His channel feels very human. It's not perfect, but that's not even a bad thing here!

[@Besitzerstolz]

Kinda poetic how you finally beat the nice lady after hours of battling, enter the room of the best fighting trainer in the land and the only thing he does is failing at looking at you in a scary way.

[@gerg905]

20:40 Vitamins in all generations before 8 don't actually "max out" your EVs. They get you up to a maximum of 100 (technically you can use it at 99 at get 109 EVs and starting in Gen8 you can pump them up to their cap). Each EV can have a max of 255 (252 in later generations) and you have a max of 510 across all stats. Hearing "max out" in terms of EVs is a bit of a misnomer.

[@Kahadi]

Technically it isn't inaccurate, you're just looking at it wrong. He is still maxing them out by Vitamin standards, it is a cap. A soft one, but still.

[@jasontompsett-ince7164]

MDBAMA: Is there any games you want to do challenge runs in but something about the game prevents you?

[@riemaennchen]

The rare moment when you resist Water and are 4x weak to Electro and somehow the Water Gym ends being the bigger challenge.

[@theavatarofinsanity]

Gotta be honest I never even considered Venusaur and Blastoise also throwing later battles due to their dud moves. I just looked at the pattern of the champ self sabotaging with rage and got curious if the other starters could make things a little bit more interesting. But anyway, thanks a lot for clearing that up for me. Keep up the good work!

[@___________0Z0X]

Same. That was a good question.

[@Onmur]

That Agatha fight was kind of... a lottery. And that freeze at the end was a nice bit of BM.

[@Barracius]

I am once again asking you to take the fossil opposite the one you say you took. Just to see who notices. Yes, I know he took the Dome fossil on a fossils only run when he started with Omanyte. But that is not what I mean. I mean I want to hear "I took the Root fossil" while seeing the Claw fossil being taken. Or hearing "I took the Helix fossil" while seeing the Dome fossil being taken. And to those who say that this has happened before - when? Show me! I've looked and looked and have not seen it!

[@MyNameIsQuinn]

I secretly wait for the moment he does this. Every single episode 🤣

[@MasterofInterspace]

He's done it before. Pretty sure it was a firered run.

[@Barracius]

@@MasterofInterspace See people keep saying that. And I keep looking with no results. Nobody has ever posted a link showing him do it. He has taken Dome when he started with Omanyte (such as for a fossil only run). He addressed that it would be funny. But as far as I have seen he has never actually done it.

[@MasterofInterspace]

@@Barracius I could be thinking about the time that he had a different intro written than the one he was reading out to catch who was paying attention. But I'm pretty sure. I can go poking around

[@danieltilson4053]

If he ever does, I probably won't know. I tend to have these on as background noise.

Ah yes. John Michael Wingull. Requesting Pokemon B2W2 With Only One Chinchou.

Hey MDB, i wanted to thank you for the YEARS of Entertainment you give to us. I use your videos as a Help to fall asleep at night, and i have huge problems with sleep.

[@KOSMOS1701A]

you got new lenses for your glasses? Now you and Stingull have the Keen Eye ability. : D

[@imperfectsinger590]

Since you mentioned starting gen 6 runs, I'll continue my tradition of suggesting a challenge for a game that I'm playing for the first time: X or Y with only gift Pokémon. You get a gen 6 starter, a gen 1 starter that can Mega Evolve, a Lucario that can Mega Evolve, a Fossil Pokémon and Lapras! It's like they're challenging you to lose with such an awesome team!

[@BlazingDiancie]

12:17 There's no ability in official games that does this, but Pokemon Elite Redux has the Scare ability, which is basically just Intimidate for Special Attack.

[@knate44]

Glad to see you are streaming again, that's one step closer to finally being able to catch a Crusader Kings, EU, or hearts of Iron game live. Spent so much time watching that backlog.

