[@yannikbuhler4980]

Also, some of you might know that already, the great ball in Gen1 is mostly better than the ultra ball due to some oversight in the formula for catching Pokémon. There is a great video explaining this by Lyra made a website. It's really stupid, and thus typically Gen1

[@jayzell3687]

@@xeno_phobik I tried my best. And hey? You're the hero we need just as much, comments are good for the Yourube algorithm, so I took the 9 attempts route to make some of the graphics when poke swaps and battle changes occurred.

I chose the SlowMoBro fossil, but comments are good for the algorithm. Guess if I'm right or not with the other brave soldier who calc'd it at 93?

Oh by the way, you probably already started it, but there is an option in the Universal Pokemon Randomizer to have trade evolutions evolve by level up! You might want to ask the audience if you should turn that on or what level would be good, but I think it makes sense given the spirit of the run that you could allow the trade evolutions to evolve some different way!

[@bigdog421]

@@brandonsmith2459 Depends on the evolution method. For the just trade to evolve like Machamp yeah, but if you want a Slowking on Crystal, you'll have to use a water stone

[@Populon993]

Yes, also thought of this. Might be considered cheating, since it alters the game, but personally I'd be fine with this, since it's mostly to compensate for not being able to actually trade. Even if he already started the run, it should still work. Afaik you can put a rom through the Randomizer mid-run without breaking anything. Would only "re-randomize" stuff depending on the settings (which we don't do here anyways).

[@OneShotQuesters]

Good heck I was not prepared to have my name be said so many times in this video 🤣🤣

Have you considered doing gen1 with only Blaine's team? You can use items in battle, but healing items only when your hp is full, status healing items(burn heal, ice heal) only when you're not statutes and X items only when you're at +6 of said status (and Dire Hit only after Focus Energy, Guard Spec only after Safeguard)

3:51 You're not alone, MDB, I always get celadon and cerulean mixed up too, these names are similar and confusing.

[@zanon__]

In Gen 1, Moltres is, indeed, weak to ice. Fire didn't have ice resistance back then, so it was "neutral" to it. But the double-typing being "Flying", makes Ice x2 effective vs Moltres. You just don't see the "It's super effective" message because its main type is Fire. Also the Great Balls thing: Yep, Great Balls (due to Gen 1's amazing coding) are better than Ultra Balls when there are no status effects in place. Only in Gen 1. Fun fact: In Gen 2: the Moon Ball is "supposed" to multiply the catch rate by 4 on Pokémon that evolve with Moon Stone! But because of Gen 1 and 2's spaghetti code, the game instead does that on Pokémon that evolve with Burn Heal. Because the game uses the index number that Moon Stone has in Generation I, and NOT the index number it has in Generation II, the Moon Ball does not have any additional effect and always acts like a Poké Ball.

[@sobblegaming350]

Yes and also the fast ball is only effective on grimer, tangela and magnemite for some reason

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

​@@sobblegaming350 and the Love Ball has a higher catch rate on same-gendered mons, instead of opposite-gendered mons like it was supposed to.

[@rutgerkoenders6527]

I think a Cranidos solo run in Platinum could be interesting. It has super high physical attack but bad stats over all, and a type matchup that isn't ideal for most of the leaders

[@cactuswithglasses8006]

So...Did you check Hidden Power? Awesome run, especially awesome to get to see both Dodrio and Articuno pull weight. There's something I've always loved about Gen 1 Dodrio, and Articuno is one of my favorite pokemon of all time despite how often it's gotten the short end of the stick as a Legendary. It genuinely got me smiling seeing you went out of your way to capture the Legendary Birds for this run, who knows when that'll ever happen again.

[@tpbloomfield]

Fun fact, Articuno's kind of unique in that it can learn Mind Reader and Sheer Cold, making it the only pokemon (besides smeargle sketching those moves) that can learn a OHKO move and has a way to guarantee it'll hit every time.

[@Dragonstorm1234]

Dodrio is the second best gen 1 flying type behind Zapdos, it's faster with better coverage than fearow and the other flying types are mostly pretty bad

[@ACoolDudePlays]

I think the only question is what fossil he took in Mt. Moon

[@timemonkey]

A run where you can only use Gym TMs would be interesting. Play normally until you beat the first gym then only the tm moves. You could use any pokemon you wanted, and as many as you wanted, but since the tms are single use you have to choose wisely.

