HOW EASILY CAN YOU COMPLETE PROFESSOR OAK'S CHALLENGE IN POKEMON BLACK/WHITE?

After completing the Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, you all have heavily requested that I take on the 5th generation. Today we're going to find out how easily you can complete Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Black and White! This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

Hey everyone! Two things: 1.) I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in like a month, but there's A LOT of issues that I had with videos in that they were either not entertaining enough for me, or just too hard to complete in a small time frame. I appreciate you guys for sticking around, and there's PLENTY more on the way. 2.) I've been streaming almost every day on my Twitch account, and I'm going to be doing LIVE CHALLENGES on there after I'm done with my nuzlocke. I usually stream at 4:30 EST! 3.) The audio corrupted for part of the voiceover, so I'm sorry I sound like a robot through parts of it :/ Anyways, have a great day! :)

[@ViolentNoctis]

The reason I loved this generation so much. Moving sprites, maaan everyone complained that 5th gen pokes were bad, to a certain extent yeah some of them are bad. But people forget not only did we get new pokemon, we could also see old ones with a moving animation, charizard sprite -> 3d zard.

Every gen has its share of pokemon people dislike heck gen 1 has VERY SIMPLE designs too lol but apparently gen 5 HAS TO GET TARGETED BADLY..... anyways nowadays i see people praise gen 5 more than before lol

Imo the 3D models that came with XY are slept on. As in one year after the last main entry, the new one had 3D models for more than 700 creatures (including more than 600 old mons). Yeah you may say that it's not as expressive as Gen 5 moving sprites, imo they're as much expressive as them (and more expressive than the Gen 1-4 static sprites).

[@maganhassan2627]

@@phil2160 well my only issue with the 3d models is that the pokemon don't blink a lot XD

[@xninjabluexTV]

​@@phil2160 I'm curious if this is the reason why SW/SH doesn't have the full national dex in the base game, and potentially after the release of both future DLC. Given the amazing graphics we have now, how many pokemon exist and having saved 3D models for every single one, I'm beginning to wonder how much storage the game would need. That's not even including models for shinys and the slow addition of more Gigantamax forms. Even adding Mega forms to the game would only further increase the necessary disk space.

[@this_is_alecandi6228]

I wasn't expecting this! What an awesome surprise! =)

[@explodingpikachu7475]

Oh! Howdy sir! Wasn't expecting to see you here! Maybe you could try a POC! I suggest X and Y seeing as they're some of the easier games to do the challenge in!

I don't think you missed anything else, but I know you can catch both dragonite and tyranitar at the same places as their pre-evolutions

[@gasfortheflames8672]

@JohnstoneYT I haven't seen you in my feed since 2021 I missed your content man. It's the perfect shiny hunting background noise

About the DS freezing, I've had this quite a lot during my time playing my DS, I assume it to be caused by poor contact between the system and the cart, sometimes it happens. It usually led me to save often due to that.

I have never been more happy to see a KZbin notification

[@bridgeseller7004]

Is it just me or people commenting "when's XY" and "Do SM" are so ANNOYING?! Like, I want to see those videos too, they are very interesting. But what's the point of spamming?

[@Bauliz]

True

[@martinprado5133]

XY and SM are going to be easy, the Exp Share is very op.

[@maganhassan2627]

@@martinprado5133 I think the alola games are difficult because of xp mechanic exactly the same as the unova games plus something to do with island scan thing I ain't very familiar with

[@maganhassan2627]

I saw a professor oak challenge for xy from another youtuber (chaotic meatball) before but never seen anyone cover the alola games before so I rather see them first before xy

[@juniorperez5822]

sun and moon are actually harder and no one that i know of havent completed it

[@Hugodenbeste]

You actually did Gen V you madman! Loved your haircut stream btw.
