Doing a playthrough with "bad" pokemon is one of the best ways to enjoy the games. It feels like every major battle is won in the trenches. The creativity and strategy-building are rewarding. After all, Karen said, "Win with your favorites" 💪🔥✨️

[@shoopwoop3470]

I bet, yeah someone told me to do a six slugma run on another video. I think what would make a good video, is like onee pokemon per run. so, like a video (probably an hour or so) where I beat each mainline game with a team of the actual worst pokemon - so like 6 magikarps, 6 Unown, 6 Slugmas (I know it's not gen 3) 6 Male Combees etc, I think if the entire mainline was in one video it would do well, but otherwise, I think the concept has been done

Platinum was the first game I caught a shiny as well. It was a shiny bronzor. I had no idea what shinies even were at the time. I saw it and my 9-year-old brain was like, "Ew, why he look like throw up" and so I nicknamed him vomit. I didn't learn he was shiny until months later when I showed my cousins at a family reunion and they were all like "WTF, how did you find one already!" 😂

Cyrus apparently was the victim of familial neglect and also got separated from the Rotom that was his best friend, so he devoted himself to machines in order to feel close to something.

Played the BDSP games with a similar team and can confirm the high of winning that way is phenomenal. Lumineon getting tailwind to enable Skuntank to outspeed and flinch with the stench ability? Or pachirisu nuzzle enabling wormadam to set up quiver dances with a lucky paralysis? Beating Cynthia with these strats was one of my all time favorite pokemon journeys.

I actually did use Carnivine on my first playthrough of Diamond, along with Skuntank. My weirdest choice for a first playthrough still goes to Sun, however, where I used a Parasect purely because it was shiny. I also used a shiny Palossand in my first run of Scarlet. You remember the real ones.

Love seeing this as i love using more unconventional teams that arent necessarily bad but are comprised of mons you dont see that often. Im sick of seeing the standard starter/staraptor/luxray/floatzel/garchomp/lucario team lol. Gimme PorygonZ, Rampardos, Octillery, Medicham (which btw are all insanely fun to use, def recommend), just whatever random mon that at least doesnt have Kricketune level garbage stats and movepool lol. I replay Platinum a lot, always ditch the starter, and the game has a great variety of pokemon that allows for a fun unique team for many, MANY playthroughs. Cant say the same for HGSS; i struggled making a team for my bloody second playthrough that i liked! Edit: i think of the team you used, i only wouldnt use Pachirisu and male Combee. I dislike Pachirisu as a pokemon and Combee is just too garbage man, props for sticking with it lmao. Would use Purugly but its not available normally, have used Chatot and Carnivine, and plan on using Lumineon for either my next playthrough or the one after.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Oh yeah, Lumineon is definitely worth the grab, such a solid mon but I completely agree. I love the odd mons, there's a few that I wish I could have on the team as auxiliary mons, but that makes the video a little too bulky

I used a Lumineon once when I was a kid in Pokémon Battle Revolution. I didn’t know how to bring mons from DPP so I just used rental teams and in one of the stadiums you could trade mons with the opponents permanently. I had never seen Lumineon before so I traded it and beat the game with it. I didn’t get to the super bosses of course but the regular game was very fun and I kind of have a soft spot for it in spite of never really seeing outside of being the forgotten Pokémon.

Nice team! I always use a Luminneon and Patsurishu on my play through^^

[@shoopwoop3470]

They're definitely awesome! I liked learning how to use em

[@AlyxVal]

Ben Askren got the fastest knockout in Pokemon history

[@shoopwoop3470]

That's the world champ for ya

[@MercenaryPen]

there's one clear odd pokémon out here, in that Pachirisu has a VGC world championship to its name

[@shoopwoop3470]

Yeahhh I needed to do more research for the vid, but I do think that even with that the other electric from this gen are more popular

[@austinsager912]

Fun script and great video! Keep going

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hey thanks for the supporrt homie!

[@Breaks4days]

Commenting for engagement, amazing video😎

[@shoopwoop3470]

Awesome thanks for the support!!

[@chrisk5512]

Such a fun idea!! I always forget I love Finneon!!!

[@shoopwoop3470]

It's just a little inconvenient to remember where it is, but past that it's an awesome mon

[@dadm5536]

Carnivine is unironically my favorite pokemon and I'm so glad he made it in here

[@shoopwoop3470]

absolutely, I almost didn't include him because James has one in the anime, but I figured that he isn't as iconic as victreebell in that regard so I felt like it was a safe choice

[@dadm5536]

@shoopwoop3470 I would say he's underrated but he really isn't lmao, great video overall!

[@a-s-greig]

Grass-type Levitate is swag.

[@archonofcommorragh1221]

Pokemon Platinum is my favourite one. I hope you do more videos about newer pokemon games too.

[@shoopwoop3470]

I've got a few in the works, but I'm working on this stupidly long project right now, so it might be another week or so before I can drop another video

[@OkamiRissi]

this reminded me so badly of the times I replayed Pokemon diamond with new teams each time I still very vividly remember a run I only used blue pokemon on mixing up the pokemon to use always makes it a good time

[@shoopwoop3470]

Oh for sure, it's just a fun way to play, it makes me think of the times that I would imagine myself in the anime, and what Pokemon I might catch

[@VoltzyVoltz]

Carnivine is actually my favourite grass type from gen 4. Even tho he’s really weak, i have a soft spot for his design and i hope he can get some more recognition someday

[@shoopwoop3470]

Yea, I hope he gets a mega or something, if Tangela can get one, so should carnivins

[@MangaBear]

Carnivorous plants need a bug eater abilities to make bug do not very effective dmg to them imho

[@batofdestiny]

When I bought White 2 when it first came out over a decade ago, I used a Maractus since I thought it was such a cute design. Turns out, it was actually very powerful for a Grass type.

