Pick These Pokemon Stadium Rentals!

[@censoredterminalautism4073]

Werster's "How To Beat Pokemon Stadium Using Only Rentals!" serves as some good supplementary material to this. It's a quick guide on how to beat the game quickly. It will only take 30 something hours initially, if you go fast. And if you want to speedrun it, you can't stop to sleep or take care of other biological needs. Not a big deal, though, just abandon your mortality and ascend to godhood. No big deal.

After beating the game with just rental mons. Watching vids like these are so satisfying. Btw, the Parasect rental is surprisingly useful in Gym Leader Castle! You can abuse slow spores to get free turns of Growth and restore HP with powered up Mega Drains. Making it some type of mini-wall. It even has Dig to hit mons with weaker defenses! It’s a bit of a high skill gap though but the payoff is worth it. Although you have to adjust to a bit of a slow playstyle. Eitherway it works when the matchups are just right.

43:43 TRUE THE MOST OVERRATED POKEMON EVER. OMG eevee is so cool, cant wait to evolve, thereby tossing away its entire gimmic to get a mediocore version of "eevee but x type!" that for the most part only learns stab+normal moves. People sit here and whine that Charizard gets too much, and im a Venusaur guy so I dont go defending Charizard too often, but Charizard does not get the non-stop pandering eevee does. Every gen Eevee gets the spotlight (1-intro only branch evo, 2- two new evolutions and I believe the only time based evo, 3- starter in XD and evos Espeon and Umbreon in Colosseum, 4- 2 new evos, 5- first distributed hidden ability via a unique quiz on the pokemon website to determine what eeveelution you are, 6- New evo of the new type with a unique evo mechanic, 7- a unique Z-move for it and its evolutions, 8- Gigatanimax form, 9- First tera event).

[@ImportedCheese]

Clearly Charizard is the one who should have 7 evos!!

[@ThePurplePeppy]

@ImportedCheese It would unironically be cooler and better if Charizard did it instead because elemental dragons would be far more interesting than the eevee but x type designs and concepts we've gotten.

[@jeremyrossi2716]

While I do admit half of Eevee’s evolutions suck REALLY bad: Flareon notoriously has no moves, Leafeon is a grass type and grass is ass, and Glaceon and Umbreon are way too slow to take advantage of their type’s amazing offensive capabilities; however, the other half are all at least decent and go up to exceptional: Vaporeon is at the very least in the Sea Tier by virtue of being a water type, Jolteon has the positive attribute of high speed thunder wave and high enough Special attack to kill with Thunderbolt (also, pin missile cheese on Pokémon 4x weak to bug will always be funny), Espeon is a Psychic type with Dazzling Gleam and Shadow ball so it actually has good coverage and can set up with Calm Mind, and Sylveon is a Fairy type so of course it’s good. The eeveelutions are a very polarizing mixed bag of gold and garbage. Hopefully Eevee can get some other eeveelutions in the future that flesh it out more and make it better by adding new types. Who knows, maybe they’ll throw an absolute curve ball and give secondary evolutions to some of the types to make them better.

just a minor correction, submission isn't the highest base power fighting move in gen 1. the jump kick moves are more powerful, and due to bugged recoil damage they have effectively no downside. the issue is that they're on hitmonlee, which crumples to anything with a special move. seismic toss, counter, low kick, and double kick are all examples of decent to good fighting moves, it's just that they all either don't deal conventional damage or are only on bad pokemon

[@vaiyt]

Because sleep can last 0 turns, in stadium it's beneficial to be slower when using sleep as you get at least one free turn. Wrap can be used as a pivot move as it allows you to switch without the opponent attacking you - but your opponent can also do the same if they switch while you wrap. Normal is the best type in gen1 cartridge - stab on body slam and hyper beam, immunity to body slam paralysis, usually great coverage, the fighting type sucks so counters weren't common.

[@censoredterminalautism4073]

Anyway, these are more interesting to me than the main games these days. I'm old and too aware of my mortality, so I don't have patience for baby games, and just want challenging battles. Not getting that out of the main series, that's for sure, from those you just get many hours of pressing A, mostly to skip unskippable cutscenes. But from Stadium, sure, it is possible to acquire fun from that. I should play that more. If anything just to use Seaking, because I have never once used that. In fact, as far as I know, you are the first human to ever use it in the history of the world. Kind of a shame that the main series never got battles that make strategies like that necessary. Or that they didn't just keep making Stadium games and making them well.

[@ImportedCheese]

I think Battle Revolution proves that JUST a battle sim and nothing else doesn't quite work...needs the Stadium heart!!

