Basically ash team before gen 5 are all easily shredded by psychic type because he refused to capture Steel, Dark and psychic type for whatever reason.
@@cbbblue8348 I guess the story writer was a gen 1 purist who didn't have a friend to evolve Kadabra. If he can't have these types, then so can't Ash lol
pretty much everything in gen 1 got shredded by psychic types. Im fairly sure fat mons like Snorlax and Taurus were kind of the best counter you could get outside of other psychic types.
I can see this being like a series, go through each of the gens, ranking the pokemon Ash gets in each of them, then the fun part of not only making the best OU team of the new Pokemon her caught, but also an OU team using all the ones he has caught at the time.
I think for future gens itd be interesting to add one additional section in the end to ask: Which tier would Ash actually have the most success in? Who knows, maybe he has a killer RU team in one of the later generations
this is such a fun idea! I want to imagine it'd be even funnier if you end the episodes with you taking the team and running a single OU match from that generation on showdown i think it'd be funny to see it in action, and kellen's battle commentary
So, technically... has caught a Mr. Mime in Kanto. It was an offscreen capture, since after the capture of Mr. Mime (Nicknamed Mimie), it stayed with Ash's Mom. This STILL has yet to be shown in a flashback or confirmed by word of mouth, but is assumed due to ALL THE WAY LATER, in Pokemon Journeys, Ash used Mr. Mime (Still going by the nickname, Mimie) in a small Tournament battle, and Ash sent it out from a PokeBall (Which is what Haunter lacked to make it official), and Mr. Mime listened to Ash's Commands in Battle.
While we never saw Ash catch Mr. Mime it is officially counted as one of his Pokemon, and he did eventually use it in battle in Journeys. I assume if you had counted him he would've made the cut instead of Muk (or Charizard in the Haunter team?) so that he'd have some Psychic protection.
I don't really count Haunter as protection from psychic. I just did a fire red run and had one on my team. Psychic still does super effective damage against it due to it's poison typing.
Imagine Ash being a smart alec troll and starts bringing up obscure nonsensical Gen 1 mechanics when he beats someone he has no business beating under normal and logical circumstances
The one edge ash's team has: mindgames. Ain't no way people see haunter and go "Yeah he doesn't have a gengar" they go "oh god he's running double ghosts."
2:55 “that’s what happens when you make three pokemon of the same type [normal/flying] in the same generation” Farfetch’d is so bad it doesn’t even count as a pokemon, damn
this was a fun as heck video. Something about Gen 1 is just so magical. The anime, the cards, the sprites, the wacky mechanics, the glitches, the designs, Man take my boomer ass back. Even Pokemon Go in 2016 was a huge Gen1 tidal wave of feels.
This was a very well made video and team, FSG! Can’t wait till the Gen 2 video! I’m interested to see how you’re gonna be able to make Ash an actually viable Gen 2 Team with a Bayleef, Quilava, and Noctowl. 😆
I was checking to see if someone else had left this comment. I didn't see it yet, but I'm sure this won't be the last one either. For Charizard's set, having a high crit chance and slash is definitely a boon, but it does not synergize with Swords Dance. For anyone who doesn't know, in Gen 1, crits ignore *all* stat modifications, including ones that would benefit the critter. Thus, a SD boosted crit does the same damage as one without SD. I'm adding this as the video can be read as saying this combo does a lot of damage "if given the chance to set up". I think it probably means that this combo is good, and in addition, Charizard has other moves that are good with some setup.
On Snorlax, Amnesialax was the special variant that Ash could use. But again, since Ash still uses Snorlax in Johto (aka Gen 2), we gonna get a massive lecture on Curselax, which I never get tired of hearing. This series is going to teach us that if Ash evolved his Pokemon, he'd have a competitively viable team and that they wrote Ash as inept for too long.
Here's a crazy thought and maybe this could help: What if, instead, Snorlax was a Special built? It does have access to Amnesia, one of the more broken moves in the game. Since his Pokemon is lacking on the Special department defense wise, Snorlax could switch into that. His only problem would be facing the Alakazam with a high crit ratio, but it would still put up a fight overall.
You make fun, but there's a Smogon warstory where someone won a Gen IV OU match using Ash's Orange Islands team. Yes, including the NFE Pikachu, Squirtle and Bulbasaur alongside Tauros, Charizard and Lapras.
The thing that surprises me the most about this isn't where certain mons ranked... but that he only had that few during Gen 1. My man had to catch'em all and he caught like 14.
"ash's only chance of winning a tournament ou set, is that he has to full send into offense.." me: so, exactly how he battled in the early seasons of the anime. Makes perfect sense.
If you can predict the switch in, mul explosion is brutal against anything not rock type but If you can predict the rock switch in, mega drain can at least dent the incoming Mon. Much better choices but absolutely usable. Hearing Tauros and gen 1 champion music is like an injection to the veins. Snorlax was the prep and Tauros was the push. Good video
I would recommend at least discussing Fire Spin when talking about potential sets for Charizard since trapping moves in Gen 1 completely prevent the opponent from doing anything for 2-5 turns. Combined with Charizard’s good speed tier that could have given him a niche and more opportunities for Swords Dance while the opponent couldn’t move. Though the imperfect accuracy is a drawback. Also crits ignore stat boosts as well as drops in Gen 1 so Slash doesn’t have synergy with Swords Dance, but Smogon does list Slash as an option in UU so I can’t fault you there. All in all great video dude!
You should take liberties of just fully evolving ash's teams, because besides XY SM and Journeys most of his teams have unevolved Pokemon and I want to hear you talk about Venasur Floatzel Garchomp and Decedueye
Light ball was actually introduced in gen 2
i wonder how many people will end up spamming this correction. :)
Spam away! Lol
Spam it up!
I always considered Pikachu as having an in-built light bulb
Raichu should be able to use the light ball
Ash has a herd full of Tauros. By Gen 1 standards, hes the most powerful trainer in Kanto.
If only the team could have been 6 Tauros. 😂
Imagine fighting Richie with 3 Tauros in a row lol

