    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 3 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.

      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.

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.

    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.

  • @AwesomeRaptor21
    @AwesomeRaptor21 3 года назад +11

    Before watching the vid: It is indeed possible, but the main hurdle is using only struggle until you get Cut at the SS Anne. I hypothesized purposely losing the first rival fight against Blue before immediately heading to Viridian Forest to catch as many Metapod and Kakuna as you can, using up all of their Hardens on opposing Metapod and Kakuna, using Struggle on wild Pokemon to level up, and repeating the process until you can beat all the trainers with just Struggle until you reach the Nugget Bridge where you can find more Metapod and Kakuna. Repeating the process again until you can get access to the Daycare and the Old Rod, and continuing to train until you can beat Blue on the SS Anne, after which you get Cut. Once you have Cut, the rest of the game is just getting all the HMs, finding solid Pokemon to learn them, and leveling up until you can beat the E4 and Champion.
    One minute and 15 seconds into the video: Or I guess just skip all the hard stuff and not start the challenge until you actually GET Cut. Did all of the theory crafting for nothing I suppose.

  • @christianarnold4725
    @christianarnold4725 3 года назад +124

    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.

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.

Of those, Flash is technically optional to progress if you can eyeball Rock Tunnel well enough and/or have it memorized, while Fly is a massive help for QoL but otherwise not needed for progression.
      So a Mew-only run could be done with Cut, Fly, Surf and Strength if one was willing to go through Rock Tunnel without Flash, having the advantage of a full roster of damaging moves (albeit with not that great type coverage).

    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?
