Joe Biden vs Gym Leader Winona! (Presidents Play Pokemon Emerald: Episode 11)

They're back at it boys. In this episode, Joe leads us through Fortree City and the routes around it, ultimately taking on Gym Leader Winona. We also add our final team member and spin the nickname wheel so make sure to watch the whole thing!
One quick thing about my absence recently: I have plenty of excuses but I won't bombard you with them here. I wouldn't care enough to know either. Just know that I'm doing what I can here, and my priority lies in quality over quantity. Hope you enjoy the episode.

Yooooo didn't have to do all this boss! A crazy notification to see. Preciate it so much. Stay tuned for the upcoming special huge shoutout coming your way. Thanks for the support man glad you like the series so much. Lmk if you want any specific pokemon nicknamed after you or whatever nickname you want for something in the platinum nuzlocke we'll do down the line, I'll jot it down for ya.

[@noname-gp6hk]

Imma be honest I don't know anything about pokemon these guys are just my favorite fictional characters like a modern day beavis and butthead lmao, and your writing and AI voices make some of the best bants I've seen on youtube. Name something Beardozer or something, lol. Or don't, I'm happy just seeing the series keep going. Just finishing the 5 hour part 1-10 series and it's some of the best content I've seen on the internet in like a decade. Thanks for all the laughs lad.

[@Dylxan327]

hahaha the fact that you're this into it yet you don't even play pokemon is wild to me. Guess that means you really like the dynamic I've made for the three of them. Means a lot man, the support is so much appreciated. Gave you a big shoutout in the recent episode make sure to check that out, definitely a good one. Thanks again big smile on my face reading this.

Blue is the best, a rich kid speedrunning Kanto and getting the best pokemon available. Its so fun how he rushes things and that leads to his defeat against red every time.

Blue definitely was a great rival to start the series off. And of course, his anime counterpart Gary, with 10 badges and a limousine full of women 10 years older than him doesn't hurt his reputation

Often that means I have to regenerate the text I have the AI spit out for me, that's where the expense of the videos comes from for the most part. Not to get into it too much but I think a lot of other channels just type out the text, let the software generate the audio, and they paste it in. I'm trying my best to focus on timely inflection and interactions with the others and all that, so that's why it takes a while. Sociology of conversation is an interesting thing haha.

[@King0nyx]

Glad to see you back! Got worried for a moment something might have happened, but I understand life gets in the way sometimes. My choice for best rival is either Gary or May. Gary, because he was the OG rival and constantly one step ahead of you. His cockiness would give you the drive to always be better than him, so you could keep him in check.(Also his theme in the OG games slapped) May, because I have gen 3 bias (Hoenn is the best don't @ me) and she still remained a competent rival, she just was friendlier than rivals from the first 2 generations. She was more the kind of rival that wanted to push you to be better, instead of her herself being the best.

[@Dylxan327]

Thanks King! The support means so much thanks for understanding. As much as I want to put youtube in front of my other real life stuff, that simply isn't possible for now.

[@TheCheezwiz1]

Good to see this series back! Glad I predicted the Kekwleon and even tho my name of skittles didn't get chosen, the name that did was incredibly wholesome. As for Barak's comment question, I'm normally anti gen 1 thinking it's the weakest gen in the series but I have to say that Blue is my favorite rival in the series. I always liked him as even tho he was antagonistic, he was never malicious in his actions, plus I really like how much development and coverage he's had over the entire franchise, showing up as the new 8th gym leader of kanto seeming more mature if still a little arrogant in Gold and Silver, not to mention his appearances in Sun/Moon and Let's Go. My favorite iteration of Blue however is probably from Pokemon Origins where I really like his bad boy demeanor but showed that he was completely willing to work with Red to stop Team Rocket multiple times in the series. Also random thing about Blue that I like is his 'L for loser" forehead esque wave that he does, I think I first noticed it in Moon and he does it a lot in Let's Go but I thought it was a cute little quirk of his that fit in with his character and I actually picked it up myself irl, if I'm ever greeting someone I know or heading out I'll do his little gesture, not sure why but it just sorta stuck. Anyways massive essay about Blue over, I'm really looking forward to the future of both this series now that the team is rounded up but also the channel as a whole, I'm looking forward to any series that may come after this one.

[@Dylxan327]

[@BenKneeDee]

CQ: The worst rival is easily the Kalos squad. Calem and Serena are supposed to be the personification of the story's conflict, but it's not executed well, and the rest of the rivals have awful development. As much as I'd like to say Silver is the best rival because of his theme and his simple yet effective design, for me, the best rival has to be Blue. As cliché as that is, his doucheyness is perfect motivation, and the final battle against him is classic. I'd like to put Nemona as my favorite because she has a better theme and character arc, but defending SV is dangerous lol

[@brandagwood1284]

1000% agree with all of this. You took the words right out of my mouth lol. Blue is the goat without a doubt.

