RT’s streamer luck in a nutshell: -Catch god with a level 7 piplup -Find fly, making travel much easier -Accidently softlock the fourth gym so that he can’t use fly and loses the challenge
@@Jhay052347968 Yes. Fly is really important for the end of the race. Think about it this way; both players written down where the gym warps are, but RT has to also remember the walking path it takes to get there, including any softlocks and dead ends, while Pointcrow could literally just, fly to the warp he needed to go to. It definitely lost him the challenge.
This is basically a Top Gear challenge. “Hammond, where are you?” “Mount Coronet, mate. We’re ahead of you.” “Have you seen the Stig?” “I think he’s struggling to navigate Bulbapedia. Could take him a while.”
@@JosefTBB In the video yeah, but during the live stream it took a long while, on top of trying to figure out Maylene afterwards before accepting that it was glitched.
@@snomandonly in a way with how you put it yes because entering the front door is how you get to a living room, not sure how you enter it again when youre already in there but i dont think going outside of a building is entering a door exactly
If RT had fly, probably would've won as there would be no hoops that need to be jumped getting between towns, but it was a fun run to watch nonetheless, although maybe it would have still been close with a few minutes difference, who knows.
I concur. RT still made really good progress despite his handicap, and if it weren't for the fact the 4th gym was bugged I think he definitely would've won. He had everything there but that bug really screwed him over.
RT: "ive captured god" PointCrow: *thinks he means bidoof* PointCrow: *realizes it may not be bidoof* PointCrow: You mean bidoof or arceus? *sound of defeat on Pointcrows side*
i watched this live and honestly if RT had been able to beat maylene and gotten fly he would have smoked pointcrow, because pointcrow had spent so long looking for cynthia while RT technically knew where everything was, except he spent 30+ min searching for maylene who would not appear anywhere and after that he wasn't able to fly around to get the rest of the warps
This is honestly an interesting insight into how Platinum works, that it actually does check for the right badge rather than overall progression. Kind of makes me want to see a game that puts at least some of the gyms in no particular order and makes all the HMs traversal abilities so the region gradually opens up in different ways depending on how you play.
Its not intresting since thats how it has always worked in every single Pokemon game. It literally states you need to have a particular badge to use that HM move.
Was there for the full stream - Pointcrow announcing his victory crushed my soul. Watching you go through all that bullshit, the fourth gym in an inconvenient location, getting locked out of Fly, yet about to pull a comeback... just to have it snatched away at the last possible moment. Damn sequence break. GG Crow, I look forward to watching the rematch.
@@samsungtab3977 it is a bug, he talked to her at the other location to get her to go to the gym but it was only after he already went to the gym and ig because you normally cant walk in there yet or something it bugged and wouldnt ever spawn her in there even after he returned, whereas pointcrow was lucky enough to talk to her before he found the gym. or maybe theres different loadzones for a gym with her and without her and somehow he only found the without her one, but i kinda doubt that
I was playing Platinum right before the remakes got leaked which was a confusing experience, going from older style game with more content to newer style game with less content, since the remakes didn’t have Platinum content.
It's like what would happen if Dialga and Palkia literally said "fuck you we're done making time and space happen". Everything's out of order, nothing goes where or when it's supposed to, but all you know is you gotta beat Cynthia.
I love the idea of having an cut-out of each room and trying to piece it together. I have the guide book from pearl and diamond so it isn't impossible...
It was so unfortunate that rts game was bugged :/ I‘m pretty sure he might have won that round. Nonetheless it was really entertaining watching the vod and I hope to maybe see a rematch or some more randomizers like this!
Just picture one day all the doors swap, a man goes home after a long day. Goes inside, sees the God of Pokémon waiting for him, “ hello Timmy, i been waiting for your arrival”
Omg, I saw PointCrow do this with SmallAnt in Hoenn, it's so cool to see him do it again with you and Sinnoh! This randomizer is so insane I'm so freaking excited for this!!! I love these races! /gen /pc
I think the Marlene glitch was caused by RT seeing her on the way to Snowpoint City, before fighting her at her gym. So close, he was ahead for most of the objects until that point. And with fly not being available, it really slowed down the later stages of the game.
“That’s just reggiegigas”… I remember when I first found Reggiegiga in dia. It was before it was normal to have some kind of device to look things up on the internet and I thought I was god showed all my friends at school the next day I swear to god I was cool for at least a week RT you crushed it RT how… HOW COULD YOU DO THIS RT! Nah that was beautiful enjoyed the video a lot man.
I've been watching PointCrow the past week as I've gotten back into Pokémon and suddenly he challenges my favorite youtuber to a race in my first and favorite Pokémon game? I must be dreaming!
I've been watching both SmallAnt race against PointCrow and your videos for the past few days and this video feels like something I would dream up because of that.
I don’t know why, but I love the concept of naming arceus something ridiculous like shnuggles. It’s so oddly charming to me for whatever reason. My sister is gonna name him Cooscoos when legends comes out
considering how fed up rt was at the end we probably won't get a rematch but I wish we could, he spent a good while looking for the gym leader after she wasn't at her gym and not having fly also slowed him down a bunch. plus rt and pointcrow together is the dream combo
Ooh, neat. I remember recently seeing smallant do a similar video (was it also against pointcrow?), that was pretty cool. I like watching highlights from warp-randomizers but boy I could never play one of these for any game.
Maylene to RT: Anyway, I have to go to Snowpoint City. I'm going to train with Candice. See you! RT: Ok. *few hours later* RT: _enters Veilstone City Gym, get's to the end of it, doesn't find Maylene_ PointCrow: *Bug.*

