Celebi Only - Pokemon Yellow - Celebration for 60k subs & 3 year channel anniversary!

[@pingpongmaestros]

Honestly. With the quality of your videos it's completly insane that you only have 60k followers. Hope you grow fast because it is well deserved

[@Naxhus2]

Quality and popularity are only loosely correlated unfortunately. I think that longevity is more important for a large following and there's only one way to get that.

[@michaelklos8089]

The subscribers grow exponentially as long as the content is good. The growth is solid so he's doing well and accelerating at a good pace. I remember when 10k was a massive milestone for Scott. He could hit 100k by the end of the year just because of how subscriber count increases on KZbin.

[@Martin0]

He has an editor do all the work

[@michaelklos8089]

@@Martin0 only the editing. There's a lot more to do than editing: scripting, programming, optimisation, planning, recording and just overall direction of the channel. The overlay is his, the structure of the videos, releases etc are, the methodical approach and analysis are his. Not sure if you meant he didn't put work into the video or that the production quality isn't his work but yea, everything else Scott does contributes to the editing process as well, even if he doesn't do that part personally anymore.

[@Naxhus2]

@@Martin0 "All the work" is a bit of a stretch

[@AllonBachuth]

Congrats on 60k! I'd like to nominate SUDOWOODO again, because gen 1 has no pure rock-type unburdened by double weaknesses, and relying on Mimic from the start would be a very different playthrough from everything else... except for the inevitable Smeargle race one, I guess :D

[@poltergeyst5898]

Congrats on 60k! When you say "I am the one who crits" against Giovanni's rhydon, it conjures Walter White's "I am the who knocks" speech. I think that may have been intentional. Well done, as always. The content is exceptional.

[@MrMagz924]

Tyranitar would be cool to do a port-back for. You could even redo the Tyranitar vs Dragonite but in Yellow this time.

[@TheBloodyloon]

That might be really hard to code, dark doesn't exist in Gen 1.

[@Magmatic07]

​@@TheBloodyloonThen maybe it can be pure rock, or Rock/Ground like it's Pre evos. If Gamefreak made Ttar in gen 1 it probably would be rock/ground.

[@InfernosReaper]

@@TheBloodyloon I think another youtuber pulled off dark type in gen 1. there have been rom hacks in the past that have done it as well. all in all, not too crazy

[@ScottE-2]

Congrats on 60K subscribers, it has been a long journey, but you are almost at 100K, just 40K more to go. Looking forward to the premier.

[@kayoh9364]

Imagine youre blue. Your grandfather gets you an Eevee for your 10th birthday. It's a solid pokemon, pretty rare, gives you an interesting choice for where to take your career. Youre pretty happy. And then he gives your old childhood friend a time god.

[@mattrobertsjr.3279]

Congratulations on 60 K! I can still remember watching your very first video. Was thinking that you were gonna go far. Glad you made it there!

[@zenitfan4life]

Congratulations on the new milestone, Scott! As some others have mentioned, it's kind of insane that you have "only" 60k, your channel content is worth so much more! Perhaps might be worth investing into a consulting company to see if there's something you can do to get the YT algorithm to like you more?

[@theSato]

Big congrats and well deserved! You're one of the most committed-to-your-cragt guys I know Scott. Major love and respect

[@Fallenhero4567]

Thanks Scott! I think you should back port all starters for these types of videos.

[@thinking_about_beer]

Thanks! Love the OG lists and miss your uploads!

[@sashasscribbles]

Thank you so much for these videos, they truely make me and so many others happy. Congrats on 60k

[@wideright7567]

great video. I’m a little surprised (only a little) at just how unseatable Victreebel looks at this point. congrats on 60k again, cannot wait to see that big 75k coming up. you’ve earned it all

[@shiro1744]

Mewtwo may be the only chance. Mew, Dragonite, and Alakazam have big Brock problems, Starmie may get (ironically) blocked around Cerulean/Vermillion, and Lapras and the Bird trio have a bad growth rate. Maaaaaybe Hypno or Poliwhirl/Poliwrath could do it.

[@tsawy6]

​@@shiro1744 I think the slow growth rate is a real problem for Mewtwo, but I guess we'll see ...

[@shiro1744]

@@tsawy6It has the worst growth rate, but it starts with both Confusion and Psychic to blast through the early & mid game, and it has the stats and movepool to beat the game in the low-mid 50s. The bad growth rate won’t hinder it as much as other Pokémon that need to be 60+.

Best of luck brotha!

[@PureStealth]

I love the method you've developed for back-porting pokemon, it's really faithful to the spirit of the original design

[@fsanmiguel666]

Pokemon Yellow, with Shuckle! You know you want to, Scott!

[@apollobro91]

Congrats on 60K! What a journey you have had with your Pokemon challenges! These Gen 2 pokemon in Pokemon Yellow are interesting.. I enjoyed seeing that 4D chess move of badge-boosting via Lance's Gyarados using Leer in your first run, hehe. Edit: I think a Marill run in Yellow would be the sauce, especially with a nickname like Pikablu!

