Snorut always looks like it wants a hug. I love them

[@IchigoKurosaki-iq6ox]

gotta agree always loved how it behaved in the anime as well Happy Snorunt in cold weather is adorable perfectly examble is Ash´s battle with Juan

[@NLR-J]

The problem with this: he's an ice type, so your body heat will instead melt him. But I agree he's certainly one of the most huggable ice types in the entire series.

[@TirelessGaming]

Maybe it just needs an ugly Christmas sweater

[@DuskLegend]

Them? You mean it?

[@PBK1977]

​@@DuskLegendThere're many, many Snorunt out there, so them is perfectly acceptable

[@capnquark8782]

Love that you changed the text boxes to match the ice typing. It's the small details like that, that show how dedicated you are to quality videos.

[@bradigan]

An Emerald run with Surskit would be pretty tough I think.

[@nishok938]

Pretty sure he's done that before.

[@bradigan]

@@nishok938 I searched Mah Dry Bread Surskit and didn't find anything

[@nishok938]

@@bradigan Huh. I could have sworn there was one. Maybe he'll see this and do it!

[@AussieRider20]

Can I just say i love how this came out on the same day another KZbinr made a Hoenn run with all spheals.

[@trhynosaur]

I needed something to help stay awake burning the midnight oil. I'm glad you're doing better health wise. A challenge I've tried in Pokémon is Platinum (and more recently Shining Pearl) with only a Shieldon, but I've never had the time and willpower to see it through. I'd be curious what you think of a run like that.

[@sonicdragon813]

Hey MDB, here’s a suggestion: Hidden Power! Grab the TM for it in Fortree City, save in front of the forced Kecleon battle, and see if it’s worth using. Since Kecleon turns into the type Hidden Power is, it could potentially be great coverage for whatever Pokémon you use in Gen 3 challenges.

[@ericsegura4977]

Kecleon doesnt have protean in gen3. Its type changes to moves that hit it not moves it uses

[@sonicdragon813]

@@ericsegura4977 I said use Hidden Power on Kecleon, not Kecleon using it

[@livramento7220]

just a "AskMDB" would help right? :D Question: what was the most surprising pokemon challenge of 2022 for you? like which one you thought will be pretty easy but was difficult instead

[@Lightman0359]

I was going to suggest MDBQ, but yours has that fun mix of lower and upper case letters that 8/16 bit character restrictions create. Question/Suggestion: Since you're a huge wrestling fan, if you had to make a team that best represents your favorite wrestlers as pokemon, who/what would they be? and what gen would best serve as a challenge for them? [this could be amini-series with i wrestling stable per gen]. They don't have to all be Fighting type [Kane could be a fire type, Undertaker ghost and Rey Mysterio flying for example]

[@SoggyCoffeeAddict]

Hearing him mention how bad that was to get the right nature reminded me of when I started my own pokemon challenge in gen 4 and wanted to do turtwig, and got like 11-12 defense lowering natures in a row

[@pyrochu216]

Better get Brother Ray and Brother Devon to get the tables to cushion this challenge 😄

[@dysartes]

I'm hoping they were the names for the HM pokemon.

[@anthonynorman7545]

DEEEVOOON!!! GET THE TAAAAABLEEEEEESSSS!!!!!! 🤪

[@Nightmare-kn6ee]

Have you ever thought of doing a challenge where you use only the Pokemon teams from the eight gym leaders? The catch being that you can only use that gym leaders team until you beat them, then you would move onto the next team. And you would have to complete the rest of the game with the 8th gym leaders game, and depending on the game the teams could be either good or bad.

[@mello-by]

Sounds interesting, but lots of grinding

[@averytubestudios]

Idea for the key word for questions: Dux Question for the next challenge: If you could change the base Pokemon formula, what would you change it to? This could be similar or Mystery Dungeon or any other game you’ve played.

