When I was a kid, I was convinced that Team Rocket ran the Game Corner as a front, and the reason why they went around stealing pokemon was so they could offer them as expensive rewards at the prize counter.

[@kimberly_5682]

Oh my god. That actually makes a lot of sense. I was thinking that they probably had something akin to puppy mills. Especially for the rarer Pokemon like Dratini. Maybe it's a mix of both? They steal Pokemon and run puppy mills (pokémills?)

[@ArthurTRead]

Both of those ideas sound really plausible and make a lot of sense

[@jademarie2992]

That's deep for a kid

[@eleanorcarpenter37]

I thought that team rocket was using the game cornee to make money, and the pokemon were just incentives to make people spend more money, but since my only irl experiance is aracdes I figured dratini cost like 2000$ in really life money

[@agirlofalltraits2466]

The game dialog states that team rocket does own the game corner and does sell stolen pokemon there. In the manga they do experiments on them and hurt pokemon. And in the anime several episodes show that they also do breed pokemon.

[@amberknight7301]

So essentially, a run with a Pokemon that has 110 in HP, Defense, and Special Defense, 80 Sp. Atk and 80 Atk (with the Slow Start) and 50 Speed (with the Slow Start). That's not even a challenge. Even if you're not faster than most Pokemon, no opposing Pokemon is going to be putting a dent into an overleveled Regigigas so stalling until Slow Start wears off is way too easy. Even then 80 Atk is enough to one-shot most Pokemon using STAB moves like Strength, Mega Punch or Giga Impact if necessary.

"Seismic Toss is not great" Depends on what you consider great for a low level evo 1 pokemon. On Gen 1, Seismic Toss is really broken for an early game...

[@coreytaylor8151]

My guess is that since Seismic Toss is like Nightshade and does set health damage based on the user's level, it wasn't programmed like a regular move. The immunity factor only applies to damage dealing moves and Seismic Toss, while being a damage dealing move is probably classified by some value as more of a status move due to the set damage.

There are anti-piracy checks in HG/SS, making the game glitch out every 60 "game events". That's why he doesn't do runs in HG/SS. Also, as you said, it's good, so a challenge would be way too easy. (Maybe Red would be hard, but everything else wouldn't.)

What about the impossible challenge Pokémon red with only 1 weedle

[@Cwis444]

Yes

[@Cwis444]

Blaine would kill the Level 100 Weedle

[@Nerex7]

It's theoretical possible (unlike Caterpie, who cannot hit ghosts) but it will most likely end up being impossible. Weedle only gets Poison Sting and Stringshot, no level-up moves, no TMs. So there is no strategy to be used, no trick up your sleeve and I doubt Weedle can bruteforce itself through the game with Poison Sting even on level 100. I don't even want to know what level you need to beat Brock... It would be incredibly boring to watch.

Yeah, at least the Unown challenge had the variable of having 6 of them and having different types.

[@ZorotheGallade]

@@geodude6244 Machop can learn Dig from TM. 100 BP, Physical and supereffective against Poison type. Ghosts won't even touch it.

[@ZorotheGallade]

Karate Chop is Normal Type in Gen I. And the first Fighting Move Machop learns is Low Kick at level 20. Meaning you'll have to rely on the 54% crit rate (actually pretty good) to bypass Geodude's Hardens before you run out of PP, and hope you have enough to spare for Onix AND that you don't crit on the turn it uses Bide.

Lv. 100 Machop vs Lv. 38 Kadabra: Machop Fainted

[@Nerex7]

I doubt it needs that much overleveling. Machop has good Attack and the Abra-line has terrible defense, he will most like 2 shot or even 1 shot them depending on moves available (remember that karate chop is normal type in gen 1 and almost always crits!). The only issue is speed.

[@harunsenturk401]

[@NekoCutieSasha]

eh hello... dig TM? it was clearly shown in the list of TMs. that would have got you through the ghosts easily. poison weak to ground

[@ShinyTillDawn]

Yeah, I was cringing when he got EQ too late. Though, he shows the TM list while _editing_ the video, and didn't pay attention while researching the run.

[@louisvr921]

And he used a digging machamp in stadium

[@IamNumberE]

Thank you! I saw that and assumed he would use it, but noticed he didn't use it against Surge and got worried he used it on the paras

[@jonsmith5058]

I paused the video at this point as it made me totally lose my engagement as its such a basic thing to miss. I thought of ghosts at the start of this run then saw Dig and thought its obviously the TM solution.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

If he started doing challenges without TMs/HMs for the main Pokemon, then I'd be OK with not using dig/EQ as soon as obtainable.

[@nicklasbgeskov8815]

Someone needs to make a mod with good AI on big battles, THEN these runs would be difficult :) awesome run tho

[@duffle881]

Its not even that the AI is always bad, in Gen 1 if they have a move that has type advantage (regardless if it does dmg or not) it will use that because it reads that it will be super effective. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Gen 1 is smart, its just a programming thing.

[@Geddes1709]

Even more irony of seismic toss on a ghost is that im pretty sure there is an anime episode where Charizard tries to toss a Dusclops and it fails "cause its a ghost"

[@agitpolat1061]

That's just typical Gen 1 Jank though. In every other Gen, the same thing as the Anime happens

[@herrschnitzel9606]

I love the fact, that you said rival fifal.

[@chazcollabs9536]

Caterpie only Fire Red run, like so he can see it

[@Nerex7]

That's an impossible one though, as they only learn 2 moves (only 1 attacking move, which is tackle or poison sting for Weedle). There is no strategy to be made and you will already lose the challenge with Caterpie when going to Lavender Town, as you cannot hit ghosts with it (it learns no TMs either). Bug Bite doesn't exist in Gen 3.

[@chazcollabs9536]

@@Nerex7 It can't be impossible because I already played through the entire game with just a Caterpie, and in generation III, the move struggle is considered a typeless move so it can hit ghost types. Yeah the battles will be pretty mundane and slow but it would be interesting to see