There’s an alternate timeline out there where Ash evolved his Gible all the way and the fact that we are not in that timeline is a cruel twist of fate

Ok but let's be fair:
Gible is really cute
@@orangeman3505 And more importantly, it hits Piplup all the time with Draco Meteors.
Based Kingler has the highest winrate out of all of Ash's Pokémon and made the cut!
In a cut episode Ash brought a team of 6 tauros to a tournament. It ended up so one sided that he became the reason for the species clause
Is this real?
@@aquenture no lol
@@UGMD dont worry i love spreading missinformation in the internet too 😈

Damn Species Clause preventing Ash from running 6 Tauros
Ash in gen 1 with an army of Tauros: 👿
Ash in any other gen with an army of Tauros: 💀
Ash knew his stuff, the man got 30 Tauros to be prepared to top that OU ladder
Well, this looks absolutely awesome! Can't wait to see the rest of the rest of Ash's Mons!

@@duderino6171in Gen1 it was worse. Psychic types were immune to Ghost. And Ghost type only had few attacking moves.
Please continue this series.
Imagine Ash being a smart alec troll and starts bringing up obscure nonsensical Gen 1 mechanics when he beats someone he has no business beating under normal and logical circumstances
Gen 1 mechanics vs anime mechanics. Pick your poison.
Both at once.
Uses Swirds dance on Charizard to boost it's speed due to the badge boost glitch AND it listens cause he has all 8 badges
Super entertaining video, actually interested in seeing it done for each gen of his mons to see how Ash's OU viability changes over the generations
The way you have been managing to pump up these great ideas for 6 years now and I’ve been following you for 6 years
06:13 - inflicting a burn on a fire type is quite the accomplishment
For some reason, Ash’s Mom’s Mr. Mime is counted as one of Ash’s Pokémon during the final arc, so *technically* he has a Psychic-type.
6:14
"Congratulations Charizard, you are officially mid" Man that hurt to hear. Right in the nostalgia.
I’m expecting a lot of people to ask for more of this series which is fair this was amazing
The one edge ash's team has: mindgames. Ain't no way people see haunter and go "Yeah he doesn't have a gengar" they go "oh god he's running double ghosts."
2:55 “that’s what happens when you make three pokemon of the same type [normal/flying] in the same generation”
Farfetch’d is so bad it doesn’t even count as a pokemon, damn
"Ash never caught a psychic type in gen 1"
*Mr Mime miming crying noises*
"He definitely would've said bye bye to butterfree the minute he took it into OU" hilarious
I hope this series continues with gen +2, I hope it's not gonna be left in the dust like the how good was this type as Ice type was the only one made

Calling Charizard a "Flying orange Lizard." I see false-swipe has been watching some Mr.1Upz
As many people say: This was amazing! Please do the other gens as well 😍
I love this concept, can’t wait to see his future mons
Great concept, structure, execution and presentation. All around great start of a new series 🎉
This was a very well made video and team, FSG!
Can’t wait till the Gen 2 video!

