Early gen Pokemon games will never not confuse me. “Hey, this guy specializes in fighting types, but already has the two martial arts dudes and machamp, what else should he have?” “Two identical Onix.” “What? Not primeape or poliwrath, just-“ “You heard me.”

[@OmegaTyrant]

And even if they really wanted a Rock type on his team, why not the vastly superior Golem that would be much more fitting for an Elite 4 member? I can see them wanting to keep Rhydon exclusive to Giovanni and Blue but it's not like anyone else in the game was using Golem (in fact no trainers in the Gen 1 games have a Golem at all).

[@craigyeah1052]

In the game where every other big trainer had a type, I remember never being able to figure out what he was as a kid. His dialogue didn't clarify, Brock was shirtless and had Onix, was he rock too?

[@ncr_ranger96]

At least Poliwrath gives some interesting type coverage and has good special. It could have Mega Punch/Submission, Bubblebeam/Hydro Pump (Poliwhirl learns Hydro Pump but Poliwrath does not), Hypnosis, and perhaps Amnesia or Submission. Would definitely be better than an Onix. I'm not sure Primeape really offers anything that the other pure fighting-types don't. Thrash and Screech are good, but I don't see much else that stands out. Maybe Seismic Toss?

[@pickles3128]

His Pokemon Stadium teams have such random Pokemon tacked on. Aside from Rhydon and Golem, he gets Slowbro, Clefable, Exeggutor, Muk, Blastoise, Kangaskhan, and Stadium 2 gives him Ursaring, Heracross and Granbull. The last two I can understand: Heracross is fighting and Granbull looks like him. The mango made it seem like he just used Onix to get around on, like an HM slave, and that he'd just caught them as he trains in caves, not because he preferred them. I used to think he was Brock's dad (forgot his name was Flint in the anime) and just like Onix because his son used them.

[@vestofholding]

50:23 : "I don't even want to guess at the percent chance at that turn of events." No worries, I got you. First, a few values, with Bulbapedia being the source of all my info. Gen 1 crit chance: Base speed of the Pokemon / 512 Onyx base speed: 70 Therefore Onyx's chance of critting: Roughly 13.671875%, or 35/256. Gen 1 hitting yourself in confusion chace: 1/2 or 50% Gen 1 Rock Throw accuracy: 13/20 or 65% With all that in mind.... Turn 1: Onyx is confused, but lands a crit Rock Throw anyway. (1/2) * (13/20) * (35/256) = roughly 4.44% chance for this turn alone. But let's keep going. Turn 2: Onyx is confused, but lands a Rock Throw anyway. (1/2) * (13/20) = 32.5% chance for this turn alone. The chances of this happening in sequence with the previous turn are 1.444%. Turn 3: Onyx is confused, and hurts itself in confusion. 1/2 = 50%. In sequences with the previous turns, we are now down to 0.722% chance. Turn 4: Onyx is no longer confused, and lands a crit Rock Throw. (13/20) * (35/256) = roughly 8.887%. The chances of this happening in sequence with the previous turns are 0.064%. And we're not quite done. Since the confusion condition has a random chance of lasting 2 to 5 turns, there is a 1/4 chance of any of those happening. Meaning our final answer for the chances of this specific sequences of 4 turns happening is 0.016%.

@@ceulgai2817 But that's not relevant, right ? I mean, I can roll a D100 5 times and be like "aye I had a 1 in 10 billion odds in landing this exact combination" but no one cares because it happened. What's "impressive" is that the things that happened were both unlikely and particularly good. When one talks about "the probability that a sequence of random events happened", they most of the time mean that it was a desired result - that's the difference between landing a bullseye and throwing a dart at a wall and then drawing a target around it. Yes, the probability of this particular sequence of events is very low, but that's what should be expected of any result of any sequence of multiple random events as long as the probabilities involved are reasonably close to one another (ie throwing a D6 20 times, picking 10 cards out of a 54 card deck...). This is not meaningful because every outcome is somewhat unlikely. What might be mathematcially meaningful here is the damage dealt and taken overall - because that's what we care about here. What were the odds of dealing that much damage and taking back so little damage in this sequence of events ? Probably quite low (you would have to factor in gengar nicely going for dream eater and not trying to put him to sleep), but not as low as 0.016% I can tell you that much.

[@cereal7591]

