I love the fact, that you leave the movepool and the current moveset on screen the whole time, that the viewers always have some kind of overlook about everything. Same for the stats :) Great job, man. Love your videos on sunday evening :)

[@Trolldamere]

Except for in this video where he left leech seed up the whole time he was using ancientpower, omegalul

[@thomaspalumbo109]

This is one of the main reasons I keep coming back to your channel. It’s something I always looked for with other and was so pleasantly surprised to find exactly that here. Please never change this! Oh and just love the way you go about the challenges in general. Love the content

[@Gingerwolfman]

(In regards to the middle stage question) I would think an interesting video would be like a race between each of the evolutions in an evolution line. I.E. pidgey vs. Pidgeotto vs. Pidgoet. To see just how much the increased stats help.

[@taiwanisacountry]

I think it would be really interesting with stone evolution. Because they do not get level up moves. And not give them TM/HM untill elite 4. This could be really interesting.

[@johnbaker4153]

The name still fits cause you give us your thoughts on the run both as a whole and during

[@LordRunty]

I always assumed when in Bellspout Tower, that it's the central pillar that's swaying. Suddenly it occurred to me that that central pillar is probably stationary, and the entire tower is probably making so many people motion sick. Also, fantastic video, looking forward to the new year!

[@hammothy]

I think an interesting idea fo deal with middle evolutions would to be a "Poliwag+" run for example you start with poliwag and play it naturally to end up with poliwrath so poliwhirl atleast gets some screentime and can be compared to a solo poliwag/poliwrath run

[@MrMitchbow]

Or just have a poliwag run, and play with poliwhirl at best until you find a water stone

[@dakotashroom5401]

Just what we can expect from a slowpoke, always deep in meditation. Your patience let's you come up with the best ideas!

[@ozx4]

I just found this channel and I can’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner! Seeing Pokémon that have somewhat been lost to time put in the spotlight again just makes me happy!

[@ThePatGaming]

Lucky you, you have hours worth of great videos to watch!

[@paradygmshift7826]

Welcome to the group my friend.

[@adrienneladd8375]

on midstage pokemon I think they would be more interesting in later gens when they sometimes have different movepools than their max evolutions

[@abderahmane_samirlazouni7630]

Glad to see you got the 20k, you deserve more. And God bless Shaun (I hope I'm not misspelling his name). I will speak my own opinion, but I think a lot of people share my opinion. I enjoy watching your playthroughs, not challenges, it doesn't have to be tiring or burning you out... When it's too tiring, it is sometimes painful to watch. You should do whatever videos you like, don't focus on satisfying people only, focus on doing things you enjoy, it's more viable on the long term.

[@wideright7567]

as always loved this! Little onion fairy learnset shows how little they anticipated it actually getting used being event only

[@andersonantunesdeleu8591]

That was very fun scott! Celebi is so so cute, like Mew!! Also the fact that answered out questions was very nice of you, thanks dude!! I wish you even more success and health, above all. I`ll be waiting for many more nice runs like these! you did great as usual!!!

[@jamiebridges8529]

This is such awesome and unique (for me) content! I love the detail you go into about move sets, and unique behaviour of each of the Gens / games. I just wish I had more time to watch it all!!

[@BigManTate7364]

Loving the advice on your creative process and just creating videos regardless of quality. Persistence is key. I didn't expect to find motivation like this from a pokemon video but I'm glad I found this. Thanks 🙏

[@notmyrealnameify]

Hello, Laurens here. Thanks for answering my question. As a psychologist I know how important this is. I can imagine that the pressure is increasing with your channel getting bigger and all. As long as you can maintain consistency by uploading 1 video almost every week that is prob enough to maintain a fast pace growth of your channel. But even with one video every other week your channel wil probably keep growing:). Don't worry to much about having to perform. Anyways I will keep supporting you, good luck with your channel and in life!

[@ashclaw2306]

Congratulation on the achievement! lets Celebirate this!

[@kewlkortez]

I'm happy for you man, CONGRATS ON 20K!!! I also watch a lot of jrose and Mah-Dry-Bread but i can see that your trying to be like them, you have your owe style and it's really good. i can tell how much effort you have put in the videos everytime you make a new one, like how you have opened up more and became more relaxed when giving commentary. i wish i could be like the other comment that give you advice but for now i will cheer you on as best i can. KEEP GOING AND KEEP DOING YOUR BEST!!!!

[@friedrichritter1978]

Congratulations, Scott. I just want to thank you for the amazing content you have been delivering consistently. Your videos come out on Mondays in my part of the world, so they really help me deal with my Monday blues. Keep up the great work!

[@tomlopatto3787]

Arbok vs weezing would be an interesting one. Also, Can’t wait for the starter video to come out! Been waiting on that one for months.

[@ShiningJudgment666]

I feel like Weezing would win it because it actually has a pretty solid movepool.

[@BigManTate7364]

Shouldn't Muk be part of this? It could be a 3 way race for the best Gen 1 poison type

[@RoflSayNoWords]

I hope that you can do runs, where you just let the Pokemon evolve naturally, when it levels up, or you get access to a stone. This would check the middle stage Pokemon as well and honestly I am not too keen on videos only about those. Keep up the good work!

[@moritzotto1841]

I think it is awesome to see how much your videos keep on improving. Love to watch these on a slow Sunday evening and the nostalgia hits very strongly lol

[@senzu34goat62]

Congratulations on 20k Scott you deserve it. I love your content (obviously that's why I'm here) and I'm really happy to see you grow, we will continue to support you the best you can!

