- I played Pokemon Emerald to see how much money the game would let you collect - without using any of the "money farming" methods (Match Call, recurring items, etc.) If you played the game optimally trying only to make the most money - what is the net value of your cash + items? Let's find out!
"Wow! That's the biggest Lotad I've ever se- IS THAT A MASTER BALL???"
Value
Turns out the best business plan is to start a Kitty Mill
Never underestimate the depth of the pockets of cat ladies (and furries)
@@vlc-cosplayer As a cat lady, with a furry for a roommate, I fear you grossly overestimate the amount of money we have

My head canon is that all the skitties in your PC commune all name themselves after the item you give them.

Give them all half price protein, sale every item you have and exchange it for half price protein, everything is protein.

I love how Mudkip seems to consistently be the best choice for Hoenn-based challenges. The Mudkip supremacy continues!
One of the best typings in the game, no major grass specialist and countering most of gym leaders does speak for itself
“I heard u liek mudkipz.”
Except without getting hit. Torchic's Scratch with 100% accuracy beats Treeko and Mudkip's Tackle and Pound with 95%
@@strawhatsteve2198 pound also has 100% accuracy, but treeko sucks against like every gym.
Torchics my favourite
Technically speaking, the legendary pokemon battles are non-repeatable, and thus could be argued to be fair game for pay day.
Was looking for that. I agree.
Some games actually respawn the legendaries if you KO instead of capture. However, the condition to respawn requires beating the Elite 4 again. So in this challenge, legendaries do technically become non-repeatable since the E4 aren't.
@@Rhino1004 oh that’s mental gymnastics now. is it ok to complete a repeatable action if it’s only repeatable based on another repeatable action?
i think we can give him a pass for this one 😂😂
@@significantgumption He did make a rule regarding berry bushes!!
The Skitty abuse in this video is unprecedented. One shackled to the perpetual fate of beeing a breeding machine and the rest of it's offspring deemed eternal item holders... My god O.o
Honestly Castform and the OG Skitty are the real winners of this run.
"Do I LOOK like I want a Pokemon? I want to make MONEY!
"You can wager cash on them in an elicit dog fighting ring."
_"Well you should have led with that!"_
Even better, It's not illicit. It's perfectly legal!
use a picked up leppa berry on meowth for the steven fight, costs 10 pokedollars, and gains 10 uses of pay day which should be a net profit of 4990 raising your total to $2,467,404
But then you can't use the amulet coin
@@eneasantoni1181 you can, you just have to give it to a different pokemon

They don't sell pokemon in the games. Remember, the anime, manga, and dorkly bits are not canon
@@cyberdarkturtle6971 Don't they operate the Celadon Game Corner? (at least in the Kanto games)
And you know, if they do it as apart of the anime, AND the manga (both official material), is it really so hard to believe that they were doing it in the games as well... albeit, in a less noticeable way/a way Red didn't see?

@@13KuriMaster who said they were stealing pokemon?
@@cyberdarkturtle6971
Well, their introductory paragraph on the pokemon wiki says:
"Team Rocket ... was a criminal organization set to *steal* other people's Pokémon, ... Team Rocket's main objective was obtaining powerful and rare Pokémon to help their criminal syndicate in the hopes of someday taking over the world. They obtain these Pokémon by regular capture, or more often, theft. ..."
If you prefer Bulbepedia, It's introductory paragraph says:
"Team Rocket ... is the villainous team in pursuit of evil and the exploitation of Pokémon. The organization is based in the Kanto and Johto regions, with a small outpost in the Sevii Islands.
While its main focus is *stealing* or capturing rare and strong Pokémon, and subsequently *selling* them, it also funds and conducts cruel experimental research on Pokémon. At times, it has even killed Pokémon. Their oath, as posted on the wall of one of their many bases, is *"Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket."* Their ultimate goal is to take over the world using Pokémon.
