Short Bio:
My Name is Steve, and welcome to my Channel!
I grew up in the early 2000's playing a lot of generation 1 and 2 Pokemon games on Gameboy Advanced and SP. But I wasn't a big team building guy, or catch them all kind of guy. I liked changing the settings to set battle style, and brute forcing every battle with the Pokemon I had (just like ASH). Now as an adult, I get to do the same thing, but I'm informed about stats, match-ups, and glitches.
So follow along with me, each week as I speedrun Pokemon red and blue with a different Pokemon and fill my pokedex, learn from the experience, and beat it again with a much better performance. Sit back, relax, and watch me struggle/ease my way through Kanto with 1 single Pokemon. Keep an eye out for easter egg and play mistakes along the way, make sure to tell me in the comments about them.
I will make sure to try and post Pokemon Challenges and/or Pokemon Shorts each week.
Thank you all for watching!

I think to me the most surprising part was the speed tie with Whitney’s miltank! They were the same level and then you realize that miltank (a regular cow) has a higher base speed than ho-oh (a legendary bird). That’s Pokémon for you!!! Hahaha.

[@SteveMPlays]

There's a famous meme out there about tropius has less attack than bellsprout. Truth is, Pokemon have to have a Stat distribution, and it's hard to future proof it.

[@michaelsmith6155]

It's still pretty funny 😂

[@SteveMPlays]

Of course it's funny, a weed vs a dragon, which one has more attack? 😂

[@bateltheassistant]

Wow, a first try victory at Red, that's amazing! Especially, when you had that player error with Espeon. Onter then that Ho- oh didn't really had much of a challenge onter then Lance, and (fondly enough) , Bruno. But unlike Kanto, Johto is really good for fire types, especially with Ho oh's signature move of sacred fire that has more then 50% chance to inflict a burn. 🤔 By the way you did an excellent job with the editing. I can easily notice how much you're passionate about your videos how much effort you put into your work. In onter words, I must say, I salute you, Steve. Keep up the good work! ☺️👏👏👏

[@SteveMPlays]

Thank you very much, I'm looking forward to testing the boundaries of what I can do and finding my niche.

[@michaelsmith6155]

I prefer Ho-oh looks wise, but If Lugia had the dragon water type it would probs be my fav 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SteveMPlays]

Lugia looks like so many types. For me I think it needs to be water flying to compliment ho oh, the psychic type is baffling.

[@michaelsmith6155]

Side note I love the Pokemon thought bubbles 🤣

[@SteveMPlays]

Thanks, I'm experimenting on sound effects that video. I'm trying to get funnier, but I'm not naturally funny.

[@Speedrunner0218]

This should have more views since this is great content

[@michaelsmith6155]

I'm sure it'll just blow up soon.

[@SteveMPlays]

I hope so too

[@SteveMPlays]

It's certainly weird what's happening with views.

[@onlinebully8637]

I really liked lugias psychic flying type but always liked ho oh more

[@SteveMPlays]

I never understood why lugia was considered psychic. Cause it's name is protector of the sea.

[@onlinebully8637]

@@SteveMPlays didn't know that's what lugia stood for

[@SteveMPlays]

I mean it's not like in Greek it means that or anything. I just mean in the anime/movie it's labeled the Guardian of the Sea and it comes out of the ocean. Yet not a water type.