[@maxspecs]

Folks always sleep on using Blizzard for their ice types, but I feel like the extra power would really help hit some of those damage ranges. You could even throw Hail on your moveset to get some use out of Ice Body, or Rest to deal with Toxic.

[@paulthompson382]

My question for this run is: are there any challenges or series that you have ever been tempted to or wanted to redo later because you'd enjoy it more now? Also please do another Nancy Drew soon it's just the best

[@HeckMayster.]

Also fun fact about emerald double battle AI. (This is something the emerald kaizo figured out so shoutout to them) If you are in a double battle and the enemy pokemon see a kill with their moves, they will always hit that move into the slot that it kills. In a situation where multiple moves kill, they'll randomly select any of the killing moves regardless of typing. Thats why sometimes in double battles you'll see them target the empty slot the same turn it dies.

[@nocountryforojamen6749]

Hey MDB, hope you see the comment. Firstly, I'm really glad your channel picked up; I cannot think of anyone who I am more happy for in that regard, especially since the video in which you have shared your story and family situation... needless to say, it hit close to home. Either way, you rock. What I am really trying to say is if you enjoy the work of Troika Games, I would strongly advise you playing Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption (and Bloodlines, the 'sequel'). Troika really knew what makes or breaks rpg games. Either way, never change my man

[@tylerm3303]

I finally bought a couple of the graphic tees and they really are comfy and the look is great. I was hesitant since most graphic tees can be itchy or bad shirts at the base but so far loving them. First time I listened to a KZbinr ad and bought the product, mostly because of years of you not doing just any random ad. Love the show from challenges to lets plays, happy to show support in any way I can

[@eduardosalguero8506]

I’m so happy you are feeling better, I was missing your videos so much!

[@LordLucario12]

Oh hey it's the run I've requested since forever and even started before my computer died! Very excited to see this one!

[@franciscodeabreu4004]

For the psychic gym you could've used Blizzard. The accuracy is not the most reliable thing, but it hits both opponents, at least it would've made short work of both Xatu and Claydol on the first turn. Judging by the damage that Ice Beam did to Solrock and Lunatone, it may have even one-shotted them too.

[@DefinitelyNotAFerret]

Surprised you’re still going strong with this, also surprised I’m still watching these 😂 keep it up!

[@diserasta1]

Fascinating run! And great to hear you're feeling better as things go on. Hopefully everything settles down with time. Would love to see pokemon emerald with only one castform, speaking of emerald

[@linketinie]

Happy to see weekly content Maybe an idea for a next run with chimeco

[@idontwantahandlethough]

great stuff as usual bro! I love Snorut, it's one of my favorite pokemon in the cute category

[@TheBloodswordsman]

First off - I am never tired of hearing about Khimyra. Second off - I knew exactly what you were talking about.

[@mikestephens4968]

Mdb love your videos! On now rewatching all your challenges! Would love to see fire red butterfree only! Can't wait till you're 100% again! Keep up the amazing work

[@snipperriffel]

Love the challenge! Snorunt is one of my favourites just cause of the dramatic change on evolution. Question time, Have you ever played Pokemon Conquest? and if so did you like the movement stuff in combat? if not, would you do a challenge run?

[@gemma7438]

You could call the question segment the Ginnungagap, it’s the place where ice and fire meet to make the first giant (an oversimplification, I know) but it’s a very unique word to search for and I think it’s interesting

[@JCline-cu7sk]

i’ve been asking for this for 2 years i am so happy

[@slateportraichu5416]

Text boxes now match the type? Neat=)Thank you for the video=)

[@sydneeah7321]

"No one plays Victoria II" *husband slowly raises hand* (a stream of Vicky 3 would be excellent!)

[@levy9595]

Those damage ranges in the Steven fight were PAINFUL. I know you've said in older runs you don't really understand the EV/IV system, but EV training at the very least would prove to be incredibly beneficial in these solo challenges, particularly the more difficult ones. Would've almost certainly resulted in that Claydol and Cradily being OHKOs for instance

[@markjareczek1407]

Hey MDB! Excellent challenge, even better fossil choice. This channel is one of the best on KZbin. My question for you to answer in this great new segment is... Which pokemon would be the hardest (in your opinion) to fight in a Wrestling Match?