Now, do you think those would be apart of the INTRODUCTORY paragraphs for Team Rocket, if it wasn't something that happened in the games at least once?
This isn't Pokémon Emerald. This is Pokémon Emerald Mine.
I'm pretty sure PayDay works on wild Pokemon, so while using it on random encounters would be banned according to the no repeatable methods rule, using it on the legendaries would be fine.
He specifically states that fact in the video. He only uses it on trainers.
@@KiziXKhaoS I know, but legendaries aren't repeatable encounters, so in my opinion using Payday on those but not regular wild Pokemon would be fine
@@jadethenidoran I know the regis are repeatable in emerald, maybe only if you run away? I forgot how it works
@@MachuThePichuThey respawn when you fight the league again. Since his rules don't allow rematches, he can never respawn them, making them one-time events in essence.
@@dscyrux but they’re technically repeatable so i’ll give him a pass even if they aren’t in his run
wow, who knew that the trainers in Juan's icy basement prison had nuggets on their pokemon?! you learn something every day!
If you are able to obtain 3 PP Ups or a PP Max, you can max out the PP for Meowth’s Pay Day (if it’s profitable) to use even more against Steven’s team
Actually yeah, you're right. PP Ups and PP Maxes both sell for 4900, so it'd be optimal to use 1 PP Max. That gives an additional 12 uses to Pay Day, meaning you'd get 12000 back if you're able to use all of them, which leads to a profit of 7100. Even if you can't use all of them though, you'd still only need to use 5 extra at minimum to turn a profit.
@@honchdreigon606you can also use a leppa berry to get 10.000 for the price of a mere 10, and if meowth is weak enough to need more pp you can manually use more leppa berries to give him 10 more pps
@@cristobalpinochetif he used assist to get payday, wouldn't that be 20 pp per skitty then? Give them all a leppa berry and max one of their pp with the max, great money making on steven then
@@Darkytz Damn, I didnt think of that, that’s a great idea, the only problem is that it’s super rng dependent, but if the stars align it could be the best way to do it (sadly the move deleted can’t help that much since surf and waterfall and I think also strength is needed to get to Steven to begin with, and covet is also necessary to steal items)
@@cristobalpinochet should be worked on a bit tho, some moves don't get used from assist. So they could be used as well. And given the amount of possible assists, you'd most likely run out of HP against steel and rock types before winning, but I'm sure with the right amount of tail whips and such you could probably get a whole lot of cash from the battle. If I had more time, I'd find the theoretical limit for this battle, as it is so iconic and might be the biggest money stack in any version of the games
"Emerald" in the title would be good since it's a sequel. I nearly didn't click since I'd seen the previous video! Glad you made another!
Yeah I really don't like that about modern youtube, there's very little distinction between videos in a series these days, which isn't helped by the fact that some people change the title and thumbnail of their videos for more clicks. Other than that it's a good video!
Also I haven't watched your videos in like 7 years, nice to see that you're still active :)
14:23 This is definitely the happiest I've ever seen someone be to get the Castform.
Solo-run people despise it and nuzlockers usually just box it immediately.
And then the people who do casual runs think it's ugly
@@eneasantoni1181It doesn’t have boobs! 😂
@@Connowot387 true, it has testicles
Meh, you need a 2nd mon for the Tate and Liza fight. Gen 3 is a bad game to solo run to begin with
As a casual, while nuzlocking the game, Castform was my best answer to Winona's Altaria
The master ball usage on a Lotad is pure gold
Can't wait to see the Johto games, where your mom has a bank account she lets you use, and you've got two gym runs before the postgame hits.
Yeah, but she also spends your money without asking you, which is not good for business.
@@caliburnleaf9323 on set intervals, for items at cost, so it's not as much of a waste as you'd think. It's mostly just the deco to worry about.
Plus, that inconsistency makes it more interesting.
@@caliburnleaf9323 You can tell her to not do that, so she just saves up the money, even in the OG games!