[@JoeyWedds]

What about going a run with only multi hitting moves? Like fury attack, bullet seed, arm thrust, double kick etc. probably would be best in gen 3

[@hipojoe]

Pokémon challenge: Gen 1 only krabby, no HM Pokémon. Krabby can learn all three required hms

[@deadsparrow132]

Great video, as always! :) Tick the box "Change impossible evos" in Universal Randomizer and you can evolve Haunter and Kadabra without trading (just by level up). It's a bit late now, I guess, since MDB already started the run. But for future reference, it works :)

[@L337N1NJ4L1NK]

Hey, so I have an idea for a run. How about a "Mimic Only" run? The idea would be that you can use whichever Pokemon you want, but they can only use "Mimic" and the mimicked move in battle. Any Gen would work, but Gen 1 might be the most fun for this.

[@andriypredmyrskyy7791]

Single move challenges are very type dependant, so it might be interesting to use moves with variable type, or would that make things too easy? Mimic, secret power, mirror move, OHKO moves? (We all know metronome was no fun) I take it all back, a psywave-only run is the only option

[@dakotashroom5401]

If he did a Psywave only pokémon playthrough than he should be allowed to use rare candies. The reason is for his audience's enjoyment and he can use his videos as a reference on what level his pokémon should be.

[@PoisonFlower765]

The closest you can get to a Gen 1 Rage only run is to use a Kangaskhan with Scrappy in Gen 4. You'd either have to grind early game so you can use only Rage the rest of the run or give it Rage at the beginning. Now that you know it's possible (albeit not in Gen 1), you legally have to do it, I don't make the rules.

[@python1972]

Yeah but Rage is WAY better in Gen 4, like its actually viable to give Croconaw it especially if you're going against Whitney as Rollouts puny starting damage basically gives you 2 power boosts

[@chrisswanepoel7389]

I'm having an internal chuckle at the idea of someone asking a Goldeen what the difference between its Horn Attack and its Peck is, and the Goldeen doing exactly what you'd expect for Horn Attack, but then Peck is just an aggressive and unwanted fish kiss

[@bananaslamma35]

25:46: You are now picturing Lance chucking a hyper potion and hitting Fearow with it, dealing damage.

[@seanjohnson5474]

I feel that wing attack should also be allowed to be used because they literally the exact same move in generation one

[@Lukeisboring]

But its only peck

[@sandyr5407]

But do they use their beak (or horn in Goldeen’s case)?

[@PyroBlitz]

MDB knows how to get my attention by slapping Fearow on the thumbnail. Can’t wait for this!

[@darthweebious4604]

difference between horn attack and peck on goldeen. when it uses horn attack it just charges u with its horn, hence its normal. when pokemon use peck, there beak/ horn glows making it able to hit ghosts

[@lapidations]

Fearow has been my favorite pokemon since forever. It makes me so glad to see him in those challenge runs for once.

[@icew0lf_965]

[@BigTymerz2009]

MDB: oh thank God, I won't have to do a Gen 1 Rage ONLY run because of ghosts Everyone: Damn it!!!!! Mission failed boys, we'll get him next time

[@dakotashroom5401]

This is a thoroughly entertaining run. Here is an idea for a pokémon playthrough of pokémon red or yellow. What if you only used continuously attacking moves? This would mean any move where after using it your pokémon will only use that move until it misses or faints. These moves are like rollout. They prevent you from using items on your pokémon while it is using a move in battle. These moves are Wrap, Rage, Thrash, Clamp, and Petal Dance. I think that's all of them. Everyone knows you most likely won't use rage. But, Mankey learns rage and thrash. In red and yellow Mankey learns Thrash at level 39.

[@paulthompson382]

[@deadsparrow132]

Wasn't there one nicknamed something funny in the pokémon stadium playthrough? That would be hilarious.

[@darkfiredragon3410]

Tried it months ago and it's brutal. Lance's Gyarados is *that* much of a brick wall that, using similar strats to Jrose, I had to get to lv 78 because you HAVE to two-shot it with Body Slam or he will either two-shot you back or leave you too weak to beat the other 4 pokemon. It was bad enough to make me forfeit my attempt at doing the same with Vulpix and Ninetales, because they're so much weaker physically than the fire dogs that Vulpix's more interesting movepool (Confuse Ray + Fire Spin specifically) sometimes isn't enough to make up for the lack of Agility, and Ninetales doesn't get ANY of those moves so it ends up being even worse than its pre-evolution.

