved form doesn’t learn Flamethrower at all.
It’s fun
I can confirm, Crusader King play throughs are funny as heck and I didn’t know anything about the game when I started watching MDB’s CK3 vods.
RIP no nickname for me. Congrats to everyone who got picked! Good video as always!
It should be quite easy... If you pick totodile. Between Feraligatr, an eeveelution (I think Flareon would be the best one here... Yeah, you heard me right, FLAREON), Togetic, Dratini and a Hitmon.
I remember feraligatr was the first pokemon from the starters that remained in my party beating the elite four, that thing was strong.
This video was so good!
I think you should add “set mode” to your rule set for future challenges. It honestly adds a lot of difficulty to battles.
I actually did this challenge a few months back, but didn't allow for any other pokemon for HMs. I can tell you that its ONLY possible in Crystal, not Gold or Silver, due to Dratini being the only gift pokemon that can use waterfall.
It's crazy to see how many challenges you have done now
I am so excited for the Peck run.
I was going to argue about Espeon's being really strong, then I googled it and it has 25 more base stats than Alakazam. So good work
I remember doing this run. I counted Game Corner poekon as gifts, and started with Cindaquil. so I made the gift Eevee a Vaporeon so I could keep water HMs on the team. Also kept Togetic on the squad because my other Egg was an Igglybuff and it's honestly just worse.
And yes, my solution to Clair and Lance was Aurora Beam.
The egg hatching to a script is hilarious, the next pokemon run with a baby pokemon should be named script
i remember when i first encountered pokérus in heartgold. i freaked out thinking i had a cursed/glitched copy (to be fair, this was when cursed games/cartridge creepypastas were circulating around youtube) then after a quick google search i learned how great it actually was to have
I totally did this! It's fun, it gives you that "Pokemon protagonist" feeling since all your Pokemon feel plot relevant. (I did cheat and bought a cubone from the game corner)
MDB: "I don't have enough spare time to do Nuzlockes"
Also MDB: _(does grindy challanges every week)_
"I put list on a screen" and all we see is a script xD good job MDB, you never disappoint :) Btw cool video. Now I know why back in the day I got Tyrogue from egg.