[@Aaron.Seabolt]

I've been following you since the 1100 subscriber count. Watching your channel evolve and your play style adapt over time has been rewarding in itself. Much love Scott.

[@ajs.7363]

Scott!! It has been a fantastic 3 years watching you. Love the videos, love the work you do and your techniques. Keep up the great work my friend, excited to keep watching.

[@ChaosWindScar99]

First and foremost 60K subscribers is no joke and you definitely deserve it. Also happy channel anniversary. Your challenge runs are my favorite to watch just given how polished they are. Also I like how dominant Celebi seemed but given its psychic typing, I guess I should have expected it. You asked about any Pokémon we would like to see back ported, in my opinion I have 3 top contenders Tyrannitar, Espeon, and Skarmory. The Espeon is an homage to Red's Espeon in Gen 2 but as for T-tar and Skarmory I would like to see how you handle Pokémon who have a type that isn't in Gen 1 I think it could be interesting.

[@lonewolfe5960]

Well Scott I can't say for certain when I started watching your videos, but I do know that your first video on your channel was the first video on your channel that I watched and it's hard to believe it's been 3 years already. congratulations!

[@drachenklaue07]

Hey Scott ❤ Congratulations, you deserve this! The amount of effort you give is visible in every second of your channel! Thank you.

[@lordmon555]

Been here for for awhile and I had no idea you still only have 60k subs keep it up man you're easily my favorite "poke-runner"

[@gaz9411]

Can't believe how long it's been. I remembered I asked you to do a Meowth run. Just looked it up and you published it 2 and a half years ago! Still here, watching all your videos. Thanks for all the entertainment! :)

[@christiecat5367]

Congratulations on your channel's success!

[@siggil9697]

I find it interesting how well mew and celebi fit to the region thet got introduced to. The nature pixie time travel spirit fits the more traditional more close to nature Johto region perfectly. Just as the fetus cat DNA thing fits the Kanto region with all the science stuff around. I really realized this while warching the video. Also congrats for the 60k very well deserved.

[@Spudmay]

I wasn't sure about the backports initially, but I'd honestly like to see you mess with various things, move pools, etc. Congrats on 60k subs!!

[@xfluffytraxy4996]

Congratulations to 60k. Really glad i found your Channel, aber your content, and the journey. Keep up the good work, Both in Videos and your community.

How exciting. I've already got sentimental more than once about 60k. I just love you, your channel, and your content. Ever since I found your video all those years ago, they've been my favorite thing on this site offers. Now. Instead of rambling, I'm just gonna say I think celebi is gonna do great!! It'll be looking around the 47-50 minute mark at most, I'd imagine.

Oh wow, it was 3 years. Still remember your first butterfree video, its been a blast. And venomoth is definitely a psychic type, its purple after all!

[@Judgementday3010]

I can't believe I've been watching your videos for almost 3 years! I remember seeing one of your videos after watching a jrose11 video with Mew. I saw your video with Butterfree solo and loved it! Have been watching every video since. So close to 100k! Keep up the great videos and remember to keep having fun with what you're doing.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Soldaraku]

Personally, I would like to see either Steelix or Scizor backported. It will be interesting to see how those evolutions do when they don't have the crutch of having the best type in the game to fall back on. Plus they could be compared directly to their Gen 1 Pre-evolutions, Onix and Scyther.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Yeah steel and dark types in gen1 would be fun!

[@TelestialGaming]

I would LOVE to see you play through the romhack Pokémon Crystal Clear. Also congrats on another milestone. You’ve put in so much work and grown so much, it’s really inspirational :)

[@TheMoogleKing93]

You've been at this for more days than there are Pokemon!

[@anxiouspatsfan4050]

I'm amazed you are just at 60k my friend. So you do so much more than the "main stream" pokefolks. From ideas to patching you should have a couple play buttons under your belt. Keep being yourself and growing. Also I don't know if you have done this VS vid but Kingler vs Tentacrul one is special one is physical both are 2 stage mons and you could do a gen 1-8 playthrough comparison for each generation. 4 would be the peak of the arc because it gives a special physical split on them. I'm just a subscriber on here but I love the way your brain works on the early gens. Keep up the great work. Yours truly a Pokemon nerd ❤

[@Superius777]

Congrats on 60k and I'm looking forward to seeing this rare pokemon take on Gen 1. It's pretty much never talked about despite having its own movie.

[@shimauta619]

Great video Scott. Celebi did amazing. Congrats on 60k subs and three years of Poketube-ing.

[@Lockirby2]

As a Final Fantasy player, I can very much say that Reflect sounds like it should defend against Special moves. I vote to backport Zacian. I think that would just be amusing somehow. I guess it would be Normal type? Congrats on 60K!

[@tehy123]

Nice job on 60K but let's move on to what really matters: advice on the run! Uh, yeah, I think Swords Dance was an underexplored option here, at minimum right before the Champion it would be a solid option over Mega Drain so Earthquake can run through his team (or a badge boosted psychic for Cloyster). But very solid overall and congrats again

[@juanchirino4900]

Congrats on 60k subs man. Cheers to many more. IMHO you already surpassed the likes of mahdrybread and jrose11 as the best Poketuber.