[@jamesdinius7769]

You're absolutely right about Special Attackers by the way. Between Intimidate, Burn, and contact punishment abilities (Poison point, rough skin, flame body, etc) physical Attackers have a harder time than special. There's no special equivalent to any of those.

[@bivcbmtgstgtssscqcrddgtrsm2257]

The only thing is that Rock types get extra special defense in sandstorms, and that's... Not much.

[@ThomBaws]

Oooh, in Legends Arceus, the Ice status effect lowers the special attack of the Pokémon that has it, so in that game, it's the direct counterpart to burn

Cranial nerve 2 (the optic nerve) should not be affected by neck/spinal problems unless vascular is compromised coming from the neck. Pain can potentially impact vision

oh, believe me, in Poland, when you have an appointment with a doctor in 6 months, you can only be happy. A referral from a family doctor to a specialist means a waiting time, e.g. for an orthopedist, it is 12 months, and for a neurologist, the time is even longer.

[@Karokzak]

Gosh I'm sure you were about to give up, for the challenge with Wingull. I was so sure you wouldn't made it not even on level 100. That lucky shot against the Lapras really got me off guard. Pokémon Challenge suggestion: You are free to go with the game of your choice, but the challenges is using only middle evolution stage pokémon. (For Exemple: If you pick Bulbasaur as your starter, you can only battle with Ivysaur.) You are not allowed to use pokémon who's has no evolution or only 1, it must be a pokémon with a 2 stage linear Evolution. So pokémon like Eevee or Tyrogue are not allowed, but pokémon like Oddish, Poliwag or Ralts are allowed. Try number: 18

In the US, we have to wait months and months for appointments and especially surgeries…and then pay thousands and thousands of dollars on top of it when it’s done! It could always be worse, my man. Just be strong and keep up the fight like you have been!

[@GroundThing]

Yeah the mention of cost of living made me look up the difference, admittedly in aggregate, and it just seems like pocket change compared to the cost of health care in the US. IDK his finances, so maybe it makes sense, but I have the unfortunate feeling like he's lowballing the cost of healthcare in the US, by just looking at private insurance premiums and maybe copays for regular doctor visits, and not stuff like deductibles and co-insurance percentages up to the out-of-pocket maximums.

[@whoknows4780]

Yeah it sounds like Canada is starting to suck, too, but I have some disbelief that with all his medical issues, if he’d have any better luck up here. Keep your Canadian insurance if you come down here!

[@MahDryBread]

Nerbit is great!

[@danielbutler8103]

I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.

[@silverrey7379]

For the private insurance thing you said…. It only works very well if you are filthy rich… had my sons doctors office forget to submit a bill for 8 months but anything past 5 months they don’t pay… they tried charging me but after we said no they sent us to collections

[@tesladrew2608]

Even witth private insurance, healthcare is really expensive here in the US

[@GroundThing]

Yeah, I'm hoping he knows that even with private insurance, they won't cover between the first couple thousand (if you have expensive premiums, or a job that figures it's cheaper to pay the insurance company, in a bulk rate, than you any extra) to roughly ten thousand (if you only have still fairly expensive premiums), and even after that will only cover ~50-80% costs until you reach your out of pocket maximum. IDK his finances, so maybe it still makes sense, but if I could, I'd move to Canada from the US in a heartbeat, just from the differences in healthcare costs, difference in cost of living be damned.

[@meteorburst4646]

I’d love to see a challenge run done in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness or Coliseum. Probably not great for solo runs, but maybe some tag team runs would be good. You’d have to use PKHex to give yourself the mons though since the UPR doesn’t work with it.

I would LOVE more yellow runs! Maybe a gift/trade run with no evos? I feel like it'd be a breeze with three fully evo starters

[@anibotic]

Regarding the Intimidate equivalent for Special Attack, such an ability doesn't exist yet. However, Gen 9 introduced Ruin legendary quartet that each lowers Atk, Def, Sp. Atk & Sp. Def for all mons except itself(even allies in doubles), So, they're grt for singles but not so much for doubles.