[@dragiceryudo5745]

I really love Johto and I appreciate your coverage of Kanto Gyms even as overview. I know you said it's a lot more work, But I find the idea of Vs for trade evolutions interesting. How much better is Machamp than Machoke or the like.

[@deminybs]

I kinda like the idea of whoever suggested doing a run with the middle stage evolution Pokemon, I remember being like 10 years old (22 years ago.....) and drawing (trying to draw 🤣) my favorite Pokemon, and Wartortle was probably the one I worked on the most Keep up the awesome content, I bet having help is very nice 🙂 P.s. you better read this 😋

[@maguirebentz797]

Love you’re channel! You’re one of the best. I’ve been here since the beginning and it’s been fun to see you grow. I know there’s only great things to come!

[@ktbushway]

It might be interesting to do the middle evolutions vs the other evolutions in their line. Especially if you already are doing the other evolutions in the line. For example do a haunter video and compare to ghastly and Gangar. It might help with burn out too since you already have two of those run completed you can complete Haunter and just compare the results at the end.

[@dansplam8217]

Hey man, been following the channel for a long time, love the pokemon challenges. 20k is big but I hope you push for 50k next year! Can I suggest pokemon yellow versus with arcanine vs ninetales?

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

That one is planned ;)

[@cactusincolor]

When I first subscribed to this channel it had like 12k subscribers! That's crazy! You're growing so fast, and I hope you continue to grow quickly and enjoy the time you're spending on these videos! Part of the joy of watching this is knowing how much you genuinely enjoy what you do, so I hope you never lose that passion! Congratulations on 20k! May 30k come speedily!

[@JustSpencer36]

Congrats on 20k. Always love watching your videos, even if I just have them on in the background and hope that more people discover your content.

[@bateltheassistant]

I really like your content and your approach of applying these runs. You kind of define consistently and hard work,so always keep it up. 😊 By the way, i wonder if you could do an octillery solo run? Or doing a solo run with each of the gen 1's top tier pokemons? 😁

[@Squidgy]

Congratulations on 20k, Scott! Quick question: When you're grinding in the Johto games, do you use the Radio to icnrease the encounter rate, or do you find it's not worth it?

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

Don't you have to re-turn on the radio every time you have an encounter? Pretty sure that costs more time than the increased encounter rate saves.

[@mcpimpsalot]

Different kinds of content. Also, great to see Gen 1-2 content still being made in 2021. Thanks for what you do.

[@Acacius1992]

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Mad congrats on the 21k. That's huge! To be honest, I'm not surprised at all to see the rise in popularity. Your videos have such a unique and appealing combination of relatable monologues, solid production quality, and of course a familiar gameplay progression that is very easy for people to emotionally invest in. Also, I thought your Meowth video was hella cool. Cats are life, and thank you for reminding me to rewatch it :)

[@SIDEWAYS255]

I've been getting really into the process of making these kinds of videos myself and the script is where I was having the most issues. I was thinking of writing an outline while watching your video! So glad to hear you do that because I feel like this suits my style much more. It was what I felt most comfortable doing in my public speaking classes so it would male sense for me to do that here. Really glad you got that question and shared it with us.

Scott is so worthy of so many more subscribers than he has. He reminds me of a normal humble average person just living out there dream of making entertaining videos. Keep up the videos brotha also I enjoyed the polygon speed run race. I think you should do more of them with those people with different Pokémon.

[@mrdewarion]

Hey Scott, I've been watching you for a long time now. Originally you popped up when I exhausted all the Mah-dry-bread and Jrose videos and the algorithm was like 'so... how about this chap with like 900 subs? It's not much, but I guess it's content 🤷‍♂️' The first few videos were jarring at times, but it felt amazing to see you improving, growing and becoming more confident with yourself in real time. At this point, I don't even watch the others anymore but just you. Why? Because you feel the most authentic out of all of them. It brings back the nostalgic feeling of watching my brother or a friend play on Gameboy during recess. It's literally comfort content. I'm a 30 year old hotel manager now in a grown up world with grown up problems - but your videos bring me back and bring me joy. Thanks man. I'll be coming back.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Hey Florian, I actually started making these videos when I was in a similar position wit Mah-dry-bread and Jrose videos. I ran out of content and was just like, "well, I guess I could try making one!" I wanted to learn video editing anywyas. I'm glad my videos feel really authentic, that's a big priority for me.

[@thebigbean8783]

Congrats on 20k (now 23k)! I can't believe how fast your channel is growing. You certainly deserve it. Watching all your videos has been a treat and I would love for you to keep growing and growing! On a side note I'm glad you did what jrose did but better and gen 2 so you really carved out a nice niche that I like. And you post consistently! Can't beat it. If you beat a solo with something that has a middle evolution it should get immediately counted as done. I also think you should be able to evolve it at like the 4th gym or something

[@ThePiep]

Congrats on the 20k! I'm always excited when a new video of yours is released. I'm sure I stated similar at other opportunities, but to me matters less which Pokemon you use or how fancy the premise of the challenge is. First and foremost I enjoy your commentary on the run. Which is, of course, a major part of your work on these videos. I'm happy that you found the help you needed to continue your videos as they are. But should there be a time where you have to take a break I feel confident to speak for many of your viewers that we will support you in any decision you make. You built an amazing community and I am proud to be part of it. Now something about the run itself: I think, besides the Snorlax stalling you out of spite, I think you could have gotten that minute you needed by having a mote diverse moveset before the league. As always, it was a great video! PS: Regarding those imperfect videos... You forgot to update the current moveset on the side going into the first Elite 4
