    Overlays made with @kangaskdan 's help! Thanks Dan!

    Chat/Comment Guidelines:
    1: Respect each other, do not intentionally cause arguments and diffuse the situation immediately.
    2: Please no backseat gaming. If I need help, I will ask the chat for help. A lot of the fun for myself and the viewers is coming up with the strategies on my own and solving problems in my own unique way.
    3: Listen to the streamer. If I say stop, I mean stop, and move the discussion on.
    4: Please don't reference other creators' in-jokes and running gags on my stream. Just as much as I wouldn't like another creator using my lore, I would find it disrespectful to use other creators' lore.
    5: Moderators' and streamer's decisions are final.
    The Rules:
    1: The timer starts when walking away from Professor Elm after receiving the starter Pokémon.
    2: Only the Challenge Pokémon may participate in battle.
    3: No items in battle, except Balls from the bag.
    4: No evasion-increasing TMs, and no Rest and Sleep Talk TMs until every other option has been exhausted.
    5: No intentional uses of glitches or exploits, except the Teleport glitch after the SS Aqua.
    6: No Rare Candies until facing Red. Rare Candies will be used in a 3-3-4 pattern.
    7: Timer may be paused for breaks in recording, but no inputs may be made when the timer is paused.
    8: Save states are permitted in the overworld, but no save states may be used mid-battle.
    9: If the challenge Pokémon faints, the previous save state must be reloaded and progress regained.

    These runs are so funny in-lore. Like Clair has probably been training those Dragonair alongside her clan before the 10-year old player character was born, and suddenly one day a young trainer comes to challenge you before one-shotting all of them with a single dumb bird. That’s the equivalent of a professional athlete getting wrecked by an elementary schooler and no one batting an eye.

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  2 года назад +11

      It is weird, isn't it? I guess that's why Clair gets so frustrated when you beat her and refuses to hand her badge over.
      Dodrio, though, isn't a single dumb bird. It's three dumb birds taped together! :D

    Dodrio smashed it!
    Definitely a forgotten gem, I can't imagine anyone getting to where the doduos spawn in gen1 without already having either a spearow or pidgey...
    I liked the condensed format, it didnt feel rushed! And I really like the leaderboard!
    Looking forward to the next one :D My request is the mareep line, they're my favourite gen 2 pokemon!

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  2 года назад +3

      I think the only game where Dodrio is viable is XY where you can find it on Route 5(?), so you have a chance of using it as your main flying type, but even then, most people would prefer a Talonflame!
      The next video is going to be my longest one, just because of how challenging it was, but I'll be going to the condensed format after that - I want to get some of the struggle through with that one.
      Mareep's gone on the list - it'll be the first three-stage evolution that I'll have done, so it'll be very interesting to do!

    Not sure how much of a difference it would’ve made, but you can get the pink bow from a lady in the radio tower after the rocket stuff which slightly boosts the power of normal moves, maybe worth picking up next time a normal type runs through johto

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  2 года назад

      I wish I'd have known about the Pink Bow when I did the Dodrio run!
      I had read about the Polkadot Bow which is only available by trading a Jigglypuff from RBY, and assumed it was the only Normal-enchancing item in the game!
      I've started grabbing the Pink Bow, though - it featured very briefly in Piloswine's run!

      Also love the cut content. For example going grunt to grunt in slowpoke well, but not showing the battles. Just going through the "dungeon". Great idea, and executed well.

      I try and put a couple of those cuts in each video, they're a bit of extra faff to do, but I think it gives a little bit more context to where I am in the game!

    I don't think I ever used Doduo or Dodrio in gen 2, but that Rage strat was clever! I wanna try it now in Gold or HGSS emulator. Gen 2 had the best sprites!!!

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  2 года назад

      The big problem with the Doduo line in Gen II is its location - you can't get it until after you've beaten Clair!

    I love this challenge, Dodrio is my favorite Gen 1 bird and the only one I ever use.

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  2 года назад

      It's an excellent choice! I was never too fond of Pidgeot or Fearow, and Farfetch'd was never strong enough to be viable, so Dodrio fit the bill perfectly.

  • @Carnage88

    Dodrio felt more like: "Congratulations your Angry Bird has evolved to an Angri-- OMG it's attacking EVERYONE! Run RUN for your life!"

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  2 года назад

      That's about right for Dodrio. You just need to look at it funny for it to start attacking you!

      @Squidgy  2 года назад +2

      I will happily do a rerun of Dodrio again with HP Ground, just to see if it makes much of a difference - Dodrio's run was done before I started choosing the HP type, so he was at a bit of a disadvantage!

    Does Teleport move you to a Pokemon center like an escape rope? Or do you have to be outside for Teleport to work. I appreciate the videos as I want to speed run myself .

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  2 года назад +1

      In Generation 2, you need to be on the overworld for Teleport to work, but it'll always Teleport you back to the last Pokémon Center you stepped foot in - you don't need to heal there.
      Dig just so happens to use the same animation as Teleport, so I quite often combine the two to make a smoother transition. :)