[@emulare1110]

You should do a run with…no rules. Just a regular play through. I’m dying to see what you playing normally would look like. I bet you would even take the dome fossil!

[@saleah4368]

Hey Mah-Dry-Bread, I know why it took so long to catch those Pokémon with ultra balls. I just watched the video I linked below which explains gen1 catch rates. As expected they don’t make any sense.

Would you ever consider doing a whacky divinity original sin run? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIuTin9vp5V1aas

[@ricardooskam1657]

Great balls can often be better than ultra balls, but for a low HP legendary like this situation, ultras should still be better. What does blow my mind is that there's no advantage to go below 33% HP.

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

Oh, I think I've been getting that one recommended to me.

[@AdrianoDonizetiJr]

You should do a run without damaging moves in red/blue or fire red/leaf green, you get to start with bulbasaur so you have leech seed and train forcing enemy metapod/kakuna to struggle, you'll need to catch another pokemon to help stall the Metapod/Kakuna's harden! Hope you see and do it!

[@ninjapotatolorf6237]

About that idea for a Rage only run, it is theoretically possible, depending on the Gen you try to do it in. That's because Kangaskhan learns it and also gets Scrappy as an ability, allowing you to use the move against Ghost types.

[@OnceandFutureGamer]

I don't know how you feel about changing out parts of the game, but some of the randomizers can tweak to allow level up evolution of trade-only pokemon. I think it still requires you to level them to 45 or so to get them to evolve. Just something that might make your runs a bit easier, maybe make a community poll to see if your viewers would be in favor of it?

Yo, MDB! I've been watching you for some time now and I love the vids! Just a heads up, victory road is the WORST place to grind due to the vast difference in levels. The pokémon mansion is where it's at. In blue (the only gen 1 game I've played recently) it varies between 250+ from a grimer to 700+ from a Ponyta. Yeah there's a chance of poison but the pokemon center isn't too far and once you can one-shot things it's a breeze

Fantastic run MDB! Always loved fearow and I stick to my statement: Peck the most overpowered underpowered move of gen 1

I recently rewatched those videos, and I have to say I'd love another Oblivion challenge. They were hilarious. Maybe a Stolen Items only run? O know you did one in Skyrim, but I have really fond memories of stealing in Oblivion.

For the rival's team run, you can trade by opening a multiplayer window in mGBA. It's a godsend, but make sure you make a save state for both games you're using beforehand. It can be kind of screwy sometimes.

Super excited for the next challenge in crystal, haunter is my absolute favorite pokemon and to watch you use him in a run is gonna be awesome for me. Kinda glad you can't evolve him into gengar for this. Don't get me wrong gengar is great but I just like haunter better lol.

thanks for the english lesson i needed that and i noted that down

[@Smol_Butt_Cheeky]

I think for runs like this one where you're allowed to use multiple pokemon, you should put the Battle Style settings to "Set" to increase the difficulty a bit.

I’m happy to see Dodrio get some attention! So happy in fact, that I’m commenting, because comments are good for the algorithm.

[@Jasonwolf1495]

Comments are good for the KZbin Algorithim! I don't know what to say this time, but I want to show support, so here we go again! Also I think for the rival team one you should use something like pokegen to force them to evolve or something of that sort. It's more important to have the full accurate team.

[@EluneAnzu]

I don't know about the first and second gens because I've only used it for generation 3+ but the universal pokemon randomizer has an option for changing trade evolutions into a method you can do without actually trading, so that'd be a potential fix for the Gengar/Alakazam thing. IIRC it's labeled "fix impossible evolutions".

[@richardcrafton1805]

This concept is super fun, I think it would be better in a game where the Pokemon had abilities. Then you'd have a bit more strategy involved.

That Koga fight was hilarious. _"You get an X Attack! And you get an X Attack! EVERYONE GETS AN X ATTACK!"_

Main Character: Mom, I become Pokemon League Champion Mom: How did you do it?! Main Character: I used Peck! Lol awesome run!