The other problem is, would he consider collecting interest to be a repeatable source of income? I know, it sounds weird to say when it is one of the biggest ways to earn money in reality, but as far as the rules he sets for these challenges, I legit think he'd ban it as it is infinite income in theory.
28:49 the first pokemon you show to either of those npc is guaranteed to be record breaking, since there isn’t a size to compare them to. The second one you show them has to be bigger than the first.
Really glad to hear you didn’t waste time on xp grinding. Infinite rare candies make these challenges far more entertaining for everyone.
I just love how you put some thought in what your doing and still keep it entertaining with your commentary.
Great job my capitalistic friend!
Jokes on you, I’m watching this 2 months after it came out
skitty can learn charm, psych up, and assist, so you can charm opponents to -6 attack, psych up, and copy meowoth's pay day with assist. this will cut your damage output to 1/4x and drastically increase profit per battle
for pp considerations you can breed more meowths and skitties. in some of the later battles you can basically go through 120 pay day uses per battle, juicing your returns a lot
You could maybe breed meowths and have meowths of various levels. this might make a profit even considering removing the other mons from the daycare
Yep, and then reset battles as you get to 20/20 on paydays with the meowths, this would also be a lot easier on battles where you don’t need skitty as well
If you grind the pokemon you put in the day care to level 100 first before putting them in, it will only cost 100 to take them out, since they will not gain any levels.
18:07 I was very afraid for a second when skitty was one of the pokemon destined for an eternity in the daycare, had a brief thought that the other one would be wailord
2:50 it increases the MONEY that you have but it doesn't increase your NET WORTH. The potion is an asset that is accounted for in your net worth.
i dont think i've ever been this entertained my entire life, the amount of plot-twists this video had got me exactly like a goldfish: opening and closing my mouth!
congrats on doing one of the best videos i have ever watched!
The use of the master ball on Lotad is DIABOLICAL 😂😭
I had to look through your past videos because I was like “I could’ve swore I saw this weeks ago” 😂😂
One thing missed I can think about is giving meowth a leppa berry against steven and having another pokemon hold the amulet coin to switch in and out (partaking in the battle)
This would give 10 extra uses of payday (so long as steven has enough pokemon and hp to take 30 paydays)
Could've used the limited, low-value leppa berries at the end to restore Payday PP to maximize value at Steven Stone, as the value would far outclass what was lost.
(3d)
5:50 funnily enough I actually am watching this two months later
Isn’t it worth to use one leppa berry in the last fight against Steven? This makes you hit 10 more pay days and gets you even more money, doesn’t it?
honestly this is probably the most fun ive had watching a pokemon challenge vid in a good while. really excited to see more of your stuff!!
My new favorite Pokemon channel. Been binging all of your stuff. Great content.
I am so glad to see another one of these, lets make it a series!
20:38 or just use thief u get from the museum.
I came 2 months later to get the true grind experience
The premier ball plot twist absolutely SENT me
You could have caught a natu or a doduo in the safari zone to teach fly
How about a Bezos run of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (And the DLCs if you have them)? There is no money cap, there is a free sidequest in Kitakami that nets 1,000,000 Pokédollars, and many, many, trainers to battle and free held items to pick up. Edit: Although you would have to avoid picking up the glittering item nodes as they respawn every day. Oh also, if you do the DLCs, you want a full team and a Thiefer to take the held items of like, every Blueberry Trainer.
In the Safari Zone Area 6 you can encounter Miltank who are guaranteed to be holding a Moomoo Milk, 250 Pokedollar sell price. As you have the 30 Safari Balls you could argue that you wasted money by not catching as many as possible.
The part where you stall, use Rain Dance repeatly, and get growled at just so you can Covet AND Payday had me laughing so hard. The min-maxing you achieve in these videos is so entertaining!
Could’ve picked up Thief at the Slateport Museum to steal all four Oran Berries.
