[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

Exploders are a double-edge sword, since trading pokemon 1-for-1 is the same thing as asserting that you can win a battle 2 on 2 or 1 on 1 against pokemon that typically have much better stats and moves. They (and Haunter) are fantastic for killing the scariest pokemon that your opponent has, but going willy nilly with the booms can often put someone unprepared into an unwinnable spot, especially in R2. They are fantastic pokemon with game knowledge, and good pokemon if you use them to surgically; also want to add that all of this does not really apply to Graveler, since it is good enough to kill pokemon straight up with Earthquake in addition to being a great exploder.

[@Weewoo12]

@@bigtimetimmyjim6486not a bad idea to put one on a team of 6, since you only pick 3 per battle. You can use an exploder situationally

Been playing Rentals Stadium for ages and have gotten close to beating it dozens of times. (The saves on my 100% legit Nintendo approved portable N64 keep getting lost before I can complete Round 2.) Here's a couple other Pokemon reccomendations that weren't mentioned that have some merit. -Starmie is a Waterfall bot that isnt very good, but it can be useful sometimes thanks to its high speed that other Water-types don't have. It can also check other Waters if you decide to use Zap Canon and go for broke. -Girafarig isn't very strong but they did make the mistake of giving it Baton Pass and Agility. It makes a very good teammate with the likes of Hitmonlee to guarantee going first or with Magneton. -Raichu can be a good situational replacement for Magneton in battles where the fast Thunder Wave is more consistent than Magneton's. (And trust me, it can be.) The ability to tank hits drops off a cliff and dies in Round 2, so Magneton actually isn't as obviously superior to Raichu as it seems in Round 1. -Dragonair is one that I actually cannot believe you did not recommend. This thing is a really solid support Pokemon. It carried great resistances thanks to being a Dragon-type, has Thunder Wave and Headbutt for para-flinching, and if memory serves me right it has Fire Blast which can come in clutch for Yolo damage and Burn procs. It's great and has a lot of all-purpose utility. -Electabuzz is the desperstion choice if you're tired of Thunder missing. Thunderpunch is still OK damage, it's fast, and it can support with Light Screen. Other than those picks, I can't say with good faith there are any other super secret good picks in the horizon. The video doesn't go into Round 2, but trust me. It *is* beatable with Rentals. It isnt something I consider fun, but it is still entirely possible.

Don't hesitate calling Voltorb good. I just completed the Stadium 2 complete game WR and I safely put Voltorb in my Top 3 rental pokemon in the entire game. AFAIK, Werster says it is his actual top pokemon in the game, as well. You said it yourself, pokemon is a numbers game, and a pokemon that can usually kill 1.5 of your opponent's team (1 with MC, usually cripples another with self-destruct) is nothing to scoff at. A 136 speed Thunder is also surprisingly useful, and its Rain Dance is great anti-cheese against Double Team users. Good video though! I was afraid when I saw Dewgong (I think he is massively overrated) but your synopsis of him is fair, he can serve a variety of roles in R1, even if other water types do something/several things a lot better (Starmie, Seadra, Vaporeon, Slowbro).

What a Convenient video. Now, the question in my mind is: "How Game Freak is going to squeaze our money in other to let we use our own pokémon in those releases?"

[@Joker22593]

They won't, because the EV system is so different that it's not possible to cleanly translate contemporary Pokemon back to that era. At best, game freak would code it to where our Pokemon had maximum EVs in all stats. Realistically, they'd program the temporary transfers to have no EVs at all. Plus, there's the moveset issue. Tons of moves aren't allowed backwards and some old moves were removed from recent games. At best, gamefreak might give us random moves instead. At worse, we'd have to destroy our Pokemon's movesets to use them. Pokemon with partially random moves and realistically no stat experience is just rentals at that point.

[@ImportedCheese]

Perhaps that's the hidden treasure of Area Zero!

[@lucasgreer1736]

​@@Joker22593 evs and stat experience can be mapped 1:1 due to the fact that they do the same thing just at a different scale (stat experience can't be mapped back as cleanly because there's no stat exp max but you can't gain stat exp in stadium 2) and ivs can be literally just divided by 2 to get dvs also they could literally just ban moves that don't exist in current gens and bdsp I think contains everything that was in gen 2 so there's at least one modern game that could transfer back cleanly

Try it on the official switch release

[@AniGaAG]

I think it's meant to be a pile o' swine. Y'know, since it's kind of shaped like a... pile, I guess. x)

[@ImportedCheese]

more research is required

[@_Opera_Ghost_]

Oh you played Bright Sandstorm during the Tyranitar section, I get it And not that this is even close to the actual likely meaning, but the running joke between my brother and I is that "Piloswine" is just "Pile of swine"

[@ImportedCheese]

Ttar even has sandstorm!! ...Imagine spending a turn to sandstorm with Ttar

[@shimogane2474]

hearing the words "The ai is very smart (and switches immediately out if wobbuffet uses Destiny Bond)" + "Pokemon" is kind of a miracle tbh. This game is 20 years old btw

[@ImportedCheese]

Modern AI must be even better!

[@boyscout244]

Idk if yhe slugma, macargo and skarmory being in gen 3 is a bit or not but theyre 100% gen 2 pokemon

[@ImportedCheese]

Sure, pal. If they're in Gen 2, then how come I've never seen them before?!

[@jamesjohnston9471]

Gengar is actually pretty good in my experience in pokemon stadium 2, I've had very good results with it. Not the MOST reliable but hypnosis+ dream eater is VERY solid.

[@ImportedCheese]

It's good!! Haunter is just better

[@censoredterminalautism4073]

I'll do round 2. There is no "I" in "give up".

[@ImportedCheese]

true, it's not a capital "I"

[@dragonknight1560]

3:07 This scene made me way too depressed that I was forced to subscribed. Congrats Imported Cheese, you got me.

[@ImportedCheese]

Once you're ready to face the final boss of pokemon, come find me within the moon...

[@dragonknight1560]

@@ImportedCheese It's always the moon! It can't be the sun or Pluto. Cool. I'll be there.

[@canaldecasta]

It is to either rubb or give up. Stadium 3?!

[@ImportedCheese]

I choose...

[@klhx]

that X-atu joke is hilarious bc when pokemon still had tazos, i used to pronounce it like that. feeling called out lmao

[@ImportedCheese]

what is tazos?!

[@klhx]

@@ImportedCheese there is absolutely NO WAY you don't know about pokemon tazos?? they were these collectible plastic discs found as prizes in chip packets in South Africa. it was during the pokemania of the early 2000s and they were literally everywhere. the little tazos would have art of all the different pokemon, including their name and pokedex number. they had holographic ones too that would evolve from base form to second stage by tilting the tazo. in retrospect i should have kept them from childhood, but i was literally the only pokemon nerd for MILES when i was younger, i never knew about sentimental/re-sale value lmao

[@redpepsi1637]

Piloswine: a pile of swine? It does look like a pile of... something

[@ImportedCheese]

Certainly not a pile of stats

[@redpepsi1637]

at least Mamoswine is good! Oh this thing doesn't evolve?

[@liarluis]

Saw the intro. Instant follow 😂

[@ImportedCheese]

My FRIENDS are my POWER

[@elijahmuhammad9310]

[@ImportedCheese]

Thank you! I PLANNED it for COHESION with gen 1!

[@jeremyrossi2716]

[@ImportedCheese]