Hi RT!
6th very poggers

RT’s streamer luck in a nutshell:
-Catch god with a level 7 piplup
-Find fly, making travel much easier
-Accidently softlock the fourth gym so that he can’t use fly and loses the challenge
I think we all know who the real winner was here.
He was too lucky for his own good
Shnuggles had to step up 💀
Did Pointcrow use fly a lot? That's how he wins if that's the case, which would be really unfair.
@@Jhay052347968 Yes. Fly is really important for the end of the race.

@@GrandleJams How did Pointcrow use Fly? Don't you need to beat Maylene to get access to Fly?
This is basically a Top Gear challenge.
“Hammond, where are you?”
“Mount Coronet, mate. We’re ahead of you.”
“Have you seen the Stig?”
“I think he’s struggling to navigate Bulbapedia. Could take him a while.”
"Could be worse."
*cut to it being worse*
*softlocks again*
"Oh cock"
Okay but imagining them sitting and rating Pokemon, or messing with each other's party to ruin the chances of succeeding is great

This stream was truly a treat, especially as we slowly went insane over gym 4
But he found the 4th gym at 8:58 right?
@@JosefTBB In the video yeah, but during the live stream it took a long while, on top of trying to figure out Maylene afterwards before accepting that it was glitched.
Great as always for him to go insane
@@JosefTBB it took like 2 hours
according to the timer in the bottom right, it took nearly exactly 1 hour to find gym 4, which makes up for over 1/4 of race
RT: "I've got an Arceus and a Bidoof named God and Shnuggles"
Someone: "Aww, Shnuggles is a cute name for a Bidoof"
RT: "No, Arceus is Shnuggles"
"You enter one door, and come out somewhere else"
Dan...That's the whole point of doors. You know that, right?
...what are you smokin lol
@@Vhargon if you are in the living room and enter the front door are you still in the living room?
@@snomandonly in a way with how you put it yes because entering the front door is how you get to a living room, not sure how you enter it again when youre already in there but i dont think going outside of a building is entering a door exactly
I’m pretty sure almost 80% of the stream was just RT slowly losing his mind looking for the 4th gym
*looking for Maylene
he found the gym but not the gym leader
That damn fourth gym badge
Not her fault.
She needs those lessons from Candice so she becomes a better gym leader.
If RT had fly, probably would've won as there would be no hoops that need to be jumped getting between towns, but it was a fun run to watch nonetheless, although maybe it would have still been close with a few minutes difference, who knows.
Yeah he had literally found all of the necessary warps to the gyms and elite four, not having fly ruined everything
He also wouldn't have wasted 30 minutes searching the bugged gym leader if he didn't need to do that either.
I think we should get a rematch only because RT had to handicap himself because we all know Crow couldn’t handle the awesome might of the Drift king
I concur. RT still made really good progress despite his handicap, and if it weren't for the fact the 4th gym was bugged I think he definitely would've won. He had everything there but that bug really screwed him over.
Jokes aside, the 4th gym bug screwed him over. There definitely should be a rematch.
Just watched Pointcrow's video as well, they agree to a rematch and Crow says that he doesn't consider it a real win because of the bugs RT faced c:
"I caught a level 80 Arceus."
"JESUS. WHA-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"Winning."
God I love this exchange.
God and Shnuggles are the perfect duo no one asked for, but we all desperately needed
Less than a minute in and I can already say that this is the most chaotic playthrough I've ever witnessed
RT: "ive captured god"
PointCrow: *thinks he means bidoof*
PointCrow: *realizes it may not be bidoof*
PointCrow: You mean bidoof or arceus?
*sound of defeat on Pointcrows side*

RT: ok we need to start taking notes!
Narrator: But he did not start to take notes.
"which order are the gyms in"
"One, two, three..."