My thoughts on the metronome getting pay day is that it becomes easier with RNG manipulation. Even so, it’s easier but would still take way longer since it still needs set up every fight/turn.
This reminds me of my 110% run of Fallout 4. I have to do the most profitable thing every time too, but not caps wise. If there's 2 options for a unique quest reward but also a really hard to do and niche way to get both, you absolutely have to get both. I have to beat the entirety of the 2nd biggest dlc for the game before meeting the first faction
If you change the pokemons in the daycare for a Meowth to get Meowth eggs you can have more PP in Payday to use in the battles that requires more than 20, considering each payday gives you 1000$ it compensates the price of taking both of your pokemon out of the daycare (and a Pokeball for a Ditto because the Meowth is male)
Does payday still work if you attack your own pokemon with it ? I mean in double battles
The ad revenue from that video is probably not even close to that 15 000 bucks lol
I absolutely love your sense of humour, dude. Looking forward to more content!
Technically there is a way to make even more money after getting meowth. If you level up Sktty and Castform at level 100 you'll lose less money by getting them back from the daycare. Afterwards, if you head to the Desert Underpass near Fallarbor Town and catch a Ditto, then you can bring your Meowth there with a Ditto and get two Meowth that can learn Payday so that you earn more money from Steven's battle, which probably is the only battle that will make you use the entire PP of Pay day, but even if very tedious you should be able to make a little profit by getting those Pokémon in the day care and using a Pokeball to catch Ditto.
You have to catch a Ditto as that traded meowth can only be male unfortunately.
it has been two months, so this is when this video would have come out if he had spent his time fighting wild pokemon
the skitty holding your items in the PC made me lol
Honestly, big respect for all this preparation, I don't know how much time it actually took, but I know I would miss so much stuff compared to you.
me feeling called out for finding the video two months after it came out
The Johto games taught me that selling slowpoke tails is extreanly profitable
Different idea but alone the same line. How quickly can you get to max cash regardless of if it’s repeatable. Do you try to make money early or do you rush the end game to make more fighting trainers?
The Skitty and the Castform have no idea the horrible life their children would live...still they can help on keep making more.
You could have killed all the legendaries with Meowth using pay day
Lo and Behold, a Tad.... IN A MASTERBALL?!?
Also, the plottwist at the end with museum is just chefs kiss... didnt see it coming.
Extremely funny having this recommended two months from publication considering certain bits lol
Pokémillionaire% should honestly be an official speedrunning category!
Now _this_ is a real challenge video. xD
Seriously though, great video!
If you ever harvested any leppa berries/ethers and sold them, you lost money. By giving them to Meowth you would have been able to keep using payday in the final fight
I don't know how much of a difference it would make since I don't know if Pay Day has a cap but there's always the option of burning your Meowth so it deals less damage allowing it to use it multiple times
And then there's 11-y-o me becoming a millionaire by farming the elite four for exp. I wanted to complete the pokedex and a lot of pokemon needed evolving. I actually maxed my starter's level doing this. To this day this is the only time I've ever gotten a pokemon to lvl 100. I usually reset after winning to use new pokemon
Wow you're insane! That's original, for sure! An idea I haven't seen so far and who knows if I would see but not by you. You're a genius! Have done everything detailfully! This is kinda nuts but amazing too!
25:18 Ma'am! I'm canonically 10. You have to let me grow up. I've to learn how to drive, file taxes, and lose my innocence when I realize that Nintendo doesn't care about us.
6:00 funny thing: i found this video two months after you released it :)
Same
Rylockes: "I'm not going to do the battle frontire."
The berries you get for getting the silver and gold prints: stealth 100
Here's another tiny optimization you could have done: Wild Skitty in Emerald have a 5% chance to hold a Leppa berry. So that's an extra $10 of value you could have gotten when catching Skitty. Of course, a 5% chance on a 2% encounter sounds miserable, but that's what you have to do to maximize profit.
