[@youtube-kit9450]

Pokés that just start with a normal attack (non-stab) or worse just run into a Brock-Wall for like an hour, unless you can make it up later like Mew because of an insane movepool, it's just brutal. Hence why gamefreak used rock for the first 3 of 4 gyms, and fire/fighting for 3 - rock is the perfect "first gym" type if you give the fire starter metal claw or a fighting move. Everyone early game poké has jack shit to deal with it, but the starters will sweep through it. Makes rock pokémon look way more intimidating. Like, Onix is legendarily garbage and only impressive exactly as Brock's ace because it's high-level for that point in the game and then its defence which makes up nearly half its BST means something. Now imagine GF learned their lesson and stopped making the ice gym 7th or higher every gen since it also would be a wonderful early gym with its glass cannon nature when not everyone and their mom has an answer to them.

Comments section: "Dragonite will beat Mewtwo!" Me, a gen 1 veteran: "Oh, this is gonna hurt."

I mean, Dragonite has worse stats than Mew (same base stat total but *much* slower, the attack isn’t the most important, and less bulk for what it’s worth), a worse experience group, and a worse movepool, though they both have poor starting moves. *And* no STAB, so arguably worse typing too. I’m not sure why it was even considered as a contender to beat Mewtwo, though it’s 100% a cool run to see!

[@Redpoppy80]

Same. Dragonite is OK but for a Pseudo Legendary, Dragonite sucks. I used a Dragonite a lot in Pokemon Stadium and while it had the best Atk stat, the lack of ANY good moves for it meant that you were forced to wait until it learned Hyper Beam or just treat it as a Special Sweeper. Unless you wanted to cheese with Wrap as Dragonite was the best trapper in the Gen though I was never patient enough for such a slow strategy.

To be honest, Dragonite is very similar to Gyarados. Only 20 more base stats overall and a very similar stat distribution too. Of course he's trading the Water typing for Dragon which is slightly better resistance wise but misses out on STAB Surf/Hydropump and can't actually learn Hydropump, yet he can still Surf oddly enough. All in all the extra resistances Dragon offers over Water are rather insignificant by the time you make it to the elite 4 whereas STAB Surf and access to Hydropump can come in handy(depending on your rival's composition mostly) but isn't crucial or anything. So slightly better stats, slightly worse Water moves, all in all pretty even and thus I expected very similar results.

Dragonite is mediocre at best, for a casual playthrough it needs way too many TMs and too much experience to accomplish anything, and in competitive play it only has the cheap Agility + Wrap gimmick going for it.

I would love to see a Mr Mime run for no other reason then he's my favorite Pokémon outside of Mew which you already did

"Not something they would do in modern Pokemon" Raids in gen 8 give powerful TRs regardless of how difficult the raids are.

[@RosyKitteh]

"Raids"? what's going on in Gen 8 that we have raids. I have never played a game outside of gen 1, 2, 3, and 6

[@roccopiosaracino3681]

@@RosyKitteh there's a new mechanic called dynamax, basically a pokemon becomes huge and his moves get a power boost, there's raids where you can fight those pokemon to gain exp and instruments

[@Xapheion101]

@@RosyKitteh play 4/5 they are by far the best the series has to offer. But to answer your question there are giant building sized Pokémon that you fight 4 on 1. Not as interesting as it sounds just YT Pokémon raid battles.

Look. I understand completely why you choose to not save between fights in the Elite Four, it makes sense, you've made your case. But dude, NOBODY would blame you if you decided to save after winning the Agatha Lottery.

You're the only person I've ever heard of who says "Laura Lee" for Lorelei.

[@swampy725]

Loaura lee Like urora lee

[@BingtheLizard]

@@swampy725 Except the name Lorelei is Germanic in origin, so the "ei" is therefore pronounced the same as in Einstein. The correct pronunciation sounds like "law-rel-eye".

"Putting such a powerful move so early in the game is something they wouldn't do in modern Pokémon games." TR rewards from raid dens in Sword and Shield would like to know your location.

[@zeaferjones1404]

The thing is as great as Body Slam is its not that much better than cut so I feel you have to reward someone a little bit for finding it. If I'm not mistaken you actually get mega punch much quicker.

[@MasterZenII]

@@zeaferjones1404 Fairly decent point. But I was still making a funny. TRs in Sword and Shield was just rediculous.

[@smob0]

I have a very tiny optimization if you care. After you beat Sabrina, you can step on the teleporter and then dig away, instead of just digging. If you do this you will do the teleport animation to the center instead of doing the spin animation. Its probably only a free second at most (not sped up), but it's a neat trick.

[@MijmerMopper]

A cool trick, like being able to fish into the statues at gyms. But I don't think it'd save time because you have to walk back to the teleport thing first and at speed up you probably end up teleporting inside the gym rather then to the centre.

[@kylewingrove]

Okay, what you did for Adam massive respect. I know it seems small but honestly most people wouldn't do such. Loved your series already but now you get a sub

[@yawg691]

Palette choice on this one is fantastic, dude.

[@hadesofender]

I just noticed you changed all the bonus episodes to actual numbered episodes

I kinda liked the base form pokemon being the only numbered ones, but I'm also weird.

I gotta say, these videos are great to listen to while drawing.

[@nachokz]

Fantastic channel, congratulations! My remaining candidates for defeating Mewtwo run would be: Jynx - Good Speed and Special Attack, Unbelievable movepool plus Ice & Psychic STAB. Getting past Brock should be the hardest part. Mr. Mime - Slightly worse stats and movepool than Jynx but Confusion from the beggining should save time. Tentacruel - Pretty balanced, good Special defense and movepool.

[@cooljoe1920]

How about a minimum battle run where you start with 6 level 1 Pokemon in the Slow Experience group with Exp All the entire time? For example, Tentacool, Dratini, Magikarp, Staryu, Exeggcute and Rhyhorn. All 6 pokemon have to participate in every battle (due to a Gen 1 bug you wouldn't gain that much experience). The goal would be to get a champion team with the lowest average level possible and the lowest level possible for highest-level Pokemon in the party.

[@marcelmruk9304]

I want to see Slowpoke/Slowbro run. It would be fun to watch "slow" pokemon do it fast. Great moves, good stats, amnesia, what more do you want from pokemon? maybe more speed then 30 X - X

[@Platonic69]

I can't believe that you've weaponized Marnie's Theme to attack my emotions. What's even real anymore

[@nickmcdade4074]

So I’m new to these kinds of runs, but what amazed me the most was you changing a Pokémon’s move set in the middle of a Pokémon league run. That just goes against everything I have learned and known, you walk in with the best team, with the best moves, and the best items... and this guy just comes in and flips the game upside down. I’m still baffled... but great run, watched the whole thing.

[@michaelcritter7933]

Surely Arcanine is a portmanteau of Arcane and Canine... As in Magical Dog. With that, I am 100% behind your phonetic.

[@SomeGuy-ty7kr]

I think there are two factors necessary to contend the number one spot. Good moves at level five, and a favorable matchup vs agatha. I think without those, the pokemon doesn't stand a chance at dethroning MewTwo

[@MijmerMopper]

You need to minimum battle Brock, before that point you have so little options that it's a massive choking point

[@youtube-kit9450]

From what we've seen so far, you need 1. a viable answer to brock 2. access to special moves (thunderbolt, ice beam, psychic) as much as possible to plow through most of the game 3. Agatha's lottery to not fuck you over Hence why the pokémon coming closest happened to be the ones with the highest special, not to mention that those also mostly got the great movepools. Seriously gen 1, wtf.
