Can You Beat Pokémon Emerald Using the Exact Team That Ash Used For Every Major Battle?

Hey, I finally got this video back up. There's a cut at 26:31 which was the specific thing they were bothered about so you miss the introduction of Greta but that's about it. When this went down I re-edited and uploaded it because I was originally not sure what specifically they wanted cut and that version is here (if you want to hear the bit between the Noland and Greta battles): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZzXdZmXq5mAl5I

[@cp3417]

You may be able to fool all of the 12 year olds watching this video, but it's seriously a scummy thing to do. Anyone who has gotten any of the gold symbols at the Emerald Battle Frontier knows that you almost certainly faked this video. At the very least, you used save states in between battles. You can't get to the symbol leaders with non-EV trained pokemon, let alone using fricking non-Ev trained Swellow, Corpfish, and Pikachu (not to mention their movesets were terrible). Most people who do the battle frontier spend hours upon hours EV-training OU level pokemon with good movesets. Even then, it takes them a long time to get 1 symbol, let alone all of them. The fact that you managed to fool everyone into thinking you were able to drag corpfish, pikachu, bulbasaur, etc. for hundreds of wins against teams that would ohko you is laughable.

I think that these videos are some of the best examples of why the world of the anime and the games are VERY different and aren't really comprable in most cases. As in the anime the gym leaders often have completely different teams, rules and how you get to each gym leader/frontier brain is almost entirely different. That and in a world where the battles are dymanic instead of static like in the games, pokemon like Pikachu and Grovyle are a lot better and can take advantage of their speed more by actively dodging attacks and counterattacking and the like. I love em though

[@pokemonchampion4826]

Sadly not everyone thinks like, many others just want to compare games.

[@SophiaLilithUwU]

You are right to say it but sadly people are still going to nitpick the anime to death for not strictly adhering to the rule of the games, even though a turn based role play game and a shounen anime have almost zero intersectionality except for the characters used in them. It makes people feel smart and edgy to rag about this stuff.

Hmm, after this series is over/caught up to the anime, how about beating each gen with the same pokemon Team Rocket had in each season?

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

He can't beat Sabrina in Kanto

[@Nightstormshadow1]

The fact he could have beaten the E4 with his team and still failed says something.... Like.... Honestly.

I hate the battle against Wattson I get why they would overpower Pikachu though Ash has a flying type, water type, grass type, and electric type to battle 2 steel types and 1 electric type but Ash could have brought Phanpy

Ash’s Team was actually pretty good in Hoenn but the only problem is that their movesets were TERRIBLE. Wing attack AND Aerial Ace? Lol what

[@imtheonehero9305]

Those are some of the best flying moves back in Hoenn. Noob

[@logans.7932]

@@imtheonehero9305 Yeah, but why do you need both of them? It's not like one of them has 10 or less PP, so one is just objectively better than the other.

The same can be said for his greninja which has a terrible moveset

[@imtheonehero9305]

@@logans.7932 it's an anime, dummy. Pp's don't matter. You do ealize that anime and games works differently, right?

[@NOLJAK101]

I just wana say before I get to part 4, 1, this was quite an episode for you to spite how challenging it was, with using the same exact Pokémon ash used in this game you played! 2, your Torkoal deserves credit because it’s stronger than ash’s! & 3 I like that the battle frontier in this as well! It gives it the anime feel, minus the first battle with “Noland!!” But anyways, “GoodJob!.”😁👍

No kidding. I refuse to not use cheats on the old games after beating them so many times legitly as a kid.

Ok ok.... why does this man not have anymore subscribers he makes amazing content and he seems very dedicated to his work. Props to you

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

So... as soon as Ash goes up against two rocks, he suddenly decides to stop throwing his water and grass type at everything. Ok.

[@BigLu658]

That’s crazy! Lol. Good for you for doing all that. Gameplay wise, Emerald may be my favorite game in the series. Ash definitely had a less than spectacular team and time in the anime so you are pretty incredible for doing all that.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Can you please do series 2 of the card challenge sometime in the future? Johto with only pokemon cards from the Johto pokedex !

[@storymaster21]

why not take things a step further and do a video of whether he can beat them with the first pokemon he gets from a random booster pack?

[@pokemonchampion4826]

19:42 that's the reason I love Ash only using regional pokemons rather than old Pokemons.

[@federicomacias1946]

Legendary video again Bro. Greetings from Argentina Hope you can try save resetting before the battle vs Tucker and keep trying as I think you really wanted that completionist feeling but well it was sick!

[@zdelrod829]

Short answer: Yes Long answer: *explains what plot armor is and why Ash is always so OP*

[@emiliorojas9121]

The true BEHIND everthing is that pikachu always get a crítical hit.

[@analogcaptures2785]

Considering that in Pokemon Yellow the Pikachu you get as a starter holds a light ball when transferred to gen 2 and that game is based on the anime I think it's fair that you use light ball on Ash's Pikachu.

[@markolvera2965]

I like that he actually calculated the probably of hitting two back to back thunders

[@OrigenalDarkMew]

Not just two but f*cking seven

[@agirlinsearchof9057]

OriginalDarkMew It’s actually fairly simple! Multiply the chance of landing Thunder by itself however many times you want to find the probability of! But yeah, that is pretty cool that he did that!

16:04 I can see that there is a 1 in 256 glitch in Gen 3 Nice! 😎

[@rioranger5268]

What's funny is, during the tate and liza battle, if the solrock didn't have a sitrus berry, then t + l always use a hyper potion there, so the only way to win was to get the sitrus proc and crit the solrock

[@Pika_Drew]

I was never able to get any frontier badges so kudos to you for beating (almost) all of them with the odds stacked against you!

[@Sixthfred]

Pokemon Emerald was one of my first Pokemon games! Seeing you go through the battle frontier really gave me chills and made me remember the HOURS i put into battling the frontier brains. Really good job on this one!

hey man, just wanna thank you for those videos. i'm having a difficult time with coronavirus and this videos are mading my day. lots of support and hugs from Brasil :)

[@thecarptain]

Honestly I thought this one would be easier than most because Ash actually evolved most of his pokemon in Hoenn, but uuhhhhh. As it turns out, Ash just never used the pokemon that it makes sense to use, only Corphish

[@mjcahc]

i cannot wait for Sinnoh; it’s my favourite gen game, for the map and the Pokédex.