*Walks into a cave*
Cynthia: "So, you have chosen death."
Just like walking into Undella town. She remains in character, no matter where she is found
Knowing pointcrow's luck I can tell this is going to end bad for him
Edit: nvm
You're thinking of against Smallant.
@@theendersmirk5851 PointCrow doesn’t have bad luck, SmallAnt has better luck.
pointcrow does have a tendency to get bad luck in races where RNG is involved
Probably just all the souls of the countless civilians RT has killed casting bad juju on him
That 3rd Gym and lack of Fly after finding EVERYTHING was genuinely crushing. RT was so robbed.
This is very much deserving of a rematch. RT would have had much much greater chances of winning if it hadn't been for the bug!
Is it even a bug? You can't be at two spots at the same time, which happened here but weirdly not when I played Platinum.
@@samsungtab3977 it is a bug, he talked to her at the other location to get her to go to the gym but it was only after he already went to the gym and ig because you normally cant walk in there yet or something it bugged and wouldnt ever spawn her in there even after he returned, whereas pointcrow was lucky enough to talk to her before he found the gym. or maybe theres different loadzones for a gym with her and without her and somehow he only found the without her one, but i kinda doubt that
this stream was pure pain. just pain. he couldnt figure out where a single gym was for nearly 2 hours.
I think that's typical for these location randomizers, judging by what happened in the other location randomizer duels.
The frustrating searching is on par with location randomisers but the bug made it worse
I was playing Platinum right before the remakes got leaked which was a confusing experience, going from older style game with more content to newer style game with less content, since the remakes didn’t have Platinum content.
It's like what would happen if Dialga and Palkia literally said "fuck you we're done making time and space happen". Everything's out of order, nothing goes where or when it's supposed to, but all you know is you gotta beat Cynthia.

There’s something extremely hilarious about how there’s people guarding the entrance to an old couple’s home.
how the editors managed to condense almost four hours into 20 minutes ill never know
I love the idea of having an cut-out of each room and trying to piece it together. I have the guide book from pearl and diamond so it isn't impossible...
You can tell RT and Crow are great friends from the fact that Crow knew to ask RT if he meant Bidoof or Arceus when he said "I just caught God."
It was so unfortunate that rts game was bugged :/ I‘m pretty sure he might have won that round. Nonetheless it was really entertaining watching the vod and I hope to maybe see a rematch or some more randomizers like this!
Isn't that logic actually? Not being at one place because you're somewhere else?
15:28 "Hit it with Return first because it has Sturdy" sudden flashbacks to Alpharad's Nuzlocke's "I thought it had Sturdy"
When RT accidentally found Cynthia I fucking cried lmao
Love the "I lost my mind" as if you didn't loose it way before this rt
I never even thought these two knew each other. I am very surprised. Loved the video
There's a pic of RT and Jerma at an event together out there that was cool to see too.
I like how Smallant v Adrive was full of threats and bluffs, then theres RT and Pointcrow having a far-too-friendly competition
"I can access pretty much every warp point once I get the third badge."
Me, who's seen the end of the stream
I was there. It was wild. RT gradually descending into insanity in the period of 2.5 hours is such a journey.
i watched the vod for this on twitch and i cannot describe how chat lost their fucking Gourd when RT thought the 3rd gym was the 5th
I mean to be fair, Platinum's gym order always throws me off. But the converse is true, in DP, I always think it's Platinum.
Eric challenged Smallant and lost, now he goes up against the Drift King. Will the King come out on top or will Eric finally get his victory?
I actually gasped when you accidentally wandered into Cynthia's room mid-convo like omg
Just picture one day all the doors swap, a man goes home after a long day. Goes inside, sees the God of Pokémon waiting for him, “ hello Timmy, i been waiting for your arrival”
"We're gonna try and capture god."
(Encounters Arceus)
You think you can pull a fast one on me? I know GOD when i see em. And that ain't it chief.
Hell yeah! I love pokemon randomizers! Honestly what got me into the franchise. That and fakemon
Bro you know you've hit it big when you have had like 4 different youtooz groups

I think this may have been one of my favorite challenges because I LOVED these games. I wouldn’t mind if you did more of this stuff!
man, i was just deciding whether to watch an rt video or a pointcrow video. thanks for giving me both
RT should have have just been like, "So tell me about SmallAnt, hmm?" At the end
Maybe this is what Leon goes through in shield. Every room he goes into is randomized and he gets lost so easily
oh i love pointcrow and smallant's randomizer races, I was so excited to see this!
Never thought I'd see a video with Pointcrow and RT, it's great to see!
Imagine if every warp rerandomized every time it was used - I’m pretty sure that would literally be impossible to complete though
