im just getting into emerald this year. trying to iv breed for the battle tower right now. these videos are so entertaining. im absolutely enamored by your pokemon knowledge and your love for it. thanks for sharing your journey with us. this was a great watch
Dusclops going sicko mode. I love old pokemon games, especially emerald. Its nice to see you still grinding and going for medals. Cant wait to see more videos from you. Cheers
1. Dude this was so entertaining! It feels like hanging out with someone who knows so much more about pokemon than I and watching them play! I would love to watch these as often as youd put them out! 2. I am very jealous of your Analogue Pocket! I missed this most recent drop because I was dealing with surgery complications but I vow to get the next drop! 3. I admire and appreciate the effort you put into reading and replying to your comments so I rarely ever comment but here you go good sir. I hope this helps you with the algorithm!
I dont know all that much compared to others hah! But i appreciate the compliment. It got expensive after the drop! Hope surgery goes well. It is getting hard to reply to everyone. It takes a lot of time tbh. This channel isnt even that big compared to others so Idk how those channels do it! Thanks for commenting and enjoying the vids!
I am just restarting all of the pokemon games and havent touched them for 10+ years so rusty is an understatement lmao your knowledge is much more refreshed than mine. As far as keeping up with comments and uploads, I imagine bigger channels would have to bring along help like assistants and editors. Maybe once the financial gain from RUclips makes it reasonable, you could justify hiring someone to help you put out more content.
@@RizzyPanda6 might be rusty now but its like riding a bike if you played a lot years ago! You will pick it back up easily. And yes agreed eventually maybe i can outsource some of the work
What a performance from Dusclops taking out kingdra and milo back to back 😤 toxic definitely proving its value. Teams looking solid man good luck on your last 3 sets for the gold
@@nostalgicnighthawk yup 2 big threats for sure, also regarding Rest, you'll always sleep 2 turns and wake up on the third, so no need to worry as much in future scenarios and you can plan around it
Yo I love the content, you've made start to go all in on these games too. Even though its not rlly the same because I'm playing on a emulator. Keep up the good work!
Great battles! It was really tense when your tyranitar survived on 3 hp! Making me excited for my first go at the battle frontier. My first team I’m going to try with is salamence, gengar and umbreon.
Good job. Well done. Couple of questions/suggestions. Why is your salamence running all physical moves if it's naughty nature? Would make more sense for it to be adamant or jolly? Or if you're wanting naughty, to give it fire blast for steels or dragon claw. Also I would personally recommend swapping night shade for seismic toss. It has the same effect but there are way less ghost types than normal, so you're able to hit the normal types for damage, especially helpful as snorlax is a common Mon as you progress. I'm not really a fan of the special trar either, as that is more suited for actual smogon 6vs6 but in all fairness you seen to be making it work.
i go into more detail in the vid we trained the salamence however i was targeting an adamant nature but a realllly good naughty one hatched. This one had 3 perfect ivs and overall outstanding stats so i figured i would train it. Salamence is running all physical moves because i trained it to be a physical attacker. I think swapping to seismic toss would be best. I have been considered that! Yes there are so many normal types where night shade is poo poo against. Ttar def isnt the best but I do like it right now!
@@nostalgicnighthawk yeah that's fair man! Sometimes the better IVs outway the nature boost. Just a shame it makes you menace a bit frail to special moves. I recently discovered my adamant EV trained aerodactyl has horrible Ivs. Looks like a 1 in attack lol. Extra annoying as I don't have any more double edge move tutors left if I wanted to breed another. AHH well! Also I know you're more interested in the symbols, but you can also get the special ribbon for getting a 50 win streak at the battle tower via doubt battles. I found doubles way easier. Got an 80 streak, however still not even got my gold symbol in singles. Think my best is around 60
@@nostalgicnighthawk I know it's super expensive, but if you want another challenge once you've done the batle frontier. The Orre colloseum in XD or the actual 100 battle colloseum in Pokémon colloseum is a good challenge and let's you import your GBA mons too
i love this series! thanks for bring them to us, iv been waiting to see ur team into action!!! ♥ good luck getting all the symbols do u have fun playing the game? its worth it for u all the effort? i mean do u have fun playing the battle frontier cheers
running the game at a faster speed ruins the experience for me. That is one reason i dont emulate the games. I would get too tempted to do it just because you can
Excited to watch this! Will watch after work tonight. Recently got the moltres from xd added to my team and has his purified move morning sun. Absolute stall beast. Edit: watched a good majority of the video. One thing I’d ask is have you considered protect for dusclops? I feel like some situations it would be really helpful. Even starting out as a scout you can protect to get moveset info. Or even as basic as extra leftover heals. Always look forward to your videos
i have considered protect! Having the pressure ability and also getting some additional information seems really good like you mentioned. Right now I like the moves I have but protect is a move that I might teach dusclops if I feel a need to change up the strats.
@@nostalgicnighthawkfair enough. Protect has come in so clutch for me. The moltres I talked about runs protect and sub to just pp stall threats. Pressure is an incredible ability lol
I usually do a Special Defense Dusclops with Willow Wisp (burn halves attack) so you can sponge any moves and have leftovers protect to soak it up more, curse for any fire types and seismic toss. Otherwise any steel or poison can take your Dusclops down ya know. Great vid tho bro
I have to say, you’re the one who inspired me to buy all of the old Pokemon games. I just completed the collection and was wondering what your goal is with the Battle Tower?
nice!! My goal for the battle frontier is to just get all the gold medals! Then probably have fun in the battle dome/tower with team building. But just the gold medals for now.
@@nostalgicnighthawk Do you have any plans after completing those things or are you moving your Pokémon from game to game and maxing out their towers or domes?
@@attaboytom I plan on keeping everything within their respective gen. Also I plan on working on gen 4 and doing the same thing. I discuss this here in detail if your interested! ruclips.net/video/CSt313fApwU/видео.html
hey I love your content! at the 24 to 25 ish minute mark, You got hit by cross chop and stated that it was a crit as well. I wanted to let you know that cross chop has a high crit ratio! Its in the move description. I know how unlucky this game can be sometimes haha 😂
great video , quick question is it worth investing the £100 for emerald which is probably rough price as prices aint dropping and have not for ages now
@@nostalgicnighthawk yeah i love emerald ive got every genuine game for every generation but gen 3 , ovbs got reproductions and oras but always wanted a genuine emerald game , thanks i appreciate the reply
Thanks! And ebay if your best bet. Def watch some videos on real cartridge before you buy. I recently purchased a new one and spent extra money on a listing because there we pictures of the motherboard.
@@nostalgicnighthawk got it. I m also interested on backing up save files as I ve heard the analogue pocket has some issues regarding that. Is there a video I can watch that will guide me? Oh and lastly. If I wanted a snorlax could I trade it from leaf green? Cheers
@@dim3920 i have not been successful at trading using the anolog pocket. But if you have 2 SPs or some way of trading, you can trade snorlax to emerald if you have the national dex i believe. This is the video and product i used! ruclips.net/video/5nk0V7btjRA/видео.html
That first fight was straight out of the anime lol. Power of friendship too stronk
LOL yes right outa an anime episode haha!

