    Hey Mah-Dry-Bread, I know its a weird question but while you were in mt moon there are two fossils, the helix and dome. Which fossil did you pick?

    • @Aaroncarter95
      @Aaroncarter95 2 года назад +16

      Let's do some deductive reasoning here. So we have a 50/50 chance getting it right with 0 help. Dome fossil is possible since he's always finding unique ways to beat these challenges but the Helix fossil gives you the best Pokemon ever and is an auto win but that would be boring in a challenge. Hmmm harder than I thought to guess.

    Honestly, the challenge runs where you use multiple Pokemon are probably my favorites of what you do. Whether it's this, the Smeargle team run last week, the no new moves runs, or just any runs where there's more than one Pokemon. I'm not saying the one Pokemon runs are bad, these runs just end up being more interesting for me for whatever reason.

    • @mikecabral2420
      @mikecabral2420 2 года назад

      I feel like it's diversity. With one Pokemon challenges, you just gotta level up against type disadvantages/ better pokemon until you can survive if you hit a roadblocks. With multi Pokemon runs you can try different moves, catching other pokemon or using a pokemon as a status inflicting meat shield, so you have more options.

    I really liked this video, but I would still like to see the more extreme version of this challenge where you only use Krabby and its HM moves for the entire game. Use the universal Pokémon randomiser to replace Squirtle with a Krabby that only knows Cut to start. From there, you can only teach it Strength and Surf. What makes this interesting is that you can theoretically solo the game with just one Pokémon. I don't know if it will be possible though.

    Your whole argument about the comparing cut, fly and dig was so brilliant that I had to just had to like the video right away. It's easy to forget how some of these make sense at all if we ignore pure game aspects. By same logic we could also wonder why a tackle from high angle (fly) is a lot more effective against grass types compared to just a normal tackle.

    Pre-Run prediction, but honestly I think this challenge, while maybe a bit trivial, should actually be somewhat easy. Pick the water starter for stab surf, and strength + fly are both pretty strong moves. Given there are no pokemon restrictions, each one of these moves will have stab and are versatile enough that you will have at least a regularly effective move on every pokemon. Possibly the biggest challenge will be the periods of time between learning the HM moves.

    I didnt read far enough to check and see if anyone else said this, but I learned it from a RUclips video in which a couple of people pit all of the R/B AI trainers against one another to rank who would be the strongest. But in the actual code of the game, Lorelei's Dewgong is programmed to use Rest on the second turn, sometimes regardless of its HP. It will also sometimes use Rest because it is a "Psychic" type move, like when you were talking about Dragonite using Barrier against Nidoking. Love the videos MDB!

    When you do the run in gen 2, be sure to get a Goldeen learns Waterfall at level 38, and Seaking at level 41, so it'll be a good way to get your hands on a pokemon through fishing that'll have waterfall a ways before you'll have the TM for it. Although, honestly, considering gen 2 and the level curve you might end up getting waterfall physically before that point anyways.

    I’d be very curious what you consider an “exploit.” You state knowing that Dragonite won’t go for anything but useless power up moves due to their psychic typing against Nidoking so you sent Nido out to take down Dragonite. Couldn’t that technically be considered an Exploit? I don’t mind one way or the other, but since you’re not only using one Pokémon I thought you may try to take it down with a different mon before resorting to the King. This was fun. Would love to see more.

    • @Luinta

      It's the game playing as intended. It's an oversight more than an exoloit.

      Well he also overleveled his Venusaur before getting cut, it was a good 6-7 levels higher than it needed to be, so talking about minimum battles at the start was quite misleading at best, a lie at worst, since he clearly was grinding levels beforehand. One could argue that over leveling before picking up any HM’s is also an ‘exploit’.

Still, the idea of "using the obligatory HM pokemon every single-pokemon challenge typically needs" is something I'd been hoping to see, even if "literally only one pokemon, no HM pokemon" would be more amusing.