Haven't played enough of s/v to have an informed opinion of her but from what i remember Nemona was a fun energetic rival character but definitely when I think pokemon rival, blue is the first thing pop in my head, a rare gen 1 w for me

[@jordandruckenmiller3841]

Out of the Pokemon rivals you face, at first I was thinking Barry or Nemona, but my confirmed answer is Hugh from Black and White 2. Unlike most rivals that either fight you either as a good friend or trying to prove how much stronger they are than you, Hugh's battles with you are both to see if he's gotten stronger for reasons other than trying to be better than you for the sake of getting back his sister's stolen Purrloin and his sort of arc through the game is one of the better rival arcs in my opinion

[@Dylxan327]

Lots of love for Nemona in the comments here but I've never played anything past gen 6 so I couldn't tell you much about that one haha. That being said Hugh is a pretty good one. His battles are pretty forgettable though if you ask me. I feel like you don't actually battle him directly too much. Lots of doubles battles with him on your side

These are my favorite AI presidents

[@BuuTube]

I like the dynamic between the player and May and the player and Wally. I do feel like they messed something up though. The rival should be the one that persists in challenging you all the way to Victory road. Wally, the inexperienced, initially infirmed boy who catches a feeble Ralts at the beginning of his journey and doesn't even decide to actually be a trainer until you've already gotten 3 badges should be the one who makes a couple attempts but ultimately gives up by Lilycove city. Ralts could be fully evolved by then, showing how his bond with Gardevoir developed it to something formidable, but he still can't quite cut it in the end and decides to take his beloved Pokemon back home and just enjoy their company, or take up another Pokemon related pursuit. On the other hand, May (rival) who claims to want to stop battling and focus on collecting and research gives up right before a plethora of new Pokemon types and explorable regions become available. Her story starts when yours does and she would feel more developed as a rival and a character if she takes her pursuit of Pokemon knowledge and follows you all the way to Victory Road. There, having seen just about everything Hoenn has to offer and losing to you, yet again, right before the final challenge of battle focused Pokemon trainers, it would make more sense for her to realize that she loved the journey and meeting all the new Pokemon in all the different places along the way and there's no need for her keep struggling to match you in battle or to attempt the Elite Four when battle just isn't her thing. That said, I liked May and Wally as characters and it was cool watching them develop and seeing their choices. They were also the first rivals that didn't hate your guts or have outright bad philosophies about Pokemon. After this rivals just started getting boring and cut & paste. I think it was worst in Kalos when you had like 4 friend/rivals all at once and none of them stood at chance against you at anything. Your rival should always pick the Pokemon that has an advantage against you. Over leveling makes them easy to beat no matter what they chose, so at least let them pick the one that poses a bigger threat.

I love your videos and I love this one please keep up the good work and it's okay you haven't been posting for a while but remember quality over quantity

[@Dylxan327]

yessir glad you understand! Thanks for the support. I actually ended up redoing this episode a couple times because the script seemed lacking. So ultimately i just needed a little motivational break you know. it happens sometimes but I'll try to be transparent about it

[@thelordoftheweebs9501]

0:13 lol based donald on the giga chad mindset grindset.

[@hunterbell3373]

honestly not using hidden power dragon with menectric against altaria triggered me so hard

[@Dylxan327]

lol was waiting for this comment! Thunderbolt always does more damage there because of STAB. Hidden power is somewhere between 30 base power and 70 base power in gen 3, and even if it were the max of 70, then it's doing an equivalent of 140bp from the super effective. But thunderbolt is 95 bp in gen 3, and with STAB that comes up to 142.5 bp. Thank you for letting me nerd out here I know you did not ask for this lmao

Gotta say: Joe was a fuckin gigachad in this episode. Well done!

[@Wiifan5551]

@@Dylxan327 Love to see it! Keep up the amazing work. Seriously some of the best shit on KZbin.

Obviously, the best rival is blue his attitude, and all he wanted was to win and he’s in multiple games

Donald: No this is the dumbest shit *proceeds to fucking Pokemon Go ad* Preach it donnie 😂😂

[@anthonyreid5226]

Silver is my favorite. Might be nostalgia, but they seemed like a somewhat challenging rival that had good character development.