no just yet! I need all the medals

@@nostalgicnighthawk Yup! You always sleep for 2 turns with Rest, at least in gen 3. Not sure about other generations
@@cv42860 just looked it up to confirm too. I did not know this! this changes a lot at least like strategizing and such. Appreciate sharing the tip!
That was intense! You saying that the electrabuzz was cracked had me weak bro 😂
dude it WAS lmao. It almost wiped my whole team
that 3hp clutch had me goin bro
that was actually wild! I didnt think ttar would have lived
AMAZING CLUTCH, Tyranitar!!
Wow. Nickname moment. 5:53
haha yes! Maybe i should give it a nickname now
Can't stop the 'clops.
i gota get that on a shirt or something LOL
I can’t believe how hyped I was watching this
were u at the edge of your seat haha
32:07 Aerial Ace cant flinch, so that means Sneasel must have kings rock🤙
ahh! I knew something was up with that
Not sure if you know this now but rest will keep you asleep for 2 turns. Love these videos by the way

Yes i love playing them games. This past month has been stressful tho XD but still fun. It it worth all the effort
That was intense and so fun to watch - while EV training my beldum 👌 though I'm a little jealous of your dusclops. Now I want one too
train one! Great pokemon to have on a team
Sheesh. That 3HP save was wild.
i am not sure how that happened haha