[@samtamtamentertainment3910]

Love the content MDB! I hope you can keep going at your own pace, making what you can, and taking ample breaks! I've never really been an outspoken member of this community (as I enjoy watching and supporting from afar), however I thought being another positive comment lost to KZbin algorithm would be fun this time around! Joking aside, my wife has similar conditions to you (foremost example being EDS), so seeing your health problems firsthand has given us both a lot of insight for the future. Seeing that you haven't given up through all the hardship sent your way has really helped my wife and I see every day a little brighter than the last. You have been our quiet inspiration that everything will eventually be okay, even if there are more difficult trials to come. All in all, I hope your pain eases soon. Stay strong MDB, you have quite the supportive audience. Whether we watch patently in the back or actively voice our support, I can assume we all want to see you progress forward. Can't wait to see the next challenge run! Or the backlog that I always end up watching anyways. And if you do happen to read this, thanks from both of us! -J&A

[@Theturtleowl]

The little detail of changing the way the text bubble looks more to an icelike style is nice.

[@theheroofnothing3138]

I love that you changed the chat border to a snow theme. Nice little touch.

[@CelticGuardian7]

Great video, as usual! New question since you brought up the anime: what was your favorite episode?

[@Igneusflama]

Glad to see you back! A fun skill based one would be wobbuffet, you CAN use items in battle, but you can't do any repeatable trainer battles and no reloading before major battles. Threw a bunch of potions at a failed gym Battle? Try again without those potions. Can you beat the game before you run out of money?

[@ghostly4308]

Lovely run! Loved snorunt since I first saw him in I think gen4. On the outro part, I've played viccy2 quite a bit, but i prefer Europa Universalis 4. havent had a chance to check out viccy3 yet. Nice to see another paradox game enjoyer!

[@wortweber_gh6925]

Yeeeeeeah thank you MDB and all the best to you and your family from germany. You will win xD no doubt

[@caesarcesar7488]

Great vid as always. If you ever have another emerald run with a pokemon that has access to ghost and dark moves, I recommend having both. I'm sure you just forgot because it is stupid, but in until gen 4, all ghost moves were physical. That could've helped with Lunatone since it would ignore the light screen and calm mind special defense boosts.

[@ahaak3382]

I've wanted this run for a long time!!

[@Fisher1874]

Great run as always. Nice to see you back doing regular challenges after your health issues. I think you might have won the Steven fight if you used calcium to raise your special attack further. Might have just given you the edge. Question for you: are you still looking at doing Pokémon stadium 2 playthrough? Not one for watching playthroughs generally but really enjoyed stadium 1 with you, whattageek and Brandon

[@seitanile]

“We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.” Proceeds to cross bridge. Yes, I saw 😂

[@sensilvar7709]

My question was metioned in the video! I really didn't expect that, so out of nowhere :D Thanks!

[@toast6189]

Another youtuber I know just says use #question and puts emphasis on how that's important. Its not very original! But it's quick, easy to understand, and effective! love ya mdb!!

[@nimbus7727]

Always enjoy watching your challenge videos! I’m looking forward to when you eventually record more Mario Party! On that note, what is your favorite Mario Party mini game? If you cannot decide, do a quick top 3 or top 5. Cheers!

[@Viremind]

Appearantly being the 0.01% I loved hearing that you like Victoria 2 and 3. Fun to see people have the same wildly niche taste in games I seem to have :D

[@King_Riot]

Another run with just a little guy, 10/10, excited for the ladyba run lol

[@DrPotatoSkins]

Random question for your next grinding session: (I think it should be called TLQ: Taking Lots of Questions. Of course, for the reference to the most average PPV special in wrestling, TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs) With so many years on KZbin and so many series under your belt, has there ever been a series you regret making? Maybe you made it despite not having fun during it, or your comments hated it despite you loving it?