[@nintendo8127]

It’s great to see this again. I have a long comment. I just want to say, as I just started a video, I assume there isn’t a question about this. I wanted to same my favorite place is the Distortion World, and I despise BDSP for making a joke. What makes the Distortion World special to me is how unstable the place is. And the 3 people and Giratina is what makes that place even more special. As someone who feels like I have an unstable mind, it fits what my mind feels a lot. It is the only place in Pokémon where I am okay with the HM use. Also, I am of belief that Cynthia could beat Cyrus, but Cyrus would have no chance of learning anything, so having you beat Cyrus means that maybe, you had a chance of changing him, but I am glad he doesn’t. Some people can’t be changed. So I view Distortion World not as just Giratina World, but the mind of Cyrus as well. Side note: my favorite rival is easily Hugh from Black 2/White 2.

[@nintendo8127]

Hugh is my favorite. It was close between him, Silver, and Barry. I don’t like Gary because he acts like an asshole for no reason. He is overrated of a rival to me. Silver has an excuse, at least, and HG/SS made him into a great rival. I like Barry, because he does have a strong team and he has motivation to be better than you. But what Hugh has is that he does get crapped on, and he dishes out jokes and even punches a member of Team Plasma. He isn’t great at first, but he wins me over in the middle.

[@Dylxan327]

distortion world was so god damn cool when I first saw it. That was literally revolutionary. Like imagine going from gen3 on the gba to the distortion world on the DS. One of the coolest upgrades from generation on, if not the coolest. Super based take on that very interesting, thanks for the comment nintendo.

[@joedepalo3230]

You are by far the best at this; while I like the other channels, I will blow my brains out if I have to hear another “LMFAO” after every sentence. Also, Biden is the only President I want to listen to have uncontrollable orgasms. Thank you

[@Dylxan327]

Ayy thanks Joe means a whole lot to hear people like this channel so much. I keep up with a handful of other presidents AI creators, and we definitely all have our own styles here. I'm trying to prioritize an organic conversation between some friends in a discord call, while also keeping jokes fresh. And biden's perverseness is a joke that needs to be applied carefully haha. Glad you like the series brother thanks for the comment.

[@oler777]

i thought silver was the best rivle or gary/blue in the first games they made you feel like you needed to train up to win

[@Dylxan327]

fax I agree with you and donald's take on this one. the new gen rivals are booty. But i have heard good things about the one in SV, which i haven't played

[@HelixHero4364]

As you could tell, I’m pretty fond of a play through that uses whiscash

[@Dylxan327]

lmao I have never used him before this run. His moveset is S tier hopefully that makes up for the mediocre stats. Dont hate me just spitting the fax.

[@animewarrior3]

Blue/gary is the best rival. A rival, an enemy, and a friend.

[@nuclearrylaw7616]

Happy to see the episode man, always love the banter these guys do especially with the timing they have when they say something in the background when one of them says something sus lmao personally imo I’d settle for quality over upload consistency but that’s just me As for favorite rival ive gotta keep it classy and say good ole Blue from the first gen lol

[@Dylxan327]

ayyy glad you like it nuclear i'm doing my best to keep things sounding as organic as possible. Like a real conversation between 3 friends in a discord call but are also fed up with one another. That was part of my motivation doing this I felt like I have enough gaming with the boys experience i could make this funny. And also i'm glad you understand, I had to take a little break from uploading for a couple reasons. But one of them was I had finished the video, but I just didn't seem up to par. Even still I feel like this episode was a little rushed at some points in terms of conversation. Anywho thanks for watching and the comment. See you around.

[@isaacpaz9287]

Welcome back!!!!!! Okay I'm trying not to go classic Donald and roast you for a very CLEARLY sleepy take and should have instead gone for the banette on the team. Kecleon is BEYOND EASY to abuse and KO in the Battle Frontier and horrible stats. It was just a gimmick pokemon. No promises on silently judging your choice but congrats on evolving Titan and the catfish 😅 I am excited the setup is for Don next episode which means we are finally ready for TIFFANY the SHUPPET/BANETTE to be captured!! Don't forget I mentioned the gold luvdisk via Thiefing for Heart Scales outside the victory road towards bottom of waterfall. Also as side filler episode I recommend Sleepy make a base in the NW portion of the map surfing away from Rustboro in the trees over there BUT have him play when the others are away so only he knows the location. Have random money disappear to go to the base for a big reveal later would be amazing

[@Dylxan327]

I'm thinking I'll give you a special shoutout next episode haha given your persistency with the shuppet requests. And the fact that I teased you this whole way through haha. Yeah I was thinking that too some random time when Donald goes to buy items he only has like 69 pokedollars in the account, only to see Joe bought like every doll in existence haha. preciate the support iris make sure to stay tuned!

[@isaacpaz9287]

@@Dylxan327 for your bases make sure you get the plank as it is needed for some of the nicer bases to get across. The nw route outside of Meteor falls and Rustboro city just a surf away is perfect in addition the spots that are in the rapids west of Pacifidlodge

Now that's an interesting idea. Definitely more likely than any of the later gen games. Colosseum is actually pretty easy to emulate.
