    Overlays made with ‪@kangaskdan‬'s help! Thanks Dan!
    Challenge Results: docs.google.co...
    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.

    Raikou's bad level up move pool and slow experience really hurt it from being on of the fastest times.

      But it and Entei are worth using IMHO its Suicune that I find to be pure CRAP.

    Loving the videos. You seem confident and consistent. I really enjoy “the liar with the flyers” bit cause it is true and simple. Keep going you’re doing great

    The devs are really stingy with electric moves - not learning thunderbolt via level up is criminal

    Will be really cool to see how Raikou stacks up against Zapdos and backported Thundurus in the future. Well done!

    "The legendary gerbils" 🤣 I love it!
    Great run, as usual! I wonder how much better Raikou would be if it started with Spark!

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  10 дней назад

      Having Spark earlier on definitely would've helped Raikou - ThunderShock is passable for the first couple of gyms, but even with STAB, it's fairly useless from Whitney onwards.
      I think they got the balance right for Raikou somewhere between Gen V and Gen VII - one day, I might redo Raikou with a later generation learnset to see how much difference a better set of moves would make!

    Oo that was some interesting info in the kantonian chat! As a worldbuilder I'm always looking for new information to incorporate into my work and the concept of talking to time is VERY inspiring to say the least. Thanks for the education!

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  10 дней назад +1

      Thank you for your very kind comment!
      I'm glad I could bring a new concept to you - it's something I've had to do professionally for several years, and while it's quite tricky to get the hang of, it's definitely a lot of fun.
      Doing it over the last few months with the Kantonian Chat has breathed a new lease of life into the challenges for me. It's a great way to unwind with you all and just talk about anything and everything!

    The speed running Pokémon!!

  • @SoraDonaldGoofy99
    @SoraDonaldGoofy99 11 дней назад +1

    Raikou still did really well! Surprised you went with Zap Cannon over Curse for Snorlax. But lowering Raikou's speed is maybe too much of a risk for the increased Attack.

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  11 дней назад +1

      I decided to play to Raikou's strengths and keep its high speed. Curse is generally a bad move to choose for Red unless you're running a Ground-type. Charm will negate two Curse buffs, and you have a greater than 50% chance to get Paralysed by Thunder if you need to buff after a Charm.

    I must’ve missed a video, I hear you talking about the HP up strat but what is it exactly good sir

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  10 дней назад +1

      Hey!
      The HP Up strategy is something which was fairly recently discovered. If you use a HP Up, your maximum HP increases but your current HP doesn't. That means you're entering the fight without full HP. As a result, Karen is slightly less likely to favour Sand-Attack - which cannot be countered by a held item - and is slightly more likely to favour Confuse Ray - which can be countered by a Bitter Berry.
      It's not a huge increase in our favour - roughly 3/8 attempts now should avoid Sand Attack when factoring in the Gen 2 miss, but it's still significant enough to attempt on every challenge.

    Forgot to mention I have a lot of nostalgia for gen 2 so it’s really nice to see Crystal. Once you’ve done each Pokémon do you think you’ll start gen 3,4, or 5?

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  10 дней назад

      I'm already doing Gen 3 every so often, but I don't have plans for 4 or 5 at the moment. My passion will always be Pokémon Crystal, and FireRed and Emerald are very good secondary games!

  • @MsLoveandjustice
    @MsLoveandjustice 10 дней назад

    What is the HP Up strategy??

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  10 дней назад

      If you use a HP Up, it increases your maximum HP without increasing your current HP. This makes some trainers with smart AI - such as Karen - slightly less likely to go for Sand-Attack (which cannot be mitigated with a held item) and more likely to go for another status move, such as Confuse Ray, which can be mitigated via a Bitter Berry.

    @veghesther3204 11 дней назад

    IMHO of the 3 IMHO its Suicine that SUCKS over Raiku/Entei in any of the 3 Gen 3 games too bad Crystal doesn't HAVE Mereep the best thunder type IN the Gen 2 games.

    I'm home. Oh yeah, you can get a 2nd Abra and trade to the NPC in Goldenrod City PokeMart and get a Machop that also has Gold Berry. 😊😊😊

    • @Squidgy
      @Squidgy  11 дней назад +1

      You can! Because I route in Flash, it's slightly quicker to get the Ruins Gold Berry, but the other one is a good shout if you do Coin Case Abra