[@shoopwoop3470]

I'm saaayin - I actually have never beaten B&W2, I've played through all the main stuff, but never the postgame

[@black-velvet98]

I remember that fish, even if I may not remember the name because it was the last one I needed to complete my Pokédex back in the day 😂

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hahaha, yea and it's not in an easily memorable place when you first get access to it

[@lukas2.036]

I always liked Lumineon, it's a lame that Pokémon was so forgotten

[@shoopwoop3470]

Had the same problem with Seaking, it's like just a fish, but it's so so cool though lol

[@milesrodger3724]

This has mad potential dude

[@shoopwoop3470]

Thanks homie!! I sure hope so, current vids taking a while, but it's a little bit different in concept

[@stmddo1994]

I just realized that "Goku" Infernape and "Vegeta" Luxray are the aces (sub-aces in Platinum) of Flint and Volkner, two major trainers that were rivals. I dunno if that was intentional on Game Freak or your end, but that's still pretty cool.

[@shoopwoop3470]

It was semi-intentional on my end, but that's if it was intentional on GameFreak's end then they are deeper thinkers than I have given them credit for

[@katowae]

this is so funny to me bc my first ever play through of Diamond i used a chatot pachirisu and combee (albeit it became a vespiquen)

[@shoopwoop3470]

lol, there used to be a rumor that if you beat the e4 with male combee that he'd turn it into vespiking

[@owenphillips5623]

I did one playthrough using Lumineon just on a whim and I fear it’s become a staple on my sinnoh teams now

[@shoopwoop3470]

It's just too good to pass up if you don't get swampert honestly

[@xgottsegenx1564]

Mystery Men reference in the year 2024. Let's go!

[@shoopwoop3470]

I do what I can! loll

[@coloureve9433]

Great video, hope you keep it up. Probably isnt the content for me though, was looking for playthroughs to watch whilst being on another tab and your content seams to rely a lot on visuals, especially when you literally mentioned the part about not saying whats on the screen and to use our eyes. Sort of skipped off to another video when the music started. Anyway, came back to leave a comment for the algorithm and all that, and to mention that your story you went into about your own time playing platimum was fun, same with your sense of humour.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hmm okay, yea I get that, but are you saying more like play by play style or what?

[@coloureve9433]

@@shoopwoop3470 Play to play style, yeah, I think that would be a better way to describe it. Something that doesn't need me to be tabbing back into to be kept up with what's actually happening. Despite not being on the screen, I'm able to actually follow along with everything.

[@shoopwoop3470]

@@coloureve9433 def worth considering, idk it's hard just cause I know most have played against the e4 in most of these things and it feels repetitive to say, But then I beat it with this idk it's something to work on for sure

[@coloureve9433]

@@shoopwoop3470 Shouldn't need to. Just keep pumping out the content that comes naturally to you. It's fine not catering to everyone. There are others they can jump to for that, what matters most is creating content that you actually enjoy making. Otherwise it can be very easy to just burn out.

[@HisSpaceCowboy]

That’s funny , I used all these pokemon in my main teams LMAO

[@shoopwoop3470]

Have you really?? a Male combee in a main team is wiiild, but power to ya

[@bloemkoolendestreetgang450]

Male combee is a step too far man

[@CM_684]

Great idea for a run, not original but inspired me to attempt a few for myself as I've been on a replay of the entire series using mons I've used less than others, combine that with this and it's a fresh experience.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hey fair enough I'll take it!! Lol

[@Iamnuketastic]

I wouldn’t call Glameow and Purugly less popular than Skitty and Delcatty, because Purugly is known as a beast, and Delcatty is known as a joke.

[@shoopwoop3470]

I didn't pick skitty mostly because may used it in the anime lol

[@ImTheGibby]

This definitely is a team of all time

[@shoopwoop3470]

yea from one of THE games of all time

[@Pokeplan]

The Glameow makes me very happy. I'm doing a Randomizer Nuzlocke, and one of my MVPs is Purugly

[@shoopwoop3470]

Purugly is a G, really came in clutch for me, it's speed is just incredible

[@Pokeplan]

@@shoopwoop3470 i think it's so funny that like not even a day after i wrote this comment purugly died on me

[@vamp97]

This is the correct way to play, tierlist be damned.

[@shoopwoop3470]

exaactly just like Karen says, play with the ones you like

[@7sonicmario]

That awkward moment you realized your pokemon team was used.

[@shoopwoop3470]

By who?? Surely you didn't have a male combee??? did you?!?!

[@theJACKHAMMER13]

On my first playthrough, I used Carnivine and Chatot for my Elite Four run. On my first run with Torterra (second overall), I used Mantine... as a special watermon with Water Absorb. Ended up switching it out for Bibarel after making it to the Elite Four.

[@shoopwoop3470]

I don't think I've every actually used Mantine on a playthrough, might have to give it a go

[@theJACKHAMMER13]

@shoopwoop3470 With actual Pokémon strategy it's... fine. Like a less effective Skarmory that is weak to really common types like Rock and Electric. But it's not unusable.

[@tsholts5173]

As someone who's used Bastiodon before, I feel ya. That thing took forever to train up. I did actually use Biberal one time recently not as an hm slave, and it was a ton of fun. It put in work early and late in the game, but slows down a lot during the ghost, water, and fighting gyms

[@shoopwoop3470]

Ooff yea ghost water and fighting would be wiiild, but late game you also have to worry about electric no? Unless it learns some good ground stuff

[@tsholts5173]

@@shoopwoop3470 Well besides that, it held its own better than I thought it would. Water type for Byron, and teach it Iron Tail for Candice if needed. And then pretty much use it as you did with Lumineon in the E4