I got an ad for Monopoly right when you received the Amulet Coin 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Alright. Im here two months later for the PROPER run it should have been.
I'm just kidding. This was a good run and enjoyable to watch. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
This just popped up, can't believe you actually spent all that time grinding wild Pokemon for exp
This gives me vibes of that one millionaire lady that eats cat food instead of tuna because it is cheaper
The funny thing is I am watching this 2 months after it came out
The concept is hilarious and this is a great video!
try getting the absolute max amount of money possible. Fill your pc. fill your bag, fill your party with items, fill your boxes with pokemon holding items. Get the max money threshold.
Spend it on a couple of those expensive ribbons
Thank you for doing the conversion at the end. The currency or Pokémon has always been a pet peeve of mine, as it's supposed to be Pokéyen not Pokédollars, as the horizontal slashes are very close to the ¥ as opposed to the $ vertical slash. As yen is/was about 100 yen to the dollar when Pokémon released, it's always been simple enough for me to see "a basic pokeball is $1" as opposed to "omg I can't believe this dude gave a kid $300 for beating him in a Pokémon fight", it just never made sense that way.
I was slightly worried you didn't get it either which would have been sad as this is a series dedicated to the currency, so good on you
missed out on another opportunity to call it Pokémoney
I think you should not only allow, but require trainer rematches.
The reason Wally gives you more money each time is because money is calculated based off the trainer class and base stats of the trainer's last Pokemon and because trainers use different teams when you rematch them, up to 4 rematches.
You should be required to use the Match Call until you've fought every variation of a team and then you are not allowed to rebattle that trainer anymore. Another benefit of this is that there are items that later versions of their team hold that you can't get any other way. Match Call is one way to get Smoke Ball and the only way to get SilverPowder, Black Belt, and Dragon Fang.
The mathematically most profitable use for the master ball is the best part of this video
Funny how this video has been recommended to me 2 months after it released
I love how this is just "max money" not "money per hour"
"I can't do repeatable actions"
Spams payday 10k times
With that logic he can only walk up/left/right/down once
@@staalejonko no, because spamming payday is optional if you want to complete the game.
The moment I saw the title of this video my brain was SCREAMING Amulet Coin, as I personally always use this when playing any Pokémon game
I've been watching your channel since you were called "Quick Nuzlockes"! Keep it up and thank you for making these amazing videos ❤
Thank you so much!!!!

What's ironic is that in the gen 3 games, you can only earn 999999 pokedollars which means you can never become a millionaire
“You should minmax your meowth to make him do max money”
You could have kept Meowth pre-burned to halve its attack stat.
I'm pretty sure in the Steven fight you could make even more money by catching 5 Smeargles in Artisan Cave, and then have each of those Smeargle Sketch Payday from Meowth (you just have to find 1-5 Double Battles where they're going to be able to survive long enough to Sketch) - then in the Steven fight you can turn 20 Paydays into 120 for an extra 100,000 pokedollars.
For future videos can you put more than one music track in tbe background? Listening to the same loop of music gets old fast.
So, upon beating the Trick Master's final floor, you get access to a pp max. There's another in the magma hideout.
A PP max sells the same as the price of a single pp up, but delivers 3x the power.
Therefore, using a PP max on your meowth is worth more than selling it, as it would give you the option to use 32 pay days in stevens fight instead of 20.
Giving meowth a pp restoring berry would allow it to use more pay days, giving more money than the berries are worth
This taught me more than 3 years of economy classes
I am Ironically watching this about 2 months after it came out.
Using a Smeargle found in Artisan Cave you can Sketch Meowth’s Pay Day in a double battle. That’d enable you to get more money out of the Steven fight and any other fight you use all 20 of your Pay Days.
fun fact not many people know is you can get almost a million moneybefore elite 4
So, this is how Giovanni launders his money