[@Invisibool]

I have to be honest, I think the latter parts of Scarlet and Violet, especially the final DLC, did a pretty damn good job at providing challenging battles for the player to face. I definitely think the Stadium games are interesting, but better than modern ones...? Definitely not. Sure, they're more challenging... but in all the wrong ways, since esp Stadium 1 operates on busted mechanics, and you're probably gonna be totally hamstrung by the rental system. It's challenging because the options given to you are mostly just really bad, and imo that's a pretty bad way of balancing a game like this

[@somenerd31415]

I really enjoyed this video! Gen 1 has a ton of really interesting jank compared to modern Pokémon, so being able to abuse it in an odd context like this is pretty enjoyable! You were right on almost everything, but you made an error regarding crits in gen 1. Not only is the chance you get them inconsistent, being dependent on your base speed, the damage they deal is also inconsistent, only this time being dependent on your level! When landing a crit, a Pokémon's level in the damage formula is doubled. The Level multiplier of the damage formula is (2*level*crit/5)+2, where crit is a 1 if you don't get a crit, and a 2 if you do. This results in you dealing just below 2x damage at higher levels, and significantly below 2x damage at lower levels. (some numbers for scale: 95% more at level 100, 90% more at level 50, 80% more at level 20, 50% more at level 5. Funnily enough, a level 1 Pokémon would deal no additional damage on a crit due to the way rounding works in the older games! Obviously you can't obtain a level 1 Pokémon without glitches, but it's still worth noting. Technically you also missed that crit rates in colosseum are a bit different than they are in the gen 1 carts: numbers were adjusted slightly so that slow Pokémon will crit slightly more often than before, and fast Pokémon will crit less often, with the equalizing point being at base 76 speed when the attacker isn't affected by focus energy. This change also means the minimum base speed needed to crit at the maximum odds with a high-crit move is lower, at 52 base speed instead of 64. I've really been enjoying your videos! I've watched a bunch of em' multiple times, since you do a great job at keeping things entertaining and engaging even through multiple watches. Now I just need to get into fire emblem so I can start enjoying those videos too, since as of right now I don't think I'd enjoy them without fully understanding fire emblem's mechanics and systems.

Objectively terrible?! I sentence you to an eternity in Paldea! Farewell!!

[@aciddownpour2185]

god i love your editing and humor its so perfect your content is so fucking good please never change

[@ImportedCheese]

Well hopefully we will get BETTER right

[@itswaterlily]

I played this game for the first time a few months ago & fell for like all the arena traps was not expecting those movesets

[@ImportedCheese]

I should have disarmed the traps earlier

[@MiguelSantos-gz7gj]

Seeing Tyranitar in RU hurts so much

[@ImportedCheese]

Bring back pursuit

With Tauros for the Poke cup specifically you're forgetting that Double edge doesn't deal backlash in this game if it finishes an opponent off. Charizard can be useful specifically as a safe switch into Razor Leaf. (This isn't common, but it does happen) Nerfed sleep? If you're faster than the opponent you can very safely stunlock them to death (Jynx can beat that Mew this way). With Chansey you should at least consider how it would fare against Mewtwo since Seismic toss would be a 4 hit win on its HP. You're overhyping wrap in this game since switching cancels it.

[@ImportedCheese]

Surely no recoil on KO on my one move will make Tauros the king of this game!!!

[@yaellramirez69]

Woohoo!! So hyped

[@ImportedCheese]

Hope you enjoyed the video!

25:39 Nah, normally gen 1 Aerodactyl is NU garbage but in Stadium it’s just okay- it’s the fastest thing around bar Electrode (Jolteon I believe has one less speed point so rip.), plus fly actually hits too hard for most Pokémon to take multiple hits, hyper beam still kills almost anything that isn’t a rock type or Gastly evolution, and Dragon rage is good gap filler. The main thing is most of the Pokémon that would directly threaten it like Rhydon can’t actually hit it back so they just sort of sit there and chip each other until Dragon Rage finishes them. Just don’t get hit by a super effective special move and you’ll be fine!

To be fair to Tracey, his Scyther was old and lacked the stamina for more than a few attacks so he had to default to the chonky mouse.

[@ImportedCheese]

Pathetic! He should evolve it into Scizor, then!

[@faye49347]

time for a A Cruel Ette's Thesis

No one will ever convince me to play old pokemon games because they're for old people who smell weird, like my cousin-in-law Brian.

[@ignisbad9158]

10:04 So that is interesting because it is not actually strictly true. You see, Gen 1 (definitely cartridge, and I am almost certain Stadium also does) has a distinction between primary status moves and secondary status moves. Primary status moves always work; secondary status moves never work on pokemon of their type. This works for freeze and burn because there is no primary burn or freeze move, means that poison types can be poisoned by exactly Twineedle because Toxic is hardcoded to not work on Poison types or something (Gen 1 Jank) and breaks apart with paralysis because it means Electric types are inmune to thunderbolt and thunder paralysis, Ghost types cannot be paralyzed by Lick and Normal types, to meta defining consecuences, cannot be paralyzed with Body Slam, but Thunder Wave uses the regular type inmunity check and so ground types, but not electrics, are inmune

[@ImportedCheese]

[@ignisbad9158]

And I just advanced to see that bit. Well derp. It still means that, if Will-o-wisp were a gen 1 move, it could burn fire types

[@Taurmega]

What is the music playing at 0:33? It sounds like it came straight from one of the Stadium games, but I've scoured their OSTs and couldn't quite find it. It's such a good mix, and I've heard it in multiple videos before!

[@ImportedCheese]

uh I think it's the free battle theme from stadium 1

[@canaldecasta]

When times used to be better for once

[@ImportedCheese]

If only the good times continued (like wrap )

[@M3rtyville]

55:04 Mewtwo's image in the bottom right corner looks funny. Like imagine this is Mewtwo's social media profile picture.

[@ImportedCheese]

I wonder what their follower count is