@@KiranasOfRizon And that's the EASY part against the E4! For an itemless run, the big no-no is Bruno, he's FOR ONE pretty tough... jk, he's a joke again. Nah, the problem is your PP won't be large enough for Agatha (no dirty-pun intended): none of her Pokémon can be poisoned, Golbat and Arbok resist Poison Sting, and her 3 ghosts DOUBLE resist it, and cannot be hit by Struggle when it eventually runs out. Even if she barely attacks, just to deal enough damage you need a ridiculous amount of crits even at level 100 with maxed-out PPs, attack DVs and Stat Exp/EVs. Keep in mind: Weedle's low base speed mean crits won't be very frequent, a successful Dream Eater gives HP back to Haunter or Gengar, Agatha has at least 5 Super Potions and has a 32/256 chance of using one for every turn her Pokémon is below 20% of their max HP, you don't have a move to exploit the badge glitch (I think her Golbat and/or Arbok have Screech, but use it randomly due to being a "Bad AI", so you could get lucky, but if Golbat uses Haze your Stats go back to normal), and she usually leaves her Haunter and the 2nd Gengar for last, which means that when you're forced to use Struggle, her only Pokémon remaining will be the ones that are immune to it. She's the run killer, even when she doesn't attack much. Lorelei requires the 3 crits in a row against Dewgong, which is very infrequent, but you get plenty of tries since she won't attack back and is the first Pokémon of the first E4 member. She is not THAT high of a threat after that. So Loreiei is a matter of time. A lot of time, though. If you don't save between E4 members, it will take a lot of time just to have another go at Agatha. Then again, since Jrose's reasoning for doing all of it with no saves in between is to prove his Strategy is good enough to win each battle consistently. I don't see much point on applying it on a Weedle run, which gives practically no room for strategy due to the fact Weedle doesn't learn any moves. At all. But even then, Agatha's lottery might make it impossible.

As this game was designed, beating this game at age 11 in the age before internet, the elite four were scary as hell, and i remember everything that happened the day i beat those guys. The battle songs even engraved themselves in my head

Plot Twist: the 1 in 256 chance "gen 1 miss" is actually when the opponent is using the anime move: "dodge it!"

I don’t get it when people say gen one is the hardest game. The opponents’ teams are terrible and the AI is garbage,

[@OmegaTyrant]

And then you got the Stat EXP system and the Badge boosts making your pokemon so much stronger than the opponent's, to where by the end you can be over 10 levels lower and still have better stats than the Elite 4's pokemon (nevermind the Badge boost glitch and all the imbalances you can exploit). I think people who claim Gen 1 is remotely hard just haven't played the games since they were little kids and just remember the levels being high, thinking "higher levels = more difficulty".

[@jamiecinder9412]

@@OmegaTyrant I still remember beating Red for the first time and I still won the champion rival battle despite forgetting to heal beforehand, lol. All of my Pokemon were at Lv. 47, too.

[@KreepyKat911]

R/S/E through B/W were probably the games that came closest to actually being Hard. Pokemon's never really been that difficult, and I don't suppose it was ever meant to be, but things certainly have been getting simpler recently.

[@Robin93k]

They probably say that, because Pokémon newer actually got harder after the first Gen. They either stayed equal or became easier.

I guess clunkyness is a difficulty to them. Good thing GSC is superior to RBY in every way.

I've always wondered why Bruno has 2 Onix instead of 1 Onix and a Primeape.

Or why not a Golem if they wanted to keep Rhydon exclusive to Giovanni and Blue, especially when no trainer in the Gen 1 games has a Golem.

I love these!! You said to let you know if we want you to make more of these kinds of challenge videos. I say, yes sir!! Yes please! Keep em coming!! 4 challenge video suggestions: 1. Brock Challenge (only Brocks team from Red/Blue) 2. Giovanni Challenge (only his team from Red/Blue or Yellow, whichever is most challenging) 3. Youngster Joey Challenge (Only a Ratatta of the top percentage) 4. Misty Challenge (Only Misty's team from either Red/Blue or Yellow, again, whichever is most difficult)

This might sound weird, but these videos are the equivalent of like a show I really enjoy on say Hulu coming out each week, except this doesn’t have seasons and it’s usually faster than once a week, and it’s always awesome. TLDR Great stuff thanks for this at a time its really needed!!

I don't know about everyone else, but I am so happy that there is still a Pokemon Gen 1 community on youtube. It's 2020 and people are still making content with these games.

[@saturnusdevorans]

I know you're not really interested in gen 7 runs, but Elite 4 Hala has one of the worst sets: 1 pokemon with 3 move slots, 3 pokemon with 2 move slots. If you ever did a gen 7 challenge set team, I think this would be a difficult and interesting one to do.

[@wickederebus]

See, a Protect/Last Resort combo would be great as a 2 slot setup

[@sephondranzer]

Bruno is the embodiment of life being about timing. Bruno is objectively stronger than Brock in every way, but we’d never imagine mocking Brock because you face him at the beginning with very little tools. Bruno is wildly weak by the time you’ve beaten Lorelei.

[@orleyweaver8630]

Honestly Bruno the most powerful trainer as he became a part of the elite four with those pokemon

This run was hilarious and I appreciate the humor of mocking some of the terrible AI/trainers, god knows Bruno and the others deserve it. Best Pokemon content on KZbin. You keep coming up with ways to make these videos interesting where others have failed. Since you brought them up, I would love to see any Pokemon Stadium challenge runs you can think of, since those games have by far the best enemy AI. If you want to further differentiate yourself from other Pokemon youtubers, the stadiums and colosseum/XD are largely untouched, and are way more interesting to see than the Gameboy games for the millionth time. Not that I'm insulting your content, I love your content, man.

[@tonytang7550]

Technically Onix is fully evolved

[@OmegaTyrant]

It was really the movesets that made things so much harder, if he could have picked his moves it wouldn't have been much harder than a typical run (being able to learn Dig, Earthquake, and Rock Slide, as well as keep Bind on his Onix and Karate Chop on his Machamp would have made things waaaaaaaaay easier, especially with Agatha).