[@SalmonOfK84]

Disappointed that the wrestling name wasn't Al Snorunt but I'll take it lol, super entertaining run as always!

[@angeleduardosalinasmartine9378]

Thanks for this video, Snorunt is my favorite Pokémon 💙

[@ruthlesace]

Gotta learn to lean into resto chesto strats, they work wonders. Also, if I am thinking of this correctly, levels that end in 0, 3, 5, and 8, provide significant boosts to damage because of a wierd rounding work in the game, so this may save you time while grinding levels.

[@stevenrexach9686]

1:40 "Picked to replace Treeko so our rival would have Blaziken" *laughs in gen 3* Combusken or bust XD

[@yungyharnam7498]

oh man the little menu bar switch was a nice touch for this challenge lmao

[@katieofsister]

Hey there MDB! I love watching your challenges every week!! Here is my question for you: Do you ever think you’d attempt a challenge run in any rom hack or fan made Pokémon game?

[@darcreave2683]

Tbh never knew he was called Brother Runt until I looked it up just now. Good on ya MDB!

[@Eithashri]

I also really love the elder scroll challenges, it was funny :-) and of course pkmn challenges are always interesting, cause it's the chance to see forgotten pokemon that are never used or not often

[@HarryPotter-ie9uv]

Hey MDB have you ever heard of damage rounding thresholds? Scott's thoughts does and excellent job explaining it in almost all his pokemon runs. You should look into it when you try attempts and do those attempts on those specific levels. Btw I'm happy you are doing well ☺️ love your channel and love ya so keep on keeping on and LETS DO THIS!!!!!

[@joemasso9473]

Hey MDB! Love your videos!! Been a fan a few years! I want to request a few things. First I would love a heart gold or soulsilver run! Second, you could call the Q&A ‘Fan Time’. Third, I care about Vic 3 I actually would love a tutorial. Last, glad to see your health is improving! Keep taking care of yourself!! That’s it have a great day

[@rmonster7034]

I stoped Watching you for like a year but I’m now just seeing this video and remembering that iconic line with the root fossil😂

[@martirecu3010]

I'd love to see a Victoria 3 playthrough, what I've heard of it sounds fun!! I'd also love to see another no healing run in a game you haven't done

[@angelwhispers2060]

Yay new video! It's up just 1 hour

[@Rical9]

I would love to see a merch collab between you and khimyra. Curious what the designs would be. I use their long sleeves at work.

[@Chefvonbreezy]

Ah man, I love this little thing.

[@bubblebellespectacular]

New MDB Question Corner looking like a nice and fun segment (or, whatever it'll be called really)

[@realisNeo]

Idea for a run: Beat a pokemon game by using the Pokemon each Gym leader uses to defeat that Gym leader (debatable if you should also use their moveset) and use the champion‘s team for elite4 and champion. Might not be the hardest challenge, but maybe an interesting one?

[@Ba1efire]

Great video as always! Q&A Question - if you were organizing a Pokemon Royal Rumble, what Pokemon would you want to see in it and which one would win?

[@kubaignistry2910]

MY BOY! MY BOY! OMG this is the beautiful movie xd

[@blindsamhare5954]

Love these little guys and froslass is my favorite ghost trype...Anyway can you do a heracross only run? Day 5 of watching the whole pokemon challenge playist in order commenting on each...

[@omarsalama9823]

MDB hope you're recovering well! Question: Has there been occasions where you accidentally let your Pokémon evolve in these runs and you had to reset? If so, how many time? Love the runs!

[@hibye-die]

KZbin's acting up again I have notifications set to all but was never notified this went up I found this in my home page hope you start feeling 100 percent soon

[@pookaboi]

Hey, I'm that 0.01%! I would love to see you do a Vic 3 stream sometime, I've been playing it tons and really enjoying it, so it would be great to see an MDB playthrough!

