Wait Dragonite's run was two years ago already? Wow I thought it was more recent.

Another day, another occurrence of Scott defying all odds The combined chance of missing four Rock Slides out of five turns is 0.045% Game Freak pls

Pupitar over here enamored by Cows and Dragonair barely escaping Twister PP problems.

I had to subscribe because of how well done these are but also because the amount of work the layout had to take for all these videos had to be insane and deserves to be appreciated and rewarded

Scott narrated a whole section of the video while mentioning level 69 and managed to not make a joke nor have it pop up on screen.

Crystal can be so anticlimactic in these runs, both Pokemon have huge move pools just for them both at the end to use return/curse

Bro i Challenge myself to beat Pokémon Crystal with only an single Dragonite, now im thinking to do the same thing in Pokémon SoulSilver. Should i do It? (Also your hack ROM Pokémon Yellow Legacy is great)

Venomoth gets to be an ice type this time.

So no Dennis? 🤔😭

Low kick can flinch? I didn't know that! And I don't know how to feel about the invulnerability glitch. If it's activated against your will, OK, but this time you looked for it. And I know it needs luck to even put it to work, but feels cheesy nonetheless.

Seeing you use *Thunder Wave* as the move to overwrite for Surf was /sending/ me lol. Paraflinch strats are Dragonair's bread and butter, sadly, especially since at that time you already had Headbutt and Twister. Surf could then be used as a (typically more effective) KO move.

Dragonair ❤

Man i love dragonite but sometimes i wish dragonair would evolve into milotic

shiny Machamp looks like Battletoads character

You really don't care for certain Pokémon - or hate them - until they safe your butt in a nuzlocke.

To avoid getting attracted, make your pokemon female. (Don't mind me, I am being dumb: This is gen 2, DV's are sexist: male-> better attack.)

<3

The first pass of Johto is basically the story of how lucky Dragonair can get vs. how wildly the universe hates Pupitar lol

"despiste it not having wings..." looks at sprite looks at artwork guess those are just flappy ears then

I never understood why they demoted Giovanni's Rhydon to a Rhyhorn for the gym battle. Made it seem kind of underwhelming for a final battle...

00:39 My sleepy ass absolutely heard that Grimer has ADHP. Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity... Pokémon?

Time to average out the tier list i think. Waaay too top heavy

Dragonair always has a place on my team. Has since gen1. ❤

Hell yea cant wait for the ttar vs nite video. Poor rock ground types man, can't catch a break 😭 btw you were my most watched creator this year according to recap. Keep these videos coming so I can say it again next year lmao

Idk why I’m picking this video of all places to mention it, but one thing I really like about the Crystal videos is when you play the champion music before Lance’s fight and the arrow flashes with the music. It’s a very small, but very satisfying touch.

Okay, no, this was really unfair to Dragonair. It DESERVED another run, the second run was way too sloppy.

46:40 sloppiest seconds lol

The Rock Slides misses on Pryce were sooooo unfair. I mean, one or two is ok... but there were what? FIVE!?!? WTF

You know, I was wondering why Attract never really comes up, because while I have some very funny and satisfying strats to beat Whitney in style on regular runs, I still always have to make sure my Whitney destroyer is female, because my luck with Attract is atrocious. It's good to know that isn't much different for professionals.

feels so weird seeing a hardcore nuzelock and it not be a mono type run

dodrio PLZ

Was it said why thèse runs aren't played with remakes which correctes mistakes/bizarre choices that were due to material limits?

That dragonite hit more freezes than I have playing pokemon my whole life 😂 lucky as hell

These were really good runs. I guess Dragonite really needs to be redone---it feels a bit wrong that Dragonair would be faster? Or is the Flying-type that detrimental to it? Pupitar did about as well as you'd expect, it isn't a good typing (not as bad as Gen 1, but still) being Rock/Ground and those stats are really mediocre to have that typing. I do wish you would've addressed the Machop controversy though. It's a serious matter if you're going to do that for the remaining Yellow runs because there's no good justification for allowing that glitch when it's not only a glitch that can ONLY happen by intentional gameplay (unlike badge boosts, etc.), but more hideously RNG than the banned Double Team.

38:39 wow took me over 25 years to realize Victreebel is spelled with one L. For a second I thought it’s name was cut off 😅😂

I really love the idea of a middle form versus. I'd love to see that with other match ups. Middle forms don't get enough love.

Lunatone and Solrock were always some of my faves in Gen 3 but I never used either! This was a really great one! Something I’ve noticed in your Emerald playthroughs is you pronounce “aqua” as “ackwa”. Ive never heard someone say it that way before! (I’ve only heard it as “awkwa”) lol Thanks for all your dedication in making these! :)

Dragonair is so pretty. It's one of my favorite mid-stages. <3 Pupitar... exists, I guess. >_>

Dragonair is my favorite middle evolution <3

An interesting comparison would be snubble vs maril, both were introduced before Gen 2 (snubble made a cameo in the first Pokémon movie) maril was a companion character during the orange isle arch. Both became are monotypes that later become fairy in Gen 6.

This feels like it all came down to Dragonair not taking a large time lose in the early stages of the run like Dratini did because of wrap.

Do you consider always running as female to prevent Miltank attract strats?

Man I hate seeing another Pokémon with a great move set using the ubiquitous Curse + Return strat... Pupitar has Access to its Strongest STAB Moves in the Game. I kinda wish it was banned like double team.

i liked the venomoth arrow

I felt those rockslide misses in my very soul. When I was playing vgc early scarlet violet, I had a tyranitar out vs a liligant and a torkoal. Turn 1: Double miss rockslide Turn 2: Miss torkoal, hit liligant Turn 3: Double miss rockslide Turn 4: hit both, KO liligant, torkoal lives on red Turn 5: miss torkoal torkoal crits lava plume KO tyranitar It is probably the single unluckiest moment I've ever had playing pokemon, and I've been playing a very long time but seeing it happen to someone else with the larvitar line brought back memories

Hype for Scott! <3

21:51 he has a full heal 😅 actually pretty annoying when you’re using sleep strats

My favourite vids on this channel are the versus ones with two different types

Well, the mon who i thought would win did. I made it to 51:06. And no Scott, YOU'RE INCREDIBLE!

You were my most watched creator of 2024, according to my KZbin recap. It’s always time well spent.