This is a cool twist on judging Ash’s Pokémon. Hope that you make more! I find it wild that Ash now has a Lucario, a Gengar, and a Dragonite!
This is the most unique video by False Swipe Gaming! Love it!!!!
Loved the format! Looking foward to an analysis of the following gens
Really liked this Idea, please keep it going
"Congratulations you are officially mid" is one of the most painful things you can ever hear

This was a really fun idea. Hopefully you do the other seven generations
Amazing video. I hope this series continues
This was an awesome video and idea, keep it up for the other genz! 😁
This was really fun! I'd love to see a video like this for each generation of Pokemon Ash had!
Seconded!
Not gonna sugarcoated. Even if the anime can get corny from time to time, this man was ice cold
really great vid would love to see this turn into a mini series where you rank all of ash's teams
This was great! Seeing footage from Mah-Dry-Bread and JRose11 was a nice surprise, too.
The series I never knew I needed 😭😭😭💙💙💙
Here's a crazy thought and maybe this could help: What if, instead, Snorlax was a Special built? It does have access to Amnesia, one of the more broken moves in the game.

this was a lot of fun, I'd love a similar breakdown of each gen and I hope you're working on or planning one.
You make fun, but there's a Smogon warstory where someone won a Gen IV OU match using Ash's Orange Islands team. Yes, including the NFE Pikachu, Squirtle and Bulbasaur alongside Tauros, Charizard and Lapras.
Ohhh, if this becomes a series, I will be over the moon
It was just a meme, but now we are legit doing "How GOOD was Ash Ketchum ACTUALLY?"
He was the very best, like no one ever was (at least in the end)
But he needs to be able to take pokemon from earlier gens with him, because in johto he has only NFE pokemon except Noctowl, heracross and donphan.
I like this series!! Keep up the great work!
This was a really cool idea! Let see more of this in the future!
I was actually just thinking about tanking ash’s Pokémon from a competitive pov! Great timing guys!
Y’know, it makes sense for ash to have a team that has a barely coherent strategy to it.
Great video! Gotta do Gary Oak next:D
This is such a sweet format! I’m excited to see the other regions
I love this concept! Please do a gen 2 version of the team and onward
The thing that surprises me the most about this isn't where certain mons ranked... but that he only had that few during Gen 1. My man had to catch'em all and he caught like 14.
What great content! I look forward to more of this type of content! FSG is GOATED pokemon content
This looks like this'll be a fun series, also going in on nostalgia!
I can only hope this is a new series that goes through each generation, because this was a lot of fun
Ash knew he could smash any opponent with his herd of Tauros. He simply chose weaker teams to challenge himself.
I only just noticed, and now can never unsee, the little smiley face in Kingler's back sprite.
Already this is a cool topic for you to cover. I hope you'll do more like this!
Great video, can’t wait for the other gens if you do them!
Keep it coming! Loved this vid
I would like to see more videos like this. What would be ash's team across the generation of OU
Nevermind those 2 teams, Ash could just build 5 teams of 6 Tauros and wipe the Indigo League with Body Slams/Hyper Beams all day.
Great video, can't wait to see the rest of the generations.
great episode,i hope you can continue this as a series
It only gets worse later on because at some points he stops catching more than 6 pokemon
"ash's only chance of winning a tournament ou set, is that he has to full send into offense.."
me: so, exactly how he battled in the early seasons of the anime. Makes perfect sense.
The choice of music was on point!
Don’t be fooled by the media. Ash catching thirty tauros was no accident. He was playing 4D chess on the metagame
The writing on this episode is exceptional, please continue the writing style of this one.
If you can predict the switch in, mul explosion is brutal against anything not rock type but If you can predict the rock switch in, mega drain can at least dent the incoming Mon. Much better choices but absolutely usable. Hearing Tauros and gen 1 champion music is like an injection to the veins. Snorlax was the prep and Tauros was the push. Good video
This was great, you should do this kind of video for every gen
Great video, I have a question tho, for next gens are you going to reconsider the previous gen mons, in the new metas or only the new pokemon
For Charizard, doesn't slash crit ignore attack boosts from swords dance? Since it's gen1
True, but Slash gives it immediate boost without setting up and bypasses Reflect.