I like the sound of breadtalk for questions. I feel like it would fit with your Branding.

[@kirant]

I'm glad you're 70% functional now (according to Twitter). Hope your recovery keeps going well. So question: I actually got into your channel because of your Advance Wars run. Are you planning to add Reboot Camp to your streaming rotation when it comes out?

[@Ghostslayer35]

i saw you in the most recent china uncensored video in the locals question segment!

[@anthonynorman7545]

Love the Dudleys!!

[@phoenixneo1630]

Love your runs. As for a segment name idea, maybe “Question Crumbs” or something (mostly to go with the “bread” in “Mah-Dry-Bread”). As for my question: Is there any franchise you’re interested in doing a challenge run for that you haven’t done one for yet?

[@StarSpark3071]

Cool video! Question, “Brotherunt”: When did you start liking Pokémon?

[@HisEvilDomain]

I loooooooved Arcanum of Steamworks and Magicks Obscura, I have the soundtrack! It was so much fun, I went full engineer and build the iron dagger railgun!

[@MegaDOMINOFREAK]

The way he mentioned taking the root fossil was a bit more sassy today. 10/10

[@krissysempaiart1742]

I always loved this lil gremlin vibes pokemon

[@riemaennchen]

Snorunt, the Pokémon that simultaneously that can evolve into one of my favorite AND one of my least favorite Pokémon.

[@JoyfulTeufel]

My dude, I would love to see you do an Arcanum run. I love that game.

[@Endzeitpanda]

Question: It is so obvious that you love your job (you really show that in every one of your videos!) but still, how do you do it? You uploaded each and every day for 10 years straight. Even through your serious health scare you kept us updated and jumped back into work asap. Just how did you pull through downs and awful times and everything, while still producing beautiful videos? PS: Someone suggested #askMDB for Q&A comments and I like the idea! Keep up your awesome work, man!

[@bradleynoble8101]

Say. You may not have gotten through the post-game but at least you beat the core of Pokemon Emerald with only a Snorunt so to me that was a successful run! Kudos to you MDB!

[@UstraMage]

Cool Shiny find!

[@mickgorro]

MDB: You guys have eyes! Blind listener: * cries quietly * (I'm not blind, but am typically a listener)

[@hasechoward2928]

For my question, I want to know if you had any other games lined up for challenge videos aside fallout and the elder scrolls games? Like a borderlands 2 run may be neat. Also, for the word to search, either make it some sort of joke to go with the fossil joke in each episode, or change it every time to increase watch retention. Sincerely, A big fan

[@jakobschiek9513]

As always I enjoyed the run a lot, Tate and Liza surprised me a lot. Which fossil did you took btw?

[@quinnbarker1984]

AskMDB: my question is, which region is your favorite to do challenges in, and least favorite besides Unova. Good to see the challenges and videos returning.

[@rickyterheege20duitseherde36]

Hope youre doing wel i love youre videos!

[@braydensonaslaughtmbve545]

Mah dry bread is hands down the best Pokémon challenge KZbinr.

[@reddragoon4hawke548]

How about for the "CodeWord" for the question is Mah-Dry-Question? Here's MY-Dry-Question.......sorry lol: In all of the Gens, which dragon type pokemon is your favorite? Love all of Can I Beat videos. I sometimes just put it as my background when I play my games and I watch then when I take a break from game to game. Keep up the good work.

[@GenerusCrow]

Maybe blizzard on Steven would have worked over Ice Beam for that last fight. It's not as accurate, so it might have been another while and might not have even ended up working anyway. Either way, the video was great. Good job with the challenge. I've always liked Snorunt, but you get it so late in the game it's usually not better than anything else you might have

[@WildLastFrontier]

My favorite ice type! My hopes aren't high, I've tried it before lol

[@anthonynorman7545]

I've never played Victoria 2. You're the only person I've ever heard talk about it 😅
