He mentioned Bulk-Up as one of the better moves, but my heart goes out to Dragon Dance. Curse, Agility, Rest, Return would be very on-brand for Gen2, though, especially if you know you need to outspeed Blastoise and take down Snorlax quickly. And almost 50 minutes into the video later... yep, That Tracks!

I've been asking for the 18 way versus of Unowns for a long time, just earing you thinking about it made my day much better. Wish you give it a try, i think i could give a lot of interesting information about the usefulness of different Hidden Powers, and even information about how Shiny pokémon perform in gen 2.
@evilvitamin2 ай бұрын
So inspired by this, I decided to check whether there’s mechanical differences in the 26 Unown forms, to see if Scott would need to take any of that into account when running the 16 Hidden Powers. Turns out, the form is determined by DVs. “Oh cool” I thought, like a fool, “Each letter will correspond to a specific Hidden Power, giving an easy way to distinguish runs.” NOPE. The calculations are done oddly. Long story short, with optimal DVs, each type corresponds to one of 4 letters. Physical types are either R or T, Special are X or Z. Gamefreak WHY.

Hey Scott, I would love to see you do casual playthroughs. My initial thought was a livestream series of a casual playthrough of the new game you're going to start on December 25. Don't know how you feel about sort of bumping up the release of a new game before the 25th, but it might be nice to do it live so chat can help you learn the nuances of the new games and do R&D before you start recording a bunch if solo runs. I think it would also be a good way to showcase some different content during daily December, where there's already going to be tons of solo running content.

The improvement from the new strategy really impressed me! I know it's been a meme on the channel the past couple weeks, but I wonder if Surf could actually help defeat Pryce at a lower level since it can be deleted right after in this generation.

Maybe? We won’t need a higher level at the end though, so the extra trip to delete it just seems like time bloat.

Part of my thinking was that this would unlock the Blackthorn Fly point before Radio Tower, but the move deleter is pretty far from the Ice Path exit. Might mean you could skip some of the out of the way candies and delay the one on Route 27, though I'd guess the time would be really close either way.

Icons you could use to show that you're doing a special run include (but are not limited to): Charish ball for event pokemon Egg icon for egg moves Linking cable for evolving a trade evolution mid run Actual link cable or trade icon (the one with two pokeballs) for tradebacks/trade only moved(unless the time capsule has an icon) Another option for event icons is move specific. Like, Onix has a picture of Porygon for the sharpen run. More work, but it'll look cool. Also, about the egg moves, I am pretty sure there is a limitation in gen 2 where they can only receive one egg move. Citation needed, but you're also more familiar with the code than I am.

You lose friendship so returns power goes down as the Pokémon faints. That might be useful for a first-stage mon where the run is going to be like 2 hours anyway.

I've put a few songs into these games. It'd be awesome if you had that for these runs. You have two melody instruments, one bass, one drum. The drums are absolutely vital to making anything sound good. You cannot use one channel to play two notes. Only four notes can play at once, again one of them being bass. And in gen 1 at least it causes weird freezing issues if you use the fourth channel. I don't think transposing it for this game would be all that hard compared to everything you've done.