[@lamiaprincess6371]

Congrats on the 60k subscribers! Your content is so incredibly good that its definitely deserved. For Pokemon to port back: Piloswine, since Piloswine getting both Earthquake and Amnesia makes it really interesting; Meganium since I think it is likely to just be better than Venusaur in Generation I; Shuckle because I think it having a massive Special stat and basically no Special moves is pretty funny, and for the dark horse pick For a Pokemon you haven't used yet but would be incredibly fun to release its limiters on: Slaking. (Also did you experiment with copying Slash in the Champion fight? It gives you better game against the Exeggutor and the Magneton isn't scary anyway, so I think it's making a trade for a guaranteed OHKO on the Alakazam versus the Flareon. I can definitely see Earthquake just being more consistent overall tbh I just figured I'd ask about it.)

[@TJF588]

"who is the trickiest trainer in the previous playthrough" Something about that rolled really nicely~

[@Promatim]

"Next is the hiker" delivered so straight made me cackle. Good run! Gen 1 always needed more ghost types. Maybe Chandelure for a future downshift? Seems like it would crush gen 1!

[@dragonslayerz2220]

Medium Slow, 145 special, starts with Fire Stab and Smog (I guess), learns Psychic, and is fast enough for Gen 1 speed to not be bad. Yeah, that's S-tier. Even Misty can't stop it.

[@KyuZan97]

Congrats Scott, you deserve more 💪🏼

[@Pheanir]

Congratz on the 60k, they're well deserved! =) Tbh, I would love to see a Blissey playthrough as a back port option for yellow version; it would additionally offer a comparison between it and its prevolution Chansey, which I think could be interesting.

[@Austin007]

Congratulations on 60k Scott! Also wow, what an excellent performance from Celebi!

[@erik19borgnia]

Congratulations on 60k Scott!!!!

[@erik19borgnia]

Also, for a future portback run: a Gen 2 Magnemite/ton (Steel type) or Scizor. That also needs to "port" the steel type, which I think is quite doable and not THAT hard.

[@Skipatronic]

Congratulations on 60k! It's been great seeing how the content evolved the past few years

[@handanyldzhan9232]

2:48 Ancient Power implies unleashing some sort of primeval "lost potential". Tangela and Yanma evolve while knowing it because they weren't known to evolve before (more like they always did, but it was forgotten/buried deep within their genetics, essence or something). It was only a rock move because it was likely somehow imprinted on fossils. Rock Throw is way too mundane to replace it. And with these stats and being a Psychic type, Celebi doesn't need rock coverage anyway. 3:37 Celebi learning Baton Pass makes a lot of sense just like Ancient Power considering its time powers. It preserves the stat stages accumulated by a mon and passes to something else of your choice. Whirlwind merely blows off the opponent and you have no choice over the replacement.

[@RezeedTheDataspirit]

Happy Pokemon Crystal anniversary. What perfect way to coincide with the anniversary of your channel and have all those "sandwiches".

[@DJ-se5pl]

Just wanted to point out something I saw in a firered speed run that might apply. In Giovanni's gym the trainer at top that blocks you, they rather go up and talk to him from the right side using the spinner tiles. And thus they don't have to reset the room

[@davidwhiteside92]

New to your channel! Love this format, and your overlay is fantastic! Does it automatically calculate the stat changes???

[@hikarimemeirooficial]

Celebi certainly would have either absorb or Vine whip as a starting move.

[@davidgardner6677]

Couldn't believe psychic/grass Celebi didn't beat VBell but no sleep moves + no boosting moves really kept it out of first place.

[@KigerrVariety]

2:50 I feel game freak definitely understood there wasn't enough rock moves and generation 1 which is why they gave magnitude in fire Red /leaf Green

[@danielbotman5341]

Minimum battles challenges have been completed with various pokemon. A more creative challenge is minimum level (minimum battles without rare candy). Mewtwo's slow growth rate is an advantage in a minimum level challenge: it can finish at a lower level than an evolved pokemon.

[@austinmaiden4663]

Bro it blows my mind you only have 60k subs. I've been subbed for like 2 years already and never realized. I just assumed you had around 250-500k

[@nlb137]

Your not constantly striving for minimum battles is why I like your challenges. When certain other youtubers try to minimum battles every run, they constantly get stuck bashing their head against the wall on the same tough fights every run; it's hard to see the difference between a good run and a bad run when it's "did I reset 10 times vs. Blaine or did I reset 20 times and have to leave to level up", rather than "did I sweep it or did I reset 1-3 times"

[@LadyShrimp44]

Yay, so happy for you!

[@ChrisNelson93]

Congrats on 60k well deserved! Also looking forward to this one!

[@zenitfan4life]

For your next port of recommend something likely Whooper or Chinchou, basically a typing combo that didn't exist in Gen 1. I think it would create some interesting interactions.
